Song came out on the album Love in 1985. I was 16. Sounded great then. Sounds great live now. Wish I looked that good after that many years. Every generation has a handful of bands and artists whose music never gets old. Inspires new fans. Would love to see them in Pittsburgh. I can guarantee 5 ticket sales.

[@CathyHarvey-w8h]

Glad to know thier still out touring ,only wish they'd come close to Virginia. Good to see them looking good too,Love this band

Do you know most hard rock vocalists decline over they years, they often have problems with vocal nodes, but his voice is still amazing, perhaps even better than it was.

Essa música do The Cult é top é muito bom ver versões e apresentações diferentes, muito top essa apresentação parabéns campeão 🖒🖒🖒👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏saudações dos broder do Brasil são Paulo

[@mikamusic4503]

Duffy: pissed off as usual. I worked the pit at one of their gigs in 2012 or so and he literally booted his monitor right on top of me. I've actually spoken to him since and he apologised. I can empathise: I have a White Falcon and a Jazz chorus too - not easy to get what you want.

[@kevinbennett437]

Been in to The Cult since day one and was at the London Lyceum for the culmination of their first tour in 1984. Strange, because I don't remember Astbury having an American accent back then....and it certainly doesn't enhance what is one of the greatest songs of all time. Also......was this show played in a mortuary, as the crowd seem to be dead!

[@jameshartmann5258]

yes, the crowd sucked

[@Galloway278]

I was literally thinking the same thing as I watch this wondering if it was a cover band because of his accent. Sounds totally American! Does he live here now? A lot of my favorite British bands from the 80s are now American citizens.

[@Galloway278]

And yeah this crowd is so lame. They’re coming to my city in April and I’m going to be headbanging hard. I swear I have way more energy at concerts now than I did when I was a teen. I also don’t care now what people around me think like I used to. Lol

[@tl1572]

Astbury has lived in AMerica for 35 years....

[@Galloway278]

@@tl1572 I have been so surprised by how many of my favorite 80s British musicians live here now and are even citizens. John Lydon, Dave Gahan, Martin Gore, Vince Clark, to name a few.

yes, but his grumpy old man response to the drum solo request should have been "great idea, mate"...it worked as a nice "fill" in for that particular moment

@@brianingell3174 Not when you're paying to hear the songs sung properly. Audiences pay money to see and hear songs as they were recorded,not some weird derivation that is the whim of the artist on a particular night.

@@Kwanglebeh have you ever even been to a concert? i've never seen one where it's a lip sync of the album. i was just saying that if you're expecting that type of show you're generally going to be disappointed. watch the number of versions of this song that are on YT right now and none are the exact same as the record and how boring would that be anyway?.....

It’s because he doesn’t have the range anymore.

[@gui-texzan7477]

Always loved the song musically, however "makes my back burn?" Is this supposed to be an expression of emotion? Jealousy? Betrayal? Anger? WTF

Anxiety and the stresses of adult life and work what the expectations of being an adult man are.

[@MrThistlethwaite]

@@devinthierault Thanks for replying, but the expression in America for what you're describing is "breaking my back." You're expecting too much of me. Maybe there's a different saying in England. We also have "burns my ass" which is just a general expression of anger/resentment.
