    Vernon is one of those innovative guitarists. He plays from his heart and not so much from his head.

    the most under-rated band of all time? Vernon Reid the modern day version of jimi hendrix. Doug Wimbish who is in his own area code in bass playing. Corey Glover who goes from motown r&b crooner to a heavy metal screamer in a heartbeat, and the eight wonder of the world Will calhoun. yeah this is the greatest band from the past 25 years in rock.

      A fucking men! Especially regarding Vernon and Corey. His Heavy Metal screams are fucking monolithic. He's better than most metal singers, to the point where his run of Painkiller with Judas Priestess blew the Metal God out of the water

      @@StaticYonder Corey's Vocals are better today then when they started. Name another singer who's voice has aged and got deeper and more bad ass. Dio is the closest I can think of, or Mike Patton today.

    Cory can do what ever he wants with a voice like that.. he is equally at home in the blues or Jazz, soul... perhaps one of the finest male voices out there.

    Wonder what Jimmy Hendrix would say about this band about Mr Vernon Ried who simply owns his guitar solo work I'll stay on topic but I can't help give a mention of The Time with amazing guitar work from Jesse Johnson . Fishbone and more. Living Colour is still going strong,and still sounding good.
