The singer is Ian Astbury, and yes you are right. He is an amazing frontman, but never seems to be in the discussion about the greatest frontmen of all time. In my opinion he is right up there with the likes of Mick Jagger, Steven Tyler, and Axl Rose to name just a few. He is a true entertainer. And Billy Duffy absolutely slays the guitar. I'm seeing them live at the end of July and I can't wait.
Astbury, NO DOUBT, one of the best frontmen EVER
Had the voice AND the moves.
I love the Cult, but I don’t think you can compare him to A listers like Mick Jagger or Steven Tyler. But I’d agree with the Axl Rose comparison. Also agree that Billy Duffy is an awesome guitar player. Now he’s a musician that doesn’t get nearly enough accolades!
There’s part of your problem.. thinking that Axle Rose was a great frontman…
I can see the Axl comparison, but I’d also throw in Jim Morrison as well.
@@swinglow33 .... Ian did front The Doors of The 21st Century. Ray Manzarek, Robbie Krieger and Ian took Jim Morrison's place. Got to see them in concert here in Chicago. 2004 I believe
The Cult were much more influential than their record sales would indicate. They pretty much saved hard rock at a time when it had become very cheesy.
The only front man of my generation who came close to Jim Morrison of The Doors. He even performed with the surviving members of the band. I’ve seen The Cult many times over the years and they never disappoint. Ian and Billy are an incredible team. To me they transcended post punk and hair metal . They had their own sound and vibe.
The Lizard King? Cool! I like the comparison. Perfect. Been a fan since Sonic Temple came out in.HS
He channels Morrison in almost everything. The hair, the crooning, the black leather pants. He’s even wearing the Skull hat that Morrison wore in Miami in ‘69.
I thought from the first time I heard The Cult that Ian Astbury was channeling Jim Morrison.
So freaking agree!
Saw them all play..him with the DOORS.. AWESOME
Ian Astbury is in a rare club of front men who have it ALL. Him & Michael Hutchence have the voice, the looks, the moves & the stage charisma that just oozes out naturally & captivates. Elvis & Jim Morrison also had this rare stage charisma. The Cult is iconic & I'm so happy they have made a resurgence because Ian still has it!
True rock Gods .
They started out as a goth band called "Southern Death Cult", then they became "Death Cult", then just "The Cult". Ian Astbury is a tremendous vocalist. ":Love Removal Machine" is another great one from them.
OMG yes. Love that song.
I’ll second that one!
Yes - I came down here to recommend the next song be LRM!
Billy Duffy is no quite shabby guitarist either.
Well, SDC was a different band that Ian was in which he appropriated part of the name from. What we know today as "The Cult" started when Billy joined with Ian for "Death Cult."
“Sweet Soul Sister” and “Love Removal Machine” need to be your next Cult reactions. You’ll love both.
Sweet soul sister... Incredible song. Great suggestion! SO MANY MEMORIES. lol
My favorite band I have seen them three times in Spain "Sweet soil sister" deserves one reaction!.
Lil Devil and Revolution too
SSS was at the top of Cult album sales, but they were getting away from their core audience. Sonic Temple was a good album, but not as good as the three before it.
LOVE REMOVAL MACHINE!!!!!!!! Yes, please!!!!
Ian Astbury is one of the greatest vocalists/performers of the 80’s-90’s and still rocking it today. Billy Duffy one of the best guitarists as well!
One of the most underrated bands back in the 80's...However they're still kicking it..Shake Baaaby 👍✌✌😬
OMG - stop with the "underrated" comment.
@@sonjaheck3156 Well maybe you are if.. my age..however many bands have and have been underrated according to the music industry.
However everyone is entitled their opinion
I am 61. I remember this band very well. @@christophermcclanahan1353
in the 80's we heard a ton of "POSER" bands these guys were not one of them. They had a great sound, tons of talent, and amazing energy.
Right on. I was a junior in high school when this dropped. This was everything rock was supposed to be that it wasn't at the time. The Cult is the uncut cocaina.
They're a band with a lot of hair, but not a hair band. At all. Kiss my ass, Poison.
👊🏼💪🏼
And then they met Rick Rubin! 🤬
In fact, I feel that The Cult were anti-posers.
The Cult are a tight punchy Rock Band.
They have hair, though I wouldn't pigeon hole them as a Hair Band.
People that have a limited knowledge of music feel compelled to categorise everything.
For example, anything that was a ' little different or Left of Centre' in the late 70's/ early 80's was classified as NEW WAVE music.
Sometimes and quite often, a Band is just a Band.
In 1972 the VERTIGO RECORD LABEL had the good business sense to sign STATUS QUO to their stable along with BLACK SABBATH, therefore people tried to label QUO as HEAVY METAL.
STATUS QUO were and still are just a bloody great Rock Band. The Band's name is 55 years old now ( 1967 ) and they've lost a few members due to death or music differences.
Matt Sorum has had a cool Drumming career with THE CULT & GUNS n ROSES.
When THE CULT toured AUSTRALIA back in 2013, they played the full ELECTRIC album followed by other Classic Cult songs.
Toward the end of the gig, there was a palpable vibe running thru the crowd, this was because they hadn't played SUN KING yet.
They brought the house down and the crowd exploded when they closed the gig with SUN KING (Baby )
THE CULT are bloody awesome.
I disagree.. The 80s had the most unique and diverse bands.
Don’t think I’m the only one who thought this band was going to be the biggest band in the world. Absolutely love them. Hard rocking, great singer, classic sound but with unique songs. They were kinda hair metal but not; kinda pre-grungy but not. Just hard driving rock n roll. Great song. Great reaction! 🔥🤙
English too I think
They weren't hair metal, they were/are a hard rock/blues rock hybrid. I, too, thought they were destined to become much bigger, but this wound up being their peak. But, what a killer album, and I recall there being a LOT of great rock albums in the 1989/1990 period, before rock started to fade from the mainstream.
Exactly. Looking back in time now you can see them as a transition band.
They were post-AfD hard rock in the Gibson mode vs the super Strats of hair metal.
The Cult was ALWAYS an instant floor-filler at clubs. EVERY genre loved them- goths, club kids, metal-heads, etc.
They’re one of those bands you can only describe as rock. That’s it. This is an all time banger.
They started off as "The Southern Death Cult" as an indie band in the early 80's. Became "Death Cult" and later "The Cult". By the time that Fire Woman came out they were heading to a more rock based band, although they did Led Zep covers and stuff like born to be wild as an indie band. I saw them a few times in the mid 80's, what a band. Still love them today.
All my sisters were so jealous of the lead vocalist's hair. 🤘❤🤘
The Cult was around during Hair Band Era , but chose to remain an "Indy" band only contacting major labels for CD distribution channels
The 2 constants in this band have always been
Billy Duffy - guitarist
Ian Asbury - vocalist .
Over several decades drummers and Bassist have come and gone. Most notably was Matt Sorum who left The Cult to join Guns and Roses
Jamie Stewart, the original Bassist. Can't forget him. His Bass tone playing style were integral to the sound of this band! Fender Jazz Bass!
NOT considered hair bad, just 80's pure Rock Band.
Ian Astbury is the lead singer of THE CULT. Both he and Billy Duffy the lead guitar player are highly underrated performers. They are GOLD STANDARD!!!👑
Ah yes, you’ve finally found The Cult again! This is a great 2nd pick. I was deployed in Honduras in the 90’s with the Army and did a volunteer radio show. The intro to this was the opening for every weekly show I did. Sometimes I let it run for the entire magnificent song.
I was introduced to the Cult in 91 in the duty hut in Kaneohe Bay, HI when I was a young marine.
Soto Cano !
@@jonahpedersen5429 yes I do remember this. I have a lot of their music in a storage as I have Sonic Youth where Ian is on the cover. Hot Damn I'm going to be thinking about him tonight..
@@Rob-eo5ql Yes! In pure numbers, not a lot of people have been there. Glad someone knew it!
@@NOLAgenX I was at Howard, worked the aerial port, 90-93. Soto Cano (PLA) & Tegucigalpa (TGU). Still remember! lol
Ian Astbury....... Great singer, great band.... Love his voice in the tone of the guitar....
The Cult are a huge band in Canada and Europe they’re still together and playing out. Ian Astbery is the singer and Billy Duffy is on guitar. Talk about a match made in heaven they know how to rock! Still one of the best live acts out there. Ian brings the charisma and sexy back to music with that great voice! Billy is the epitome of a guitar great his tone is impeccable and he serves every song so well master of the white falcon guitar! Go see them live it will blow you away!
I should’ve been into this band way more as a kid, given my age. I got to see Ian (Singer from The Cult) front The Doors of the 21st Century, which was the surviving members of The Doors and Ian, who made you feel like it was Jim on stage. All-time banger of a performance.
I love The Cult. They do have a sound that was distinct from other bands in that era, at least in my opinion. If you liked how he sounded in the chorus of this song you should really check out Sweet Soul Sister. You'll love it.
They had that mid-90s sound in the late 80s.....
@@armynurseboy I hadn't thought of it but that's the perfect way to explain their sound.
LOVE REMOVAL MACHINE is another classic by THE CULT but honestly their whole discography is worth a listen. Saw them live a couple of years ago and they still sound incredible after 40 years. And yes, Amber is correct. Their sound was just a bit different (in a good way) from their hair metal contemporaries.
You took the words right out of my mouth, I saw them live a few years ago as well and they sounded phenomenal! Ian still goes crazy with that tambourine and he can definitely still sing. I also suggest Love Removal Machine as a next reaction, y'all won't be disappointed!
This, this all day
I Third This Suggestion. Add in a bunch of their discography to.
My club music!!
No they're not 80's hairband, they started out in the New Wave Era, with She Sells Sanctuary, and progressed into one of the best rock and roll bands !!
And with the aura of Ian Astbury on vocals and stage presence, good Lord!! 👊🏼💪🏼👍🏻🤟
Stunning track !! What a singer and a band that’s so unique too….. love them
Love Removal Machine is a must-listen from The Cult. Even though The Cult came from punk roots, you'll hear elements of AC/DC and Led Zeppelin in this banger.
I even hear Molly Hatchet.....maybe I'm crazy.
@@davidarwood6264 -i hear The Doors
The Cult fused alternative (in their case British Goth) in the late 80's opening the door for 90's grunge and out of hair metal.. Not comparing just saying they Kings X. living Colour , Faith No More opened the record labels minds and many of the 90's bands give them major props. Follow up suggestion
'Edie Ciao Baby" (same album ) 🔥
The Cult is one the best live acts I had the chance to see
I actually just made a very similar comment. I've seen hundreds of bands live. Hands down great experience❤
The Cult's singer is Ian Astbury. You need to react to "Love Removal Machine" next! This song ROCKS!!! 🔥🔥🔥
Sweet soul Sister is a must. A solid rock band.
Definitely my favorite cult song
definitely the first like 8 tracks in a row of this album, hard time skipping any.
Would love to see you guys explore this rabbit hole! Love Removal Machine, The Rain, Wildflower, and Edie-Chao Baby. Singer Ian Astbury also sat in with the surviving members of The Doors, he is one of the very few who could do justice to Jim Morrison.
I didn't know that, but I was absolutely seeing a little Jim Morrison in Ian in this video! Makes perfect sense!
@@mamatay7 There are some videos of him with the Doors on YT
"Love Removal Machine" would be another great song by The Cult. They always cut their own path. Among 80s bands, they were probably the least 80s. Like they were a decade too early. Ian Astury(vocal) and Bully Duffy (guitar) are an amazing 1-2 punch.
LRM is great. Earlier stuff is even better.
The Cult, legendary band and incredibly underrated too; still rocking hard to this day!
Next Cult song you need to check out: Love Removal Machine
If you like The Cult, as I did when I was younger, you should check out The Church. The song Under the Milky Way is amazing! You will both love it 😁
Yes!! I love The Church. Part of the Donnie Darko soundtrack..also Echo and the Bunnymen..Good movie to react to ASAP!!!
Great chill tune.
YES
Yes, and they should do The Call songs
Let The Day Begin
I Still Believe ( great design )
Or Robert Cray song Smokin Gun
U would be surprised on this one.
The Church is an Australian band with deep lyrics and unique subject matter. Most of their songs are classics in their genre
.
The first time I heard this I grinned at “Smokestack Lightnin’”, a nod to blues god and heavy metal godfather Howlin’ Wolf. (Listen to his songs and you’ll understand why many consider Led Zeppelin thieves.)
This was one time I went crazy for a song and had no idea who it was! In those days one couldn’t just play whatever. We had to wait for it to come around on the radio again! Finally, FOUR YEARS LATER, I got it! I had to pull over to make sure I heard the name right. Anyway, saw them live at the Warfield in San Francisco. The small theater venue was acoustically perfect for this band. The sound was so full that it surrounded everything. This song goes with me when I die for sure! Today is my 71st birthday and what a wonderful reaction video to watch! Thank you!
Long ago I heard Danzig - "Mother" on the radio. But didn't hear anything else from him cause most of my music listening was just radio based at that time and some pop cds. Later while driving heard this song "fire woman" but not sure if there was a DJ introduction of the band, don't think so. I had nothing to go by and my memory is garbage but my brain was tieing those two singers similar vocalizations together. But whatever year that was the internet did exist and I ended up taking forever to google the right combination of words to end up finding the cult. Ended up having to remember Danzig then google artists who sound like Danzig after realizing it wasn't him :P.
P.S. had the same issue when heard Chris Isaak on radio with Wicked Game, didnt get any info with it, then thought maybe it was Dwight Yoakam who I heard later singing thousand miles from nowhere. Had to search forever on the internet to find the right person with nothing to go on, ended up at roy orbison. :P I feel your pain. My memory is garbage and often you dont get a DJ introduction to a band name or song name before they dive into a song and then you never hear a song again.
The Cult is an amazing underated band. 💕
Sonic Temple is an incredible album. All of it!
The best part of The Cult is the singer's voice....no wait, it's the wailing guitar..no wait, it's their stage presence...no WAIT..ARRRRRGGH! I can't decide. 🤣🤣🤣
Your reaction was fun. I’ve been a Cult fan for 30+ years, and yes Ian Astbury is the real deal. Also, one simply can’t be more of a rock star than Billy Duffy on guitar.
Now that’s how a lead singer should sing, with passion and emotion!!
Holy Hannah, it's been a long time since you've reacted to this band (in fact, it's been exactly one year and one week)! I grew up listening to The Cult and their amazing lead singer, Ian Astbury. You did "She Sells Sanctuary", IMHO their signature hit, but this is a hell of a banger too. If I had to pick their next best song, it'd be "Edie (Ciao Baby)", which I played so loud it melted my speakers. "Sweet Soul Sister" and "Wild Hearted Son" are also incredible. Thanks for giving them another shot! If I can recommend another band with a similar vibe that I think you would love, it's Sisters of Mercy. Their song "More" is just incredible. And it's long past time you did a Smashing Pumpkins song ("1979" or "Today" are classics.)
I totally agree - go for Edie (Ciao Baby). I too have listened to that track so often and so loudly it not only melted my speakers but also my ear drums and the relationship with my neighbors! It's late night for me but I'm going to listen to it again and melt my headphones! Here's a YT link - ua-cam.com/video/5oRwlSIn918/v-deo.html
I've never heard of Sisters of Mercy but I'll check them out. Thanks for that tip Patrick. I also agree the Rob Squad needs to visit the Smashing Pumpkins!
Yes, I upvote "Edie." I was gonna say that or "Rise."
25 whores in the room next door... love Sisters of Mercy. :-)
Edie (Ciao Baby) has to be one of the strongest melodies of all the thousands I've heard. Very powerful and moving song.
Also 'Rain' a real classic
Aah, I love that you finally got back to The Cult. Ian Astbury is a hell of a frontman. You can't mistake his voice, it's unique. I can't wait for you to delve deeper.
Every time I hear those first chords of this song… instantly brings on happiness. One of my fave all time bands… was fortunate enough to see them live at the Santa Monica Civic back in the day. So 🔥 live as well! ❤
These guys were a weird anomaly for me. And in the best possible way! I can only speak for Chicago and downstate illinois, but their songs were in every club. New Wave clubs country clubs heavy metal clubs punk clubs dance clubs, it didn't matter at some point one of their songs would come on and fill the dance floor, if it wasn't already full. They just seem to cross over anywhere. I still love them, glad you all are into it.
I requested this song. Thank y’all so much for playing it! Y’all Rock!! 🙌🏻👍🏻🤘🏻👊🏻
great choice!!
I LOVE this song. You have to play this song on full blast driving down the freeway 😎
The Cult is soooooo good in concert.. 1989 Arizona.
I got to see The Cult live in Oct 2019. They were doing a 30th anniversary tour of Sonic Temple which is the album this song is from. Basically they played their set as if they were on the Sonic Temple tour and it was awesome. Other great songs from this album, Edie(Ciao baby), Sun King, Sweet Soul Sister. Great songs from other albums, Wildflower, Lil' Devil, Love Removal Machine, Love, Here comes the rain, probably a few more I am forgetting.
Love this!! You can hear the Jim Morrison influence in Astbury's voice. Such a classic cut.
Yes, which is why he fronted the Doors for awhile...the remaining Doors member really loved him. He killed it with their music. He and Billy are still touring and Ian's voice is still amazing.
@@jenniferfoster1692 wow, that is amazing info! I didn't know that!! I'll have to hunt down some of their performances. Thanks
@@charlesallen2306 Yes, there are some good videos of them doing some of their greatest songs..the original members were having a ball and Ian is a natural to fill in for Jim.
Queensrÿche, “silent lucidity”
You’d love it.
That’s a great one. Eyes of stranger and jet city woman are more fun in my opinion though
the absolute BEST performer. Could watch him for hours
This band takes me back to a time that just kicked arse. I was two years from marrying my future ex wife but we had so much fun listening to The Cult. although things did not work out, this band and the memories they were part of…no regrets!
I am sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Happy you guys took my request. Fire Woman expresses the charisma of The Cult and Ian the lead singer/frontman is AWESOME in keeping the tradition of frontman in Rock like Robert Plant......Steven Tyler......Freddie Mercury....struts his stuff across the stage!!! Great in Concert!!!!
One of my favorite groups from my youth! Ian Astbury an absolute loose cannon frontman and Billy Duffy is a guitar god, this band has been very underrated, such an awesome band to see live!!
Ian Astbury fronted the Doors for a short time.
Indeed so underrated! I saw Ian with the Doors. He was fantastic.
These guys are just pure Raw high energy, rock and roll.
You can't help but bang your head and whole body to this song! So glad I lived through the 80's! It was glorious! 🔥
THANK YOU GUYS!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️👌👍...Guys they have different sounds on each of their albums. They are unique and check out their song WILDFLOWER. ♥️♥️🙏 I've been waiting for y'all to do this and THANK YOU TWO SO MUCH. Y'ALL MADE MY DAY....TRULY.♥️♥️♥️🥰...Their considered indie rock. Even back in the 80s.👍. They have a plethora of great songs I mean fire. Like 50 songs. Yeah really.
I saw them live in 1986. One of the best concerts I ever went to.
They are from the 80s, sooo love them, brings back memories,,,,
They got EVERYTHING in this video. There are a ton of call outs to music from the past as well as the moves. Jim Morrison lying on the ground singing angst. Check. The foot movement is a call out to James Brown and Mick Jagger. Lyrics of Smokestacks burning? Howling Wolf. Definitely not a hair band. The Cult carved their own niche and steadily evolved over time. I saw them in the eighties. Guess who opened for them? A unknown, at the time, Guns and Roses. How cool is that. This is the MOST UNDERRATED Band of the that time. They both ahead and behind the curve. If they had cone out in the late sixties or early seventies they would have been a household name. Awesome band.
You guys finally got back to The Cult.
Been my favorite band since 1981 when I heard the opening drum line to the song "SpiritWalker" off the Debut album Dreamtime.
Great choice you guys , check out these gems by The Cult
Brother Wolf Sister Moon
Rain
a cover of Born To Be Wild
Tiger In The Sun
Edie (Ciao Baby)
That's just a few to get you started down that rabbit hole
The Cult had changed their style in the 80's and 90's with each new album, they started out as Goth, Post Punk, Alternative, Hard Rock, Indie and everything in between. They really cannot be classified, definitely NOT Hair Metal 🤘
A band I've loved since the Love album
I don't know what they call themselves, but The Cult is played as frequently as any of the standard bands on the XM radio Hair Metal channel. The channel doesn't have any groups outside the norm (for example, I've never heard Billy Idol on that channel), so fans consider The Cult hair metal.
My favorite song by The Cult. I could watch Ian Astbury sing Fire Woman all day everyday 24/7. The best looking frontman ever, IMHO. And let's not forget that amazing voice. Oh, and the hair. ❤️
Yes they are in fact an 80s hair band!!! My favorite band of all time!!!!
I was late to The Cult rabbit hole. My first experience with them was when VH1 (of all places) did a countdown of the 100 Greatest Hard Rock Songs of All Time, and The Cult's Love Removal Machine made the list. I often listen to the Ozzy's Boneyard satellite channel and The Cult is played on there from time to time. This song and Love Removal Machine convinced me to pick up some of their albums. Great reaction and please more of The Cult!
Oh my goodness is right! I can't believe you guys are reviewing songs by The Cult!!! Wow, they are waaay off the beaten path. They did lots of really good songs in the 1980s and 1990s and beyond. One of my favs if *Here Comes the Rain* - give that one a listen!
The intro to this song always brings a smile to anyone who loves music. When I see someone who has never heard it always has a big smile when it hits.
U guys have some style.
Anybody who can react without stopping the song over and over, that's good, that's quality. ❤
For the record, u did the best songs imhop.
When their early album “Love” came out it had an alternate vibe but then they put the pedal down and released “Electric” later followed by Sonic Temple” which this song is from. “Sun King” from this album is also a banger.
Billy Duffy basically changed from Peter Buck into Jimmy Page over the course of those albums, right in front of our eyes and ears. That dude made huge leaps and bounds in his playing album over album.
I was working in a record store when Sonic Temple dropped and I bought a copy on cassette. After one listen from beginning to end, I immediately knew it was going to be a classic. Fire Woman is a solid track on an album that, in my opinion, doesn't have a single bad track on it.
It’s been a year since they listened to She Sells Sanctuary. They don’t remember how much that tune blew them away. It’s nice to see Amber loosening up and digging the vibes.💪
I just want to say ty for all that you both do I found your channel after my Dad Passed Away last Feb from Pancreatic Cancer , So TYVM for providing me a place to relax and to forget even if it's just for a short time , Thanx again for the smiles keep up the good work .
The next song you HAVE to react to is “Edie (Ciao Baby).” This song is about Edie Sedgwick, a socialite who formed part of the artist Andy Warhol’s Factory scene in New York in the 60s. She was also featured in several of the films he made during that time. However she lived a troubled life that was filled with mental health issues and drug addiction. She died from an overdose in 1971. Ian Astbury, the lead singer, became interested in her while learning about the band the Velvet Underground, who Warhol managed in the late 60s.
Please please please check out this song. Billy Duffy’s guitar work in this song is jaw droppingly good and Ian’s vocals are so on point. You will not be disappointed. I promise! 💜✌🏼
Sharon. Thanks. You nailed it
Poor Edie . . . she couldn't even get in the 27 club . . . she was brought back from the dead and lived to be 28. She was truly a wreck in Ciao Manhattan - that vacant look was a soul about to check out permanently.
Yes...CIAO BABY
saw them in 2019 and they are still amazing live 🤘🏻🤘🏻
My favorite song from The Cult by far.
We can thank super-producer Bob Rock for this album. If I were in a band today, I would be BEGGING him to produce my stuff.
I love the reaction. The Cult is great. You’re right about them being a little different from other Hair Bands. As a couple of people pointed out, they have Punk/ Indie roots. They were Played a lot in the dance club scene as well so yeah, a little different than a typical “Hair Band”. “Love Removal Machine”, “Lil Devil”, & “Peace Dog” are other good choices.
I had forgotten all about them being played at dance clubs! Thanks for the memory.
this is one of the "3 Ian's" of the roots of post-punk/gothic/darkwave, this being Ian Astbury, the other 2 being Ian Curtis of Joy Division & Ian McCulloch of Echo & the Bunnymen. all three being heavily influenced of course by Jim Morrison, the man whom the term "gothic music" was coined to describe his sound. 💯
I graduated from HS in 91, and I never thought of The Cult as a hair band...in my mind, they were in the category as Danzig. Whatever you call their music, I love it.
Wildflower and Edie Ciao Baby are two songs that are always on my internal juke box. I hope you get to check them out sometime.
The most underrated band ever!!
Amber, can we get more Brandi Carlile please…”The Story” (perhaps for this Female Friday) it’s the song that really cemented her and the twins in the music scene. Can’t wait to see them again in two weeks!
I second this.
Would love more Melissa Etheridge, Tori Amos, 10,000 Maniacs, Indigo Girls, Sarah McLachlan,Jewel and Avril Lavigne for Friday or any day
@@elizabethfranco1284 I'd love to hear them do a Tori Amos song. She was a piano prodigy. "Caught a Lite Sneeze" is my favorite, but "Taxi Ride", "God" and "Silent All These Years" are amazing too.
I AM SO HAPPY IM AM NOT YOUR AGE AND LIVED THROUGH THE BEST MUSIC EVER MADE
I just went to see The Cult last month, live in London. They were fantastic. Ian Astbury's voice still great, and he got the crowd up and singing ('Rock n roll shows are not for sitting down'), and picked out an audience member who was paying more attention to eating his Nandos than watching the gig! He was and always has been badass and is a top singer/frontman in rock music. Billy Duffy the guitarist is also still excellent and is very cool. Always been a top band.
There just as good today, they are absolutely slamming live!go see them if you can Sun king is another great track!
I absolutely adore this song. When I first heard it, I thought it was Billy Idol but I quickly learned who The Cult was.
Ian grew up in my hometown of Hamilton, Ontario. In fact he even went to my high school (Glendale). He moved back to England where he was born to continue his musical journey. When I was in college in the early eighties I was in the cafeteria with my high school friend Kathy and her friend also from our high school, Leslie and her boyfriend joined us. Leslie’s boyfriend disappeared and soon Leslie was saying the song playing on the college radio station was her brother that had moved back to England. That song was She Sells Sanctuary.
Ian Astbury - saw The Cult about 7 years ago when they toured with Guns N Roses. STILL one heck of a frontman and STILL sounds phenomenal. Not sure if anyone else mentioned it, but he also sang with The Doors tribute band for some time (with two of the original members of The Doors). Probably one of the most underrated singers from the 80s early 90s.
God, this takes me back. I was listening to this while I was in the Navy back in the ‘80s. What a group.
The Cult has constantly reinvented themselves over their career, from goth/new wave-ish type rock (album "Love") to stripped down, AC/DC type rock (album "Electric") to the version you guys just reacted to which is more of a contemporary hard rock sound. In my opinion, they were great no matter what style their album was. I was fortunate enough to see them play a couple times. Once as the opener for Metallica in 1990 and once at Beale Street Music Festival in Memphis as a headliner. They were great both times, while the energy they exuded in the video is exactly what they bring in their live performances. I will always be a fan of the Cult. They stood out among the crowd in my youth as a band that gave their all. with one of the most talented and energetic singers of all time.
I met Matt Sorum, drummer (who later went with Guns n Roses) At the Allentown fairgrounds in Pennsylvania when the the cult opened for Metallica way back in 1989..It is great to see people of today's generation talk about bands I've loved, thank you this was awesome to watch!! Also the walls are decorated great!
I've seen hundreds of bands live because I worked in the music and bar business for years. The Cult is definitely in my top 5 live performances. They are the ultimate experience.
When this comes on the radio for 30+ years while I'm driving. I start air drumming, air guitar, singing. I can't believe I kept it on the road every time. I 😁🤘
The Cult are AWESOME. See them in concert.
The Cult - "Edie (Ciao baby)" 🔥🔥🤘🤘1 of my absolute faves!
They are from England they are a mid 70s band I saw them in 1989 in Omaha Nebraska they rock next day went and bought that album sonic temple cd
They are the type of band where you pick any album and spin it start to finish. I remember my brother got pulled over for a ticket on the way to high school in '89 and Sonic Temple was in the tape deck blaring. Beautiful ear candy!
A Great group a lot of great tunes. The lead singer, Ian Astbury, was asked by the remaining Doors to sing in the place of Jim Morrison, RIP, and it was great
The Cult's song "Rain" is, like She Sells Sanctuary, is among the most played songs in my playlists.
I've heard one song of the Cult before. Love removal Machine. But this is so awesome... damn, gut to listen to the Cult tonight. Catch up to what I missed.
I love it when people find great music. There's nothing like knowing that what you've found is legendary. Music is a spiritual thing and it shouldn't be a commercialized thing.
Much love to both of you.
