They never bought them all together this was a weekly tv music show they had few bands on every week but everything came out of punk, all these bands DC, SGC, etc were all called Tribal bands due to the music =drums Then about 1981 it started being called Goth Abbo uk decay vocalist was 1st to mention it in an interview then it was known as Goth, but at the time punks, goths, psychobillys etc all went to same gigs etc was great times.

I'd argue that bands today that are similar to and as good as early Cult still exist, you might just need to put in more effort nowadays than in the past because (contradicting your other point) there is a vast amount of eclectic music available now and there's so many channels to seek out new music (good or bad thing).

I think Dreamtime was made to present the band's aesthetic to the general public, because its bases are purely gothic, a characteristic that Cult never abandoned, except in Electric, which was their adherence to hard rock that they flirted with in Love. The only ambition is in Spiritwalker, which has a pop chorus and riffs that infiltrate the subconscious. Try listening to Cult's first four albums, respectively, and you'll see how they slowly and consciously walked to the ultimate perfection, which is Sonic Temple.

Preach. Too true. I’ve brought my son up on this and other ‘proper’ music. Ian and The Cult were incredibly underrated. They were and are ahead of their time. 49 isn’t old!

I'd argue that bands today that are similar to and as good as early Cult still exist, you might just need to put in more effort nowadays than in the past because (contradicting your other point) there is a vast amount of eclectic music available now and there's so many channels to seek out new music (good or bad thing).

I agree, SteamMachine the problem nowadays is you don't have record companies pushing them to allow the best one's to break from the underground to the mainstream so a lot of people now have narrower music tastes. but Musicians have much greater musical freedom now its just sad a lot wont get heard or pushed as would of been the case in the 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's & early 2000's.
I love his make up and his outfit. He can really dance and sing too! One of my favourite songs by the cult.
Also a lot of punks and goths were into this band .. I know.. I was there..

Ian's makeup and dance reminds me of the Ojibwe rituals I attended in northern Minnesota when I was a kid. So cool.

All time favorite band. Live at the Lyceum is mind blowing. Love the new stuff too.

remember seeing this live on tv / friday teatime / dreamtime is an album i still go to when im feeling nostalgic / nigel preston sadly gone / this is better than all the modern crap thats been viewed millions of times / sdc & death cult & early cult - stunning stuff
This is where it all began......thank you Ian Astbury!!!!!

Actually, it began even before this. The Cult formed in 1983 and released music as "Death Cult". Ian had been doing it since 1981 with his former band, The Southern Death Cult.
Ian and Billy what a formidable duo 💯
I was there - in awe.
Looking forward to the Death Cult 8323 tour this November, can’t believe it’s 40 years ago since first seeing them, still love it all.
Can't replace these guys
Just love and the native American look

The Cult!!! Yessss Native sound
FLOWER IN THE DESERT best cult vocals ever ...he never got this good live ...ive never seen them live but ..on you tube he never captivated me like flower in the desert right here .....he reminds me of The Dodger from oliver twist ..cmon cmon cmon
Astbury shines!
The cult forever isto é o que enfim a viver 42 anos ouvindo está banda Ian o único capaz de reproduzir no palco o que Jim Morissette e the Doors representaram amor eterno
This was what made me get into them. I miss Jamie.
remember watching this live on tv..great times.
Astbury is so awesome here
Brings back such happy memories - thank you for posting.
Horse Nation! Alone this is worth the price of admission!
Been one of my favorite songs for a long time And they come And they come See them prancing They come neighing, they come A horse nation See them prancin', they neighing come See them prancin' They come neighing and they neighing come The whole world is coming From the four directions Scream and shout See them prancing They come neighing and they come A horse nation See them prancing, they neighing came See them prancing Proudly they came The whole world is coming From the four directions And I scream and shout The whole world is coming From the four directions Scream and shout

From the 4 tracks on the 1st Death Cult 12" EP I would say Horse Nation is the crappest. I love Ghost Dance, Christians and well Brothers Grimm and Horse Nation on a par, of course HN was a end of set number to rouse the rabble but I preferred GD myself and Christians, am I repeating myself here?

I saw them play Montreal at the original Club Soda for their first record. Maybe 20 people there. They were my favorite band at the time

I love this era of the Cult so much! Sometimes I will listen to Love and Electric, but Dreamtime is my absolute favorite. I generally will go back and listen to Ghost Dance under the "Death Cult" name before listening to anything after Dreamtime.
Ian had so much energy in his younger days and awsome live when he had a good drink lol. He fell over on stage at finsbury park and he was so pissed i thought the gig would end .
Ian add Duffy were god's gift even they didn't know it back then
Interesting, after watching some earlier pre-Billy Duffy vids, I think his guitar style really gave some kind of stability to this band and for Ian Astbury to work over top of ... a more minimalistic yet solid guitar sound and backing

One year later, Billy Duffy discovered a distortion pedal and a bottle of peroxide. Many old fans left, but many new fans were gained.
Hard to believe that these guys turned into an ACDC tribute band.
I think Dreamtime was made to present the band's aesthetic to the general public, because its bases are purely gothic, a characteristic that Cult never abandoned, except in Electric, which was their adherence to hard rock that they flirted with in Love. The only ambition is in Spiritwalker, which has a pop chorus and riffs that infiltrate the subconscious. Try listening to Cult's first four albums, respectively, and you'll see how they slowly and consciously walked to the ultimate perfection, which is Sonic Temple.
