      A local nightclub had a 'rock night' on a Thursday, circa 1988/90, and The Cult were played all the time alonmg with things like The Mission and all kinds of heavy to hair metal. Some Flowers Bitter in the pub, then on to the club for some music and Newcastle Brown Ale.

    Saw The Cult in January of 1987 in Newcastle upon Tyne, England as an undergrad studying abroad. Have seen them three times since then. One of my favorite bands from the 80s. This is an absolute banger. Danced to it many times in the clubs. Goth/dark wave with the dark garb and New Romantic with the white/burgundy garb.

    Just so you know, this is the extended version. Not that it's a bad thing, it's essentially the same with a longer intro/outro. I love it. They're a great band. The lead singer also sang/toured with the Doors. This song is back in their Goth Rock days. They went more hard rock after. Underrated band in many people's opinions, kinda got overshadowed by grunge hitting big, then record label disputes and alcoholism for a stretch. At one point Guns 'n Roses opened for them. (Matt Sorum has also drummed for both bands.)

    Heard this song for the very first time in a New Wave club back in '85. I was 17 at the time and still in high school. And yes, I was already hitting the clubs while still in high school! When I heard this and saw the video, since the club was actually a "videotheque", I was immediately blown away! To this day it's still one of my favorite songs not only of the 80s, but ever! The Cult fell under the umbrella of New Wave. It was the guitar driven kind, not the synth driven type, and they were loved by the Goth crowd. They 80s were something else! I guess we really were "the lucky ones"!
