The Real McCoy Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 They're touring behind the "Electric" album this year. I'd freaking LOVE to catch one of those shows! Saw them last year and they rocked!One of my all-time favorite bands! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estranged Reality Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Really? They are?I went through a big Cult phase a couple years back. Still a big fan of their singles, and think they're quite underrated as a pop rock band (they have some amazingly catchy tunes). Their new album was OK, the one before it had a handful of cool cuts ("Holy Mountain" is Johnny Cash-esque). I downloaded an out-of-print box set a while back that contained six volumes of radio edits, remixes, etc., of their catalog. Some of the tracks go on for like 10 minutes.

Yep: http://www.thecult.us/I have that box set somewhere too.

Redhead74 Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 I remember these guys from years ago and always liked them but for some reason didn't have any of their albums. Will definitely check them out now after reading this. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThinkAboutYou Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 (edited) I like the cult I had Ian Astbury walk past me once with two chicks on his arms someone stopped to get a photo with him. Just might goto Festival Hall to see them play Electric Edited July 6, 2013 by ThinkAboutYou Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just might goto Festival Hall to see them play ElectricI met the entire band minus Ian last year. Had many opportunities to talk to him, but he was with his wife and I didn't want to be a pain.By the time that he was getting ready to sign and take pics, security made us leave the parking lot.Billy Duffy was cool as hell.

wasted Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Im pretty sure Axl said in making AFD they were wanting to make it like Electric. Love Removal Machine is awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bansidhe Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Billy Duffy was cool as hell.Great lad, guitar hero and a City fan to boot.They're actually releasing "Electric Peace" on vinyl to coincide with the tour.It's the classic Electric album doubled up with the abandoned and previously unreleased (except the aforementioned Rare Cult box set) Peace album containing a lot of the songs from Electric in their original form with loads of layered guitars and vocals.Zap City is one of my favourite Cult tunes.
