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.

Great lyrics. Great vocals, melodic bass, shredding guitar...Great band. Alien monster playing drums from another planet. This song is my happy place.

opened for the Stones Steel Wheels tour. Made it to Minneapolis. Went there to see Living Colour as much as I was there for the Stones. What a night and weekend.

It is the year 2017 and i get to see these guys play for free tomorrow. I am 40, and have loved these guys since I was probably 10 years old. I can't even tell you how excited I am

Tough Band , I wish my fellow Black American brothers and sisters would listen to good music that's not Status Quo Radio at the time ! as George Clinton said ," Think It's Not Illegal Yet" !!!

DITTO on Mario Valente's comment: "Rhythm section that will dropkick your ass to fucking Mars"

some of the best guitar playing of any band ever

30 years later and VIVID is still one of my all time favorite albums

Such an amazing band and really nice guys as well. It was a pleasure meeting them after a gig in Birmingham many moons back..

One of the first self taught songs I learnt. Bought this on release and loved it! Saw them in 1990 too.

One of the Greatest HARD ROCK bands that came out of the 80's & 90's ! These guys sound as good and as fresh as they did 30 years ago!

I love this song! Used to listen to it all the time on cassette!

I remember in '83ish, these guys and th cranberries were the first live bands on MTV. Ya, I dropped my fork... Rock on guys!

Living colour was soooooo way far advanced for their time. Their music is great, even nowadays, you can still feel that the music they´ve made can be compared with music from the present.

I discovered that a little while ago and i affirm: this is one of the best bands of every time!

I remember thinking their sound was so exclusively raw. Today I find it almost polished. 🤔

That drum fill at 140 is absolutely a ground breaking fill at the time and it still is the ÷&$*# today! Mr Calhoun!

What a band and when you see them live like I did a couple years ago, everybody excels but man oh man that drummer.

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.

that voice damn !!!!!

the best album of that decade ,still holds the mojo .

Fantastic tune love it 🔥🤟🏻😎❤️

In those years, the bassist was Muzz Skillings, and Living Colour was making music.

No need to call names. The band Is what WE like . Lovin it.

Just now discovered this genius band. Lead man is totally gorgeous and amazing and rocks the truth! Can't get enough now. All band members fantastic

The Golden era of funkometal!

O show mais pesado e detonante que eu fui na minha vida! Volume 11/10🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊

William Calhoun is beyond amazing!

Absolutely love Living Color Rock on

I bought this album this was my favorite of the vivid album .

at least 3 great albums...worth a listen.

I saw them open for the Stones. Great, hard rocking band. It's a joke that they are not in the Rock Hall of Fame.

music with 80s soul rushing dynamic shifts.. a time machine

i have this lp on tape when i traveled around the world for 1 year.....was in 94.....much memories.....

Still relevant 28 years later.

Gah!! I would love to see these guys live! They're 1 ov my last 4 on my "to see live" list.......keep rocking Living Colour \,,/

These guys are awesome

This song has the toughest and coolest riff going on.

This song make you sweat...Pure power

that eargasmic riff

This is blues/funk that I like.

amazing band

Funk Yeah 🤘

This song rocks so hard!!!!!!!! Awesome!!!!!!!!

I’ve got this live from 2/29/24 Vegas baby 🤟😎

This is a show i remember long ago. They showed reruns of it, but thier hit song was cult of personality. Good songs from these guys!

Will "The Big Boom" Calhoun...BAD-ASS...

Gonna see them in two days!!!

When I played this album I had nothing to follow it with so I played it again and again .

Love me some LC. I saw Cult of Personality on MT2 when I was a teenager (only about 10 years ago) and I was hooked. I got to see them live cause they'd gotten back together. Awesome band.

Funk Rock at its best!!!

Love them and 24/7 spyz. And I’m a white guy that’s 61. People. Killer music is killer music. THEY ROCK!

Glamour Boys, is not my favorite song ever

"I'm just a stranger in a strange land", it sounds like the life we're all going through at the minute with all the changes and breakdowns that are going on in our societies. Never has a truer phrase been spoken huh?.

@Chuichupachichi My favorite is the ride cymbal and hi-hat work during the chorus and bridge. Ever since I heard that type of stuff, I've been using it my own drum work. The whole band is just so damn talented.

Amazing!

Reid and Van Halen have one thing in common. Starting out in their respective recording careers, they waited until their second singles to showcase their signature fretboard skills -- "Cult of Personality" and "Eruption".

The best! From Vivid, to Time's Up, to Stain... I could go on. They just get better and better. Check out their latest album - Shade.

I would love to see Vernon Reid and Jesse Johnson (the time) do a twin guitar song. Back in 1988, they were really bringing kick ass guitar to funky songs.

Awesome Rock Band!!

Una increíble y excelente banda de afroamericanos, que jamás pasará al olvido. Tocaron en Chile en 1994. =)

that's what I call - high quality music for ppl with ears!

Just really good, straight up Rock n Roll. This song shows off the rhythm section & with Vernon Reid's bad ass riff & guitar work, its still one of the coolest Rock songs ever. Of course, you can never go wrong with Black vocals

Cult of Personality was a more well known song but this one was always my favorite by them

It's funny, I had this on the turntable just a couple days ago after hearing that Calhoun had walked-in off the street and donated $650 to WBAI during their pledge drive. One of the best jams in the entire Living Coulour catalog.

Vernon Reid on that whammy bar -- WOW!

Their best song by a mile

Living Colour Telling it Like is Just the isley Brothers Brothers johnson band

Awesome tune.

Kick ass

Deadly song still awesome like I remember it

Happy Birthday, Corey!
