5.0 out of 5 stars Ian & Billy...Nobody Does It Better!, December 18, 2002

By

This review is from: The Cult - Live Cult (Music Without Fear) (DVD)

Throw in ex-Guns 'N' Roses drummer Matt Sorum and you have the best "hard-metal" dvd available (outdoing my former favorite, Judas Priest's "Live In London". While not the most animated band, no other rock band comes close to the pure "Marshall Stack" power presented here. The sound quality is great and the camera work is steady and "spartan", without alot of quick all over the stage camera shots that plague alot of other live videos. We get great camera work during the guitar solos which put me in "Nirvana". Great track selection mixing songs from the recent "Beyond Good & Evil" album with classics such as "Rain" and "Lil' Devil". Billy Duffy flat out jams; and, although Ian misses a few high notes here and there, his vocals are flat out killer. If you are a Cult fan, you already own this dvd and most likely are not even reading this review. For anyone with even a remote interest in the Cult's music.... pick this one up and treat yourself to a "headbanging", "air-guitar" good time. Do not buy this if you can't play it loud!

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding!, August 19, 2003

This review is from: The Cult - Live Cult (Music Without Fear) (DVD)

Having seen the Cult 10 times over the last 16 years, I can tell you that their brand of music is difficult to replicate night after night in a live concert. Ian's voice does not hold up well if the band plays 3 or 4 nights in a row. This show sounds as if they were on vacation for about a week before it was recorded and they're literally at the top of their game.

I've seen Ian "mail it in" in live concerts before, and either wuss out and not sing a difficult part, or do it haphazardly, dissapointing the loyal fan base who comes to hear his leather lunged howl. Maybe he knew he was being recorded for the DVD, but the effort to do a good job was there.

I am pleased to report, he doesn't mail it in too often in this particualr show! "Rain" is excellent, he even does the "Yeah, Yeaayyyyah yeah" at the end of "She Sells Sanctuary." The crowd is a bit subdued, but let's face it, the Cult's fan base are 30 and 40 somethings now, not exactly the kind of crowd that 'moshes.'

The mix of old and new is quite good and the majority of their classics are present. It is a little disappointing that "Nirvana" was not on the DVD, but then again, I am never satisfied.

5.0 out of 5 stars C'mon, this DVD just rocked!, February 23, 2006

This review is from: The Cult - Live Cult (Music Without Fear) (DVD)

I've been a huge fan of the cult ever since I picked up Electric and had it as one of my few tapes on some boring family vacation back on march break in the mid eighties.

While I'll agree that Ian mails in some songs throught the concert, and wimps out on some tough notes, he certainly delivers some power vocals for his newer stuff. Rain was quite stellar too, but how could he wimp out on Love removal machine like that?? grrrr:)

Although I'd rather he put a better effort singing some of my classic favs, I can understand why he'd want to change them up after playing them so many damn times. I really liked Peace Dog, despite its differences. He is a bit older but can still put together a great albumn in the studio and belt out the notes when he wants to.

His voice isn't shot!

The intro to this concert is just incredible (Rise), it gives me chills every time I play it. The sound quality is outstanding, and Billy Duffy has never sounded better. Too bad Matt is in Velvet Revolver, I'd like to hear Ian and Billy record another albumn with him.

This concert is a must own for anyone claiming to be rock fans, and anyone even remotely a fan of the greatest rock band of all time, The Cult!:)
