Plays an entirely different solo each time they play the song
Still the greatest solo of all time
Shit is perfect
Fucking. Love it.
I have the studio recording for the original solo. I’ll take.other interpretations when I can..
Its because be play random notes
It's the best, he changes it and manages to stay on point every time so it sounds great!
If you think this is the greatest solo every you are high AF. It's ok. Sounds messy as hell. The second part of it has some really feeling but most of it is just random shredding and the tone is terrible.
You gotta be freakin kidding me with that guitar shred!
Holy shit, they are really good live
indianapoliscolts914 this was way before lip syncing or auto tune were the only way bands would play
That's real black metal
W
According to the genre is Hard Rock, no metal! But I got your point! Cheers!
Thats like a black sabbath
Dev 😂 oh gosh
Ha! Yes!
I'm black myself ,but I don't understand why some homeboys don't like to rock. Go back and check out Eddie Hazel of the Funkadelics on the jam super stupid ,he could play with the best.
+1 on Eddie Hazel...his solo album "Games, Dames, and Guitar Thangs" is one of my favorites
skinnymule2 Eddie Hazel was absolutely one of the best. What a legend!
check out bad brains
Eddie Hazel ... Ernie Isley ... Hendrix ... absolute madmen.
Also, Sister Rosetta Tharpe basically invented rock and roll! A black woman shredding on guitar.
Bass player has my respect, esp on album version.
Muzz Skillins was serious. I actually preferred him over Doug Wimbish. No disrespect to Doug.,
Just saying.
I was at a small club in the east Village in 1993 and watched 2 guys on stage with a couple of acoustics. I kept thinking one them had stage moves like Muzz.
Yup, it was him! Fun moment to meet one of my fav bass players out of the blue.
Both bass players are phenomenal
@@edennard1 Yeah, I mean Doug has played with EVERYBODY (Lauren Hill, Prince, etc) but Muzz is the bassist for this band. Total beast.
"it's CLOBBERING time!!!"
I love this, it’s like the forgotten gap between the 80’s and 90’s
The bass player is beyond sick!
God damn they all sound amazing and on point. Every single one of them are amazing at what they do.
Well put. I agree
These dudes can rock out man!!! Never understood why they weren't huge!!!
Tjwexperience It's because they're black. Sad but true
they were pretty big back in the 80's
Tronci nahh. They didnt have that many good hits. I compared them to Kings X or something.
@@TronciM they probably got more fame for being a hard rock band made of black dudes.
Racism?
They have what every band could possibly want, amazing musicianship, great lyrics, awesome on stage presence…beats me why they didn’t go huge
They didn't have enough appeal.
@@kaliyepalata9973 So that recycles back to the first question.
@cycologist7069 What I meant is their songs aren't as catchy as other bands like guns n roses, for example.
tbh, Living Colour is fantastic, but their songs are pretty boring. If you listen to their other stuff, "Cult of Personality" sounds like a COMPLETELY different band and genre.
The rest of their stuff is pretty much standard late-80's/early-90's hip hop with "rock" instruments. There are a couple of tunes they have which remind me of Hootie And the Blowfish or maybe Pearl Jam, but "Cult of Personality" stands out by itself.
They just didn't have the tunes.
Skillings absolutely killed on bass. For me the band wasn't the same after he left. This is a solid performance. Living Colour was a strong band, as each member is exceptionally talented.
Best in The World!!!!!!!!!!!☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
ITS CLOBERIN TIME
+Leonel Teves AWESOME SONG,,, BUT THEY CHANGED THE LYRICS!!! WTF!!!
what lyrics they change?
@@skyreaper1087 ,
Only you can set you free is what he said. In the video he says, only you can set me free. Trust but verify. I believe that's what he said. Let me know
Saw them at Butler University in the spring of '89. Vernon Reid is simply on a different level musically and intellectually.
the vocalist is killing it, awesome performance overall.
Blown away every, single, time, I listen to this song. Vernon's solos always change, yet never cease to impress. Solid stuff. 😎
One of the best bands ever in my opinion.
Such an incredible voice, whole band is crazy talented!
The funk-punk fusion worked awesomely.
At the end of the last century, when rock music was at its best, it's not a secret for those who grew up in those years, like me, that musicians were way better. And I'm sure the members of the new generation know about it, partly because of what the social media say about them:
"In the XX century, if a musician wanted to be successful, he had to be talented."
one of my favorites. totally wild. I broke my bench press record listening to that quitar lick
Vernon Reid's guitar playing still blows me away!!!
I was there! and that night the Godfathers & Sugar Cubes as well. Epic show, but Living Colour blew everyone off the stage!
These guys are fucking deadly live 😳
I can’t believe this got played on the radio during the day; it was pretty heavy to be played on regular rock radio back then.
This got heavy rotation on mainstream rock radio.
Glamour Boys also got a decent amount of rotation.
GODDAMN, as hard as this brother shreds his axe, I'm surprised it didn't catch on fire.
One of the Best songs on Guitar hero 3
Underrated doesn’t even begin to describe Vernon Reid
saw them open Lollapalooza at the Starplex in Dallas... Heard of them, but didn't think much of them - they were early in the day....
Lollapalooza was the first comcert/festival I'd been to that had all the "other" stuff (meaning art, interactive stuff, trapeze, sculptures, blah blah....).... So we were wandering around looking at stuff - then suddenly that opening riff came on...
So powerful... Everyone stopped and looked toward the stage and looked at each other like, "wtf?" - then a couple heads started bobbing here and there.... then a couple more...
by a minute in - the entire crowd was going nuts. Perfectly loud - couldn't possibly talk to anyone, so everyone just started jamming. Great start to an awesome concert.
Hard to believe it was that long ago.... (yes - they lost the crowd after that firat song, but made for a good time to go get beer, bathroom, food, whatever - but that opening was awesome)
Yesterday I attended their concert in Hedon, Zwolle, wow, what a show! When they are back I will definitely join again!
I spent years as a bass player a "Rock N' 'Roll" band, and at the time, I was one the only "black" musicians in New Jersey playing rock music, but "Living Color" was and still is one of the best "Rock 'N Roll" bans ever and as far as I am concerned is on the same level as the "Rolling Stones".
One of THE best bands ever, period.
one of the most underrated bands...
One of the best rock songs ever, wish I got to see them in concert back in the day
This performance is out of this world. This guys in their prime were unstoppable
Holy shit, here it is! I was 18 and had only been playing drums for 2 years when I saw this and the Sugarcubes (and a third act, 50s rockabilly band)
Will Calhoun became my new God at the end of measure 8 of the guitar solo. That one fill opened a whole new direction for me (child's play now, of course) and I had a new #2 fav drummer (back then, no one topped Neil😉)
I'm still playing. Thanks Will!
Quality , still listen to this classic today. Brilliant Playing Lads
This song still Rocks!! Even today in 2022!!! ( Especially w/ all the BS in this damn world today!! ) We Must keep Fighting!!!!!!!!! Rock on!!!!
These guys laid a LOT of groundwork for 90’s rock/metal.
The level of musicianship, from all four members of the band, is so off the charts it's hard to see why they didn't become the next Stones, Beatles, Aerosmith, etc. They were Pearl Jam 4 years before Pearl Jam took over the world.
Simply amazing!
Yeah I graduated in 1988 and so felt like that song
I've seen them live in Kiel/Germany 1988. It was great. After the show I talked to Vernon. He was very friendly and signed my guitar. I will always remember those times. Great music!
Goose bumps
Every
Single
Time
31 years ago. It was a fun show. I'm old.
I went for months thinking these were white guys....... damn these guys kicked ass..... saw them on some late night show
what is the problem with them colors??
I guess it too, but they're Black and ROCK!!! >XD
A GREAT SONG!!!
Lord Demon Pyro No problem with those colours.. they rock.
dave runner
No, i don't have a problem with them, they are realy Cool! :D
I went almost 10 years not knowing starting with Guitar Hero 3 when it came out
These guys are the best 🤘✊
literally studio version you love to see it.
Now this was shredding before shredding was cool.
I don't know why, but I think this song influence RATM and Tom Morello. I don't know why, just I feel like it
Wiencon Actually shredding was begging to die when this song was released in 1988, during the emerging grunge era, most bands returned to a more simplistic, 60s-esque style of guitar playing. People began to lose interest in guitarists in with the likes of Malmsteen and Van Halen.
+Wiencon you may have this feeling because Vernon and Tom do the same moves when playing guitar haha, just look at them
nicolhaidi Haha indeed :D
But if you look at Morello's stuff with Lock Up, this have very similar feeling
+Wiencon Tom Morello has cited Living Colour as an influence on Rage
+Wiencon
Shredding was "cool" already in the late '70s with Eddie Van Halen Uli Jon Roth. 1988 would in fact be near the end of the shred boom.
Vernon had the guts and the talent to pull off a ripping jazz fusion solo in the middle of a rocking metal song. One of my all time favorite guitar heroes, and one of my all time favorite rock bands of all time. So much more than a rock band, but they really enrich what rock/metal can be at its best. Incredible talent.
is this Rage Against the Machines' dad?
Rage has actually stated that they were a big inspiration
Black fury is amazing, this boys are incredibles...
The Lyrics are SICK!!! Meaning such blind devotion which applies so much today. BRAVO IN LIVING COLOUR 💯💯🔥🔥🔥✌🏾
These guys fucking rock!
Dayum - that bass line! What a performance!!
Black people don´t always play hard rock, but when they do IT FUCKIN ROOCKS!
Haha i feel you but what do you mean by hard rock? Metal?
Devin Williams yesh kind of, or just whatever kind of rock these guys are playing :P
You ever heard my curse by killswitch engage?
I wish this was always the case. I wish HIP HOP would die already!
You kinda sound like a Dos Equis commercial. LOL
These Guys Sound And Play Like 👍 Jimi Hendrix! And That’s Not An Easy Thing To Do! But They Did It Amen 🙏
Talented black artists right here. I'm not sure rock has produced anything this good in the last two and a half decades.
Well if you're dating back about 20 years , Metallica had their black album, Nirvana was around, Rage Against the machine, early 2000's Linkin Park came around. 5 finger death punch came around. There's been some good talent in the past 2 decades.
+JJ Galm ALL garbage except Metallica
+downboys how bout Guns & Rose's, Sublime, AC-DC, Megadeath
+downboys rephrase that they are all better then Metallica
+downboys Gotta agree here
Yo that imperial Japan jacket goes hard
Have only managed to catch this particular band live on the one occasion and yes indeed, they were totally excellent! Cheers!
As much as this song rocks and Vernon's solo is unbelievable, the lyrics are the most important content to this song.
This is the full package of rock music! 🤘
Bad ass players.....
Love this band!Absolute legends
I saw them in St Pete the same year.......these guys are awesome
I love live versions
Iplay Pearldrums
F*cking amazing song.
Wow, thanks, I never knew this was on here. Was at that show at 12 years old, still by far the best performance I've ever seen live.
that sounds like it was a blast man
I was there. They played with the Sugarcubes and the Godfathers. I had just seen them one or two nights before in Birmingham, AL at the Nick, a small club in a decent sized city. They put on an AMAZING set that night and hung out with folks both before and after that show. I love these guys.
BEST IN THE WORLD!"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
4th grade in 1988... loved this song ever since!
Annnd, War Eagle!
Wow, this is amazing, even better than the studio version. I love this song.
CM Punk was when I first heard this when I was 7, been a massive fan of this band ever since
They've always been incredible! I saw them in the nineties, and a few years ago in a smaller, local venue. Corey's voice and range is beyond and transcends genre (from metal funk rock, to show tunes, to RnB, gospel). So much talent...and I love they way these dudes share the stage to showcase each one of their gifts.
A primeira vez que eu tomei conhecimento desses caras foi exatamente este video ao vivo, muito impactante!!!
Such feeling in this song!!
sounds incredible live. Such an amazing band
Always great live even in 2020, but this is the best live version of this song on the internet.
The Woodstock 2016 one has an awesome mix with the bass up really high. Sounds awesome. And they’re all just as tight
Such an amazing band. They've been a favorite for a long time
Saw them a couple weeks ago, still going hard!
So freakin' underrated! I am proud to have been listening to these guys when I was in 4th grade haha
excellent! I bought this when it 1st came out!
I'm an old man now, but years ago I stayed up late to watch SNL. Saw these guys and promptly bought all their stuff. To this day ,three of their songs are on my "Pops" compilation that was made by my kids.
Exellent LIVE performance!!
Man i wish i was alove to see this. This is freaking awesome.
a number of great live renditions of this song great band
Increíble concierto, musicazos!!!
Amazing!!!!
The vocals are just AMAZING
Amazing to see they were opening for The Sugarcubes, another fantastic band containing Björk before she became the Björk we know today.
I always surprised this song didn't fly a lot further. A favorite of mine.
THE BEST IN THE WORLD
How in the world I never heard this awesome band before.
outstanding son, I remember this back in 90s with a good video.
SO much Attitude and Conviction.
Song is still valid 30 years later💪🏾⚡️🔥🥁🎤 🎸

Still are one of the hardest hitting rock bands...period.
Frank Rijkaard on the guitar
