Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.
THE CULT WILL ANNOUNCE A FEW MORE CANADIAN DATES THIS WEEK! LOOK FOR THE BAND TO PLAY SPAIN AND PORTUGAL IN THE FIRST WEEK OF JUNE. THE BAND WILL JET BACK TO CALIFORNIA TO HEADLINE THE 91X FEST IN SAN DIEGO ON JUNE 10TH. EXPECT THE BAND TO HIT EUROPE FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD THIS SUMMER.
STAY TUNED TO THECULT.US FOR BREAKING NEWS, AS MORE DATES WILL BE ANNOUNCED, INCLUDING A FULL U.K. TOUR EARLY FALL '06.
A Goth band that denies being goth("We were always a rock band at heart"),turns all heavy metal,sacks most of the band on several occasions,lead singer a complete egotistical arse.All sounds a bit familiar to me.
I used to so love The Cult(Southern death cult,Deathcult),then came "Electric" and Duffy's wrestler haircut.Bye.
The photographs of God I bought have almost faded away
The Cult are the Dugs Bawz..............here endeth the lesson.
Being brave is coming home at 2am half drunk, smelling of perfume, climbing into bed, slapping the wife on the arse and saying,"right fatty, you're next!!"
I can take them or leave them

From Goth Anthems to CockRock with a sense of humour (I hope they have retained that as it was pretty much non-existant towards the end)-always liked The Cult-that massive box set thingy they released was bl00dy good

"Dreamtime" and "Love" Hit & miss?f**king classics mate,nothing more nothing less .Everything else after that;cockrock cak.
Live-ace up till the elecric tour,after that cockrock crap with added audience insulting thrown in;"You're American brothers and sisters love the cult more than you ever could"( Mr Astbury,Birmingham Odeon 1987) .Thanks Ian I'd spent 3 years of my life dressed as a red Indian and nearly freezing to death travelling up and down the country on a motorbike to see Cult shows.Good job that nice Mr Elrditch had put out a cracking album the same year,he'll never go all heavy rock and start calling his fans wankers or anything like that.

... and what a relief it must have been to discard those silly feathers, wasn't it?
Put their heads on f*cking pikes in front of the venue for all I care.
the cult are truly an amazing band live, having seen them about 30 times in various cities around toronto i can't wait to see them in toronto on may 26/06 (really wish they had played a small place) at the molson amphitheatre which holds 16,000 people. i can't believe i'm going to see them and the sisters in the same year! the more things change the more they stay the same.
THE LIGHTS ARE DOING SOME STRANGE THINGS TO MY HEAD
I was lucky enough to catch them both in Chicago. Two totally different experiences but both were fantastic. Though I think the Cult has more of a future, mainly because they have new management and might want to do more beyond this tour.

Always loved The Cult. It's relatively simple rock n' roll, but they've done some cool tunes over the years. One of the few bands where I've liked every album, I enjoy their changes in direction, even if they don't - I really liked Ceremony, then at a gig they were basically saying it was crap and not the album they wanted to do at all!
Seen them now and then, last time was, I suppose, 95-ish after that (underrated) album with the ram on the front. You know what you're going to get with The Cult in concert, good value I reckon. If they come to the UK I'll try and get to see them.
