One of the great underappreciated bands of the 80s and 90s. These guys had groove for days!!!
Awesome band! I love both their new wave sound and their Zeppelin-influenced hard rock/stadium rock.
@Bike Cycle to right mate. headlined big day out here one year. Great band
Underappreciated?
Huge fan since they were the southern death cult!! Always thought Billy never got the credit he truly deserved, but Ian is one of the most criminally underrated singers ever!!!!
"She Sells Sanctuary" is as perfect a rock song as I have ever heard.
Thanks for your analysis of the vocal, Fil.
I always wondered why I liked Ian Ashbury's vocals so much.
Years don't lie, but to still be able to pass snuff vocally is impressive for a singer who typically pushed the upper limits of his range when he was much younger. Of course you can hear the differences but the soul is still there.... and so to is the appreciation for the great music!
I'm amazed at the ones whose voices get continually better with age -- like Monkee Micky Dolenz for example.
(My *own* range & vocal quality has radically improved over the decades since I *stopped* taking voice lessons
and *started* drinking -- though I doubt I would fare better now than in 2005 when I foolishly told my mates in
Cauhaus [th-cam.com/video/-r3ih9ElSzM/w-d-xo.html] I could do the vox if they wanted to cover "...Sanctuary" live!)
Always liked the Cult. My son is able to say that the first concert he ever went to, his mother took him to see the Cult. That was 30 years ago when he was 11. We still go to shows together whenever we can.
The combination of the middle Eastern guitar sound and the singers fantastic vocals made this song the classic rock anthem it is. It makes the hair on my next tingle every time I hear it. Superb.
It's 80's night @ Fil's Place !
Everyone grab a seat & a cold drink 😉 It's time for some Rock-n-Roll !
The guitar comes out & class is in session 😎🎸Thank you Fil ! 😆🤘
🎸 🎺 🎷📯 🎹 🎙 🎹 📯 🎷🎺 🎸
Now I can talk about music with my friends & sound like I know what I'm talking about ☺
i was a young kid working in a record store when the 'love' album came out. i remember we (the employees) all loved it. it was so fresh and new and exciting and experimental for the time.
The Cult Dude. loved them in the 80's..unique sound..thanks Fil
Props to these guys. So underrated. Still kickin it!
I really liked this band back in the 80's into the 90's. Didn't know they were still active. I think you had fun with this one Fil. Looked like it was right in your wheelhouse.
Fil giving a great analysis as usual and then.., cutting to his guitar and giving a great demonstration! Excellent! What a treat. Awesome! Thanks Fil! So glad you featured this song / band. 🙂 Really enjoyed it.
Pls check out the outstanding Matt Andersen performance of “Ain’t No Sunshine”. His voice is incredible, but he owns the guitar!
Your demonstration shows beautifully how components of a song work like the components of a poem: While creating meaning together with the lyrics, the music and vocals also furnish the underlying structural elements that aid not only execution of the song, but also its interpretation, as you point out--accents, rhythm, etc. So cool! Thanks for a terrific analysis!
YEEESSSS!! The CULT!! 💖
This is the first song by the Cult I ever heard, and I always loved the music video-- with Ian in his frilly shirt, tights, and scarf, (seemingly) dancin' on glass! All the weird close ups of his mouth on the mic...lol! I love the distinct tone of his voice and his words in She Sells Sanctuary, and just the vibe of the whole song. It was so much of what was right about the 80s 💕
And Billy Duffy isn't talked about enough in the guitar world! He wrote some seriously cool, driving, songs.
I have to admit I was chomping at the bit, hoping it was an analysis of Fire Woman--talk about smokestack lightning!!
🤤 (maybe when you revisit? * wink wink nudge nudge *)
I laughed SO hard at your voice demo, but it was after being really impressed with your pitch just before that. It's so important to be able to go a bit ham and still illustrate a point well-- it makes it! Seeing what it is that makes his voice unique was fascinating!
...I was in such a tizzy I wrote WAY too much, haha! Time to go watch some Cult videos 😍
One of my favorites by the Cult! Thanks Fil for another great analysis and for the guitar demonstration. You ROCK! 🤘🏻❤️✌🏻
No one grooves like The Cult!!
SO GOOD!!
So underrated!
Wow! My favourite song! Whilst I love the original version, I also love the 2013 version. I'm hearing a variation of notes that i'm digging. Your guitar demo was spot on - i've always wanted that Sanctuary riff explained. But whilst you were playing guitar, I was typing along to the tune. Awesome analysis!!! Thank you!!!
Just what we needed! Love this song and the way you demystified what makes it so involving and wonderful to hear!
Isn't it though... Elo Luv .... =^>
@@davidcantwell2489 Yes, indeed! :)
Wouldn't been cool if Fil was chomping on birthday pizza while doing this segment
@@mevrammcoyoteV8f150 Haha! But, he needs BOTH hands to be busting out the guitar and clearing up the mysteries!
Is the Cars reference on purpose, or just happy accident?
Such a good and underrated band. I remember when they were all over college radio with 'Wildflower' and 'Lil Devil' and I very much liked that harder sound on the "Electric" album. I always liked Ian's voice and, as has been pointed out elsewhere, he probably went all-in long enough to damage himself. But to paraphrase one of the guys in Slipknot, "We take days off out lives every night to entertain you'. Thanks for digging up a memory Fil.
Great band! Great unforgettable song! Love that riff! Saw The Cult
live back in the 80s, High energy show musically and Ian's great unique vocals made for an unfogettable show! Excellent Analysis Fil! Thanks! 🎼🎵🎶🇨🇦
Timeless classic song. Great band that crossed genres and continents. Bikers, punks, goths, metalheads, trendies snd hipsters. Everybody loved The Cult. Very very underated. Wonderful.
One of my Fav Bands from the 90"s!.... Ian.....Great hair , Great voice and tunes Rocked!... Classic!... Love The Cult! Awesome Fil!
Hi. I loved The Cult. My Brother got me the album Electric and a T-shirt in 1986 or 1987 (showing my age now). Thanks for hi-lighting a great band.🎶
Lee and Chappers played this on some newer Gretsch semi-hollow bodies several months back on the Anderton's guitar channel and they played it really well. Then I stumbled on the Cult's live studio version used here about 3 weeks ago. Low and behold, Fil picks it up and does a thorough analysis of it for us today! Guitar mucho happiness day! Makes me wish I still had my 300 hp 1986 Camaro ... Thanks Fil!!! :)
Professor,
You always teach us with ..i love the playing/ singing .. It has helped me tremendously with my overall dynamics...
Much 💘
Rock 🎸
It is fun that you allmost every time when Billy hits tremolo bar harder, you just smile! 😁👍🤘
Excellent demonstration and analysis! great footage of The Cult. one analysis after another your channel has become an excellent source of music history. thanks Fil.

Such a fantastic band, I always thought they never got enough credit! Ian Astburry's voice was great on the day!!
O goodness, how many times I looked at your musicians didn’t even notice the Cult! I never swear but getting old is a B. I loved this band and did I envy their hair. Beautiful. My hair is short now too but hey they are still playing. I loved Hey Soul Sister. Another influential Rock band.
From the first note, they took me to another place. Something happened to my brain. Hypnotic. In a trancelike state. Ian's vocals and moves. Billy. Ooh. Good, good stuff.
They still do.
Enough said.
Thanks Fil.
Love the Cult growing up, wicked songs. Billy had such a thick tone and Ian had incredibly strong vocals. Ian's long black hair was quite a presence on stage back in the day.
The Cult Rocked. "Fire Woman,"
Was the tune to put them on the map. It's everything I'm looking for in a rock and roll song. I mean you can drop the top on your vet and bang gears to it. That's rock and roll.
Check out the stage the theatrics.
That's Rock theater man.
I’d argue that “She Sells Sanctuary” was the song that put them on the map. “Fire Woman” came years later.
@@jennycraigadventures3314 Probably talking about in terms of the mullet rockers in the US. Wanna hear a proper Cult live performance at their peak? th-cam.com/video/F2kIwz4lo5U/w-d-xo.html&start_radio=1
"Fire Woman" Perfect stripper song.
For you maybe , for me it was rain, which came out way before firewoman
Wow Fil.....I get a kick in the Nutsack everytime you bust out your Guitar, your so damn good
Spot on, I really Dig the way you
break it down, you don't linger
endlessly on any one riff, you get to the point and move on! It's just a Joy to watch you sing or play, and as usual, a Great Band and Dynamite Analysis.......🎸💚
Thanks!
I love the vocal variation. That's part of what makes live music so great. Interesting analysis. This track is from my late 80s musically formative years at uni.
one of my favorite groups of all time....Ian A Voice amazing and a great great song!! Never saw this version quite stunning!! Thank you for reviewing this band love them ~~!!love when you were playing the riff as well
FIRE WOMAN is my very favorite by them th-cam.com/video/8g6h1vI4Xv0/w-d-xo.html
Good to see them. My son loves the Cult!!!! Vocals are amazing! Thanks Fil. Happy Belated Birthday 🎂 ☕️
Saw these guys in the 80s and in the early 2000s. Both shows rate at the top of my list for live shows I’ve seen. They were high energy and amazing performances by the musicians. Still love them.
Great analysis, as usual! TY.
Brilliant video...one of the most underrated bands on the planet. Only those that know, know !
I don't know much about guitars, but I heard that Billy Duffy plays that massively large one on this song, and it gives an incredible sound to the song.
Thank you sir for doing that song by The Cult - they are my boys Ty again and I'm now a subscriber!
I’ve always loved the wall of sound that Billy created with the driving rhythms and melodic flourishes. Perhaps less well appreciated was the band’s rhythm section which I always thought was pretty good despite going through 3 drummers in a span of 3 years. I quite liked the drumming on the Love album, Hollow Man in particular.
I fully agree... on the LOVE Album Mark Brzezicki of Big Country played the drums ... one of the most underrated drummers ever...
One of my favorite songs from them is Love Removal Machine!! They rock!!
Great pic sir! The Cult are my favorite band - Ian's voice is like a combination of leather and lipstick- great job again!!!
thanks for the awesome analysis Fil. I still recall the first time i heard it when someone came to a party with the single and was raving about it and doing the "you have to listen to this" routine. I loved it the moment i heard it.
Since I was a 5 yr kid I listen to rock, and a funny fact at that age i stared with Grand Funk. This guys from the Cult are awesome and unique. Thank you for litening to this underated band. I say that because ii a from Mexico and not a lot of people specially from the now a days know about them. Love from Mexico. Listen to some of YES.
WINGS of PEGASUS,
I enjoy your channel; keep up the good work.
Still one of my favorite songs, with my tambourine included! :D
Criminally underrated band.
I enjoy every " wings of pegasus " song and you're reviews. Outstanding.
Thanks!
Billy Duffy and Ian Astbury! Rick Rubin honed their sound!
Keep saying that was Great, but the Analyses is Great professor Fil, love the break down demos, Jeff in LA USA
Awesome song man! This was a staple on “progressive night” at the local clubs when I was in college back in the 80s. The opening riff always reminded me of bagpipes. Billy Duffy is fantastic and Ian (I believe?) also played drums on their studio recordings. “Love” is a monster album! Their next two albums are also great and got them a lot of radio air play. 🎼🎸✌🏻
We’re The Cult considered “progressive”? I always thought of them as more of a hard rock/alternative hybrid.
Yeah it was kinda interesting...back then you could hear The Cult, followed by the Smiths (Billy Duffy was actually in a band with Morrissey before The Cult funny enough), and then New Order, REM, the Cure, Depeche Mode, Husker Du, etc. Music was so much fun back then!🙂
Love love love this song. Have had this video saved to my faves for a while now.
Excellent lesson Fil! Thanks! Fire Woman is one of my favorite songs by the Cult but this one is excellent as well.
I remember when this came out in the 80s. I absolutely love this song. Thanks for the memories Fil.
Love the cult Sonic Temple is still one of my favorite albums of all time.
Great band...enjoyed their show at the Greek Theatre in LA last year.
Many of their songs have an AC/DC like style and feel. Always loved this band...
I'm here again because I love this song and your analysis 🎸 This 2013 version is almost as good as the original.
Happy Easter Fil! 🙏🏻🐥Miss you terribly. Life has been hard again. This song was in the movie 'Singles', and I love it and the movie is highly underrated. I was really into The Cult around 'Fire Wiman'. Stay Safe! 💜
They both still got it!
Love your videos, Fil! Between you and Rick Beato, I've learned so much about music that I already loved.
Cool!
Hi Fil,
how you doing? First at all, congratulations for your work and for the accuracy and passion you put into analyzing each song. I played the bass, for many years, in a Cult covers band. I had a lot of fun 'cause their songs are beautiful and structurally well done. What I particularly like are the "instrumental interludes" that embellish and characterize many Cult songs, such as for example: "She sells sanctuary", "Rain", "Love removal machine", "Fire woman", etc... Keep it up Fil! Thank you very much. Great job. Greetings from Italy.
Pegasus is like the trademark of Dallas, Texas. They are everywhere😁. ❤️ the CULT!!
Saw them in Aberdeen last October, phenomenal! Astbury's vocals and stage presence are out there. Watched your Quo Live review and now this, have subscribed . Loved this Cult review,great breakdown of Billy's play! ✌️🖤😎
Thanks!
The Cult was so cool. Great sound. Great video as always man.
Beautiful guitar and playing
Just great as always!!! So cool to hear you tell us what we are hearing as to their technique. MERCI!!!!!!
I saw The Cult live right around this time, and what struck me most about Ian Astbury was how easy and comfortable he was in his vocal performance and delivery. Same with Billy Duffy, just a really experienced and veteran act and it showed.
Love the Cult❤️ You have a great way of making me like them even more✌️
Great commentary! Cool to see you play guitar!
The Cult kicked ass!!!!' Such a great band! Ian Astbury is/was great! Great set of pipes! I love The Cult!
Thanks Fil! I love when you explain and demonstrate the details and intricacies of the vocals....✌️❤️🤘
Gawd, I needed this! Thanks, Phil :)
God, he still sounds great!!!
Fil, you mention so many "effects" that are available when playing the electric guitar. Would you consider doing a video that explains each "effect" and a sample of each? Thanks... Cheers.
More badass than the original. It's a great song, and bridged the gap between; say, The Damned and all the Summer of Love Manc bands for me. Aged very, very well. Thanks.
Cant wait for band history from you!
Nice to see an expert value Ian's singing. In the early years when Ian sang (Southern Death Cult), he wasn't singing, he was screaming, and it was out of tone a lot. He must have had singing lessons around 85/86, because during/after the Love album his voice (and I am talking about live performances) became much and much better. She Sells Sanctuary blew me away when I first heard it on the radio in 1985, then I saw them live at Pinkpop '86, and have been a huge fan of them since. CFFC
Have enjoyed cult status in San Francisco for three decades. Ciao, Eddie. And yes he was compared to Jim Morrison for no more apparent reason than they had a similar appearance. And appearances can be deceiving. Great band.
Just got a White Falcon... $3800... and I’m a blue collar hobbyist, something very magical about that guitar .
Wow, I loved these guys and never knew they were british!
Fil, you provided so much in your musical analysis. I enjoyed listening to the Cult's great performance(in the link you provided)as I've enjoyed their music. I'd always thought that as a vocalist, Ian Astbury was rather underrated. I saw him with Ray Manzarek and Robby Krieger as "The Doors of the 21st Century" in concert in 2002. To me, Ian proved to be versatile as a vocalist in the way he'd adapted his style and delivery of the Doors' songs. However, it seemed like the majority of the audience had already rated Ian before he started--and it wasn't in his favor. Even my friend who took me the concert said, "They don't sound the same; and the singer doesn't sound like Jim Morrison." Anyway, I also appreciated your vocal and guitar demonstrations. In the latter, great explanation of the use of call and response and the importance of accenting rhythms. If I'm not mistaken, this accenting rhythms on the offbeat--which you mentioned is common in rock and hard rock music--is a type of syncopation. Because I'm a musician, you really had me thinking musically here. I'm truly grateful for your getting me to do that...thanks, Fil!
Breaking out the Fender to play and demonstrate those little bits and pieces really ups the quality of your analysis videos. We enjoy it very much. 🤘PS and your singing too!
Thanks!
this and painted on my heart.. good review FIL!..
i always learn some thing new from you Fil - thanks . . .
I played this song MANY times in my touring days. Always a killer!
This is my favorite video from you yet!! Please break out your guitar and vocals more often. For non-musicians such as myself they are great ways to better understand your commentary. Thanks, Fil!
Good stuff, nice choice of song to feature, and well done on the analysis, thanks!
One of my favourite songs. Thanks for doing this one.
What a coincidence. I watched that video for the first time not long ago. I didn't even know it was them and thought i was watching a cover.
I think it was ACDC introduced me to that triplet guitar pattern. I forget which songs use it but it shows up in several of their songs.
So Sweet. Love this
These guys are still great! Thanks for doing this one!!
How about doing an analyses video on the band "Crash Test Dummies"? Brad Roberts' voice is really different for sure!!
Saw them for the first time in Memphis in Early 2014 - an amazing show!
Para quiénes no somos músicos ni cantantes; es una explicación brillante. En mi caso soy absolutamente fanático de The Cult y este video me dejó muy en claro las cuestiones que lo definen como cantante de Rock. Te dejo un abrazo desde Buenos Aires.
Always have, always will LOVE the Cult. (since death cult days). Thank you. (Edited to ask for that "extra" video going into more depth 😉).
HI FIL
GOOD JOB AGAIN. LOVE YOUR VIDEOS. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. STAY SAFE. PEACE AND LOVE
What a fantastic underrated band!
Wow!!!!!!...Great Band 👏👏👏✔✔✔ ....exellent analisys 👌👌👌....🎼🎶🎵🎸🎸🎸🎸🌟🌟🌟⭐⭐⭐🔷🔷🔷
What a damn great Rock band Fil! I was only listening to these guys the other day....AGAIN! I absolutely love their style of rock...Ian’s unique vocals with an amazingly tight rhythm section along with Billy’s sensational guitar playing! Pure Cult is my favourite album of theirs.....man did that CD get some play time in my car! Awesome Fil! Cheers Mario! 😎🤘👌
Aaaah , The Cult ! Sonic temple is one of my top 5 albums of all time , alongside with ”Nevermind the bollocks”, Audioslaves 1st , Billy Idols ”Cyberpunk” and Nirvanas ”Nevermind”. Stay safe.
