"Ian Gets into it with a fan & She Sells Sanctuary & Machine" The Cult@Philadelphia 7/22/22

[@1965WHYTE]

They are freakin dialed STILL!! They say the 80's bands are all washed up???? WRONG! Ian, Billy and Co are FIRE🔥

[@sandrafisherhayes3219]

​@smoothygroovythe BEST ROCK BAND EVER! That's who they are! No contest ❤❤ Ian is the most beautiful man ever with the most beautiful soul and Billy the most gifted guitarist along with Jimmy Page

[@gabrieledersch6003]

One of my favourite bands. Very underrated band. Saw them Sept 18th 2022 for the 6th time. Saw them live for the first time in 1986. Billy and Ian sound great. Thank you. God bless you. 💗➕💗😇🎸

[@Vibeagain]

No, nobody has underrated them

[@TheMonolake]

His voice is sounding real good its great !

[@sukiseven]

literally the most underrated band in the last 50 years. imho

[@Vibeagain]

No, they are not literally that

[@LoveandLightJason]

Right off the LOVE album in 1985! I was 15 at the time!! The 80's are still alive and rocking!!!! I LOVE IT!!!!!

[@lauraloyland]

I was also 15 when Love was released!! Turned 16 later that year in November though 😁 And I’ve been a fan since Love and I saw them live in San Diego 1995 & I’m gonna be seeing them again live MANY YEARS later this year in October 🎶💘😭

[@LoveandLightJason]

@@lauraloyland The Cult is simply the best blues/Alt/Rock band there is!! The Love Album brought us both a great 80’s rock band!!!

[@benallmark9671]

The best !

[@jeffkameny9492]

Damn that guitar tone is masterful

[@shawnray2941]

Saw them about 3 weeks ago......the is something magical about Ian's voice and Billy's guitar together......transports me to another place. He pulled the same type thing with a security guard when I saw them as well...he went on a long rant.

[@tats7859]

Well he went on and sang with the doors, maybe he was trying to start where Morrison left off... Morrison was confrontation with security and sometimes with fans as well...

[@cbow8926]

Saw them last night and besides the geriatric fight - it was phenomenal. His voice was amazing and has aged perfectly. Suck it Vince Neil!

flash back to the Spectrum in 89, opening for Metallica, when Ian did throwdown with some mug.

@@rresmini I was there! I remember that. It was my first time seeing the cult.

Ian shut up and sing ! Like he could kick anybody ass.

[@curiousmind0072]

😊 My dream is to seeeeee these guys in concert!!! I hope it happens. Im in Mn

[@joshwaldo1917]

He's still retained his voice. I went to see them at the Warfield in SF, Back in 86 and there was a little unknown band from LA opening named Guns&Rose's, front stage first row. Between both of the bands it blew my F'n mind.

[@tinaballinger2903]

Now that is "The Cult" absolutely beautiful! They have never failed on their music. I have been listening to there music since 1989. They never disappoint. Hoping I could see them in Holland or Germany Ian Asbury u r ontop.

Thanks for sharing your recordings. The Cult shows are very rare in Brazil. By sharing your material, you contribute to the preservation of The Cult's history! :) Please, an information: from this show 2022-07-22 Metropolitan Opera House, Philadelphia, PA, USA you would have the songs 05 Soul Asylum and 06 Edie (Ciao Baby)? Thank you!

[@stevendavid5370]

After seeing the video, I have no idea who or what Ian was pissed at and what was said. But The Cult sounded so fucking awesome, Ian was vocally totally on top of his game and so was Duffy and and the band. Love them!! Can't wait until their new album comes out, that's right folks, in September 2022. Yeah!!

[@Mainecat21]

Ian is far from on point, he totally botches the lyrics on she sells. Saw them in Atl a few months ago, band was awesome, Ian was terrible.

[@noelleonard2498]

Love this song...I was trying to think what movie had this song playing while I was watching....I remember liking this song even more (if that's possible) and it had dawned on me what movie that was...not sure if any of you fans ever saw the movie "With Honors", but I promise you, if you haven't, check it out...Joe Pesci is in it and plays an incredible character in this...it's one of my top 10s movies...!!

1 COOL GUY. 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@sgt.thundercok4704]

Nice to not see a bunch of phones up.

[@michaelgierula1740]

We were at this show and he stopped the show at the beginning b!+ching about the phones, so most people put them away and lived in the moment. It was a great gig until he went off the deep end at the end. Put a total damper on the vibe as we were leaving. 🤷

[@sgt.thundercok4704]

@@michaelgierula1740 I'm not sure where his ranting is coming from.

[@michaelgierula1740]

@@sgt.thundercok4704 yeah, us neither. Ian just seemed out of sorts. It was early in the tour, and his energy wasn't great in the show. Notice he commented that wasn't sure if he was in Philly or Baltimore. It looks like he was looking for an excuse to go off on someone at the end. Like I said, it took a great ending to the show and bummed us out when he had his tantrum like he was going to fight a guy in the front SRO.

Então tu sabe a história que ele "deitou" a banda inteira na porrada no Rio de Janeiro em 93/94 acho... foi a primeira vez que ele e o Billy deram um tempo, só voltaram em 2001. Ele faz alguma arte marcial, sem dúvida.

[@dynjarren8355]

Confronting people is the easiest way to get shot or stabbed these days. I would only confront someone if they were physically attacking me or someone who’s in trouble. But provoking anyone to fight is sheer lunacy. Ian Astbury is pushing his luck. I hope nothing bad happens to him but I wish he would let things slide. He’s asking for trouble. 👎🏻

[@kingryanidas17]

Yeah let bullies get away with bullying, You have to fight back regardless of outcome, You can choose to play it safe and be a victim but real warriors fight back.

@@kingryanidas17 You misread what I said. I said I would confront someone only if they attacked me first. But I wouldn’t provoke anyone. That’s foolish! It’s called Self Defense! Not provocation!
