Nico looks the part, but the chops are pedestrian. Sports bar stuff. I give him 18 months.

18 months to do...what?

They sound good.

I know they're a bit younger than The Cult but, the loss of various original and excellent additional band members aside, the essence of is still going. That's a detail of context that has been whined about as well as admired: The Black Crowes are Chris and Rich Robinson, just as The Cult are Ian Astbury and Billy Duffy.

If I was as much as a crank as some people are about TBC I would've stopped listening to The Cult when LOVE came out in 1985 because they weren't the same band as the 1984 DREAMTIME band was, and I didn't get into The Cult until 1988 (bizarrely I missed out on the ELECTRIC time).

Well, in that vein, the DreamTime band wasn't even the same band as Death Cult, since it wasn't all the original members, and really Southern Death Cult doesn't really count, as that was only Asbury......

Oh really.

Nigel Preston drummed on God's Zoo and The Cult's DREAMTIME.

OK so Nigel was the Death Cult's second drummer but The Cult's original drummer.

No one mentioned Southern Death Cult, you did - with zero relevance regardless.

You want to talk about the original Rolling Stones then? Because it's extremely similar.

You might want to consider other avenues for arguing such petty details - or just accept that other bands/artists have had similar changes (yet alone be grateful they're still going). Even The Cult joked about being like Spinal Tap.

Death Cult was the first real incarnation of The Cult, and I was merely pointing out that, for all intents and purposes, the Dreamtime lineup wasn't the same as the original lineup is all. And I merely mentioned SDC for those on here who may not be familiar with either incarnation, but fancy Ian's voice (like myself), and who might want to explore some other options. That's all.

No pettiness here. Geeeez

Aside from Ronnie Woods command performance on Stay With Me, the band and their new album lands with a thud. It's a shame, was hoping for much better.

The Black Crowes have turned into a frigging lame session musicians band, with Chris acting a weird feminine version of himself. And why on earth do you put the drummer 20 feet high on a riser -it really means you don't give a fvck about the music anymore.
