The Cure Trivia Questions

Smith was a temporary member of Siouxsie and the Banshees, providing guitar work for their UK top 10 hit cover of 'Dear Prudence'.

Robert Smith felt the band was falling apart and wrote 'Disintegration' as a swan song, but its massive success instead revitalized the group.

Robert Smith wrote it quickly in the studio to meet a deadline, thinking it was a throwaway; it became one of their biggest hits.

Smith frequently names Hendrix as an inspiration, particularly for his use of feedback and texture.
