    This type of artist no longer exists, An artist, a creator, not a fame and money chaser. There's many reasons why I love our generation. Love his artistry.

    Ian, so funny, real, intelligent, the voice I haven't tired of decade after decade! My dream is to be in the woods camping, local musicians bring acoustic guitars, bongos, and Ian singing.

    I've never seen an interview with Ian. I appreciate him and the evolution of the Cult over the years. Loved Hidden City and looking forward to hearing the new album. Was fortunate enough to see them in Spokane WA in the 1980s, on a ticket with Metallica.

    Ian Astbury's vocals on "Fire Woman" in my opinion, is in the top ten best ever hard rock songs. His vocal style is a one off unique only to him.
    He's deserving of acclaim as well as Duffy.
    The Cult is a powerful force.

      ​@@ryangettig274 Well, hold on, lol. Izzy had a hand in co-writing a ton of the material..but as a very capable co-writer (and a fine rhythm git player). Appetite credits the band and the Illusions records show Stradlin with a ton of credits as a co-writer. I do recall the brief quote from Izzy a few years back saying the touring $$ split wasn't fair may be true and it sucks if it's true. I could also say that Steven Adler's departure in the spring of '90 was the first death knell because as solid as Sorum was, Adler's playing was better suited to the band, in my opinion.

    Ian talking shit about Billy throughout....kind of a weak move on Ians part. He usually has more class than that. Ive met both Ian and Billy on a handful of occasions and for as much as Ian claims to be there for his "benefactors "....Billy was hands down the nicer, more approachable and more laid back of the two. Ian acted as if he was hanging with the fans out of obligation whereas Billy just hung out and shot the shit with us and talked for a long time. Not sure what kind of tension is happening between them, but keeping personal issues private seems to be a much more mature way to handle things.
    I genuinely hope Ian was just in a mood the day of this interview...I would hate to see this brilliant band fall apart
