Not only is Ian perhaps the most beautiful man on the planet; he is an awesome singer, writer and artist. He is like a beautiful, pristine, work of art. CFFC
Amazingly intelligent and articulate also. Then there's his stage presence. He's devoted to putting on a show, first for himself, then for the band, then for the audience. They resemble the Stones that way.
Ian is divine perfection! 😍😍❤❤ yes I know this reply is 13 years late but hey better late than never! He is still beautiful even now in 2022 and sounds amazing!
THE CULT IS AWESOME ONE OF MY FAVORITE BANDS. THEY GOT SO MANY GREAT SONGS. MY FAVORITE ALBUMS ARE LOVE AND ELECTRIC. IAN UR VOICE IS SO COOL AND DIFFERENT. BILLY U ARE SUCH UNDERRATED GUITARIST
I got to meet Ian this past summer 2008, and hung with him for about 20 mins, shooting the shit, and he was just a perfect gentleman and chatted with me the whole time and was very open to conversation. I wish him well. He's one bad ass nice guy! Long Live The Cult!
These guys have been nothing but class since day one. You notice there was no attitude when the interviewer ask them if some people think this is their first tour? Some assholes out there would get angry because their pride would be hurt, these blokes know that some fans only hear about them through radio play. I also was blown away with how easy going they were when I met them in #5 Orange in Vancouver during the recording of Sonic Temple, some of them came in, sat down, I was there after a days work in construction and was dressed crappy, they still didnt care and signed my shirt for me with out hesitation. Great guys!
"The hairstyle. . . and the guitar" they said as an afterthought, hilarious! No one notices his hair, but 35 years later and Billy Duffy has created some of the most timeless guitar tones and licks of anyone around!
His voice is so powerful yet controlled and it has a bluesyness/jazziness to it. I could even imagine him cutting a jazz piece at this time but done right. He's a Taurus and their power is centered at the throat.
I know, right? Astrology is so legit! ...so is flat-earth theory. My nan thinks so too. But she's a bit soft in the head tho. Also, she shat the bed last Thursday.
I've had a crush on Billy Duffy for the last 25 years and probably will for the rest of my life. Hot damn..... (....and "Dreamtime" is an underrated masterpiece.)
Yum, Yum, Yum, Yum, Yum, Yum, Yum!!! I could eat them both for dinner. They are so delicious and extremely talented too boot. I love the Cult!! They are one of the BEST rock bands EVER.
yummmmmmmmm...I was just trying to upload this interview today and....I found it..YAY made me day easier~!! he is sooooooooooo f'n HOT..Love that man...just saw him in Seattle, WA very nice!!
Ian doesn't even have to have colored or blue eyes like his buddy there. His eyes are dark brown or black and they're beautiful. Its how he uses them to. They go with his face and personality. ♥️
Billy always seems to be agitated just look at him figdeting. Even in some photo's he has an intense frown or look and it's not for the camera. I saw him live at a small gig during the Cult album tour and he was piiissed off. During the concert you could see Ian was trying not to let Billy's attitude affect him. I think Billy is jealous of Ian's attention. But I so love Billy's guitar playing. He plays with such a groove. Dig the the "Witch" with that wah wah turnaround or "Ceremony" intro.
Orlando Bloom would be a good choice to play Billy Duffy in a movie, they sorta look like father/son , Billy doesn't look that much NOW like Orlando Bloom , but back then the resemblance is strong to Orlando Bloom
i live in bradford england where the band started out as southern death cult, a few people round town tell me storys of an old red indian guy who ian knew wich lived in bradford and they say that where ian got the hole tribal indian thing from, they also said he was a bit of a thief,hah, what a guy still.memphis hip shake forever!
He actually lived in Canada from 11 to 16 and while there he spent time at the indian reservation there and fell in love with their customs and beliefs.
Great rockers but very complicated to follow especially when fusing music. Could never quite work them out, very edgy/progressive, at same time frustrating to follow, always seemed to hold something back never pushing to the absolute limit. Band seemed very volatile and diverse.
I love it. They basically say, playing SNL sucked. This is back when everything was real, entertainers werent forced to be PC. They could say what they want. Honesty, integrity...just rock n fuckin' roll!!!
OW! 2 very piercing (sets) of eyes! Back then I seen Ian as a better Lookin' Steven TyLer, who was himseLf, good Lookin'. BiLLy seemed more open then, man, his eyes are wiLd. StiLL a good combination even today rockin' peopLe's socks off! cffc
Nigel Preston, one of the greatest drummers of all time, was fired from The Cult because of his addiction to heroin. Ok. And what happens in the minute 2:45? What happens to Billy Duffy? Oh mate, Steven Adler's story can be repeated thousands of times!
Just babies. Ian's smile is magic. They had no idea what was ahead.
god he's gorgeous! love his voice too!
awesome interview angelic looks

That smile melts my heart ❤ the sparkle in your eyes Ian keeps me alive.
Billy Duffy was so beautiful 💕

Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby I fell from the sky...... Hard to imagine isn't it. And how brilliant are they still? No better, ever.
I was so "in love" with Ian those days...lol
The Cult Forever!
This is where Ian is the Hottest!
Hell. Yes!
"The hairstyle. . . and the guitar" they said as an afterthought, hilarious! No one notices his hair, but 35 years later and Billy Duffy has created some of the most timeless guitar tones and licks of anyone around!
That’s dry British humor for ya.
Fantastic writing duo... decades of hits.
His voice is so powerful yet controlled and it has a bluesyness/jazziness to it. I could even imagine him cutting a jazz piece at this time but done right. He's a Taurus and their power is centered at the throat.

My nan thinks so too. But she's a bit soft in the head tho. Also, she shat the bed last Thursday.
@@Bhatt_Hole oversharing much?
Ian looks happier here than any other time I've ever seen him ... and I've seen a lot.
He turned into a fucking drag after that.
I've had a crush on Billy Duffy for the last 25 years and probably will for the rest of my life. Hot damn.....
(....and "Dreamtime" is an underrated masterpiece.)
He is still sexy today..I'm sure you already know that
These two look so good together, you can hear the leather jackets creaking in the background. So British it hurts...
So Young and fresh , full of energy and ambition.
Ian is beautiful both on The outside and inside The one and only ❤️
OmG! Ian is hot damn...💣💥

Billy just totally buries Theatre Of Hate, how funny.
Orlando Bloom would be a good choice to play Billy Duffy in a movie, they sorta look like father/son , Billy doesn't look that much NOW like Orlando Bloom , but back then the resemblance is strong to Orlando Bloom

Billy Duffy reminds me of David Beckham.
Just realized that Billy Duffy looks like young Charlie Sheen. LOL.
@undergroundbasement
Maybe for a younger Billy yes.
For now it has to be Sean Bean.

billy could have acted as an elf in LOTR xD
Legolas! Orlando Bloom eat your heart out!
Look at this interview and then the Canadian TV interview in 1987. What the fuck happened to them?
he duz look like charlie sheen
I love it. They basically say, playing SNL sucked. This is back when everything was real, entertainers werent forced to be PC. They could say what they want. Honesty, integrity...just rock n fuckin' roll!!!
@TheVektorious He had a drink problem and The Cult had turned into a cliched "rock" monster !!
If you say don't wish you had a girlfriend 20 years younger, then you are a liar or not hetero. IAN LOOKS OLDER BECAUSE HE IS OLDER.
OW! 2 very piercing (sets) of eyes! Back then I seen Ian as a better Lookin' Steven TyLer, who was himseLf, good Lookin'. BiLLy seemed more open then, man, his eyes are wiLd. StiLL a good combination even today rockin' peopLe's socks off! cffc
OOOh...che giovani ^_^
Billy looks stoned!
Nigel Preston, one of the greatest drummers of all time, was fired from The Cult because of his addiction to heroin. Ok. And what happens in the minute 2:45? What happens to Billy Duffy?
Oh mate, Steven Adler's story can be repeated thousands of times!
@BlackSabbathory So you think.
LMAO, the person that upload this spelled Ian's last name wrong... ;-)
Billy Duffy is stoned as hell.
@sweetheartbreaker666 Errrrrrrrr......Robert Plant is English, to name but one !!
@fritolayketchupchips haha
