The Cult are an English rock band formed in Bradford, West Yorkshire in 1983.

It’s easy to forget how outrageous Astbury was in the early 80s. Leather pants, flares, big Jim Morrison belt, amazing stage presence. “Open the sky, and let her come down!”
“Love” is one of the most underrated, prog-metal albums of all time.
Its an absolutely fantastic album.
Love is one of the legendary albums of music history.
@@Proton-KB For sure. It’s a genre of one album. No band had ever sounded like that. Their later stuff was fun and campy butnever captured the brilliance of “Love”.
@@brucesyvertsen2147 It’s a unique fusion of goth, metal, New Romantics and pomp rock. A lot of Charlie Burchill in the guitar, but with a harder more proggy edge. Even The Cult were never able to replicate this sound in future albums.
@@Wokko1963 Agreed, I missed this albums sound in their future releases. So much atmosphere to the sound on this album. That being said, I loved Electric and sonic temple, sadly my neighbors didnt, at least at the volume I chose to enjoy them at :-).....
Ian clearly not having a good night that day, but the band's still a solid rock song, what a band and what an underated jewell they were
Normaly, Munich has that effect on people. I have seen people look like that because of the flu though.
Ian had quite a few of those during thier tours 😮
Billy is such an amazing guitarist
Definitely! Billy, plus Geordie from Killing Joke, Husker DU’s Bob Mould, and Wofie from Red Lorry Yellow Lorry. Just a wailing bunch of over the top chord slashers!!! My favorite kind of guitarists…..
Guitarist from another dimension
ermm not so much, but, managed
The Cult do not get the respect they so damn well deserve.
That's part of what makes them so cool. Nothing that everyone likes is really any good.
Not from the media no, but those who love them respect Ian and Billy a lot! Like me for instance 😁❤
That’s because their catalogue up to and including the “Love” album (“Rain” & “Sanctuary”) was great (the “Dreamtime” album especially). After “Love” though they went a bit shit. Well, a lot shit actually.
This was emphasised by how great they were on their recent DeathCult tour where they only played stuff up to “Love”
In my humble opinion of course.
They do from the people that matter, I love how they’ve flown a little under the radar, makes them even better, it’s like our(fans) little secret👌😎
@markwoods6475 I have followed them around but I know fans that literally go around the world to see them. They literally have a Cult following. Since the beginning. If you get it, you get it. Got to meet them, too 😊
They had everything you need to be a great band….a great singer…awesome musicians …and some bad ass songs 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
well, so why they failed?
Well it was a great band. They have had also reunions over the years. Very few people reach the success they had.
Its incredible to think you get to a certain age and realise what you've missed. Never too late though 😊
These guys had such amazing music. Have all their albums. Very tight band
I bought the album Love in 1995. I was sixteen and had little money, and I bought it purely based on the look of the album cover and the name of the band. I couldn't believe what I heard. I was actually in a cult at the time - perhaps paradoxically, the music helped me leave it.
They killed it. Billy Duffy can jam as good as anybody.
I was in Germany at the time of this concert but was likely freezing my ass off in some fighting position in Graf or Hohenfels. Wish I would’ve seen these guys back then, such talented badasses.
Probably The Cult at their peak Love album was superb....great days
I have this 12”. I was a DJ in the 80s and 90s and The Cult was one of the few human drummer bands I could play that a techno-esque crowd would dance to. In fact, Love Removal, Fire Woman, Sanctuary, and this were some of my reliable floor packers.
Rain was extra special because it’s obviously The Cult, but didn’t have huge radio success, so every time I played it was the first time people in my club heard it.
I will admit, though, that my new favorite Ian track is UNKLE’s remix of Burn My Shadow. Ian’s voice is just dripping with goodness.
god we needed this in the grim 80s
Fuckin A Right we did
I chatted to Ian and Billy at Leeds Warehouse club around this time. They were so tight, came off dance floor with t shirt ripped off. Amazing band, Southern Death Cult then Death Cult then The Cult.
I just saw the Death Cult
Fantastic song of Gr8 Band so underrated. Ian is amazing vocalist and Billys guitar only makes goosebumps. 🤘🤘🤘
Ah... Nostalgia... Nostalgia...
I remember hearing The Cult the previous year with the "Love" album and I was totally blown away...Back then I was submerged in the New Wave of British Heavy Metal and I even had my own band but The Cult was something fascinating and different although it was still guitar-driven powerful rock...
I like all 3 Cult songs that have that bass line
Jamie Stewart is an underground hero. Ask Duff McKagan & Kyle Kyle from Bang Tango. Huge influence, stylish, solid, true musician.
I LOVE THIS BAND
One of the best Cult tunes
Love it 🤘🏻
Top The Cult song. Great find.
Questi si che erano i gruppi...oggi solo piattume
Never gets old🥰
Im a Heavy metal guy. I like electric and sonic temple, but I wish they’d stayed like this. Love is a great album from beginning to end. It’s one of the few albums that I have on 3 different formats
Check out their album Electric / Peace. It (Peace) is a lot of the songs from Electric but with Love’s goth sound. Rick Rubin later changed the songs to sound more like the standard rock that Electric was released as. Another good set to listen to is called “The Manor Sessions”. I think you can even find them here on YT. Definitely worth a listen.
I’m exactly the same as you. I’m a huge Prog metal fan, but the “Love” album is a singularity. No album has ever sounded like it. I liked their later stuff for being over the top and campy, but for me “Love” is like “Regatta de Blanc”. A genre with only one album.
@@steveclark5206 thanks
@@Wokko1963 I’m a big Tool and rush fan… I liked them as southern death cult too.
Wasn't "Heavy Metal" a derogatory term for music heard by journalist?
And Hard Rock Blues the words given to most journalists by the bands themselves but ignored by enough for the insult to stick?
RARE, VALUABLE, IT WILL NEVER BE LIKE THIS AGAIN
I saw the Cult in 2016 open up for GNR in L.A., and they still rocked hard. 😮
Thanks a lot Sir from Italy ✋🇮🇹
Epic!! Thanks so much for continuing to post content like this: it’s like a unique look into the past!
Great song, great band!! Thanks STV!!
Thank you so much for sharing this gem.
Music does sound like this anymore...especially what a live performance can bring
Not heard this for ages... cool riff... takes me back to 6th year art class at school :3
Great band saw them live in 2008. Loved it
Brilliant band. I saw them live in Vancouver in the early 90’s
Uma das melhores bandas do mundo 😍
Legends
Superb live perfomance.
'Demons 2' brought me here.
oh yeah, saw this tour. still love the tone on the guitar. sweet oh sweet.
Ian missing some of the words actually makes this an interesting version. In terms of looks Ian is at his peak here (as is Billy). Music really has gone backwards since those great days.
Agree on all counts.
Excellent ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
che tempi over 80❤👍
Always makes it interesting with word selection, still great version and song!!🎉🎉
Amazing
Love
They were/are a great band.
Thank you for this.
Ian &Billy forever 🥰❣💋Hello from Serbia💗💓💞💕❤💥💫💔
yikes great version thank you love the what are they rim shots? something like that great ❤
Epic album even greater band
Saw them at Cardiff Uni in ?85 ...the moshpit left me with bruises in places that I didn't even know existed😂😂😂Fantastic band, live.
Ditto, Leicester De Montfort Hall in '86 a bit after this performance, only my second ever gig and unmatched experience to this day
I love this frickin tune 🎉🎉🎉🎉
I thank my friend for being die-hard in the 80s Cult. I dig it.
It's one of the best bands in the world
Sick
Brilliant
I think it's the UK indie feel and sound with Astbury's mid Atlantic rock vocal that makes The Cult unique and interesting.
Interesting observation
Saw Ian singing for the Doors ❤
ME too!!
And me!
I remember them on tv in England on the old grey whistle test they performed
“Resurrection Joe”. Not so heavy metal in those days but I was fascinated and liked them from the start.
So so good
Chills!!!!!
cool, thanks for sharing
Wow this is great!!
My beautiful darling Ian! 😍 His voice had definitely matured by this stage. This would be 1986 S'teevee, if I am correct? He will always always be my No. 1! ❤😍💗
My all time favourite band no one else comes close here comes the rain ☔
Amo quest'uomo. Grande voce ,grande presenza scenica. Bravi tutti,ma Ian è stratosferico.
Superb band and BD is one of my all time fav guitarists.
Nice, audio is surprisingly good.
What a great entry from "Rain"
Absolutely superb
Thanks for watching and commenting
What a great band they are. Thanks for posting this superb raritie
Used to have this whole concert on VHS 📼
I saw these guys opening for Billy Idol right around this time. Most of the people where there to see these guys instead of Idol just like when I saw Metallica opening for Ozzy around the same time as this most people where there to see Metallica and not Ozzy.
Great times, thanks for this excellent share. Rain is still one of the best.
aw what to say ? pure perfection :)
awesome!!
Masterpiece incredible
Thanks for watching and commenting, I'm glad you found and enjoyed this video
Even when Ian is tired, the songs find their own individuality, lol
What a great sound. Powerful.
Even at this almost 40 yo live performance they sound amazing!
Thanks for watching and commenting 🙂
Love them ❤ CFFC 🤘🏻🔥!!
Thanks, man. 👍
Glad you enjoyed this
2023-2024 the cult has surrounded my life since finding them
Beautifil poetalplain❤
It was either this or Hollow Man, that topped Love, which topped em all.
The badass Gretsch Falcon in all its glory!
TRES Cool
I have songs from all their albums from Love. They managed to consistently write good music.
It's as if Michael Hutchence and Brian Setzer went Goth over some pounding beats... those vocals, the moves and that Gretsch style guitar !
Les Warner rocking the drums
🤘👍🤘
Оооо, какие они молодые! ❤ Йен Эстберри и Билли Даффи! Какие красавцы! ❤😊 И таланты! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Excellent group sorely much underrated… and I include myself as this my period but I guess I was too absorbed with Wham!, Depeche Mode, Ultravox, A-ha 🤦🏻♂️…. She Sells Sanctuary is one of my all time favourite tracks now. Thank heavens we all “grow up eventually”…. Love all music genre now…. 👍
Essa banda foi pouco divulgado no Brasil, prá mim está entre as melhores e maiores bandas do planeta
Oloco! Maiores do planeta... Calma ai
Grazie per il video 😅
Great band
What's so funny is this is such a favorite of the fans (especially the girls, considering the subject matter) but Ian hates this song even though he wrote it & i think you can see that in his face a bit, here. Maybe that's why it's changed up a bit live, to make it tolerable for him to perform! But it is a really hot & sexy sound & i'm happy they still perform it to this day.
Fire woman, you're to blame...
Great song!
Saw the cult in Pittsburgh 1986..same tour. Poor ticket sales. Me and 500 others in the basement of a ballroom. Later they were paired up with Lenny Kravitz! Best show!
Man this brings back good memories! I was at this show as a kid at Thunderbird Arena Vancouver
fire woman before fire woman.
It goes without saying everyone needs to join an, Cult.
