I love him!!! I play his song all the time and can not believe I am now just knowing him, I was so busy raising kids and other tunes on the monster stereo. i absolutely love him!!! He is my age maybe a bit older, big huge respect when a fan was happy to see him. know he loves us we love him. total rock on!!! xoxoxoxoxox!!!!!
This was played at my wedding in 1987 Every man and his dog was up dancing! Sadly my lovely darling wife Teresa passed away in 2009. This will always remind me of what a great day that was. Forever missed, forever loved!
My dad passed away yesterday and now I'm making a playlist with all the songs he loved and I remember him by. This is one of them. Thank you dad for showing me the greatest artists of all times. Loved, missed and never forgotten 🤘🔥❤🙏
Right behind you at 65....LOVE this song and video....made me so happy when a younger co-worker said today that she and her son were jamming out to this song a few days ago!
when i met my husband at a night club back in 85, we first danced to this song. it's our 34th anniversary today, and Sanctuary sounds as fresh as it did back then.!
I was 37. My girlfriend 18. She gave me the cassette on which you find this song back in 85... I would have love to start a family with her. But contrary to my wishes she told her dad my age... He disagreed of us being together from the start. A very frustrated teacher... Who had never gone out of his region. That messed her up...Learned that she had a few kids from different men. I hope she found peace. I never forgot her... Bye Marielle!
I remember my dad blasting this on his bang and olufsen 5500 sound system, then in his L200 pick up. He passed away when I was 11 back in 2014. I’m 21 this year and play this every so often to keep living his memories❤️
It's a great Dad's song.... one of my favourites and hopefully will pass it on to my son like your dad did to you.. very sad for you and feel your loss chin up and keep cherishing them memories
It's one hell of a song. I was just being born when this song came out. It definitely is one of those songs you wish there was an ∞ setting on the volume dial =) We need a rebirth of rock in the next decade-a neo-rock and roll that pays homage to this remarkable genre. Truly talented musicians wrote epics like these, like Led Zeppelin's Stairway to Heaven or Pink Floyd & countless other towering talents back when music had a soul and heart like no other. =) God I want our triumphalism of the of the days before y2k back. It seemed like the world was becoming a bitchin place where we could do anything and _we could sell sanctuary_
Dude, There is a plethora of a-fricken-mazing music made outside the States. New Zealand, Australian, English, European, even Canadian. Once you go beyond commercial radio, The quality and quantity is astounding. Happy listening Bruv.
This was my son Matthew's favorite song from this band. I will always blast this song as loud as possible! My son committed suicide. If you are struggling with anything, PLEASE PLEASE talk to someone! I miss and love you so much son!
What I’ve always loved about The Cult was they bridged rock, punk, goth rock, and elements new wave, being arguably one of the earliest alternative rock band. Really brilliant and a true classic in the truest sense of the word
This is one of the great "postmodern" moments: all these signs of pop music history getting mixed and matched, stirred in the blender. Jim Morrison fronting Boney M with a touch of Ozzy not fearing the reaper, and a sneaky side of the Cure.
Yes, Agree great way to put it! This song just gets better as time goes! I can never get tired of it, it just puts me in another frame of mind! I remember when it came out and the video was on MTV all the time!
Every generation thinks they grew up with the best music, however we who grew up in the 80s really were spoilt with some of the very best bands and songs ever
How the fuck is a kid listening to this in 2024 any different from your wrinkled ass? You had to grow up with radio and MTV, this generation has every generation's music just a click away, at any time, forever. You really expect them to be jealous of you? For that reason alone? Fucking boomers bro...
A 15 year old kid goes to his first concert. Billy Idol and the Cult. I SAW that shit...I HEARD that shit..I still remember to this day being mooned by Ian Astbury. Absolutely K_A to this day.
This song will forever remind me of my Uncle Patrick who just passed away. As he used to say " it's illegal to hear this song and not crank the volume to the max". RIP Uncle Pat......you will be missed.
This was my buddies favourite band, he passed away before we finished High School, every time I hear them I crank it up to 11 and smile. I also smile when I look in the mirror at my crooked nose that he gave me.
Ur almost my father's age and he wouldn't know this music if it fell on his head!!! Bless you man! I'm not a kid by any means at 53 but u give me inspiration man!! Love that
Well I am certainly too old. It's so difficult to find any continuity. Perhaps that's what people want these days. But there are many, many songs that make this one not worth a second listen to.
Absolutely fantastic ,I’m nearly 75 and so glad I can enjoy the brilliant sounds of The Cult,I missed them in the 80’s ,too busy,such a shame I can’t dance to them now due to my joints !
Love your expression. I wasn’t born yet. But my mom played them when I was a kid in the 90’s. In our minds and hearts we all dance together to this great art. And you look great Eli 🎶🎶🎶💃🏼🕺🏾💃🏼🕺🏾💃🏼🕺🏾💃🏼🎶🎶🎶
You are an inspiration Elizabeth Gibson! Loved this song and band the first time I heard them in the eighties..55 now and still dig them as hard! Great to know I would be loving the old acts even when am 75 and more! ;) Mebbe love them even more!
Absolutely BRILLIANT. Perfect vocals, great guitar tones, nice bass, great crisp drums. A very very well written, mixed, and performed songs! Well done!!!
I'm am old grandma lady who now lives in Missouri, but native of San Diego. My little sister turned me onto this song back in the day and I fell in love, hard. The other day I drove up to an intersection here in Jeff City, blasting this from my speakers. Some old dude (older than me 😉) pulls up and gives me a nod and a thumbs up. I guess it's true, old rockers never die, only our shells age.💀
It's even more fun to memorize his moves and get some cardio time in, which at 67 lasts about 30 seconds max for me, all out of breath and laughing with each little kick!
I saw these guys live in 1986 at the Orpheum in Boston. 4th row. The entire place goes dark and then you hear Billy Duffy play those opening cords. A spot streams down. We all go insane. BEST. CONCERT. EVER. (Really)
37 years ago I was 28 years old and hooning about on a Wes Cooley replica Yoshimura Suzuki GS 1000. no cameras, open race pipe and all the yuppies I could piss off as I made lots of noise riding up to Chelsea Bridge on a friday evening!
@@tonymerritt7141 Wow never knew that! Big Country was in full swing at this time! The original drummer Nigel Preston was fired after release! Brzezicki must have filled in for the video!
From what I remember, Mark Brezecki played drums for them on the Love album, but She Sells Sanctuary, which he is in the video for, is one song he didn't play the drums on the album. Still Amazing after nearly 40 years - I had it on cassette mid 80's.
Wasn't a massive hit at the time but it will be part of their pension plan forever down their generations. I got the album "Love" when this came out. Well worth a look.
How lucky was I to enjoy the 80’s during my 20’s ..... amazing music and clothes. Hardly any money and no mobile phones but so much creativity and self-expression. ✨✨✨
The Cult's 'She Sells Sanctuary' is a timeless classic that perfectly blends hard rock with a haunting, anthemic quality. Its driving guitar riff, powerful vocals, and energetic rhythm create an unforgettable atmosphere, making it one of the band's most iconic tracks. The song’s raw intensity and emotional depth continue to captivate listeners, proving its enduring appeal.
This song never gets old. The year it came out I was halfway through high school. This is an example of how good the music was in the 1980’s was. Great times back then.
Born in 1972, lives through the 80s and listen to music all the time, and imagine, discover this gem this summer at the age of 50 years old. Can´t understand how I could miss this song. Been played loud every day since this summer, and will continue to do so!
I remember packing up my kit ready to leave for a weeks training with the Army and I had this pumping out on my cassette player I managed to pass my training and had a great career with the Army I’m old now and I walk past people each day with all my memories What a great tune , and great memories 👌 I get goosebumps every time I hear this 👊
@Mike Morris The lead singer 🎶 of The Cult singing this iconic song as well as Firewoman. Ian fronted The Doors several years ago (closet to Jim Morrison they could get) ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
I'm 63 and I am wondering how the hell I missed this during the 80's. What a decade! So much to enjoy...punk, funk, Goth, disco, ska et al. This must have passed me by but it gets a regular listen now via youtube. Brilliant!!
the radio stations stopped playing anything other than Led Zeppelin. Because all the radio stations played it so much, I can't stand the sound of them. When I got radio streaming, I listened to rock music for nearly 3 days of music I'd never heard. At least in the NYC and Philly area. Including this one." Time to get the Led out ", I wish it was to get it out of the radio..
Bartholemew E daí se eu quiser repetir o nome da música? Até onde eu saiba, eu tenho livre arbítrio. E além disso, “ todo mundo “ não significa “ todo o mundo”. Muita gente não sabe nem de qual canção estou me referindo e pensando bem, nem quero que saiba mesmo.

just a ukin banger from austrailia but uk from the 60,s 70,s till late 80,s the best music around..
She Sells Sanctuary is the finest rock song ever written. Change my mind.
It’s a very well done song. I put it up there with Subdivisions by Rush.
Stairway to heaven, smoke on the water, sympathy for the 😈, etc.
Ace Of Spades
I would say that this and "How Soon Is Now" are the 2 best songs of the 80s.

Not only am I enamored with this song, I'm mesmerized by his moves when this video kicks off.
Yeah he's pretty fly isn't he
Same here..!!
It's even more fun to memorize his moves and get some cardio time in, which at 67 lasts about 30 seconds max for me, all out of breath and laughing with each little kick!
Ian is the Bomb 💣😅
Totally! One of the best parts of the video!! ❤❤❤
I'm a 90s teenager, but the 80s are an enormous part of the soundtrack of my life.
Welcome back.
There will never be an era of music greater than that of the 80's. The Cult still gives me chills when I hear this song, so many memories.
Same here, never e er gets old.
Cocaine was real back then😅
Damn still ROCKS
@@mattyburrows9059 yes it was. Before the street dealers learned about cutting it.
Absolutely 💯 💯
I saw these guys live in 1986 at the Orpheum in Boston. 4th row. The entire place goes dark and then you hear Billy Duffy play those opening cords. A spot streams down. We all go insane. BEST. CONCERT. EVER. (Really)
You are SOOOO lucky! Totally jealous
What a cool name for a venue.
My mate at works uncle is Billy Duffy!👍
I saw them about the same year in south florida
was an Amazing live concert
@@rob-robi Right? That dramatic spot in a totally dark theatre. Incredible.
I bought this album when came out . 37 years ago , where did time go .
Same here.
Away...
Damn im only 19 i hope time doesnt fly any faster
I remember watching this on mtv
37 years ago I was 28 years old and hooning about on a Wes Cooley replica Yoshimura Suzuki GS 1000. no cameras, open race pipe and all the yuppies I could piss off as I made lots of noise riding up to Chelsea Bridge on a friday evening!
Frig ya. I’m 60. This has been a favourite for a long time. Saw them in the eighties
After all these years I still get goosebumps. Truly is a masterpiece.
ABSOLUTELY EPIC... PERFECTION
Esta bateria de guitarras!! 👊🏼👊🏼
You sound unhinged
I just heard this song an I'm having an eargasm amazing this just aligned with my soul
There’s no denying, this guy has a tremendous ,powerful voice and this song is a true classic.
Astbury is one of the most underrated frontmen as well. Truly the physical embodiment of the music on the stage.
yes
The voice and thunder of drums .
Homeboy really love his bass.
One of the best rock songs ever, you can't get enough of the riffs.
The drums are insane.
Ian is at his utmost in this song.
Did you know that is Mark Brzezicki, drummer for Big Country?
@@tonymerritt7141 Wow never knew that! Big Country was in full swing at this time! The original drummer Nigel Preston was fired after release! Brzezicki must have filled in for the video!
drummer is in the pocket 100%
From what I remember, Mark Brezecki played drums for them on the Love album, but She Sells Sanctuary, which he is in the video for, is one song he didn't play the drums on the album. Still Amazing after nearly 40 years - I had it on cassette mid 80's.
Yes yes....one of the fews that reminds me Jim Morrison....great Ian great the band ❤
My best friend passed away in 2005. This was his favorite song. Miss you, Mag. RIP
Seriously. One of the greatest songs ever written!
*THE SPARKLE IN YOUR EYES KEEPS ME ALIVE*
Great poetry.
soooo amazing!!!
Fuckin A right
'Keeps me alive'
the fire in your eyes keeps me alive
An absolute masterpiece never fails to get the dopamine flowing
I've watched a lot of music videos since 1987 (MTV) and this remains the best of them all in my mind. It's a masterpiece.
One of the greatest songs, ever!
One of the best bands, ever
Way underated.
51 and still loving it like I did when I was 18. We had the best music.
46, and I can honestly say that the 80's were the best.
52, and there will never be another era like we had!
52 in April, bro.
Eric_SRQ 52 - Some of the best music came from this era. And this is still one of my favorites. Close your eyes and remember 🤘
I am 51 too! And I am still loving it!! 🤟
I am now 64 and this is STILL brilliant :)
Old enough to know not to comment on youtube, it's full pubescent ego.
Ageisonlyanumbermyfriendmemoriesaretimeless.
Stephen300o, ironic.....
WITH YOU BROTHER
Hey rock on man!
TURN IT UP!!! This song is 35 years old and it will always rock. I was blown away by it in ‘85 and I’m still blown away! 😁🥰🎸
Me to some great days listening to this in the 80s been young and having a good time never get tired of listening to the classics
Never to old
a staple in a lot of tv 📺 commercials!
Its make me feel good! 😀
Wasn't a massive hit at the time but it will be part of their pension plan forever down their generations. I got the album "Love" when this came out. Well worth a look.
67 now & absolutely love this track. So many memories.. Bravo!
I'm now 58 and still love this song...played at full blast....only way to listen to it...😁
Needs to be remastered
William Arno I've got the CD lol
I am 61 and this is going on my new and revised "household chores" playlist along with INXS etc!
I know how you fell. 63 going on 29...............
David Rae
Lolz me too
One of the most underrated bands of all time.
You got that right!!
I know it’s crazy
not in their time....the were big!
I know rihjt totally said that for years!!!
I agree!
How lucky was I to enjoy the 80’s during my 20’s ..... amazing music and clothes. Hardly any money and no mobile phones but so much creativity and self-expression. ✨✨✨
Caz Ford I totally concur with your statement...Jamming this tune while partying at Lake Havasu during the 80s.
Yes!
I was running a bar on a Canadian armed force base in Germany Cfb Baden three quarter of the audience hate it my DJ Danny I loved it
I agree 100%!!! Loved growing up in the 80's......my kids have no idea what a great time it was!!!!!!
sums up our lives perfectly
The Cult's 'She Sells Sanctuary' is a timeless classic that perfectly blends hard rock with a haunting, anthemic quality. Its driving guitar riff, powerful vocals, and energetic rhythm create an unforgettable atmosphere, making it one of the band's most iconic tracks. The song’s raw intensity and emotional depth continue to captivate listeners, proving its enduring appeal.
This song never gets old. The year it came out I was halfway through high school. This is an example of how good the music was in the 1980’s was. Great times back then.
In my opinion, one of the greatest rock songs EVER.
Agreed!
Easily
The opening guitar riff....come on!
@@winritzert3310 Still sends a shiver down my spine when I hear that. A classic, all of it. But especially the opening riff :D
Amen
One of the most underated frontman...what a great band
Ray Manzarek and Robbie Krieger thought Mr. Astbury was okay enuff to front "The Doors of the Twenty-first Century" - Jon Densmore, not so much
Axl stole his style?
@@davecrowley4859yes
Hard to believe I was 9 years old when that song came out!It is STILL a killer rock song.
A hugely underrated rock band, they made some great songs such as this classic.
Who hasn't given them a rate?
@@DaveTaste I really hate the cliché, trite, stupid word underrated. Always some clown professing it, looking like a trite dbag
Born in 1972, lives through the 80s and listen to music all the time, and imagine, discover this gem this summer at the age of 50 years old. Can´t understand how I could miss this song. Been played loud every day since this summer, and will continue to do so!
I’m 50 and got to see them live for the 1st time last September 🤘🤘🤘
At least you found it.
when played with massive speakers it's awesome, fantastic to wreck around the floor
1975 & discovered it last year, it's become a favourite of mine & my 13 yr old daughter 🤘
I loved all this alt music born in 76. I only caught this song playing old school GTA. Was either in the San Andreas or Vice city soundtrack I think.
This song MUST be played at full volume, - it's the law!!
YEP
Melanie Portal hell ya!!!
Is your comment about cancer supposed to be funny?
Melanie Portal So True but must b followed by Love Removal Machine leave volume as it is Have a good day
law
I remember packing up my kit ready to leave for a weeks training with the Army and I had this pumping out on my cassette player
I managed to pass my training and had a great career with the Army
I’m old now and I walk past people each day with all my memories
What a great tune , and great memories 👌
I get goosebumps every time I hear this 👊
I am 53 and still love the 80's --- Best music came out of the 80's -- Real Groups playing
I was born in 2002 and songs like this are hidden gems for me.
Check out Peter Murphy. Was the singer in Bauhaus but his solo stuff was... different....
Welcome to the L4YER CAKE son
Check the the mission or sisters of mercy
The 80s and 90s will have a lot of gems for you. Look at what they make nowadays, it is nothing special.
Enjoy being young, it disappears in a heartbeat!
Ian's got that solid footwork. Quite arguably my favorite Cult song.
Defo my fav Cult track.
It goes this then Mick in the Start Me Up clip as far as superbly stylish body movements go. Michael Jackson could never.
Ian Ashbury, One of the only dudes on the planet that can pull off a flamboyant vampire pirate look.
Fucking right!😂😂😂
Ian Astbury. Adam Ant could have pulled it off back in the day.
Adam Ant
@Mike Morris
The lead singer 🎶 of The Cult singing this iconic song as well as Firewoman. Ian fronted The Doors several years ago (closet to Jim Morrison they could get) ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Lmao! 😅
63 here....Ian Astbury never received his due as an 80's frontman. He had it all!
Plain and simple. The Cult ROCKS!!
Reminds me of all the girls I "DREDGED" w
hen I was a young jedi. I loved ALL OF THEM!
What an energy in this song !!
I love the rhythm of this song and Ian's spectacular voice. how unforgettable the 80s were, you have to listen to it with the volume turned up.
Makes me want to cruise the beach with the windows down ❤
at Eleven
YAAS‼️👍😎
And he looks like and does a mean Jim Morrison too! Love Ian!
He has inspired so many later rockers with those amazing moves of his and his do
The 80's were fucking awesome. I offer this track as irrefutable proof.
Well Hell yes, didn't the music from the '80s seem a lot better than today?
@@anthonymares5079 yes indeed.
@@anthonymares5079 undeniably better bro
Was fucking great man…from 1980 all the way through 89 (well 85-88 a bit less lol)
@@anthonymares5079 dah. Lol: was there. Was absolutely great
I had the chance to see them yesterday with my dad for the first time in Montréal. Core memory !!!
“The world drags me down.” Does it ever.
This music will last for eternity! Who agrees? 😁
Agree!!
Damn right, this will be an anthem for ever, so says me and I'm a relic.born in 1958
yes offcourse !! , I love it since I discovered this song in the 80s.
!!! TOTALMENTE DE ACUERDO!!! Este tema hace bailar hasta los extraterrestres...!!!
YO tambien soy del 58... UNA LEYENDA...
I'm 63 and I am wondering how the hell I missed this during the 80's. What a decade! So much to enjoy...punk, funk, Goth, disco, ska et al. This must have passed me by but it gets a regular listen now via youtube. Brilliant!!
I am 62 (gasp). not much radio play, but I was still a club goer. heavy play in the San Francisco in the good places.
You've found it now. That's all that matters!
End house, end techno...
Tu habites où G.B 🙄😏👉💪💪💪💪💪🇫🇷🇬🇧😋
the radio stations stopped playing anything other than Led Zeppelin. Because all the radio stations played it so much, I can't stand the sound of them. When I got radio streaming, I listened to rock music for nearly 3 days of music I'd never heard. At least in the NYC and Philly area. Including this one." Time to get the Led out ", I wish it was to get it out of the radio..
Perfect… …. Keeps me alive … I’m 63 … Thankful I lived when I did..
“She Sells Sanctuary” by Cult is one of the best song i have ever heard
Eu também concordo. É uma das melhores canções de todos os tempos já ouvidas!
You dont have to repeat the name of the song i think everyone knows what song you are talking about
Bartholemew E daí se eu quiser repetir o nome da música? Até onde eu saiba, eu tenho livre arbítrio. E além disso, “ todo mundo “ não significa “ todo o mundo”. Muita gente não sabe nem de qual canção estou me referindo e pensando bem, nem quero que saiba mesmo.
Add "Fire Woman" to that.
Totally agree
"And the world and the world and the world drags me down." You got that right....
Brothers in arms my friend, brothers in arms.🤙
I hear that,!
I'm 32 and just discovering the cult. What a gift ❤❤❤❤
You are a gift .
Very underrated band!
Electric is the perfect rock album...beginning to end. Period.
The Cult is a hidden Gem for sure. The 1980s had so much great music. I was so lucky to have grown up during that time.
The Cult is a hidden Gem for sure.
I have just discovered this band. I love it!
Saw the cult in the 80’s one of the most underrated concerts ever. They sound amazing live.
Can't remember who opened for who Billy Idol or The Cult. Didn't really matter it was a fuckin great show!
Who didn't rate it?
Had the privilege of seeing them at the royal oke music theater and the fox in Detroit. Amazing.
I saw in 1995 in Manchester when I was at uni. I found myself right next the speaker at the left of the stage & my hearing's never been right since...
@@kathleenjames4136 your lucky it wasn't motorhead U be deaf now, 6 of us seen em in the 80s at a club, we were up the back, it was that loud our ears were ringing, we had to leave half way through the set lol
Feel that energy? Not many artists generate this kind of groove anymore. The Cult is one of a kind.
Yeah , awesome song awesome band the cult !👍
Yes sir that is getting it on
Awesome sound,great front man.
yes they created a very special energy in this song, dancing to it is the only thing you can do.
I don't always listen to the Cult, but when I do, SO DO THE NEIGHBORS....
Muzzbustr
Bonus dude
Bwhaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Righteous!
I read this as I’m blasting this song through the whole house lol
You've won., Best comment of the day..
Those heads that turn (looking in the window trying to hear it better).
