A band like the Cult was never, ever destined to be super huge, because it's just never going to be for everybody. But I think the Cult is multifaceted, and that gives us a longevity.

It's (The Cult) always been me and Ian, and it always will be. We're a little wiser, but just as pissed off as we ever were.

I think what was great with the Cult was that we were allowed to evolve. We made different types of records, which was interesting. You play 'Love' and 'Electric' back to back, and they're really not that similar.

We need to reconnect with our people, our tribe. We need to be among them. We want this to be as intimate as possible. You can't do that in an airline hanger, mate.

Basically, Ian went through the process of doing the Doors, and through singing somebody else's stuff and detaching himself from being at the center of the band, I think he just gained some perspective on the fact that the Cult wasn't such a terrible place to be.

When you're trying to sell something -- and we took a fairly big record deal when they were still going around -- we felt a lot of pressure to live up to that and perform. I think that at this point, we're a lot happier just playing live music. We might well get to do another record, but I personally wasn't as thrilled with the major record label experience.
