Damn, Ian your voice is magnificent! From the first moment I heard your vibrato you had me!

[Mr61761gk]

[ooonurse33]

I still have that page with lyrics on it at 2:02 from Star HIts that I bought in grade 9 in 1985.

[eveliofazewife]

I love you Lady Karendean! Thank you so much! Watching the Cult is like rejuvenating my soul and puts me in harmony love buzz!!! Lol

[ladykarendean]

@eveliofazewife - oxoox Girl. SO happy you liked the connection .CFFC. Long live Ezekiel.

[TubeFreakJonas]

He does have a killer low register. He's not really a screamer like Bon Scott.

Extremely fine track, you must listen to SHAPE THE SKY from the same CD, one of the coolest songs ever cult-ivated

[ladykarendean]

@TubeFreakJonas Thank you. I did a video for SHAPE THE SKY on my channel. love that song!! check it out.

I just get lost in Ian's voice and the music when I listen to the Cult like nothing else can do.....I'm getting to see them live again this Saturday in Charlotte, NC....its worth the trip from Texas!

[RighteousBrother]

awesome never heard this version before, thanks for uploading!

[Colcorso]

Wow,creepy sound. I actually LVOE the low resolution sound of this clip. Sounds etherial. Thanks so much for posting!

[eveliofazewife]

LadyKaren makes exquiste n poignant videos. i love her interpretations of the cult. the band is so blessed to have such a wonderful devotee.

[RomanoGiovanni]

Well this is the closest thing to a Rise AMV that I have seen on here. I really think this was a good job. The metal version would work amazing with bits from movies like The Matrix, Iron Man, or well, any badass hand to hand combat or mechanized power suit type genre. I really want to see more AMVs with Rise.

@RomanoGiovanni "with bits from movies like The Matrix, Iron Man, or well, any badass hand to hand combat or mechanized power suit type genre"

That would be AWFUL. Far too KITSCH for The Cult, way below them !

[BLUESLADY77RTE]

Wow! SOunding like a Doors-Song!!

[TheEmilio16]

@BLUESLADY77RTE I agree. The lyrics sound like something Jim Morrison would have written.

[Ghengisfritzmeister]

i love everything this band does. these acoustic versions are a special treat

MAY THE CULT ROCK FOREVER!!!!!!!

[codge2112]

Love that,thanks

[doppleganger69]

Ladykarendean, I think maybe they were also expecting BIT to be as heavy as Beyond Good And Evil. I dunno. I'm just speculating. Every Cult album is different and great in their own right. I even love Ian's solo work.

[ladykarendean]

actually RISE is from the Beyond Good and Evil album- one of my all time personal fav releases of the Cult.

[doppleganger69]

Thanks ladykarendean for clueing me in on the acronym. Now tell me why so many people on You Tube are hating on the Born Into This album. Best I can figure, they're not PURE Cult fans. Ian and Billy can do NO wrong.

[ladykarendean]

@doppleganger69 personally, BIT is one of my fav albums. It was fresh and raw -like Ian and Billy wanted it. some fans wanted another Electric or Sonic Temple. the Cult are always changing . that is what makes them great!

[doppleganger69]

Amazing!! This is the first time hearing "RISE" acoustic. Proof positive how amazing Ian's voice really is. Would someone please tell me what CFFC stands for? I have it on a keychain that I got from the Born Into This tour and I heard Ian say it at the end of a show on the Cult's "Return to the wild" tour.

[ladykarendean]

@doppleganger69 - CFFC stands for

Cult Forever, Forever Cult. yes, he does have an amazing range of voice. Check out my new video of RISE- ALBUM VERSION posted week of 1.25.10

[CFFCthecultCFFC]

Thanks a lot! That sounds really good. Never heard this acoustic version before! CFFC!
