Lyrics:
Look in my eyes, what do you see?
The cult of personality
I know your anger, I know your dreams
I've been everything you want to be
I'm the cult of personality
Like Mussolini and Kennedy
I'm the cult of personality
The cult of personality
The cult of personality
Neon lights, Nobel Prize
When a mirror speaks, the reflection lies
You won't have to follow me
Only you can set me free
#LivingColour #CultOfPersonality #HardRock #FunkMetal #AlternativeMetal - เพลง
Two things that helped me discovered this gem:
1. Radio X on GTA San Andreas
2. CM Punk's entrances since 2011
Woah, I didn't know that Cult of personality was in GTA San adnreas
Now you need to add The Walking Dead finale also haha
i think one of the tony hawks game had it too
bro i miss those days
The meaning of the song is stupidity because no one would want to live under stalin or North Korea!
this is what drew mcintyre hears in his nightmares
yes 😂

Facts 😂😂😂
Lol xD
I still can’t believe this song came out in 1987. It was way ahead of its time and still one of my favorite songs to this day.
Remember what was going on in the 80s
I remember when it came out but I always that it was Lenny Krafitz
I'm sixty and jammed this song when it came out, 10 years later while bathing my kids and right now.
Unbelievable
I am pretty sure that Lenny Kravitz is influenced by them.
"You gave me power in your god's name". Man, this song isn't just amazing musically, the lyrics are so relevant, even today.
“When a leader speaks. That leader dies.”
Isn't that so depressing? Here we are again with another leader who thinks they're god and can do what they like without repercussions.

This band is criminally underrated
Under rated in the world of worthless and tone deaf snowflake millennials. In the 80s these guys were highly rated.
Absolutely!
Their everything was awesome
been saying that for years. I blame MTV.
It’s illegal for them to be unknown

Vernon's guitar solo is just from another universe! Absolute FIRE!
Lightning in a bottle (blues doc) Vernon an Buddy Guy 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I would love to see the guitar tab from that solo , it would look like the incoherent scribbles of a madman I,m sure
Everyone in this group was top notch.
Too bad his live versions sound barely like this , not he remembers note for note
@@vandervan22 would be hard to replicate if it was just one random take that was recorded . But yeah I would be pissed if he didn't play it note for note at a show
2024, ya out there? I remember the first time I heard this song on the radio - imagine my surprise to find out they was brothas rockin out like that! Been a fan ever since.
Sad that more black Americans don't embrace rock/alt/punk. It's like the overlords demand you to stay in a lane when it comes to music.
@tammy6610 I think it is more a matter of personal preference tbh.
RIGHT!!!! You don't see that
Check out the Bus Boys and Mother's Finest....these brothas and sistahs! rock just as hard....in the late 70s and early 80s!!...
I’ll never forget when the video dropped on MTV! I was instantly addicted to this song
There are different groups of people
a) GTA San Andreas - Radio X
b) CM PUNK! CM PUNK! CM PUNK!
c) Guitar Hero
d) People who actually enjoy Living Colour
E. Like all of those
I'll take that d.
Wait. That came out wrong, let me try again.
I'm a big d.
Nevermind.

Seriously this song never stops being a bop. It is immortally relevant as well. "You dont have to follow me, only you can set you free."
This song is 35 years old, yet these lyrics still speak loud to this very day.
Yes, absolutely and unfortunately probably always will.
That’s when a song is truly amazing. When the lyrics still stand the test of time.
At least to me lol
Truth!
It applies very much to both Barack Obama and Donald Trump.
@@joelbrooks3198 most world leaders. The Saturnists cult
"When a leader speaks, that leader dies." Wow!
And in that moment you see King Luther King.
That's why the last Great President was JFK! Even though he may have been a womanizer and Catholic, two things I'm not or ever will be, he was about to expose a lot of the corruption in Washington, District of Criminals, and they had to silence him.

@@superdank1621 how do you miss spell jong? I literally rhymes with dong which is what he is.
Abraham Lincoln as well.
I just turned 52. Been a bassist since ‘86.
Young folks often tend to think rock music kind of restarted in ‘91 with Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden and STP and others.
It didn’t need to. In the last two or three years in the ‘80’s there were bands that kept it all alive, and in the case of this band brought some beautiful colours with them: one of them being black.
I grew up in those days, and tried to learn my instrument playing modern rock.
In my memories in ‘88/‘89 there was Living Colour, Pixies and Tin Machine.
I loved Vivid, but never could play the songs right: too genius players🤣.
But, they changed my life forever. Grunge was like disco to me a few years after..., 😉.
🖖
Rage doesn't sound the way they did if it wasn't for LC. You can tell Vernon had an impact on Tom Morello's playing for sure.
❤🎉 2:24
I'm from the Philippines. My classmate in high school, Alvin S. Graddick, introduced me to Vivid in 1988. After listening to Cult of Personality, I was hooked to Living Colour. His father was an AfricanAmerican retired military man and his mom was Filipina. After high school, he had to fly to the U.S. Years later, I heard he was killed in the U.S. from a gang related incident. I had great memories with my friend Alvin and he left me with the great music of Living Colour.
To day is my dad 60TH Birthday. He passed away 4 months ago. This was his favorite song... This is for you dad RIP
Sorry about that
Your Dad had great taste in music. God bless him.
My Mom died at age 55. That was 17 years ago. She loved Elvis. Play Van Halen at my funeral!!

This group made me believe it was ok for me to be a black girl from the hood to jam rock music with no apologies. Thank you
🤘
It is perfectly ok. I’m a white boy from the burbs. You are welcome to be with us rockers.
They're doing the same for a coloured boy from South Africa 🖤(look up South African Coloured people before you decide to get offended)
Rock on young lady!
same here!
I was like thirteen years old when this one hit the charts. Funny how you imagine how a band looks. Still rocking in 2024
bro why nobody told me one of the greatest rock songs i ever heard was from a ALL black band..mind officially blown
I wish more black dudes would get into rock metal.
Because you're a baby, sweetheart. We elders have known since the eighties.
this band is about to see a whole new surge in popularity
This song pays well.
Why?
@@juangerenagomez4676 cm punk used this song when he was in WWE and rumours are he’s going to AEW tonigjt

He's BACK
As a young black kid in 1988 I remember staying up to watch this video on Friday night videos after Johnny Carson and seeing them.. an all black rock band.. it made me smile.. I was 16 years old and it wasn't a lot of black rock bands out at this time
As far as I know there still isnt. I didnt even know this "genre" (black rock or even black metal) band even existed. Especially since rock and metal music is stereotypically "white people music"
That’s so true
I am a 32 two year old black woman watching this now and I've known about the band since 2008...and it still makes me smile seeing a black nonconformist band
me too
Slash, one of the biggest rock guitarists in history is light skin black

When Vernon Reid cuts loose it's like a bullet train taking a hairpin curve with one set of wheels off the rails, while the engineer is juggling flaming chainsaws blindfolded as fire ants crawl up his legs. Absolutely stunning sonic chaos and somehow he keeps it all together just micrometers from disaster.
Mr. Reid influenced many guitarists. It's controlled, and very carefully planned, chaos. It's not that hard to play. It's hard to compose something so original and different.
yeah, still getting goosebumps from that solo!
Wow you paint one hell of a pic
35 years later, and this absolute flamethrower of a song still gives me goosebumps
Cm punk is back.............
...
_It gave us all goosebumps last night._
CM PUNK CM PUNK CM PUNK CM PUNK
Always thought the song was a bit more of a pipebomb
they were influenced by Funkadelic, and the torch got passed onto TV On The Radio and Outkast (while they rapped a little) definitely took a page out of their book on how to make music 👌🏻
One of the greatest rock songs of all time. Never get tired of it.
Yeah that's true. Sadly it's not often played here in Germany.
A masterpiece of Rock culture 💪🏽🎸
IKR, especially since my father was once a roadie for the group that performed this
More relevant now than ever
@edwardscott2975 yep, you can thank C.M Punk for that
Yeah, still sounds fresh even after all this time. Forgot how much I liked it. He's got such an amazing voice and presence.
this song is more relevant now than when it was released
Yep

Agree
Said everybody ever about every song they love to death lmao
Its on the radio?
So true bro 👍🏽
Every member is killing it. This is the first time after 100s of listens that I payed much attention to the bass. DAMN.
This song is more relevant today than ever.
Everyone says that about whatever today they're in.
I would completely agree with this comment. The reason is this. With the amount of media saturation and people being Instagram famous now, everyone gets the bulk of their entertainment from ingesting the personalities of others who are broadcast to them through all these platforms. Some of the lyrics are virtually prophetic, given that the internet was barely a dream when it was written and at that time, you only had the personalities of broadcast TV or MTV at best. The people we adore are being everything we want them to be, quite literally.
Monkey D. Luffy trump is a cult of personity.
I'll say. CM Punk is back!

This hit the top 40 in the spring and I can remember hearing it blasting from convertibles with their tops down as well as from boom boxes and parties. People just having a good time in '89.
The guitar solos at 1:36 and 3:03 just floor me. Just great.

And yet it's from 1987
Trendsetters lol
Talk about a band that was ahead of their time. Literally every member of Living Colour was on top of their game.
What's also insane. I saw them live 2 or 3 years ago and they were still unbelievably great. I don't know if I have ever seen a better live band. Especially the drummer and the guitarists stood out to me but literally everyone of them is so great on their instrument and they play so good as a band and the lyrics are maybe today more relevant then ever. Fuckin legends.
@@maxpeter4171 Living Color was my first live concert.
That was a good life choice. Maybe the only one?
The lyrics are a direct reflection of that time. It says everything about us as a society- not them as a band- that their lyrics mean more today.
Like, literally?
“I’m the Best In The World.”
Not even close bro 🥱🤣

Songs that reference recurring/rhyming topics in history. They did a fabulous job. Good on them!

Waaay back in the 80's, pre-internet, and 'Living Colour' had yet to be played on MTV or MuchMusic, I was at a RUSH concert and Living Colour opened. WTF ??? When all these, dread locked 'rasta dudes' came on stage, the entire audience was in startled awe...are we not at a RUSH concert?? Once they started playing...everyone in the audience went NUTS!! Simply OUTSTANDING performance and energy. When RUSH came on stage, Geddy Lee - lead singer of RUSH - addressed the audience and said in awe - 'Can you believe THAT?' One of the most memorable concerts ever.
el gar Ah, good ole Rush.
I wonder if thats recorded somewhere it'd be cool if it was
No surprise there. Rush knew quality rock. Sounds like a great show. Lucky guy!
These brothers were way ahead of their time. I could imagine seein' them perform this live back in the day.
Lucky you. Damn, that's has to be something...
Who still rocki n this 2024!! Timeless and badass! Love it!

+omfug Just as much, really. The shit is real deep. Look up the "black hand". Now that you've done that, take a good long look at a magnified view of the great seal on the back of the 1 dollar bill. Also just look at what the bill says. "In God we trust one dollar."
+Krekentaur Isapseudonym lmao. Look up bodyglove wetsuits. That's what he's wearing. It's the logo. Cool colours for the 80s.
+omfug YEP YOU ARE ABSOUTLEY RIGHT..THIS IS STILL ONE OF THE GREAT ROCK SONGS..TO ME
neongreenrules
I guess bodyglove wetsuits had a hand in printing federal reserve notes, considering their logo is on the $1 bill. It's a hand with a gash in just the place you would cut your hand if you were to make a blood oath. Funny how there's a faint sword in the "grass" in front of the pyramid pointing toward the part of the hand with the gash. The only thing missing is a reflective ink blot on the upper part of the middle finger, and it would be pixel-for-pixel. Pure coincidence. It's not like someone who starts a clothing line worn by media elites/the bourgeoisie has to be rich already, and they totally have no ties to the mafia. Even if they use the same symbols as the mafia, they have no ties to it. Forget the fact that the symbol in question has been tattooed to Mafia hitmen. That's unimportant. It's just some cool looking hand thing.
While you're at it, forget about how symbols of hands relate to Gnosticism and enlightenment philosophy.
As a black kid who grew up on rock and roll, I was so hyped to see someone who looked like me playing music I loved.
Does really matter your skin color in your musical tastes?
Black people is really rockers... what did you mean?
@@frankmoreno248 Yes, actually it does. Representation matters. It's always white people who say shit like this. "dOeS iT mAtTeR?" Because people like you, who have never had to search for representation, wouldn't know wtf it means. 🤡
Same bro, it made it a lot easier to be me.
@@frankmoreno248 ok. I'll play along. Rock music doesn't really have that many popular black artists. Especially, in the heavy metal category. So when Living Colour came out, I felt representation. Ecstatic even. Finally, I was able to enjoy one off my favorite kinds of music by people who share my heritage.
When you try to downplay the fact that Living Colour are black artists playing rock for all, but especially for other black rockers, you totally miss the point of the band in the first place.
Taste in music is not dependant on skin color but it was STRAIGHT AWESOME that there were someone black shedding the way they did.
Unequivocally one of the best rock songs of all time! Timeless, hard-hitting and lyrically perfect.
You gave fortune you gave fame you gave me power in tour gods name .... this gives me goosebumps ❤❤
About a year and a half ago, my oldest son hollered to me as I walked in the door after my shift. "Mom! You have to listen to this band!" I listened for a moment, then walked away. My son called me back, because he wanted to share the music he "discovered". I returned with the vinyl. I put it in his hand. My son had discovered the music of my youth. He was happily stunned, and I was tremendously proud.
indeed. Each generation finds that the music they create or enjoy is built upon a past.
aliyamoon80 always a great parent moment.
Great story!
cool!
Good open minded kid, there is so much great music the youth today are missing out on, its refreshing to see that some of them dig around for it

You might be one of the few people who came here today for the band and not because of CM Punk
I was 12 when this come out my friend said it suck but I like it that's when I realize too be my own person.
Greatest songs ever made? I feel sorry for you.
I came here for the band and not CM Punk. I am also 47 and still one of my favorite songs.
"Only you can set you free."
Very powerful.
If only more knew that
I think there's a consistency in the chorus: they've always been spoken by the deceiver. "You won't have to follow me, only you can set me free" in the first chorus seems to imply that the deceiver was trying to win people's sympathy by playing an underdog or a victim, but this was only the beginning of a bigger plot, and the deceiver must maximize the profit through the next step: incite the public. "He won't have to follow me, only you can set you free" in the second chorus seems to imply that the death of "a leader" doesn't have to matter, what matters is YOU, every member of the society who falls for "cult of personality" and agrees with the deceiver. Protest, riot, or do whatever you can for a "movement", so the deceiver can expand his/her influence and cash your efforts in.
most can't
Because it's true!
Philosophy for dummies.

ngl, it was Guitar Hero 3 for me
I am old I was listening to this when I was stationed overseas in the Philippines 1985-89. No CM punk, whoever the hell that is, and no GTA San Andres either.
Over 30 years old. The most relevant song in the world today.
This and Michael Jackson's "They don't really care about us"
agreed
Also Refuse/Resist by Sepultura as well
and "Torero" from Chayanne.
Killing in the name of by rage against the machine as well
I remember when this came out. Still kicks ass
I’ll never forget when this came out! It was the jam! I played over & over. Awesome song then & now
Only you can set you free. This shit has stuck with me for 20 years.
Wow...it gave you some real self-awakening, didn't it? But I think you missed the point of the line. Yeah, only you can set you free, but if you don't know exactly what you're freeing yourself from, especially if there are a lot of options into what you need to free yourself from, you're not going to do much more then stand around confused. Yeah, you're woke to the fact that you're a slave to the system, so good for you on that. But now what?
Go ahead, cast those shackles off. It doesn't really matter if you lose your chains when you're in a never-ending desert with nothing but predators combing the landscape looking for little snacks like yourself.
So you're now free of your chains in your eternal prison. Congratulations.
Now get back to work.
@@daviddunford8265 Thanks for the comment. I guess.
@@daviddunford8265 Imagine being able to find the deeper meaning to a line of a song, but not a random ass TH-cam comment, where the deeper meaning is handed to you.
Like bruh
@@cherrypepsi2815 imagine a place, where ideas were freely exchanged, debated, added to and edited... from around the globe, as a joined effort to actually see what more we can make from such an effort, as opposed to romantically spilling our guts in the hopes we only find people that agree.
Beautiful, isn't it?
@@daviddunford8265 hit and miss fella but the right idea is there. There is inherent danger in becoming woke, akin to the nail that sticks out gets hammered. Absolutely. To clear it up, the memery for woke lvl 1 etc. is actually useful. If you are lvl 1 woke, you are one of the most vulnerable category of people around. majority to yourself. You know not to blindly trust anything. Useful when applied, dangerous when only known. If you're gonna get woke, like the song, trust there's possibly a GOOD reason it came to be this way in the first place, and know that since it IS this way, you only have two real working options. Do your part to help fix it from the inside as a sporting player of the game that exists, or, operate outside entirely to infect and attack it, replacing it with whatever you see fit that day. Any other notion in your head about it will only cause you to hate things we need, and spend more time looking at things you won't ever use.
I am beyond excited for tonights return. WHY IS IT NOT RAMPAGE YET!
Cult of personality hits....MJF walks out. No punk. Major heat!
@@brandonrogers5290 omg I swear if that happens
CM Punk is All Elite!
I'm literally half deaf now. Just watched the opening of AEW Rampage
@@brandonrogers5290 guess that's from another universe that happens
This is still one of my all time favorites, always will be.
I think they were one of the most badass and underrated bands of all time. Their sound and lyrics-kickass! “When that leader speaks, that leader fucking dies!”
"Only you can set you free." I was a teenager when this came out, I'm 45 and that lyric has always stayed with me. This has always been a favorite of mine, that guitar playing is frickin amazing.
So true.
As one sees things and learns everyday, this song keeps making so much more sense and keeps increasing its relevance.
It's so amazing that certain words and air vibrations put in the right/perfect order can invoke such great and intense emotions, feelings and reactions.
This song is so deep yet so simple.
Damn. I just can't intimately and exhaustively express how amazing, inspiring, immaculate and a gleaming reflection of the society and reality this song is. This song is a masterpiece.
Same here
@@MukulVyas5 Vyas, I was a teen when this hit the air. So, I can attest to the social climate Reaganomic years and culture. This song is truly timeless I am planning to incorporate it into my college communication class for my students to critique and analyze. Your response was insanely inspiring so keep reaching for invoking thoughts.
@@jramone5391 Whoa! That's amazing. Yeah this song should be used alongside teaching history and social sciences as a poetic description and reflection of our society. I think more people will take an interest in those subjects and will find them easier to learn.
I'm so honoured that a teacher and educator found my comment inspiring. I am truly humbled and really appreciate your kind words. I have a huge amount of respect for teachers. Thank you for the kind words and thank you for your service :) 🙌🏾
I was in the Army when this came out, and it helped shift my views to be an activist after I got out.
Damn right I'm listening now in 2020. This is TIMELESS.
yessirrr
Me too.
Me too! This song will always be FIERCE!
Thank u my g
Saw this band at an outdoor concert in Skokie, Illinois. They absolutely killed. When this song played, the place erupted. The lead singer, Corey Glover was in Oliver Stone's "Platoon". His character was Francis. He did a solid job in the film.
