yeah like the main ladyboy mikey jackson and that shit music he started. all the syncro dance turd shows... madonna etc and then the hip hop mierda...
It's a sus4 chord (twice) instead of a 6sus4 aka I/IV and the accents are different, otherwise I hear ya. The other was Wild Flower a more direct ripoff of AC/DC's Rock and Roll Singer. They make a different song of it and Ian does a different melody and chorus. The rest is a different effort. Do the Stones measure up?
Aside from rocking the joint, these guys looked liked true rock stars. I'm sorry, but long hair, leather and boots make a powerful statement. Rock n roll should look as aggressive, primal and stylish as it sounds. The rock of today is just pansy boy lame with no element of danger or sensuality. God, I miss the 80s and 90s.
I agree! Rock is about kicking ass not pitch perfect lip syncing and choreography. if a hot young female pop star comes on I just turn down the tv volume put on a Led Zep CD. today's music is useless!
ocfixed, thanks for that awesome image! Nowadays, kids just blast Lil Crap and other bullshit and act like the Gotti Boys!!! Pathetic. God, bring back true rock n' roll!
i notice some ppl talking about gnr and y they were more sucesful than the cult, ive pondered this myself but ive heard an excuse being slashs guitar, but honestly if any of u have ever listened to ceremony, and in cases some songs on sonic temple billy shreds!! on the song earth mofo he rips it up and i think faster than anything ive heard slash do...
The audience was F****ing dead!!!! I would be going crazyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!! Then at 03:18 he says: Last chance to boogieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
I'd say GNR were influenced by The Cult, not ripping them off. Electric era-cult and GNR launched at around the same time, so I don't see how they really could have had a chance to do any major ripping off :). GNR actually opened for The Cult in 1987 for a small tour. Interesting you mention Soundgarden because they ended up opening for GNR on a tour a few years later :).
soundgarden open for gnr in the 90s ,in Miami new years eve, I see how Gnr rip these people off ,same sound , different front man ,vocals. its sad after all these years , so obvious, way overlooked.
I don't think Guitar soloing has anything to do with why they didn't bocome as huge. They got ripped off by Guns n roses period! I saw both bands and the Cult blew GNR away! I think the same way about Soundgarden. They should have made it before Nirvana but Nirvana beat them to it somehow even though Soungarden was before. It's wierd really.
Part of the reason why they weren't as big as G'n'R is that Billy Duffy isn't much of a lead player. Great at building up a big texture sound with fx, great at catchy riffs but he never really got the flashy solo thing down...
God, Ian is on fire. so underrated as a frontman. there's plenty of good modern music today if one is dedicated to going out and finding it, but rarely are there frontmen with his kind of energy.
Alot of people don`t know Ian actually toured with the remaining (LIVING) members of the Doors a few years back, as the Doors. I caught a show in Chicago and it was phenominal. Other than cutting his hair, he did not try to be Jim. Just did a great show! One of the best performers in our lifetime.
there's a reasojn Astbury was one of the finalists for the part of the doors movie because he actually was part of "The New Doors" band which was the original members of the doors with him as singer. So if he can sing the songs like morrison it stands to reason he would be able to act out his character.
W/ Billy Idol and Great Performance, Ive seen them twice (once in 1988 W/ Billy Idol and in 2001) and they always put on a great show !! Great Rock band.
