Heard the hits back in the day but never followed this band. Recently recorded this concert (out of curiosity) on my local concerts channel and was so impressed by the power and simplicity of this music. Reading the posts they are no doubt past their prime but could still kick it back in 2001. Now I just want to learn everything about them and their journey!
This is what I imagine it would sound like if Gary Busey was to sing, actually Ian is starting to look a lot like Gary and what is more his rambling at the end of this song also reminds me of a drug fucked Gary. Uncanny resembalance.
This song is from the early 90's. That phrase was from then. Thanks for understanding that he is an icon. But understand that he said that almost 20 years ago. Also look at the Rolling Stone review of this album. Nothing silly about this guy. When he says "this is where it all ends" he was right. One of the greatest rock records of all time. Bone up on yer shit kid. The Cult are amazing. No hard feelings. Just research and know yer stuff before you comment.
@cabinetgod360 I don;t have to "bone up" I am 50 years Old. The Cult was one of My favorite Bands when They , and I were in My prime. I was a Guitarist in a Heavy Metal Band from the mid 70's until the mid 90's I know what I'm talking about. It isn't Rocket Science. Listen to Sonic Temple which was released in 89, and then look at this Vid. Anyone Who follows Ian knows He has changed His look. From Death Cult to Now. Most of Us prefer the Old Ian to "rapper" Ian. ;)
These guys rock.. but wtf.... can't he carry a note anymore? Any garage band could just shout "sweet"... "soul"..."sister". Hell I could do that. disappointing.
Probably my favorite The Cult song ever! Saw them in concert last year in Boston but unfortunately they didn't play this song. Hope they play it next time I see them...
I dig it that this band is still around after all of these years. I wore out their cassette tapes in high school playing them so much. Now at 40 they are still doing what they do best and I get their quality on CD now....awesome.
"All the Hip Young Pimps"? A 40 Year Old Rock Icon trying to remake himself into a "Brotha" is not cool sorry. The Band is great! Ian is a little silly...
@Griffaen He wrote that line 20 yeaqrs agto..Shows how "silly" you are..He was way ahead of these young punks now who think pimp is their new word..lol
@trevLV I hear Ya Man, and Your opinion is valued. I'm just an Old School Rocker and watching One of My Old Rock Hero's Hip Hoppin around like that is just offensive and silly to Me. No offense intended to You :)
dude its just a guy dressed up in more current clothing ,what do u want him to do look like hes still in the 80s ,people would be laughing at them , hes wearing comfortable work out clothes ,why dont you try running around on stage in heavy leather clothing and not only that being laughed at over it ,shut your mouth,the cult is awesome ,
Ian sounds great here. I will disagree with ALL of you people here. I was just thinking the contrary, he sounds MUCH better in this decade than in the 90's or the 80's.. .Ian you sound awesome
odviously Ian's voice capacity isnt what it was....song's still kick ass, but I agree they dont have the life they used to.....if they continue to perform, maybe they shouldnt be afraid to use some of the technology available today to aid a little in the background.
Ian, man sorry that sucked big time..... I saw you in Vancouver touring with Sonic Temple and you boys kicked it big time.... pretty lame now. Gotta know when to stop......
I'm just wondering how can Ian record albums and do this job when he is not able to sing?? This is awful! You better go and do something else if you're not able to do you job the best possible way.He's dissapointing his fans...
ele não consegue cantar usando o mesmo tom da versão de estúdio quando se apresenta ao vivo. Dá pra perceber que ele não sustenta as notas no refrão, que é a melhor parte dessa música.
he can't sing tuned to the studio version when presenting liveshows. It is clear through the chorus (the best part of that music), when he can't stand the same pitch.

I like The Cult but they just don't deliver live. It seems like they are just walking through the set.

I think part of it is that the Cult has always been a duo.
Hard to get a band chemistry rocking when you just have hired guns.
Having said that, when you're front row at a show, Ian is LIVING it.
Billy has never been a showman, since day 1.
ROOKTABULA 2 years ago
Did he open with "All the hip young Pimps"?? WTF is he having an identity crisis and trying to play a Crip?
Bad makeover image...looks stupid, like he is trying to revive his career playing to the hip hop crowd.
Billy is awesome as usual though.
