Question

Who is the lead singer for the rock band The Cult?

Answer 1

The Cult is still with us. In 1999 the band toured, the set offering a couple of new songs. They are currently touring with Jimmy Page and the Black Crowes. In the last few weeks, lead singer Ian Astbury has released his first solo album (the fine Spirit / Speed / Light which sounds closer to his band the Holy Barbarians than to the Cult) and recently the band signed a deal with Atlantic Records. Nissan is currently hawking a car with the intro to She Sells Sanctuary in the background, one of those commercials that makes you scramble for the remote to test your little TV speaker (and further evidence that those of us who know the song are possibly old enough to afford a brand new Nissan). And finally, Beggars Banquet has released remastered versions of the band's most popular CDs: Love, Electric, and Sonic Temple and there is another following the UK and European Pure Cult from 1995 and the US release High Octane greatest hits CD of the band.

G'day Miki D,

Ian Astbury is the lead singer of The Cult. In 1981, singer Ian Astbury joined a local, singer-less band, and renamed the outfit "Southern Death Cult", after an obscure Indian tribe around the Mississippi delta area in the 14th and 15th centuries. The Southern Death Cult's first ever performance was at the Queen's Hall in Bradford, England, on 29 October 1981. This quartet toured and recorded for about 16 months, releasing one single ("Moya") before breaking up in early 1983. Shortly thereafter, Astbury teamed up with guitarist Billy Duffy to form Death Cult, a name the two men have since said they decided on because they could not think of any other name for the band. Duffy had previously been in The Nosebleeds and then Theatre of Hate, a band that Southern Death Cult had toured with in October 1982.

They are still active but are best known for these records made in the eighties early 1990s.

# Death Cult EP (as "Death Cult" – 1983 recordings; reissued on CD in 1988, and remastered and reissued again with bonus tracks in 1996)
# Dreamtime (September 1984)
# Dreamtime Live at the Lyceum (September 1984) (live album)
# Love (October 1985)
# Electric (April 1987)
# Sonic Temple (April 1989)
# Ceremony (September 1991)
# Pure Cult (Greatest Hits) (February 1993) (greatest hits compilation)
# Live Cult (February 1993) (double live album)

The band has had a couple of hiatuses. In 1994, Astbury walked out after musical differences with Duffy. The band reunited in 1999 but split up again after Astbury's solo work failed to achieve much success.

Having long been influenced by Jim Morrison, in 2002 Ian Astbury filled his hero's footsteps by becoming lead singer in an updated version of The Doors, with original members Robby Krieger and Ray Manzarek, known as The Doors of the 21st Century, renamed in 2005 to become Riders On The Storm. In 2003, Astbury also performed with surviving members of the MC5 at the 100 Club in London, before finally reforming The Cult with Billy Duffy again in 2006, for a series of live dates and rumours of reissues and another greatest hits compilation in the works.

Answer 5

His name is Ian Astbury and the guitarist is Billy Duffy.

Here is a short bio on them:
The Cult have evolved through many sounds, from their beginnings as Southern Death Cult, one of the most important Goth bands of the early '80s. As they slowly mixed in rock 'n' roll to their fiendish sound, they progressed from their debut, Dreamtime, under the abbreviated "The Cult" moniker, to mascara'd mystic Goth rock of Love. From there, they shed more of the muslin and gauze for the Glam and psychedelia of Electric and donned leather pants and babbled desert imagery for Sonic Temple's anthemic Hard Rock. Ian Astbury's uniquely high, hard and resonant voice is forever haunting, yet carries the power and force of early album rock heroes like Aerosmith's Steven Tyler and Led Zeppelin's Robert Plant. Guitarist Billy Duffy's riffage pierces like a horror film stinger, echoes with gothic melancholy, and pounds with Classic Rock aggression.
