One of the best guitar riffs ever

[@johngitano5321]

I heard this song when I was a bouncer in clubs in NYC in the 1980's. I loved it. But over time, I couldn't remember the title or who it was by. I always kept watch for 35+ years for the name of this song and who performed it..until tonight! I even heard it as soundtrack during the last Super Bowl right before a commercial break. I'm glad it finally found me!

[@nopisful]

The Cult is one of those rare bands who have a very unique sound, you know it's them and only them when you hear it.

[@morgansdoor]

Isn't anyone gonna talk about how beautiful Ian's hair looks??😍 Absolutely stunning.

@@darrenfartman1866 I just said, I love The Cult on the albums just not live. Same for Fleetwood Mac or Mötley Crüe. Ratt would be a good comparison, how a live band should sound like. At least in the early to mid-80s. Or Metallica concert 1989 in Seattle or 1986 in Toronto. As for today, I would say that from all rock or metal bands out there Metallica and Mark Knopfler do have the best live sound.

Load of people commenting on Ian’s voice here. A lot of live performances from around the 3rd album era document him losing his voice, but that said, have you ever played a show that rowdy and focused on trying to sing note for note like the record? It doesn’t work that way, despite how off his head he may or may not be here 😂

[@artimusbill]

Not arguing necessarily but I have yet to hear him sing live where he sounded on. Here he seems stoned or whatever. Newer videos he seems just to not give a crap.

[@JimmyReece95]

@@artimusbill he’s drunk here and he chained smoked a lot during the late 80’s. As you get older naturally your voice changes so they’ve dropped the key down on alot of songs. But I think as a showman he really brings it. I remember seeing him off stage during before an encore and he looked understandably tired, Came right back and smashed it, on the same level as Jagger in his heyday. And For me, I like looseness in his vocals, every performance is slightly different dependent on how he chooses to phrase notes, whether that’s to do with getting older or just his mood,I think it makes it a unique experience, if I wanted it note for note perfect I’d listen to the record To each is own though, respect your opinion ✌🏾
