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.
¡Yes! ¡As madcritter, the guy with the other answer, says make a playlist now and tell your wife, children or whoever to play it for you in the future! ¡You won't need memory, only feelings, to enjoy it! 😃😄😁😉😉
Dude, how ironic. I'm 62, home recovering from Cerebral angiogram, finding out out I have a "bullet in my head" so to speak. Today I had an urge to hear this song and find this. SAME
These guys opened for Metallica at an outdoor concert, in NH back in the day. To a crowd of about 2000...I was second row, center...8 feet from the stage. What a great day
I've seen the Cult five times and in every decade. They were always on the edge of being massive, but just never seemed to outdo their less-talented peers.
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.
My dad said this band was a one hit wonder with "Fire Woman." I then played this song on Rock Band and was like "are you sure?" 8 years later he has become obsessed with them. Most under rated band ever
I first saw The Cult in 1985 just a couple of weeks before they released She Sells Sanctuary. I was 16 or 17. Now I'm 50... and I'm still listening to these mofos :)
I was 12 in a target store they had the mtv video for fire woman. From then on i loved this band. Pure rock and great originality without any fluff. Just rock and roll. And i love red heads. Lol
@@bumblebee5337 that is funny. I like everything that's cool, from The Cult to Megadeth to Genesis to Rick James to The Beatles to Queensryche to The Red Hot Chili Peppers, on and on.
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.
Millions of people out there, including me, feel the exact same way you do. No other rock and roll band in the world can match the vibe the cult puts out. It's as simple as that. They were rock and roll Magic. And they were the desperately needed lifeline during a time when rock and roll was on life support.
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
One of the best bands, one the best songs, ever. Absolutely love this. I was lucky enough to see them in Boston before Covid. They did not disappoint. Unbelievable music. Birthday gift from my 31 year old son, LOL.
53 and I can still rock my skin tight Levi's. Got all of my hair and covid started right about haircut time. so about 4 years with no haircut and I'm suddenly once again a hairball rocking it.
This is the era that the Cult found themselves. They figured out who they were. And they went on to give us some of the greatest songs in rock history. I’m fortunate enough to have seen them live a few times. Ian always gave 110%. Even when he performed in Tempe AZ with a bad cold in ‘95, he gave extra. Thanks Cult. One of the most important rock bands in history.
If it has to be rated, this has to be rated #1 rock song of all time. Criterias: 1. Needs to rock 2. Needs to rock harder 3. Needs to be raw and authentic 4. Will make anybody move 5. Will make any body to produce an overdose of testosterone. Listening to this song even Ana De Armas will start growing a beard.
I've always said they were the all-around best and coolest rock band between the mid-to-late eighties, but I'm starting to think they may be just the coolest band in rock and roll history ever.
It's 1991, and I'm in Honolulu to accept an award for being at the absolute top of my game, business wise. I picked up my 5 liter Mustang convertible rental at the airport, because I was told the island has a freeway. I merge onto said freeway, hammer the throttle down, top down, and this song cracks through the radio. Volume goes up! Life is good! The next sign says "freeway ends 1/4 mile..." Couldn't let me just have this song!
If you haven't already, you should delve into the history of The Cult. Check out The Southern Death Cult. 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 :)
@@billyfoster3223 Lol..yea all three of em....That is now my favourite comment..( ppl who know nothing about music, that's all they got to use....most underrated....well no matter....KEEP PLAYING IT LOUD!!!!!!
They were an X band. and that was kinda of small slice of prog-rock dance music when they cam out, and never caught on big, except amoung the old rockers who heard it. Kinda had to be near Houston.
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!
The best Rock and Roll is just three chords (give or take), proven right here. Killer band. Still sounds as good as the first time I heard it. Never get tired of their sound.
I am 59 this year and I have done many things in my life that I regret. But there are very few things that I regret not doing. And seeing this band live is one of them.
Daniel Tyler Too bad. I'm from LA Been to lots of shows. These guys WERE THE BEST CONCERT I EVER SAW. They ripped it up for 2 1/2 hours. Freaking AWESOME!!! AND THAT WAS THEIR SECOND NIGHT IN A ROW!! FIRST NIGHT SOLD OUT SO THEY JUST DID A SECOND SHOW NEXT NIGHT. BADASS!
Whatever it takes to get to one of their shows just do it. It's one of my fondest memories. They're still out there doing it and they're doing it perfectly.
Remember my mom having Electric and coming pick me up from elementary school, and she would play this song nearly every day. Good old days do not ever fade...
Im just discovering The Cult and wow! I've never heard a band so perfect at what they do other than maybe AC/DC. They have this formula of hard rock combined with Jim Morrison style singing. It's unreal! I love everything I've heard so far!
This song is from Electric, produced by Rick Rubin. To get them in the right space before recording Rubin used to get them together and listen to AC/DC. Many years later Ian Astbury took on singing for the Doors.
Love your comment as I'm an aussie who loves our local music but The Cult and The Doors are my favourite international bands. Got to meet Ian back in the 90's when they toured here and have a signed poster which is proudly hung in my music room.
@@shimsladey3227 wow! What was he like? My uncle got to meet him actually back in the 90s or 00s I believe. He even wrote a poem for Ian and he really liked it. Seemed like a nice guy. They are extremely talented for sure. I was never much of a Doors fan but I do really appreciate his singing style. Just powerful!
@@Sc0teeBe318 He was a pretty cool cat. Mega chilled but the thing that surprised he's only a little fella and shorter than me and I'm only 5'6". I got the poster signed when he came into my work when I was at Billabong after they played the BDO festival on the Gold Coast plus he gave me a signed copy of the album that had just come out. The one with the black goat on it. He also put some of us from Billys names on the door for their gig in Brizzy and got to hangout backstage later. Unbelievable night and couldn't believe I got to have a beer with one of my idols. He actually fronted The Doors of the 21st so there's another link between the two bands.
@@shimsladey3227 , You must have met an Ian Astbury impersonator. He's 5'10. Look it up. I met him in Biloxi in 2013 or 14, he was outside of the tour bus and was admiring my Retro Triumph Motorcycle, Billy Duffy rides Triumphs too. Ian was taller than me and I'm 5'9.
The Pomp and bombast combined with the chops to pull it off. Fantastic band with some "get the fuck up and rock" songs. One of the reasons I have hearing aids today.
A club called Visage in Orlando, played goth and stuff! Whenever they played The Cult, everyone would start shouting and running to the dance floor. Those days were some of the best!
@@squash2097 Some goth bands i recommend are Bauhaus, Christian Death, Clan of Xymox, Siouxsie and The Banshees, The Sisters of Mercy, Dead Can Dance, Mephisto Walz, The Frozen Autumn, The Mission, Lebanon Hannover, The Cure, Alien Sex Fiend, Killing Joke, Specimen, She Past Away, Motorama and The Cult's first two albums and their material of Death Cult and Southern Death Cult.
Hey guys I really don't understand why people gives dislike to this classical rock of my favorites bands. Its an offence. Thank you Ian Astbury and your friends band for your great job. Thank you so much from Brazil and now in United Kingdom. 🇧🇷🇬🇧
I just told my wife the same thing 5 minutes ago. Very much the AC/DC formula..but it sounds like The Cult, not AC_DC. Think for a minute how hard it would be to write a 2 or 3 chord riff based around a basic blues-rock pentatonic scale and to arrange it in a way that its instantly recognizable. Now imagine writing 4 or 5 songs like that. Imagine how The Beatles did that on nearly every song on every album, roughly 2 albums per year for 10 years. That is staggering when you think about it
"But I don't wanna be a pirate." Said in best Seinfeld voice. This song rocks!
Oh he DEFINITELY wanted to be a pirate!

If you don't rate The Cult as a totally great 80's rock band then you deserve a slap!
it's mesmerizing how they change outfits every 10-12 seconds or so
Right!!!
😂
This is a real rock roll band 😊😊
This song was released in 1987, 33 yrs ago and it’s still kicking ass. Love the Cult!

If anyone deserves to be on the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, it's The Cult!!
💯
They were a great band until they went on holiday to America, then they came back with American college rock like fire woman and other shite albums
Shangri Las
That song ROCKS @@peteby485
They're not? That's a joke.
The Cult didn’t get the recognition the deserved in the 80’s, but now, years later, people are getting how great they were.
No doubt!
❤🎉
I always loved them ❤
@@JillVickWeeds
I’ve always seen the cult as one of the best rock bands of all time
The most underrated band in the rock history. Ian Astbury one of the best singers, undoubtely.
I agree
That Duffy dude ain't bad either. 🤣
You are so right. Ian is the best singer I have ever heard!!
He used too much vibrato, to me. But the Cult had some classic 80s post punk tunes.
I never appreciated them as i should of in the 80's. I do now.
Love removal machine. Best broken hearted poetry in history. Period.
I wish there was a Love Removal Machine. ... Life would be much less painful.
@@jojospeechy4848I presume you mean a love prevention machine.
Plenty of love removal machines out there. Bait and switch. Look out here she comes...
Much
Needed
This song is the quintessential example of Rock n Roll. The guitar, vocals and drums are on the money.
Sounds like The Stones!!!
It is definitely inspired by the Rolling Stones.
Sounds like Angus and his Boys
Never use that word to describe the cult again .
@@peterm3964 What word ??
These guys opened for Metallica at an outdoor concert, in NH back in the day. To a crowd of about 2000...I was second row, center...8 feet from the stage. What a great day
I'm 65 and love this group like a maniac, always listen their songs in my car on full loudness
As good as they were... They should have been huge... They had all the elements. looks, sound & chemistry there!
I've seen the Cult five times and in every decade. They were always on the edge of being massive, but just never seemed to outdo their less-talented peers.
very inconsistent live performances and lack of creative spark when it came to the actual musical arrangement held them back in that era
They are fine. I don't know what happened.
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.
But they had Ian with his attitudes and lyrics
My friend Kenny Hilbert loved this song R.I.P. Kenny I hope to see you in the afterlife ...
Wow. Kick ass party song. Always has been. Takes me back.
My dad said this band was a one hit wonder with "Fire Woman." I then played this song on Rock Band and was like "are you sure?" 8 years later he has become obsessed with them. Most under rated band ever
This band had several well-known songs besides Fire Woman. Your dad must not have been paying attention to the music scene back then.
Under rated in your family... that's about it
Love Removal Machine was on the Radio Constantly on Long Island!!Late 1980s
She sell the santuary

Ian Astbury’s voice is just epic!!
Logan Gabriel Ian is heaps better looking than Michael 😃💜🇦🇺
Not really
Both fugly
Love his vocals on Unkle's "Burn My Shadow" Intense!
Ian Astbury's voice is incredibly powerful! Their rendition of 'Born To Be Wild' was probably better, with due respect, than the original!!
Mr Duffy, you are truly awesome! (and criminally under appreciated)
I was 17 when this song came out and it blew me away, still does.

what a Band in It's Day!!!!
Ian makes my ovaries burst back then , and still my absolute favorite band to this day
Burst on......
The Cult will always hold a special place in my heart, great vibes, great memories. So underrated in my opinion... Love them.

Billy Duffy is a goddamned magician. Not only is he an epic guitarist, he can effortlessly change his guitar color from black to white to black again.
Gay Rambo, lol
And Ian can change in and out of his leather jacket when ever the camera isn’t pointed at him.
He must have had lessons. Probably beyond Mel Bay Book 7.
They don't even care that's how hard they rock.
No, it's because Ian is a God. Not the God, but a god.
gotta wonder why they were not more appreciated. They are just awesome.
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.

Absolutely, never say die.

Now that is a rock and roll song!!!
Elementary music for wise people. The Cult at its best! Magnificent piece of song
Saw The Cult this past August at the Greek, so awesome live, great energy. Legends
saw them perform it live on their electric tour and they had the whole of the Brixton Academy rocking, was one of the best gigs ever
The best Rock and Roll is just three chords (give or take), proven right here. Killer band. Still sounds as good as the first time I heard it. Never get tired of their sound.
That solo!!!!!!! They sure did not get the recognition they deserved. We going to see them live in a week and 4 rows back from stage!!!
This band was straight up Rock n Roll.
I am 59 this year and I have done many things in my life that I regret. But there are very few things that I regret not doing. And seeing this band live is one of them.

They ripped it up for 2
1/2 hours.

They are playing tonight at the Del Mar Fairgrounds!!!
They will be playing at the Legendary Red Rocks Amphitheater in Morrison 1st Annual beer Festival too. I couldn't pass them up.
Will see them in Albuquerque in Aug along with bush and stp
Whatever it takes to get to one of their shows just do it. It's one of my fondest memories. They're still out there doing it and they're doing it perfectly.

This song is from Electric, produced by Rick Rubin. To get them in the right space before recording Rubin used to get them together and listen to AC/DC. Many years later Ian Astbury took on singing for the Doors.
Love your comment as I'm an aussie who loves our local music but The Cult and The Doors are my favourite international bands. Got to meet Ian back in the 90's when they toured here and have a signed poster which is proudly hung in my music room.
@@shimsladey3227 wow! What was he like? My uncle got to meet him actually back in the 90s or 00s I believe. He even wrote a poem for Ian and he really liked it. Seemed like a nice guy. They are extremely talented for sure. I was never much of a Doors fan but I do really appreciate his singing style. Just powerful!
@@Sc0teeBe318 He was a pretty cool cat. Mega chilled but the thing that surprised he's only a little fella and shorter than me and I'm only 5'6". I got the poster signed when he came into my work when I was at Billabong after they played the BDO festival on the Gold Coast plus he gave me a signed copy of the album that had just come out. The one with the black goat on it. He also put some of us from Billys names on the door for their gig in Brizzy and got to hangout backstage later. Unbelievable night and couldn't believe I got to have a beer with one of my idols. He actually fronted The Doors of the 21st so there's another link between the two bands.
@@shimsladey3227 , You must have met an Ian Astbury impersonator. He's 5'10. Look it up. I met him in Biloxi in 2013 or 14, he was outside of the tour bus and was admiring my Retro Triumph Motorcycle, Billy Duffy rides Triumphs too. Ian was taller than me and I'm 5'9.
Saw them open up for Billy Idol! 1987. promoting their new album!
You can‘t help getting in the groove with that undeniably foot-stomping, head-banging AC/DC vibe. 🤘🤘
I am hearing the same thing. They really pull something to out of acdc playbook.
Almost sounds like you shook me All night Long doesn't it? Who cares though? Two great bands one great song I'm in heaven!
This never gets old, quintessential hard rock! The CULT rocks for ever on!
Probably the most underrated real rock band of all time. Sonic Temple and Electric are on my top ten albums list.
Also under rated are The Gun Club.
If Ian had been born in Memphis, he would have been one of the greatest blues singers of all time.
Some bands are so powerful and banging, they are a part of that file of music no one wants to compete with. The Cult is one of those bands.
Those was the days. The world was just where it needed to be .
A am 51 years and love this music
These guys were ahead of their time. Awesome.
The Pomp and bombast combined with the chops to pull it off. Fantastic band with some "get the fuck up and rock" songs. One of the reasons I have hearing aids today.
Can't get enough of that song. That band is pretty amazing.
After all these years Still Outstanding 🤘
One of the best live bands of all time.
A club called Visage in Orlando, played goth and stuff! Whenever they played The Cult, everyone would start shouting and running to the dance floor. Those days were some of the best!
Mojosfire I vaguely remember this experience.
Yes same here at the raves here in DFW back in the 80's and early 90's when they were real raves
what are some good goth bands? my gf loves goth stuff but I'm into hard rock and alternative music like this.
Oh my God what a blast from the past. I saw Jane's Addiction at Visage in the late 80's.
@@squash2097 Some goth bands i recommend are Bauhaus, Christian Death, Clan of Xymox, Siouxsie and The Banshees, The Sisters of Mercy, Dead Can Dance, Mephisto Walz, The Frozen Autumn, The Mission, Lebanon Hannover, The Cure, Alien Sex Fiend, Killing Joke, Specimen, She Past Away, Motorama and The Cult's first two albums and their material of Death Cult and Southern Death Cult.
Hey guys I really don't understand why people gives dislike to this classical rock of my favorites bands.
Its an offence.
Thank you Ian Astbury and your friends band for your great job.
Thank you so much from Brazil and now in United Kingdom.
🇧🇷🇬🇧
Straightforward Riff, very little reverb, great vocals. Perfect rock song.
+Gary H Very well put. AC/DC has the patent on it......
I just told my wife the same thing 5 minutes ago. Very much the AC/DC formula..but it sounds like The Cult, not AC_DC. Think for a minute how hard it would be to write a 2 or 3 chord riff based around a basic blues-rock pentatonic scale and to arrange it in a way that its instantly recognizable. Now imagine writing 4 or 5 songs like that. Imagine how The Beatles did that on nearly every song on every album, roughly 2 albums per year for 10 years. That is staggering when you think about it
Quit analyzing and just listen the God damn song and let it run through you
