I've been a fan from the start, seen them about ten times across their career and they never disappoint. I still remember first hearing them on a AM metal station early on, I couldn't find their album yet but when I did, I was completely blown away. Who covers the Talking Heads? Nobody mainstream was rapping and using melody yet. Will had a drum kit back in the day called the "Pyramid of Doom" my friends and I still look back at fondly. As a guitar player, I've learned a lot from Vernon, his chord progressions are unique in a time when some say they can play anything using four chords, not a Living Colour song. It's rare when every member of the band is a beast, shout out to Muzz too. Last time I saw them, they had a meet and greet afterward that really hit home with me because I'm such a super fan, just a really cool gesture.
Same here, I saw the video for Cult of Personality late one night on MTV. That Friday was payday and I was in my local independent record shop, kinda my hangout. The owner came over and asked what I was looking for and he didn’t have a few of the albums I wanted at the time like the latest Judas Priest. He went over to next row and pulled out a copy of “Vivid” and said “Have you heard of these guys? They’re kinda Hendrixy” was the way he described them. “Ya,man, I saw the video just this week”. He said to just take this one on the house and knowing the kind of music I was into, that I would dig it. I immediately copied it to cassette and played it in my car to work and back the whole week. Then got to see them in a bar/club in Long Beach CA a few months later. Corey was sporting his Body Glove shorty Also got to see them at the LA Coliseum when they opened for The Rolling Stones and Guns N Roses. Still got the shirt. 😅 good times!
Please place this great band into the rock and roll hall of fame!
Damn, they sound better live now then back in the 90’s! Very rare to achieve that!❤
