Guitarist Reeves Gabrels poses in March 1993 with a Parker Guitars prototype, a visually striking mahogany, modernist-shaped instrument designed by Ken Parker and decorated by Gabrels with drawings and found objects. Gabrels, who worked with David Bowie in the 1990s, has a bleached-blond buzz cut and shadowy eye makeup; he is dressed in black with a black feather-boa guitar strap. The photo is by Karjean Levine and available via Getty Images.

Hairdressers learned the "wedge" cut, as it was called; it was popular and worked well for many. Here is my wife, Susan, in Jun 1977.

Re: Outside/Run - Here's a new Facebook post by Kevin Armstrong (@armstrongk.bsky.social) explaining the song's origins went back further, to 1981. Read the comments, too (& see my screenshot). www.facebook.com/share/p/15d3...

Jan 1997 - David Bowie's 50th birthday show in NYC. Robert Smith performs 'The Last Thing You Should Do' with David. I'm on guitars and led DB's band. It was the song's live & world premiere as the album, Earthling, was released a month later (Feb 1997).

Screen grab from a live show video excerpt: on a dimly lit stage, Robert Smith (of The Cure) sings at a microphone at left, foreground, and David Bowie holds a mic and sings at right. A shadowy bass player is at center rear (not identifiable, but it is Gail Ann Dorsey from Bowie's band). The still shot is from a Pay-Per-View broadcast of David Bowie's 50th birthday show in NYC in early Jan 1997. Robert Smith was one of a number of guest performers. An Instagram user named "mariage blanc art" shared the brief (under 30 seconds) video clip identifying the occasion and the song as 'The Last Thing You Should Do.' They specifically noted that Bowie's guitarist was Reeves Gabrels. Gabrels led Bowie's band at the time; 15 years later in 2012, Gabrels joined The Cure.

Guitarist Reeves Gabrels in action on a stage in 2024. In reddish light, he is playing an electric guitar and leaning into it at a 45-degree angle, pressing down on a vibrato bar. A coiled guitar cable is draped over the thigh of his non-weight-bearing leg. He is bearded, wearing glasses and has an intent look yet his jaw and shoulders are relaxed. He is wearing a black long-sleeve Tshirt lettered "LUCIPURR," with a graphic image of a cat with ram horns. His guitar is a Reeves Gabrels-SUS signature model by Reverend Guitars. Chris Cardi took the photo and retains copyright; used by Reeves Gabrels, with permission, for promo.

IMPOSTER ALERT — Please block this imposter who copied my info, has reposted my posts, and is scamming people via DM. Thank you, and take care. rg

Screen shot of an imposter’s DM trying to lure followers of the real Reeves Gabrels (guitarist of The Cure) into corresponding. The scammer claims “this page is a private account” and says they “need some sort of escape from my busy schedule” and “to come here and get to know my fans… on a personal level.” DM ends with two heart emojis. Poor grammar and poor punctuation throughout.

The cat is called Buddy, and these picks (2024) are the first of Reeves’ to feature a cat. (It’s Susan Gabrels typing here.) He’s had various designs over time. For the past several years, his picks have said “The Cure,” with an image from one of Reeves’ solo albums on the reverse.
