I don't care about them being criminally underrated or not being as big as they should have been....they are one of the very few bands that define me, my style, my taste.. extremely representative and I love them with all my being. 💀😎🤟🖤💋⚰😘
Criminally underrated band, I love Ian Astbury with his long dark hair, and great voice, and Billy Duffy's a brilliant guitarist, together they created some of the best rock songs that ever came out of the 80s!! I have all the albums. Big love for The Cult!
I agree with you. I love Ian's long black hair too and I love his dance moves. Billy and Jamie are guitar gods. The drummer is outstanding too. They are definitely the best band from the 80's era.
@@nancycoffman5707 Billy Duffy is a guitar god but Jamie Stuart was crap on the bass. I say this as a bassist. His basslines were beyond simple but do work for the songs he played. The Cult are one of my favourite bands btw.
Ian Astbury in my book is way up there as one of the iconic frontmen of 80’s hard rock. Dark, mysterious, sexy, exuberant and has the voice of an angel…the full package. Marilyn Manson based his look off him I think
Not enough is said about the tasty licks of Billy Duffy. Such a tasteful, minimalist but kick ass rocker. He picked the perfect notes to drive and texture the song. As a guitarist I am in awe of the combo of his raw rocking-ness and effortless tasteful texturing around the melody.
I was 18, some little band called guns n roses opened for the Cult in Winnipeg in 1986. Nobody paid attention to GNR, The Cult were doing their “Electric” tour. Fantastic pivot from the sound of the “Love” album. Both were awesome
Man. Ian was so talented in singing and dancing and always a sharp dresser like no one did. Comparing his look to depp, prince, axl and tyler is underating him. They dressed great but Ian was unique and dressed in his own right and never copied anyone. He had his own style. Great man. ❤❤❤ He mixed it with classy yet casual items and colors like his wrist band and scarf. Purple and red to look both hip and professional. Beautiful.
I was 20 in 1984. As 60's 70's rock kid I never liked the new wave stuff and I hated the hair metal crap and these guys were the breath of fresh air. What an original kick ass band they still are.
Music has lost its way in the world there’s nothing that comes even close to the brilliance of this sound music now is bland uncreative and very rehearsed nothing about it that you can follow and want to hear I want to thank these guys for making these songs and making our lives a little bit more enjoyable God Bless you guys ✝️🤘🎸🎚🇬🇧😘🙏🏻💞✝️🙏🏻😘🎸🤘✝️💕
🇬🇧....FANTASTIC BEGINNING, GUITARS AND BASS SPEAK ... THE 80's ..OVERWHELMING RHYTHM.🇮🇹 INIZIO FANTASTICO, CHITARRE E BASSO PARLANO , GLI ANNI 80..SU QUESTA CANZONE 🎵 PAZZESCA ABBIAMO BALLATO INTERE NOTTATE... AMMAZZA COME GIRANO LE LANCETTE ⏰ DEL TEMPO SALUTI DALLA PUGLIA ✋😜✋
@@mikesmouse7779 No that's about halfway through tours when his voice is shredded. Just listen to Love Removal Machine on Whistle Test to see his vocal power or even better Dreamtime Live at the Lyceum.
This was the appearance which prompted Steve Wright to comment "And they wear those clothes on the street, too" after it was finished. An excellent TOTP moment, prompted by a band who were firing on all cylinders in terms of music, concepts and image.
Born in 86' myself, but always had a fascination with 80s music and societal culture. Everything seemed so varied from sounds to fashion. A unique decade for sure.
I love this one. Ian's belief that rock performers should be peacocks and that rock is supposed to be played from the waist down really helped make this band great and Duffy, of course. Jaime always smiling... I love todays harder edge Ian but soft Ian is beautiful.
jim Morrison son dam it just hit me ian should have played jim Morrison in the movie he dam near a clone just modernized lol. 1980s it was cool to be young we had the music the food the swagger good old days sucks getting old.
@@peterhughes7099Mark aside from Big Country that he just left a week ago has been a session musician most of his life having played on albums by The Cult, Pete Townshend, Roger Daltrey, Tiffany, Joan Armatrading, Fish, Midge Ure, and Procol Harum just to name a few. His session work discography is really lengthy actually. I'm a huge fan of him.
I love both the before Rick Rubin Cult and the after Rick Rubin Cult. Electric is my favorite album. The way he strpped the glam (which I loved btw) and brought out these masters of hard rock! Electric is on my desert island list. Love the Cult
Grupazo !!! Aquí en Valencia se les quiere un montón. Con una trilogía de álbumes para enmarcar: Love (1985) Electric (1987) * Sonic Temple (1989) * Mi preferido y por el que recomiendo iniciarse en la banda . Saludos.

My protection against ever joining a cult... listening to The Cult!!

My friend went to school with Ian! Must be something in the water at their school, he was a singer/guitarist in a band, doing more accpustic now!

@@MCDrB-wq8ed I do not understand why you sent me this message. I am entitled to my opinion about Billy and Jamie and their guitar abilities.
I still remember buying this album. "Love" is one of the finest 1980's albums.
My favorite album of all time
Yo recuerdo la primera vez que lo escuché.
One of the most underrated bands ever. The Cult is amazing.
Fuck yeah mate, was my music leaving skool, 1985 ,year 11🍻🍻🍻
Never got to see them in the 80s but did just a couple of years ago...totally underrated...
I'm not sure why they weren't a huge band. Very cool sound. One of my fave bands.
I have all their albums & rarities... they are the music for me..
That’s because they’re really a duo.
Bring back the eighties. Awesome song.

Cant sit still when the cult come on. Fantastic band
Me too, I love the Cult.
Same here
I love this band in 2021! ♥️🖤
2023 and still jammin this
Straight up boss of a band. The Cult still rages to this day. So choice.
Mystic Ian Astbury very talented, great poetry & lyricist; deliciously decadent luscious 2 look at, he is our whimsigoth dream❤
Amazing music....boy do I miss this era!
My favourite track of all time, love it so much. xxx
one of the best bands of all time! greetings from Brazil!🇧🇷
37 years ago - can we turn back the clock to this!!
Masterpiece incredible
I was 18, some little band called guns n roses opened for the Cult in Winnipeg in 1986.
Nobody paid attention to GNR, The Cult were doing their “Electric” tour. Fantastic pivot from the sound of the “Love” album. Both were awesome
I saw the same year in Finland. Duffy's guitar is for real one of the most needed to support the Ian:s overwhelming voice.
Guns and roses played with the Cult in Guelph as well at a small bar called the Trasheteria. Its a dump of a bar too.
The best years 85,,,,,, 🎸🎼🎶
Saw The Cult back in the day. Love them!! What a great time to grow up in.. Thanks for the video
Our pleasure!
So did I when this came out. Yes, memorable time.
the 80s f rocked Blaze69
saw them live in 85-86 at a college venue in Northern Virginia, they opened for Billy Idol
Man. Ian was so talented in singing and dancing and always a sharp dresser like no one did. Comparing his look to depp, prince, axl and tyler is underating him. They dressed great but Ian was unique and dressed in his own right and never copied anyone. He had his own style. Great man. ❤❤❤
He mixed it with classy yet casual items and colors like his wrist band and scarf. Purple and red to look both hip and professional. Beautiful.
The Cult were truly amazing. After the party was over, Astbury re-created Jim Morrison's role in The Doors and was incredibly good. Total respect.
Forever classic!Love 80's!
I was 20 in 1984. As 60's 70's rock kid I never liked the new wave stuff and I hated the hair metal crap and these guys were the breath of fresh air. What an original kick ass band they still are.
I remember skating to this song back in the 80s! All the skaters loved The Cult back then.
Beauty song.
I really love The Cult. They are a band like no other.
The 80's ROCKED!! & Still ROCK IN 2022!!!
Que temazo!!!! 👍🖤🖤
Thanks to RUclips I can finally see this clip after 37 years. Better late than never as they say!
👏🏻😎
A distanza di anni sto pezzo spacca ancora, bravissimi.
e aggiungo, ....alla facciaccia dei maneskif
@@MrLore68 ok
Great Band in the 80s. Love it!!
The voice Ian Asbury ídolo!!!!
Brilliant song , just discovered this band a bit late , but they’re fantastic
Never too late to discover the Cult! I discovered them in 1992 still love Ian and Billy to this day ❤ ♥
Amazing band amazing song.. amazing music. Ian voice is so different and perfect. Billy guitar playin amazing
Loved Billy then, and love him now. Such a great guitarist and musician.
Music has lost its way in the world there’s nothing that comes even close to the brilliance of this sound music now is bland uncreative and very rehearsed nothing about it that you can follow and want to hear I want to thank these guys for making these songs and making our lives a little bit more enjoyable God Bless you guys ✝️🤘🎸🎚🇬🇧😘🙏🏻💞✝️🙏🏻😘🎸🤘✝️💕

Saw them many times! Phenomenal !!!
Never had the honor and privilege of seeing these guys , lm envious!!!

I love him and this song❤🔥
Music delight
Love Rain..... Ian ❤
Ian's vocals are INSANE
Live though he is crap, he doesn't see notes through, always chopping them off.
@@mikesmouse7779 Agree!
This is the best video I've seen where he sounds good though.
@@mikesmouse7779 No that's about halfway through tours when his voice is shredded. Just listen to Love Removal Machine on Whistle Test to see his vocal power or even better Dreamtime Live at the Lyceum.
Love this band
Love The Arkive!
Rocking Roll 🖤🎶🥀
The Cult
Love it 🖤🖤🖤 very underrated band
I love Jimmy Stewart. His scale run At the end of Ciao Edie Still makes my heart flutter
This was the appearance which prompted Steve Wright to comment "And they wear those clothes on the street, too" after it was finished. An excellent TOTP moment, prompted by a band who were firing on all cylinders in terms of music, concepts and image.
Agree! The Cult are Iconic on All levels. Adore then forever ❤
This reminds me of my time in the 80s being a rocker with my first love Wayne what an era that was.
Favorite! Let's gooo🤘🏻
Bella. Che ricordi....dei lontani '80
Being 18 in 1985 was bloody brilliant. Being in band was even better.
We were so lucky!
Born in 86' myself, but always had a fascination with 80s music and societal culture. Everything seemed so varied from sounds to fashion. A unique decade for sure.
Born in the end of 1989, but feel like I was there lol
I feel Mike and the guys where singing about higher powers. Mike God Bless you with your complete healing from cancer. Rob
I spent the 80's in Australia and missed out on this band. What a bloody shame but enjoying them now.
Just PERFECT!!!!!!! 💯🔝👍
Seen the cult back in the 90's love the voice of Ian and the sound
Brilliant version of a brilliant song 👍🎶
The Cult of Cult 😍
Ogledalo group from Čelarevo from Serbia🎶ПРЕИВНО😇🥰❤❤❤💋
I love this one. Ian's belief that rock performers should be peacocks and that rock is supposed to be played from the waist down really helped make this band great and Duffy, of course. Jaime always smiling... I love todays harder edge Ian but soft Ian is beautiful.
@@SpookyElectric319 don't you sexiest? I never knew Ian to be sexist! He is a very very sexy man! Even now!
Ian Astbury is a stud. The Marc Bolan of the 80’s
Ian Astbury is a dreamy mystic super poet talented lyricist n girgeous Celtic rock god❤
jim Morrison son dam it just hit me ian should have played jim Morrison in the movie he dam near a clone just modernized lol. 1980s it was cool to be young we had the music the food the swagger good old days sucks getting old.
You didn't follow the White naked dude
He was up for the role along with Kilmer. The rest is history
This Is music!!!
Mark Brzezicki of Big Country on drums here, he played drums on every track on the ‘Love’ album apart from She Sells Sanctuary.
killer rhythm section
Ian is a great rock singer!
yup , We have been waiting for her for so long. I love the Rain!!
With Mark in the drums. It doesn’t get any better 👍
Ian 🥺
Second one on the playlist of "Rain"...it's a classic!. Love this band and this track...it's amazing!.
Hot sticky scenes
You know what I mean
Like a desert sun
That burns my skin
I've been waiting
For her for so long
Open the sky
And let her come down
Here comes the rain
Here comes the rain
Here she comes again
Here comes the rain
Hot sticky scenes
She know what I mean
Like a desert sun
That burns my skin, skin, skin
I've been waiting
For her for so long
Open the sky
And let her come down
Here comes the rain
Here comes the rain
Here she comes again
Here comes the rain
I love the rain
I love the rain
Here she comes again
Here comes the rain
Oh, rain
Rain
Rain
Oh, here comes the rain
I love the rain
Well, I love the rain
Here she comes again
I love the rain
Rain

This is the first time I have seen this video and I love it. Another fantastic performance by Ian, Billy, Jamie and the drummer!!
Drummer is from the band Big Country . Gave them a great sound for that album
The drummer is Mark Brzezicki, I seem to remember he stood in for some bands around this time period, however he was the drummer for Big Country.
`You do realise it is TOTP, so it is playback?
@@peterhughes7099Mark aside from Big Country that he just left a week ago has been a session musician most of his life having played on albums by The Cult, Pete Townshend, Roger Daltrey, Tiffany, Joan Armatrading, Fish, Midge Ure, and Procol Harum just to name a few.

Right up there with the very best.
....ese sonido fluctuante entre postpunk y gótico y el hard.....
Great band .!!seen em just recently in London
GREAT MUSIC, BEAUTIFUL LEAD SINGER (IAN ASTBURY)! :-p
Wonderfull ❤
Didn't know the song was over 35 years old
Heard it first on pure cult
Pure Rock. FABULOUS
❤una musica fantastica
DUUH DAAH DUH DOO DUUH DAAAAAAH DAAAH DUUH DOO DAAAH DAAAH DUUH DOO!
TOO GOOOD!!!!!!!!
I love both the before Rick Rubin Cult and the after Rick Rubin Cult. Electric is my favorite album. The way he strpped the glam (which I loved btw) and brought out these masters of hard rock! Electric is on my desert island list. Love the Cult
I’d love to hear the scrapped sessions for Electric which had a finer transition between the two.
Grupazo !!!
Aquí en Valencia se les quiere un montón.
Con una trilogía de álbumes para enmarcar:
Love (1985)
Electric (1987) *
