I'm an old boomer. When everybody was swooning to Guns & Roses in the 80's The Cult was my band.

[@Kevin_747]

@Doctor Detroit yeah, you're right. 28 in 1985 was old.

[@endtyme1345]

The Cult were better than G&R IMHO. G&R has two, three..(since "Use Your Illusion" was separated) albums while The Cult has no single bad album and never disappeared for such a long time.

[@sdc6447]

I'd take these guys every day of the week and twice on Sunday over Guns and Roses. Guns were OK but to me overhyped.

[@declanlister2762]

Its kinda mad slash was from stoke on trent and billy was from Bradford

[@andrewmvenegas]

Coincidently, in…’88 my friends and I went to see The Cult play at Seattle’s Paramount Theatre. Guns and Roses was an unknown opening act. Never has an opening act BLOWN THE HEADLINER AWAY such as that day. Axel was 100% awesome and every new song (to us) was amazing. And, Ian was as horrible sounding that night as he is in this video. The Cult deserves a better frontman. Anyway, we left bigger G&R fans.
