I was 12 years old when Vivid was released. At that time, I was already listening to Thrash Metal and Death Metal for years. Living Colour was instantly accepted and loved by the metal community. Vivid is an instant classic. The entire album is solid. Another favorite track of mine is "Open Letter (To a Landlord)". Living Colour played at CBGB's (a beloved Metal & Hardcore venue in NYC.) Living Colour released several more albums after Vivid. All of which are excellent, IMO. Corey Glover's iconic vocals appear in other side projects too. Check out Ultraphonix and Stevie D featuring Corey Glover.

Another great reaction montage. It's fun to see all these reactors having a lightbulb moment in realizing the band is black. I wonder how they'd react to the band Death, who were three brothers (in both senses of the word) from Detroit who formed a punk band in the early 1970s. So, they were pioneers on two fronts: one of the first (if not _the_ first) all-black recording rock bands, and one of the first (if not _the_ first) punk bands anywhere. There's even a documentary about them ("A Band Called Death"). EDIT: An additional note of appreciation for your informative descriptions under the videos, which add some nice background and context for the videos themselves.

That's the exact face I had in the 1980s when I found out this incredible band was all Black guys rocking HARD. AWESOME.

These guys were incredible, Cory (the singer) was into doing movies at that time and IMO, if they were able to keep it together the sky was the limit, they had other songs from their album that will blow you away as well. To this day I listen to this and... It puts me in a better frame of mind, the guitar solos, especially the 2nd one is absolutely insane.

I just wanted to recommend their first album to Anyone who hasn’t heard it. I was a teen in the 80s, this is still one of the best rock albums from that era.

The bass line in this song is insane. And they could play anything. They have an amazing blues song caked love rears up is ugly head. Incredible

This is easily one of the Greatest Rock Songs of all Time! Knowledge is power, but music is Passion. Living Colour, take your place among the greatest of all time! Can a brother, get some guitar lessons, Vern?

I was a kid when I heard heard this. I instantly loved it! Even back then I understood what they were talking about. Many people pointed out Ghandi but there were many that they were talking about. Another “leader” who was/is worshipped by the masses but was an awful human being was Mother Theresa. It is a bit more common now to be critical of her but back then it was unheard of. Mind you, Mother Theresa had multiple “homes” for the poor but she would rather see them starve to be closer to Christ. There was a lot that woman did that was inhumane to say the least; starving the poor, refusing basic care, those homes she got millions of dollars donations for? Yeah, they never saw a dime. She housed the sick but would let them life in squalor. The hamo of religion was strong and she became a Saint only after the church changed there criteria for one. If you can’t tell, I have a lot to say about Mother Theresa none of it is good. But that goes for Ghandi too. One of his wives Aisha was just a *child!* They preyed upon so man y and they are still talked about positively by the masses except by the few who knew these people and their lives.

From Malcolm X to FDR what a ride! Vernon Reid is a guitarist of epic proportions that is not always talked about but all you have to do is listen nothing more nothing less. The power that Corey Glover uses to deliver those lyrics is amazing and perfect for this song.

I was a 27 year old man when this came out, I absolutely loved it on it’s surface, but I never truly understood it, now as a 60 something year old man I can truly say this was truly prescient, it’s like they had a crystal ball, so poetically describing the trumpist, maga, neo-nazi, cult of personality we have now in 2022. If you need and example, just look at some clips from the CPAC convention in Dallas, TX going on this weekend.

Sadly, the same thing applies to Joe Biden. People know him from being V.P. and the memes. Look into his past politics and you'll see he's bad too.

@@modernenglishman7802 even if what you say is true, his current behavior/actions are what’s relevant. Biden just signed into law one of the most impactful (read, beneficial) bills in the history of the US, the inflation reduction act which will finally tackle climate change amongst a myriad of other things that people who are not part of the trump cult care about and are important for our survival as a species. Filthy, abominable Trump cares nothing about anything other than himself. The sooner he’s pushing up daisies or in an orange jumpsuit (to match his skin) the better off the world will be. Biden has turned out to be one of the best presidents we have have in modern day history - and the fascist Republican Party, Fox News, et. al. is just seething over it.

Let's put it this way y'all. I've been jamming since the 70s. And I've never ever seen an all black rock band that jammed like this. And put shame to a lot of other rock bands. They were new and unique and had their own sound. And me coming from the greatest Rock era of our time loved every minute of it😂😊

Not only is this song one of the most important songs ever. Right up there with Imagine. It's also my most favorite song ever. Cult of Personality is what got Cadet Bone Spurs elected POTUS. And the world is poorer for it.
@88wildcat Жыл бұрын
Cult of personality is also what got Obama elected (and Bill Clinton, and Ronald Reagan, and JFK, and probably about half the other presidents that have ever been in office). The world isn't poorer for Trump being president. The world is poorer due to the reaction by the jerkoffs in the media and the Washington establishment (but there I go repeating myself) to Trump being president. Their "cure" has done way more damage to this country than Trump's "disease" ever did.

This song along with a lot of other songs from the past are so freaking important to some of the issues going on in the US right now and around the world that I wish somebody out there would make a compilation album and distribute it. This is definitely one of those tracks that should be featured.
