1971 Funkadelic Maggot Brain ruclips.net/video/21sP7orRS3c/видео.html late 60s/70s Rock Band Funkadelic...check out react to all the tracks. I think you'll be more than pleasantly surprised.
Cult of Personality refers to political and cultural leaders who's charisma generates wild, blind devotion from the masses. Those who follow them (the cultists) do so without any regard to the truth behind the public face. These types of leaders are incredibly dangerous because they wield a staggering amount of power through easily manipulated minions. The Cult of Personality has never been as strong and as pervasive as it is today in western society.
A "cult of personality" is when a person is promoted as great and/or becomes even bigger than a movement they're in or behind. Sometimes this happens deliberately, as with Stalin. Sometimes it's the result of the power of their personality. This song is so well-written. I thought the most striking moment in the video is when it showed MLK and the lyric said "When a leader speaks, that leader dies."
Living Colour, to this day, is still one of my favorite rock bands of all time. This came out in 1988-89, when most of rock was still dominated by hair metal bands. They had a couple other minor hits, but this was definitely the biggest. HOWEVER, their first two albums especially, are INCREDIBLE! The first album you can listen all the way through-their are no filler songs. I strongly recommend Desperate People, Which Way to America?, and Funny Vibe. You really can't miss on any song on the first two albums!
Beyond an overall incredible song musically and lyrically, that guitar solo is seriously underrated. It is both shredding and melodically fits within the rhythm section behind it. Plus, that shift into a riff near the end of the solo is, as one of the ICP guys once said, "pure mothaf&$#in MAGIC!"
The song is about how a dynamic personality can persuade people into actions either good or bad. Charisma is hypnotizing. Kennedy is juxtaposed to Mussolini to illustrate how a dynamic leader can inspire despite the message. Kennedy was the young leader that inspired hope in the US, and Mussolini was the Fascist leader of Italy who stood with Hitler in WWII. Both inspired because of their personalities. Cult like, if you will.
Glamor boys was also big on this release. Living Color was probably the first rock group I liked as a kid. My parents were into reggae and I was into stuff like prince and public enemy. I wrote this group fan mail when I was 7 I think.
I first heard this song on a floppy plastic record that accompanied an article in Guitar Player magazine. I dubbed it on cassettes and gave it to all of my friends (Yeah, I'm that old!) I just recently discovered you guys and I dig what you are doing! Keep rockin', brothers! Pastor Jim from Cali.
Great album by Living Colour. I played this front to back and again and I still have the CD. Every song is good. And all four of these guys are very skilled musicians. Another great review guys. Thanks
I remember when this song blasted onto the radio. Cory Glover was Judas in one cast for "Jesus Christ, Superstar." One of the most under appreciated bands in my opinion. The lyrics were so prescient, and even more appropriate today.
The TV show was "In Living Color" featuring comedy skits. Actually, it's not "Political", the gist is a Cult Of Personality can develop on the right and the left.
the band impressed Mick Jagger enough so that Jagger contributed to their debut album. They're also the first band I ever heard do a song about being "bi".
Living colour has six studio albums out they are still rocking till this day aslander is A great song open letter to A land lord new jack theme I could go on but see for yourself
Hi from Argentina Thanks for reacting to what is my favorite band since 1990 !! But above all, congratulations for the "preview" with the information about the band and the subject. You are the first that I see that you have investigated to better understand what you are going to see and share.
they were on the lineup of the 1st LOLLAPOLOOZA tour in 91- as well as FISHBONE (who deserves a whole reaction channel) and opened for ANTHRAX as well as THE ROLLING STONES but just didn t break through as headliners unfortunately
So glad I found this past reaction! Living Colour is one of my all-time faves! Incredibly talented individuals and an amazing band, stage performance. You guys are doing such a great job. Thank you!
@@ViewsFromThe502 I;ve argued with a few youngsters who thot this was from the late 90s or early 2000s because it's on guitar hero. Pisses me off. Sorry. My youngest daughter thot "Little Red Corvette" was new in 2006. Stupid kids.

Released in 1988*. That was a simple misread. Carry on 👍

Campaign to put them into the ROCK & ROLL HALL OF FAME! The most underrated band!

This song is unbelievably good, deep, and still relevant. Living Colour was/is a fantastic band.
So glad you're reacting to this great classic.
Vernon is such an underrated player.

Yeah that was perfect timing. It gave me chills hearing that .
Technically a cult of personality requires use of propaganda and media.
Or Trump and Putin
Have you been reading the dictionary again, David ?
@@ReneChewbaka It's more entertaining to read weird comments regarding something I posted a year ago.
Vernon made his Guitar Cry.

That's BURNIN' Vernon Reid!

Agree, absolutely. Vernon Reid's guitar work here is off the charts awesome. It's like Free-Jazz meets Heavy Metal.
Cory was in the movie platoon I believe and I've heard he is the nephew of Danny Glover the actor🤔🤔
Vernon Reid played guitar on Public Enemy's first 2 albums.
The current bassist, Doug Wimbish played bass on the early rap albums like the one from the Sugar Hill Gang.
Drums are good, too :)
Open letter to a Landlord is another good one by them
Vernon Reid does bad things to guitars.. and it sounds beautiful.

"In living color" was a TV show. Nice catch ryan
OPEN LETTER TO A LANDLORD is another of theirs-very different from this but shows how versatile they are
"Only you can set you free." 📢
Glamor boys was also big on this release. Living Color was probably the first rock group I liked as a kid. My parents were into reggae and I was into stuff like prince and public enemy. I wrote this group fan mail when I was 7 I think.
Living Colour got noticed by some small band "Rolling Stones" :P .. Mick heard them and loved their sound, and made sure they got some promotion
As Caucasian headbangers...we were blown away and so proud hear them tell their story and as muscians.. fire!!
Such a message
Only black heavy rock group!!! TV SHOW WAS "IN LIVING COLOR" BAND "LIVING COLOR"
Suggest WAR'S "OUTLAW" AND "LOWRIDER"
Guitarist studied Jimi Hendrix...can ya tell?
Check out Bad Brains. Another all black band who played hardcore punk in DC in the late 70s and 80s. They broke barriers and made some killer music.
Saw them in Stockholm right before they broke big. Fab show. Corey was also in Platoon : )
I think in living color show was influenced by the band. TY for the awesome reaction!
This is the shit...no doubt
only here because of CM PUNK
If not the best guitar solo from the 80s, it's damn near the top. However, Living Colour's best is Love Rears It's Ugly Head.
The message is that we hand over our inner wisdom to big famous personalities. Not a good idea.

Living Colour... Holy Shit!
William Calhoun is an amazing Drummer 🥁
Corey Glover was in the movie "Platoon." When they came out I remember buying their cassette lol, bada$$ band.
their second album times up is even better than vivid
Great album by Living Colour. I played this front to back and again and I still have the CD. Every song is good. And all four of these guys are very skilled musicians. Another great review guys. Thanks
This song Rocks 🪨
Corey...singer is Danny Glover's(actor) nephew
I saw this band live up at Amherst ma. college AMAZING ❤❤❤❤❤
Check out fishbone fight the youth
*Guys* what is the EXACT NAME of the song on your theme or intro music.? PLEASE.! Driving me crazy trying to find it.....

He also had a small role in Platoon
@@thlarose3070 I had forgotten that - thank you!
Saw this band in a bar in Lawrence, KS then open for the rolling stones.

Open Letter To A Landlord is the best Living Colour song.
the band impressed Mick Jagger enough so that Jagger contributed to their debut album. They're also the first band I ever heard do a song about being "bi".
The lead singer was really good in the movie Platoon as well.
The other hits: Glamour Boys, Open Letter To A Landlord, Funny Vibes, Middle Man and many more.
„Love rears it’s ugly head“ was very popular
This song also appears in gta San Andreas 😎
Talk about being late to the game!! I bought this album back in 88 when it came out!!
"Now that's what you call a happy accident" - Bob Ross

Vernon Reid is one of the great guitarists ever.
Vernon Reid is an insane guitarist!

TUNE....
WRONG! This song is from 88 or 89 and they did the music video in the early 90s.
He meant to say 88, it happens

You can listen to that riff all day long?
I've been listening to it for over 30 years.
It never gets old.

1998? It was 1988. You had me tripping for a second.
1988!!
Hence the pinned comment
Album came out in 1988. Not 98
1998? This song came out in 1988. I remember.
