The Cult - She Sells Sanctuary (Tibet Benefit)

[cynDEEthia]

Im still looking at it!!

[cynDEEthia]

i thought i knew sexy....until now.......

[WinteRest49]

Does anyone know if this Tibet Benefit version of "She Sells Sanctuary" is available on CD? 'Couldn't believe it when I first heard it. 'Shades of Morrison with the stage persona.

[hazelennis]

yummy

[LolavonLandsfeld]

What a performance! Ian is just without beyond comparison!

[1974leonardo]

avesome, beautiful, pure rock

[MrMIchaelSaint]

[73Calirobo]

[ytrs]

I love The Doors and the Cult also the Tea Party .Jim Morrison definately left his legacy in these bands *Cheers*

[lorettakeane]

[scumgod13]

@kmlinkous Then he got Fat!

[ACERAMGAD]

waytoFREEDOM!



[Erinseeking]

Ian Astbury is on FIRE here! What a great performance by an awesome band!!

[mlong1954]

This bass player has nothing on Jaime Stewart. The Cult lost more than they know when he left!

[mlong1954]

About half way thru the song. Ian steps back and says, "don't fuck it up". Who is he talking to?......

[LolavonLandsfeld]

Great performance! Ian at his best!

[radialaxis]

"In Tibet you'll find sanctuary."

[biodot88]

Is it me or do they seem completely gorked on blow?

[scottierockett]

ian astbury is jim morrison reincarnated!! the cult is an awesome band and have enjoyed many, many years of their music.

[FudgeYerself]

Kicks Butt !

[panciomrc]

Go Ian Go!

[danilatham]

@NonSampled  he is ENGLISH!!!!

[MrCarvinWetlands]

"thank you, thank you very much. why, thank you...THANK YOOOUUU!!!!" :o you can clearly hear the word substitution in thank here. haha

[enliven20]

Y THANK UUUUOOO!!! The end of that song cracks me up,Astbury is a nutter,wicked!!! The band played awesome at this concert,and Ian was at one if his best,his voice is awesome on Sanctuary n Love Removal Machine,looked like Ian was really enjoying the performance......

[loadandcharge]

ALWAYS SOUNDS GOOD!!!!

[paddy9i99]

I think they should do a Benefit concert . . just for this lame fucking audience

[Kelly14UK]

Is there no end to Astbury's energy? lol!

[8d4o0c4]

Well, he certainly looks better here than he did in the original video. The song is outstanding, but the original video always makes me think of Dead or Alive (with better music). :)

[davinciyeager]

Love the energy in this, makes me smile

[mcbtex]

THAAAANK YOOOUUUUU !!!!!

[johnnybegood757]

What the fuck!! This guy is looking good for his age, I was thinking of an older fat guy who's tellin' everywhere how populair he was in the eighties! But he is well consurved, and looking like morrison indeed! (sorry, i wrote no english for a long time...)

[MrMutsy]

@johnnybegood757 and stil he can say how populair he was:P

[salinagrrrl69]

Looks like a gig in Britonia somewhere

[deeceeba1]

I just love this band, and this song is awesome. thanks for posting the video!

[Tarten46]

25 years latter it still makes me dance my ass off ...my kids know to get the hell out of my way as soon as they hear the begining foreplay.I cant help it just sorta happens

[sneakyfreakyg]

@Tarten46 feel exactly the same way it is imposible to sit still to this song :)

[markyncole]

He looks more like Joe Perry and Steven Tyler mixed.

[DianaL43]

I will never get tired of listening to these guys Love them from the beginning and forever Oh yaaaaaaaaaa ........... Cheers!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[captaincomputa]

Who gives a shit what he looks like,its the music that matters you bunch of gays

[franklyamy]

Ian A was looking really well, and he is singing not screaming - nice footage!!! Love the waviness too

[karp1941]

@franklyamy they really sound good on this number !!!!!!

[snowleopard2317]

Gimme a lock of his hair......MAN!

[greezil428]

DDDDDDDDDDAAAAAAMMN

[Aphrodizzle]

Love the performance ...

On another note, Ian is looking especially sexy here and thank God Billy got away from those mullet cuts!

[blaster1985]

A particularly inspired rendition of a great song!

[666LOKI999]

After all these years....they still rock!

[WENCHY101]

@666LOKI999 They sure do! I just saw them for the 3rd time. This last show (September 2010) was by far the BEST! All of the times I've seen them have been excellent too :)

[TheLizardKing1967]

" Ian does look alot like me in this video. I am 66 and he is what, 48 ? Damm music sure has changed since the late 60's " . Jim Morrison

[donnjuansohn]

@TheLizardKing1967 Freak xD

[TheLizardKing1967]

@donnjuansohn . I am a FREAK. A FREAK of nature, 12 inches long. Ride the snake to the lake. LMAO

[ybot1983]

To think of all those that put their faith in GnR

[riverplate0101]

Singer looks like Fernando Redondo and the guitar player like David Beckham.

[Bansidhe]

@riverplate0101

Careful there mate. Billy Duffy (the guitar player) is a big Manchester City Fan.

[complet3turnip]

what the hell spain is the best team

[wysiwyg248]

I feel so sorry for the next band that played there...LOL

[NoRulesInNam]

Lol @ him reciting the lyrics from Doin' It by LL Cool J.

[bunkerdod]

billy rules!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[katjangpedisss]

They are great! In this vidio Ian is sexy :-)

[baldrickchich]

Fucking brill, i saw them live in Hammersmith odean years ago

[andrejouellette]

I believe in a prolonged derangement of the senses.

-Jim Douglas Morrison

[bigegg7170]

ian has never got the recognition he deserved

[bizchazlien]

Holy crap, he really does look like Jim Morrison here! I thought he did a pretty good job when he was singing with The Doors awhile back but nobody will ever BE Jim Morrison! Ian Astbury is one hell of a singer!

[cemeterytan]

I saw this on Reverb in probably 99 or 2000, and it was the first time I'd ever heard them. It'll always be my favorite version of the song.

[1488bill]

Mr Mojo Risin reincarnated....I'm serious.

[robert2607]

check them out when they were southern death cult

[luciferianswillfall]

See the symbolism in the background? When you find out what these symbols mean you will know who they worship. Their name for the band is fitting.

[iatemine]

@luciferianswillfall eh...Thats the Tibetian Flag...

[luciferianswillfall]

@iatemine Yes! Through the symbolism one can tell who their influences are (countries, organizations, bands, etc.) Peace.

[markfoot]

Heard a couple of live version, but this is the first one that rocks. maybe its becuz Jim morrisson is singing :D LOL

[Red40Wings13]

I will never get tired of this song. One of my favorite songs of all time by any band.

[Milfchaser1]

@Red40Wings13  I agree 100%.

[ACERAMGAD]

@Red40Wings13 Yayeh..I've been playing it for 26 years and counting!!!! It never gets old!!!! I think I've played this song more than any other song I've ever heard!

[jimmy5150ify]

@Red40Wings13 Yep! and they always do it justice live, too!

[ACERAMGAD]

GLORY!!!!!!!!!

[ACERAMGAD]

@Red40Wings13 Amen!!!!!!!!

[Toxicmoe]

@Red40Wings13  Seen them at the Filmore last year. I hope they come back this year

[scrumpies01]

I would just like to say this band rocks -no poltics-they started out new wave. saw 'em at the fox in detroit warm'n up for guns and roses in '87. seen abazillion concerts this one raanks up with the best. yes they were still in white face

[GuitarGuy5000000000]

@scrumpies01 That's awesome that you saw them in '87, but that would have been GNR opening for the CULT not the other way around! The Cult practically discovered and gave birth to GNR!

[jhgosnell]

awesomeness

[SweetRaven64]

LOVE> this band. It could be a full time job to watch Ian. ☺

[FarmerHendri]

The coolest fucking song ever written.

[wnmarchetti]

Ian Astbury, sem dúvida o cara é um dos 10 melhores vocais da história



[dayrun2010]

It ain't fried, it's Shake and Bake!

[GrandmaJenkins1]

wooooooooo Jim!

[lssah2025]

Seen them over 10 times in concert since 1986, loved seeing Ian play in Riders of the Storm, that was a great concert....Can't wait to see them again, since they are back together......"The Doors" no 1 and "The Cult" no 2, with Ian playing in both....awesome man....

[Larry1774]

Damn that's the best version I ever heard. Absolutely blistered it!

[mzmagz666]

He is so beautiful!

[andxx0r]

Wow, they were really on that day! Great performance.

Though, it is really odd seeing Billy play this song without the big white Gretsch. I think this is the only time I've seen him play this song on the Les.

[Ellektrikaa]

jim's back

[ThuXthetrooper]

0:44 he IS Jim Morrison o.o

[twasbrillig33]

Where'd they find Jim Morrison?  =]

[mcbtex]

GOD DAMN !!!

[brunaco75]

24 de Julio de 2010, Valencia. !!!! I can´t wait !!!!!! I love the cult, since i was a child, and i´ve seen them 5 times live. Now im 35, and i still excited with this concert like when i was 16, this only could do it the cult!!!!!!!

[Hoogleish]

High fives back matey. My all time fave band too.

[ACinDorset]

Almost 300,000 views !! Oh yeah. 300,000 bits of happiness out there.

[dedkat69]

Saw these guys in '95 and a gain a month or two back, absolutely amazing. Haven't lost it at all. Billy is friggen amazing!

[MrsKretschmann]

This song is so beautiful and it makes me feel just a little bit more hopeful when I'm feeling shitty.

Ian Astbury is a GOD. <3 <3 <3 <3

[532bluepeter]

That's NOT a gretsch white falcon.

[paokg4g4]

και γαμω τα ασματα !!!!!!!!!!!κορυφαιοι .one of the best rock group EVER

[littlequeenie99]

Well Ian love, I don't know if it's a fashion move forward to go from Geronimo to a fat Jim Morrison, but what ever suits ya, mate. Am glad to see you are doing something for the indigenous people of Tibet. Much love-

[CelticWarrior1971]

Ian Astbury kind of reminds me of Jim Morrison there. Anybody else kind of see it?

[dja51]

@CelticWarrior1971

You are so right!!!

[insomnex1]

Los putos amos!!

[blertoly]

love it, always have. The Cult are awesome and this is my fav song by 'em.

[elpolarbear]

I caught them last August in Seattle and they rocked!

[JudahDG]

This was from '99, he sounds awesome.

11 years later I'm not sure if I'd want to see them now. Has anyone seen them recently?

[Bansidhe]

@JudahDG

They still put on a great rock n roll evening. Ian's voice range has obviously narrowed a bit over the years and he doesn't jump around as much (owing partly to a dodgy back) but it's still great. Duffy is still a hugely underrated player and always throws the shapes onstage.

[exteriorzulu09]

@JudahDG ...seen him front the doors about 2 years ago in dublin....one of the best gigs i,ve ever seen.pulls off morrison well.

[elpolarbear]

@JudahDG

I saw them last August in Seattle and they were excellent!

[psychocandyshop]

@JudahDG They're still a top-class act live. Saw SDC and The Cult in the 80s. Seen them more recently - three times in 2008, and performing "Love" last year - and they still put on a fantastic show.

[psychocandyshop]

@JudahDG They're still a top-class act live. Saw SDC and The Cult in the 80s. Seen them more recently - three times in 2008, and performing "Love" last year - and they still put on a fantastic show.

[KDub1963]

@JudahDG I saw them about 2 yrs ago in L.A. at the Wiltern Theater. Have to say...it was one of their most rockinest gigs ever! Seen them every time they've played in L.A. and around...it was a great show. The crowd was absolutely on fire too! It's great when that happens...it's like all the rock stars in heaven are aligned for that night.  Sweeeet!

[MAGENDY]

AHhh..4 EVER MY GREAT PASSION.....THE CULT \mm/

[ddaavveemaster]

It is very hard to sing. The Cult 4 ever.

[tomamife]

THEY ARE KICKING MY MIND ALL TIME WITH THIS SONG!!!! THE BETTER DRUGSS!! 3:49 a 3:53 CRAZYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!! YEAAAAAHHH

[fufarose]

He's turned into Jim Morrison,now that's HOT.

[scotsmaninusa]

@fufarose well he is the singer of the Doors now as well as being the Cults front man

[exteriorzulu09]

@fufarose ...ye he`s the lead singer of the doors now aswell as the cult.does the doors tunes very well

[spudsucker]

[aussieangie]

[bigmaxy07]

[cisco9x]

Ian Astbury = Jim Morrison + Steve Tyler

[BIGJUDGE1975]

[cisco9x]

@BIGJUDGE1975 well spotted, you got me

[cultation1]

[pbayuser]

Sanctuary Hey!

High 5 KDub

[davyro66]

ive always loved the cult,but fucking hell man when they play live they just blow me away,fucking awesome

[zx7rtas]

I wonder if he has had plastic surgery to model Jim Morrison,one could be excused for thinking they are watching the Doors on some really good drugs!!!!!lol

[leedfoot]

He favors Jim Morison

[springyatzy]

the ian Ashdury yeahhh, as allways :D THX this is så fucking great music , love it, hear it, digg it wanna share toe poor everybody who havent  ;)))))))) <3

[celtica99]

This band is raw sex

[cookamidgera]

Fucking great!!!!!!!!

[blondeoverseaswithiq]

Coming to New Zealand in May 2010.. Word..

AWESOME!

[adrunkcalledotis]

Who is the second guitarist, on the bassist's side of the stage?

[Bansidhe]

@adrunkcalledotis

Mike Dimkich. He's played rhythm guitar in the band for a few years now.

[nath8282]

the singer looks like a cross between Jim Morrison and Steven Tyler in this video. This band and those two mid eighties rock albums are sooooo underated. I think the most underated bands of the 80's were The Cult, Tesla and Janes Addiction.

[angiepompey]

I went to see tis band live, None of my mates wanted to come so I went alone. Brilliant.

Andrea.

[ChineapplePunk]

good for you andrea, I bet you had the best time ever!

[FLORENT2222]

change of friends !!!! ;-)

[elstaaa]

ian astbury sings like an amputee

[miisu]

Wtf are you talking about !!?? He completely rocks.

[appledecca]

I heard on the Grapevine They are TOURING North AmeriCa Now ! Thank YOU ..

[davidscott40]

You heard right...they are. Looking & sounding better than ever

[Katacus]

damn that was good

[SuperDemonguy]

does anyone know the date of this show?

[340414]

was in 1999!

[SuperDemonguy]

@340414 thanks very much ^_^

[LastBulletMusic]

Hey!

If you guys like The Cult then you should check us out.

We're a straight Rock band from Toronto called Last Bullet.

; )

[term7599]

no way you suck

[owlrun]

You can tell that Billy is overjoyed with Ian's performance!  Check 1:56. This was a good day for the Cult and Ian. Pure rock n roll.

[livejaime]

Tecumseh and Llollowaysika would have said that in her you'll find the Sanctuary. My take on that is that in them we find what we really are!!!

[Dealit707]

"THE..........CULT !!!!!!!

[CFFCthecultCFFC]

Ian's so fucking good looking here!!

Yumm!!

CFFC!
