I'm not the world's biggest Cure fan, but the guitar riff in "Fascination Street" is a MOTHER.

...especially on the almost-nine-minute "extended remix" version that was on the CD single (as well as the "Mixed Up" album).

Here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xaUmpb2-Osw

Especially the fat-assed chord that's hit at the 1:47 mark, the resulting feedback and sustain, and that four horsemen of the fucking apocalypse riff itself, which comes in at 2:06. Enjoy!

1. I was a huge Cure fan...
I think their first 4 albums were fantastic.... after that not so much. I think they started getting more commercial and pop : therefore more radio play. I loved their more gloomy stuff.
