Whan Ian was a kid his dad was in the RAF and was posted to an American airbase in the US. Ian attended a US school and was bullied by some of the students as he was the outsider. The kids from the First Nations community did not bully him and he struck up friendships with them. This gave him an appreciation and interest in their culture which can be seen in the way he styled himself, heard in the music and indeed seen in some of the dance moves!

They are still making great albulms every few years. If this is your first time listening to them, you owe to your self to back track every album before this one to the beginning when they were called Southern Death Cult.

This one hit hard, as a teenager I went to see the Aerosmith Pump tour and The Cult opened for them. My buddy and I enjoyed Aerosmith, but we came away life-long Cult fans, couldn't stop talking about how amazing they are. We talk about that night still...

Fell in love with The Cult in 85. Album Love is in my top 10 of all time. Beautiful production. Billy Duffy is one of my favourite guitar players. He delivers live, always. So cool. Unfortunately Ian hasn’t always. Maybe he saved it for The Doors of the 21st century. Man that was a brilliant performance. Saw The Cult 6 or 7 times live. The songs are so great. Resurrection Joe, Love Removal Machine, Edie, Love Trooper and of course Spiritwalker etcetera etcetera.

Saw the cult a few years ago and Ian threw his tambourine up really high to catch it, but lost it in the lights, it hit him in the face and put a big gash in his face, just kept on rocking with blood pouring all over. So freaking rock!

This song, amongst all of the 80s metal bands - to me - is the quintessential blues/hair/metal rock that has the growl, the drive, the supreme 4 on the floor straight adrenaline build that just has the great hook you can help but sing and stomp to. It was very common of 80s metal bands to film music videos at arena tour setups, catch it over a few sound checks and youve got a music video. This song, as all the comments before me say, is perfect to blast loud and sing your head off to!

Who else loves Hollow Man? Fell in love with The Cult first time I heard it. It was actually the first song I heard.

Because of a tape deck malfunction, the first song i heard was Hollow Man... I was hooked.

Guns and Roses gets credit for bringing rock music out of the doldrums of the hair metal days but what folks don't realize is that it was actually The Cult. The Cult paved the road for GnR. In fact, when GnR broke big, they were opening for The Cult on tour. When GnR lost their drummer, they reached out and took in The Cult's drummer. The Cult brought the "Rock" back into Rock and Roll.........

@alanstrom2221 21 день назад

The Cult are an English rock band formed in Bradford in 1983. Before settling on their current name in January 1984, the band performed under the name Death Cult, which was an evolution of the name of lead vocalist Ian Astbury's previous band Southern Death Cult. So glad they shortened the name. I saw them twice in October 1987 at Selina's Coogee Bay, Sydney after they'd released the "Electric" album. Then again on their 2013 Tour in Sydney. They finished this gig with "Sun King" and the crowd went ballistic. One of the best Rock Bands in history.

Kinda neat that you're bringing up all the different tones and (for lack of a better term) feels in the production of this song as well as breaking down the vocals quite nicely. What struck me when I first started hearing them was just that very different feel that they brought to the radio at that time. I like Ian's voice in that he truly does have an emotional quality that stood out for me. As far as the performance, most of the videos from the MTV era that were in front of an audience were shot the same as TV shows but in arenas with audiences but with many takes until they got what they needed. Great reviews/reactions by the way!
