      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.

      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.

    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.

      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

      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!

This was the first incarnation with Ian Astbury, very goth but amazing songs, both lyrically and musically. Then The Death Cult, when Astbury joined forces with Billy Duffy. God's Zoo is a classic. After that they dropped the Death part and recorded Dreamtime :)

      They were quite big in the 80s but tbh they were their own worst enemies. Dramatic style changes (listen to Dreamtime and Love then compare it to Electirc and then compare them all to Sonic Temple), Ian's huge ego, massive excess and inconsistant live performaces (Ian was either a rock god or a tone deaf talentless noise poluter with nothing between the two coupled with his ability to never hit a cue) all combined to ensure they never hit the hights they truly deserved. And I say this as a man who got in to them when Dreamtime was released the first time around.

    I saw them in 1980 in KCMO at the uptown. Total yuppie in the middle of a goth crowd...one of the greatest nights of my life!

    Seen them once before and been listening to them since the mid 80's. One of my all-time greatest bands ever. Thank you for your Outside the Box thinking in music to create such a unique group.

      Their great success is they are my second favorite all time band after 35 years and I barely know the lead singers name, I saw electric tour in Seattle and when I play electric I got kicked out of two marinas on my boat. It just scares people.

      I'll have to try that. My neighbors love my singing! When I saw dudes they were OLDER than me so this painful to watch I'd break my legs if I tried any of their shit kicking and jumping just like I did in '87 when people weren't watching

    I heard this song back in 1987 at The Limelight in NYC probably when it first came out. Still love listening to it.❤

    When I was first learning to play guitar, it took me some paying attention to realize Billy Duffy plays a first-position G chord with an xtra D on the B string instead of the “normal” G chord that lets the B string ring open. It was SO satisfying when I figured that out, allowing me to learn -or really “get-this track plus She Sells Sanctuary. Love this band !! 🙌
