"These brothers..." LOL
Vernon is one of the most underrated guitarists ever.
A black guitarist in a rock band is fairly rare, an English black guitarist in a rock band (Vernon was born in England) is even rarer Slash is the only other black English rock guitarists I can think of!
Good shit dude, Vernon Reid is a monster guitarist, and incredibly underrated.
The extra "u" in color is based on the English spelling of colour.
and , in this case, Canadian.
Colour is how color is spelled in French. The Brits and Canadians adopted that French form of spelling on many of their words including how the French use re instead of er which is why Brits and Canadians don’t spell words like theater as we do, they spell it theatre.
*British
Scotland, Wales, and Northern Irish also spell it like that, not just England.
Ya I was trippin when he said that lol that's how we spell it here in Canada
@@planojag595 - Just like "centre" (GB) and "center" (USA) or "favourite" (GB) and "favorite" (USA), "analyse" (GB) and "analyze" (USA), "armour" (GB) and "armor" (USA), "labour" (GB) and "labor" (USA), and so on.
Had the BODYGLOVE gear on too.
Body Glove was the shit back in the day, showin my age, LOL!!
@wayouttatune2 Oh yeah that's right. Didn't OP shorts start that way too? Lord! Now I'm really dating myself, LOL!!
CM Punk had this song as his intro song for t he longest.
This song is a timeless rock n roll masterpiece. The lyrics is deep with meaning and substance, great guitar, bass, great drumming and great powerful singer. This song would be great in a hundred years from now. As a video, good, connects with the song, I like the clips of past leaders, shots of group shows a lot of energy and passion, clothes reps the '80s. Type of song you want to blast on your speakers.
Fun fact, the lead singer was in the movie Platoon with Charlie Sheen
Paul Hilburger did he get molested too?
Ixxgxx you’re a fucking idiot
Paul Hilburger Ohh really? Damn...I didn't know that. That's cool!
leafsfan1728 Yeah, he gets some decent screen time at the end. If you haven’t seen it, I definitely recommend
"Francis"...We gonna get high, high!
This should be Donald Trump's theme song when he has his daily briefings. Describes him perfectly
Man, late 80s and early 90s were the most colorful time ever. Neon shit everywhere, zubaz, oil slick tinted oakleys, bright tie dye shit, cars were all sorts of colors. Hell, even the sky was crazy colors for a while because of a gigantic volcanic eruption in the pacific. Then grunge music came out and everything got scaled back.
Yeah man, but grunge was that sad, depressed punk music of that time, and you can't hate on it, I mean look at some rappers now that are following that direction, like sometimes not everything can be happy and colorful you know.
@@looeegee Im not hating on it, I love grunge. Shit got so far out there grunge had to happen. I just wish all the vibrancy of the previous era didnt get so thoroughly washed away by beige.
@@kosmokenny I think the most colorful time ever was actually the psychedelic years of the late 60's and early 70's
Body Glove gear... especially bikinis on chicks!
We used to call that hairdo a "skillet," 'cause it was like someone placed a frying pan on your head, handle facing to the rear, and cut around it. I wore one in '91 perfect for hot weather with long hair.
Great song, it got got popular a second time 15-20 years after it came out when CM Punk used it as his entrance music in ROH and later WWE.
What's good my man!!👊 Oh yeah!! This jam came out in the late 80's!! My time!! Radio played the hell outta this! Bro I saw them live in a small club when this album came out, they blew the roof of that joint! Amazing live band! The guitar player Vernon Reid is Sic! Good to see this one! Memories!! Your on point about the fashion to! Much love man!!💯
You crack me up AND make me think, dude. I don’t watch every reaction of yours, but...when you post one I’m familiar with, I can’t click fast enough.
Vernon Reid opened the gates of Heaven and Hell with that fuckin guitar.
For substance try "Open letter (to a landlord)". Off the same album.
Yes and yes again. I was checking to see if anyone suggest this yet and someone has. Good choice!!

@@Edmundrs3rd, thnx mucho for sending that link. I'm a computer idiot & don't know how.
@@johnsparks8083 My pleasure.
This was the first Black rockband back in the 80’s.
NO it wasn't. Look up Grace Jones
OT3 Tech
Dear mister OT3,
Grace Jones wasn’t a band. Love her music.
She was olso a great musician.
If you type in google the first Black rockband... than you see it.
There was another great rockband in that time they called Fishbone, very Good to. Greatings from the Netherlands
Lol the guitarist Vernon Reid was born in England and he used the English spelling of the word Colour
I was a twenty something year old white boy stationed at Eglin AFB in Ft Walton Beach, Fl when this video was shown on MTV for the first time in the tv room of the barracks back in the 80's,
We couldn't believe what we were seeing and were in AWE of what we were hearing !
When the song ended the tv room erupted in applause and many heartfelt " Hell Yeah's !!! "
Quite a few of us, myself included, stood up, came to attention and Saluted !
This song is truly Epic and Timeless
Just AWESOME.
Vernon Reid, guitarist and frontman for Living Colour, was originally from England, hence the spelling "colour". He came to the US at an early age, and formed the BRC or Black Rock Coalition, which quickly had over 200 members. He picked almost all of Living Colour from members of the BRC. Reid was an avid believer (and he was right) that rock was the evolution of The Blues, and the first rockers were people like Chuck Berry and Fats Domino. He wanted to remind people that rock was invented by black rockers, and music transcends racial barriers. They were playing at CBGB's in New York, when Reid saw Mick Jagger in the front row. Jagger knew real talent when he saw it, and helped them score a record deal. They were a huge hit, the album Vivid which contained this song went double platinum. At the time nobody knew they were black, they just kicked ass and that was all we cared about. Once they made the music video for MTV and appeared on Saturday Night Live, they were actually shunned by many in the black community because they were singing hard rock not rap. They continued to gain popularity among those who didn't care about their color, and they've had great careers. Living Colour is #70 on the top 100 hard rock groups, and Reid is somewhere around #85 of the top 100 rock guitarists. Most of the band had college degrees in music.
This song was actually about politics, and not following politicians blindly because they make flowery promises. That's why he does show JFK, Stalin, Mussolini, Hitler, and other dynamic political figures.Listen to the words carefully, there's a hell of a message in there.
I remember when they opened for The Rolling Stones on the Steel Wheels tour back in 89 or 90?
1990....
He’s got the body glove wetsuit. Got the dangling earring. Just need the combat boots. That was a fit back then. Definitely late 80’s. A lot of substance. “I exploit you, still you love me.” We love following personalities. History is proof. Good or bad, we always watch the personality the most, and know so little about ourselves. Deep shit, bro.
Colour is how it's spelled in a lot of countries.
I believe Americans removed a lot of "extra" letters from English words to save time on typesetting books & newspapers & stuff.
The best thing about them is they are still an active band, and (before Covid 19) still performing. And they are still just as talented. EDIT: And I'm pretty sure they came up with an album not too long ago.
I will never forget where I was when I first heard this. An all night poker, drink and strip party. This came on MTV about 7:30 in the morning. I had my back to the tv and heard this rocking ass beat. I turned around and immediately said who is that? I went out and bought their cassette, yeah cassette, that day. Incredible band and "personality." Great to see you do this, as this band paved a new road.
They need to be in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame! So fucking underrated as a band! 1988 seems like yesterday.
This song came out in 1988. That's 32 years, and it rock's now as it did then.
Wow, blast from the past. Would have NEVER thought this song would have come across your channel. Man, I grew up listening to them with my mom. Wow, thanks for liking it! Even their new stuff is as good! 🤘
"You can't be a successful Lil' Lil'" had me fucking rolling. Such a savage generalising!
So it goes to show that Jimi Hendrix wasn't the only brother rockin... ☮
I was stationed in San Diego in '88 when this hit...91X was the best radio station I'd ever heard.
Body Glove outfit definitely 80's
HAHAHA I also immediately thought he looked like a power ranger the first time I saw this video
One of my favorite songs. i saw these guys live and they kicked ass. Love your dog by the way!!
How could anyone NOT like this song/video?? Awesome throwback!
The singer Corey Glover is the nephew of actor Danny Glover
Corey has said he’s not related to Danny.
Living Colour great band, way too underrated. Glad you're here now
The song came in 1988... the band years active
From 1984-1995 , 2000- present
lol Corey Glover is a damn beast, one of the best rock singers ever, the only reason Living Colour is not mainstream is cause they were way ahead of their time
“Love Rears It’s Ugly Head” - banger. Bluesy rock. Great track
All he needs is a "O" on his chest and he could blend in as a Ducks fan.
Introducing Corey Glover, lead singer and nephew of Danny Glover.
Been into these guys for 25 yrs 🤘🏽
And in New Zealand the spelling is Colour
Living Color was a super hot band, and Cult of Personality was a major hit. BTW: I heard One of the members went on to become head of music at a school, and the Living Color the band still tours occasionally. Corey Glover the lead vocalist of the rock band Living Colour, played Francis in the 1986 war movie Platoon.
And if you want another killer hard rock chart, look up Janet Jackson's Black Cat.(Yes THAT Janet Jackson!!!!!!!)
I highly suggest you get into Living Colour. They were too underrated--never got as popular as they should have for how good they actually were. Corey Glover is amazing on vocals. Vernon Reid is a best on guitar. I believe Wimbush was the drummer and bassist's name skips my mind. Dig fully into VIvid (their debut), Times Up ( their follow up), and if you want a more experimental sound then their 3rd album Stain was pretty darn good. After those three they kind of fell off from public view so unless you knew they did more albums you wouldn't know they were still putting out new material. They got some good stuff on the newer material though...so its not a bad idea to keep up with them.
I believe these guys are still touring. Many people are too young to have been around in 1990s or to be familiar with the band LIVING COLOUR.. These guys won a couple of Grammys, Best Hard Rock Performance, Best New Artist, and a MTV Video Music Award (for this MTV video) too. Thats pretty immpressive especially since blacks (as a full band) were few in this particular genre.
this is the song that made me a rock fan when i was a kid
Also we can thank them for inspiring the Great Lajon Witherspoon to be in a rock/metal band.
His voice was even better live. You should review the entire first Lollapalooza lineup from 1991. One down with these guys. Have u done Nine Inch Nails? Janes Addiction, Ice T and Body Count, Butthole Surfers, Rollins Band, and Siouxsie and the Banshees (not sure how that last one will go).
The "Onezees" were worn in the gyms back in the late 80s and early 90s.I had a Ferrari onezee back in 88 when I had the body. I'm all fat now LOL!
Hit up some Hyro the hero! Bullet, Live your Fuckin Life, Locked, Loaded, Ready. I think you'd appreciate them.
I remember this song from when I was younger, but I don't think I ever knew who it was made by.
Excellent reaction! So glad you dug Living Colour! They are one of my favorite bands from the late 80's and 90's! The concert I saw at University of Maryland was effing NUTS!! When they broke into "The Roof, the roof, the roof is on fire....let the MF burn!!" we just lost our shit! Awesome show! Hey, they have great song called "Type" that you should check out! Link: ruclips.net/video/1HbF3EAt3ck/видео.html
I had their first 2 tapes. TAPES!! Living Colour are the shit! Thank you for checking them out, go a little deeper with Open Letter (To a Landlord), Love Rears Its Ugly Head, History Lesson, and Type. Now I'm going to fall into a Living Colour rabbit hole. See ya later.
One of the all time great riffs.
Classic 80's style and sound !!! Damn i luv the 80's !!
Bad ass band for sure.
90s. They got the short end of the stick So much personality
I love how being a rock band, they didn't subdue themselves to look like any of the stereotypical ways rockbands then or ever before them looked. That's the heart of rock, rebellion against what's stablished. Good lads. They are still playing and the still sounds amazing.
From Texas...they were awesome back in the day 👍🏻
These guys were brilliant, great reaction. For another band like this please check out Crown of thorns-The healer. That spelling of Colour is British English
Their style was and is ahead of their time
What’s good boy as soon as I got on RUclips I searched up RudeReviews
Another great all-black rock band was Fishbone. They're incredible. Servitude was one of my favorites from them.
Oh boy you need to down the rabbit hole of Living Colour...a lot of funk and some songs with great lyrics. Open Letter to a Landlord..it's great!
I'm 59 hitting 60 soon. I remember this song. Elite group wonder what happened to them
Bi is another good one from them...and very ahead of its time.
You should check out their song “Open Letter To a Landlord” off the same album! CM Punk From WWE had this as his theme song.
That husky tho.......
Aahhh wooooooo
They were very socially aware. Check out "Open Letter To A Landlord". One of my favorite bands thank you for the reaction.
Uhhuu, yeah many , many long ago use to have wild hair colors and styles, Aretha use to have some wild wigs,Little Richard, , and I'm shocked at these young people now actually dying their hair white, like they can't wait the weary long journey to getting old and having grey hair then, ohh no, lets speed things up uhh, I was always intrigued by how Peter Graves (original Mission Impossible) hair was completely white, at such a young age. Ok yeah these guys rocked, and made mad social statements, very, very thought provoking, even now, even still that can apply to whats going on around us.
So glad you checked them out, yeah loved his hair, kinda cross between mohawk and mullet 😉, Godspeed, Peace ✌
I loved these guys! They were badass! Yeah, his voice is awesome but the guitar on this just gets to me.
These boys never got the recognition they deserved.
This a great song man! Love rears its ugly head is amazing too.
Try" Love rears its ugly head" next
I heard these guys on a GTA radio station back in the day. It was years later when I saw the music video and found out they were black. SO COOL!
You need to check out their song “Open Letter to a Landlord”.
your camera is such high quality now! havent watched in a while
It’s still my phone lol like it’s always been
Corey Glover was in the movie "Platoon".
Glad you enjoyed that. Yeah the style is very dating but the music and lyrics remain relevant. It's a very well written tune.
I think you stopped in the middle of Vernon's Killer Solo LOL this song was huge back then
And Letter to a landlord
Check out the all black punk bank, Fishbone. They been around since the 70s.
It's the British English spelling of colour even though they're Americans. Armour, colour, parlour, labour etc we use a U
"I hear some substance in here; entertaining though"
That sums up the concept of a Cult of Personality quite well. Look up the term if you are not familiar and then re-watch/listen with the lyrics handy.
Strong words
Speaking truth
Beautiful dog.
Thank you.
This jam has amazing energy, but most important is the message coming from it. Check out Open Letter (To A Landlord) by Living Colour. Love to get your reaction. Thanks.
Classic Guitar Hero 3 song
...Nice!
They spelled it with a u originally, still do in England. That onesy looked like a wetsuit? Some body glove shit screams 1989!!!!
He said he look like a power ranger😂
Dude you cracked me up. Yr cool man.. first time I saw this video, I said the same, I thot it was a metal band, I was like, huh!?? Theyre black!! That made it Real cool, dug this song/band sinse..
Dude, you from Texas? Saw these brothers in SA. Iconic band.
Yup Dallas
@@RudeLifeX cool. Down the highway in FW.
ruclips.net/video/1HbF3EAt3ck/видео.html
We spell it like that in Canada
Cory still sounds the same! Of course the band is much older, but they sound just as good, if not better than they did back then! Fun fact: That yellow suit he wore was in style back then and came in other colors. He was a fan of the X-Men comic book character, Wolverine so he wore the yellow for the video.
Fun fact "colour" is supposed to have a "u" in it 😉
smooooooooth
I dont know a huge amount about the band but I've heard alot of people talk about the guitarist being fantastic but the band was never super popular so he didn't get as much recognition as he deserved.
ultra guitarist ＸＸＸ
