music like this from my childhood makes all the x factor wanabee tallent seekers disolve in an acid pool of death, the worlds true music tallent has been lost to the pre-fabricated media pleasing rubbish. makes me want to cry. . . . truely a loss we may never get back. what have we become?
@stevenh915 - Amen to that! So much music made back then that STILL gets more awesome no matter how often you listen. Still have an old tapedeck in my shop with a LOT of eighties tapes, one of then being The Cult - Pure Cult. I may leave it for a year or so sometimes, but ALWAYS get back to it sooner or later and find new things to love and appreciate. They ROCK!
@stevenh915 The music industry has become a fake pile of fuck. Real raw rock and metal, that's what I need. The fake present industry is pussy-whipped shit.
I cant even describe how much i dug The Cult growing up but this video (not the tune) freaks me out. Was Boy George's DNA used to clone those back up singers? Quit waving your arms, jesus....
The Cult made it plenty big. Astbury and Duffy aren't washing dishes or parking cars. Astbury has a lot of integrity and a really earnest enthusiasm for music. He's pretty much spot on about a lot of American rock stars. They're not pleasant people. I'm saying this as an American who's been in bands. But not many people are pleasant when they have lots of money and power. Humans are like gremlins. They're all cute and sweet but if you feed them after midnight they turn into monsters.
I finally figured out why THE CULT never made it super huge (as they deserved imo). After watching their videos in time order...they always followed the style trend, not quite creating their own. Whether it was musical style or fashion on stage, they were a beat behind. That and ian is a total jerk off who was too often caught saying mean shit about Americans.
So why did GNRoses make it big then? They stole The Cult's style, as you can see in this video. And mean shit about Americans..That'll keep them a bit modest atleast.
Ah, 1985! The early/mid-80s saw a lot of acts doing this new wave/androgny men-in-makeup thing. Didn't really suit the Cult and they dropped it pretty fast. Can't hide the power of this song though.
maybe in the UK it means cock. in the usa it means what it is A FUCKIN TOOL. ever heard of a hand tool fucktard. now go drink some tea and suck some cock faggot!
Does he really? I guess it's now uncommon (Van Morrison hates "Brown Eyed Girl", or at least used to, R.E.M. hates "Shiney Happy People", etc. This is just the first instance I've heard where the artist hates a song I really love.
The backing singers are "The Anadin Brothers" from Dr and the Medics. It's actually Wendi and Sue not Wendi and Colette, as Colette hadn't joined the band at that point.
for any of you who don't know this song is about the rain in Vancouver B.C. Canada Ian wrote about it when he lived here since it rains so fuckin much especially during the winter hahaha
This band was the perfect bridge between new wave and metal. The guitarist who did this riff (not the guy in the video) was the studio guitarist from Motorhead - killer riffs all the way with the cult...
