This video has everything: weird hats, good music, and no apparent point. All of which earn it 4 guitars in our book. I getting my haircut once and the stylist said that she was convinced Ian Astbury of the Cult was actually Jim Morrison of the Doors reincarnated.  I gave her an extra large tip so she could visit a therapist. Ironically, years later Astbury toured with the remaining members of the Doors.

One of the funniest things about the Cult in this video is if you turn off the sound and look at each member individually, you would think they were all playing a completely different genre of music. This might have been the first clue that the next three Cult albums would sound very different from each other.

WATN? The Cult are recording and plan a new release for Summer 2009.

Trivia: Ian Astbury’s “Gathering of Tribes” was the inspiration for Lollapalooza a year later. One former bass player went by the name Haggis.
