Vernon Reid is nothing short of spectacular on lead guitar in this song. Just unreal talent.

[@cerebralfailure8804]

he is amazing but I still prefer the playing of Rocky George who has played with Suicidal, Fishbone and the CroMags, he also played with Pap Smear which was the punk band Jeff Hanneman and Dave Lombardo were in pre Slayer

[@christopherhammond3664]

Hell of a fucking nice guy, too. 😎

Vernon murdered this song like his life depended on it. Probably hella raw too. If so then can only imagine the credit he deserves to being an insane guitarust

As a white boy who has played in bands all his life I can tell you it was the coolest thing in the world to see an all black rock band back in the day.

[@christianman73]

Living Colour are great, but there are many other all black rock bands. Fishbone, 24/7 Spyz, Bad Brains, Body Count, Death (the group from the '70s, not the more recent one called Death), Band of Gypsies, and more.

[@neillenet291]

@@christianman73 true, but Living Colour was the first all black rock band that broke big. Body Count was 2 years after L.C.

[@christianman73]

@@neillenet291 That's true, as far as being on commericial radio and MTV day and night, *but* if we only measured music by the bands that "break big," then so many great bands would be lost and forgotten. Living Colour, themselves, would be the *first ones* to say that it was earlier all-black rock bands like Jimi Hendrix's Band of Gypsies, and Bad Brains, and Fishbone, that helped to pave the way for LC. Of course, without the blues, which was created by black people, there would be no rock and roll, because blues and country were the foundations for rock in the '50s, and many of the earliest rock musicisna and songwriters were black, such as Chuck Berry and Little Richard. It always surprises me when some people (whether white or black) are *actually surprised* to see black people playing rock, because black people *largely created* rock and roll in its beginnings! :-)

The solo.....god damn the solo.......brings me to my knees and gives me goosebumps.....it did it in 1989 and its done it EVERY time I've heard it since. Vernon Reid is a GOD. This track is on my short list of songs that are MUST HAVES on my playlist......

[@bobschenkel7921]

Had the good fortune to meet lead singer of Living Color, Corey Glover, about six months after seeing them open for The Rolling Stones in 1989 at the now demolished Vet in Philly. Living Color blew The Stones off the stage, ask anyone who was there, hey some nights, The Stones just don't click, but Living Color did. Mr. Glover was a true gentleman and would not take the compliment from me when I said they were better than The Stones, just a humble dude out in the world. I admire Living Color, they just go, with style.

[@cletusbeauregard1972]

I saw that tour in Detroit. Stones were fire that night...and LC STILL blew them off the stage.

[@peterjackson6011]

Lifetime metalhead here. And I am here to say that in this song, Vernon Reid performs the greatest guitar solo in rock and roll history. Much love, have a good day.

[@Budini67]

Living Colour was way ahead of their time in music. This song is full of truth that fits everything going on today too. "When a leader speaks the reflection lies" ?

[@josephD32]

Ok, so. The first verse, it's "When a mirror speaks, the reflection lies." The second verse, it's "When a leader speaks, that leader dies." Also, a subtle change that is hard to catch, but: The first verse, it's "Only you can set me free." The second verse, it's "Only you can set you free."

[@mabelyourmama9029]

The two guitar solos that dude did were... just no words... gave me chills!

[@daddynitro199]

Living Colour covered “Who Shot Ya” a couple years back, and it gives me chills.

[@gvehar]

Living Colour founded the Black Rock Coalition back in the day. Other bands were 24-7 Spyz and Follow For Now ( I still have their single Evil Wheel). Fishbone and Bad Brains were around before that but fit right in and were just as vital at that time.

[@ravenlord7144]

One of the best bands to come out that era. The talent is amazing!

[@todd3458]

They did a reunion tour a few years back and got to see them live one last time. They've only gotten better. They burned the whole place down!!!

[@endoraismygma]

They were FIRE back in the day. Socially conscious and so freaken talented. By too far underrated and their message is still relevant. Check out some interviews with their guitar player Vernon. Such an intelligent musician and kind too. Great reaction!

You should watch the official video for "love rears its ugly head" by Living Colour right away! You Def won't regret it!!!

Jimi Hendrix playing "Hey Joe" at the Monterey festival in 1968, played the guitar with his teeth and behind his head is fire fire.

What I love about Jimi is him teaching himself to play guitar upside down because he was left handed and guitars were for right handed folks

Dude the lyrics to cult of personality is what's going on now the collective mindset that's ruling trying to rule America right now is the cult of personality. And the only way we can be free is set ourselves free thinkers free spirits not bow down to these couldn't hold the personality people in charge of society. ❤️❤️❤️🤘😎

Vernon Reid is so underrated. Dude could shred with the best. The entire band deserved a hella lot more credit.

[@rickhowton3242]

Absolutely awesome group. So good they opened for guns and roses. I saw them several times in person. As good as any group out there. Vernon could have played with most bands and they would not have missed a beat. Fabulous talent.

Yeah man, Vernon Reid... one of the most underrated guitarists on the planet! Every guitar player (including me) has tried to learn that main riff. Its impossible. Vernon's talent is just sheer wizardry!

[@marymckinney4472]

This song should be popular today. It says alot about news, propanda, govt. "I exploit you, still you love me. I tell you 1 and 1 makes 3."

Definitely should check out the Bad Brains "I Against I" or "Rise" you won't be disappointed

Living Colour’s version of Memories Can’t Wait is another banger off of the same album. You’d like that one. Open Letter to a Landlord is also fire,but in a different way.

[@RonRezendes]

A timeless classic that will never grow old! The guitar solo made a list of the top 25 all time guitar solos, someone help me with the source, please. Now, Love Rears It's Ugly Head needs to be next from them, then Letter to a Landlord, followed by everything else!

The singer is Cory Glover, he was in Platoon!

[@Tuesdays_Gone]

This was all over the radio in 1990. They were so good.

[@FloridaRocks]

Corey was a soldier in the movie Platoon. I watched a reunion they had talkin bout a bar they'd go to to unwind and the first nite a local band played, until Corey and Johnny Depp got on stage, between all the actors were many musicians. They played together every nite after but, as they lost people in the movie, their numbers dwindled. One guy said he'd give anything to get those nights back.

Saw these guys in concert when I was young in Orlando Florida. It was AMAZING! Visage was the club they played.

[@Gen_X_Rosey]

You know, I'm in my 40s, so I've known about this band since they were new. When I was coming up, people around my age wouldn't listen to metal. Would not give it a chance because it wasn't what they were into. What I love about today is more black people are willing to give it a try and they do it on camera. More black folks are seein' what I saw all those years ago, and I love it so much. Thank you!
