Living Color

Man. I haven't listened to these guys in years. I think I'm scared it'll sound dated or something.

Not colour?

One of my various terrible high school bands did a terrible cover of Cult of Personality. Fuck I wish I had a terrible recording, I reckon I could press it up as a 7'' and sell 150 copies.

is it racist to say they were shit?

Bad ass!

they weren't shit. they were great. I have a living colour record.

everybody loves you when you're bi

I've always respected the work of the Wayans brothers.

saw 'em play in 93 at festical hall, awesome show. corey glover did a full crowd surf, vernon reid shreded and killed and wimbish made lots of booming kinda spooky bass noises. a musos crowd, luckily there was no yellow and purple performance suits to speak of.

haha that's what i thought this thread was about. i was going to pipe in and say how we used to make our yr 10 social studies teacher watch our home taped videos of the 3am broadcasts

That show was called 'IN living color' not Living Color. I wish I had hair that could be sculpted into a flat top.

haha i know that but i just assumed the subject was mistyped (wouldn't be the first time on m+n)

got to support them :-)

i heard ''cult of personality'' the other day. boy did it sound terrible. scatterbrain anyone?

I'm listening to it now. It's pretty amazing.

I'd like them better with a u in their name.

hey dude don't call me dude is still a great song rigid

also saw them on the 93 tour at the horden.

the drummer was playing in some kinda lyrcra body / wresting suit. funny stuff.

I like 'Cult of Personality', and rate Vernon Reid's riffage pretty highly. I rate their fashion sense super highly also - they were striking, yes. Their ballads, and singles like 'Bi' and 'Love Rears Its Ugly Head' (or whatever the hell it was called) stunk like shit.

Like Mussolini and Kennedy!

they just don't make videos so sensual anymore

Best mate has this old VHS tape that is basically 'The Story of Living Color' - actually covers some wonderful ground, including the fact that Corey Glover was a hair colour consultant (I believe that is the job title he specifies) for Clairol prior to his involvement with the group, and also appeared very prominently in an ad for the US Military (presumably this was before he showed up in Platoon).

He is not on platoon is he?

yep... as Private Francis

Nah I think they were ordinary. Thought they were ok at the time but has dated big time. Also you gotta hold Vernon Reid partly responsible for all that shit blues funk James Blood Ulmer put out

why do you hold vernon reid responsible - James Blood Ulmer was putting out records in the late 70s, well before Vernon Reid.

Wouldn't you be holding JBU (whom I really like) responsible for Vernon Reid's output?

time's up!

He influenced him on all those collaborations later on is what I'm talking about.

JBU had his 70s free style which was sweet and ever since he came into contact with Veron his records were pretty shit and his playing style and output became influenced by what Vernon was doing. This is how I see it anyway.
