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.

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

I'm going tongo MENTAL if I hear this sing tonight at Rampage!

Happy CM Punk day to you too! Hopefully it is full of presents!

Holy crap was that a pop. Seriously the biggest pop I have ever heard. I loved how they just started right into it. Fans chanting CM PUNK, Cult of Personality blares over the speakers, and then the loudest celebration I have ever heard. God I wish I could have been there in person.

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.

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.

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 👌🏻

This song pays well.

I didn't know anyone actually loved politics. It's important to pay attention to but I think most people hate it. Yea it's amazing how many leaders have created a Cult Of Personality to boost their image. It still happens today unfortunately smh. Also love CM Punk and these guys have been cited as an influence by several other Black Rock musicians very underrated. I'd put Fishbone up there too albeit that is more Ska.

No need for tears my friend. Honestly, CM Punk did very well on the ground for white belt against brown one. He managed to deffend from choke few times and deffended himself really decently. Its just that CM Punks inexperience was biggeat factor here. Coming with no fights into UFC against great prospect like Mickey Gall was a great feat in itself. Now CM Punk got baptized in Octogon and things only beggining for him!

Indeed a classic forever

They may have won awards but they also went away as quickly as they arrived. There was one other song that hit rotation, but it never gained this traction. Then to be honest came Nirvana and hard rock/metal dropped in popularity, which took all the bands like this with it.

According to who? The individuals in this band are respected and held in high regard by those who matter and they know it.

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.

True better then Lenny kravitz

What about fishbone

Living Color is one of my favorite bands. If you like metal/thrash, a new band called Unlocking the Truth is worth checking out. Every time I listen to them the riffs and melodies get stuck in my head for days. Their first album is called Chaos and has some really strong songs on it.

For one hit song? Might as well. The bar is so low for african americans anyway.

Richard Cass Thanks for the recommendation! Found them on Spotify and they sound awesome!

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.

+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.

Followed be "When a leader speaks, that leader dies", implying that leaders that do speak the truth are assassinated.

He says " when a mirror speaks, the reflection lies" then in verse 2 he says. "when a leader speaks , that leader dies "

Is more amazing “when THAT LAEDER SPEAKS That LEADER DIES”

they were beyond their time!!!

Word

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.
