So @sillyamyy once again put herself in great social media danger and potential stalking charges, but I’m like…Wait…
WTF?
When did Eric play with The Cult??
It has him listed as recording fucking SONIC TEMPLE.
And I’m thinking
How did I not know about this??
But then I noticed that he recorded the demos for the album but not the actual songs released.
I was hoping I’d catch maybe a glimpse of him in the Fire Woman video but it must be the guy who recorded it, or just some session muso used for the video, a la Eric on Olivia Newton John’s video. This dude has a completely different drum set up and not nary a drumstick twirl in sight.
Anyhooo…it’s a great album and this is a great song, Eric or no Eric.
Ian Astbury's spiritual force was energized by the stars last night at The Mountain Winery. The Cult unleashed a sonic wave of Shamanism that elevated the sold-out crowd. This was clearly the best performance I've ever witnessed by the band as a whole. Fresh mountain air coupled with every single person on their feet as soon as the band hit the stage. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
