Man, must be terrifying knowing that at one point you’ll lose it all, forget who you are, live a confused existence before eventual death… Sorry to get so morbid. Just a thought most can’t comprehend. I’m glad you’re making the most of all the time you have left. But you are right about one thing: the music never leaves you. So make a playlist, compile some CDs, have all your favorite music with you for the long haul. It’s your best companion to guide you through the minefield that is dementia. Good luck and I hope the rest of your life is as happy as it can be.
¡Yes! ¡As madcritter, the guy with the other answer, says make a playlist now and tell your wife, children or whoever to play it for you in the future! ¡You won't need memory, only feelings, to enjoy it! 😃😄😁😉😉
Dude, how ironic. I'm 62, home recovering from Cerebral angiogram, finding out out I have a "bullet in my head" so to speak. Today I had an urge to hear this song and find this. SAME
I first saw The Cult in 1985 just a couple of weeks before they released She Sells Sanctuary. I was 16 or 17. Now I'm 50... and I'm still listening to these mofos :)
I was 12 in a target store they had the mtv video for fire woman. From then on i loved this band. Pure rock and great originality without any fluff. Just rock and roll. And i love red heads. Lol
These guys opened for Metallica at an outdoor concert, in NH back in the day. To a crowd of about 2000...I was second row, center...8 feet from the stage. What a great day
Interestingly, here in Brazil, "The Cult" has always been a very popular and admired band, since the beginning. I wouldn't say that it was underestimated here, quite the opposite in fact.
@@billyfoster3223 Lol..yea all three of em....That is now my favourite comment..( ppl who know nothing about music, that's all they got to use....most underrated....well no matter....KEEP PLAYING IT LOUD!!!!!!
I've seen the Cult five times and in every decade. They were always on the edge of being massive, but just never seemed to outdo their less-talented peers.
Yeah but you got to remember back then there was a lot of competition. Not to mention there may have been some political things going on in the background. It's always about politics and who you know in the big business world. Maybe the people that were handling the cult were not as Savvy in negotiating the high-powered world of Music records and Publishing.
My dad said this band was a one hit wonder with "Fire Woman." I then played this song on Rock Band and was like "are you sure?" 8 years later he has become obsessed with them. Most under rated band ever
They were appreciated by people that knew good music. I think there was a lot of infighting and I'm sure drugs were involved. Ian Astbury can be mercurial and that's putting it mildly. Albums like Love, Electric, and Sonic Temple were awesome. I saw them in 2002-3 maybe? When the Album Somewhere between good and Evil was out. Been awhile. It was good but I'm not sure if they've released anything lately
@@bumblebee5337 that is funny. I like everything that's cool, from The Cult to Megadeth to Genesis to Rick James to The Beatles to Queensryche to The Red Hot Chili Peppers, on and on.
53 and I can still rock my skin tight Levi's. Got all of my hair and covid started right about haircut time. so about 4 years with no haircut and I'm suddenly once again a hairball rocking it.
The Cult’s Electric album was cranked up daily in my car in ‘87 when I was in high school. I remember a girl recommended it to me. I was blown away. Their videos did not get much play on MTV at that time. It wasn’t until they released Sonic Temple a few years later that MTV started hyping them up and playing them. The Cult should have been bigger.
Millions of people out there, including me, feel the exact same way you do. No other rock and roll band in the world can match the vibe the cult puts out. It's as simple as that. They were rock and roll Magic. And they were the desperately needed lifeline during a time when rock and roll was on life support.
KICKASS rock and roll, the likes of which we had not heard since Zep. Plus, on this track in particular, THE best rock vocal performance (post-Zep) EVER (ahhh Ian, baby baby baby BABY!!!), remains unmatched to this day. Billy's probably the most underrated rock guitarist of all time. Oh...and they could play it all LIVE. The story-telling ethereal tracks on Sonic Temple, so brilliantly produced, are mind-blowing on headphones....aw, gonna go hear some more now!
One of the best bands, one the best songs, ever. Absolutely love this. I was lucky enough to see them in Boston before Covid. They did not disappoint. Unbelievable music. Birthday gift from my 31 year old son, LOL.
If it has to be rated, this has to be rated #1 rock song of all time. Criterias: 1. Needs to rock 2. Needs to rock harder 3. Needs to be raw and authentic 4. Will make anybody move 5. Will make any body to produce an overdose of testosterone. Listening to this song even Ana De Armas will start growing a beard.
They were an X band. and that was kinda of small slice of prog-rock dance music when they cam out, and never caught on big, except amoung the old rockers who heard it. Kinda had to be near Houston.
I've always said they were the all-around best and coolest rock band between the mid-to-late eighties, but I'm starting to think they may be just the coolest band in rock and roll history ever.
The best Rock and Roll is just three chords (give or take), proven right here. Killer band. Still sounds as good as the first time I heard it. Never get tired of their sound.
I love Rob Schnieder on Drums , Keanu Reeves on Bass, Billy Idol on Guitar , and Glen Danzig vocals long before they all Made it Big on there own. Who da thunk the deuce Bigalow could bang the skins like this , awesome job guys.
@@Zooeybabe thin theywere doing what the kids refer to as a "joke" based on these people bearing passing resemblences to those mentiond, though Astbury only sounds a bit like Danzig and looks very little like him
A club called Visage in Orlando, played goth and stuff! Whenever they played The Cult, everyone would start shouting and running to the dance floor. Those days were some of the best!
@@squash2097 Some goth bands i recommend are Bauhaus, Christian Death, Clan of Xymox, Siouxsie and The Banshees, The Sisters of Mercy, Dead Can Dance, Mephisto Walz, The Frozen Autumn, The Mission, Lebanon Hannover, The Cure, Alien Sex Fiend, Killing Joke, Specimen, She Past Away, Motorama and The Cult's first two albums and their material of Death Cult and Southern Death Cult.
It's 1991, and I'm in Honolulu to accept an award for being at the absolute top of my game, business wise. I picked up my 5 liter Mustang convertible rental at the airport, because I was told the island has a freeway. I merge onto said freeway, hammer the throttle down, top down, and this song cracks through the radio. Volume goes up! Life is good! The next sign says "freeway ends 1/4 mile..." Couldn't let me just have this song!
This is the era that the Cult found themselves. They figured out who they were. And they went on to give us some of the greatest songs in rock history. I’m fortunate enough to have seen them live a few times. Ian always gave 110%. Even when he performed in Tempe AZ with a bad cold in ‘95, he gave extra. Thanks Cult.

The most underrated band in the rock history. Ian Astbury one of the best singers, undoubtely.
I agree
That Duffy dude ain't bad either. 🤣
You are so right. Ian is the best singer I have ever heard!!
He used too much vibrato, to me. But the Cult had some classic 80s post punk tunes.
I never appreciated them as i should of in the 80's. I do now.
I had a $1200 stereo system in a $400 car to hear this song better in 1987.
me too!
That's awesome!😂
Lol,..Awesome \m/
Preach!!!!! Me too - new top of the line Soundstream system!
WORTH IT! 🤘🏼🤣
This song was released in 1987, 33 yrs ago and it’s still kicking ass. Love the Cult!

If you don't rate The Cult as a totally great 80's rock band then you deserve a slap!
The Cult didn’t get the recognition the deserved in the 80’s, but now, years later, people are getting how great they were.
No doubt!

I always loved them ❤

I don't understand how The Cult is not a Hall of Fame's band 🤔 !
I'm 65 and love this group like a maniac, always listen their songs in my car on full loudness
Ian Astbury’s voice is just epic!!
Logan Gabriel Ian is heaps better looking than Michael 😃💜🇦🇺
Not really
Both fugly
Love his vocals on Unkle's "Burn My Shadow" Intense!
Ian Astbury's voice is incredibly powerful! Their rendition of 'Born To Be Wild' was probably better, with due respect, than the original!!

When mum was angry at dad and I. He would sing "look out here she comes, look out here she comes" He loves The Cult til this day.
As good as they were... They should have been huge... They had all the elements. looks, sound & chemistry there!
I've seen the Cult five times and in every decade. They were always on the edge of being massive, but just never seemed to outdo their less-talented peers.
very inconsistent live performances and lack of creative spark when it came to the actual musical arrangement held them back in that era
They are fine. I don't know what happened.
Yeah but you got to remember back then there was a lot of competition. Not to mention there may have been some political things going on in the background. It's always about politics and who you know in the big business world. Maybe the people that were handling the cult were not as Savvy in negotiating the high-powered world of Music records and Publishing.
But they had Ian with his attitudes and lyrics

My dad said this band was a one hit wonder with "Fire Woman." I then played this song on Rock Band and was like "are you sure?" 8 years later he has become obsessed with them. Most under rated band ever
This band had several well-known songs besides Fire Woman. Your dad must not have been paying attention to the music scene back then.
Under rated in your family... that's about it
Love Removal Machine was on the Radio Constantly on Long Island!!Late 1980s
She sell the santuary

This is a piece of history. The influence of The Cult is underrated.

Billy Duffy is a goddamned magician. Not only is he an epic guitarist, he can effortlessly change his guitar color from black to white to black again.
Gay Rambo, lol
And Ian can change in and out of his leather jacket when ever the camera isn’t pointed at him.
He must have had lessons. Probably beyond Mel Bay Book 7.
They don't even care that's how hard they rock.
No, it's because Ian is a God. Not the God, but a god.

Some bands are so powerful and banging, they are a part of that file of music no one wants to compete with. The Cult is one of those bands.
One of my favorite ROCK bands of all time. Saw them in '87 and Ian scared all of us in the audience. Force and Freak of Nature! Such a good band 🙏
And pretty sure they inspired The Lost Boys (great flick).
First time I heard The Cult I was recovering from surgery. Loved them ever since
This never gets old, quintessential hard rock! The CULT rocks for ever on!
