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.

Cripes, I hope we don't bump into him after a few. Might not be able to maintain polite smalltalk, and veer into 'what the fcuk was THAT all about' territory. :urff: :innocent: :twisted:

Chances are I'll be in the DD from 5.30, in the vain hope of the match being on in there, see you all when I see you all folks. :D :notworthy:

It was all a bit pish tonight, what a pile of turd, I remembered tonight why I hadn't bothered to see "Cult" for twenty years. Astbury you are a knob who had forgotten he was playing with "Cult" rather then the 20th Century Doors.

I hope Astbury is a nob in Leeds, it'll increase the pleasure derived from heckles / missiles no end. :lol:
Young Tim has been in touch, asking if he should buy a ticket. I said go for it, if he changes his mind he can always meet up for a bit of Subculture later.... (that's after we have a drink in the Dry Dock);D
Yeh, that's probably cos I asked him... I'd totally forgotten about this gig, having gone off the Cult a bit, the more sad, bloated and apparently dim Astbury gets with every passing year.

Still, if I'm staring at a stage it saves talking to you lot :P . Maybe I should wear those fancy cowboy boots you liked last year at Bloktober, Dave... I will forever know them now as my "Cult boots" :lol:

I had a fookin fantastic time as well ~ easily as good as the '88 and 2001 shows i saw ~ EASILY. The band rocked, loud, lots of energy, great set. Excellent crowd, mosh pit, completely sold out, sweaty & packed.

Took Astbury a couple of tunes to get his voice warmed up, but after that he was on top form & very funny banter in places ~ "did any of you see us play when i was really fat?" ... "this song is from when we were trying to be a really big rock band" ... and my favourite: "see you again in about 6 months" :notworthy:

Brixton setlist (SPOILERS for future shows - so am linking to it):

Yeah second that! Throw yourselves naked on stage and get someone to take a photo shot then post it! :P

Nice reviews people and good to see we really know how to rock to the Cult! :notworthy: :twisted: :notworthy:

*edit* - There is no coverage via mobile phone goddamnit! Have left a message but seriously hope someone is getting naked! :twisted:
Flinge yourselves on stage or in the crowd - whichever one works if a photo is taken! Go people it's rock 'n roll if anything...!

Fantastic gig, place was jumping before they came on stage! Great set, no brother wolf though :cry: , but geat banter and Billy was king of the riffs :notworthy:

We all decided that it was a f**king great night and the double bonus was the bootleg tour shirt for a fiver 8)

Pity some c**t at that Subculture club broke my glasses, a right bunch of dickheads there, reminds me why I don't go out anymore...... :urff:

Edit: Just got your message Debs :lol: :lol: :lol:

Yep, reet night out, so THAT's what a proper gig looks and sounds like, I'd forgot. The pit was insane. Was talking to a fair few revellers there who'd seen The Sisters in May and generally agreed that they were wank. Oops.

Stephen, you weren't scrapping were you? I thought it was gonna kick off once or twice, so it must've been bad for me to notice. :eek: Bloody goths. :urff:

I saw this on The Cult website. It's from a review of the show in Leeds last night.
Edie...
Lots of funny comment to the crowd, some Scottish bloke shouting out Ian took the p*ss he said something about “Electric Soup� check it out on Wiki you’ll get the joke!
Then it happen……..Billy started playing “Temple of Love� acoustic intro ~ a goth chick next to me had an orgasm!!!
Was anyone at the concert, and did they really play part of Temple of Love?

It's just occured to me, there was no sign of Dommie or R&R last night? Where were you people?

Still, was most fine to see Tim & Claire again, how was the curry?, and Mr Hunter, although how on earth I can live with the horror of hugging a bloke in a leeds united top I'll never know. Night terrors ago-go, I should imagine. And of course me mate Sarah, who by all accounts looked after Stephen & Mark in the crowd. She's lovely like that.

Saw them last night in Brum.Despite all my misgivings, the world's worse hangover,The academy being oversold and hotter than hell it was a tremendous gig.
Its always better seeing a band when they've nothing new to promote,I think.They play the hits and the good stuff without all that "Here's a new one" bollocks.
Good set,good sound and even Astbury's ego was smaller than it used to be.Does exactly was it says on the tin.
The photographs of God I bought have almost faded away
