THE CULT - Hellfest 2011 -

[shkotay]

Damn :D He sounds about the same after all this time lmao :D Right on!

We cant expect the same moves as he did in the 80s lol, but the heart and fire is there :D The video doesnt capture the sound perfectly but I liek it anyway :D

[djian35]

la mejor vanda....gracias ian asbury

[thevillainable]

I agree, let them be....they were a victim in a way, their style was completely self-distructive,and they arrived at a time when no one "in charge" knew what to do with them. I saw them in Memphis in the mid 90's, and, after hearing how average they were live, thought it was the greatest show I had ever seen. It had mostly to do with the feeling of the music, that's it. And the sheer power of it. It was great.

[daisydudu]

Bet if he shaved the beard and wrapped that old bandana round his head he'd look a bit more like his old self.......

[Laynefreeborn]

Hey, guess what? hes still alive and can sing....so let it be

[ttysas]

Im kinda feelin a little old right now.

[PooleyX]

Ian looks like an old, fat Dave Grohl (with a more embarrassing pretend American accent than ever) and Billy looks like Gordon Ramsey. The music is INCREDIBLY tame. They are clearly just going through the motions for the money.

Time to give it up lads - while you still have modicum of dignity left.

[frog33chev]

man ! who shot this vid? this is the worst ! its a disgrace tothe cult !!!!!

[nw11]

hey guys chill out when i slagged them off.i did because of their appearance and certainly not because of their music.

[mikky57]

Ahh this great, they sound awesome, good job on the video too mate, thank you for sharing.

[islaeve100]

age is a terrible thing.

[reedsintn]

Dude somebody give the rhythm guitar player a freakin sandwich! No seriously, he's looks like a he hasn't eaten. Ever! Love the Cult

[TheLukilmer]

I think that drummer has more energy than the sun. I have had these guys pumping my ears full of bad ass rock-n-roll since 85. Keep it up brothers!!!

[nursecracker]

Always thought Ian looked like a combo of Steven Tyler and Jim Morrison; he rocking the bearded Morrison look; he will always be sexy and has a voice that can carry these tracks off; they have a new album coming out...

[thewhiteelephant]

Seriously? You kids are going to make comments about their appearance? It's no surprise that today's "artists" are superficial American Idol products.

[nw11]

Billy Duffy looks like a fat old version of David Beckham

[slipslapsloppy]

@nw11 and you look like a twat

[slipslapsloppy]

@nw11 Actually I take that back - a twat with the intellect of a 14 year old!

[slipslapsloppy]

@nw11 just after lunch over here mate - the world has different time zones. At least you achieved something today - learned a new thing. Well done.

[80sMetallion]

@nw11 The funny thing though is that he would still kick the shit out of a little punk ass bitch like yourself.

[nw11]

@80sMetallion

Fuck you are a bit mental fella,punk ass bitch?yes and so

who is your father?do you know at least

[nw11]

Quite a poor performance,bad.

[jyoung0000]

@nw11 Imagine doing these performances 1000's of times! You would get exhausted after a while of singing the same thing over and over. That is a little secret about being in a band and I don't hold it against them.

[nw11]

@jyoung0000

I totally agree fella,nevermind what they look like the music is always excellent.

[lemsdarkapprentice]

Great to see The Cult still kicking ass and taking names in 2011! Many thanks for posting this.

[officialjbbeverley]

No one stays young forever... Ian may be aging like the rest of us, but he can still out-sing most 25 year olds..

[themachman19691]

Merseyside lad through and through

[bozo47p]

ian still great and still rocks....he;s 50 years old man...what the hell do you want him to look like...geez... I just turned the big 50 myself ... everything changes...everything slows down ...thats life man

[MrMpm1966]

shit, has he been in sweden, i love this man since a long time ago, shit, my hair is like his

[afinecity1]

why he's speaking with an american accent fucking idiot

[stryder10171]

Elvis Costello on rhythm guitar?

[romedayandnight]

@stryder10171 yes, hard rock was the only musical genre he has not played until that night

[paranoidnutter]

everyone seems to want to have a comment on youtube, so we have loads of dumb fuckers who know nothing, posting nothing worth a wank from their nothing lives, load of vacuous glitter balls with shit for brains and the taste of a dead poodle, leave this to those who love them and fuck off

[REVENGEPRODUCTIONful]

fuck off haters the cult rock, rock n roll and metal are the same. ians voice is amazing an image aint about the music so go listen to bon jovi u fucks

[xadiko69]

whaaat he cant sing ? he is fat ? he is old ? what do you mean ? they are THE CULT and I forgive them everything they still kick ass .................

[SuperParousia]

The Cult é a auêntica banda de Rock Roll dos anos 80 e 90 e hoje só ouvimos lixo.

[Aazhyd]

Ian looks unrecognizable. And I wish the camera man focused a bit more on Billy. Still a great guitar player.

[TheJaypalm]

Holy...is that John Tempesta on drums? That guy gets everywhere! The Cult may not have felt in place on a predominantly metal bill, but that guy is in his element!

[dictator54]

fuk his voice is shot i don't know wat ya'll ar smokin but it must be good

[TheEdneivieira]

avisa pro cara que filmou que o solo é do billy duff

[hardstijl]

greatest band in great brittannie

[gipbmac1]

They just keep getting better and better!!! CFFC!!!

[Culedigital]

Electric Ocean... Incredible song. THE CULT still rocks. They rule as G'N'R but they were more popular.

[gemaawutzje]

Ian looks a bit fat, or is it just the jacket? However, this looks cool also.

[scottysbabymama]

in this vid...he reminds me of a long haired jim morrison.....AWESOME LIVE FOOTAGE....AND OF COURSE...HE CAN STILL CARRY A TUNE.....too friggin cool to see him now....after all these years of not being able to....whoever posted this gets a lifetime of thank you notes.....

[rockcityaudio]

shit what has happened to him!poor guy is obviously fighting demons,very intelligent and sensitive guy.is it like what they say,the pain is in the poetry?.

[OzzyGimenez]

Great vid! Thanx!



[bradh716]

Why would anyone name an event Hellfest? That's silly.

[Matt44648]

pourquoi il on tout casser a la fin ?

[southside721]

Badass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MsBabster]

Ian your from bloody Bradford ffs why the septic accent..thought you had passed that stage 25 years ago.

[sp85sl]

shoot the dumbfuck trying to run the camera for christsakes !!!!!!!!!!!!! - keeps showing the no name rythym guitar when Duffy is kickin

[XXXVideoVomit]

@sp85sl haha - he can't even find him. You should know your musical instruments before trying to film a show.

[MrBrennergott]

der hammer

[ICTSRB]

Only the cult know what rock is. For me the best

[Firewoman888]

I could get his ass back in good shape in 3 months, no problem.

[Firewoman888]

Love Removal Machine

[70sforever1]

Hey, when did they get Elvis Costello on rhythm guitar?

[laryark]

So Cool!!!

[Mockingbird5150]

Ian looks cool. Great Band.

[ivanjullit]

why people keep comparing Ian with Jim Morrison?? Despite the fact he was a huge inspiration for him, Ian is a million times better in all senses than Morrison. Up Ian and The cult forever!!

[Funckinnutcase]

@ivanjullit Please dude...get off the drugs. I love Ian and saw him live with what's left of The Doors. He's phenomenal but he doesn't even compare to Jim Morrison. Nobody ever will. Saying Ian is better just makes you sound stupid.

[fatfender48]

Ian's long hair kicks ass. Still has his voice too.

Long live the Cult.

[TheHammerheart]

Ian looks like a badass. Who's saying negative stuff about him?

[BlackishMetalish]

@TheHammerheart Yeah, that's one guy nobody better talk s&*# to me about, either, hee...

[hopethisisthelast]

This is what rocking out is. Awesome.

[regardingwave]

They need a background vocalist for backup-i offer my services!! Damn he looks like Jim Morrison!!

[regardingwave]

They need a background vocalist for backup-i offer my services!!

[Katitha0216]

The Cult, love, love forever !!!!

[bsouthe]

they sound amazing!!!

[Zezix72]

What a great band. Forunatelly for us they got back on the road. Love removal machine, Rain, and others are immortal!

THE CULT Ladies and gentlemen!

[Lightdancer58]

He will always be beautiful to me, I have just as much love for the old videos as the new ones. I'll bet his sons resemble him too. He has a lot to say about life...he bothered to search the world for truth of life, didn't he? That's the best part...knowing he is not shallow.

[tacomadc]

When I listen to the Cult I'm just blown away how great the drummer and bassist are - just great too.

[666marquis]

Actually Ian bulked up and looked like this around the time of Electric. Check the video for Wildflower. He does look more like late period Morrison all the time....

[0431736]

Fuck yeah!

[nobbilc]

American accent ? Nooooooo !!

[SpencerRoxx]

Does anyone know the name of the chick playing rhythm guitar?

[SpencerRoxx]

Is that Ann Wilson singing?

[emf665]

He looks A LOT like last Morrison's days..

[proileri]

A lot better than his old bandana-douchebag look, if you ask me.

[benhandkarenh]

Of course he's put on a few pounds, he's got Gordon Ramsey on lead guitar! Seriously though, still brilliant as ever regardless of weight.

[gordongate]

@benhandkarenh now you come to mention it, there is an uncanny resemblence.

[SpencerRoxx]

He is Fat!!!!

[Sanchez110]

Never mind Astbury ol' Duffers been at the pies as well.!!

[unadanger]

Ian rules, voice is golden!

[jonsilence]

Wait a minute, thats Myles Kennedy! Where's Slash? Kill the ghost!

[Fuchfam4]

I wish Ian still had his pipes, but nothing lasts forever.

Long live the Cult!

[econnofoot]

looks like fat ass jim morrison he took the role to heart i guess

[econnofoot]

ian totally pussed out

[neuregel]

ian looks like shit

[paulj0557]

Look at all of the likes @youtube Why don't you feature this? Or are you kids too young to know real music when you hear it?

[BANDACOBRACRIADA]

fuck y eah! man! this band make me feel alive !!!!!!!!!!! still in my veins!!!!! the cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­uuuuuuult!

[GFits]

The Cult = BAD-ASS

[Larnico2]

GREAT vid!! Rockin' band. Luv 'em forever!!

[BoyfromSevilla]

if the bands from the 70s and 80s end I'l kill myself. Haha, Ian looking badass, finally

[placeboeffecto]

omg..i miss the cult...thanks god they still around...

[Erinseeking]

I guess everyone who is commenting on Ian's appearance look like runway-ready models? Grow up, it's about the music, and the Cult STILL rock! (PS He is a beautful person inside and out to all you shallow people)

[CultFan666]

@Erinseeking Also remember the band arent exactly in their 20s any more. Not even their 40s!

So id say they look and perform pretty bloody well considering!

[ooonurse33]

@Erinseeking Jim Morrison if had survived would have looked much like him now...and yes hes the same artist he always was...a lot of people are critical jerks with nothing to show for their shallow lives...

[graemereaper]

@ooonurse33 I'm a tad worried that IA has become JM over the last few years after "having to be him" for the Doors revival gigs!

[mysterions13]

That's NOT Ian, I think it's 1977 FATT Elvis!!!

[gordongate]

fuck me Ians been hitting those pies hard since last year, he's a proper tubby and doesnt seem to have the stamina to sing here. Shame

[momosifco]

pas vu le concert les ai vus en 1991 1994 2009 je regrette vraimemt ian astbury jim morisson le meme chemin et dans les monsrers of rock

[PeeWeesGirlie]

And...Ian looks rad in those sunglasses.

[PeeWeesGirlie]

Love love love The Cult! :-)

[fistropecador14]

Ian is the Axl Rose of 2006, he does not wanna sing and looks like he does not care too much either. Come on!!! We fuckin need you back!!!

[CrazyTulip]

@fistropecador14 You're right about that - they used to be awesome!

[zapcity19]

great!

[Leezenkaline]

Thanks for posting, The Cult are still great!

[Fuzztonesliveshows]

thanks!!



[hampulator]

Blast from da past! \m/
