Am I a "Fire Woman"? The Cult hits my ears for the very first time as I break down their awesomeness

2 ай бұрынWhat song reminds you of one of your loved ones? Apparently The Cult's "Fire Woman" came to my hubby's mind, and now I'm ready to go down this rabbit hole. This earworm demands I check out more of The Cult's catalogue. Where do I go next?!

I saw the Cult live in October of 1988 and they were the best sounding live band I ever heard. They really do sound as good live as the studio recordings. That just shows how much they care about their live sound. He danced, a lot, while singing and there was no interruption with his breathing. He was smooth, clean and clear. Truly amazing live band. It's a shame on the music industry that they never got much recognition because they were actually very popular with the public.

This song, amongst all of the 80s metal bands - to me - is the quintessential blues/hair/metal rock that has the growl, the drive, the supreme 4 on the floor straight adrenaline build that just has the great hook you can help but sing and stomp to. It was very common of 80s metal bands to film music videos at arena tour setups, catch it over a few sound checks and youve got a music video. This song, as all the comments before me say, is perfect to blast loud and sing your head off to!

Whan Ian was a kid his dad was in the RAF and was posted to an American airbase in the US. Ian attended a US school and was bullied by some of the students as he was the outsider. The kids from the First Nations community did not bully him and he struck up friendships with them. This gave him an appreciation and interest in their culture which can be seen in the way he styled himself, heard in the music and indeed seen in some of the dance moves!

The singer is Ian Astbury and he's an amazing frontman, but never seems to be in the discussion about the greatest frontmen of all time. In my opinion, he's right up there with the likes of Mick Jagger, Steven Tyler and Axl Rose to name just a few. He's a true entertainer and Billy Duffy absolutely slays the guitar. Also, The Cult are one of the most underrated bands of the '80s and "Sonic Temple" has to be one of the top ten rock albums from the '80s.

@@mckinnonkatz24 You are correct- I have owned every album since late 80s, seen them live, met Ian, and continue to love them. Dreamtime even has Native American images on the cover, and "Spiritwalker," one of my favorite songs of theirs, clearly from Native American philosophy. I even have Southern Death Cult album has a song "Apache" and references to desert flowers. I was convinced they were from the USA southwest for the first few years, I think.

@@jas137 Somebody from the actual US Southwest would've probably not disregarded actual individual Native Americans the way they did with the cover and videos from Ceremony. The Ceremony cover pic was used without the parents' or child's consent, and the burning of the child's image in the band's promotional videos had heavily negative religious connotations to that family. There was a lawsuit. The legal settlement seems to have had an NDA that prevents the band and the child's parents from discussing the outcome. Because of that, nobody knows whether the situation was remedied to the family's satisfaction.

Guns and Roses gets credit for bringing rock music out of the doldrums of the hair metal days but what folks don't realize is that it was actually The Cult. The Cult paved the road for GnR. In fact, when GnR broke big, they were opening for The Cult on tour. When GnR lost their drummer, they reached out and took in The Cult's drummer. The Cult brought the "Rock" back into Rock and Roll.........
