THIS IS ABOUT WHAT?! | The Cult - She Sells Sanctuary REACTION

[@kellifranklin9872]

You really can’t go wrong with The Cult. Every song is a banger. They are a completely underrated rock band. Just pure rock straight up! I’ve seen them twice in 2 different decades and they were fantastic both times. My personal favorite is “Rain.” Hope y’all go deep down this rabbit hole!

[@Lilione111]

He sounded just as good live! Saw them in the late 80s. Love his voice.

[@imamilehigh]

One of the most iconic guitar riffs to start 🤌🤌👏👏

[@SirKidYubYub]

And to imagine, Billy Duffy was messing around with a violin bow and mashing all the pedals to amuse Ian. He stopped doing that and started the riff with all the pedals on and the producer loved it. And that’s how that intro came to life. Music history! One of my all-time favorite songs.

[@mikewatts867]

I have never thought of Ian having Prince vibes but now I can’t not see that. Very cool and unique take. Love your reactions

[@svtcontour]

This was actually a song played a lot in dance clubs. Everyone used to get on the dance floor

[@paulkearney5540]

awesome song when i listen to this so does the rest of my street 🎼🔥✌

[@cosmocassidy420]

Still one of my favorite songs to dance to at the club.

[@rifki9055]

"Ian astbury" is 1 most underrated vocalists! 🔥🔥🔥 check his performance with The DOORS!👍

[@michaelakkerman407]

Saw him with the Doors live on a Pier in SEATTLE. They did Riders on the Storm as the sun set. It was a religious experience...

[@JoeyAces]

Ian and Mike Patton 2 most underrated vocalists

[@flor9389]

This is a song for cranking on the highway at high speed. At least in my car.

[@bobbytubbs5469]

Before prince there was a guy named jim morrison

[@randywissler9923]

The tone Billy gets with that white Gretsch Falcon is so epic!!!!

[@brand8590]

This is the only woman I've ever seen look emotionless to this song. they normally move, a lot.

[@andrewstolpman6743]

Ian is one of the greatest frontmen and Billy is beyond amazing. It is criminal how overlooked and underrated the music industry has always been to them. If they came out today they would be recognized for their pure talent and would conquer the airwaves!

[@joannetyndall3625]

I had their album "Love" on cassette...played it til it snapped and replaced it...played it til it snapped again then got it on cd xx

[@dragonflyparade8143]

He was a big role model for Axl Rose of Guns'N'Roses.

[@stevelarson3391]

Facts.

[@R.POWELL]

It sounds even BETTER LOUDER !!! 👍 HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY, girl !!!

[@louielouie22]

I can understand the prince vibes. It's his showmanship

[@davidbessey6518]

Check out "Rain" and "Love Removal Machine" They also have great older stuff when they were called the Southern Death Cult.

[@michaeloesterle6652]

Fire Woman by this band is great.

[@cindyshawver9986]

i agree......that's my favorite !!

[@saigawesnovember]

I never connected him with Prince,but now I see it, been a fan of this band since 1984.

[@shaunnoonan1734]

Lil Devil, Wild Flower, anything off of their Electric album is phenominal!!!

[@jonlight670]

Played this every day when it came out!

[@andyzehr9839]

Always makes me think of playing GTA Vice City

[@R.POWELL]

GOOD ONE !!! 🎵👍 CAN'T GO WRONG WITH THIS BAND!!

[@jamieperdue8663]

That was the the way it was mixed. Kinda that post-punk style mix early/mid 80s. They would get Rick Ruben to mix the next album (Electric) and that album has a more hard rock mix and style, way drier, kinda ac/dc-ish. Check out Love removal machine off of it.

[@garyeason8474]

They are awesome bro.you would like there song "Fire Woman" As usual 🔥 Reaction you guys.

[@mickem4322]

This song always brought me and my friends up on the dance floor at Clubs.. This one you need to play at high volume when being in party mood... to really get the Vibe of it !!! .. It is an awesome song for such moments!!!! :D

[@paulietehrani9164]

I love ian and billy

[@itchyandred4131]

Happy mother's day 🌻

[@lavenderllamamusic]

GTA Vice City! V-ROCK with Lazlow

[@MrRammathorn]

I saw them in Lubbock Texas in 1991 with a buddy while stationed at Reese AFB and let me tell you it was amazing, by the end of the night my buddy Travis lost me then showed up after the show with no shirt, no shoes, lost his wallet and had two beautiful ladies one on each arm when he found me, it was a week night and I will never forget it. Ian was on point, almost as good as a Rammstein show. Almost.

[@AnthonyLaMastra]

I’ve seen The Cult live a few times and they usually do “She Sells Sanctuary” live. You definitely should see a live version, they always put on a great show!

[@neilhalley8897]

Just pure quality.

[@BrankoRaskov]

wow i didnt listen this wery long time tnx great song :)))))

[@sliceofheaven3026]

My interpretation of this song is that the singer is saying that the woman in his life eases his troubled mind...aka selling sanctuary.

[@dmac8949]

The first rock and roll concert my son ever went to....Not very many people can say the first r'n'r show I ever went to....My mom took me to see The Cult...And he and I have been going to see many, many other bands together since...Definitely have to do Rain.

[@jenniferfoster1692]

It's GREAT loud!!! Yes, they always bring the energy!!

[@stevewalsh4850]

The louder the better, always 😎

[@natasamladenovic1765]

It is the sleeve ruffles! 😆 ...Prince

[@donnazasgoat2274]

I don't know any Cult music except this one but I like it a lot.

[@anthonyv1719]

Freaky deaky song by them called THE WITCH is a classic, as is LOVE REMOVAL MACHINE, as is RAIN - they had different periods - new wave, rock, heavy rock, alternative - now more in the metal category. Some very, very, iconic songs.

[@alisonb9963]

British boys (and one Canadian,) make the best rock music and they held true to this! Still do

[@alisonb9963]

Billys guitar work is ethereal a d haunting. He has such a unique sound a d is such a sweet person. I don’t know him obviously, but he radiates a kind soul. I follow his wife/gf on IG as I like her politics. she seems to be a nice person as well.

[@anngallifrey]

Album SONIC TEMPLE has stayed in my Top Ten since the first time I heard The Cult. "EDIE"

[@Michelle-gf9bu]

So pumped to see these guys this summer ❤️

[@richnorcal]

Lots of energy, great dance tune...really holds up well when you see when it was first released..The Cult, great band...very much suggest "Fire Woman" if you haven't already

[@brentjewell9641]

Firewoman 100% the next song from the cult

[@methos3135]

Love The Cult. Seen them a few times live over the years and they always put on a good show. The native imagery and music is a heavy influence on singer Ian Astbury who spent his teens in Canada before returning to the UK. Check out Fire Woman, Edie (Ciao Baby), Heart of Soul.

[@starlightanddreams1317]

Aww yes. I was in love with Ian the lead singer before you both were born. Love the Cult. Edie (chaio baby) is a great one by the cult.

[@cowboymouth6429]

Guys try FIRE WOMAN 🔥🔥🔥

[@alistairmcdougall8390]

As a teenager back in the 80s when I played this record my mother would bang on the ceiling downstairs with a broomstick handle to tell me to turn it down because it would make the walls vibrate🤣

[@kristieMiller3774]

I get your prince vibe with this song. But every song is different with this bad. All phenomenal too. So underrated

[@ace2k707]

Played this in a band about 10 years ago. Fun fun song 🎶🎶

[@chowyunfatbr]

This is one of the songs that was forever ingrained on my mind because of GTA Vice City. It is impossible to underestimate the influence that this game had on a lot of people's music taste.

[@neilgayleard3842]

It was used in England by sky sports in their premier league football coverage.

[@robs715]

This reminds me of an old PlayStation game that I loved as a kid. Dave mirror, freestyle bmx 2! Awesome game

[@johneldridge8678]

Great reaction!!! "Love Removal Machine" is incredible, and so is "Fire Woman." Check those out!!!

[@andrewsheldon7087]

Real music is eternal.

[@judester9482]

I blast this song on the freeway 😂

[@Clowebvvv]

Saw them live n they were awesome

[@michaeldaugette802]

The Cult - fire woman is an awesome song

[@darrenp5053]

The song Fire Woman by the Cult is a must

[@fernandonavarrette4522]

The Cult is fire!! Gotta check out more, you'll love em'.. American Horse is one of my favorites.

[@bamzilla.]

This song sounds amazing when it's loud as fuck.

[@tiawarren5403]

"Love Removal Machine" by The Cult.... gotta do it!

[@stevenaustin657]

Check out Tower of Strength by The Mission and Dominion by The Sisters Of Mercy, fantastic songs.

[@raydotzler9117]

Sun King 🔥🔥🔥

[@afrimaadzijaj]

....same group...Revolution ...good times

[@Coolrockndad]

"Love Removal Machine" is their best IMO.

[@CursiMusic]

[@samuelrossmesa1430]

Ian Astbury, awesome vox and frontman -- pls also react soon, highly recommended, to their "Fire Woman" and "Wild Flower".

[@David-ns4ym]

Only riffs more iconic then the cults are ac/dc’s

[@gc5054]

Great reaction. The Cult are amazing. Check out Love Removal Machine. 🍻🤘

[@alcap-z5d]

[@johnc790]

Lots of Cult to listen too some great tunes

[@Buggy.MealwormsTV]

yes,.....that's what it means.

[@bruno4343]

Listen to this song: Carminho - Uma Vida Noutra Vida The most traditional portuguese's music genre, called Fado. :) The portuguese guirar (guitarra portuguesa) is amazing! Huge hug from Portugal

[@MAustinN]

If you ever played Dave Mirra's Freestyle BMX you've heard this lol.

[@charlierussell6577]

Studio version, versus live, would likely be loud enough for you.'

[@bobbytubbs5469]

Seen em 4 times everytime they kicked ass

[@orbytl2799]

the cult are awesome gotta do rain, grand theft auto vibes

[@stevedaniels623]

🔥

[@cameronlong2242]

Time you guys did a music quiz. See how much you remember

[@wrldchamps04]

Try to drive speed limit with this thumping your stereo lol

[@echopryme]

Ian Astbury is a fucking GOD!!! 💯😎

[@sumonjamal1653]

The Cult (not to be confused w/ 70's rockers Blue Oyster Cult) was formed in the early 80's by American vocalist Ian Astbury & British guitarist Billy Duffy (w/ various backing musicians)... their raw brand of hard rock was instantly great and got huge respect, despite later commercial success. 'She sells sanctuary' was from their 2nd album 'Love' in 1985... their big hit album 'Electric' came in 1987 and went platinum (1 million copies) in the US and so did 'Sonic temple' album in 1989. However, conflicts between Astbury & Duffy was getting volatile by the early 90's... The Cult released 2 more albums - 'Ceremony' (1991) and 'The Cult' (1994, self-titled) before splitting up in 1995. In 1999, Astbury and Duffy attempted to reunite The Cult for a tour and a new album arrived in 2001 - 'Beyond good & evil' ... However, the band split up again in 2002 due to internal conflicts. Ultimately, The Cult returned in 2007 w/ a new members backing Astbury & Duffy... the album 'Born into this' in '07 was followed by successful touring and more records - 'Weapon of choice' (2012) and 'Hidden city' (2016)... The Cult still sell out tours and are working on a new album. Other classics by The Cult - "Fire woman'... "Lil' devil" ... 'Love removal machine'... 'Edie (caio baby)' ... 'Ceremony' ... 'Rise' ... 'Sweet soul sister'... 🔥🔥🤘🤘

[@mpmlopes]

Ian is British, from Cheshire.

[@raysurx2010]

y'all need to crank it up. Rock and roll and especially this song needs to shake the walls bro! Rock is meant to be played loud especially this song! .....I think you lose a lot if you listen to this song in low volume. You lose the energy of the song if you don't turn it up! This is the type of song you crank up and have the whole neighborhood listen too!

[@joshlittrell8946]

Captain Jack Sparrow can sing good! ;-)

[@peo4989]

"THIS IS ABOUT WHAT" Dont even go there buddy thats like suicide he's gay and he sing about sacntuary thats all u need to know that this song is awesome...so awesome. And i rocked to this back in the early 90's in old sweden lol

[@darrenbuckley2082]

Crank it up loud bud

[@ugadawgs1990]

As for the meaning of the song, here’s what Ian Astbury said: “What's the song about? Sex. Plain and simple, it's about sex. I've had sex and I'm very proud of that fact."

[@therealmciver3761]

If u do The Cult u must do.... Wild Flower Fire Woman Sweet Soul Sister

[@jenniferfoster1692]

Fire Woman by the Cult!! It's more hard rock than this one. This one is earlier and they were more alternative. All of their eras are great

[@walterlykes9105]

Home skillet said, "yo wa im sayn" 22 times. You know what I'm saying?

[@IRONIVAN89]

Remember this from gta vice city

[@molliematthews235]

He first nation.

[@superarrowcollarman]

Too bad. This track needs to be LOUD. Back in the day I put the headphones on my girlfriend and blasted this one, and she loved it!
