So, I used to think Living Colour was the greatest rock band my young eyes had ever seen. Their records were perfect. Their musicianship: flawless. Then they broke up. My world was rocked. Well, no. When they broke up, my world was rock-less. Their absence left the door wide open, and oh, look what the crap dragged in: Limp Bizkit, Staind, Creed. Countless radio-friendly, MTV-angsty bands armed to the teeth with distortion pedals and dear-diary lyrics.
Lo and behold, many formative years later, Living Colour returns. A quiet little tour, in support of an album that won\'t be out until September. And the question is once again posed: Are they the greatest rock band my young eyes have ever seen? No. They\'re more. Because apparently, they can time travel.
Wayne said it best: these guys play like they\'re as young as they were when they started. It\'s as if they haven\'t missed a beat, and nature has yet to take its course-- Corey Glover belting and bouncing all over the stage; Vernon Reid playing the fuck out of a six-string as if it allows him access to spiritual and orgasmic nirvana; Doug Wimbish slap-popping the low end theory over William Calhoun\'s manic drum pummeling. It\'s seriously amazing.
And saddening, that these guys aren\'t selling out stadiums and swamping the airwaves, while shit like Stinkin Park and Blink-180-Poo are.
Search high and low, come September 22, for their new album, out on Sanctuary Records. The new stuff is worth it.
