A crazy white dude broke up in your house demanding aluminum foil (probably for a hat) I'm calling the cops! The Cult song Sweet Soul Sister is a must hear!
The Cult is one of the most underrated Bands that came out in the mid-80's. The singer has one of the best soulful voices, while the bands blues like Rock blend beautifully. Their singer's voice and stage presence is so good, the Doors asked to be their vocalists when they reunited and started touring. His voice blended perfectly with the Doors. Sweet Soul Sister, Soul Asylum, Edie, If, New York City, She Sells Sanctuary. Their music is awesome
Who rates The Cult under? They rock now, they rocked then. The only time they didn't rock was that 1st album. That was an abomination. Rubin helped them a lot.
eva byrum...I had multiple pregnancies listening to this song and watching their videos 🤣😏...Always do! Ever since the 80'S...So I got like 5 million babies now! 😂😎🤘😏
Something about their singer, Ian Astbury has always reminded me of Jim Morrison. I'm not sure what it is. Maybe just the intensity of the personality, or his stage presence.
He kinda... well not kinda... He absolutely encouraged the comparison. From the leather to the belt to the rolling around on stage, dude wanted to be Jim.
The Cult started out as a Goth act in the early 80s and were initially called Southern Death Cult. Alternative CLASSICS "She Sells Sanctuary" and "Love Removal Machine" from the mid-80s still bear their hallmark Goth sound but with a bit more of a Rock approach. This was their biggest hit in the US, but the UK mostly remembers them as pirate-shirt-wearing Goth weirdos. By the time this track came out, they had clearly started to adopt influence from Heavy Metal - Guns n' Roses, especially. Goth and Metal were strange bedfellows for most of the 80s, but this hit (along with offerings form Nine Inch Nails and Ministry) helped merge those worlds so that by the time Marilyn Manson came along, the template for Goth-influenced Metal was well-established. If you like their Rock stuff, the follow-up single "Edie (Ciao Baby)" was their second-biggest US hit and was more of a ballad, but still a scorcher. It was written about Andy Warhol's legendary muse, Edie Sedgwick. Fun Fact: People often comment that frontman Ian Astbury looks and sounds a lot like Jim Morrison, the legendary singer from The Doors who died in the early 70s. Well, about 15-20 years ago, he was asked by the remaining members of The Doors to tour and record with them as Morrison's stand-in. How cool it that? I mean, it was kinda lame from a fan's perspective. By the time it happened, both bands were well past their prime. But imagine how cool it would have been for Ian Astbury to be asked by his heroes to fill in for another long-lost hero. From his perspective, it was probably a real career peak.
The Cult weren’t Southern Death Cult, that was Astburys first band. He left them and poached Billy Duffy from Theatre of Hate and together with Jamie Stewart and Ray Mondo formed Death Cult, then they dropped Death as it was too goth and became The Cult.
I thought they were called the Death's Head Cult. I thought that was in extremely poor taste, using a symbol that the Nazis employed. That's why I never listened to them.
This song grabs me and unrelentingly tosses me back to 1990 and spring of 10th grade year! I thought I was so miserable back then, however, I was just learning to drive and was a great time in my life! I can remember the smell of the wind coming into the window when I first started driving by myself! I'll take that memory to the grave! I
Yay the Cult again! Ian Astburys voice is a combination of leather and lipstick- I think he's got the best voice in rock - God bless you for doing this reaction - and he was a big fan of Jim Morrison but I think he's much better❤
Music has had up and downs, so one time things faded a little and I found their "Electric" cassette, and they were up fast on my list. Probably with Faith No More at the time, before grunge...
This was my favorite song. I played this nonstop in my room, my mom even started jamming to it lmfao. I'd still like to know who the "fire woman" was that made him go all crazy in this video like that. She must've was a very smoking hot lady
The Cult were a great band love their music so happy to see your reacting to more of them. this song was the first song I heard from the cult and made me a fan. This is my favorite song from them
This is one of my most favorite songs in my band's playlist. As you can see from my pic, I'm the drummer. But what you don't know is that I sing all the backing vocals including the, "FIRE!!" coming out of the bridge into the drum solo. This song always gets a huge response from the crowd!! 😍🤘🏼🔥😍🤘🏼🔥
Seen them 4 times and will continue as long as they play. Still great a band. I love them so much I got their wolf design from a CD cover tattooed on back of my neck. Wolf child...🐺💙
As a massive fan of The Cult I'm thrilled that out of all the bands out there you're covering them. Fire Woman is The Cult at their commercial peak it's far from their best. Also dont look too much into the lyrics, theres a ton of "yayah!" And "baby, baby baby" that probably dont need any further scrutiny!
So if they utilize more than ‘A’, ‘C’, & ‘G’ power chords you’re just not having it? No lyrical depth? Have you heard of ‘Howlin Wolf’ or Tennessee Williams? That’s what he’s talking about - Delta Blues and Southern phrasing. Kind of bold I’d say. The musicianship gets better with every album, so do the lyrics, and frankly so do their appearance. It’s ok to like Southern Death Cult and Sonic Temple and Hidden City and so on - I certainly do. But when you say ‘Far from their best’ you clearly can’t be talking about their ability as musicians - because one album could be reproduced by 12 year olds in a garage with 2 weeks of lessons and the other is a multi-layered complex mixture of sounds with much more coherent lyrics. They grew, you don’t like that they strayed from the sound you liked and that’s fine but don’t compare the relative merit of the compositions because it’s not even close.
Jimi Lemons maybe he thought Love was their peak rather than Electric, as you’re suggesting. I was a huge fan and went to see them live on the Electric and Sonic Temple tours, but I think they lost something after Electric, despite the musicianship. I actually prefer the first draft of Electric, Peace, over Sonic Temple as I think Temple only had a few great songs on it. Soldier Blue, Edie, Fire Woman and maybe Automatic Blues. Ceremony was even worse BUT I do think Wild Hearted Son and Heart Of Soul are great songs, if they’d been on Sonic Temple it would’ve been a much better album. As for kids in a garage being able to replicate Electric, dream on, it worked because it was great musicians playing on it and an awesome front man.
punkoid76 I was actually referring to those who think ‘Electric’ was an acceptable departure from ‘Love’ and I hate to break it to you but anyone whose played guitar for six weeks can play ANY lick on Electric - period, end of story. As it relates to the ‘Manor sessions’ which were the original mixes of ‘Electric’, we can agree to disagree, in my view (and I own every one of the three discs that comprise them) they are self-indulgent drivel. The band knew it too and that’s why they let Rick Rubin strip it down to a Gretsch, a Gibson, a bass and a Marshall Amp. My point remains that Love is a great album but it does not have the complexity or lyrical depth of ‘Sonic Temple’. The lyrics are largely abstract and ethereal which sets a great mood but doesn’t tackle much. So don’t blame the Cult for getting better as musicians and songwriters. ‘Love’ is even easier to play than ‘Electric’. ‘Ceremony’ is garbage from beginning to end and both Ian and Billy are on record as it being misguided. Their Eponymous follow up to that was outstanding. As it relates to the songs on Sonic Temple ‘Medicine Train’ should have been a single, New York City has the best riff on the album, and ‘Soul Asylum’ borrows from Kashmir but has a raw intensity. So we will have to agree to disagree as I listen to all three albums - Love, Electric, and Sonic Temple but only the latter do I play with no skips.
Jimi Lemons I’ve been in bands and was actually a recording artist in the 1990s, I agree the riffs on Electric are simplistic, but the playing of them by Duffy isn’t, it’s a guitar thing whereby it’s easy to imitate stuff but difficult to get it right, it’s all in the touch and feel of the player and getting to the level of the Cult on Electric takes some time, on top of that you have Astbury, very hard to replicate. I do agree that the stuff on Love is easy to play, but again hard to get right. I preferred the manor sessions/peace stuff to Sonic Temple as I think Temple is an attempt at doing what they were doing on the Manor Sessions, but they couldn’t release all those songs again so wrote new ones, with mixed results. I stand by my comments, I even listed to Sonic Temple all the way through yesterday and my opinion hasn’t really changed, a few great songs and some ponderous stuff that isn’t as good. Medicine Train wasn’t on the vinyl I bought in 89, but I agree its one of the better songs from that period. Ceremony was the end for me, like I said two good songs, in fact I still like those two better than most of Sonic Temple.
punkoid76 I respect your take, I’d recommend you give everything after Ceremony a listen - they went in some really different directions and Billy Duffy is about 1000 times better than he was in the old days. I love Electric and Live but as a guy who is a 30 year guitar player and someone who has both recorded, produced, and played live I’ll have to agree to disagree on the ‘feel’ required to play on either album, even Billy doesn’t think that. Peace to you though, music is not meant to affect everyone the same.
This is the first time I have ever seen your stream, totally enjoyed watching your reaction to the cult. I really like people that enjoy all types of music, I have so many songs I would like to see your reaction too, I got one for ya try twilight zone, by Golden Earing... P.S. it's really cool what your doing!!!
Thanks for being the one who finally pulled the trigger on The Cult! Now that you got likes and views, the rest will follow! Do “Sweet Soul Sister” please!
Yes, try some more DM! Try "I Feel You" and you'll see just how widely their sound can vary. Totally different character from "People Are People", your previous Depeche reaction vid.
I've had a couple of fire women but i was a ball of fire at the time ha ha .Im little more chilled now but it was nice . If u had one u know what he means
Just like the album before it ("Electric"), this album is killer from beginning to ending. LOVE The Cult. "Wake Up Time For Freedom", "Sun King", and "Sweet Soul Sister" are killer tracks. I recommend going back to Electric and also doing "Aphrodisiac Jacket", "Lil' Devil", and "Peace Dog".
India, Seeing how you have enjoyed the Cult, I'm thinking it's time you tried some Sisters of Mercy. Plenty of songs to choose from, but for a top-notch song AND video, you should check out "Dominion/Mother Russia". Both are truly epic (Lord only knows what they spent on the video...)
Total package with his voice and looks. I rarely cared about a rock stars looks because I just loved the music. Then this video was played on MTV. I'm old now and it still gives me chills. haha.
Hi I’m 48 and grew up listening to the cult . They were my favorite band for over a decade . Definitely underrated Your review/ reaction was great to watch and listen too ! Your little comments were funny and not overdone Nice job
Smokestack Lightning is a 1957 song about longing and desire. It captures the essence of yearning for someone or something that seems just out of reach. The “smokestack lightning” metaphorically represents a force that is both captivating and elusive, much like the object of the narrator’s desire.
I remember when "Fire Woman" debuted on MTV back in 1989. I thought that The Cult were going to be a MAJOR Rock group, because lead singer Ian Astbury sounded like the "second coming" of Jim Morrison. Strangely, that did not turn out to be the case.
I love these reactions. When people of different cultural backgrounds discover music from different cultural backgrounds. Same as when I opened my perspectives with Bob Marley, NWA, King Sunny Ade, and Kraftwerk. Yes, I am an old fart.
A crazy white dude broke up in your house demanding aluminum foil (probably for a hat) I'm calling the cops! The Cult song Sweet Soul Sister is a must hear!
HAHAHAHA MY BF , YOU ARE SOOOO FUNNY!!!!
Lol 🤔 for some reason the ladies really seem to enjoy this video
I wonder why🔥 🤣
Shit yes! My fav from them!
And ya have to admit he looks so much hotter in this vid than She Sells Sanctuary 🥰
@@OhMyGoshIndia Lucky dude! (as long as you got that foil.)
His energy is sexy as hell. He's also a long haired brunette. Brunettes are my kryptonite. This is my favorite from them. Love The Cult.
I don't always listen to The Cult, but when I do, so do the neighbors.
True!!! I hear ya! 😜
Gunslinger 256...WHERE IS THE LIE?!....
THE LIE HAS LEFT THE BUILDING! 😎🤘😎🤘😎
Lol me too
Amen! Cause when I'm in the mood to listen to "fire woman" , that means I'm in a mood and everyone around me is going to be as well!!! Lol!!
This is one of my favorite comments ever for sure lol. It's completely true as well
**BREAKING NEWS**
Someone on youtube is actually reacting to The Cult. Well done!
There really aren't many songs that need skipping in their whole catalog. This band is just kick ass.
This album was put out 31 years ago, and still kicks ass!!!
You have to listen to Sun King by the cult.
Ow yeahhh
Wild Flower kicks ass.
Let's swing the clock back to '80s.
The whole album is banging. Bought it the day it came out on cassette listened on full blast in the car.
The Cult is one of the most underrated Bands that came out in the mid-80's.
The singer has one of the best soulful voices, while the bands blues like Rock blend beautifully.
Their singer's voice and stage presence is so good, the Doors asked to be their vocalists when they reunited and started touring. His voice blended perfectly with the Doors.
Sweet Soul Sister, Soul Asylum, Edie, If, New York City, She Sells Sanctuary. Their music is awesome
They certainly are underated 👍👍👍
Ian Astbury..
Who rates The Cult under? They rock now, they rocked then. The only time they didn't rock was that 1st album. That was an abomination. Rubin helped them a lot.
I watched this video about a year ago and a woman in the comment section said " Ok I'm pregnant now. " LOL!!!
😂😂😂
eva byrum...I had multiple pregnancies listening to this song and watching their videos 🤣😏...Always do! Ever since the 80'S...So I got like 5 million babies now! 😂😎🤘😏
-Belue- it’s completely understandable lol!!!
Hahahaha
The Cult’s best song ever, IMO. Another classic.
Best metal song by them. Not their best song at all though.
Man, that 12 inch release of Rain is pretty perfect :D
Something about their singer, Ian Astbury has always reminded me of Jim Morrison. I'm not sure what it is. Maybe just the intensity of the personality, or his stage presence.
He sang for The Doors for a while as well.
He kinda... well not kinda... He absolutely encouraged the comparison. From the leather to the belt to the rolling around on stage, dude wanted to be Jim.
Ian was seemingly heavily inspired by Morrison at this stage so it's not surprising.
YES! Totally agree!
I used to have such a crush on Ian..mmmhmmm...the whole band is pretty tasty to be honest ;)
If there was such a thing as a Brit Indian Shaman it would be Ian Astbury. I love the Cult!
David B...That's perfect! 😎👌 👏 😎

M. Roy Clark...That's why The Cult and Southern Death Cult is on my Peter Murrphy (Bauhaus) Goth music playlist on Pandora. 🤘💀😎
The Cult weren’t Southern Death Cult, that was Astburys first band. He left them and poached Billy Duffy from Theatre of Hate and together with Jamie Stewart and Ray Mondo formed Death Cult, then they dropped Death as it was too goth and became The Cult.
Great comments. I'm still a sucker for the 12 inch release of Rain. Your mileage may vary lol.

“That guitar NASTY” -India Reacts 2020
Loved your reaction to this one❤️
Great live band. I saw these guys when they had a show supporting this ablum. Billy Duffy is one of the most underated guitarist of modern times.
How did they do this live with only one guitarist? It absolutely requires two...
Yay the Cult again! Ian Astburys voice is a combination of leather and lipstick- I think he's got the best voice in rock - God bless you for doing this reaction - and he was a big fan of Jim Morrison but I think he's much better❤
Love leather and lipstick! So true.
Ian is a force to be rekond with.
You need to hear Wild Flower by the Cult, or She Sells Sanctuary.
Electric
Sadly, I'm not even my wife's favorite guitarist. It's Billy Duffy.
India likes him too! I could tell.
The Cult is very underrated. Awesome band.
Fire Woman has always been one of my favorite songs since it was first released in 1989. Loved your reactions and comments!
Good choice "sweet soul sister" from this album was another big radio hit and great song.
Probably my favourite group, On of their best songs! Your best reaction. You are so good :-)
LOVE the Johnny Cash shirt, love the family interruption, and your awesome new intro !
Music has had up and downs, so one time things faded a little and I found their "Electric" cassette, and they were up fast on my list. Probably with Faith No More at the time, before grunge...
Sweet Soul Sister is a must!
One of my favorites, seen them live four times.
I've seen them live at least 10 times, and the last show in my home town was one of the best (I normally have to travel to London to see them)
I envy y'all lucky bastards... I live in BFE Arkansas so... not a lot of the great rock band's have concerts anywhere close to me usually... LoL.
Why does hearing The Cult always make me want to get up and dance on a table???
okay so I've just found my new favourite reaction channel! 😊 lucky enough to have seen them live twice and boy do they rock! 😍😎
This was my favorite song. I played this nonstop in my room, my mom even started jamming to it lmfao. I'd still like to know who the "fire woman" was that made him go all crazy in this video like that. She must've was a very smoking hot lady
The Cult were a great band love their music so happy to see your reacting to more of them. this song was the first song I heard from the cult and made me a fan. This is my favorite song from them
Were.? ....still are!
You just witnessed the coolest hair in the business.
Oh my gosh--I have seen alot of your videos and all the 100 different facial expressions is funny but hey that means you jamming I reckon
Loved that reaction to that song .
Yes, the Cult was totally my favorite back years ago. This was so sentimental. Glad to see you review them! Great song to pick off the "Love" album.
Wildflower, Peace Dog, Love Removal Machine
KLB3 lil’ devil
Wildflower is my favorite!
This entire album is awesome. One of my favorites. Even own it on vinyl.
Reaction to the Cult "Subscribed!!!!"
Oh I love your reactions to this one! Just jamming along. This is one of my favorite songs🙌🙌🙌
This one got you a moving and grooving! FIRE!!! NASTY GUITAR!!!
Loved your reaction to these guys. You'd go crazy fun at one of their concerts. When there on radio, it's a must turn up !
thank you for doing the Cult, I love, love them!
This is one of my most favorite songs in my band's playlist. As you can see from my pic, I'm the drummer. But what you don't know is that I sing all the backing vocals including the, "FIRE!!" coming out of the bridge into the drum solo. This song always gets a huge response from the crowd!! 😍🤘🏼🔥😍🤘🏼🔥
Seen them 4 times and will continue as long as they play. Still great a band. I love them so much I got their wolf design from a CD cover tattooed on back of my neck. Wolf child...🐺💙
That guitar nasty~ 🤣 I am CRYING. Genius!!!!!!!!!!!!
India, I so enjoy watching you react to these oldies... !
THANK YOU
As a massive fan of The Cult I'm thrilled that out of all the bands out there you're covering them. Fire Woman is The Cult at their commercial peak it's far from their best. Also dont look too much into the lyrics, theres a ton of "yayah!" And "baby, baby baby" that probably dont need any further scrutiny!
So if they utilize more than ‘A’, ‘C’, & ‘G’ power chords you’re just not having it? No lyrical depth? Have you heard of ‘Howlin Wolf’ or Tennessee Williams? That’s what he’s talking about - Delta Blues and Southern phrasing. Kind of bold I’d say. The musicianship gets better with every album, so do the lyrics, and frankly so do their appearance. It’s ok to like Southern Death Cult and Sonic Temple and Hidden City and so on - I certainly do. But when you say ‘Far from their best’ you clearly can’t be talking about their ability as musicians - because one album could be reproduced by 12 year olds in a garage with 2 weeks of lessons and the other is a multi-layered complex mixture of sounds with much more coherent lyrics. They grew, you don’t like that they strayed from the sound you liked and that’s fine but don’t compare the relative merit of the compositions because it’s not even close.

punkoid76 I was actually referring to those who think ‘Electric’ was an acceptable departure from ‘Love’ and I hate to break it to you but anyone whose played guitar for six weeks can play ANY lick on Electric - period, end of story. As it relates to the ‘Manor sessions’ which were the original mixes of ‘Electric’, we can agree to disagree, in my view (and I own every one of the three discs that comprise them) they are self-indulgent drivel. The band knew it too and that’s why they let Rick Rubin strip it down to a Gretsch, a Gibson, a bass and a Marshall Amp. My point remains that Love is a great album but it does not have the complexity or lyrical depth of ‘Sonic Temple’. The lyrics are largely abstract and ethereal which sets a great mood but doesn’t tackle much. So don’t blame the Cult for getting better as musicians and songwriters. ‘Love’ is even easier to play than ‘Electric’. ‘Ceremony’ is garbage from beginning to end and both Ian and Billy are on record as it being misguided.

Yes! I have been sending you the Cult requests and links for months! I love you for this!
My man! Thanks!
This is the first time I have ever seen your stream, totally enjoyed watching your reaction to the cult. I really like people that enjoy all types of music, I have so many songs I would like to see your reaction too, I got one for ya try twilight zone, by Golden Earing... P.S. it's really cool what your doing!!!
I love this song, great energy. You'd also probably like their song Edie, it's about the model Edie Sedgwick. The vocals are powerful.
India, love your fun and joyful reaction to this video! I always find myself dancing to this song! Keep up the great work you do!!
Thanks for being the one who finally pulled the trigger on The Cult! Now that you got likes and views, the rest will follow! Do “Sweet Soul Sister” please!
Live ish clips over the album track. I really like their rock style, and Ian's voice.
Been a fan of The Cult since they came on the scene. Awesome song
Now I feel old.
Great band, great song, in my top 3 by them. The entire Sonic Temple album is fantastic.
My favorite song by the CULT
Love this! See Depeche mode and get all their fans to watch ya!😀
Depeche Mode has not exploded on the reaction channels but it's just A question of time....
Yeah...personal jesus would be a good one to start with.
Yes, try some more DM! Try "I Feel You" and you'll see just how widely their sound can vary. Totally different character from "People Are People", your previous Depeche reaction vid.
It's No Good and Precious
Mr Billy Duffy on that 6 string Hun.
The Cult reaction! OMG!!
THX, THX, THX
Greetz from Germany
Another great is "Love removal machine"
One of the best frontmen since Jim Morrison. The dude was a star.
Is!
I love these types of videos where people react to videos that I loved when I was in high school decades ago. :)
Cult album sonic temple is one of the best rock album in the 80s
XXXACTLY what the doctor ordered! One of my all time favorites.
PS
Thank you
me 2
I've had a couple of fire women but i was a ball of fire at the time ha ha .Im little more chilled now but it was nice . If u had one u know what he means
I love you’re reaction to this song!!!💃
Yeeeessssss!! The Cult is the BOMB 💯🔥🔥
Loving seeing you enjoy reacting to The Cult my favourite band ever try Rain by them you won’t be disappointed 😍
Whole Love album muah!
One of so Many Great Tunes. Cant go wrong with any of them. Just Awesome Band!
Remember them opening for Metallica back in the day..
I went to that show. Red rocks Colorado.
They (The Cult) have been my fav band for the last 30+yrs or so. Love love love these dudes
The band and song most played on air guitar in bars by drunk guys in the 80's.
Yeah, there was no shortage of that.
Just like the album before it ("Electric"), this album is killer from beginning to ending. LOVE The Cult. "Wake Up Time For Freedom", "Sun King", and "Sweet Soul Sister" are killer tracks. I recommend going back to Electric and also doing "Aphrodisiac Jacket", "Lil' Devil", and "Peace Dog".
India,
Seeing how you have enjoyed the Cult, I'm thinking it's time you tried some Sisters of Mercy. Plenty of songs to choose from, but for a top-notch song AND video, you should check out "Dominion/Mother Russia". Both are truly epic (Lord only knows what they spent on the video...)
I saw the Cult live in Birmingham, UK back in the day, and they were amazing! just love his voice
Like the new intro! This used to be a a favourite on my train journeys around the UK to the various festivals and shows back in the day.
The lead singer makes me moist!!! Finally got to see the cult live 2 yrs ago. Fucking awesome. First crush since grade 7
Love this song! 👍👍✌✌😊😊
I love the rising tempo in the beginning!!! This song is wicked!!!❤🤟
he looks like a younger jim Morrison from the doors
Man Ian Astbury dressed like that with that black wide brimmed hat with a skull on it...he looks like a witch lol (or Warlock).
This band is great, always loved them! Nothing but BANGERS!!!!
Welcome to the cult you may continue to rock on. Lol
Total package with his voice and looks. I rarely cared about a rock stars looks because I just loved the music. Then this video was played on MTV. I'm old now and it still gives me chills. haha.
Twisting like a cat on a hot tin shack. Lawd have mercy!
I’ve got another one by The Cult that a lot may not know. “Painted on my heart” trust me. You’ll love it
Try their earlier hits from the Dreamtime album like Spirit walker, Go West, A flower in the desert, Gods Zoo, etc...
Love your reaction you look like you are a lot of fun to be around.....keep them coming.
The first time I saw them was in 1990... and have seen them many times since. It's always a kick-ass show.
Hi
I’m 48 and grew up listening to the cult . They were my favorite band for over a decade . Definitely underrated
Your review/ reaction was great to watch and listen too ! Your little comments were funny and not overdone
Nice job
Smokestack Lightning is a 1957 song about longing and desire. It captures the essence of yearning for someone or something that seems just out of reach. The “smokestack lightning” metaphorically represents a force that is both captivating and elusive, much like the object of the narrator’s desire.
Nice to see this rediscovered after over 30 years since release. I was there then!
Saw them live in Portugal 12 years ago and was top top top Go The Cult
The cult was most underrated band . Very talented , 2o years later being recognized , awesome
Yes! This is what all reaction videos should be!
I remember when "Fire Woman" debuted on MTV back in 1989. I thought that The Cult were going to be a MAJOR Rock group, because lead singer Ian Astbury sounded like the "second coming" of Jim Morrison. Strangely, that did not turn out to be the case.
Thanks for playing the Cult. Now check out the Clash
I love these reactions. When people of different cultural backgrounds discover music from different cultural backgrounds. Same as when I opened my perspectives with Bob Marley, NWA, King Sunny Ade, and Kraftwerk. Yes, I am an old fart.
"Bob Marley, NWA, King Sunny Ade, and Kraftwerk" Great list of artists.
Love Removal Machine
Remember when Their first song debuted on MTV. It was "Love Removal Machine." That was back when MTV was actually Music Television.
You brought a smile to my face Sister!
You can't NOT dance to this song!!!! Still love this album 31 years later.
I can
