You’re possibly thinking of Simon Tong who was brought in to try and fill in for Nick. Simon Jones has always been a part of the band, and always been the bass player.

haha yes A Storm in Heaven is in this man's opinion a perfect album. I'm not a huge fan of Richard's ballads and prefer the music lead by Nick and Simon. Their EP is probably my 2nd favorite release of theirs. And I love So it Goes and Life's An Ocean & Stormy Clouds, but if i had to take one album with me it's ASIH. 92-95 they were incredible imo ;)

Reply to comment by DevinBelow in After The Cure/Robert Smith vs Ticketmaster episode, is any new concert/tour with platinum pricing just an indication the artist doesn't actually care about their fans? by Hobonics

Yeah i guess that was where my hope lied. I had hoped (and continue to) that Robert Smith had gotten enough publicity for it that other acts would follow his lead.
