I love it! People love to talk shit, cause they hear this on Youtube, but if they were actually there live, enjoying it like the rest of us, they'd have a change of heart for sure. They are amazing live! One of the best live bands ever.
Haven't lost any of their original energy. I figure Astbury must've just wanted a break from the hair. I can empathsize in Florida. Thank you cultfollower.
Hey just saw your comment even though its a year old.People with small fucking minds and no idea tend to mock or criticise things they dont understand-In this case Ian Astbury...assholes everywhere these days..nice post butterfly.Bump thisthread and lets get rid of the ignorant pricks who wouldnt know a decent band if it smacked em in the head...
well, TRAmPLdUNdRfOoT, let us all play our songs exactly as we recorded them for all time. would that suit you? better yet, why don't you stay at home and wank off to the record and spend less time studying drums and more time playing them. it is obvious you have never toured or played live shows years after a song was written. idiot.
The show was not that great. The place was smallish and didn't sell out, and the crowd wasn't too crazy. Seems like Ian felt almost insulted, and he really didn't put much into the gig.
It sounds almost exactly the same each time they do it live...the guitar is different than in the recording, the drums don't come in right after the first guitar part, and does 4th high hats instead of 8ths...
i bet u that u would have loved it if u were there to listen to the proper thing live, it always sounds better when your actually there in the atmosphere
I must beg to differ w/ you on this, although I was not at this show. I saw them perform 6 months before this particular show in Boston and I must say I've never seen Ian and Billy interact so fraternally w/ each other and the audience in 20+ years of seeing them play out live. Hopefully what you saw was just a fluke off night for them. They are best hard rock band in the world...CFFC!
Nice to see they got the sense to get a second guitar player to fill out the sound.I remember hearing them in the early 1990's and they were just awful whihc was a shame cos they ahve many great songs.This sounds good!
Great Video! Thanks! Question for Cult fans: I saw The CUlt in Leeds a few days ago and Jamie Stewart (original Bassist) was up in the Balcony watching wistfully and looking really ill - then he left looking sad. Anyone know what is wrong with him?
My favorite number by the Cult.

The rest of the band rocked though...

So fucking what? it's their song and they can play it any way they want to. Go take your Prozac. I think you got some obsessive cumpulsive disorder.

Having seen this band in concert. One can sense an uneasy tension between these guys. The rhythm guitarist is utterly ignored.
When you leave,you KNOW who the two stars are of this group, which is understandable, BUT you expect a fight to breakout at any moment.

The rest of the band are like guests on the stage man...the cult is: ASTBURY-DUFFY

They're the 2 original members, aren't they? I could be wrong, but it seems like everyone else is interchangeable.
