The Cult - The Witch HD

[@Vincent.Duquesne.]

The Cult were, are, and will remain musically immense for the rest of their lives. Many thanks to them.

[@IrvoDominguez]

I hear this jewel for the first time in the soundtrack of "Real Cool World" film (1992). Such a great tune, hipnotic & sexy.

[@thanoscult]

Cult at its best! Thank you Arkive for supporting Cult Forever Forever Cult!

[@BeggarsArchive]

you are very welcome!

[@chrisbyars4422]

How the Hell did I miss this!? What rock have I been living under !? Love it!

[@michaeldamato9466]

It wasn't a rock, it was all the other crap that's going on.

[@ThatKa5p3r]

@@michaeldamato9466 Actually it was mostly because it was released on the soundtrack to a pretty crappy half-animated movie called Cool World in 1992. Oddly enough that soundtrack was pretty killer, but luckily The Cult included it (the full 6:55 version) on their 'Pure Cult: The Singles 1984-1995' in 2000.

[@tonyorsini5255]

Don't feel bad. I literally just found this last week while looking for the Cool World movie soundtrack. I'm just glad we got to find it while we had a chance. This stuff is amazing!

[@tonyorsini5255]

@@ThatKa5p3r Cool World was pretty good, just a different perspective.

[@paulcerminara3107]

The Cult are the best hidden secret and Cŭlţ. Ian has a soko album and look up Holy Barbarians 🔥

[@gtrman69777]

I am surprised that so many people here have never heard this song. This is easily my favorite Cult song. Unfortunately this is the short version. You guys need to here the full version with the bad ass jam section at the end.

[@eMMjunaYschion]

The Cult is one of my, if not THE, favourite band(s). I have never heard this song. 🥲

[@sergiojara6077]

The full session is a orgasm for the ears!!!

[@TheCFFC]

The other version is a b-side

[@DickieH72]

It’s on the 12” version of ‘Star’. Got mine on eBay

[@brianreed39]

I did so much X listening to this CD back then.......... and it's my favorite by them.

I remember seeing these guys at The Buffalo Chip during Sturgis. Absolutely fantastic show

[@mustang4life]

What a phenomenal Soundtrack this riff turn up on, as most have not even seen this flick. Hell, even ole Brad Pitt himself could only do so much on the other side of the camera. Thank God the Soundtrack did not require Brad's assistance! 🍻🇺🇸🤘🏼🇺🇸🍻 Thanks for sharing a true classic riff from The Cult! 🙏🏻

[@neekerbreeker]

Wow, thanks for posting this! I mostly know their more mainstream hits so this was totally new to me. You have a great channel! 💯

[@BeggarsArchive]

Welcome!

[@mickdestiny6542]

This was on the Cool World movie soundtrack. They've chopped the wicked multi guitar solo outro that goes for almost three minutes. On the fade out the drums kick in at a slower tempo and that sleazy fuzz bass kicks in. Billy proceeds to go to psychedelic town. I use to crank this constantly in my car..

[@DarrenK-dt7sx]

They performed The Witch when I saw them at the Centennial Concert Hall (Winnipeg) in 2008. Frigging great song! Hell, the whole set was epic! The crowd got right into the show, and Ian had all of us singing along to Sweet Soul Sister. I fondly remember being partially deaf for 3 days afterward.

[@blairjohnson9311]

Great singer. Excellent Evertonian.

[@mickdestiny6542]

The original version with Billy jamming over fuzz bass for about three minutes is killer! Cool World in the bargain bin, back in the 90s brought me to this unexpected psychedelic ripper. Unfortunately, they never followed this with an album in this style but that would have been a tough one to pull off..

[@mysticwolf75]

I know. I would have loved to hear a whole album in this style, although there were 1 or 2 songs from their self titled album that came sort of close.

[@AaronJoseph-t4b]

Saw The Cult 3x thru lineup changes,the return of Jamie(on Bass) & that FUNKY Drummer were the most,THEN, saw Ian front DoorsY2K & he reached the Stratosphere in the simplest terms ❤❤❤😮😊

[@vanessaazevedo3238]

I love this song! I'm surprised so many people didn't know It, but it's always time to get to know a great song.

One important Sephardic rabbi back in West L.A warned some members of the congregation that I was a "warlock," a terrifying prospect for living in an Orthodox Community. He had heard about certain talents (shall we say) of mine...He also saw me in ac tion. By the way, I love this song...

[@mondaye03]

It came out in the early 90s.

[@B1keN3rd]

@@mondaye03 for real!? Which record?

[@mondaye03]

@@B1keN3rd I think it was a single. It was also on the Cool World soundtrack. There's a couple of different versions of it. Two which are slightly different, then Astbury recorded it on his solo album and there an early version called Northern Man. They should all be on KZbin. Definitely check them out

[@DR-uc4bj]

Its old. Its on Pure Cult released in the very early 90s and there is a different variation on Ian,s solo album Spirit Light Speed about 2005. Last time I saw them live was in 93 absolutely brilliant.

Another upload by the Cult to your channel, where I hear the sonics are not quite right. It seems like we are only hearing the left or right speaker, not both. Or something like that. The Cult are my favourite band, I notice the difference straight away..

[@johnharmer4606]

I think I'd prefer to listen to Ian sing (All Glory/Today)...When they appeared on the "The Old Grey Whistle Test" they showcased Love Removal Machine for the new album...The opening guitar by Billy Duffy must've been done under record company pressure "Rick Rubin" or he'd lost his marble's. It was a total rip off of "Start Me Up" by the Rolling Stones." I accept that it was a change in direction, but it was a defining moment for me,....Ian & Billy that had produced such innovative material previously.

Good song.......But why are the vocals so low??? Ian is known for belting out songs. The engineers should relisten to the Sonic Temple album.

[@vladimirvspiozdner2294]

Ну да, ну да - попытка этакого "ристайлинга" сообразно тогдашним веяниям моды; рокэнролл типа стал резко немодным, а всё кругом сделалось "гранжевым" и "альтернативным"... Вычистить бы саунд от электронных пукалок, гитарочку сделать обратно объёмной, ну и астберивский вокал тоже вывести так, чтоб он не звучал, как комариный писк откуда-то из жопы мира... и была бы, возможно, не самая плохая вещица у Калта.

[@Chek.A]

Она и так очень неплохая.

[@bobhebel4116]

Pretty good song! It's a bit of a departure from The Cult's usual style. The deliberately lo-fi vocals and messianic declarations push it more into John Spencer Blues Explosion territory.
