Love Removal Machine - The Cult | College Students' FIRST TIME REACTION!

Billy Duffy is an often forgotten-about guitarist, but he shouldn't be. He's a huge part of the Cult sound. That Gretsch White Falcon doesn't sound better in anyone else's hands.

[@jonfazzone5125]

Love Mr Duffy. One of my Favorite Guitarist. Didn’t know it at the time but Billy pays homage to my Guitar Hero Mick Ronson. Billy plays his “Woody” Les Paul just like Ronson played during David Bowie’s Ziggy Stardust Era & Ian Hunter Schizophrenic Album era. 2 Guitar Gods in my humble opinion

Hands down the most uncanny Falcon player ever. Even lovers of them would have never guessed his sound was coming from one. What an artist.

This is exactly what I don'r like as much in the majority of the 90's grunge bands etc. Love Cornell, Layne Stayley . The guitarists in those bands? Not so much. The Cult, Kings X, Living Colour all began in the 80's all.transformative, mesmerizing guitarists !!!

Ian Astbury one of the most underrated front men in Rock history! Definitely a throwback lead singer.

I saw Cult singer " Ian Asturbury"with "The Doors" filling the very big shoes of Jim ,Morrison. Many of the audience had no idea who he was(some thought singer of the Cure) Not only did he win the crowd over, he truly captured the spirit of Morrison and killed it!!!!! A better fit they could not find. Check Ian Asturbury with the Doors " Break on Through !!! Cult follow up 1) Edie(Ciao Baby) truly Epic!!

[@gog583]

Yeah I saw a few performances by them (Going as "Doors 2000" then. Filled in really nice. But.....I've always thought Astbury had a Morrion like vibe at times. Both he Glen Danzig for that matter.

@C Summers I agree, I think Vedder killed it in that performance. But then again, Vedder kinda reminded me of Morrison when I first saw him live, he has the same wicked energy. :)

"Electric" was a great rock album. The band laid off the effects of "Love" and just went full AC/DC-Zeppelin. Saw them tour this album in Vancouver, late August '87 with G&R the openers--Guns and "Appetite" wouldn't find any traction for about nine months, and when they did...wow.

F'n yes! The Cult deserves more respect. Always loved Duffy's bare-bones guitar playing. Cheers!

[@ednicholson7839]

In the mid 80s the 70s classic rock sound could not have been more out of style. If you were a teen and wanted loud guitars you generally found it in the hair bands, 80s metal or punk rock. And then this album comes out. It wasn't hugely popular but it made its mark -- and it rocks like hell. Other "indie" bands like Jane's Addiction and The Pixies were on the ascent, GnR was about to break -- and grunge would break a few years later. The Cult's Electric was a big part of all of the change happening at the time. Check out "Wild Flower", "Rain" and "Fire Woman" next.

[@jonathanlocke6404]

I really appreciate this observation. I wanted to say something similar, but it wouldn't have been this articulate. We were deep into the R.E.M. thing, and no one was admitting to liking AC/DC or Aerosmith. And The Cult had come out of a sort of post-punk almost goth scene, so they were definitely still considered alternative. With this album, I almost sensed there was a certain humor to it: "Oh, you think hard rock is uncool? How about if we just strip it down and do it like this? Huh? Like that?" I loved it right away, but I had friends who were calling them sellouts (which was goofy, because this music wasn't gonna bowl over the Top 40 or nothing). At least they said that for a couple of weeks, until they finally admitted: "Yeah, this is actually pretty good"...Heh...

[@heathertutwiler]

So well said!!

[@charliemac64]

This album, indeed, rocks like hell.

[@roncarnes5724]

I disagree that the classic rock sound was out of style. There were "Zeppitators" everywhere. There were many '80s kids like me that didn't like most '80s rock. But you were dead on about The Cult and Jane's Addiction being bridge bands that set the table for alternative and grunge

“Electric” is a banger period. Lots of hard grooving tunes. This band has been neglected too long. Astbury is the 80s Jim Morrison. So charismatic. A&A please indulge. Regarding the bass. Yes, sexy, but after wearing my ear pods the part that really gets me rolling was Ian coming in with the tambourine during the chorus .

[@colinbenidt9052]

I think when you say “80s hard rock”, you are referring more to the late 80s alternative rock sound that eventually gave birth to grunge. So I’d say bands from this era that fit this would be like The Pixies, early Jane’s Addiction, Living Colour, maybe White Zombie, and a couple others. One of my favorite bands of all time The Replacements helped create what we now think of as modern hard/alternative rock, as well as we’re precursors to grunge. They’re considered one of the greatest and most influential bands of all time by pretty much all top music magazines and critics, and most famous rock musicians currently between 30-50ish consider them one of their top influences. Kurt Cobain famously mentioned how much he loved them and was influenced by them. They were doing the “late 80s hard rock/alternative rock” sound, years before, like in the early to mid 80s. They’re basically simultaneously the link between the hardcore punk sound from the early 80s (like bands like Black Flag or Minor Threat), to more experimental hard stuff like The Pixies or Sonic Youth, to grunge and polished 90s pop rock like the Goo Goo Dolls (with a little bit of melodic and experimental new wave thrown in the middle for good measure). A good sample of tracks restoring their iconic “hard rock” sound would be Bastards of Young, Left of the Dial, and Alex Chilton. The latter is their most famous but is more from their polished poppy semi-new wave phase. All of those are melodic and some of their best crafted tracks. They definitely have more raw/experimental/harder stuff, but these are very accessible starter tracks when your just starting to learn who they are.

Next should be "Edie (Ciao baby)" but not before reading up on the context of the song. Pretty much all songs by "The Cult" have a deeper meaning, but "Edie" is one, you want to know the story of before hearing the song. It's a rollercoaster of a story that is about Edie Sedgwick, Andy Warhol, "The Factory", drug abuse, and depressions. (the story, not the song!.. well.. kinda) Heck, there are even a few conspiracies to be found around that story. (nope, not gonna tell it here, post would be a mile long lol) Thnx for the react guys, The Cult is one of those Juggernauts that kind of slipped of the radar for a lot of people, but whos music is still as powerful today, as it ever was.
