1984. I was 15. Took me a while to get a Billy Duffy meets Kirk Brandon haircut and could never afford the Gretsch but still, good times man, good times. Some would say The Cult ain't aged well? All I have to say is they've aged better than me! ;) Loads of links between The ( Southern ( Death ) ) Cult, Morrissey, Theatre of Hate / Spear of Destiny. Essential listening.
Look what happens to Ian in between his Native American and Pirate phases. It's like Michael Jackson and My Little Pony had a baby and Insane Clown Posse came out.
HOLY CHRIST! this is literallty one of my favorite clips in all of history ever. i got it from a friend in about 91 on a vhs with all sorts of other stuff. and ive seen alot of people upload on here. this is about 20x clearer than any other version i have ever seen. this is beautiful! i would love a copy of this whole performance and the southern death cult on the tube as well.
I have hit replay over and over...I think I am having a serious desire to go back to this time in life - great post -I miss the 80's and the music revolution bands like this brought about. I loved this band the most around this time and with the album LOVE.
This is such a good song for a 20 minute jam its giving me a chubby just thinkin about it....would you allow me to send a video response of me n my mates doin this?
they didnt decide to go "mainstream", they were grafters on the live circuit, and with the usual crap in the 80's- this lot shone through, love u ian astbury !!
This is my favorite video on you tube right now. The Cult fucking rocks! I could literally watch this over and over and over. What a great performance of this song. Really stirs the blood.
@JEREMYGOODBAND if it wasn't for The Tube (and Old Grey and Peely) none of these bands would even exist - that's all we had. And I wish we still had them
first time i saw the Cult they were support to killing joke @ the leadmill, sheffield frigging brilliant . i remember the neighbours complaining because i played them to loud . Play dead then supported them the year after, another good goth group of the eighties.
Ian's father was a diplomat for her Majesty's Foreign Affairs service. He therefore lived in Canada for some years and met local native Americans of whom he was clearly influenced by, musically and helped him have a whole new different perspective than what other English teens had at the time.
Jamie looks happy as h*((. Must have been taking some good stuff that night LOL! Ian is too serious and yeah he forgot the lyrics. Love the two bopsie twins with the teased died hair and the tall dude with the mohawk in the crowd. Gotta to have loved the early '80s.
I think Jamie was kind of known for being the 'sober' member of the group. It's not surprising that he's an advertising executive at a telecom these days. He managed to survive the 80s, I guess.

i've heard the Pre-Rubin mix of Electric (The Peace Album), and while I think over all, it is better then Rubin's Electric, I think if it would have been released back in the 80s, it wouldn't have been as successful. Like it or not, Rubin's Electric brought the Cult out of the UK and to the world.
hey tommy, can you hear me, this is Jan (Friday) 13th 1984, A slow slippery slide down to revolution and then rick ruben ruined it all. Oh the yankie dollar must have felt good. And its called progress
I like all Cult even Electric and Sonic Temple and the 90's. But the early stuff going back to Southern Death Cult was awesome. They were YEARS ahead of their time. I mean who was doing what they were doing in '83 and '84 with their overall flare, songs about Native American heritage (from a Brit band no doubt!), and Duffy's guitar style and sound focusing on delay?
Oh what is wrong about Americans and money! LOL! I am half joking when I write that as I am American and still think over here it's the closest thing to the land of opportunity unless the global socialists take over the world (their winning the war unfortunately right now but that might change).
Anyway screw the politics! Rubin did not ruin the Cult. The Cult's incarnations are great from Death Cult to Born into This. I respect their diversity in musical styles and overall artistry.
This is what it was all about back in the day. All this vampire crap was just that....crap. If you went about saying you wanted to be a vampire then that was enough to get you marginalised. I t was more sort of tribal.
t wasnt so much that you told people you wanted to be a vampire, the vamp look was cool even back then and everyone knew what you were hinting at but to admit it would be crude/gauche and incredibly uncool things although they didnt look it were a litlle bit more subtle in those days. they looked decadent but people were just too damn cool to bahave like some kind of lost boys fanboi
well done CGSdog!...but one day take your heart to Wounded Knee,will also help you to understand the difference between good & great, good medicine and bad, we are forever in THEIR debt for what we stole
Wow, great to see again the Southern Death Cult, in their cold wave/punk/goth days. I like them as Rock band, but I must admit still having a thing for their early records.
Wow, great to see again the Southern Death Cult, in their cold wave/punk/goth days. I like them as Rock band, but I must admit still having a thing for their early records.
The Cult , U2 and the Cure shared alot of the same elements that can be heard here or what do ya think ?
Obviously The Cult had the most COHONES-sound in their music though. That powerful feeling in their music+their precence makes you easily hooked on it and addicted... Fan for life.
This was early (May??)1984, less than a year after Death Cult formed. The band actually dropped the "Death" from the name before the show, to become just The Cult. Certainly one of the best live bands at the time.
This a great song! No matter what they did it was always cool. This might be considered 80's new wave, but for me it was just the cult maximising the sound's of the time with what they were doing. They were so ahead of themselves.
Actually, this is their first appearance as simply "The Cult". They had just dropped the "Death" from their name just before this video. This video is on their DVD anthology
This is one of the few Death Cult one to appear on Pure Cult (For rockers ravers lovers and Sinners) bloody legendary track, but i prefer the Later version, its more refined
Good stuff. You can really see that Astbury was channeling some of the Morrison mojo even then. You can also hear echoes of "She Sells Sanctuary" in the main riff. Cool look at the early Cult.
They were awseome as Southern Death Cult. Death Cult started the wind down, Cult was commercial shite, then Les Emu Warner joined and the rest is history :-)
hey! i went to nightmoves in the 80s too. what a club - top bands ( eg ausgang supporting sex gang) and beautiful people. ahem, well, mostly. ah, the memories...
loving it....only have 2 discs missing from my Cult collection after Electric...if anyone can help I am looking for Moya 7" and Gods Zoo 7"...would be most grateful and willing to pay a reasonable price.
Big Whoop to you too. I don't think that anyone here really cares about your stupid mindless insults. You're probably just a 'youtube instigator' anyway.
umm, i checked out your profile...you have videos by the pussycat dolls, queen and evanescence in your favorites, and you say i have no taste? you should be extremely embarrassed right now.
Monkey see monkey fucking do--come up with your own line of attack shit for brains. Try to remember that it was your stupid negativity that invited the attack. Got nothing positive to contribute, stay in your room and pretend to have a life.
They were originally the Southern Death Cult, then after a lineup change they became Death Cult, then finally The Cult. Most of Death Cults record was changed a bit and released as The Cult - Dreamtime.
The Cult will never perform the same again as it did with Preston

I dindn't know Spiritwalker was already written when they were still Death Cult, so i guess this song is even older than i thought. It's still great

Big Whoop to you too. I don't think that anyone here really cares about your stupid mindless insults. You're probably just a 'youtube instigator' anyway.

I checked out your profile-you have no taste obviously. Don't like the Cult-then go to another site asshole.

Monkey see monkey fucking do--come up with your own line of attack shit for brains. Try to remember that it was your stupid negativity that invited the attack. Got nothing positive to contribute, stay in your room and pretend to have a life.

They were originally the Southern Death Cult, then after a lineup change they became Death Cult, then finally The Cult. Most of Death Cults record was changed a bit and released as The Cult - Dreamtime.
