The guitarist, Vernon Reid, is one of the most underrated guitarists out there. I loved loved loved this band. They didnt get half the credit they deserved as artists.
rated top 10 guitarists of the decade by Guitar Player Magazine. But outside of those that know about guitar players, yeah you are right. Red Hot Chile Peppers were the death of many bands back then, these guys and Faith No More both got crushed by the peppers. "Book these bands and you will not book us" was just one of the things rumoured to have happened.
I was a big fan as a kid. But honestly, as a white kid from Vermont with a very limited world view, I didn't "get" half of their music. As an adult with a broader world view, I not only enjoy the music, but appreciate the message.
I was a heavy metal singer back when these guys popped on the scene. All of us 'white' musicians loved them. The industry must not have. They came with it and man, they blew us away!
yeah i was a metal head in the 80s. I remember how surprised we were to see some brothers that could totally kill it with this kinda of music. We were so happy and excited to see them representing like that. They weren't just a gimmick either - they legit kicked ass. But turn around is fair play, so we made sure to send the rap-world Vanilla Ice. I think we rockers won that deal! lol
I bet their record label had trouble promoting them back in the 80's for obvious reasons. I was lucky enough to see them live in Toronto when they opened for the Rolling Stones. Great performers, they should have had more recognition but they didn't fit the package the music industry was selling and that is a shame. Good for the reaction videos, it brings the past back to the forefront for a new generation of fans.
I was and still am a Metal and Rock head and when they came out we Fans just loved them because of the Music and the progressive Sound, although not every song was Rock/Metal, just a breath of Fresh air.. and btw. i think the record Industry loves every band that sells a lot of Albums no matter what Color Joe from Germany
Lead singer's name is Corey Glover, and if you've seen the 1986 hit movie "Platoon", you might recognize him as he played the character of Francis, who at the end of the movie told Charlie Sheen's character "we gonna get a high high!"
What you REALLY need to do is look up what a “cult of personality” is...hint he isn’t talking about his personality...and then go back and look at the lyrics. This song is very deep and so relevant right now in 2021!!!
if you really want to get into the weeds on the subject of personality cults check out some Jordan Peterson talks. Specifically his ones about Soviet Russia or the book Ordinary Men
@@whome6764 I am not hating on them at all...it takes some serious emotional strength to confront what EVERY human is capable of given the right conditions. Its why people shut down when politics comes up...people only have so much emotional endurance.
To help... A cult of personality, or cult of the leader, arises when a country's regime - or, more rarely, an individual - uses the techniques of mass media, propaganda, the big lie, spectacle, the arts, patriotism, and government-organized demonstrations and rallies to create an idealized, heroic, and worshipful image of a leader, often through unquestioning flattery and praise.
The cult of personality, people follow strong personalities, even when they lie and exploit them. All the people I this video were leaders who have a following, not based on what they teach but based on them. It's a Cult based on following a man. It's a think for yourself, don't be a follower, kind of song
Yes, "the cult of personality" is referring to the members of a cult who have chosen to follow someone that has used the media to spread their propogranda and deceive them. It is describing a bunch of people that fell for the lie. In this day and age, the cult of personality of the day would be Trumpsters. They bought all his lies, hook, line, and sinker. They think he is a great man that could do no wrong, no matter what he's actually done. They believed in the lie he sold to them via the media. It's an idea that's been around for a long time, but one that's been discussed using the phrase "the cult of personality" for just over 60 years now. The wikipedia article does a decent job of explaining it in more depth. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cult_of_personality
@@ClaytonMacleod while I can agree with the fact that Trump had a Cult of personality around him, I disagree with saying he used the media. They were 100% anti-Trump since the day he won in 2016 And they cried on national TV. Read the TIME magazine article on how the media, the tech industry billionaires, and politicians from both sides worked behind the scenes to make sure "The right outcome" happened. The article says "saved the election" but by saving it, they mean reported things one sided, ignored damaging facts that would have harmed Biden, changed voting laws, etc. The article isn't some right wing conspiracy, it's TIME magazine, and they view this manipulation of the public by the super rich and the media as something to be proud of. Also, from this video, a Cult of personality can be a very bad thing if the person uses the power to exploit the followers, but others in this video who had a Cult of personality that didn't are, Gandhi, JFK, MLK, and Malcom X, FD Roosevelt. In a article the singer said he was asking what "makes certain leaders, that are just human beings, have something else about them that makes people want to follow them. Barack Obama has this about him"
This song was so ahead of it's time. It came out in 1988 but it's what we're living now with how social media has taken over the world. Btw, Half you kinda lookin like that lead singer....
I rocked this band in highschool!! I have never understood why they weren’t even more popular at the time( although I have an idea) The guitarist, Vernon Reid, is absolutely one of the best!
Yeah, I have an idea too and it's too predictable. These guys were white they would have been top of the charts and it's just a sad, recurring commentary on America.
That song was about the neighborhood we lived in for 3 generations. We were all priced out except for an uncle with a rent controlled apt. Residents of the Lower East Side survived AIDS, crack & landlords burning buildings for the insurance but not greedy real estate developers. The next wave of development is going on now where luxury skyscrapers are going up next to public housing and the developers are litigating the soul & culture right out of the city.
I saw these guys live in the mid-90's at an outdoor festival. They were better than the headliners "The Black Crowes". The guitarist was freaking sick.
Yes! This banger! I love when people first hear it. Such a political song. When a leader speaks up that leader dies. Only we as a people can save ourselves. So true today as it was in my high school days when this song came out
@@LA-fz5qw Lucky! I would have loved to see them in concert! I loved their music. Corey's vocals are amazing and Vernon Reid is an underrated guitarist.
These guys were ahead of their time. In my opinion, this is my generation's "The Sound of Silence". The lyrics not only captured 1988, they predicted the times we live in now. Horribly underrated song and band.
This song came out in the late 80s... I dont remeber exactly what year, buy I remember watching this video repeatedly. I was in middle school back then. This group is severely underrated.
I remember the world premiere of this video on MTV back in 1988 (I was 21 yrs old). And yes, MTV played it on a constant loop it seemed, huh? But that was the case with just about every new big hit song that came out back then - LOL!
Saw them in 89 with the Stones. I was on the floor, pretty close, and the lead singer for Cult was singing and dissapeared suddenly. He fell off the front of the stage. Over two hundred concerts and I don't remember most, as I was usually pretty baked, but I do remember that one.
I saw them on the same tour. Steel Wheels tour. 1989-1990 school year, my first in college, was a good time. I saw: Rolling Stones Living Color Red Hot chili peppers Jane's Addiction Morris Day & the Time George Thorogood Joan Jett Stevie Ray Vaughan Yup. That was a pretty damn good year.
Y'all should revisit this song now. He basically was warning about following any personality that wants you to follow them blindly and conform. Leaders, presidents, celebrities, commercials, mainstream media, etc.
Oh I know y'all gonna love this before I even watch the reaction. Living Colour was the bomb back in my teen years. Love their music and their "commentary". If y'all haven't yet.....check out POD "Youth of a nation". Blessings my friends 💗🤯
its not about one's own personalities - it's about mind control/influence by talking heads that lead the blind and ignorant. They are the personalities that get a cult-like following and influence the viewers/listeners. "Only you can set you free" is the key phrase - meaning you can only break free of the rhetoric, lies, and manipulation of the machine by educating yourself and being a free-thinker. I love watching jai headbang. She is a legit rocker!!! love it. It's a shame this band didn't get more popularity cuz they were badass and their guitarist totally shreds. I remember when this song hit MTV. It was a jawdropping not only for the elephant in the room but because of how talented they were.
ZOINKS! Living Color ROCKS, Scooby! “Good Vibes my family”! The voice in the beginning is Malcom X btw! This song was politically and racially relevant when it came out and the song still applies today! Keep it coming! JFK is the voice in the solo, and FDR Is the voice at the end!
This is one of the first CDs I purchased. I had a thumping system, before they were commonplace, and this sounded so good. Vivid is a great album. These guys get after it.
One of my absolute favorite bands. Back in the early '90's (like, last century!), they were the warm up band for The Rolling Stones at RFK Stadium in D.C. I went for Living Colour, The Stones just happened to be there!! One of the best concerts I've experienced!!
The album was released during my sophomore year of high school, so 1988-89...and yeah, the lead guitarist is a highly respected musician, he's played on many studio albums released by some heavy hitters, he's an L.A. legend and an absolute beast...
I was 16 when this album came out in 1988 (which makes me . . .old), and it still gives me the chills at how good it is- the vocals, the ultra-tight rhythm section, the shredding guitar, the spot-on lyrics- everything. I actually saw them at the first Lollapalooza in 1991 (like i said, I'm old).
Hey, shout out to my new extended family! I just wanted to thank you two for this little reminder of some really good times during better days. My late wife and I used to jam out to this tune with the kids when Mtv played the video...back when they were about music. Thank you again for the memory. PEACE!!!!!
I'm lucky enough to have lived through music of 60s, 70s, 80,90, until now. Believe me music builds bridges for ALL to come together. I listened to these guys when they first appeared on the scene. Great video!
I hope you and yours are well and happy. Thank you for giving these absolute Legends another look . In every black is a hardcore metal head. . I love you all truly.
Ya’ll felt every bit of the song.. strong message within these lyrics. Food for the thoughtful and just noise to the thougtless. Keep em coming fam! 👊🏾🙏🏾💯
I really love your videos but what i love the most is Jai's laughter , at any given point im feeling down that laugh will brighten my day God bless u guys 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Oh wow! I've not heard anything from them in years! Their video was the shit, love this song.. if you grew up in the 80s and early 90s you'll know them❤❤
I saw this band on their first tour in Austin at Liberty Lunch when I was 16. It was so crowded, that at one point I picked up my feet - was just being moved back & forth. Great show.
Living Colour is a collection of great musicians who throw down on a concert stage! They have some gems: "Type", "Love Rears It's Ugly Head", "Middle Man".. My Vernon Reid avatar smiles every time someone reacts to this band!
First he says "Only you can set me free." Then he goes on to make no distinction between good and evil, or truth and lie. Then says "Only you can set you free." A simple but truthful and empowering message.
It's so sad to me that they didn't get an nth of the exposure that they should have!! This song is probably, the only song 90% of people, know by them. 😔 Anyone know what they're doing now days? 🤘
Man, I am sooo familiar with this song-one of the all time great rock songs! I clicked on this because it was a reaction to a song I know well,by people I didn't know. You guys... clearly love each other very much. What a great couple ! As a divorced man, I am so jealous! Lol. Needless to say , im subscribed

definitely underrated
Next Living Colour song is Open Letter To A Landlord
My favorite song by them👊🤟
I was going to suggest that & "Which way to America?" That song was ahead of its time.
That song was about the neighborhood we lived in for 3 generations. We were all priced out except for an uncle with a rent controlled apt. Residents of the Lower East Side survived AIDS, crack & landlords burning buildings for the insurance but not greedy real estate developers.

I gotta be the one mom. ‘In Living Color’ is the sketch-comedy show. ‘Living Colour’ is the band.
@@dr2926 lol. right! Yeah I liked the band.. NOT the same as the show..lol
They were on one of the Rolling Stones tour and I got to see them open and they were so good and so much more than just this song

Seen these guys twice. Awesome energy, infectious grooves, amazing musicianship. Maybe the most underrated band of the late 80s-early 90s.
"Desperate People" is a must!!
Thank you for giving these absolute legends some respect. One of my go to when I want to rock . They are awesome 😎
Thank you guys for doing these videos! You are a great joy to watch! Living Colour is a great band!
One of the most underrated guitar players during that era right there..
Saw them in 89 with the Stones. I was on the floor, pretty close, and the lead singer for Cult was singing and dissapeared suddenly. He fell off the front of the stage.
Over two hundred concerts and I don't remember most, as I was usually pretty baked, but I do remember that one.
I saw them on the same tour. Steel Wheels tour. 1989-1990 school year, my first in college, was a good time.
I saw:
Rolling Stones
Living Color
Red Hot chili peppers
Jane's Addiction
Morris Day & the Time
George Thorogood
Joan Jett
Stevie Ray Vaughan
Yup. That was a pretty damn good year.
I was at that show!!!
If you guys were born in the 80's, Your parents played this song a lot.
Y'all should revisit this song now. He basically was warning about following any personality that wants you to follow them blindly and conform. Leaders, presidents, celebrities, commercials, mainstream media, etc.
Love Living Colour! Vernon is one the most underrated guitarists of all time! The man is a musical genius in my opinion.
I just love the process of you guys discovering great music. Much love to you both from Redding.
One of the greatest underrated rock bands
Oh I know y'all gonna love this before I even watch the reaction. Living Colour was the bomb back in my teen years. Love their music and their "commentary". If y'all haven't yet.....check out POD "Youth of a nation". Blessings my friends 💗🤯
Living colours a great rock band with some great thought provoking songs🔥🎶🔥
As a music teacher, I have exposed as many kids as possible to this band! Their musicianship is legendary, and the points of their lyrics are real.
Living Colour always had such a great sound
Saw them at summerfest in 2005..been a fan since 1988 when i was 16..
My guy is "Living on a Prayer" and my girl is looking for Scoob.....love the shirts!!
Vernon Reid is a BAD MAN. 🎸🎸🎸

Thanks for all your great fun and vibes. 😊
I was 16 when this album came out in 1988 (which makes me . . .old), and it still gives me the chills at how good it is- the vocals, the ultra-tight rhythm section, the shredding guitar, the spot-on lyrics- everything.
I actually saw them at the first Lollapalooza in 1991 (like i said, I'm old).
Me too! I was 17... guess we are ‘old’... ha! It still gives me chills too! A truly timeless song! 🎶💜😻
You cant keep a great guitarist like 'burnin Vernon' down. They are still touring! The song is from 88. Memphis, they are coming in March ❤❤❤

They just started a tour last week, if they are coming to your town, please check them out!! Great Band
I hope you and yours are well and happy. Thank you for giving these absolute Legends another look . In every black is a hardcore metal head. . I love you all truly.
Still applies today! You gave me power in YOUR God's name. We got to take our power back. This song is STRONG!
I really like your reactions. They way you can goof on them and then change your mood and switch back. Real. Love from Taipei.
Saw them back in 1990. The are an unbelievably underrated band. Check their song "open letter to a landlord"
I love how the whole time you listen to this song, your heads never stop bouncing!
Man, I love watching you two have fun together in these videos.
I saw them live a couple of years ago in a little venue behind a pub near me. My God they are still so good. Absolutely flawless.
Ya’ll felt every bit of the song.. strong message within these lyrics. Food for the thoughtful and just noise to the thougtless. Keep em coming fam! 👊🏾🙏🏾💯
Love it when you laugh, the outfit is just for Jai.
That band was always criminally underrated! 🔥🔥🔥🤘🏻🤘🏻
Was crazy then and still is!💙💙🙌🏼🙌🏼
I really love your videos but what i love the most is Jai's laughter , at any given point im feeling down that laugh will brighten my day
God bless u guys 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Oh wow! I've not heard anything from them in years! Their video was the shit, love this song.. if you grew up in the 80s and early 90s you'll know them❤❤
Listen, when she said “mustard and ketchup”, I lost my shit!! Lmaoooooo!
Ketchup n Mustard... LOL... I wonder what's going to be in the Mail ;)
One hell of a History lesson...Powerful message! This song is so much more than badass guitar riffs.
I saw this band on their first tour in Austin at Liberty Lunch when I was 16. It was so crowded, that at one point I picked up my feet - was just being moved back & forth. Great show.
Great reaction. This was one of those songs if you were driving down the road you rolled your window down and turned the volume up
When A leader speaks, A leader dies!!! FACTS!!! Very deep song
Yes im so glad you doing this one!!!!!! Girl your hair is looking fire!!!
These guys kicked ass!!! I'm glad you found them. I wish they made more music!!
This joint is timeless y'all! Love the channel, keep it the eff up mayne!!!
Living Colour is a collection of great musicians who throw down on a concert stage! They have some gems: "Type", "Love Rears It's Ugly Head", "Middle Man".. My Vernon Reid avatar smiles every time someone reacts to this band!
What a lesson on how people show you what they want you to see, so that they can gain power!
I saw them live and they blew the club away! 💜
You guys are great I smile everytime I see you dropped a new video thanks for making my day God bless you guys love from Michigan
First he says "Only you can set me free." Then he goes on to make no distinction between good and evil, or truth and lie. Then says "Only you can set you free." A simple but truthful and empowering message.
I had this album on vinyl in the 80's! Great reaction!
Both of you ( but really her) are very cool cats. I am real pleased and entertained by your channel. I am also happy to be subscribed.
When a leader speaks that leader dies...SO DAMN TRUE!!! Crazy good song and video
When They Came Out With This Song! Blew My Mind! My Favorites! Beat And Words And Voice
Glad you found these guys. My cheap ass car stereo first year in college could jam this song! So good.
I love your guys energy. 🤘 41 years old . This came out when I was 8. Still love it like it was 33 years ago
The singer Corey Glover was in the war movie "Platoon"
It's so sad to me that they didn't get an nth of the exposure that they should have!!
This song is probably, the only song 90% of people, know by them. 😔
Anyone know what they're doing now days? 🤘
"Middle man" my favorite track off this album! Funky.
Clearly can't say enough about their unsung awesomeness! Don't judge a book by it's cover ♡ simple forgotten truth... look at all that we miss...
Their song 'Open Letter (To A Landlord)' is an amazing song that will give you powerful feelings. Love watching you guys

Great choice. One of the all time great black alternative rock bands.

Man, I am sooo familiar with this song-one of the all time great rock songs! I clicked on this because it was a reaction to a song I know well,by people I didn't know. You guys... clearly love each other very much. What a great couple ! As a divorced man, I am so jealous! Lol. Needless to say , im subscribed
Both of you have great personalities and bounce off each other well.
