[bluffedyaboy]

[tromachick]

He sounds F'n awesome

[cannon303]

Is that Bill Oddie?

[maximadog]

Ian Astburys' voice IS Rock and Roll to me..

[Clarky1966]

Brilliant that.  Ta for the vid' mate.

[monkeypuzzle351]

age shall not weary him......getting old sux as we all know

[jhgosnell]

He sounds good, better than usual...

[Aphrodizzle]

Ian's voice is as amazing as ever!!

[rbobh69]

This video reminds me why I love Ian's voice!! 

[eveliofazewife]

Acapella/acoustic. after surgery. OMG he sounds AMAZING. no one in any rock band can sing this soulful. Ian Astbury is a GREAT SINGER. Listen to the resonation. This is a very melodic. in a way that is what stage is about...a UNIQUE peek into privacy of the artist process.

[btsg]

ian sounds great... like the old astbury. keep it up.

[mortar771]

Badass awesome sound

[indyfriday]

A pretty subdued performance, but good considering it's live...he's still got the great voice. I'll bet he can still belt it out on stage with The Cult. It's totally unfortunate that we're all growing older - I remember Ian was not only the best singer, but the most gorgeous guy alive 20 years ago.

@indyfriday be with u on that indy :) has a memory, not forgotten, wembley stadium, still the best live gig ever was at, circa '88 i think :) xxxx

[andras178]

Is he Yul from Diving for pearls?

[KaceyRae]

@andras178 it sure is! Good Memory

[TheErmitano100]

The man looks corpulent. I miss the slim, long-haired, youthful Ian.

[MzWebSurfer]

Ian sounds great, but he needs to stand up and MOVE with it, lol. Many people make comments about him jumping around, but I always thought that was one of the great things about watching him perform.

[bjcba]

amazing song, go Ian!!!

[garygareth]

He's lost that special voice of his :(

[HonRevPTB]

@garygareth What are you talking about!?!? He sounds fine! You're just saying that cuz he's heavier now & you wanna say something negative! Come on man, he sounds great! Not too many people out there sound as good as Ian.

[garygareth]

@HonRevPTB Man I love ian you just have to check my channel, but Im just not mad bout his voice nowadays thats all. I prefar listening to his voice from the 80's and early 90's period. Still love the cult though theres nobody that can compare to such an amazing and special band.

[cwbalmer]

Terrific !

[redhed5150]

[javimetalurgico]

Increíble, excelente versión, Astbury es rock, el rock no morirá jamás...

[banixoidle]

Simply BRILLIANT an Awesome voice and KICK-ASS guitar player!!

[sparkyandmaggie]

Saw Ian with the Cult in Detroit recently. Great show, but I would have really dug this gig.

[evromsd]

This is an amazing version, I love the guitar!

[owlrun]

This video shows a wonderful, down-to-earth side of Ian giving back with delight that gift which he was given. Thanks for posting.

[tigerini]

Ian stays a cool dude, although his voice is maybe still the best in rock-electric performance. But hee, maybe you have to adapt music to you're age anyway. Hope they will rock when they come to europe this automn!

[HonRevPTB]

@tigerini LOL! Come on all you guys are makin it sound like he's 70 or something! Geez he's not even old!

[soulevolving]
