Wow, it's always sort of weird to see footage of how much of a sot Smith was when he was in the Banshees.

Yeah, I've read plenty of his assessments of how fucked up it was for him to be doing two full shows a night and then doing home recordings with the Glove. It's just...seeing him with a shark's eyes, swaying back and forth with an unhappy-looking archaic smile, it's sort of amazing that he cleaned up enough to rethink the Cure as completely as he ended up doing.
