Always was a big Cult fan.
Matter of fact the drummer from the Cult who played on the "Electric" album (Les Warner) played drums for me for 2 months in my band here in Vegas last winter when our drummer had to leave town for family business.
It was very cool playing with him!
Having said that...I was excited a few years back to take Claudia Marie with me to see The Cult in concert at The Pearl Theater here in Vegas.
She didn't know much about them (she was only 14 years old when they released "Sonic Temple") and I hyped up what a tremendous frontman that Ian Astbury was.
Instead...he was super lame. He could barely hit any of the notes in the songs. And he just stood there with sunglasses on the entire concert half-heartedly croaking the vocals.
Huge disappointment.
Billy Duffy however was just as good a guitarist as I knew he would be.
Always loved his tone and licks on the harder rock songs that the Cult did (Love Removal Machine, Wildflower, and the entire Sonic Temple album)
