    The Cult is real rock and roll band with great music and the  interviewer does have good questions but the interviewer could loosen up a little but good job

    BORN INTO THIS is great. Ian can be so weirdly critical of The Cult's work. People whine about them not recording another ELECTRIC - that's as close as they'll get. Some good dirty tunes on it. CHOICE OF WEAPON is awesome - much better than SONIC TEMPLE. It's their most mature album - Life>Death, Embers, Elemental Light, Wilderness Now - incredible ballad-type or moody songs. HFAK, For The Animals, The Wolf and Amnesia - the sound of life being torn.

    Adam reminds me of Ben Stiller . . . and I think he needs a chair with an armrest and some cushions . . great interview :)
  • Oh no, he now has an American accent. His accent was always a mix tho, a cross between Scottish and Midlands, and a touch of Ontario I think. Becos he had to live in Ontario for a period from age 11.
