Cult Tribute Packed With Metal Goodness

The Cult Reviving That '80s Feeling

You might know that the world is truly going to hell when you're half asleep on your couch after a long day of interning and watching The Simpsons when a Nissan ad comes on and the first strains of "She Sells Sanctuary" by The Cult plays in the background.

Or perhaps it's when current and former members of Quiet Riot, Joan Jett & The Blackhearts, Ratt, Faith No More and Guns 'N Roses (amongst others) put out Fire Women: A Tribute To The Cult.

Either way, it's some kind of twisted revival that will take you back to the '80s kicking and screaming, or at least leave you in a stunned sort of daze. Hair metal bands covering The Cult? Indeed. Porn star Kendra Jade posing for the cover? Why the hell not!

The first single is "She Sells Sanctuary" covered by Enuff Z'nuff, who are heading out on tour this summer with tributing band Quiet Riot, as well as Poison and Warrant on the Glam Slamm Metal Jam.

For those that aren't in the know, The Cult are going to be out on tour with Monster Magnet and Econoline Crush this summer too. Bands substantially cooler than Enuff Z'nuff.
