You've all heard Ian sing with The Doors right? Scary good. Creepy actually. He looks like Jim would look if he hadn't died at age 27. And it isn't just the Jim-like hairstyle. It's Ian's face, everything, and certainly his voice, Jesus, what a miracle this man was, is. I was 20 years old in 1985 and running around NYC nightclubs like a Gothic punk rocker tart, but I'm so sad to say I never saw The Cult live...:(
Saw them in 85' when they opened for Billy Idol, LA Colosseum and we went just to see The Cult. I hate f'ing Billy Idol (after gen-x anyways... ). Ian sucked wind the whole show, just like in this vid, out of breath all night long. Too much junk I guess??? Great songwriters yet lame performers...
Pathetic closet case. Spat homophobia from the stage then picked the cutest str8 guy out of the audience for later. Prancing in makeup is kinda out already, isn't it Ian?
@gregrocker2 What do you mean out--do you know how long ago he wore makeup? He has not worn make up for along time and who cares anyway--(he is brilliant and you apparently have issues with that). How rich are you off your talent? Lighten up Greg.......
@ThatRascal Nope. This is nothing past 1985, debut '86. After that time, the Electric look came fast. You should want to be sure of what you write before you commit yourself foolishly.
@patrickfiorilalonde, OK so I might have missed the year by 2 or 3 years. My point is that this is from the 1980s. gregrocker said " Prancing in makeup is kinda out already, isn't it Ian?" as if this is recent footage. This is one of the best songs off one of the best albums ever.
@ThatRascal Ok. Love is a fantastic album, one of the best, as you said. I kinda like Hollow Man more nowadays. I also like Dreamtime and Electric a lot. The magical effort stopped there for me, as after that, I felt comercialized more than entertained.
@300minus Mine got worn out too, it's available on c.d. and they have re -released it remastered and the sound is amazing on the re-mastered c.d. ,try amazon or Sacred Soul the Cult sanctuary:}
Besides their great music is their devoted fans. Even better those who really don't care for the Cult don't look for them on youtube. Its people like us ... and just look at all (mostly) the positive remarks. No dicks like with just about any other band. Seeing them in Boston this weekend. Long time coming because I hadn't seen em since Sonic Temple. ROCK!!!!!!!!
This is one of my fav Cult vids. Look at Ian's look at 2:58-3:01!!! Damn, they don't get any hotter than him. What sensuality and it comes through his music.
Ian's seduces the audience with this song- eye contact at 2:58- incredible. he moves as a sexy panther, engaging everyone with his music and moves.sexy beast...
Thanks for this post, it was filmed in my home town and a load of us were in the audience as we had all been into Southern Death Cult. We're all to the right of Astbury in front of Billy Duff. I interviewed Ian and jamie a couple of weeks later.
If you have anymore of the footage, it would be appreciated
i think this post deserves an absinthe salute, cheers
from the album love which was one of the most innovative original albums of the 80's to the blatant acdc type rock shit on their following album...never go my head around that.but wicked to see rhis post. good shit

Les Warner's drumming is a fine drummer, especially on the Electric album, but man would I love to see Mark Brzezicki playing this song!
