Interview with Ian Astbury of the Cult - Pt 1/3

Adam Morrison talks to The Cult vocalist Ian Astbury about the band's forthcoming album, Choice of Weapon, putting set lists together, a possible hip hop collaboration, and much more.

[@bongodave13]

Underrated and under-appreciated. The Cult is real rock and roll.

[@emile235]

I like listening to Ian he sems articulate and sincere yknow unlike the 95% in YOUR life

[@RoAstbury]

Ian Astbury????? Meu ídolooooooooooooooooo!!! DESDE SEMPRE!!!

[@Patriotkinvolk]

Screw all you negative types! The Cult is Great!!! What have you done to compare? Crank "Fire woman" at 10 and you'll see!

[@JonathanRingo]

A rockstar in the truest sense of the word.

[@rosanadacunha5640]

My sweet boy my sweet Ian

[@jughead1968]

The Cult is real rock and roll band with great music and the interviewer does have good questions but the interviewer could loosen up a little but good job

[@willowmadhuridixit8991]

Jug Head the interviewer, Adam, is completely blind.

[@TommyMacLuckie]

BORN INTO THIS is great. Ian can be so weirdly critical of The Cult's work. People whine about them not recording another ELECTRIC - that's as close as they'll get. Some good dirty tunes on it. CHOICE OF WEAPON is awesome - much better than SONIC TEMPLE. It's their most mature album - Life>Death, Embers, Elemental Light, Wilderness Now - incredible ballad-type or moody songs. HFAK, For The Animals, The Wolf and Amnesia - the sound of life being torn.

[@sandrafisherhayes3219]

I have noticed that too about their criticism of earlier albums Tommy! Pity really because I love Dreamtime and Love ❤ ❤ especially Spiritwalker and 83rd Dream from their first album.

[@wildflowas]

Adam reminds me of Ben Stiller . . . and I think he needs a chair with an armrest and some cushions . . great interview :)

[@kevincobler7109]

yeah it is

[@johnnyatab]

He must have been high when he came up with those ideas about the capsules.

[@melindawakley7859]

Oh no, he now has an American accent. His accent was always a mix tho, a cross between Scottish and Midlands, and a touch of Ontario I think. Becos he had to live in Ontario for a period from age 11.

[@codge2112]

AAh the guy interviewing asks great questions but hes gripping the side of the chair like hes really scared of Ian.

[@iamkiy5290]

codge2112 😂😂

[@danieleonharper]

talk about nervous unsure of himself interviewer! good job ian is being nice to him!

[@RahulKumar-np8rk]

I think he asked some excellent questions. If this interview was in audio format, it would be flawless. Maybe he was just nervous.

[@johnnythreefour2902]

Gotten a little chubby.. still one of the most underrated singers and bands in history.

[@eliseos4127]

+Johnny Threefour Agreed. Really talented but for some reason didn't make it worldwide. Billy Duffy could calm down a bit!!

[@barbpence8784]

Johnny Threefour Very true about the weight I think it was to many cupcakes still love Ian voice The Cult 🎤🎸💕

[@willowmadhuridixit8991]

Johnny Threefour people get older. He put on weight here, he’s lost most of it. Still looks amazing, being a frontman isn’t all about looks. Some thing that Ian jokes about here. He had recent leg surgery here, and gained weight because he was recuperating.

[@jcraigb]

i believe the interviewer is either nervous as all hell or coked outta his gourd

[@kerrykoeppen7678]

Incessant diaharreha

[@10dfreed]

narcissistic at times maybe but recruited to Doors project with other singers, pretends to be no one. do your homework

[@mikeycbaby]

The interviewer needs to sit up straight ;-)

[@willowmadhuridixit8991]

mikeycbaby he’s blind.

[@goesjem]

@@willowmadhuridixit8991 Well spotted. He is simply balancing himself comfortably in his chair. He did a great job. Good listener and gave space.
