    The searing guitar, and Ian Astburys "Jim Morrison impression", was what made The Cult.

    • @gog583
      @gog583 Рік тому +3

      Not only Impression, but sounded a lot like him at times as well. In fact, he joined the surviving members of The Doors and went on tour as Morrison's replacement under "Doors 2000".

      Been a fan since they hit the seen and never once thought of Morrison on album. Astbury's early attitude and ego did.

    I really don't know how I missed this when you first reacted to it, considering I was one of the people who recommended it. The band went through a few name changes, originally they were called 'The Southern Death Cult', then later, 'Death Cult' and eventually 'The Cult', this is by far their best known track, but they do have many other good tracks such as 'Spiritwalker' which would be another great track to react to.

    In between songs you could hear the music being played in the upstairs club, and Ian kept joking about the crappy New Order dance music. LOL!

    Apparantly Aspberry auditioned for the lead in the Doors movie and was looking good before Val Kilmer stepped in and got the gig, the Cult were a Cult in the 80's, great band and were watered down slightly because of all the other great music about at that time, the cure, big country, the alarm, U2, simple minds who were all loosely in the same genre, happy days, great music.

    Ooh, a namecheck! :) Given that I recommended it, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
    I always find the guitar line thrilling - I've never managed to play it properly, but I've also seen live videos of the Cult play it and well, neither does Billy Duffy. Now I know why!
    If you want to investigate more Cult, the obvious next track to go would be "Rain", the next single off the same album. I might also suggest the Skeletal Family track "Promised Land", which has a similar vibe on the instruments but with very different vocals.

So much so Billy uses a Ronson Tribute Guitar he calls “Woody”since Ronson Stripped the Front of his Les Paul to natural wood during his Bowie and Early Ian Hunter Albums Billy Duffy also uses a Falcon Gretsch , his Signature Guitar. 🎸 Love the Cult.

And great live, I saw them a few times, and they always put on a top show. Re I.A, the singer, he would go onto sing with members of The Doors for 1 tour (I think). They were called The Doors of the 21st centrury, for legal reasons. I beleive the tour was beset with problems, but the time I went was a great night.

    Interesting you hear the Cure... perhaps those who forge teen identities at any given time, we slice sounds finely. I do ~not~ hear the Cure, but maybe understand why you do. Subtle differences are huge. The Cult was much more Rock, but non-mainstream rock. I'd say Cult took a Doors-ish psychedelic vibe. Others, while liking punk, were drawn heavily to Sabbath and Zeppelin influences, which became the grunge movement.
