Billy Duffy = Guitar God - if it weren't for him, I'd never have given up the money for my first car and bought a Gretsch white falcon (his guitar in this video)
Jamie's bass-playing was always so smooth and, especially in the early days (death cult/dreamtime) had some great fill-playing - having played guitar in Ritual, it probably came naturally. On that note, I heartily advise checking them out; a sorely forgotten but great early goth band :)
this is one of my favourite Cult's performance!!!! They're incredibles and Ian is really really amazing.....HE'S THE BEST ROCK SINGER IN THE WORLD!!!! I LOVE THIS SONG and this live version is incredible......and look at Ian.....what can I say....about his look.???but I know all this is God's gift......Thank you Jesus!!!!
Notice the bruise on Astbury's right cheek? Legend has it that Nigel Preston knocked him out during a rehearsal a few days earlier. This must have been about their last TV appearance with Preston, 'cause its just before they recorded "She Sells Sanctuary", and by the time they shot the video for that he was out of the band. Great drummer. RIP.
@ElectricLabel A question, I know that Preston was dead in a car accident, when his car crashes against a light pole or something... He abandoned the band before that? Thanks
agreed, everyone in this performance was fantastic. i can remember this, i've still got it on video in the loft somewhere. even the whistle is a nice touch. cant get any better than this
What does Ian have in his mouth? He took it out before he started to sing and then it was back in again?
I love Ian! I've been to many concerts over the years and only two bands caused the crowds to move. Korn - everyone was jumping up and down - and The Cult were everyone was swaying to and fro. Everyone HAD to move w/ the beat...very cool
Amazing single.
