Just saw these guys Sunday at the Warfieid in SF; man oh man do they still bring the heat. Recommended must see if they ever play in your area. They put every poser "rock" band to shame. Rock on, Ian and Billy.
One of these seemingly effortless songs that has everything in the right place, a great singer, with handsome charisma, a tight solid as a rock Cult blokes backing it all up. It lights up the dark night like a frenzied comet, and makes everyone dance around like mental folk.
One of the few truly timeless songs to come out of the 80's. Despite it being over a 1/4 century old it still grabs you. I saw the reaction last night when they played in front of an audience that the majority of which weren't even born yet when this song came out. The kids there from Arizona State went just as nuts as I did when those opening notes were played.
@lickknob11 I remember when I was @the Univ. of Colorado & this album just came out. I was @a record store in Boulder, when I first heard this. CD's were still new and cassette tapes were still the primary mode of music transportation. Ian Astbury has an incredible voice & stage presence. And Billy Duffy's guitar work is what it is ... TIMELESS!
Compare this, their last "goth" record to the new "rock" of Wildflower. Seems to be a case of bandanas off and longer hair. Still love 'em but would have been better if they had stuck to the goth imagery.
I don't know, but I think that Steve Tyler of Aerosmith may have been messin' around Scotland a few years back. Check out Ian's sinuous moves, mike stand handling, mouth, etc. I'm not sayin', I'm just sayin', know what I'm sayin'?
This is my favourite song. Been listening to it close on 25 years when I first bought "Love" on vinyl back in 1986. And it still does it for me. Best up real, real loud.
@buggylrp i know what you mean my friend rattled window panes in the local club with his video disco gear when this was out first.....put a big smile on my face lol
This guitar is on display at the Hard Rock Hotel Las Vegas. I just saw it yesterday. Dated!!! Its in its own Cult display with other items from this album. Very cool!!
A real classic ! It just makes the hairs on the back ofmy neck realy stand up when ever I hear it......Or is it the fact it sounds even better cranked right up. ****in AWESOME.
Don't quote me on this but i heard the unique sound of the guitar riff in this song is do to the fact that there was violin strings strung on it. If it is true, man they were really worked hard to be different in the new wave era.
You know this really is a very good video - the bands all rocking, great editing, they're all dressed up in their rock'n'roll finery. The director and band really catch the mix of despair and mirth of the song. Really well done.
"ruleoforder",you should not offense the others just 'cause they have different opinions and musical choices...everyone understand and feel the music in his own way...if you cannot understand something,don't blame the Creator!...try harder or be more comprehesive,open-minded!...:)
ruleoforder is an ignorant jackass that goes around on youtube making the same lame-ass idiotic comment on these videos to try and get attention. Pretty pathetic, wouldn't you agree? ruleoforder....loser troll.
