The Cult - Love Removal Machine

Music Appreciation

Released 25 years ago and listed as a top 100 hard rock song of all time by VH1, we were introduced to Love Removal Machine.

With lyrics such as "Fall to the red room, Because she was there, A scarlet woman, She got me in fear," many were led to believe the song was about a prostitute. However, in a recent interview article with The Cult's lead singer, Ian Astbury, found that the song was more of a "metaphor for the music industry, corporate mentality, material mindset," the band was experiencing as rock stars early in their career.
