Fire woman, yeah
Shake, shake, shake, shake it, yeah
Wound up, can't sleep, can't do anything right, little honey
Oh, since I set my eyes on you

You're driving me crazy
Come on, little honey

Smoke on the horizon, well

Oh, smokestack lightning
Smokestack lightning
Well, shake it up, you're to blame, got me swayin' little honey
My heart's a ball of burnin' flame

I've seen them probably 18+ times in concert and I must say they are also the most polarizing in live performance for me. They have more times than naught been a F'N powerhouse, firing on all cylinders but a few times they have performed like absolute shite, especially when Ian has one of his temper tantrums and takes it out on the fans. I keep going to see them though, so they do have a spell over me and it looks like Ian's matured and I haven't seen a melt down in quite awhile.
Another vote here for Love Removal Machine and Wild Flower 🤘🏼or how about a bit of Spiritwalker?
how about playing songs from Electric - lil' devil, wild flower or love removal machine? currently only 2 songs by the cult are on the rock mix - fire woman and she sells sanctuary.
Bloody brillient

Every time I hear a song from U2’s Joshua Tree, it immediately transports me to my junior year in college. To hear the Cult’s “Firewoman” immediately after “In God’s Country” brought a broad smile to my face. Thanks for that.

There would be no Soundgarden, Stone Temple Pilots or Queens of the Stone Age without The Cult!
This is a song that I always have on a "Rock Out" playlist - a classic.
Great!!
WOW, sitting here working at 08.25 on a Sunday morning and this comes on... probably my favourite Cult song of all time, YES!!!
It's a 10 from me

I saw that tour in Toronto. Half the audience left after The Cult. I watched a few Billy Idol songs, but its a 2 hr drive back to Buffalo so I left as well.
As I have aged my music tastes have changed. However, this song brings me back to Alpine Valley in my 20's when we saw the Cult open for Billy Idol. Still a good song but I have experienced greater as I have continued on my music life journey.

LOVE The Cult!
However they are the most inconsistent band live in concert. Its maddening that they are one of the best and also one the worst bands that I have seen live.
They are the Jekyll and Hyde of bands, you never know which ones going to show up.

One of the all time best of the time (can't believe I wrote a sentence like this, but ya'll get the jist )
Overall, an accomplished and gifted album

This band (this tune) and GnR saved rock music during the grunge years.

By far the best band to CRANK IT THE F*** UP!!!

I just wanna say that earlier Sabbath was playing, and now this!
Makes me wanna shoot pool in the bikers bar outside town.
Should check out the Rock mix haven't done that in a while... Good times
