NEW (& ClASSIC) VIDEOCORNER#10(LILLIAN AXE & THE CULT)

[Niels (Mod)]

“Caged In” is the new video from Louisiana rockers LILLIAN AXE. The song comes off the band’s new album, “XI: The Days Before Tomorrow”, which is a good album.

"Rain" is a song by The Cult from their Love album. It was briefly known as "Sad Rain" during its recording, and the lyrics were reportedly inspired by a Hopi rain dance. Ultimately it was the second single released from that album following She Sells Sanctuary. It peaked at #17 on the UK singles chart, and has always been a live favourite, being performed at almost every gig since its release. Despite the song's popularity, after performing it live in November 1989 at Wembley, singer Ian Astbury said, "So you like that one?" and after the audience cheered, Astbury responded by saying, "Personally, I don't."

Niels, I promise I'll get caught up on these.  I've got to watch the last 3 posts.

Love The Cult! That's interesting that Ian doesn't like "Rain". I think it's a great song, but it doesn't carry the same energy & power, as most other Cult songs, so that may help to explain why he has that opinion.

LILLIAN AXE ... 1 average non-distinct danish

Its not bad, but not good either, I think I will forget all about this as soon as I watch the next video.

 

THE CULT ... 3 Danishes

I like it!  Video boring, song is pretty golly-gee whiz-gosh-darn-flippin-good!  Oh wait, Im not n Utah anymore...  This is a  *%$#ing good tune!  How come theres only one video this week?

Lillian Axe (3 Danishes)

This is a bit better than average song-wise.  And the dude says Manimal.  Too cool.  Guitar really cool.  Video is irritating as hell!

The Cult (4 Danishes)

I don't have this album and I'm not familiar with the song, but I like it.  I love the driving beat and the real basic sound of The Cult.  I like the silhouetted dancin' chick in the video.  Either the video quality or the mastering of the audio is atrocious.

Lillian Axe--4 Danii

Video was pretty cheap, but at least they had worms. I love Lillian Axe, I love this album so there's the 4.

The Cult--2 Danii

Not a big fan of this song or this album. Give me "Electric", "Sonic Temple" or "Beyond Good And Evil". Video is typical 80's stuff so I'm giving it two danii because of what they did next, since it didn't look like they had it in 'em when first hearing/watching this.
