Episodio 179: The Cult Love Removal Machine. Year 1987. English Version
00:00:00 - Classics, Songs, All Time
00:00:30 - Twitter who would have thought that there was a podcast that tells you how the great rock songs of all times were made this is real all the great songs and their performers are on classic rocks all time.
00:01:12 - The Cult is a British hard rock band.
00:01:14 - In the mid 1980s, The Cult were one of the main bands that brought about a revival of hard rock in England.
00:01:25 - This third album by The Cult is a change of style that heralded their reinvention as
00:01:29 - America's conquering stadium rock band.
00:01:32 - The change in sound on the electric album was due to the band's discovery of a still relatively unknown New Yorker named Rick Rubin, whom Astbury and Duffy eventually tracked down to his dorm room at New York University. According to the singer, in a 2013 interview with Rolling Stone, when we met, I was a crazy 23-year-old kid. Next thing I knew, Rick, he was showing me a VHS tape of Blue Cheer doing summer time blues, saying, do you want to play music in English, or do you want to rock?
00:02:08 - Reuben mentalized them so that the band changed the sound, trying to copy the early Zeppelin,
00:02:13 - Aerosmith and ACDC records.
00:02:15 - What's more, Reuben talked to Billy Duffy about including so many effects on his guitar to make it sound more raw and direct.
00:02:23 - In a Song Facts interview, the cult frontman Ian Asbury said that this song, was like getting on your favorite motorcycle, adding, I could sing about anything.
00:02:33 - That's just what I came up with.
00:02:35 - Just the phrase came to mind.
what a love removal machine felt like.00:02:42 - The song, Love Removal Machine, is really about riding a motorcycle, it's as simple as that, the woman in the song is just a machine.
00:02:50 - It's a cool twist on the lyrics and the song has a real ACDC feel to it and even a bit of the stones in the guitar sound too.
00:02:58 - Duffy's guitar solo is just a revved up engine screaming down the road to hell while those fingers tear like the devil's claws on your skin.
00:03:07 - Billy Duffy, the great guitarist says,
00:03:09 - We've definitely, I mean, I really liked the guitar song on the Love album, that was
00:03:13 - All White Falcon, it was a couple of different amps, because I couldn't, again, never get one amp to sound good, but that's a slightly smaller sound, a little bit thinner.
00:03:22 - It's pretty ballsy on like the Phoenix and the track Love, which is one of my favourite cool songs of all time, personal favourite.
00:03:31 - Electric we kind of transferred over to a real method thing like Les Paul Marshall.
00:03:36 - When Bob Rock came into the picture, we'd already done an album with Rick Rubin before
00:03:42 - Rick produced anybody else.
00:03:44 - We were his first real record.
00:03:45 - Rick had never made a record in a proper studio before us on Electric.
00:04:06 - She's got a woman, she got me in fear Yeah, yeah, yeah, she's saying all those things that you do to me
00:04:38 - You know what I mean, woman
00:04:41 - You are the things that you do to me
