One of Britain's best bands. Ian voice fuckin awesome. Still listen to them big time and I'm 66. Rock chick's never die , they just collect newer rock music to blast out on a daily basis. Stay safe and sane from Scotland 🏴 x
@@charliegeorge9393 They're actually touring under their old name Death Cult, and recycling some of the songs from that era (and possibly from the Southern Death Cult times as well, I haven't actually looked into the setlist for the new tour yet). So yeah, they're very much alive and kicking.
Same, I've never heard anyone comment even a little negatively on Ian's vocals. Billy Duffy is an incredible guitarist & well respected in the industry.
One of the all time best frontmen. They are still touring and playing with other legendary bands like guns and roses, If you have been a fan of the rock genre, you would know this group and their place in rock history. Next song should be She Sells Sanctuary. Saw them about a month ago and they were as good as ever
Absolutely. Ian has a unique unequalled rock voice. Strange because he's English with a strong British accent yet sings in this southern dive-bar inflected American accent...its bizarre but so good.
The suriving members of The Doors brought Ian, the singer, in to do some performances with the band. He's the perfect vocalist to step in for Jim Morrison. The band really liked working with him and he did a great job.
Lil' Devil, Love Removal Machine, Wild Flower, She Sells Sanctuary, Sweet Soul Sister. Ian Astbury also sang with The Doors. He does a great Jim Morrison
This song sounds the absolute best on vinyl. This song is so driven, powerful, and awesome to listen to. One of my all-time favorite rock songs for sure!
Dang, I'm late to the party! This is my favorite song by one of my favorite bands! Every year for the past few years I try to get someone to react to it on my birthday! But better late than never, thanks ya'll for doing this one!! 🎵💃🎸 I can't tell you how many times I rode around in my Midnight blue Chevy blazer blasting this song and generally enjoying myself, hehe!
Thank Gawd FINALLY some CULT!!! One of my favorite bands ever, and one of David Bowie's favorite front man as well. I own thousands of dollars worth of CULT music which means b-sides, 12 inch records, long play versions, concert footage, and rarities. This is a rabbit hole band. My favorite among favorites lol.
The Cult were/are a great 80s/90s rock/hard rock band. This album, Sonic Temple, was a big hit for them. It got heavy play on MTV and rock radio. There are a lot of great songs on this album. Great frontman in Ian and great guitarist in Billy!
I saw this show in Atlanta in 89 I believe. Fantastic show!!! Every song...the whole night from both bands...complete raging fire!!! Man that takes me back lol...🍻🍻🍻
The one Metallica tour I really wanted to go to!!! To this day, I'm still bummed about not being able to go! And I still haven't seen Metallica, and I'm okay with that
I love Ian Astburys voice. And The Cult are a very underrated band!! Knew a girl and she once said, if you can sit still to this song? there is something wrong with you😁
The Cult played their hometown of Glasgow last week and they can still blow the roof off! Their mix of rock, metal, goth, glam and catchy tunes made them and their sound unique! Keep on rocking!
From 1989 Thru '93 THEY, Were A Top - 5, Metal/ Hard Rock Band!!( After GnR , METALLICA,Skid Row, And U-2, But AHEAD Of Bands, Such As Great White And The 80,S Hair Bands... PS. IAN Is A "New Age ",Jim MORRISON!" He Even Sang With Ray And Robbie, Around 2000 ( aka DOORS- 1999, version) 😁👍🎸🎵🎶🎵 😝
We always play my husband’s Spotify list from his phone whenever we are in the car!🚗 Last night when we went to the grocery store this is one of the songs that played!😂. Great song! Hadn’t seen the video though!🎵 🎶 Great reaction!!❤👍
The Cult was an outlier in the techno club seen back in the late 1980's. When you listen to their earlier stuff you'll also get the dance vibe. Remix's of She Sell's Sanctuary, Rain, Love Removal Machine, and Firewoman were mainstays in the underground techno (EDM) club scene. As a matter of fact, during this tour (Sonic Temple) back in 1989 I saw them open up for Metallica (and Justice for All). I didn't have any idea who Metallica was at the time because only the six potheads with jean jackets at my high school knew who they were back then (writing this stoned, haha). When the concert was over I saw The Cult's lead singer (Ian Astbury) signing autographs at their bus. I walked up to him and said, "Man, you guys blew away Metallica." He looked at me curiously with a look of, "Are you fucking with me?" I've since become a Metallica fan and understand the look. The reality is that The Cult and Ministry (though the techno underground) are my catalyst into rock.
I have seen these guys 5 times live. Billy Duffy & Ian Asbury are two of my all-time favorites. HUGE catalog of great music. The EP's & Remixes they do are top notch.
I've seen them live. They are amazing live and sound just like the record. It was too cool and I've always LOVED Ian's long beautiful black hair. Yes, Ian is the singer.
❤❤I love the Cult , this is a unique band with a mix of Rock and dance beat. I gotta tell you people something when I use to hit the dance clubs in the city they were playing Rave music which I also love and man it would get quiet for a few seconds and then the Cults song called " She Sells Sanctuary " would come on and everyone in the club started cheering as they ran to the dance floor, ladies and gentlemen the excitement and exhilaration you felt with that bass and sound system with speakers everywhere it was an amazing time to be alive. ❤❤❤❤❤
You need to do more homework when it comes to Ian Astbury and The Cult! One of the best bands throughout the 80’s and 90’s and still touring today with a massive following. Ian’s vocals are amazing!
I saw Ian Astbury and crew open for Metallica way back in the day and they put on a helluva show! This has been a pure banger since I first heard it years ago.
Love this band. I rate Love as one of my top albums of all time. This is there almost heavy metal phase. The early indie rock of southern Death Cult, Dreamtime Spirit walker, Horse Natoion, 83rd Dream...then the classic Love she sells sancuary, rain, big neon glitter brother wolf and sister moon, and i can never get Love loud enough, I've tried...wildflower, sun king and the new tracks...so many and continuing...a great band, a great voice....
FANTASTIC Band. Very underrated . Matt Sorum is the drummer, who went on to drum for Guns and Roses (November Rain) and Velvet Revolver (Slither) and is now with Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top.
If you want to here another rockin' song from the Cult that makes you want to dance, check out their song "The Witch" from the Cool World sound track. It's one of my favorites of theirs.
The Cult, yay!! I've loved these guys since the 80s, they're amazing and still tour! Have seen them live twice & they're excellent. They were very popular for awhile in the late 80s/early 80s, a bunch of hit songs and great albums. Their early stuff is different, more 'goth' as the lead singer, Ian, calls it, but super good. They were popular in UK for the earlier stuff, it's really good....She Sells Sanctuary is huge & Love & Rain are also excellent.
The rock vocalist the way it should be he's really good voice quality unique, not so serious hard hitting heavy sound but still manage to make us dance
Did you know the drummer in this video went on the be the drummer for Guns and Roses after they fired their drummer. Also check out the song wild hearted son by The Cult.
Fun fact: The lead singer here, Ian Astbury, was in a band called "The Doors of the 21st Century" in the early 2000s with original Doors guitarist Robby Krieger and original organist Ray Manzarek.
Awesome band that kinda carved their own niche...and, Ian Asbury is way underrated as a front man (there's a reason The Doors tabbed him for vocals on their reunion tour).
Back in the day, my wife told me somebody walked up to her while she was having lunch out in an open plaza, and said to her 'Fire Woman'. She didn't realise that it was the title of a song, even though I had been playing a cover version in a band for a few weeks.
If you can get your hands on the Rare Cult 5CD box set, get it. Some absolutely great songs. One of the few rock bands that everyone wants to dance to. She Sells Sanctuary & (Here Comes the) Rain are legendary. The whole "Electric" album is a master piece and "Sonic Temple" as well. I have been listening to them since "Love" came out.
The Cult are an English rock band and they're still around and touring. They were very popular in the 80's and early 90's. In the last few years they've pit out a couple of decent albums. Lead singer Ian Astbury and guitarist Billy Duffy are the main songwriters.
This band was the opening act on Metallica's "and justice for all" tour which I saw at Red Rocks. The crowd was so hostile to them. I felt bad for them because they aren't a bad band but they just aren't a good fit to open for Metallica. They played a short set of a little under an hour and split. At some point though, someone did something up near the front row that pissed off the lead singer so much, he jumped down off the stage making his way into the audience to kick the guys ass. I couldn't tell what happened from my angle but I respect the guy for doing it. This was their closing song and they skipped the encore.
Check out the song she sells sanctuary. It was one of their earlier songs just after they became the cult and they hadn’t picked up. That sort of heartache sound yet. Another one that’s really good is love removal machine and little devil is another one I’d recommend.
