I don't know about you, guys... But for me, Living Colour is one of those perfect bands. It has everything: a very unique guitar player, a very skilled bassist (even the new one), a powerful voice that hasn't got lost over the years and a monster at drums.

They’re a great band but I just find Vernon Reid goes over the top with his solos; sort of like Tom Morello. They’re both great guitarists but I find I enjoy Vernon’s playing is better when he’s just straight up playing instead of trying to make the guitar make strange sounds.

Consistently best videos on MTV of that era, no “dumbest common denominator” disposable pop crap. Always thought provoking, thinking man’s band w a plan. Only saw then once but it was killer. March 91’ SLC, we didn’t know an opening act would play, some freak w shaved head and braids, leather cap, just making sweet, tripper love to that bass, weird nasally voice opened with Frizzle Fry, we looked at each other like “WTF?” Our intro to Les and Primus. They struggled to compete w headliner living Colour, but fun night. LC such an incredible live band, Will drums, Muzz back then, bass, Vernon and soul and depth of Corey, I never wanted it to end. Met them briefly after, humble, hardworking dudes, I wanted to follow them across the country. Vivid is on my top 10 desert island list, hell, maybe times up too. Many good albums since as well.
