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

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 😊
“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 :-).....
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
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!”
These guys had such amazing music. Have all their albums. Very tight band
god we needed this in the grim 80s
Fuckin A Right we did
Its incredible to think you get to a certain age and realise what you've missed. Never too late though 😊
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.
I like all 3 Cult songs that have that bass line
Probably The Cult at their peak Love album was superb....great days
Everything about this video, including the moving mass of bodies in the audience, is awesome. Munich 1986 must have been a trip.
RARE, VALUABLE, IT WILL NEVER BE LIKE THIS AGAIN
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.
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.
Questi si che erano i gruppi...oggi solo piattume
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
Ganhei esse álbum por “engano” quando foi lançado. Tinha 12 anos na época. Ouvia o dia inteiro. Mudou meu gosto musical pro resto da vida
Fantastic song of Gr8 Band so underrated. Ian is amazing vocalist and Billys guitar only makes goosebumps. 🤘🤘🤘
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?
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.
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 😮
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...
One of the best Cult tunes
Love it 🤘🏻
I LOVE THIS BAND
Never gets old🥰
che tempi over 80❤👍
Top The Cult song. Great find.
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.
I saw the Cult in 2016 open up for GNR in L.A., and they still rocked hard. 😮
Music does sound like this anymore...especially what a live performance can bring
Superb live perfomance.
'Demons 2' brought me here.
Uma das melhores bandas do mundo 😍
The badass Gretsch Falcon in all its glory!
Not heard this for ages... cool riff... takes me back to 6th year art class at school :3
Epic!! Thanks so much for continuing to post content like this: it’s like a unique look into the past!
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
Great song, great band!! Thanks STV!!
They killed it. Billy Duffy can jam as good as anybody.
Thanks a lot Sir from Italy ✋🇮🇹
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.
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
Ian &Billy forever 🥰❣💋Hello from Serbia💗💓💞💕❤💥💫💔
Great band saw them live in 2008. Loved it
Brilliant band. I saw them live in Vancouver in the early 90’s
oh yeah, saw this tour. still love the tone on the guitar. sweet oh sweet.
It's one of the best bands in the world
Jamie Stewart is an underground hero. Ask Duff McKagan & Kyle Kyle from Bang Tango. Huge influence, stylish, solid, true musician.
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.
awesome rim shots thank you overall awesome thank you
Thank you so much for sharing this gem.
Always makes it interesting with word selection, still great version and song!!🎉🎉
Nice, audio is surprisingly good.
I love this frickin tune 🎉🎉🎉🎉
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! ❤😍💗
Love
I thank my friend for being die-hard in the 80s Cult. I dig it.
They were/are a great band.
Thank you for this.
Excellent ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Even when Ian is tired, the songs find their own individuality, lol
Amo quest'uomo. Grande voce ,grande presenza scenica. Bravi tutti,ma Ian è stratosferico.
Epic album even greater band
Sick
Best group and song it help me get though the lonely 80s you made me feel good thankyou
My all time favourite band no one else comes close here comes the rain ☔
Even at this almost 40 yo live performance they sound amazing!
Thanks for watching and commenting 🙂
Brilliant
What a great entry from "Rain"
Оооо, какие они молодые! ❤ Йен Эстберри и Билли Даффи! Какие красавцы! ❤😊 И таланты! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Legends
I have songs from all their albums from Love. They managed to consistently write good music.
Superb band and BD is one of my all time fav guitarists.
Chills!!!!!
aw what to say ? pure perfection :)
2023-2024 the cult has surrounded my life since finding them
Beautifil poetalplain❤
Love them ❤ CFFC 🤘🏻🔥!!
Grazie per il video 😅
So so good
Wow this is great!!
Essa banda foi pouco divulgado no Brasil, prá mim está entre as melhores e maiores bandas do planeta
Oloco! Maiores do planeta... Calma ai
Great times, thanks for this excellent share. Rain is still one of the best.
What a great band they are. Thanks for posting this superb raritie
🤘👍🤘
Amazing
The Cult e Queen,Brasil❤❤❤
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…. 👍
TRES Cool
It was either this or Hollow Man, that topped Love, which topped em all.
Used to have this whole concert on VHS 📼
Les Warner rocking the drums
What a great sound. Powerful.
Absolutely superb
Thanks for watching and commenting
It's as if Michael Hutchence and Brian Setzer went Goth over some pounding beats... those vocals, the moves and that Gretsch style guitar !
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.
Masterpiece incredible
Thanks for watching and commenting, I'm glad you found and enjoyed this video
Thanks, man. 👍
Glad you enjoyed this
Fire woman, you're to blame...
Great song!
awesome!!
It goes without saying everyone needs to join an, Cult.
Gosto deles, só quando vi ao vivo foram uma desilusão, mas continuo a gostar
