[kj] RE: CULT

[MARK SAXTON]

The Cult broke my heart the day I heard Electric - they had true originality in the early days - SDC to Dreamtime - love Love, but the follow up floored me - absolutely awful pub rock/sub zeppelin/acdc shite.

Manchester. I too saw them at Brixton, Rob, I was upstairs (too much of a 
lightweight for moshpit, too short to stand at back! :-) ) and had a 
wonderful time - I was on my feet dancing from the first song - feet still 
hurt and ears still ringing now.

Noticed there was a bit of a split in the crowd though - a lot of people 
were really into the "Firewoman" and later stuff, whereas there were types 
like me who were really into "Spiritwalker" and "Phoenix" - suddenly I 
remembered all the goth arm movements even though I haven't done them for 
over 20 years!! Mind you, they only played three songs I didn't recognise - 
and I went off them after "Electric" - so it was old hits all the way. 
Slightly disappointed they didn't play "Go West" or "Nirvana", but not 
complaining really. Ian Astbury still has a great voice and both he and 
Billy Duffy still look fab, they're both very trim and toned. I reckon they 
must work out A LOT - I wish Mr. Coleman would do the same! ;-)
