      There are paradoxical instances, at least in a lot of cases, in which "extremely negative" and "harmful" music brings those vibrations you mentioned; something like a highly refined 'schadenfraude', in the sense that some Art comes from deeply disturbed individuals/experiences, that connects with people who enjoy it without even thinking of it in a malicious way.

    Saw The Clut and Metallica together in Atlanta around 1988-89. The Cult was actually the headliner that night. I would say both bands were at the same level of their music careers and both on the verge to become the next rock giants. Of course we all know what level Metallica went to and personally I thought The Cult was the better of the 2 bands. And thats considering the fact that I loved Metallica in the 80s. But from that point on The Cult kinda just remained the same as Metallica exploded into one of the biggest metal bands in history. I always wonder why the Cult just fell off the map around 1990 when they seemed to be enroute to mega stardom after Electric was released. Scratching my head on this one

    It’s very interesting to hear how much Ian’s accent has changed over the years.
    His singing voice has taken a bit of a beating over the years but it’s hardly surprising with the lifestyle & passing decades.
    This interview would be from the period that we were seeing The Cult on every tour in places like St Austell and Brighton Top Rank. The epic gig that I’ll never forget was Brixton Academy on their return from the US. The Phoenix whilst sitting on my best mate’s shoulders. Seared into my memory. Fucking unforgettable.

When he dressed in all black, with that long, black straight mane flying around, he reminded me of a sexy native american man riding shirtless on a wild horse through the plains or dancing around a ring of fire!!
