It's funny because you watch Ian Astbury (the lead singer) in interviews, he seems like a very soft spoken (literally, he talks super quiet) British man. Then you hear him sing, and he has one of the most massive voices ever.

[@beachbum6460]

Yes, his speaking voice is so contradictive to the singing. I was surprised when I first heard it.

[@matthewweng8483]

When I lived in LA, Ian Astbury would sometimes be hanging out at the clubs - The Whiskey, Viper Room, etc... whatever band would hear that he was there and start playing Cult opening riffs and he would jump up on stage and do as many Cult songs as they new - it kind of became a thing... he even just sang Happy Birthday to a girl once. He was really cool and super approachable.

Great band. Probably don't get enough credit for being as good as they are. I adore his voice and he definitely has an undeniable stage presence as a front man.

My sister caught one of Ian’s tambourines at one of his concerts and had it personally signed years later. True story: Before one of the Cults concerts, we saw Ian at a Starbucks and my sister had brought the tambourine with her (hoping to get it signed) She was hesitant to approach him and ask him to sign it, not wanting to make a scene. (I kept nudging her to go up to him) She went up to him respectfully and told him we were there to watch his concert that night. Ian seemed bothered but signed her tambourine anyway. To this day she still has that tambourine.

[@markwillis675]

Great tune. Ian actually sang with the Doors many years after Jim died.

Matt sorum was the drummer for The Cult for quite a while then he became the drummer for Guns and Roses during the 90s

[@rbilleaud]

Don't forget Velvet Revolver. It's kind of funny. You see him here and in GNR and he looks so tough and menacing, but to hear him talk, he's got this high pitched, kind of nasally tone, and he's on the shorter side. He's definitely a perfectionist. He doesn't tolerate messing around.

[@Rayruit]

Matt Sorum did not play on this one. He only toured with them on the Sonic Temple Tour in 1989. The drums on the album is by Mickey Curry, who used to play in Bryan Adams' band. Sorum only played with The Cult in 2001 on their comeback album Beyond Good and Evil, after he got fired by Axl. Shortly after touring with The Cult he then started with Velvet Revolver with Slash, Duff and Scott Weiland.

He replaced Steven Adler.

Matt Sorum did not play drums on Sonic Temple. He joined after the album was recorded and played on the tour then joined GNR. The only album Sorum recorded with The Cult was Beyond Good And Evil in 2001.

Ian Astbury was heavily influenced by The "Doors." He once said that The Doors song "The End" was a religious experience. Ironically, he became The Doors lead singer when they reunited for a time. He actually got to sing with his idols...how freaking cool is that man!!

[@diannagrose608]

Ian's family were new immigrants from Scotland during the 70's. He has mentioned in news articles that he hung around Brantfords Six nations reserves with friends he met from school. Anyway, he left Canada during the late70s and 80s and went back to the UK, and the rest is history, as they say!
