Members rawk100 Posted October 10, 2009 Members Share Posted October 10, 2009 Wish I was going, have a good 'un. Duffy is using either Matchless or Bad Cat combo's along with the Roland chorus. He still has the JCM800 round the back though as well (I think)! Let us know what it was like when you get back.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wish i wasnt so {censored}ing hungover "the guitarist" - you mean Billy Duffy! :poke:Enjoy the gig - I'd love to see them, though I didn't get into them beyond Sonic Temple...but Love and Electric are just two brilliant albums. Anyway, thread inspired me to do some Youtube Cult surfing. This is a goodie:[YOUTUBE]XYwyHlsa1wU[/YOUTUBE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Monkeybot Posted October 11, 2009 Members Share Posted October 11, 2009 The weird thing about The Cult is that so many people dig them up until Sonic Temple and then just abandoned them - Their best stuff came after that record... I think Beyond Good and Evil is absolutely their best record all things considered. It rocks, is kind of spooky, has that tambourine thing all over it, and just kills. Not a lot of people have heard it, but it's probably the most Cult of all Cult records. Every record they've put out is pretty great. I even dig the Holy Barbarians (though I've never really checked out Billy Duffy's side projects) and the "indie" Cult record (The Cult). They've never sounded contrived, or mechanical. Great band. Saw Jane's Addiction this summer - They played the hits and seemed like they were just walking through - In the 5 or 6 times I've seen The Cult, they always played it like they meant it. What more can you ask from a band? Dig it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you've definitely inclined me to check out Beyond Good and Evil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Astbury seemed like he didnt want to be there and instead of singing, just spouted rubbish for most of the set... he couldnt hit any high notes either. The rest of the band seemed distant too, but played well.The sound wasn't too great, which i couldn't believe considering it was the albert hall. I know its not the same, but I seen UNKLE recently and Ian Astbury sang a song with them (Burn My Shadow) and was mindblowingly good... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members houseofglass21 Posted October 11, 2009 Members Share Posted October 11, 2009 Forget those recommendations on checking out their later stuff. The first two albums are the best, especially "Love" which is a masterpiece. Their later stuff is derided for a reason, it's just not that good in comparison to their earlier work.

As for Ian singing- he has great nights and then he has off nights (like most people). His time spent singing for The Doors really helped his singing a lot. One thing I noticed when I was following him with The Doors- he gets sick a lot. I saw The Doors 10 or 11 times and Ian had some kind of bug at 5 of those shows and it effected his performance.
