I don't know about you, guys... But for me, Living Colour is one of those perfect bands. It has everything: a very unique guitar player, a very skilled bassist (even the new one), a powerful voice that hasn't got lost over the years and a monster at drums.
They’re a great band but I just find Vernon Reid goes over the top with his solos; sort of like Tom Morello. They’re both great guitarists but I find I enjoy Vernon’s playing is better when he’s just straight up playing instead of trying to make the guitar make strange sounds.
It is the year 2017 and i get to see these guys play for free tomorrow. I am 40, and have loved these guys since I was probably 10 years old. I can't even tell you how excited I am
First time I saw them was a free show in mid 80's at Clowes Hall at Butler Univ in Indianapolis. It was the first rock concert ever played at that venue.
opened for the Stones Steel Wheels tour. Made it to Minneapolis. Went there to see Living Colour as much as I was there for the Stones. What a night and weekend.
Tough Band , I wish my fellow Black American brothers and sisters would listen to good music that's not Status Quo Radio at the time ! as George Clinton said ," Think It's Not Illegal Yet" !!!
Living colour was soooooo way far advanced for their time. Their music is great, even nowadays, you can still feel that the music they´ve made can be compared with music from the present.
Consistently best videos on MTV of that era, no “dumbest common denominator” disposable pop crap. Always thought provoking, thinking man’s band w a plan. Only saw then once but it was killer. March 91’ SLC, we didn’t know an opening act would play, some freak w shaved head and braids, leather cap, just making sweet, tripper love to that bass, weird nasally voice opened with Frizzle Fry, we looked at each other like “WTF?” Our intro to Les and Primus. They struggled to compete w headliner living Colour, but fun night. LC such an incredible live band, Will drums, Muzz back then, bass, Vernon and soul and depth of Corey, I never wanted it to end. Met them briefly after, humble, hardworking dudes, I wanted to follow them across the country. Vivid is on my top 10 desert island list, hell, maybe times up too. Many good albums since as well.
Love me some LC. I saw Cult of Personality on MT2 when I was a teenager (only about 10 years ago) and I was hooked. I got to see them live cause they'd gotten back together. Awesome band.
Living Colour is without a doubt one of the best bands of all time...damn did they make a bad song? I think I bought every album they produced 20+ years ago and after not hearing them for 10+ years I started thinking about them and pulled this up. So many awesome song!!!
@Chuichupachichi My favorite is the ride cymbal and hi-hat work during the chorus and bridge. Ever since I heard that type of stuff, I've been using it my own drum work. The whole band is just so damn talented.
I'm going to create a new law: Javier's Law of Band Ratings: whenever people are discussing a band, someone will inevitably say that the band is "underrated."
I would love to see Vernon Reid and Jesse Johnson (the time) do a twin guitar song. Back in 1988, they were really bringing kick ass guitar to funky songs.
Reid and Van Halen have one thing in common. Starting out in their respective recording careers, they waited until their second singles to showcase their signature fretboard skills -- "Cult of Personality" and "Eruption".
"I'm just a stranger in a strange land", it sounds like the life we're all going through at the minute with all the changes and breakdowns that are going on in our societies. Never has a truer phrase been spoken huh?.
Just really good, straight up Rock n Roll. This song shows off the rhythm section & with Vernon Reid's bad ass riff & guitar work, its still one of the coolest Rock songs ever. Of course, you can never go wrong with Black vocals
It's funny, I had this on the turntable just a couple days ago after hearing that Calhoun had walked-in off the street and donated $650 to WBAI during their pledge drive. One of the best jams in the entire Living Coulour catalog.

Another one that fits that bill: the mighty Mother's Finest.
They're basically a super group. The musicianship is top quality.
Totally Agree with you, PJ RM

Sooo polished💘⛅️💕💕💕💕
The album "Vivid" has to be one of THE most complete and lasting music albums ever made, PERIOD!
My favorite heavy metal album.
Yes! One of the best ever. The creativity is unparalleled.
Except for Glamour Boys 😁
Såg dem på grönan!
@@beorlingo då var vi där samtidigt. Vilken konsert, ser så löjligt enkelt ut 😂
Vernon Reid is a TRUE guitar hero.
I call him the wizard. 🙂
Absolutely what a killer riff mate
Living colours one of the best band ever
underrated
Sin dudas ❤.

Oh... and a completely awesome show!
Great lyrics. Great vocals, melodic bass, shredding guitar...Great band. Alien monster playing drums from another planet. This song is my happy place.
That is still such a killer song, almost 35 years later.

Still remember a late Saturday night back in 88, I was up watching this Alternative video show and then THIS Video came on and everything changed!!
Such an amazing band and really nice guys as well. It was a pleasure meeting them after a gig in Birmingham many moons back..
some of the best guitar playing of any band ever
I discovered that a little while ago and i affirm: this is one of the best bands of every time!
Agreed 🤘
I remember in '83ish, these guys and th cranberries were the first live bands on MTV. Ya, I dropped my fork... Rock on guys!
You need to reassess the year you’ve given in this comment
83? living colour was formed in 84, the cranberries in 89
DITTO on Mario Valente's comment: "Rhythm section that will dropkick your ass to fucking Mars"
One of the Greatest HARD ROCK bands that came out of the 80's & 90's ! These guys sound as good and as fresh as they did 30 years ago!
30 years later and VIVID is still one of my all time favorite albums
One of the first self taught songs I learnt.
Bought this on release and loved it!
Saw them in 1990 too.
Love this band so much! Even more than when I first heard them way back in the 90's. Their music seems to have aged beautifully!
+ironbeast6 Just saw them last night in Minneapolis. They are JUST as good as they were when they started. Fantastic show!
Argh! Can't wait to see them!!
I remember thinking their sound was so exclusively raw. Today I find it almost polished. 🤔
I love this song! Used to listen to it all the time on cassette!
Hung out with them. The coolest band of guys.
Living colour was soooooo way far advanced for their time. Their music is great, even nowadays, you can still feel that the music they´ve made can be compared with music from the present.
The lead singer was in the movie Platoon.
that voice damn !!!!!
In those years, the bassist was Muzz Skillings, and Living Colour was making music.
Ahhhh. Excellent
What a band and when you see them live like I did a couple years ago, everybody excels but man oh man that drummer.
Love the guitar sustain.
Still relevant 28 years later.
Fantastic tune love it 🔥🤟🏻😎❤️
music with 80s soul rushing dynamic shifts.. a time machine
I bought this album this was my favorite of the vivid album
.
the best album of that decade ,still holds the mojo .
O show mais pesado e detonante que eu fui na minha vida! Volume 11/10🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊
Just now discovered this genius band. Lead man is totally gorgeous and amazing and rocks the truth! Can't get enough now. All band members fantastic
that eargasmic riff
That drum fill at 140 is absolutely a ground breaking fill at the time and it still is the ÷&$*# today! Mr Calhoun!
The Golden era of funkometal!
i have this lp on tape when i traveled around the world for 1 year.....was in 94.....much memories.....
Absolutely love Living Color Rock on
amazing band
at least 3 great albums...worth a listen.
Funk Yeah 🤘

These guys are awesome
Gah!! I would love to see these guys live! They're 1 ov my last 4 on my "to see live" list.......keep rocking Living Colour \,,/
This song make you sweat...Pure power
This is a show i remember long ago. They showed reruns of it, but thier hit song was cult of personality. Good songs from these guys!
No need to call names. The band Is what WE like . Lovin it.
Amazing!
This is blues/funk that I like.
This song rocks so hard!!!!!!!!
Awesome!!!!!!!!
This song has the toughest and coolest riff going on.
I’ve got this live from 2/29/24 Vegas baby 🤟😎
William Calhoun is beyond amazing!
I saw them open for the Stones. Great, hard rocking band. It's a joke that they are not in the Rock Hall of Fame.
Funk Rock at its best!!!
Diggin this-or rather, re-diggin LC! Love these guys! Always have.
Great,Great song and excellent band!!
Awesome tune.
Awesome Rock Band!!
When I played this album I had nothing to follow it with so I played it again and again .
Gonna see them in two days!!!
I have this on cassette. Love this tape they ROCK!!!
This was my favorite song by them good one
Love me some LC. I saw Cult of Personality on MT2 when I was a teenager (only about 10 years ago) and I was hooked. I got to see them live cause they'd gotten back together. Awesome band.
Saw them live in Zürich Volkshaus. The hemp-smoke made me almost pass out. Even Corey Glover sugested some people to take it easy with the joints.
I mean, it's a once in a lifetime kinda thing, weed is probably just the beggining of everything i'd take there lol i can't blame them
Will "The Big Boom" Calhoun...BAD-ASS...
Right there with the Bad Brains #legends
really underrated band. Love this song!
that's what I call - high quality music for ppl with ears!
Deadly song still awesome like I remember it
GRANDIOSI!
Living Colour is without a doubt one of the best bands of all time...damn did they make a bad song? I think I bought every album they produced 20+ years ago and after not hearing them for 10+ years I started thinking about them and pulled this up. So many awesome song!!!
Shade!!
Glamour Boys, is not my favorite song ever
This Rage has more machine on it, this band is so underrated just discovered them recently.
The best! From Vivid, to Time's Up, to Stain... I could go on. They just get better and better. Check out their latest album - Shade.
Oh man Stain was fantastic too!
@Chuichupachichi My favorite is the ride cymbal and hi-hat work during the chorus and bridge. Ever since I heard that type of stuff, I've been using it my own drum work. The whole band is just so damn talented.
Love them and 24/7 spyz. And I’m a white guy that’s 61. People. Killer music is killer music. THEY ROCK!
cool 24/7 spyz yea thats a blast from the past wow
I first saw both at the same time on Headbanger's Ball, "Cult of personality" and "Stuntman".
for real i like. them great band
Time's up is great too!
Happy Birthday, Corey!
Una increíble y excelente banda de afroamericanos, que jamás pasará al olvido. Tocaron en Chile en 1994. =)
I'm going to create a new law: Javier's Law of Band Ratings: whenever people are discussing a band, someone will inevitably say that the band is "underrated."
Their best song by a mile
This Is Living Colour's 1st Ever Music Video Debut!
+Vaughn Baskin I thought it was Cult. I guess it was the first video I've seen in 1987-88.
I would love to see Vernon Reid and Jesse Johnson (the time) do a twin guitar song.
Back in 1988, they were really bringing kick ass guitar to funky songs.
I wish they would still tour🌤💐💕💕💕💕
Still sounds good. !!!.
30 years old. Damn!
Reid and Van Halen have one thing in common. Starting out in their respective recording careers, they waited until their second singles to showcase their signature fretboard skills -- "Cult of Personality" and "Eruption".
Vernon Reid is a m**tha f**ka on that guitar
why was motha censored?
why was fonka censored?
I'm sensing RATM ore one of the members being inspired by this band
Ophiuchus123456789 it's true..
Tom Morello is a fan, specially of Vernon.
"I'm just a stranger in a strange land", it sounds like the life we're all going through at the minute with all the changes and breakdowns that are going on in our societies. Never has a truer phrase been spoken huh?.
classic .
Just really good, straight up Rock n Roll. This song shows off the rhythm section & with Vernon Reid's bad ass riff & guitar work, its still one of the coolest Rock songs ever. Of course, you can never go wrong with Black vocals
Especially when the song spawns from a very rough point in the life of Corey himself!
Cult of Personality was a more well known song but this one was always my favorite by them
for you my friend the middle path is good...
They can play and sing.
It's funny, I had this on the turntable just a couple days ago after hearing that Calhoun had walked-in off the street and donated $650 to WBAI during their pledge drive. One of the best jams in the entire Living Coulour catalog.
Yes ... If you don't know mic Jagger put this band on the map ... Yes the stones ... They deserve much more credit ... I am middleman..
I am just hearing that now. I heard it was chuck d. But i think they put themselves there!
Cindy Mckee ....Ofcourse My company has been named Middle Man for over thirty years .. Fun .. stay safe ... 🤙🦾😷
