Living Colour - Open Letter (To A Landlord) [live]

[@benie575]

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.

[@StaticYonder]

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

[@chuckenmcnuggets4464]

I don’t know man they could be the most underrated but out of Janes addiction, extreme, Mudhoney, Stone roses

[@benie575]

@@chuckenmcnuggets4464 Do any of those bands have a song that is more revolent 34 years after it's release then what Living Colour has with Cult of Personality?

[@benie575]

@@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.

[@justincase7937]

underrated for their time, but this shows they haven't stood the test of time. this sounds like shit, good song or not.

[@JohnBenson-t2p]

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

[@Parrish_Muhoberac]

I think the term "underated" I see so much doesn't even do them justice. I think "under-noticed" is better? All elements of their musical messages aren't heard enough", but ai tell you, these guys taught me how to truly play each instruments as a teen and are a huge part of my musical profession. Brilliant. And their newest album "SHADE" is just awesome

[@peekaboo4390]

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.

[@skepchica]

It's crazy how his voice actually got better with age.

[@frankgala4570]

Living Colour don't need to prove or show anything to anyone, just be themselves and that's more than anyone can wish for. These guys deserve a place in music history!!!

[@LevonGagne]

Corey Glover putting out the soul!!

[@JamesM1868]

Such an incredible band. In terms of musicianship, vocals, songwriting ability, I put them up there with any of the greats. I’ve long admired them, and still do.

[@equationalmc9862]

Most especially *for that time* they owned their own hard rock lane that they themselves carved out. A soulful, funky uptempo groove with amazing vocals and killer one of the best ever lead guitar.

[@OurRawHeart]

That's about as LIVE as you can get!! When they're gone maybe the rest of the world will miss em. Vernon has carried Jimi's spirit more than anyone else...,and Jimi hasn't a patch on him!! " Sing it Corey!". Love from Ireland.

[@SantiResnikTombetta]

Living Colour as Extreme are two of the most greatest bands of all time, and both the same level of under-ratedness

[@RumTumJPM]

Hope you get to see them together this summer! (Living Colour is opening for Extreme!)

[@rodrigodrummond457]

Great song Great band Amazing Living Colour

[@codjh9]

Even more powerful live.

[@Rob-eo5ql]

One of the greatest songs I’ve ever heard

[@richardgarrett5322]

Song always brings a tear to my eye. Never saw this video before. It's great.

[@dennisbergen7657]

These guys rock!.. great band 🤘❤️

[@BarekHalfhand]

Great, now this song is inexorably stuck in my head for the next few days ...

[@blangfrd]

That voice. My God, that voice.

[@equationalmc9862]

Power. Control. Grit. Presence. Delicateness. FEELING.

[@steveponder4842]

This band has so much talent in it, bass guitar drummer and singer!! Total package!!!!

[@naturadventur7425]

What a great song, great lyrics, so much emotion, music at it's best.

[@bagpiper1969]

Packed like a suitcase.....tons of colors in this tune. Friggin awesome !

[@johnkrolczyk2241]

THis band had a metal groove that scared the shit out of all the white metal bands of the 1980's/90's.

[@cfx5000]

An amazing band. I hope I get to see them live before I die.

[@WingTipAerialFilming]

These guys are just so cool.

[@schwaahly]

should of been one of the greatest bands ever so sad they didnt reach the highs they should of

[@majfauxpas]

I LOVE this song. It happened in my town too….

[@diek00]

He can certainly belt out the tunes! What a range.

[@saulmartinez4554]

THE BEST BAND OF ALL TÌMES !!!

[@ShredReviews]

First LC track I ever heard, first chord progression I can remember and still an utter classic.

[@phillipsantana2633]

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.

[@CaliforniaAfrican]

Yes, sing it Mr. Glover!!

[@josephconder9074]

Saw them live in Rochester, NY in 1991. Great band.

[@gilbertocruz1683]

These guys were matchless in rock since the very first day...they were just too much musical for the scene...they raised a lot of envy...that's why the industry killed their career...they would have been much bigger

[@LevonGagne]

Like the volume swells!

[@lowellnickell5726]

I love that black people have come to show they break down barriers and stand strong through it all even through their voices and music.God bless them.I love Living Color

.... Vernon Reid... Is the Shit.. 👊.... Sorry just my love for this band, which everyone thought they were Underated... Sound track of my life... #blessed....

[@equationalmc9862]

They played wynonas big brown beaver by primus a little in the solo haha. This is an unbelievable version of a slice of Vivid. That whole album needs to be taken in to understand the brilliance they had. I think Time's Up is even better.

[@joseunno]

Joder estos tios son la ostia. Cuanto mas los escucho mas me gustan.

[@ivanmalanquini625]

5:03 the bass went down to the lowest notes possible. Amazing...

This makes me miss 24-7 Spyz...

[@cfx5000]

The bass at 5:03. Really man?

[@spamwagon]

God, these guys are so good. I've always hard a hard time following Vernon's 64th note leads, but that's me. Check Corey at 4:55 channeling Prince. This guys are as good as it gets. As good as it gets. Corey- let your hair grow bro, you are way more handsome than Cee Lo...
