Bob Smith


Don't you think that the figure on the album cover for Depeche Mode's Playing The Angel looks like Robert Smith of The Cure?


Ok, add a "feathery guitar"....



Ok, maybe not exactly "separated at birth" but close enough lah.

Hahaha...mind was nearly in gutter. Thank goodness the positioning of "guitar" was relatively high up torso.

Hahahah. This was discussed on the forums extensively when the album was first released. I guess they were bored!

really? i thought it looked familiar when i picked up DM's album recently.

can't make it for The Cure's concert. darned sailing....

Some DM fans made the same mental association too! I didn't though. Thus, I was amused when you independently noted the similarities!



Damn!

The Cure coming here is a rarity. I heard that he is also performing in Hong Kong too. Thus, I think it is regional. Surely, you can still make one of the regional cities?
