The Cult

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.

I was at that gig,despite Astbury as much as telling us we were all wankers,the stuff off "Electric" was OK but they f**king well murdered all the older material.If my memory serves correctly weren't GBOA supporting and IMO blew the Cult off the stage.
This is the thing I've always found with The Cult,after the "Love" tour,they do the new stuff really well but murder the older stuff.
I've kept away from Cult gigs since 1992 but I'm going to the Brum gig and for £26 a ticket they better play "Spiritwalker" at least,or Messers Astbury and Duffy will be getting the rough end of my tongue,I'll tell you! :evil:

The Scotty's will be arriving in London from Forres on Thursday the 21st, Thursday night will be spent drinking :D .

All day in London (staying in Covent Garden) and the gig on the Friday, traveling home on the Saturday.

Any suggestions on where to go on Thursday night?.

Anyone else going and fancies a pint or five :innocent: ?

Soho ain't what it used to be, too many fashionable boutiques where there used to be plastic curtains ;-) Tis a shame....
To not know and to ask a question is a moment of embarrassment; to not know and not ask is a lifetime of shame.

I was at the Bradford date on that tour, and agree that their biggest crime was giving the old classics the hard rocking mutha treatment. Spiritwalker & even Moya getting the full baby, baby, baby treatment.

Unforgivable. :(

@BP,Your seemingly hate filled posts are a bit "rubbish" too.

Lots aren't, but ones like this are, IMO.

Clearly, what is required here is a wrestling ring. Any 'diffences / personality clashes / etc' can be settled in the Heartland Ring (let's build it in, say, Amsterdam, or Barcelona, somewhere nice). That'd be good.

Of course The Cult are w@nk. But they're funny, rocking, groovy w@nk, whether that was ever their intention or not. I mean, one of them supports city, FFS. :roll: :lol: (Hi Jo). They'll still be good to watch now. Bit like that lot on Wednesday (can you tell I'm still bothered by how 'yikes' they were?)

Anyway, yeah, carry on girls....
There is increasing evidence to suggest that Chris may have been being sarcastic.
