Duffy’s simplicity really makes him shine. Brilliant player

Simplicity certainly as far as the notes taken across the neck, not doing wild arpeggiated runs like other guitarists from the era, BUT his bends and flow make his stuff really unique. It veers into the surreal almost reminiscent of stuff you'll hear in eastern music. Totally brilliant indeed!

@@sgt.thundercok4704 Me too! I just discovered the C add 9 chord in "Sweet Soul Sister". It's that third chord in the verse that sounds AMAZING. It goes A maj - D maj - Cadd9. He leaves his finger on the D on the B string (from the D chord), [which is the 9 (or 2)] when he changes to the C maj. Sounds amazing. It sounds more impressive on the recording because of the quality, but the chord occurs in this video at 3:49 & 3:59 I've never heard an add 9 chord in a rock song before (well, I probably have in a Queensryche or Rush song, but it's not common).

Billy Duffy is one of the greatest guitar player of all time!!! Grow up with their fantastic sound!!! God bless The Cult!!!

I have been a heavy metal rock fan for 50 years and love Iron Maiden, Led Zep, AC/DC and others but NOBODY plays the guitar as good as Billy. His skill and talent is phenomenal and he just hits the bulls eye on every track in this fantastic concert. ROCK ON Billy lad you are a genius.

A pure RnR band ! Hats off to The Cult. I was fan in the '80s ............ still now !!

Ian's voice is alot better than a few years ago when we saw them. They were just getting going again. Sound great now!

I saw them at the same time, for the 1st time, in San Francisco, the 30th anniversary tour of the Sonic Temple album release. My brother was so jealous. It's his favorite band.

Billy is a sensational guitarist! Doesn't skip a beat and never looks hurried.

One of my favorite Hardrock Bands of all times! ... Impeccable Rock 'n Roll Greatness!

THE CULT amongs the best of the best.

In Canada we had the privilege of hearing The Cult on the radio because of our friendliness with the Commonwealth. They were in-between the metal and the hair metal in the late 80's. Iain Astbury's vocals are out of this world!!!

THE CULT toured AUSTRALIA in 2013. They played the entire ELECTRIC album. They played it in the track listing of the album. Then they played other 'Hit" songs. Just about everybody knew that the last song was going to be SUN KING. The atmosphere was palpable. You could say it was ELECTRIC.

Yeah. Love watching Duffy. From the gitaringly humble beginnings of ‘ Dream time ‘ through the simple tho’ tasteful ‘ Love ‘, the challenge of ‘Electric ‘ to the perfect synthesis of ‘Sonic Temple ‘. A. Mighty Guitar God was born from the thigh of a wolf, full strumming ! Thanks for the music.

The Cult is an awsome band. Great guitarist, wonderful catchy riffs and that voice of Ansbury is still as sharp as a knive. One of these voices you instantly recognize.

Best lineup of The Cult. Billy is a true rock guitar god! 🎸😎👍

I been around the Rock scene for many years! Almost its entire history & when We saw the CULT the first time we were Blown Away! Glad they settled their differences & get on with it. As a guitarist I always admired Billy! Great Player!.

The Cult me hizo olvidar el Covid, Thanks The Cult Lima Peru

There’s hundreds of bands I love and like and respect, etc. There are a handful of bands I put myself in the true-fan bucket and The Cult is one. Thanks to the taper

stood the test of time these boys I'm 52 sure I started listening to them before I was 20 still sound great

This band is aging real well. I was a freshman in college when Electric came out, it was a big part of our soundtrack. Great to see them still killing it.

This is by far there best live performance I've seen online. Phenomenal !!

The older they get the better they sound.Last saw them back in 85 on the Electric Tour in Manchester UK. Ian's voice is amazing, Billy makes it look incredibly easy, such a great guitarist.

The cult is one of the best bands out there and this video contests to that. Rock on billy

"She sells sanctuary"... i was ~17 when this song was released, pretty much brings back all the good memories.. thank you The Cult for that!

I saw these guys with The Divinyls 4/22/86 at The Rainbow in Denver. They put on one hell of a show , so did the Divinyls. R.I.P. Christina....

They finally have enough musicians are comfortable enough on stage. A very special time in the Cult's existence.

I first heard the cult back in 85 when I was 12yrs old on MTV when they played a live concert in New York at the Ritz. I was a fan from then on. I still am.

Fantastic live version of Lucifer...and not only this! Great rock band!

It's nice to see a lot of positive comments about the Cult, especially Billy Duffy on guitar. I'm a life-long drummer myself, but as a musician, I fully respect the playing of ability of Billy Duffy. I saw the Cult in a small theater in Richmond, VA. Billy Duffy walked out with the rest of the band, low-key, no flamboyance, and even with his subdued persona on stage, he STILL stole the show with his playing, which blew the crowd away. His playing was so great, I felt he unintentionally stole the show with his playing. He seems like a good bloke, from his KZread interviews. When he pulled out his white Gretch axe, I know it was going to be a good night. :) I'm pretty sure he and Ian Atsbury are the only two original members of the band. As for the drummers, I know that Mike Bryzecki cut a few of the studio tracks on their "Love" album, and maybe a few other cuts. Of course, Matt Sorum was with them as well for their Sonic Temple album/tour.
