The Cult - Nirvana - BBC Broadcast 1987

In Concert - Brixton Academy 1987

[@swinloz1968]

I was there at this gig. we were just in front of duffy, but got split up from my mates as you can imagine from the vid! I was 19 and it was my second time That i had seen the Cult, the first time was at NEC supporting Big Country in 1984. This vid brought the whole day flooding back. priceless, Thanx.

[@garyhigson260]

The Cult were on my Walkman on every train journey to College. FRIGGIN' AWESOME! .ga.

[@LeoWhalen1933]

These guys are great. Completely unique style. Very underrated.

[@ACERAMGAD]

Magnificent! 100% Favorite!

[@takecareofyourshoess]

They are not underrated at all. MANY bands cite them as an influence. Just because they don't get played on "classic rock" radio doesn't mean they are "underrated". They are WELL RESPECTED and appreciated for what they did.

[@fabioperez1895]

the intro where duffy comes downs the stairs and bangs his head along with the crowd,, amazing

[@felineluvr]

He was probably rip roaring drunk! I love him anyway! His voice is still spectacular now in 2008!

[@eltonjohnson9249]

The best guitar jam in music history. Double guitars slamming bass and the drums.

[@undergroundbasement]

Britain's version of Jim Morrison , no wonder the Door's asked Ian to front for them in the mid-90s when they reunited.

[@ericdeforest3811]

Saw Ian with the Doors 21st Century and he nailed Jim Morrison vocals as well, with his own added flair. But, it was spot on...

[@stallownedstallion825]

Ian is better vocalist/ lyracist than Jim... and Im a yank

[@devilock68]

Great song, great performance. The Cult is the best.

[@minusss666]

Ian roars like a lion!

[@EdwoodCA]

Love the Cult! Check out the "Peace" album that was scrapped... it's the Electric album but in the Love style. So, you get Love Ian singing the Electric Ian. Great stuff. [It's also called the Manor Sessions.

[@hugolafhugolaf]

Electric Peace.

[@GodInTheMachine]

that crowd was pumped up! and that has to be the ballsiest falcon i've ever heard. saw them three times around then, they were a straight ahead heavy rock outfit that did not come to town to practice. they leveled each and every time. also saw them 5 nights at the l.a. house of blues. got to tell billy what an influence he was. a gentlemen, but not when he's got a guitar strapped on. he's mean business with a les paul. believe that.

[@ACERAMGAD]

Yayeh! ThAt FaLcOn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Ronan6610]

Billy Duffy!

[@MOSKII58]

ian reminds me a bit of michael hutchence his stage persona is similar

[@erickallan78]

great tune, great performance...the song translated very good from the "Love" era into the "Electric" mindset the band was in at the time...powerful!

[@stallownedstallion825]

[@mickaka]

I highly recommend the re-master box set of Love, it's fantastic. Comes with the a repro gatefold sleeve as well as a disc of singles, all b sides etc, a 3rd disc of unissued Demo's, and then the BBC Live in concert Disc from 1985. Search Amazon for: Love (Omnibus Edition)

[@izzavalosomerjoki]

[@RICREYNOLDSMUSIC]

These guys have always been my influence in writing music.

[@johnharmer4606]

When record company pressure & the pound sign turn originality into the mass produced....

[@franklinloll2229]

The best.

[@skippywolfram]

[@steveprecious3373]

Love this band , saw them in leeds when they were Southern Death Cult .kinda wish ian & billy had a bit more respect for others in the band cos it always seemed to be them in front of stage .

[@DUVOODUtattoo]

THANKS JIM90290 FOR THE GREAT VIDEO !!!

[@JimShadyUK]

God, I've still got this concert on video somewhere!

[@fabios66]

I was there, but was in the upper gallery, bought the ticket from Keith Prowse LTD, great concert, think I paid about £8 the two back up bands were either Bambi Slam, or The Gaye Bikers on acid, the other was Zodiac Mindwarp, very fitting for the nights headline band, I never noticed the guitarist under the arch in the background till late into the gig, thought he must have been left on stage from one of the other bands earlier,

[@allijoy95]

TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU. VIVA THE CULT lmL

[@mrnobodie1]

Billy really gives that Gretsch guitar a spanking!

[@ACERAMGAD]

KEWELLLLLL!

[@LucretiusEldritch]

This is fucking rock'n'roll.

[@chromiumveins]

One word, and it's not "plastics" for the "The Graduate" fans out there. The word is Gretsch.

[@laural1784]

❤

[@fortheloveoftunes]

Looking forward to their "Love Tour" :-)

[@ericsilberstein667]

Great alt band.

[@attitano]

@Dagate123 Jamie Stewart, is the Bass player

[@onewayinn]

Seen these guy 3 times in ATL , GA . They do the real do ..... ask her !

[@lovelystuff1562]

Beaver on his head and full leather rig too, I bet he could ring his undies out by the end of the song lol.

[@genuck]

Look at that happy crowd, don't see many of them these days.

[@rockintommy81]

Billy Duffy is the dogs mother fuckin bollocks!!! \m/

[@cyphertek]

Is Jamie Stewart on 2nd Guitar?

[@ashilardi]

impressive... ian voice begun to have défaillances jamie steward from bass to guitar I didn't know that

[@mikewilson3581]

Back when the days were longer and the hair was bigger.

[@michael.6168]

Nirvana R.I.P. Kurt Cobain

[@fluidofilm]

@Dagate123 I think is Duffy, I recognized the hairs

[@ceciliafernandez2158]

Come to Argentina and you´ll see...Bone ache the day after!

[@ducav2]

Speaking of "hair bands"...ever heard of van halen? "Jump", 1983.. years after their debut

[@sebastiaooliveira5189]

Llliiiinnndddooos

[@Logi820]

Freddie Mercury+Danzig

[@GNRlast]

Everyday uh nirvana fuk yes sik ass solo anyone who doesnt know the Cult does not know music

[@ranrio70]

@fabios66 I don't think it was a U.S.A. style. It sounded more like AC/DC. Love is still my favorite album. Bought it brand new on cassette when it first came out. Saw them in concert when they came out with Fire woman in 89 or 90 can't remember exact year. They still played Love songs.

[@NINOABSNABSN]

The Cult Heavy Metal? Is ridiculous... they never had forgotten the heavy death cult.

[@fabios66]

Though it was Les Warner on drums?

[@franknerazzurro8955]

The best age

[@franklinloll2229]

Ian sang every word on key back then. That would get boring after a while.

[@MrAlansheldon]

Kid Kaos was out of Zodiac Mindwarp

[@fantumachi]

why he is always wearing a 'totenkopf'on his hats??(ss logo)

[@LS-oq3qh]

The Cult was something that would have come out of a marriage between The Doors and Black Sabbath.

[@TomFromJersey]

@thepackage11 Not trying to bash them -- but don't you think by Electris and Sonic Temple, they started sounding more like other hard rock/metal bands out there? I've heard some people blame Rick Rubin for ruining them. I wouldn't got that far ...but I still say Love sounds totally unique -- unlike anything they, or pretty much anyone else, did.

[@aegina79]

the one and only cult......wolfchild!!!!!!!!!!

[@facusrock]

sa-be-lo

[@neilus]

@mantarayification the Cult, innovators? well i guess if you consider regurgitating every tired old rock cliche to be innovation...Pixies on the other hand dont deserve to me mentioned on the same planet as these guys, they were truly original and had a huge and lasting impact...sort it out mate

[@Kelly14UK]

Why do artists always start gigs fully clothed KNOWING full well, the heat will strip them within the 90 minute gig?

[@fubmw]

Kind of funny how The Cult introduced Nirvana> Beautiful huh?

[@sebastiaooliveira5189]

No concuerdo Ian ista hermoso como siempre perdoname no ablo espanhol

[@sadfuk]

@thepackage11 Agree with everything except the bandana issue.I put it to you that axl and ian got the idea, from steven tyler of aerosmith. Sorry for nit picking but couldn't help myself.

[@gpenriquez2003]

yo tuve la suerte de conocer a Ian tengo una linda foto con el es una pena como esta hoy en dia, que buenos tiempos estos
