The Cult – Rain
By Caleb • Sep 30th, 2009 • Category: Webcut of the WeekCast your mind back almost 25 years if you’re able, to a time where men with long hair, thin black stovepipes, WWII caps, and frilly shirts weren’t laughed at but instead could be lead singers. Add the two Siouxsie Sioux copies gesticulating wildly in the background and you have all the markings of a classic ’80s goth-rock video. So what if the song was pretty much a direct rip off of their previous hit “She Sells Sanctuary”? Billy Duffy’s chugging riffs coupled with a nice bass groove from Jamie Stewart unpinned Ian Astbury’s Lord Byron meets Jim Morrison peacocking for one of The Cult’s strongest songs (featured on the Omnibus edition of Love).
