This song is talking about how leaders can influence and exploit people with a "cult of personality"
Yup, but then the hope is there with MLK and the line "only you can set you free"
Body Glove was originally scuba gear that morphed into the 80's version of Under Armour 😒😂
Yep. This is still the only time I've seen someone wear Body Glove with a jacket like that!
I never go anywhere without my unitard.
90s man
Scuba/Surf
Music was so much better in the 80s and 90s compared to today that it’s bordering on ridiculous lol
I love seeing young black dudes like you listening to and liking the music I grew up with a love. This was an awesome band of black guys that played some seriously kick-ass Rock.
Dude, if you want to hear more black Rock awesomeness you need to listen to Jimi Hemndrix -- Band of Gypsys part 1 with Billy Cox on bass and Buddy Miles on drums -- Jimi's all black band. Machine Gun is epic (Jimi's solo in that is so good in makes me cry), Changes, Message of Love, all amazing tracks.
Vernon Reed is an amazing guitarist!The guy was a master in every song he performed.☺️
One of the best bands in the history of music. Iconic. Saw them in the 90's. You need to react to Pantera's Domination Moscow 91'.
From their 1988 album Vivid, the WHOLE album is just as good!
Corey Glover lead singer he was in platoon with Charlie Sheen
Was looking to see if someone would mention it! LOL Good job dude! Little known fact that he was in the film.
Wow, I did not know that! Thx for the cool little factoid, there!
Yes, the 80's were very colourful.
Yep. 80s and early 90s were colorful and then things got a little more... grungy.
This song still gets me hype today!
I truly love the description of that period as “colorful”. It so was! You are an old soul.
The song is from their debut album "Vivid" which came out in 1988. They played this on MTV and BET a lot! 2023, this song is 35 years old. They're still touring.
This song came out in 1988. One of my favs! Everybody I know loves this song and this group! I believe the yellow outfit he is wearing is a wet suit but not sure on that. I know there were short wet suits like this back in the day. 80's music was amazing music and yes we were all floored when we found out it wasn't a white group but we loved them anyway. The message in this song is so true and its message is strongly needed today!!
I'm 50 yrs old and I was 18 or 19 when this first came out. I would "cruise" around...windows down...jammin' the fuck out of this!!!
AN AWESOME GROUP, THEY JUST STARTED A TOUR SO IF THEY COME TO YOUR CITY, PLEASE DON'T HESITATE TO CHECK THEM OUT!!
The funny thing is that the first time that song played on Raw, a lot of us lost our shit because we remembered it as CM Punk's music in Ring of Honor. He turned face, got fan support, won the title, then the next night came out to that song and turned heel, saying he did it all just to get the title. Thus began the Summer of Punk, as he was already signed to WWE (he signed his WWE contract on the ROH title) and fans wondered if anyone would defeat him before he left, since no one knew how much time was left on his contract.
Yes, those are black rockers!!!! Love this song!!!!!
They still tour. You should check them out live.
That was the fashion sense back in the day
I loved in Living Color because they broke the norm. Black men were the roots of rock, starting with blues, then Hendrix . In the 90's when this came out, the black people were just getting into the roots of hip-hop, but COP gave no fucks, the went to hard rock, and we loved them for it. Deep dive into those lyrics though brother, thet are as deep and meaningful now as they were then. Fuck the media
Quite a few bros in metal...Check out Seven Dust, Killswitch Engage, Hed (PE), Skindred, and Bad Brains.
Corey's got his Body Glove spring suit on 'cause he's gonna catch some curl and the water's chill.
The honey pot/ earworm moment for me is when he sings "neon lights... Nobel Prize.." , musically it is so pleasing. Just listen not to the lyrics, but the tone of the music and it becomes earworm music to you too.
Vernon Reid is in the Top 10 Rock Guitarists of all Time.
Hi Ahmad, great reaction! I love that song : ) Having lived through both the 70s and the 80s, and of course up till now, I can attest to the fact that the 80s was def a colorful decade!
I feel it was in response to the 60s and 70s “classic rock” era. (Of course it was not yet known as “classic” rock at the time.) The standard rock uniform was jeans and tee shirts, sometimes embellished with patches, headbands, a sequined vest, etc. Scroll through the music of the 60s and 70s and you’ll see why we were referred to as “Psychadelic, lol.
The 80s came in with a synthesized drum beat, electrified hair and a new wave of colors with neon spandex at the top of the food chain.
I’m so happy and proud that I got to experience those eras first hand. It was all so much fun and so alive with creativity and great music.im so excited to watch you and other young people
Rediscovering our music from the past. It’s like seeing and hearing it all over again for the first time!!
Make sure to thank Mick Jagger and the Stones for recognizing Living Colour's talent and getting them to be heard by the masses
Corey is wearing a Body Glove short "wetsuit". Back in the day it was quite popular with some folks to wear body glove items or other tight "biker shorts" type of clothing. It sort of went in line with those that dressed in surfer mode or just general "beach vibe" apparel. The bright neon colors fit in perfectly with 80's fashion, which is popular once again. Everything always comes back into style eventually. :-)
I saw these guys live - and Primus was the opening band! 🤩
Looking forward to another good year of reactions🔥keep this shit goin
rock and metal fans are some of the most diverse people on the planet. if you rock , we love ya .
I remember watching MTV in 1986 (back when they played actual music videos) & seeing Aerosmith team up with Run DMC for their rap cover of "Walk This Way'. It was the first time that we saw rock & rap come together to form this fusion of music genres. Many folks didn't know what to think, some loved it (including me) while others absolutely hated it. But no one could deny that it had changed the scene & opened doors for new forms of music to be created. Then a short while after that in 1988, we were introduced to Living Colour - the first Black American hard rock-metal band to make it into mainstream media... And they're still rocking out to this day. :-)
* fun fact - lead singer Corey Glover (no relation to actor Danny Glover) played a US Army soldier (Francis) in Oliver Stone's Vietnam war movie, "Platoon"
Keep kicking butt man! You pretty damn good!!
This was SO much better than the shit out today.
this song is and was amazing! all the vibe and energy, is crazy!
A little known/talked about fact...When this song came out it was only on the radio. People freaked out trying to buy a copy of it. No one had one, it was pandemonium...
These boys can rock, I've loved them for years and years!!
Great job Ahmad. This is a prime example that, regardless of the genre, good music has no color! Peace!!☮
I like it when you say "You can't wait to see what this year has in store". If you only knew...
Happy New Years bro! They were the shit in the late 80s. I had that single on tape, was really flippin good
Loved them back in 88 when this came out. Saw them live here last year in Ft Myers, Fl and they still kill it. And the yellow suit is a Body Glove wet suit for surfing...
Hey bro love your reactions, if you like this band try out 7 dust, they have an African American lead singer also. Try Denial
I think driven is better or feed or praise but when it comes to living colour type is my favorite
Nah we all know he gotta start with the song called Black by Sevendust 🤘🔥🤘
Happy new year☆ was 88... was amazing and colorful times--- these guys just played my neighborhood 2 weeks back, still rocking☆ those tights are body glove surf wear,,, popular brand that year , neon for days but Corey Glover the singer was the only one wearing that jam not on a beach... lol
Bad ass group bro, I grew up in the 80s and saw these guys on MTV (when they played music lol) liked them ever since
If you want to listen to a great band of black Rastas, check out Bad Brains. Started in late 70's in DC. Huge influence on so many bands like Metallica, Nirvana, Rage Against the Machine, etc. Bad Brains basically created the genre of "Hardcore, Hardcore/Punk". Also they played reggae/dub mixed in.
Living Colour was a great band, I listened to them a lot in the late 80s in elementary school.
Glad you are digging Pantera, my first concert ever was in 1994 when i was 15, Pantera /Sepultura/ Biohazard.
If you skateboarded back in the early 90s a lot of skate vids had a huge selection of music which opened me up to a lot of stuff from ska, punk, to rap. I"m not a huge rap fan these days but I'm big on 80s/90s East Coast rap artists like Gang Starr, Jazzmatazz (Guru from Gang Starr) Mobb Deep, Onyx, Gravediggaz, Wu-Tang. Check out Gang Starr - "Work" if you haven't already heard them.
Check out "Heart Break Hotel" and "Inner City Blues", originally performed by the iconic Marvin Gaye, and "Heart Break Hotel, was Michael Jackson's hit song, and they burned it with there rock version. These two songs are 👍 great!
Happy New Year Brother!
168 UPS NO DOWNS! Thats Ahmad's power with GOOD SHIT!
BTW that was kinda like a wetsuit. I wasn't a badass in the late80s early 90s like Corey so thats COOL AS SHIT TO ME! Bow to Corey Glover!
Also, have to always (Li8tereally EVERY REACT) there are two guitarist worth reacting to after 1988, Mike McCready of Pearl Jam and this band Vernon Reid, Living Colour. Makes Jimi look average!
Most soulful amazing guitar solo ever. Yea they are black and amazing
Speedo guy is Kory Glover, They are still doing live shows and they still sound pretty good, some of the shows are on youtube👍
Corey*
Blew my face off last November. Corey got pipes.
This was one of my favorite bands in the 80s ( not the 90 s). Thelead singer was also an actor, you can see him in a small role in the movie "Platoon". Check out their Saturday Night Live performance of " Open Letter to a Landlord" great performance, great band. Vernon Reid is still one of the best guitarist out there and created a legendary riff for this song.
If you liked the music support them, they were pioneers and are still playing. Buy their music, better yet go see them live if they come near you. Vernon Reid is the bridge between Hendrix and Morello.
The lead singer Corey Glover is Danny Glover( the actor) nephew👍
If you were surprised by Living Colour then you have to watch Fishbone they are a Punk Rock group of mid 80-90’s! You’ll be very surprised too!🤣🤣🤣
Ahmad, love you mad! You say "We ain't the same as 2019", I say we better!
btw this song is from 1988, pre Nirvana/Pearl Jam, before Metallica was famous. Rock was bands like "Guns n' Roses, and Aerosmith. One did a bomb OG rap/rock anthem. Look up "Walk this way" RUN DMC/Aerpsmith for your next react! The other, Guns n' Roses, died, cuz they couldn't keep with the times.
Also, this ONE HIT WONDER, the Lead Guitar was so good he is one of the best 100 guitarists of ALL TIME, Sir, Vernon Reid!
Watch prince play my guitar gently weeps
I LOVE THIS GUY...subbed a week ago, and not looking back!!
Bro, please do more Iron Maiden, and drop a react on their WWI epic Paschendale.
Love from the 6!
I always wondered where they bought their clothes. That shit is fresh!
Also check out Living Colour - "Pride". These guys have so much funk and groove it's amazing.
Living Colour remain one of my favourite live bands. I've been to see them 3 times over the years with a very white, but *very* up for a singalong crowd in Glasgow, Scotland. LOL They seem to appreciate the loud singalong crowd thing, redardless of melanin levels!
They're all excellent musicians- Vernon Reid always appears in Top100 Guitarists Ever™ lists, Doug Wimbish is just as virtuosic on bass, Will Calhoun is rock solid on drums but also leads jazz bands & writes some great songs, & Corey Glover always sings his ass off. I love it when he has a moment at a gig & goes for an acapella Amazing Grace or whatever.... tremendous. :)
Aside from reaction vids, anyone who appreciates this song should at least listen thru the first 2 albums, Vivid ('88) & Time's Up('90), although I enjoy their later stuff too.
Shocking how many in the African American community react with such surprise that there is a all African American hard rock band. I mean hard rock comes from rock, rock comes from both Jazz and The Blues, both which are favored and created by African Americans.
Check out the black metal band Bad Brains - "Rise". That tune rocks.
I was just about to recommend this song on the bulls on parade vid
Yup CM PUNK😊
Love the vids man and yea these cats been around along time doing it for the African Americans in Rock and Ive always loved these cats!! U wanna here a brother with some pipes bro u gotta check out Sevendust, my man Lajon Whitherspoon can sing his ass off and they rock hard, do "Black" or "Bitch" bro, just awesome shit!!
This song came out in the late 1980s.
“IT’S CLOBBERIN TIME”
I understood that reference 🔥🔥
Damn when I commented to do cult of personality I didn't know people would be blowing up your dms with it 😂😂 Glad you liked it
Pls react to pearl jam - black
And happy new year man !!!
I got u soon man ! And happy new year ❤️
Gotta check out Sevendust. "Praise" or "Not Today".
Spandex tight pants unfortunately took over the rock world in the mid to late 80's, Thankfully in the 90's it went back to boots, jeans and tee shirts. But just ease the guilt, be aware that rock fashion spilled over to R&B even worse, just view Bobby Brown - Every Little Step for a full vomit experience.
"full vomit experience" Fucking A! LOLOLOL
Im pretty sure Mick Jagger found them in a bar somewhere, what first caught his attention was the guitar tone, it excited and frightened him at the same time
My name is mud by primus
The visual style is definitively the early 90s all the way. The music however? Ahead of its time .
my fave part of the vid is vernon maxwell absolutely killing it on the drums
This was the 80s and he wore BodyGlove.
React to sgt pepper lonely heat club band album - Beatles
You gotta try Bad Brains Eye against Eye 👀
It actually came out in 1988.
You should check out their other song from the same album “Open Letter (To A Landlord).”
I see you have an appreciation for shredding guitar riffs, please let me be the first one to introduce you to the group called *SEVENDUST* and the song is called *BLACK*
That's Body Glove wet suit for surfing
I believe he's wearing a water ski suit made by bodyglove.
I dont know if u ever found out what the black and white images were but I can tell u the young girl getting pulled over the fence cuz she was getting crushed was from when the Beatles came to America
👍🔥🔥🔥
Check out Faith no more's song Epic..
My soons grew up on wwe..They never even knew they were a black rock group!!🤪🤪..That was a form of scuba wear #body glove
You need to check their album shade it's their latest albun
One of THE greatest bands! Listen to 'Open Letter To A Landlord'. It's my favorite song by them just past this one!
Is it just me or does the drummer look like Sammy Davis Jr?
I love this song and have watched it probably hundreds of times and for years i have had this thought "Who does he remind me of?" and it just struck me, he looks like Sammy Davis Jr.!!
It's just you
Try listening to their songs "Open Letter" snd "Type"
Black people invented rock music, thanks to a dude named Chuck Berry whose song was highlighted at the end of a 1985 movie. My homie Michael J. Fox performed the song. "It's your cousin, Marvin Berry! You know that new sound you're looking for? well listen to this!" LOL
While you don't see many rock/metal bands made up of just African American members (i almost forgot about Bad Brains - Rise) there are a lot with African American Members. I recently ran across Skindred and their lead singer is African American. They are a Welsh heavy metal band formed in Newport, Wales, in 1998. Their musical style mixes heavy metal, alternative rock, and ragga which is an interesting mix. Check out Skindred - Big Tings (Stripped Back) or Skindred - Kill The Power (Explicit Lyrics)
OMG I had to come back and tell you to check the Whole Wheat Bread (African American Punk Band) - "No Problem" I just saw. The song to the Muppets. ruclips.net/video/SPLUfviq9wo/видео.html. As soon as it starts Kermit is looking for for his 40 It cracked me up!
Come on bruh!
Omg!!!the younger generation misses the point of this song.
Man you might have a point about colors of the 80s
Sup young homie.... CM Punk still comes out to this song in AEW.... Vernon Reid a beast on guitar to this day!!!
Yeah, I think at the time they were the only all-African-American metal band around.
Thanks to Carl Johnson's radio car
Try out some Judas Priest Boiii
Judas Priest- Painkiller (If you want to jump right into it)
Judas Priest- Victim of Changes (If you want to ease into it)
Judas Priest is also a Thrash/Heavy/Metal Band
Check out Bad Brains, House of the suffering.
Great reaction to a great band. Please check out Tony McAlpine
