*LOVE IT* 🎵 The Cult "Sweet Soul Sister" Reaction

[@dannypatterson3385]

I say it on all these reaction channels. Here it is again. This band was CRIMINALLY underrated. I mean embarrassingly so.

[@anthonyv1719]

Underated, iconic band. Earlier stuff was "alternative" then they went "rock" then they went leaning to "heavy metal"..... best work in alternative then rock.

[@raymo6795]

...I agree Anthony, this is my favorite album by the Cult

[@TimothySmiths]

Early stuff was Goth ..When they were Southern Death Cult..before shortening it to The Cult and going the more rock route.

[@Lowdowndog]

Soldier Blue or Edie (ciao baby) off the same album or go back further to She Sells Sanctuary or Rain. Then there’s Wild Flower and Lil’ Devil, the list goes on. Great band🤟

[@DaveCosley]

Ciao Edie....for sure :)

[@claybass3631]

Rain is a great song... fire woman is what introduced me to em.

[@davebuck6134]

Yeah fire woman is a definitely

[@cryptoking7093]

Soldier blue? He must've needed the money🤣 - Dice Clay

[@jeffreyaverett1800]

I'd throw Sacred Life in there too, a great tribute to flames that have gone out too soon.

[@kellifranklin4432]

I don't know who suggested this song but I'm grateful. The Cult is such an underrated rock band. They are simply fantastic and they have the ability to transport you somewhere else with their music. My faves are "Rain" and "Fire Woman." The Cult fans here are die hard fans. I can guarantee you that!

[@danpetersson5402]

At last! One of the best songs by one of the best bands!

[@WykkedMofo]

I've enjoyed all of The Cult's albums, but Electric and Sonic Temple. Those are my 2 favorite albums from them. It is a rabbit hole WELL worth exploring! Might I suggest Fire Woman, Love Removal Machine, Wild Flower, Rain and Edie(Ciao baby). GREAT reaction as ALWAYS. Love the channel. Keep up the good work! \m/

[@Rodzilla131]

Love is a great album too I saw them perform otlliy in full on tour in Canada. Great show

[@TempeLane11552]

Duffy can really play, doesn't get enough credit.

[@Fakename70]

I’d rate him over Slash all day

[@weebles1695]

Riff daddy, as I saw a comment once say about him 🤣

[@Gordy63]

Lex is onto something with the stripper vibe she’s getting. The song “Fire Woman” off the same album was a HUGE hit and favorite in the strip clubs at the time (so I’ve been told 😁). The Cult is a very under-appreciated band in my opinion. If I could recommend just one of their songs to listen to, I would have to say Love Removal Machine off their Electric album. That is a true banger!

[@richardcranium5048]

That strip club thing was making it around, I see. I was "told" the same... Weird ain't it

[@johnow7]

I was "told" by some guy about how him and the stripper were the only ones on the floor and they both were singing to the song as she danced and he paused as she sang, "Dancing like a cat on a hot tin shack" and she paused when he sang "Come on little sister." It was all spontaneous and pretty cool. That was what he "told" me anyway.

[@melissas4874]

I assume the person is a different worker. One of the lyrics is wrong - it should be "hustle and strut through Paris at night". So a woman who works all night on the streets?

[@johnow7]

@@melissas4874 I think you got the wrong conversation.

[@melissas4874]

@@johnow7 Well I wasn't replying to you. So the way KZbin works is that someone can reply to an initial comment and it will come after yours - it doesn't mean it was sent to you unless your name is actually included in the response (and it wasn't). So that's today's lesson.

[@pwph8361]

Back in 89 when I was 17 I saw this CD lying on the speaker at home, it was my brothers. No-one was home and we had a KICK ASS stereo system, so I put it on, cranked it up, and never looked back. I am rocker from the roots up, and this album literally set me on my path. Legend

[@talon7132]

The Cult has been my all time favorite band since their debut album " Dreamtime " and the song that hooked me was Spiritwalker. I have been lucky enough to stumble into a job as a Stagehand for a very long time now. Thanks to my job I have not only seen them live about a dozen times now but I met Billy (guitarist) and Ian (singer)

[@jcstato9048]

Never seen them live unfortunately, but met billy duffy once at stanstead airport! Guy is a legend!

[@Infyra]

I saw them live when they opened up for The Who like 10 years ago.

[@Gordy63]

I saw them live at the Harden State Art Center, warming up for Billy Idol. I was there to see The Cult and they did not disappoint!

[@Gordy63]

Correction - Garden State Arts Center

[@Patdcdc]

same same

[@Plan9-3127]

So glad you did this one!! The Cult NEVER disappoints... There's not one bad song on this album...

[@michaelbelvin5061]

One of the best albums ever!!!

[@frankiebanali4202]

I believe I've responded before...keep the CULT coming. They are an awesome band. Edie (Ciao) Baby, Sun King, She Sells Sanctuary, Love Removal Machine, Rain, Wild Flower, Peace Dog...and an on and on. They are a great band. One of my favorites. Thanks for this reaction!

[@marckusel5602]

Amazing band. Every album had a different feel and sound. You hit one of my faves.

[@volbeatrules6528]

Yes! Someone finally did it! Fantastic album!!!

[@johntremmel3949]

You have to watch fire woman live that singer is something to see in life👍👍👍👍

[@jamescarletta802]

Thanks lex I been a biker for over 40 years and your right it has a biker vibe

[@Mudflap1974]

My favorite song by The Cult! Thanks, great channel! Gotta do "Fire Woman" next.

[@stevedaniels623]

No band is cooler than The Cult!!! 😎

[@ericsierra-franco7802]

The entire Sonic Temple album is fantastic! 👍

[@brettkenschaft4239]

Just noticed this.... Sweet Soul Sister, She Sells Sanctuary. Nice alliteration 😂

[@anthonyv1719]

The CULTS "the Witch" and "Love removal machine" and "rain" all excellent work.

[@Tom-lr8wb]

As others mentioned Love Removal Machine is strong, Sea Shells Sanctuary, Wild Flower, Fire Woman all were alt rock staples.

[@mikethemotormouth]

[@leeblack1277]

“Fire Woman” official video has some of the greatest energy.

[@robertherring9277]

This album is pure awesome from start to finish.

[@johnmilner4778]

Billy Duffy laying down the riffs...epic!

[@metallicafan416]

Saw this band as a opening act at a concert. They sounded amazing live that night way above average. If you get it done live you always have my respect ✌

[@exerciseforidiots2296]

The entire album is AWESOME

[@kevinmiller1121]

My favorite band for over 30 years, and one of my favorite songs. This one was written about Black Panther and longtime activist Angela Davis.

[@charliegeorge9393]

thanks pal, didn't know this

[@inagreenminute6525]

1 of my favorite songs.. GREAT BAND and this songs ranks on the same listing as Brown Sugar by The Rolling Stones for us Sistas!!! Ian Astbury and Billy Duffy RULE!

[@leonardcarlucci5761]

One of the most underrated bands ! Glad you finally checked out one of there songs

[@ryanprentice6921]

One of the most iconic album covers ever too

[@elliottwesterman7704]

I’m so glad you think you like the cult. Absolutely my favorite band. It gets better and better the deeper you go. just a great straight up rock band.

[@cgrist7000]

Fun fact: The singer Ian was asked by the remaining members of the Doors to stand in for Jim Morrison on a reunion performance

[@Emar3277]

The Cult is great! Great choice! I recommend Wild Hearted Son. Great song.

[@da_blade5040]

Great Distinct Sound! The Cult deliveres for sure!! 😁💯🎸 Amazing Band for sure!!

[@JohnHunter-pb4vk]

Grew up to this band and got to party with them once after a concert was amazing most underated band in my view

[@ashleydixon4613]

Oooh...just listen to Billy Duffy, just rocking out with that guitar solo. 🔥

[@joloj23]

The Cult have excellent songs! Always been one of my favorites. So many songs.

[@jimtatro6550]

Fire Woman and She Sells Sanctuary are great songs from these guys.🔥🎧

[@jonathanmartin3767]

You can't go wrong with The Cult. My favorite is still Wildflower. But this is a great song by them.

[@johnniehoney6561]

It's my fave too. Great tune.

[@inagreenminute6525]

Went to 4 shows this year where they gave out The Cult wildflower seeds for fans to get environmentally progressive!!!

[@joeraymorton2414]

The Cult ROCKS!!! 🎸

[@guitarman8462]

I saw them in concert back in the days. And you'll never guess who was opening for them ? G n R !!! 😂😂😂

[@riphopfer5816]

I have so many amazing memories connected to this record. This song and ‘Fire Woman’ both have some of the catchiest, most soaring, chorus sections of all time. I was a rock ‘n’ roll frontman, in the 90s; blessed with both guitar and vocal talent, and The Cult were one of the bands I most enjoyed covering, because they gave me a chance to both rip it on the guitar AND exercise the full power of my voice, which, in some small venues , my natural voice could sometimes be heard over the compressed, EQ’d and effects-laden version that came out of the PA system. This caused our road manager (and sound engineer) no end of trouble in venues where they insisted we not crank our PA system.

[@charliemoss6379]

The two of you are quite adorable! It's like watching my children listen to stuff for the first time!

[@fabiorobertonascimento8370]

the cult is one of my fav bands

[@footnotedrummer]

This whole release is amazing. My wife and I listened to it all the time back in the early 90s.

[@djl9919]

what a great concert, even bought the Sonic Temple T-shirt. Rock on Brad & Lex

[@gsdfan8455]

Wild Flower and Lil Devil are two great songs with fantastic riffs

[@smittybenzo4693]

In this episode of Brad & Lex, a twenty second span of time from the intro activates Lex's "biker party bop" which she expresses before guitars shred and grimy vocals and sweet harmonies are added. Brad holds it steady with his signature "side to side sway".

[@lantzkeefer557]

Fire Woman off of Sonic Temple is another good one,I saw them in B- More on this tour.I always thought that this album had one of the best guitar sounds and the sound overall was full and loud,lol, So good

[@richardgonzales4815]

I have always loved this song … but from this day forward it will forever take on a newer and more beautiful meaning.

[@blgeiger71]

“Fire Woman” from the same album is my top favorite song from them! Matt Sorum, the drummer went on to play with Guns N Roses followed by Velvet Revolver…

[@johnniehoney6561]

Thanks guys! I requested the Cult not long ago. Great band. 👍

[@Patdcdc]

The Cult..Yesssss! Ian, Billy, James ....underated...so good! Love, Electric, Sonic T........

[@robertevans2450]

everything on this album was awesome.

[@talon7132]

Some other gems by The Cult : Spiritwalker Rain Sun King Edie Caio Baby Brother Wolf Sister Moon Nirvana they even did a cover of Born To Be Wild. Side not Ian did a small tour with the 3 still living members of the Doors and there's videos on KZbin. Look for 21st Century Doors. Dude sounds just like Morrison.

[@СветозарНовокрещенов]

Fire woman, Coming down, Star, Wild flower, American horse.

[@joebrown5120]

SPIRIT WALKER!

[@goldenruletv7301]

The Cult catalog is huge & the rabbit hole is deep. Ian Asbury has an incredible voice and Duffy is fantastic on lead guitar.

[@rikardgustafsson5345]

i worked in a factory in the 80s listening to this and i got hooked immediately

[@lynnbrannan4578]

Love Lex! My boyfriend and I back in the day loved THE CULT and he used to call me his 'FIRE WOMAN" after the song of the same name.

[@NeonNights80]

One of my favorite bands, consisting of Billy Duffy on guitar and Ian Asbury on vocals. Any song off the albums Love(1985), Electric (1987) or Sonic Temple (1989) is worth checking out. Some of the best guitar and vocals to come out of the 80's I saw them open for Metallica in 89. They got boo'ed merciously. Their performance was great, but Mettalica fans were known, at the time, to be very hostile to any band opening for them.

[@mariovarela6193]

I was showing them also in that tour and I enjoyed a lot. Those Cult in the 80s were the best

[@MS-jc9sy]

Metallica fans did the same in '94 when I saw them in Germany

[@raymo6795]

Seems Brit/ Alt /Metal should not open for American Thrash (or so it was billed at the time) metal, should not have been on the same billing. But the Cult were great band . A bit more balanced and much less "over the top" than Metallica. Ian Asbury is one of my favorite vocalists.

[@seanwalters1977]

May I suggest more of The Cult? Aphrodisiac Jacket, Fire Woman, She Sells Sanctuary, and so many more!

[@mikethemotormouth]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/rae7d3Wlr956mLc

[@davejohnson007]

Loved this one! Ian and Duffy are awesome. Best duo in Rock.....still. So many good tune from the Cult, but This and Wild Hearted Son are my 2 faves.

[@NealDamiano]

One of the greatest rock bands ever💯. Criminally underrated

[@blairm9000]

Great live show back in the day! Charisma defined.

[@gregheath8106]

I saw The Cult at the Sheraton Ballroom in Waikiki, HI back in the late 80's. Great show.

[@aneelb3623]

Ian got a great voice. Seen them live twice!

[@timcrowley38]

I remember seeing The Cult open for Billy Idol. Great show.

[@icfrac8481]

love to watch you reacting, love this song!

[@chrishall2930]

I don't know what I love more, this song or Lex loving this song.

[@mikegoin6023]

Great reaction. Another underrated band you might enjoy is Bang Tango. "Midnight Struck" would be a good intro song.

[@d.bcooper7819]

I was there when this played in the strip clubs, total anthem for the dancers.

[@joekuul8769]

Wow! Hadn't heard this one in forever. Forgot all about it.

[@gamalielgonzalez9262]

Like others said earlier, check out “Fire Woman”

[@SCARswimming]

I love The Cult, Sonic Temple is a great album , the music just drives at you.

[@perhansson4796]

I saw The Cult opening for Aerosmith in Stockholm in 89. What a great show, The Cult just making it’s broader breakthrough and Aerosmith just released “Pump” the second album after there comeback. Both band giving there all in that concert, hungry to show how good they were. Saw The Cult once more in the early 90s but nothing could top there performance in 89.

[@MichaelSorensen-bl3ec]

One of my desert island discs. Great band, awesome album.

[@normbittner3762]

Fire Woman by them is even better!

[@McShaganpronouncedShaegen]

Fire Woman, Rain, Love Removal Machine. are all top tracks

[@stacypollock9289]

Merry Christmas you two. Rock on

[@bryanlasermagiktyler3132]

I got to see them live VIP passes got to hang out with them very cool people

[@tommylakindasorta3068]

Another great song by the Cult is Wild Hearted Son. Keep the bangers coming!

[@johnsrensen3366]

One of british best rock band back in the 80s I like them still today and this song is phantastic 😎

[@jayman58016]

The whole Sonic Temple album is amazing

[@TheTracystamand]

I love Lex ❤️she's so chill ❤️

[@thedawgfather5410]

The cult "Love" is a spiritual touchstone.

[@caucasianbulldog6057]

Billy Duffy really was a terrific guitar player and a huge part of the band's sound, and preferred hollow body guitars.

[@213Slaytanic]

The Cult is a great rock and roll band. Y'all should check out more of their songs. The sound fantastic live too. They still tour.

[@Claythargic]

The Southern Death Cult became the Death Cult which became the Cult. and yeah one of those bands that has been cranking out great music forever. Electric is one of my all time favorite albums.

[@frankrizzo4460]

Ian Astbury definitely has to be related to Jim Morrison somewhere down the line.🤔 I saw them live many times back in the 90s they put on a great show.

[@kellymoriarityApr66]

You guys are picking the best songs… these songs were the soundtrack to my 20s … The Cult was one of my favorites

[@simonmonk7266]

God I remember hearing this and other songs at the old clubs 30 years ago now . God I'm bloody old lol

[@stephenlee7877]

Brilliant band

[@jamesdavisjr6937]

Absolutely love the cult just listen to the love albumn from start to end rain ,big neon glitter ,nirvana ,brother wolf sister moon are just a few to start just of that albumn but would love to see you do white off the ceremony album

[@thingthe6568]

Hi! Merry Christmas from Hungary!

[@hughmoore3251]

Hey - I've in the US, and have been checking out a lot of music from Europe. Some stuff out of Hungary is fantastic! I know it's a different genre, but I keep recommending people to react to Majka and Kowalsky Meg A Vega. No luck, yet. Anyway - Cheers!

[@cristianovia]

One of my favorite bands! Great stuff. Brother wolf sister moon is one tolisten to

[@albertobetto522]

"BILAL - SOUL SISTA" that's the jam right there🔥💯

The whole Cult stuff ROCKS!!!!!!!!🤟🤟🤟

[@kentmains7763]

Excellent band that doesn't get the attention they deserve.

[@TheJonasbz]

This album is fantastic

[@IDONTCAREWYT]

This song was a HUGE hit when it was released. Fun fact: The Cult got its start as a deathrock/goth band in the UK, named Southern Death Cult. Later, they became Death Cult, and eventually settled on The Cult.

[@Patdcdc]

and the evoluton from one album to another
