Such amazing talent! Grew up listening to many of the songs you have covered. Don’t know where to post a song cover request, I feel that the LLB would do a killer job covering Sausalito Summernight by Diesel!

Another one that you’ve done that I think is better than the original!
Bros and sista...do you not know hard it is to cover this song?? This song has a high level of feeling, depth, tonality and playing ability. BUT you covered it beyond expectations.! There are only two bands on Earth that can perform this masterpiece.... Living Colour and YOU!!
Randy KILLED that bass line!!!🤘🏼

He sure did! That's not an easy bass line to play, either...I know from experience! Well-done, Randy!!!
I didnt expect that solo to be so extremely accurate to the studio original. just amazing cover, I feel bad calling it a cover because its so dang sweet.

Exactly. Calling LLB a cover band seems like a slight. Each one of these musicians could be called into the original group’s concert tour lineup at anytime.

This guitar solo is just MONSTROUS
This is one of those songs where the bass players has to have chops and put in WORK. Randy knocked it out of the park.
Living Colour's Cult of Personality will stand the test of time. Everything about this song is the perfect rock anthem, and the message is insanely profound and relevant. You guys doing this cover to perfection is proof.
Faces = melted. Everyone kills in this cover, but Randy...I see you holding down that bass line. That was awesome!
I've watched you guys for years and never commented until now. I'm floored after seeing that. I never thought you guys would tackle a song as heavy and guitar intense as that one is and you nailed it to perfection. I'm sorry that I don't know which guitar player, Chris or Brad, unleashed the goods on Vernon's solo, but he absolutely killed. I just kept shaking my head throughout the song that you guys were on fire on this. I know a lot of LLB fans might not care for the metal flavor of this, but personally, I want more like this! You guys can crank it out!

Saw them when this was new opening for the Stones in ATL...in 1989
That bass player is a monster 🤟👍🏻
I remember Vernon Reed on the cover of guitar player magazine .. Damn that cover DID JUSTICE !!!!!!
Vernon, is that you??? Another proper banger from LLB!!!
Vernon Reid is a legend. So are you all.
Holy shit!!!!! I’m grinning ear to ear and head banging the whole song! That lead guitar fret board was on the verge of burning off the neck! Freaking sick cover by EVERYONE involved.
Wow, Wow, Wow!!! Chills from head to toes!!!! My man has Vernons tone down to a tee!!!! Really great job people. So, So professional and very tight!! Did I say WOW yet? This 57 year old white dude is up jumping and headbanging like crazy, its a good thing I'm home alone. Loved them when I bought the album in the summer of 1988, and still love them now.

Was in 4th grade... Of the 3 schoolbus drivers I had over 9 years, the driver always had the top 40 or classic rock station playing on the bus. Had to ride for like 30 to 40 minutes a day living in the country. These songs always seem to remind me of riding on the bus to or from school. Then there was the Sony Walkman cassette and headphones I used on the bus. And in teenage years hanging out in NRM or Camelot music in the mall... that just got renovated into a warehouse/industrial space.... Like the other commenter.... What on Earth happened. haha
One word: WOW!!!
OMG!! I give that one a solid 20 out of 10! That song is DEAD...cause you all KILLED IT!!
I don’t know if this is the best one you’ve ever done but, it’s gotta be in the top two.

Now I am absolutely fascinated. I'd be desperately challenged to narrow it down to a top ten (even these guys give themselves 11 slots), what would put alongside this for top honors?

Ok, after witnessing that guitar solo my face just melted. Perfect tribute to a song that’s more relevant than ever nowadays. LLB as always, you guys have delivered a 5-star performance!
I could swear I saw flames coming out of the lead guitarists finger tips during that 2nd solo
Daaaaaaaaaaaaang y’all 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
WOW...note for note... Shredding that guitar
oh my GOD THAT SOLO IS JUST… OMG 🎸 🔥
You just might be the most versatile cover band ever! Bravo! This ROCKS!
I have truly enjoyed your videos for over a year. Brilliant covers, spot-on accuracy. Then I saw this one on my youtube feed and I said "wait... _nobody_ can play like Vernon Reid. NOBODY can do that apeshit, 64th note wang bar waltz like Ried". Well, Almost nobody. Amazeboo.
Holy Sh*t, Phenomenal!!!!!!🎸 What a incredible guitar player! Hands down, one of the best bands around LLB!!
Setting up for a gig tonight and the drummer asks if I can run home and grab a hi-hat stand since he forgot to load his and I live closest to the venue. I get in the car and while I’m trying to get music playing on my phone I see ‘Cult Of Personality’ pop up in my notifications and click on it to see what it is. I played CoP for a talent show in high school and have always loved the song so your version brought a huge smile to my face. I may have ignored the speed limit on the way home while singing along as loudly as I could. Thank you for firing me up on what is going to be a long night.
DAMN!! That cover was exact!! That is the first time I have ever heard it done this good since the original!! Amazing.
Mind blown! 🤯 For the record, I've been making minimalistic comments, until now, because I'm not a musician. I just love music and I know what I like. I feel anything I might try to say would be insulting to those who know what they're talking about... a.k.a. be a poser. Just keep on keepin' on!
Wow! The solos and vocals! Jessica bringings more energy and life by rocking out in the background! . Love it
Hell ya!! If Siskel and Ebert were here, they’d be given that two thumbs up!! First of all, that’s my dude on lead vocals, killing it, and rocking out…you are the man bro! Next we got the lead guitarist shredding Vernon Reid…note for note… and completely rocking out, in the zone…and in the moment! Killer “Lab” presence and just a flawless performance man!! Next up, that bass looks like GQ magazine just came out with their own signature bass! Talk about a sharp looking instrument, dang! Then, the drummer… just in the pocket, spinning sticks, smashing flams, kicking a** and taking names! Overall performance…I give it a 10…not that I’m anybody, but I’ve been playing drums, singing lead vocals and playing lead guitar for over 30 years, so I’d like to believe I’ve got a good ear. Just an absolutely phenomenal performance guys, that made my night, thank you!! Oh… and I’ve been sharing your music every day since found your page! 🙏
DAMN THAT ROCK'S !!! Lead Guitar ( and All of you ) just SMOK'IN It !!
Okay. That's it. It's official. Y'all can literally play anything.
Amazing as usual…..what a perfect way to start the day. How about more Living Colour?
Awesome.The complicate musical changes along are difficult. Singing t the original tone is an incredible feat. Lead guitarist killed it. They all did.
This song never gets mentioned in the list of top riffs, or top 80s guitar performances, and I don't know why. It is so memorable and just fantastic all around. Great job!
Someone hold my beer said the lead guitarist,that was epic,I think the best you've ever done
Everything about this is true to the original, EVERYTHING!!! That was exquisite…………
Bass player is 🔥 🔥. Muzz Skillings would be proud!
Leonard bringin the goods! Mad props to the guitar player. Not very many players can pull off Vernon Reed with credibility. Great job to all!
Wow, what a great cover of a great song. Nailed it! The singer has been knocking me out lately with his versatility on so many tunes, really great! And everyone is talking about the work capturing the work of Burnin' Vernon Reed's guitar solo so I'll just leave at 'Bravo!'
That guitar solo gave me goosebumps....
WOW!!!! Another great example of how good this band is! Amazing!!! Also, Sweetwater is an amazing place! I live about 5 miles from their main store in Ft. Wayne, IN. If you ever visit Ft. Wayne, you have to take a couple of hours and visit their store. You won’t be disappointed!
Imagine as a teenager the feeling of hearing these songs for the first time and then 35 years later having that feeling all over again only this time, it’s as if you’re at the live concert with NO mishaps… I hope you guys know how appreciated you are by those who lived through one of greatest times in music history and how it takes us back to our prime… This is every bit as good as the original.
Not sure that isn't their best yet. Incredible song that's still so relevant today. They did Vernon, Corey and the whole band justice and that ain't easy!
Sweet! Vernon Reid is a monster! Well done LLB!
HOLY CRAP! What energy!! You guys are NEXT level. BTW.....lead guitarist is a monster. 😮
You just blew the roof off whatever studio you're in. That KICKED ASS Guys!!!!
Wow. I thought you all were crazy to try and attempt this one! Vernon Reid is a untouchable MONSTER on guitar. Not to mention Corey’s vocals and the killer drums & bass. You did it Justice.
OMG Best one yet!! You guys are unreal !
Speechless … definitely my top fav LLB cover.
Looooove this song! Thanks so much for performing it! The baseline to this is SO DIFFICULT! Props to your bassist!
Damn! A mic drop moment!! This band is just amazing. The guitar work by Chris leaves you speechless. Ryan and Randy killing it too! Hell, everyone was on point!!! Thank you all for this performance!!!
Thanks, one of my favourite bands from the 80s. The axework on this one is on the mark. Vernon Reid has his own style. Well done!
AHHHHMAZZING that this guy was able to figure out Vernon's intricate and intensely frenetic solos in this tune...incredible!
That guitar tone tho, so on point and recognizable. Great stuff..
VIVID, such a great album. Vernon Reid's solos are insane
That was fantastic. You know it’s good when that bass player is smirking lol
That was Outstanding. Dude Killed it on guitar! .... good to see Ryan back on the pads, w the Epic Twirl at 3:49! .... and loved seeing how much fun Jess was having! Fabulous. 8-)
Holy crap the guitar solos were on point! Wow!
Fantastic Job 👍👌 Wow! It's one of those smashing fast paced Rock Songs that came and went. But I thought it was Amazing with it's dynamic riffs, tight bass runs, almost syncopated drum runs. You have to really nail the Spirit if this song. You All Nailed it, Big Time. ,🎸🎼🎶🥁🎉 Wow, all the way from Living Colour 1988 Vivid Album. Their single from their Freshman Album. Won a Grammy Award for Best Performance 🎸 God Bless the MTV Hey Day. It won 2 MTV Awards for Best Group and Best New Artist! Good choice of Song LLB!
ALL I CAN SAY IS WOW!!!!! IN CAPS!!!!!!🤟
I’m not sure Mikes voice has sounded better than this. Incredibly well done by everyone
Every single person totally brought it! Loved it. I didn't remember the bass being so outstanding in this song. Looked like fun to play. Well played and well done. Fantastic.
Wow!!!!!!! I am definitely a member of the "Cult of LLB"
Damn! Absolutely badass people, absolutely! Fantastic Vande! Holy Moly!!!
Opened video link. Browsed through 12-15 top comments. Hit PLAY. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!. Hit LIKE. Searched online for new audio card and speakers.
I am absolutely blown away…. That was wicked! Awesome job!! I think this is the best one yet!!
I dont speak english, but the song of LLB is an demonstration of extreme talent and passion to play with greatness great musics that belong to humanit . GOD BLESS LLB ❤
Knocked it out of the park!!! Just wow.
BEYOND EXCELLENT!!! WOW!!!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Holy smokes !!!!!! Great song and great cover of it so true to the great Vernon Reid in guitar wow smoking smoking smoking guitars 🎸 ❤👍🏼
Get on the bus and start the tour!!! Just Damn!!
Such an Iconic Sound ...SO WELL DONE Vernon Reid is Smilling
I cannot stop watching this. Absolute phenomenal and beyond excellent.💪👍
Once again, LLB nails it! My man blazing on the solo I thought for sure his fingers were going to catch on fire!
wow! WOW! WOW!....I LOVE IT !!! THAT IS A BAD ASS COVER!! GREAT JOB EVERYONE!!!
I really hope Vernon Reid gets to see this.. Unbelievable cover... You guys just keep raising the bar.. awesome job.
Absolute shedding work on the guitar. Everyone as always - SPOT ON!!!
L.L.B. never disappoint !!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is definitely in "guitar hero" territory. In fact, it has conquered and subdued everything inside the borders of guitar hero territory, leaving only a devastated landscape of molten ears.
When I first saw the title of this video I thought maybe you guys had bitten off way more than you could chew but I was pleasantly surprised! You all did a great job. Randy, you were tearing that bass line up brother! The lead guitar was spot on as well. Nicely done LLB.
Wow guys!! It seems like every time it’s something new and unexpected. Dude is eating the strings off that guitar!!! Outstanding.
Excellent music... 👍🎶😎👏
There is NO better cover than this .... !!!
Bass player and lead are both like..."Is this all you got? Give us something more complex" lol Everybody nailed it spot on... AWESOME...
Excellent! The formula for LLB yields the best results!! Thank you all for what you do! You have no idea the impact you are making on people’s lives, including mine!
One of the great hard rock songs of all time - you did it justice
That was a grand slam, a hat trick and kickoff TD all rolled into one. WOW
MY GOSH!!! Are you kidding me? I never thought anybody would even attempt to cover this song, but nail it with on point precision? Outstanding performance!! How May times is the like button available?
All I can say is WOW! You guys always amaze me! The guitar work, especially the bass! Vocals......just WOW!
Just astonishing, who else could do a Living Color cover??? Dang...I'm a cult of LLB!
One of my favorites! Such an oddball guitar riff in that song. Of course that's no trouble for you. Everything about that song is insane! Killed it!
Musicianship out the ass. Exceptional. Every part of it.
That was better than Living Color! Wow, I had to watch it twice. Long live Lexington Lab Band so awesome
YES!! Fantastic! Saw Living Colour years ago in a small club in CT. They were awesome! Great job all! 👍🎸🥁
You guys nailed it, as evidenced by Jessica, jamming out the entire time in the background and having an absolute blast just listening between vocals.
Rock solid. Underrated band. Thanks for reminding me of their music!
