I saw The Cult supporting Guns n Roses at Milton Keynes Bowl in the 90's. It was super hot in the crowd. When they played Rain, it started raining at the chorus. You couldn't have made it up. I thought they seeded the clouds to make it rain. It was a once in a lifetime experience.
Stealing from the right guys w/a style, and then maikin’ it somrhing new for everyone to enjoy.t to ENJOY, Not just for himself, but for everybody else as well... That’s the way to do it boys...keep the tradition alive! 🧔🎸
Very underrated band. Billy is one of the best guitarists ever and Ian is at a level like few others. Got to see Billy at a special concert for only around fifty people and he was fantastic.
Please give this Band the respect they deserve grew up listening to them and still find myself listening to this great Band . Keep it up love you guys .
This band should've been huge. Their music could be heard in every rock bar and nightclub in the UK throughout the 80s and 90s. Fire woman's my favourite. So happy to see the band playing.
Loved the Cult past tense , Ian needs a major overhaul I think the Cult is representative of a group that wasted golden opportunities multiple times thanks to Ian, sadly the Cult realized their potential long after their popularity had eroded and they now seem desperate to breathe life into a fire that's long dead but for the nostalgia. RIP
Ian Astbury is the most underrated rock vocalist. How he isn't rated as one of the top ten rock vocalists of all time is beyond me. I would put him with Robert plant and Freddie Mercury personally
I cannot think of another guitarist that gets the BIG SOUND out of his axes like this guy...Duffy has figured out how to get the best tone out of his axes...all of them...just bowl you over...and that Gretsch Falcon wih the Bigsby tailpiece is absolutely beautiful...he knows it, too...the guy brings it...
Rock dinosaurs, playing as if for the first time, the quality only improves over the years, it's like a good and precious wine. We guests just have to say thanks !!
They pack the same punch, even now. The last time I saw The Cult live was in 1992 in Nashville at Vanderbilt University. We crashed the gate, to a sold out show. What I witnessed way back then, I still see now, razor close, tight, perfection. Thanks guys for the music, and the rock and roll soul.
This was done so good its as good as a studio album, That takes talent 75 years old here Took my daughter to see these guys in New York City maybe 38-40 years ago and they still kick serious ass.
They're not underrated at all. Past their prime? Some still may argue that, but they're still going strong and in the recording studio as I'm typing this, but nonetheless they were huge in the 80s and into the 90s. I remember coming home from school everyday and turning on MTV (yes, when they actually played music videos lol) and She Sells Sanctuary would come on between 4 and 4:30 M-F.
Dang, I had no idea these guys were this solid. This is bad ass for sure! Indeed, Billy Duffy on guitar is absolutely astonishing! I'm a child of the 80's and I'm ashamed to say I just sort of overlooked them back then.
I was a Cult die hard back in the day, as well as today, but I get what you're saying.. as I was never a "Rush" fan growing-up, but now I realize how good Rush was!

Never out of my car CD player late 80s early 90s. Doing 100 miles plus a day. Hammering down the M8 at midnight. Saw them on their Ceremony tour. Awesome. Just love Billy Duffy. Love The Cult!
When "Love" came out , my high school buds and I went The Cult on March 26, 1986 at the Orpheum Theater in Boston. Epic! 31 years later I am still listening to their music with the same ferocity as if I had just heard it for the first time. They go down in my top 3 of best bands ever. Somebody said they were often overlooked, and agreed , and I think the critics failed to appreciate what The Cult brought to the table. Clean, honest , soulful, no bullshit Rock n Roll . And again, 31 years later after seeing more live shows and performances of all of my favorite bands, ...Love goes down as my #1 live show. It was mesmerizing. Thanks Ian and Billy for all of the years... and still rocking!
I saw them on that tour and several more over the years and agree they were overlooked however heavily promoted in Toronto on CFNY and were absolutely huge from 85 onward. It's in my top 5 albums of all time.
Agree! I was hooked after Love was released. Saw them for the first time when they opened for Billy Idol (Seattle, May 1987) promoting Electric, and have been listening since. They never got the deserved recognition, but that doesn't change the music--still rocks all the same!
I got Choice of Weapon a few yrs ago since I haven't heard from them in a long time. Choice of Weapon should have been the Rock Album of the Year for that year or won a Grammy, it's so good. Every song is better than the previous one and usually there's one or two so so songs on a CD, I love every song on Choice of Weapon. I'd go see them if they came to Portland OR.
Saw 'em in 2015 opening for GnR. It was the only concert where I really didn't care if the opener ever left the stage! Still rocked as hard as ever. Got the bloody t-shirt to prove it!🤘
Whoa, Astbury's voice is still great sounding. He always had a unique voice. Duffy's playing is also still fantastic. They just always have been great to listen to no matter what the year. The best though when ya can blast them out of car speakers as ya drive out in country highways in the evening with the windows down.
@@stephendaedalus6192 I agree. I've always felt that Ian isn't much cop live. He's fantastic in the studio but seems to all-but speak some of his stuff live. Shame, as the studio recordings show what a great singer he can be
If I’m feeling really down, I have a blast of ‘The Cult’ at full volume; the best therapy I know of to lift my spirits right through the roof. Long live The Cult.
The Cult was my Band in the 80's. Billy was so over looked and still is!!!! Great Guy had the pleasure to work with him! Man knows his Motorcycles and Soccer!!!! Miss Guitar Center Sessions!!!
Absolute Greatness! Ian and Billy fan since the early 80’s. Traveled from Houston to Orange County to Nashville to see The Cult. Favorite Rock Band of All Time! 🤟
The music speaks louder than any other aspect. Rare these days. Seriously, this band is a gold mine of the best rock riffs and songs. Billy and Ian wore match maked in heaven. Long live the cult.
This is one of the many bands that helped me make one of the greatest High School playlists that my friends and I proudly turned up the car stereo until the speakers exploded. I had a chance to see them in concert at the height of their fame but I had to give up my ticket because I to have back surgery.
The Cult is one of the most underrated rock bands of all time. I bought my copy of Electric when it came out and it is still in rotation today. There are not many bands from that era I can say that about.
Such an epic band and one of my true favourites. I saw them in Newcastle NSW Australia 1982. What a show and Ian Astbury held the crowd in his hands and yes all the women in the audience wanted him. Great band. Unique sound. 🤘🤘
I've been a fan of the cult since '85. I'm glad to never have been disappointed. Billy, I don't know why you were placed back in the corner of the guitar world but, you are extremely under rated. You are an awesome guitarist!!!
I've never seen them live but I'm still a big fan. I hope I get to even though they're older now. Hope they play some U.S. shows up east. Fingers crossed. 🤞
so amazing this band is timeless because of the amazing talent behind each instrument including this amazing artist's vocals. i am finding The Cult to be my personal Rolling Stones of life. I love them.
How cool is Ian’s voice…can never get bored of listening to it… Duffy on guitar is just mind blowing… The rest of the band with backup vocals are so cool. Love this band since 1989 Long live the cult long live British Rock
There were alot of great bands in the 80s as.....I loved them all, but the one band that always resonated for me over and over was the one band that never got mainstream attention ....it was the one band that was for most accounts, in my opinion and still to this day, one of the baddest ass rocking bands on the planet....I'm 50 years told today and they still blow me away.
Embers is brilliant. Duffy crafts some of the catchiest and most expressive riffs and melodies. I’m not sure there are another two people who craft songs like Astbury and Duffy.
Back when "new wave" music was popular. The Cult was an island oasis that got me through when there wasn't a lot of music I could identify with or, relate to. Thank you guy's for getting us through a strange time in music. You guy's Rock! Much appreciated!!
Top of the Top! The Cult is out of this world. Simply amazing !!! I especially love the songs from LP Electric from 1987. This post is another eternal record of this sensational band! Congratulations on the post. Just a note: the order of the names of the last two songs in the video is reversed: the correct one is the antepenultimate "Wild Flower" and "Rise" the last.
Every player in the cult is way above and beyond. They are the stuff of legends. All of their songs are so well crafted for each part. There is a magical reason for every single note/beat.
Embers was my girlfriend and my song. She pass away on xmas 2021. This song takes me to a better place. The cult changed my life for the better. Good Vibes 👣
Ian sounds a bit like a deeper voice Kermit the frog,especially during the verses of Revolution.LOVE THE CULT,watching listening to their evolution over the first four albums(spread through the whole of the eighties)was awesome.They married together so many genres.Goth,punk,new wave,alt pop,metal and rock’n’roll.Each of those first four albums represented a significant change in style and sound every release without disappointing even the most hardcore fans.GO LISTEN.
A friend of mine was set to be their bass player and found out he had cancer, so he turned down the gig and came home. He lived a couple of years after then passed. R.I.P. Buddy.
Saw them during their support for the "Rise" album. They were terrific. Matt Sorum was drumming for them. I rally love Rise. Among their best IMHO. Rave on!!
STILL love them as much now as I did when I first discovered them in the late 80s!!! Ian has never let me down with the sexiness in that voice!!! Phewwwwwww!!!! Saw them live 1x and fell in love all over again!! Cannot wait to see them again! A forever fan!!🤘🥰❤
They all sound awesome, gotta give Ian a lil extra love, his voice sounded absolutely great! Hard to make up for a flat, lifeless singing performance, no matter how badass your band is (in regards to more of the "mature" bands playing live)...The Cult rules...
I used to listen to them at full blast on my “Walkman” while doing my paper round back in the 80s and I still listen to their Love album while training today. I had the honour of seeing them in concert at Wembley Arena when Ian trashed the drum kit at the end of the gig. Amazing memories, and so good to see them playing again.
My 22 year old daughter has became an absolute CULT fanatic so I know I'm parenting correctly! I'm 52 and they haven't invented a stereo system yet loud enough to play this band on! Rock on guys!
Saw them live twice, including one time in an outside venue. I was almost in trance, because it was so excellent. My gf who was with me said she had never seen me like this. The Cult does that to ya...
@@timdasilva2806 how dare you call me that. I have a cognitive disability and don't deserve to be at the receiving end of your stupid insult. Go and f@#+ yourself big baby.
Ian has such a unique tone to his voice while Billy knows how to make that guitar howl giving the Cult a unique sound. The first time I saw them was with Metallica. Been a fan since.
@@crkelle WOW.......and yet only a year or two earlier Guns N' Roses opened for The Cult, while a few years later Metallica opened (co-headlined to be exact) for Guns N' Roses! Funny how bands can be on "top" one minute and not so "big" the next, lol.
Been a fan of you since the early 80's!!! love all that you are Ian and Billy You guys shaped the way I listened and interpreted alot of the music I listen to today and then!!! Thank you so much! Ian keep that awesome voice and vocal as long as you can my friend, there will never be anyone ever equal!!!!
Don Jhon : Agree 100%. Those 3 late 80's albums Electric , Sonic Temple & Ceremony is such a huge part of my party-going days in my early 20's. Aaah , the memories. Sweet youth.
they had the wrong name.. everyone heard " the cult" and thought "depeche mode emo band".. when theyre flat out rock/hard rock/guitar rock. BRILLIANT band. Brilliant musicians. So overlooked
Ian had the band drop it down one step but Dudes still AMAZING !! I think he could still sing it regular Key but has to preserve that voice . Fantastic song Wildflower always enjoy playing it at a gig !! Gets the Crowd going !!
Está banda no le pide absolutamente nada a las bandas más clásicas que existen, ni a las más comerciales, de cualquier género. Una de las mejores voces, una de las mejores guitarras, el mejor acompañamiento, nada le pide a las llamadas "mejores bandas del mundo"...
I love that album too. They went experimental with their sound. Not a single filler on the album. The lyrics shine too. I was them in London on that tour.
Rain is very...I cant describe all my feelings about this song. I cant help all the memories that time... This night they are playing in Buenos Aires... I wish to see this guys another time.. please,give me good vibes to enjoy their music and dance!!! (Im disable person..) greetings from ARGENTINA!!!!
I saw The Cult supporting Guns n Roses at Milton Keynes Bowl in the 90's.
It was super hot in the crowd. When they played Rain, it started raining at the chorus. You couldn't have made it up. I thought they seeded the clouds to make it rain. It was a once in a lifetime experience.
Billy Duffy...unheralded genius guitar hero...simply awesome...
One of the coolest rock guitarists too
Yeah, love that gretsch white falcon sound he gets
No doubt
Stealing from the right guys w/a style,
and then maikin’ it somrhing new for everyone to enjoy.t
to ENJOY, Not just for himself, but for everybody else as well...
That’s the way to do it boys...keep the tradition alive! 🧔🎸
He taught my best mate lead guitar you know. Now were playing together in our own band. And hes a great bloke
Very underrated band. Billy is one of the best guitarists ever and Ian is at a level like few others. Got to see Billy at a special concert for only around fifty people and he was fantastic.

I saw them in Milwaukee last year with 50,000 people

14:58- the embers

Oh yeah !🎸🎸
Thanx👍

They started this off with my two favorite songs from them, LOVED IT
Show !!!!!!
THE CULT....one of the best band on the planet! my ispiration of live! Thank you guys
I grew up loving them!
A band rooted in British punk that adapted and survived rock, metal, grunge, and the shit we have nowadays.
Very well said.
Word
Hear Hear 👍🏼
yeah totally, and they still manage to have that 'new band' sound on this session, they're still fresh and relevant. :)
I hear that brother! The Cult still kick major ass! One of the best bands there has ever been!
electric is one of the BEST rock albums of all time.
Ian Astbury is the most underrated rock vocalist. How he isn't rated as one of the top ten rock vocalists of all time is beyond me. I would put him with Robert plant and Freddie Mercury personally

Billy makes it look so effortless yet exudes brilliance. Such a distinctive sound, loved his playing since the Early days of Death cult.
I've seen this show a few hundred times... best version of rain... very badass
Rock dinosaurs, playing as if for the first time, the quality only improves over the years, it's like a good and precious wine. We guests just have to say thanks !!
They pack the same punch, even now. The last time I saw The Cult live was in 1992 in Nashville at Vanderbilt University. We crashed the gate, to a sold out show. What I witnessed way back then, I still see now, razor close, tight, perfection. Thanks guys for the music, and the rock and roll soul.
I was there but it was 1990 at VU not 92.
It's almost eerily prophetic how they named their band. They never became a mainstream success. But they truly became "The Cult".
Sonic Temple was huge
cult is better than mainstream
@@tonyb5884 Mainstream in general have not soul is a product of merchandise.
I'm agree!!! They are awsome! Greetings from Argentina!!!
Well, they got a cult following..
But they're not a "cult". Not literally.
Thats a good thing!
This was done so good its as good as a studio album, That takes talent 75 years old here
Took my daughter to see these guys in New York City maybe 38-40 years ago and they still kick serious ass.
Fantastic performance. Massively underrated band.
Being underrated is what real rock and roll is all bout.
mdub048 Underrated by who? What a stupid comment. Underrated is the most overused term on TH-cam.
Why underrated!?They are a LEGENDS !
They're not underrated at all. Past their prime?

@@LucindaRhiannon
Yeah, I remember when the M in MTV stood for music.
Just a massive guitar sound by Duffy and vocals spot on real energy in the performance as well brilliant
I've LOVED THE CULT SINCE IVE BEEN 16 IM 60!!!IM IN LOVE WITH THE SINGER!! I LOVE YALL KEEP ON ROCKIN!!!!!!GO GUYS 4 EVER!! MY HIGH SCHOOL DREAMS💋💋💜💜
Probably one of the only bands out there that can still hold their own all these years, that voice is haunting.
I enjoyed this.
Yy FCC x
J'adore The Cult. La voix et les textes d'Ian Astbury. La guitare parfaite de Billy Duffy. Nostalgie..
Dang, I had no idea these guys were this solid. This is bad ass for sure! Indeed, Billy Duffy on guitar is absolutely astonishing! I'm a child of the 80's and I'm ashamed to say I just sort of overlooked them back then.
I was a Cult die hard back in the day, as well as today, but I get what you're saying.. as I was never a "Rush" fan growing-up, but now I realize how good Rush was!

Fantastic band live and on record. If I were the tambourine, I'd demand my own bus. God damn!
Got to love every single one of Billys riffs ! And that guitar !
Signature Gretsch. Whew!
What I like about the Cult is their music sounds like , spur of the moment magic . It's great .
That guitar sounds so different and gives The Cult an own touch of powerful rock. I still enjoy them like when I was a tennager in 80s !!!.
Billy's sound is awesome and so is his stage presence just like a true rock star that he is!
Magical band. The Cult has IT. IT is something that brings goosebumps from your soul.

Tim Mcgrath Same here brother.The Eletric album is when I first discovered them. Then the Sonic Temple album came out and I was hooked.👍
@d0dFLyEr it was American horse for me! Hooked like an addict
Same here
First time I heard Wild Flower I went crazy!
Same to me...now 50 and still love them
The Cult is one of the most underrated rock bands of all time. I bought my copy of Electric when it came out and it is still in rotation today. There are not many bands from that era I can say that about.
Underrated by who???
Won’t find anything more real in music than these guys. And the world turns around!!
Hey, this line-up is tight.
The Cult's Electric = best hard rock album EVER.
This was one of the best performances in recent history to me.
Such an epic band and one of my true favourites. I saw them in Newcastle NSW Australia 1982. What a show and Ian Astbury held the crowd in his hands and yes all the women in the audience wanted him. Great band. Unique sound. 🤘🤘
Rockers!!! Love, Electric and Stone Temple!!!! ....and the voice of Ian is just amazing!!!
This band is amazing. Songs that stand the test of time and more. Underrated.
Underrated by who?? They're legends, you moron.
One of my favorite rock bands. Power, soul, spirit ... real rock n' roll , the music of this guys. Long live The Cult.
Yes sir ...the Cult forever!!
They are deffently a very Unique Band for sure. Theyre great musicians. 👍
Cult, Cult, Cult, forever Cult, one of my favorite bands ever...saw them in 1988...earth, soul, rock and roll!
I've been a fan of the cult since '85. I'm glad to never have been disappointed.
Billy, I don't know why you were placed back in the corner of the guitar world but, you are extremely under rated. You are an awesome guitarist!!!
One of my requirements...if you don't like this band...we just can't be friends...ty.
Well then that my friend, is what makes you a Natzi , but I know what you mean
@@stephenlaurie759 thanks!
Haha, agreed.
not the nazi part tho.. just kidding..we can be friends anyway bro.
That's cool I wasn't trying to piss you off or anything
The band are awesome live. Tight as a nut. Billy and Ian are a dynamite combo
Duffy is a beast..... The Cult are never less than excellent.
He rocks
I've never seen them live but I'm still a big fan. I hope I get to even though they're older now. Hope they play some U.S. shows up east. Fingers crossed. 🤞
One of greatest bands ever love all their music.awesome.
That´s a great band. It´s a shame I´ve never seen them live. I saw Ian Astbury with the Doors once though. I must say he´s a hell of a singer!!!
so amazing this band is timeless because of the amazing talent behind each instrument including this amazing artist's vocals. i am finding The Cult to be my personal Rolling Stones of life. I love them.

Nice to see they've grown older gracefully and been creatively adaptive.
Love The Cult simce I've heard "Love" in 1987...my favourite band for ever ❤🖤🌹
Back when "new wave" music was popular. The Cult was an island oasis that got me through when there wasn't a lot of music I could identify with or, relate to.

I had the honour of seeing them in concert at Wembley Arena when Ian trashed the drum kit at the end of the gig. Amazing memories, and so good to see them playing again.
My 22 year old daughter has became an absolute CULT fanatic so I know I'm parenting correctly! I'm 52 and they haven't invented a stereo system yet loud enough to play this band on! Rock on guys!
Saw them live twice, including one time in an outside venue. I was almost in trance, because it was so excellent. My gf who was with me said she had never seen me like this. The Cult does that to ya...
i have always liked their sound. unique vocals.
One of the best concerts / moments of my life seeing the Cult amazing
Escuto The cult desde 1992, e acho que é a melhor banda de todos os tempos!! O som do The Cult é unico...
Never the same without Sorum on the drums but still one of the most widely underrated and under-appreciated bands to ever play.
excellent recording..... I love the Rain and Revolution remind me of the good ole days! good times in the mid 80s
Billy's tone on that Tele is epic. One of my favorites!
Awesome band! Guitar sounds great
Billy plays with such love !
I saw the Cult open for Billy Idol and they blew him away! Amazing band, amazing songs! Duffy can play a mean guitar!
The Cult originated from Bradford not Manchester. Get it right ya twit. Donna
@@donnahandsley9067 are you a professional wanker? Sounds like it! Too bad you couldn't comment on the original comment!
@@timdasilva2806 how dare you call me that. I have a cognitive disability and don't deserve to be at the receiving end of your stupid insult. Go and f@#+ yourself big baby.
Ian has such a unique tone to his voice while Billy knows how to make that guitar howl giving the Cult a unique sound. The first time I saw them was with Metallica. Been a fan since.
Who was supporting who?
@@karlmccarron3318 the cult was opening for Metallica. It was a weird combination. I think the Cult filled in for another band
@@crkelle WOW.......and yet only a year or two earlier Guns N' Roses opened for The Cult, while a few years later Metallica opened (co-headlined to be exact) for Guns N' Roses! Funny how bands can be on "top" one minute and not so "big" the next, lol.
Awesome...loved this group...so eclectic, so underrated and so talented.
Jamás me canso de escucharlos
Son tan buenos, excelente la energía que transmiten...
la increíble banda, excelente sonido y la voz de Ian ahhhhh.... queda para la historia, los amo
Been a fan of you since the early 80's!!! love all that you are Ian and Billy You guys shaped the way I listened and interpreted alot of the music I listen to today and then!!! Thank you so much! Ian keep that awesome voice and vocal as long as you can my friend, there will never be anyone ever equal!!!!
my all time favorite band overlooked by most but one of the most deserving
Don Jhon :
Agree 100%. Those 3 late 80's albums Electric , Sonic Temple & Ceremony is such a huge part of my party-going days in my early 20's. Aaah , the memories. Sweet youth.
they had the wrong name.. everyone heard " the cult" and thought "depeche mode emo band".. when theyre flat out rock/hard rock/guitar rock. BRILLIANT band. Brilliant musicians. So overlooked
@@raggeragnar Yep, I didn't get into The Cult until "Electric" came out, but that is still one of my top 5 albums of all time!
Ian Astbury and Billy Duffy are such a great duo, loved this band from the very first time I heard them in the eighties
Ian had the band drop it down one step but Dudes still AMAZING !! I think he could still sing it regular Key but has to preserve that voice . Fantastic song Wildflower always enjoy playing it at a gig !! Gets the Crowd going !!
These guys are on point! This band has always been GREAT!
And one of the most secure singers with a clear sight of what will be his melody line.
Está banda no le pide absolutamente nada a las bandas más clásicas que existen, ni a las más comerciales, de cualquier género. Una de las mejores voces, una de las mejores guitarras, el mejor acompañamiento, nada le pide a las llamadas "mejores bandas del mundo"...
These dudes still got it, Ian's voice and Billy's licks just so great.
Fantastic session love it. Their 1994 Album is so underrated The Cult/The Cult, have a listen!
I love that album too. They went experimental with their sound. Not a single filler on the album. The lyrics shine too. I was them in London on that tour.
Fantastic. I saw these guys recently at semi small venue(3000) it was breathtaking. I love John on the drums. He Rocks!!!
Yes he does, and enthusiastic about it.
Rain is very...I cant describe all my feelings about this song.
I cant help all the memories that time...
This night they are playing in Buenos Aires...
I wish to see this guys another time..
please,give me good vibes to enjoy their music and dance!!!
(Im disable person..)
