I can't stress enough how big this song was...it was everywhere on the radio and MTV, everyone knew it. It really blew people away
This was a big deal for me because no one had seen a hard rock band like this. It's not like they got a free pass either, they fuckin earned it. Back then we didn't have the term "woke" that's been hijacked to a negative connotation but we just silently watched progress unfold without making a big deal about it.
Yea, totally huge. The album as a whole was killer too. I played it non stop.
My high school history teacher actually used it as a teaching tool, basically to connect
@@jasonsalow2119 That's cool!
I'm from the late 70s but lovevthis. It was good
One thing to keep in mind is that these bands are professionals, they know precisely how they sound, and how that sound will make people feel. So when you get a solo or a part of a song that sounds sloppy or chaotic, its definitely intentional. Some bands are purposely trying to make the listener feel uncomfortable with the sounds they are producing. Remembering this always helped me appreciate some music that was otherwise jarring.
Well said 👍🏽🤘🏾
Spot on!!!
Or this was the 80's and everyone had to play a solo. Regardless of whether it was hott garbage or not? This solo is very aggressive. I actually like it. But, Vernon has never been much of a lead player.
Look no further than Hendrix' Star Spangled Banner as a perfect example
@@saf1916 Yeah, Hendrix' performance in particular is one of the first times I noticed the intentional uncomfortable solo approach.
Vernon Reid is one of the greatest guitarists of all time. His solo in this song was meant to make you feel uneasy.
Rolling Stone magazine has him at 66 of all time. It’s odd to me, because I have him in my top 5...
Vern is also a great follow on Twitter. Huge sci-fi fan and endlessly deep on all things music.
@@JeffreyTheTaylor 🙏🏻
I think you are over stating it just a bit.
@@chrisrichardson5641
Fuck Rolling Stone!
This song is even more true now than when they wrote it.
fact. theres a cult leader in the US right now doing irreparable harm to our democracy. thankfully he's out of office but not out of the picture.
I don't think it's more true now, it's just that the truth is more apparent. Yet at least half of the population begs for the chains of their own enslavement to the cult of personality. They cannot see that *none* of these puppet psycopaths have our best interest at heart.
@@Hobodeluxe960 - you are blinded by the false paradigm. The current "leader", puppet actor serves the same masters. Who says democracy or any form of government is a good thing anyhow? Did you know that the word government literally means mind control?
@@Hobodeluxe960 Thank you proving the validity of the song with your naivety and oblivion to your own exploitation by the puppet masters controlling your every move.
@@williamh4172 no I didn't know that. Where did you learn that bit of disinformation at anyway? Besides if you want to go live somewhere there is no government then feel free to go. Somalia is nice this time of year. Beware the warlords though.
These guys were so ahead of their time. It's like they weren't trying hard. They were just being themselves, and that's so FUCKIN' cool.
True artists - - no BS.
Truth. Anthrax was around but Anthrax wasnt pop.
Vernon Reid on guitar. He hits that lead perfectly. It is chaotic, and it's supposed to be, to show the chaos in the world that their singing about. Vernon is one of the best there is.
I think his "jump suit" is a neoprene wet suit for surfing. Sleeveless + short legs makes it a "spring suit". I have six of them.
Yep, Body Glove brand.
We called them spandex biker shorts in the 80s and early 90s
Yep!!! Body Glove! I used to Surf in Daytona during the 70-80s!
Lol, I learn so much on TH-cam 🧐
for diving or is it a fashion choice ? ;)
One of the most underrated groups in music history. They rocked. Only now are they getting the recognition they should have gotten in the 90s.
This song is timeless and the band still sounds great live! Fun fact: the lead singer was an actor in Oliver Stone’s Platoon (1986) w/Johnny Depp and Charlie Sheen.
Yep. Francis. He was in the 2-man bunker with Sheen's Taylor for the last battle. Acting was Corey Glover's first love at the time,he kinda fell into the singing gig. Serendipity and whatnot.
@@wreckingKREW1 " come on Taylor. let's dee dee" .... loved him in that movie. This band fricking ROCKS! Love em ! :)
@@Dooklawz Ya man. And then when they're getting ready to be choppered out and he says to Taylor that since they're 2-time wounded now that's their ticket home,so at the hospital..."We gonna get high,high,high."
I think he’s Danny Glover’s (actor) nephew.
@@spiderbass65 They're not related.
EVERY SINGLE MEMBER OF THIS UNIQUE ROCK BAND DESERVE THE RECOGNITION THEY DIDN'T GET!! I LOVE THIS SONG, And I love this Rock Group.. 🎶🎶🎶
In this song they're acknowledging how "cult of personally" can be had and used by both good and bad people (it's like a personality trait; you either "have it" or you don't). These are usually leaders with power and charisma that use their influence to reach people....and they all tend to have loyal followers irregardless of whether their intentions are pure or nefarious. JFK and Gandhi had it, but so did Mussolini and Stalin. When interviewed about the song's meaning, the band members said it's basically an observation about those in power, the similarities in their personalities regardless of intent (cult of personality), but not necessarily taking any particular stance.
a timeless song with a timeless message
Are they anarchists? (I mean that in a good way, I think anarchy is good)
"I exploit you. Still you love me." Is my favorite line in the song. And THANK YOU for focusing on the music. Instead of the band's race. Music has no color. Especially when its loved by all. Its universal.
If you are a good musician you can choose to play any style you like, no such thing as cultural appropriation.
@@biggsly5000 true. But I was appreciating these reactors for focusing on the music, message. I have seen other reactors that get a little overdramatic and lose focus on the music and message. Please don't take my comment out of context. Thanks ✌ & 💜
@@ldybozz you are in good company with Brad and Lex.
Music is ALL colors! 👍😎🤘
They aren't famous for being a black rock band. They're famous for being a good rock band.
Maaaan this band is still amazing. Vernon Reid- one of the best guitarists of all time, Will Calhoun is a beast on the drums, and Muzz Skillings on that bass! Corey’s voice is amazing.
They remind me of Rush in that each member of the band is an accomplished musician.
Always liked this song. Over the last 10-15yrs, CM Punk, the pro-wrestler, gave it all new life as his entrance song.
2012 was such an underrated year for WWE, CM Punk & Daniel Bryan carried WWE on there shoulders at that point IMO. Also his First theme song in WWE (This Fire Burns - Killswitch Engage) First got me into metal at 15-16, such good times
I didn’t know he used this song. That’s pretty dope
I absolutely abhor CM Punk.
Yeah. It’s so good for a wrestling theme
Vernon Reid is a wickedly great guitarist! 👍
This entire band had big chops!
I love that all the cm punk fans got you guys to react to this his following is strong 😆
It's clobberin' time!
Best in the world!
Cm punk cm punk
Pipebomb
@@vegasviking86 He sucks.
This was the hit,but "Open Letter To A Landlord" was,to many of us,THE song for these guys. You should really react to that,it hits hard and is sadly at least as relevant now as it was then.
Living Colour have so many songs that hit me in the feels, Open Letter is a song I love and avoid at the same time. I substitute it with Fight the Fight.
"Now you can tear a building down, but you can't erase a memory"
@@vectorhold6489 so powerful and so moving
@@chrisrichardson5641 Like, my dude. Their music has a strange way of evoking strong emotions in me that will bring me to tears.
Definitely the most emotionally powerful track on that album.
This band deserved more of a following than they had.
"Desperate People" "Type" "Open Letter (to a landlord)" "Middle Man" "Funny Vibe" "Memories Can't Wait" and "Which Way to America" are all GREAT Living Colour songs.
'Type'
This song blew me away when it first appeared on MTV. I still crank it up every time I hear it \m/
6th grade. My stepmom saw inches from TV headbanging..later that night I overheard her telling my dad I might need to "see someone'
@@LN-Lifer Haha, sounds perfectly healthy to me
@@Seven50ml lol well lucky for me my dad didn't care enough to pursue it...
You and me both 👍
If you like Corey's voice, Lex, then the next Living Colour reaction must be to Love Rears Its Ugly Head. You won't be disappointed. : )
Yes!
Wow! Havent heard in a while! Love that one
And if you like that next watch him in Platoon Lol
So much depth in the first 3 Living Colour albums...any choice is a winner!
Please on god do it
1st you have to understand what the term "Cult of Personality" means, and then listen to the lyrics closely or read along with the lyrics and then this songs makes great sense and has a very deep meaning...
This Band would hit #1 now days. Keep Rocking. This song has meaning ❤
I woke up middle of the night, saw you were live, clicked on and this was just starting...
I've been requesting this for months so felt it was fate. Great song, great band
Yes it's a great song an great band
Their performance of this on arsenio hall was epic
th-cam.com/video/j74mxqvxRDQ/w-d-xo.html
you could tell the crowd was lost an uncomfortable, which made it even better.
there is a video of them performing this song with LJ from sevendust on youtube. epic.
yes it was! I bought the album after seeing that performance.
Thank you for reminding me!
Living Colour has always been a message-driven band, like the folk musicians of the 60s-70s but on the rock stage of the 80s-90s. love, love their work and their passion.
This song is extremely relevant today
Isn't that amazing that a 30 year old song is still relevant now!!??
Because CM Punk came back? Oh... you meant the lyrics.
It’s a warning. Be careful who you put your faith in & never put everything all on one person, figure or personality.
This is probably the heaviest song on the album. Most of this album is much more pop-centric, but every song has a good message.
This is the most intense song ever. This is a very powerful song! These guys were underrated and it pissed me off when this went down in real time. Spot on Lex
One of the most epic lead guitar shred sessions throughout the entire song.
body glove was a trendy/athletic brand in the early 90s. My dad had some from being a cyclist
Everytime I hear this song I wanna start chanting
"CM PUNK, CM PUNK, CM PUNK, CM PUNK!!"
❌❌❌❌
@Mark Hammond omg, did you ever see the man wrestle
@Mark Hammond he never got into wrestling until he got into wrestling? That's like saying I never got into breathing until I started breathing, lol.
@Mark Hammond who do you consider a good wrestler?
@Mark Hammond seriously, I hated CM Punk, I was always an undertaker fan. Is that wat this is about, you think you found someone online that you can start having a go at about CM Punk? That's not me man, I think you're embarrassing yourself. I hated CM Punk, but already I knew his history before the wwe and I could respect his abilities. Seriously, all I said was, which wrestler you liked? but if you want to just start hating, instead of reading a bit about cm punk's history then chill, I'm not going to read it and quote it for you, I was trying to change the subject but you bring it back up Punk again.
Epic by Faith No More need to be on the list!!!
Yep, this song always makes me think of Epic. They were both out around the same time and both ahead of their time. So was “What I Am” by Edie Brickell and the New Bohemians and Hands all Over by Soundgarden. All of those songs are timeless, to me.
This is a timeless song. It's always going to be awesome.
You two have become my most favorite reactors of all time. From her feeling the music and paying attention to the musical details. Like how sometimes it feels the guitar is reaching into her soul. Then He is always paying attention to the messages of the lyrics. We get the best, short break down of the songs. Keep it going.
🙏🏽❤️ thanks Joe!
There've been some recent performances by Living Colour. They've aged reasonably well. The lead singer in particular still has an absolutely stellar voice - which is rare for someone at his age, since a lot of vocalists tend to suffer wear and tear on their vocal cords over time.
I saw them live at Riotfest in Chicago in 2015. They f**king rocked. They’re still passionate about their music and know how to put on a show.
It’s sad that they’re considered a “one-hit wonder” because they have released several great albums.
Wow! That's rare!
We live in chaos the guitar work depicts “Chaos & Unrest”
Very respected musicians these guys 🎶✌️
Corey is actually wearing a Body Glove (a popular 80's brand of active clothing known for their day-glow colors) "tank spring suit", a form of surfing wetsuit for mild-warm days.
This song is more relevant today more than ever. Lex is right, Corey was speaking in the third person.
Living Colour's music touches on subject matter that is relevant to the every day person dealing with certain life issues in a way that we all can connect with in a tactile manner.
Lol Body Glove was all over the place back then and then all of a sudden it just disappeared
“Did You Know?”
Corey Glover the lead singer also was in the movie Platoon,he shared a foxhole with Charlie Sheen!
I really like the guitar tone this band had. Just the right amount of nasty.
I love the lyrics too, It's cool that they dropped names from all over the place to make the message clear.
nice observations
Loved this song back in the day.
This band is on record saying Rush were a HUGE influence on them.
Cool reaction guys.
Y'all are the only ones who have reacted to it so far, that actually GOT THE REAL meaning and message of the lyrics. 👏👏👏
"Type" is my favorite song by Living Colour. It wasn't one of their more popular songs but the 'beat' switched-up a few times and showed how diverse they could be.
yes!!! Finally someone else mentioned it.
This band was amazing, and looks like they are about to have a reunion ... thrilled! love@Brad & Lex!
yeah loved this album
The band reunited in 2008 and have been together since, and have released 3 albums since (Collideoscope, The Chair in the Doorway, and Shade). Between albums and touring the band does do side projects but have remained together as a band. Last year they streamed a live show on TH-cam for covid relief early in the lock down.
@@frankdtank7444 Good to know !
Frank D Tank , they actually reunited in 2000 and CollideOscope came out in 2003.
Great tune... love these guys. The rock legends of the 80s and 90s were just predicting everything we see today. Or maybe they were just pointing out what has always existed and what will continue to exist.
"Or maybe they were just pointing out what has always existed and what will continue to exist."
This right here. Shits been going on for a veeeeerry long time. The good artists alert you to it. Those who know, give an appreciative nod.....the rest just nod to the beat.
Granted, there have been “leaders” throughout history who have established cults of personality. Certainly, however, some have been more pronounced than others.
They have been legitimately dangerous.
Today, we have one of these pronounced examples in trump.
That the lyrics of this song describe what he’s managed to do to this country is blatantly obvious.
Unless, you’re one of the 10s of millions of adherents to his cult.
Then, you don’t see shit.
It’s baffling and absolutely terrifying.
@@ImaDieHrderLkeMyKidBruceWillis I used to consider myself liberal until leftism went off the deep end. So, I guess I'm a conservative now, but I know a lot of brainwashed people on both sides.
Politics is a cult in and of itself. If you give yourself over to either side, you're in a cult.
@@2Quietus Nailed it. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
@@ImaDieHrderLkeMyKidBruceWillis Meanwhile, Joe Blow runs this country into the ground. All I know is we weren't paying 5$/gallon for gas or $30 for a steak under the orange man. I'll take the mean tweets instead.
The riff in this song kicks you like a kick in the nuts!! it takes some serious talent to play like these guys! Respect Living Colour!!
This guitarist Vernon Reid is is one of the most underrated of all time
agreed
Living Colour was a great band...This was their best song...but "Love rears it's ugly head" needs a listen as well!!!
Yes... Love rears it's Ugly Head... I 2nd the motion...
Also Open Letter to A Landlord, Glamour Boys, and my favorite deep cut, Funny Vibes
@ Paul Jansen IS still a great Band !! And no those where the singles, they have much better songs
'Type' from the next album
The singer, Corey Glover was a movie star before this band. He co-starred with Charlie Sheen in
'Platoon". He's the soldier in the movie that stabbed himself in the leg near the end of the movie
Corey was actually in the band before he did Platoon. He left for 6 weeks to shoot in the Philippines.
The entire band is extremely talented!
The singer!
The drummer!
The bassist!
Mr. Vernon Reid DESTROYING that guitar!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The little girl throughout the video IS KEY!
You see her watching TV, as the band plays the song, she becomes mesmerized, completely engrossed.
Just as the song comes to a close, she leans forward to shut off the TV.
This song is an indictment of the industrial complex that is the mainstream media.....ALL platforms of media.
It is the 'Cult of Personality' that you can not take at face value.
This song is around 30 years old...
Relevant then...even more so now.
✌️✌️
🤣 Richard Simmons! He's actually wearing a Body Glove. That was the most dope surfing suit back in the 80's. I loved this when it originally came out in the late 80's and actually saw them them live here in Cape Coral, FL just a couple years ago and while Corey Glover may not still have that head of hair he had back then but the man's voice is still fire!
GREAT SONG!!!! Never gets old!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🤘🤘💜
Love this album. Back in 1988 these guys were WWAAAYY ahead of their time.
Living Colour is different because few bands have the diversity of influences that they do: Jimi Hendrix, Santana, James Brown, Van Halen, Midnight Oil, Bad Brains, Ornette Coleman, Sonny Sharrock, James Blood Ulmer, Al Green, Frank Zappa, Ronald Shannon Jackson (Vernon Reid was in his band before Living Colour was formed), Henry Bellefonte (Will Calhoun played drums for him before Living Colour), Talking Heads (Living Colour covered them on their first album)....so on and so forth.
Living Colour are politically outspoken rock, funk, punk, metal, blues, free jazz, with occasional bits of calypso, West African desert blues, electronica, hip hop...
The guitar is not sloppy. It free and complex. Vernon Reid comes from a free jazz background.
You guys did this one on my birthday. One of the most amazing pieces of rock 'n' roll ever.
They were amazing and I only wish they recorded MORE albums. They had quite a few hits!
What other 'hits' did they have? This is the only one I ever heard on the radio.
Type and Glamour Boys are two more that were on the radio and MTV...back when they actually played music videos.
@@scabaa2017 Glamour Boys was such a disappointing follow-up to this. It’s like a cheesy ‘80’s pop song.
They released several great albums though and are quite under-rated.
@@kdog909 That was the point. They were pointing out how that poppy crowd was full of plastic people that didn't realize they were hollow.
I've always loved this jam. Living Colour was one of those bands that pioneered 90's alternative rock in the 80's, like Faith No More they were ahead of their time musically. Just ignore the neon body glove, their fashion was stuck in the 80's.
Ya gotta love how earlier, he says, “… only you can set ME free …” then cones back with “… only you can set YOU free …”
Oh hellz yes! I love y’all so damn much!
That moment when we all know the guitar solo is in fact coming, and we can’t wait to see Lex’s reaction! 😍😍😍
when ever I hear this the uncontrollable urge of screaming CM PUNK! CM PUNK! takes over me like the holy ghost. Great react.
I had a friend in high school who loved Stone Cold Steve Austin. Anytime we would start his theme song (Glass Shatters by Disturbed) he would stand up, smack his hands together and flip the double birds. 🤣
Awesome song! C.M. Punk's (wrestling) music.
I was gonna say.. Who's going to mention the most incredible return in recent wrestling history???
This song drops a massive pipebomb!
The first reaction to this song I've seen where they're not shocked that Living Colour are black rockers. It's refreshing, actually.
These guys were the opening act for The Rolling Stones on their Steel Wheels tour, I liked their sound so much, I immediately went out and bought their " album". Yes, their album, before cd's.....glad you guys reacted to them. Enjoy your channel, keep it up!
I saw that concert in Indianapolis...Corey Glover had fallen off the stage the night before and still had a goose egg on his forehead. I actually went to see Living Clour...I mean I like the stones and all. Have to admit though...a whole new respect for the Rolling Stones...what a fucking show they put on...OMG.
Always been a kick azz song, if you listen close you will hear how his voice and SRV's voice sounds almost identical in a lot or areas.....singer is Danny Glover's ( the actor ) nephew.
Never knew that, and that was one of my favorite songs.
@@baileybowman2449 Yes sir
No relation
@@DJBVWA you are correct, I should have checked the facts first, I have believed that all these years lol
Great song. Love that guitar. He’s a top player.
I'm a guitar player and Vernon Reid comes from the same school as Jeff Hannaman from "Slayer". Like rapping free style? When they start to solo fast? Sounds a little sloppy but when they go off like a rocket launch into space and even they don't know where they are going to end up? Maybe on Mars? That's what I love about these particular guitar players. The unpredictability.
My band back in '91 opened up for them in Minneapolis. Great guys and brilliant musicians. Will Calhoun (drummer) was a HUGE influence on me. That outfit Corey Glover (singer) is wearing is Body Glove brand, lol.
This is a massive bass line.
If you're going to be a one-hit wonder, have a message!! They had other songs, but this the only one most know. But what an important song for history and the future. All timer.❤🔥
They had other great songs, this is the only one the radio played.
Type was just as big.
@@michaelcrump3110 Hense one hit wonder.
Not a one hit wonder; they had 4 Top 20 songs from the first two albums alone.
When you didn't know Black guys could rock out so effing HARD. Death is a great early Punk Rock band from here in Detroit that a lot of people don't give credit to. Music has no hue
Oh yeah, Bad Brains (from DC) were another example of that, in fact I'd like to see Brad and Lex react to them - 'I against I' would be a good song to start with.
Black Death from Cleveland
Tosin: "Am I a joke to you?"
That lead vocal, and the guitar riff, unbelievable!
Cult of Personality was on Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock. The master tracks from 1988 couldn't be found, so Living Colour re-recorded the song in 2007 (with a new guitar solo) specifically for the game, even though the band broke up in Jan. 1995.
Their song Glamor Boys is a totally different vibe but just as good lyrics. You have to do that one next
Great song, on the same level as Solace of You. Totally different “vibe”, still great!
BRAD.....All rhythm parts are riffs, if a song has 3 rhythm change ups then it has 3 different riffs ....aka guitar riffs. Bass guitar lines can also be called a bass riff. LEX is spot on
Not sure where you got that idea from.
Riff
“a short repeated phrase in popular music and jazz, typically used as an introduction or refrain in a song”
Nothing to do with rhythm.
Smoke On The Water has one riff.
@@RoverT65536 Because I have been a guitar player for over 3o years and that's what we all call them then and now...Mr. Know nothing from outside a definition in a books world! hahaha
@@RoverT65536 And you basically just agreed with me dummy lol
@@SIXX2772 , I generally regret when I end up making comments and am often wiser, sticking them in my “not sent” folder. I could have phrased my first comment more politely. I’m old, heart attack a few years ago, and it is interesting how easy it is for comments to bring up emotions getting my heart pounding. I'm not allowed to get angry anymore.
It sounds like I may have offended you since you are calling me names and such. I apologize, I could have been nicer.
I've been a drummer for a while so maybe you can take that as my excuse. I used the definition because it was more precise than what I would have come up with. Nothing to do with changes in rhythm. It seems you have been taught, and perhaps been in an environment, or of an age, where is it used differently.
Oh, good, now my heart has calmed down, thanks for today's exercise. Cheers.
@@SIXX2772 , and in more humility I will say, I was a old rock drummer, so say no more. I did have a limited definition of the word riff and you were more right than my original thought.
I remember hearing this for the first time as a kid in the late 80's. Loved it then and still love it now. These guys are very talented musicians.
Living colour was the first black hard rock band from NYC. I wish they were still around making music. Corey Glover on vocals, Vernon Reid on guitars.
I was 12 years old when I first heard this song - on WWE, 'cus it was CM Punk's theme song. And this was before I became a metalhead, but I started watching WWE pretty much from the moment I was born lol. And so I ended up not missing a single episode of WWE in hopes that CM Punk would appear, so I could hear Cult of Personality. (:
Well, he came back! With the same song!
The early 90s was an acceptable time for people to wear short sleeve short surfing gear out in public.
As a surfer my whole life it has absolutely never been OK to wear a wet suit anywhere but in the water. I remember when this came out great band, great song, unacceptable wet suit.
It was the 80s, but whatever
Living Colour are great because every single member is so ridiculously good at what they do
saw them live in 92 in their prime they were unreal,do memories can't wait,middle man,funny vibe,never be satisfied,type...i could go on all night so many bangers to pick from
The good Old days, when the colour of your skin didn't define the style of music you created.
Sloppy? What is sloppy about this song? This song rocks from start to finish
Yeah.. their reactions are disappointing for me ... usually everybody like it very much!
@@commenceenavoirmarre I agree I feel like they don’t understand music outside of rap at all.
Somewhere out there is a GenX dude who thought radio rock was ridiculous, Metal was in love with itself, Country wasn't his, and Rap (Hip-Hop) was just a party he hadn't been invited to, yet.
That dude loved this.
Vernon Reid was a beast on guitar. This song never gets old
“Metallica started sloppy and an then got way good.” Don’t think I’ve ever heard that before. You’ll change your mind eventually. Keep Rockin y’all. 🤙🔥🤘
I think she meant as they started so raw in Kill’em all and then when ride of lighting came out they got so much more refined.
When I was young I thought they said " coked up personality ".
Lead singer was wearing a Wet Suit buy Body Glove. It was super popular back in late 80's early 90's.
It went along the the popularity of Surfing.
This is the song I have been waiting for you to review since I first came across your page. Glad you got the meaning, the solo will make more sense the more you listen to it. Always love watching you guys discover new things!
*I don't know who needs to hear this but stop saving all your money, invest some of it if you really want financial freedom....*
I could invest in Crypto but always got confused by it’s volatility in nature

When Lex says 'sloppy' I think your misinterpreting what the guitarist is doing. These guys are studio musicians. Primus is also considered 'sloppy' by some ears. Both bands are A+ musicians. Mariah Carey is a super talented vocalist. Her voice is like nails on a chalkboard to me. Music is an individual experience. No one can say what sounds good to you shouldn't sound good to you. Keep on rockin' in the free world!
As a guitarist myself for 35 years , it is sloppy but it's still good to my ears. His commitment to the solo is what makes me enjoy it.
If I was a producer at the time? Yeah I may have made him play it slower clean until he could play it fast clean. But the abandoned solo was still good.
I was fortunate enough to see them sever times in person. Absolutely awesome. Extremely nice guys also.
I remember seeing this video when I was a kid ( think I was like 6 or 7). I was blown away by the imagery and Corey Glover's voice was so good to me. I loved the combination of the more metal driven guitar and the groove of the vocals.
Uh, no true straight guy ever wore those "work out" outfits. Only Mr. Simmons did. 😆
Esta banda en su momento merecía mayor reconocimiento. Eran muy buenos.
A band that was awesome in their day, but also ahead of their time. Corey's voice is off the charts awesome!
Trivia: When original bassist Muzz Skullings left the band, he was replaced by Doug Wimbish who played bass on all the early Sugar Hill records by the Sugar Hill Gang, Grandmaster Flash & the Furious Five, Sequence, Spoonie G, and others. Yes, before sampling was introduced in the mid-80's hip-hop actually used live bands in the studio and sometimes on tour.
You two are the perfect example of "complementary." You're both equally intelligent, and bright, and thoughtful, but you know entirely different things. Lex is very imaginative, and cerebral - she sees the music; she's very technical. Brad is more pragmatic, and sees the practical application in the music; he's very lyrically analytical.
You're both way out there (in a great way), but in complementary yet completely different ways.
Ever, it was like a whole body bang. Like he's like over there like a freaking boomerang...luv it... I saw them live at Carter Finely Stadium in Raleigh NC opening for The Rolling Stones 1989
That jumpsuit is called The Body Glove- widely worn by surfers.
This song is still relevant today. Brilliant
Yeah fantastic lead guitar, the solo sounds like someone coloring and suddenly starts scribbling crazy. Living Colour, the only black hair band I ever heard of.
