The Cult- "AMERICAN HORSE" - NEW!!!!!

[@paulocoppi4287]

I bought this LP in 1988. And now, 2020, during the quarentine time, I can feel the same energy. Great song!

[@daves4645]

I've been quarantining with the Love and Ceremony albums.

I stumbled on this song putting my workout soundtrack together. I don't remember this song ever getting any airplay when it came out in 1989.

[@RockylV]

The Cult, one of my adolecent favorite band

[@johnmatvia1842]

One of the best band's underrated big time 👍🇺🇸

[@CSX4758]

This track is one of my all time favorites, the riff beginning around 3:35 is one of the most muscular hard rock sounds. you did a great job with the visuals to go with this; thanks so much for doing it.

[@hanstubb]

Yes, one of me all time favorite songs ever! . . . ! And I live in Arizona where I feel it...

[@RockWillkeepOnRollin]

THE END CODA TO THIS SONG HAS INVARIABLY GIVEN ME CHILLS EVEN AFTER LISTENING TO THIS SOME 30 YEARS. IT IS SO POWERFUL...

[@ACERAMGAD]

Yes indeed! Feel the same! Very cool!

[@brucefranklin6295]

Best part

[@coachNewman17]

This has to be The Cult's best song. Too bad we don't get music like this anymore

[@sybrandandringa2970]

best rock song ever

[@gmandersonjr]

One the best bands I ever saw hands down. They were so loud and good and the show never seemed to let up for the 2.5 hours they were on stage!

[@Deedee-ee1sg]

Lovely compilation, Lady Karen! Ian Astbury was probably the most handsome man in rock back then! I have big love for The Cult! They're amazing live, I've seen them several times.

[@metropic1]

Have re-discovered The Cult after walking away in 1989 after a "disagreement" with IA at The Scrapbar(NYC) The most under-rated band ever, this was the soundtrack to my time in New York, Thanks for your videos! Love the new CD, see you in ATL June 17. Viva La Cult!

[@chipmunkboots]

Needing more of this on the radio. On a 10 minute loop!!

[@markg3780]

Awesome song! Most underrated band ever. Ian kicks ass!

[@AdrenochromeDream]

As for the meaning of the song, here's Ian Astbury's own words: The Cult's front man, Ian Astbury, explains the inspiration behind this song: "When I wrote 'American Horse,' I had an image in my mind of a black stallion with an American flag draped over his back, being whipped by some kind of dark figure. The horse and his mane have an eagle feather, and Indian beadwork, so I kinda took this to represent the American Indian nation." Astbury is fascinated by Native American culture and has been known to wear feathers in his hair on stage in nod to the culture. When Astbury was boy, he moved to Canada from England, and it was here that Astbury was introduced to Native American culture first-hand: "I travelled to a six-nation reservation and there I was exposed to a native people in their own environment. I later became fascinated with Native American Indian religious and political systems. I saw a whole lot more truth and wisdom there than in what I was being taught by my white schoolteachers." Astbury's interest would manifest itself most prominently on The Cult's fifth album, Ceremony, which was highly influenced by Native American culture.

[@rawknob]

i haven't, but wish i had as this is a conversation that a friend and i have had a few times, the awkwardness of brittish artists in the 80's being obsessed with native americans, adam ant etc

[@anthonyfesta1224]

AdrenochromeDream CRAZY HORSE...They Thought he was CRAZY! No whip needed!!!

[@throwbackjunction8496]

I was always thought it was about Ronald Reagan

[@audieconrad8995]

Dude - that is excellent. Thanks for the insight. Well done!

[@MedicineWolf]

I mean, seriously. Wasn’t my favorite song on the record when it came out, but it is now.

[@gerdaturul5988]

i love all their albums

[@angelomorello4539]

❤ this freaking song

[@iamyourfatherable]

[@dmemswiler]

[@neuregel]

best song on sonic temple

[@BubbaZen10]

Agreed. one of their best period/

[@poprip]

I saw that tour and the previous one for Electric. Man it's so god damn good it still gives me chills. I saw the following tour, and then again a few times. Even Ian with the Doors which was awesome as well! Jason Bonham was opening for the Sonic Temple tour in Montreal. And we were all on magic mushrooms! lol... quite an experience!

[@davidcampbell7831]

I saw them the very next night in Ottawa! Fantastic show.

[@Hydrosized]

It’s amazing watching this NEW video! 2024

[@paulzermeno6244]

The epitome of the '80s be whatever the f*** you want to be with no expectations or reservations and they're one f****** Kick-Ass band

[@ladykarendean]

I LOVE that LINE!!!!

[@BubbaZen10]

Loved your quip about the streaker on the Oscars all them years ago Dave! :)

[@ACERAMGAD]

America is like Ian! You can't tame it...Just love it!

[@gregarmstrong9334]

Real Rock n Roll !!!!!!!

[@Ayesha697]

Grazie ! Che bello ch'era Ian

[@LionelBundy]

I tamed the American Horse. Six months of smokin' that shit, and I gave it up, cold turkey. I'll admit that seeing a guy on a motorcycle get killed right in front of me on the freeway was a powerful influence to get off the poison. I danm near freaked, and that was that. No more black tar.

[@luceroastral5226]

THE CULT Obras 95 yo estuve ahí.. INOLVIDABLE

[@AdrenochromeDream]

[@ACERAMGAD]

Jim Beam and this SoNg! Woooohoooo!!!!!!!!!

[@marylynnethau5483]

I love it!!!!

[@poprip]

And I miss Jamie Stewart. I feel he influenced the music more than we think. For the Electric tour he was on rythm guitar and they hired a bassist. It was POWERFUL to say the least! Wild Flower was crazy! And a certain band called Guns N Roses was opening!

[@ladykarendean]

@CSX4758 - thank you very much. Glad you enjoyed it! LDK

[@ladykarendean]

Thank you dear gunter and Laslo! rock on.. -K

[@ACERAMGAD]

Real good!

[@jcw91371]

One of my favorites from Sonic Temple. I remember several friends of mine in different cities along with music reviewers of the time reported that Ian was getting shitfaced throughout this tour. And while I'm certainly not against rock and roll or the insanity that can come with it, I can't help but wonder if "less lubricated" sets on that tour might have pushed The Cult to the next level? Either way I love them and consider them to be one of the all-time greats.

[@ACERAMGAD]

Live and let live!

[@DebraNormand]

LadyKaren, where was the concert Obras '95 that is in this footage for the video? Thanks.

Well, you'd be better off trying to tame the clouds above a mountain one would suggest; which, ironically, the Hellenes of Athens tried one year to do, just prior to their recent Olympics, the suggestion being blow the damn thing up. (They didn't end up doing it though.) Alternatively, grant Statehood to Puerto Rico and Washington D.C. and allow Democracy takes its (more Democratic) course.

[@ACERAMGAD]

I can tame anythAng!

[@nicholaskruger9460]

Ian dropped the ball with his goofy spiritual shaman type thing. Missed the mark so sales didn’t go big.

[@EconAtheist]

This album was kind of badly written and badly BADLY produced, Mr. Bob Rock from the Payolas! They mighta got a little carried away.
