what a crazy fkn year......took me back in time you did....right on!

Saw Jane's on their "Nothing's Shocking Tour" opening for Iggy Pop. That was something.

Saw The Cult open for Metallica on that tour. Had no real idea who Metallica was at the time. they played something like three hours. All those kids in black tee-shirts waving their hands the entire time. And I went just to see Ian Astbury and The Cult. It wasn't until years later that I realized I had seen Metallica on the Black Album tour, which in hindsight is pretty cool to be able to say. Bob Rock produced the album, and had also produced The Cult as well, so I guess that helped get them on that tour.

Still, for The Cult, I favored The Manor Sessions versions of the "Electric" mixes, as I like a touch more melodicism in my harder music.

Here's The Cult with the Manor Session mix of "Wildflower" which was later to be remixed and appear on "electric".

I used to cover this song and could hit all Ian's high notes in full voice. Those were the days...

getting ready to queue it up....embedded was a no-go....kudos to the cult

edit: quite a different tempo....and if you can hit that shite....then you can HIT IT!

Love was easily my fave....was cool being tapped into the groove of brother wolf....was a blast and a trip
