Who remembers 1988, Xcess, Houston and when this song came on, the video screens rolled down and some video I've yet to see again come on.... of course I was X out of my mind
I love this version of "Rain". I am so impressed with Ian's vocals and the band's great guitar sounds. The drummer is wonderful too. They are the perfect band. I am so glad they have been so successful. Greatness should last forever.
This is cool but NOT the best version The studio is dead on I have lots of Cult studio and bootleg recordings. Seen the Cult several times in Detroit since the release of Sonic Temple , wish I had known of them sooner
@@leemelone6482Same, Livonia Michigan here, the cult is the band that I've seen the most times in my life are there any other band, 13 times I've seen them and most of them were in Detroit
Rain is my favourite Cult song. This mix of it is pretty good. Saw them live ...they made the hairs stand up on the back of my neck and my heart beat. Unbelievable band.
Wow, so cool. Another band I wish I'd seen live but a generation too young (i'm 36). They don't half create and sing some brilliant music though. What a band! I even bought their great hits on vinyl for my Dad.
@@hossywoof yes. It is TRUE. they are BRIILLANT. Saw them 2x at the SB county bowl. they are GODHEAD..we were lucky to have grown up with music like this
Si ballava in discoteca in italia dalle mie parti , precisamente in Sicilia ... soprattutto a fine serata ...eta il periodo Dark...tutti vestiti di nero ..😂...oggi ho 60 anni !😢😢! Che ricordi !!
In October 1987 I saw The Cult twice at Selina's Coogee Bay Hotel. Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles won the Premiership 18-8 over The Canberra Raiders. I saw them play the entire ELECTRIC album in 2013. Finished the gig with SUN KING from Sonic Temple. Brilliant!!!!!!!!
i grew up on this, even have the 12" which this sounds like that version, but it reminds of dark events in the 90s. losing my fiance suddenly and never recovering....i waited a long time and lost her...blah...
Great extended version. It constructs & deconstructs itself & I LOVE the more noticeable effects on the vocals, especially, & I can't say anything bad about Billy Duffy's guitar playing bcuz it's perfection. It's his sound, thing, brain, heart & everything cool.
Sometime,in the early 90's,my wife & I were attending a Memorial Concert for Rob Tyner,of the MC5,at The Fillmore in Detroit after he passed.There was 20 Bands,The Cult was playing the last of 3 nights,next door at The Fox Theatre. The Bands culminated into An All Star Jam. As they were leaving,we thought it was over. About 12:30 The Cult hit the Stage & played over 2 hours, & I was surprised they were paying homage to the MC5 & covered, "Kick Out The Jams." Awesome night.
I hear You! Ever since the Cult rose I bought every record and could sing every song they ever made!! What a Band they were! As I miss them heaps but have there recording for my lifetime!! Aussie chrisso 🇦🇺 ♥️
❤ 2020 ❤ This record still rocks.. first heard them in the 80's at the Isle Of Man TT races.. they brought the house down with this record... Forever in my heart❤
Dancing with a chick on live TV late 80's Toronto. DJ was Chris Sheppard and dance show was the second version of Electric Circus TV show. Oh ya...I got SOME!
It was long ago my path led me out to play as a temporary fill in in Florida THATS WHER I LEARNED THAT THIS MUSIC HEALS AND NOT TO SOUND LIKE A WEIRD MOTHER BUT IT GOT ME CREATIVE AS I HAD EVER BEEN ALSO. IN A VERY DARK PLACE THE JUKE BOXES N STRIP CLUBS PLAYED THE CRAP OUTTA THAT SHTUFF LOVE THE CLUT MAN
The original record came with the cloud etc all raised on the cover, I have over ten versions of just the cover on this one track, over 250 versions of all the vinyl they produced, I went overboard all the way to ZAP CITY- Great Days best band of the 80s
I love this song, that being said, does anyone else think the musical part at the beginning, and again later sounds like Alice Cooper's Gutter Cat VS the Jets? No worries, both great rock songs.💫🤟

I was at Energy's in Houston in 88 when I heard the rave version. Tripping on X for my 1st time. It's was a Blast!
xcess every top act of the era was there Sarah Woench and I dancing - we were the definition of cool.
Rolling hard on X , got over heated dancing to this and go outside and it starts pouring🌧️
I remember that , and blue planet, or Pete's would jamm this, 8-O's club too
So many clubs in Houston back than...wth happened to all those good times.
I love this version of "Rain". I am so impressed with Ian's vocals and the band's great guitar sounds. The drummer is wonderful too. They are the perfect band. I am so glad they have been so successful. Greatness should last forever.
This version, I believe, is on the "rare cult" box set. I love it👍
I agree with you, a truly great band
Cults music shall never burn out it carry n lives on FOREVER AND IT WILL NOT EVER DIE ROCK THIS BAND PEOPLE
Turn that music up the CULT rips baby SHAKE IT UP SPRIT WALKER
The drummer is Mark Brzezicki from Big Country
By far the best version
This is cool but NOT the best version The studio is dead on I have lots of Cult studio and bootleg recordings. Seen the Cult several times in Detroit since the release of Sonic Temple , wish I had known of them sooner

It's August 2023 and this song is still amazing 😊
And here we are in August 2024....still listening. :) 💙🖤💙🖤
Billy Duffy = class
Is Billy actually a MAGICIAN? The sounds he gets out of his guitar suggests YES. No one else I know plays so brilliantly as he does.
Rain is my favourite Cult song. This mix of it is pretty good. Saw them live ...they made the hairs stand up on the back of my neck and my heart beat. Unbelievable band.
You have excellent taste sir!

amazing live was so unforgettable.
I don't always listen to the Cult but when I do so do my neighbors.
Most underrated UK band EVER - Coolest guitarist on earth
Saw these guys 7 times....every time was better than the last! Incredible band!

Spook disco in Valencia (Spain) 1990, loud as hell, a superhit in my land. Great memories. It keeps up the power after more than 30 years
Grew up with this music..........the spirit of youth will live forever❤️
Awesome I remember in 1987 when I heard this at a nightclub in Houston,, loud as hell.
In October 1987 I saw The Cult twice at Selina's Coogee Bay Hotel.
Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles won the Premiership 18-8 over The Canberra Raiders.
I saw them play the entire ELECTRIC album in 2013.

Brilliant!!!!!!!!
1987, Club Neo, Denver...good times!
Numbers i bet or 6400.
Excente musica.
Yucatan Liquor Stand!
Santa Monica Civic 1985.. barely 16. Best concert ever
RAIN IS PERHAPS A STORY FOR ENVERYONE WHO REMEMBERS GROWING UP IN THE 80S A DECADE THAT MADE US
i grew up on this, even have the 12" which this sounds like that version, but it reminds of dark events in the 90s. losing my fiance suddenly and never recovering....i waited a long time and lost her...blah...
Fantastic mix. Loved dancing to this at Walkers in Newcastle upon Tyne in 86-87. Long live 80s rock!
Great extended version. It constructs & deconstructs itself & I LOVE the more noticeable effects on the vocals, especially, & I can't say anything bad about Billy Duffy's guitar playing bcuz it's perfection. It's his sound, thing, brain, heart & everything cool.
This song will always be one of my very top favorites of all time idc what anyone says its always been my running/racing song
Totally get that.
Makes me love the rain.
This is rock
here come the bullet's..lol
Rock'n'roll is the answer!
@@SpookyElectric319 Correct. But, a Fire Woman would know! 😁

Awesome story! Wish I could have experienced it as well!!!!!
Long live the 80’s!!!
NRG 1986. The lights, the speakers, the dry ice and the :x
901 N. Shepherd, Houston. Aka, NRG. This was a highlight every Saturday…….x:
Pure Classic from the Cult!! I Love The 🌧 ... and being 68!!!!😃🙌👍🙌😀
Apart from my family this music is what I will miss when my time is up
U got it man.
I feel you 100% on this. This music was and is still my life, my world, my space!
Well don't miss them play on November 5th in Biloxi,Mississippi.

Tell me more !!
2023 here ❤🎉
Brlliant track. Just want to stand in the rain and sing it from the top of my lungs.
It's not about rain, you know. Our band was not allowed to play it at our high school.
Love the Cult an Awesome Band, saw them few times back in the 80's and 90's one of my Faves of all time.
Still gives me goosebumps and I remember where I was and what I was doing and how lucky I was to be doing it. I was truly alive in every sense ✌️💜😁
We need all the rain we can get here in Australia.
I pray for it!!!
I doubt ejaculation will have any impact on the fires.
How are things?
Deeply saddened from NZ 💚🕊️
@@mogshade66 Things are a bit better now. We have had some rain recently which is great news.
Oow,there's now,I heard....God bless the animals....fuck humans....destroyers of the world....
One of my all time favorite songs....The Cult ROCKS!!!!
Some body at the Rock and Roll Hall of fame has their heads up their arse!!
Hall of Fames are a joke...The Cure just got in...wtf?
I knew this when ABBA got in before KISS?????????? WTF, not to mention RUSH....Rock and Roll Hall of POLITICS is more like it
Great for those long drives….. add this track to the long road trip song list!!!
" I've been waiting, for her, for so long" line I will sing to her
This is on "Rare Cult" and love it. I like so many versions of their songs on rare Cult.
And released on: Expanded edition 2cds, Omnibus edition 4cds....
@@jrgenholteng1529 I got it when it was two songs on one CD.
Saw them at the Sheraton Waikiki in late 80s, they had a huge 3d back drop and gave 3d glasses when you got in, awesome
Used to dance to this ar the Wave and Pink Cadillac in Waikiki in 188-89. This was the definitive song of that -lace during those years.
Do I have to really dignify the 'Cult"? I have been spreading their love since the late 80's. Yeh!
...and sometimes,when it rains, you hope it never stops.
My favorite Cult song. Magic. 💕💕💕
This song is in my all time top ten ,wish i had seen them live at DOWNLOAD . Thanks for posting a true gem.
I've been waiting, so long, for her...❤❤❤
The Love album was something else 🤘❤️🤘
So good so underated Rock on The Cult
Clear, solid, rhytmic rock. :)
Just found out this existed. Excellent reinterpretation of the regular version. Love the reworked instruments and vox.
Brings back all the feels 🙏. Favourite song of all time. Fkn Ace 👊
Excelente grupo
Lo mejor es un legado de la musica para las nuevas generaciones.
SONIC PERFECTION !!!! And what if THE CURE joined them on this masterpiece? I can only lmagine the beautiful possibilities.
This vocal track is the best of them all, including all of the extended versions
The B side of this single was awesome,, Littleface,, I still have the album,, the artwork in the sleeve is fantastic..
Seen them last year and just got my tickets for May 20th these guys still got it. F. N. Rock
Saw them Live during the Love tour in the Royal Albert Hall, and they were amazing .. I have the official t-shirt too 😍👊🏼💜
epic.......wonderful song

This is some tight music listen to the bottom end just great the guitar 🎸 is great ... great band 👌
This music and the lyrics flow so well. The song makes me feel as if I am the rain.
What a fantastic version of an already great song i remember when i first saw the video on mtv with the goth girls the cult rules no doubt about it
The girls are called the Anadin Brothers.
The Cult borrowed them from Doctor and the Medics.
Just like Doctor and the Medics, Spirit in the Sky! Beautiful miserable b*tches! 🤩
pure energy!
Simply divine.
This band knows how to lay down a hard riff and if you don't like them you don't understand metal METAL M E T A L !!!
the Cult opening up for
Metallica
mid 90's
nothing better
Metallica should open for Cult.
MUCH better band.
Metallica has nothing on The Cult Metallica is okay get old after a while
Who is Metallica ?
Seriously they maybe good in their own music style but its not mine I prefer the Cult
I saw that tour. Went for the Cult. Left during Metallica.

What was the version of this song that had wolves howling in the beginning..y'all did it in the club in Houston Tx.
Confetti San Diego in Mission Valley. When I thought that I had it all figured out...
I used to party there in the 80s and Club 6400
Totally awesome!
For y'all dead out there, did you actually listen to this classic? Breath brothers and sisters. "...I love the rain..". Rain, yeah, yeah!
Great band
