Off topic but what Ian has to say applies to all artists, such as the Stones, still making great music.

I loved them until I saw them on their Ceremony Tour. Ian's voice was shot and Billy was just going through the motions. No energy. I was 2nd row center and many people around me were sitting. How often do you see people that close to the stage sitting at a rock concert?
Wish I had seen them on either their Electric or Sonic Temple tours. Maybe they were better then.

Billy Duffy is an amazing guitarist.
Loved Ian's early studio work, but find him awful live.

A very good album but Choice of Weapon and the digital only companion Weapon of Choice (Demos) is the best since they got back together around 2000.

They were a little better when they opened for Metallica on the "Justice" tour

I saw them on the Sonic Temple tour at the old Boston Garden in early '90. They were good, but not great - but then, I always thought Sonic Temple was just good whereas Love and Electric were truly great. Honestly, the highlight of the show was during the opening number ("New York City") when two fringed-jacket wearing hairsprayed out metal chicks got into a brawl right in front of me. Watching the Garden security guys - old dudes in maroon blazers - try to separate them was comedy at its finest.
Brad and Tom from Aerosmith came out and did "Born To Be Wild" with them but the best song of the show was still "Peace Dog".

Mediocre head-banging bullshit - at best. A dumbed-down Doors/Zeppelin hybrid - at worst. Do not like.

Different strokes for different folks. Astbury is a Jim Morrison wannabe. Hence the band's teenage appeal. Does anyone 20+ actually still think Morrison was an American poet? And I dig LA Woman as much as the next guy.
There is a reason the Cult haven't been relevant since the Reagan administration.
