Unsafe Situations

Dos and Don'ts: It's refreshing when musicians are both articulate and self-aware. In this older interview, a down-to-earth Robert Smith talks about his own "preposterous" appearance and how he uses makeup to make his features more discernable.

So makeup is still good when it comes to performing, but alcohol is not. Really the whole interview is about the things Smith will and won't do onstage. Personally, I would like to see him embrace his fears and perform drunk, bearded, without make-up, barefoot, in a musical with Ashlee Simpson. Would pay good money for that.
