It's the same reason Faith No More didn't blow up. Simply well ahead of their time. That and the time they were playing was an epic period for Rock.
@katmorgo18925 жыл бұрын
turnip sucks it was an epic period, yes but they were as well. I think part of the problem is that they didn’t fit into a marketable niche. Their songs bridged genres. Their look ( which I always contend is 60% of a bands success ( was magnificent. Their talent head and shoulders above also-rans of the some time period ( stone temple pilots et al). Then really why.....I would guess that their fan base while faithful and still In tack( somewhat like the ones for Phish) never extended to the wider mainstream. Another reason is most of the songs are not of a personal nature. Even Bob Dylan has quote able love songs) . That said they do as well. They are wonderful beyond great. Here’s hoping LC is appreciated in a future their music was destined for.
@turnipsucks64165 жыл бұрын
Kat, I'm sure they will be appreciated more as time passes. I for one feel like maybe 1-3 solid songs come out each year if we are lucky these day's. Back in mid to late 80's thru 90's and early 2000 just about everything was epic. The time LC came out was a Nirvana of a time with entire albums capable of carrying radio stations were as we are lucky to purchase an album liking 1-2 songs today. Also feel bad for LC. They formed and came to be at about at the pinnacle time for music. GNR, Metallica, Sound Garden, Alice in Chains, Faith No More, ....(This list could go on so leaving it at that).

Open Letter to a Landlord doesn't really make sense. If you've done real estate investing, you'd see there are multiple costs involved: the mortgage, property tax, contractor fees, HOA fees, utilities (if landlord paid). By the time all's said and done, the landlord's margin is like 12%, if that. If they want cheap housing, they'll have to ask about Section 8.

This band means so much to me. In the 1980's up until 1990 it was amazing how my favorite bands, had very few players that looked like myself. 5 guitar players and one special bass player come to mind I think of very fondly... Phil Lynnott, Tony MacAlpine, Vernon Reid, Larry Mitchell, Greg Howe and Jon Butcher. These guys are the epitome of "against the grain" of the 80's hair bands. They didn't look like anyone else that played hard rock, and neither did I. That was what was so great, for me. of course there were many many great artists before and after, regardless of race creed or color, but these guys honestly made a huge difference in my life.

Larry Mitchell was and is the absolute BEST. I was very, very fortunate to meet him between sets at the Robert Treat Hotel in Newark, New Jersey in 1996. I'd heard him a couple of years before on WSOU and was simply transfixed by his guitar playing. It was one of the better moments of my life. Vernon Reid isn't so bad either, LOL! I was just telling my wife how absolutely astounded I was when Living Colour won their Best New Artist Grammy. I still rank "Cult of Personality," "Open Letter to a Landlord," and "Type" among the nastiest riffs ever. God, music has absolutely tanked.

Fascinating to hear a musician's take on Vernon Reid. These guys were huge to me as well. Growing up in an almost entirely White/Jewish/Asian suburb of NYC, White/Jewish rockers introduced me to Living Colour. I just liked their sound as a drummer. As an adult, I've finally gotten into the lyrics, and I now realize how they were setting me up for a full embrace of Black Empowerment. Living Colour, thank you for showing me that you can be "the whitest sounding Negro I know" and be Blacker than the Blackest entertainment figures or athletes with the content of your message and the courage of your art.

And in recent years this is made even more ingrained in us with the power of the computer. Again - it's because of the fact that nothing in our world is real, that anything is possible.

They still tour, so get up offa yo azz and go check 'em out! I've seen them 6-7 times in recent years (plus a few in the "old" days) and as Madge says below, they're even better now.

+Scot Morley Living Colour is probably one the most underrated bands in the rock history, these guys know how to make great rock anthems, saw them on stage in 2009, amazing performance.

Criminally underrated Band, Song and Album. Still rocking this today 2024. Wow 34 years ago I remember buying the cassette and jamming it on the way to high school school!

I remember seeing these cats at the Palladium in Hollywood when this came out. It was Primus, LC and George Clinton, Pfunk. They went into this riff and all I remember was BODIES FLYING! Incredible night and oh yes Primus did suck..literally.😝😝😝👏🏾👏🏾🔥🔥🕺🏾🤘🏾💯💣

They were very underestimated at the time that song kicked ass. It’s pretty accurate about what society is today.

This is the time when the lie is revealed. Everything is possible but nothing is real. You see, these men had attitude with intellect. Not to mention--artistry, musicianship...

One of many killer cuts from "Time's Up". The debut had "Cult of Personality" and that will always be their main calling card, but "Time's Up" was a better/more complete solid album than "Vivid" imho. A true "statement" album!!
@ThomB10315 жыл бұрын
Agreed. I was a fan of theirs in high school. The second album was the best of what I liked about the band. That said, I really liked their cover of 'These Memories Can't Wait' on the first album too.

I feel the same way "time up was a much better album and more indented than the first one than came the third album which was more constructive.

Their first album was great but their second was a masterpiece. They should’ve been so much more famous.

Man,what a great album this was! I used to own "Time's Up" on cassette back in the day. Rocked it all the time in my stereo's dual cassette player.

Exactly me too, that one and Vivid, and then later I got some unplugged versions. It is the first time for me to revisit LC since the 90s, and they still epicly rock!
