@idigcars I get to see them on July 20th here in NY at the same place I same them play on their way to record Stain. this is going to be a great show for sure.
mr. benharperfan21 - you are absolutely correct about the true meaning of "the real LIVING COLOUR FAN". i've been a fan since the late 80's. although, the group is "clueless" to this current generation. music now is fabricated toward the masses to sell a "product" not the music. Living Colour has continued to put out music under their terms... not towards the masses. REAL MUSIC = REAL FANS. i just wish the group or Corey would tour in the Mid-West again. (Chicago) hint hint.
Living Coloür has done it again. They consistently make music that moves me or even challenges me to think. Awesome album guys, amazing lyrics...
That said, the backing vocals went from serviceable to unbearable in the recording. Hey, I'm not knocking the band, just pointing out a flaw every LC fan knows about. It's always been a weak point.
its just good to see them performing again!! i saw them twice in england in '94 and they blew me away, but i was a fan back at the beginning in '88. those guys and fishbone destroyed all i had previously portrayed metal/rock! their music gave me a lot of influences kepp on keepin on vernon!!
I know Doug Wimbash personally and he's the consumate professional. He's played with the Rolling Stones, Paula Cole, and countless others. Just a "funk bassist" is hardly the word i'd use. Living Colour broke up for quite a few years and is now making the music they want to. Record sales reflect for the most part what 12 - 15 year old girls buy. Real Living Colour fans know, and real music fans know the real deal. Music sales don't mean a goddamn thing.
I agree! Mister Wimbish is one of my bass playing idols, I love his style. I've seen a few shows and had trouble keeping up which pedals he used (busy dancing, haha!), there were so many! His voice is pleasant as well.
@benharperfan2 I agree. You can sell all the records you want, but will it matter in the long run if your music is absolute shit? LC is one of my favorite bands of all time because they don't try to sound like everyone else and they do their own thing on their own terms. The Chair In the Doorway is one of the best CDs I've listened to in years. I love the hidden track at the end. The first time I heard it, I did a bigtime spit take.
@benharperfan2 I love the work Doug did with Joe Satriani as well. You're absolutely correct-music sales don't mean shit. It's about quality, not how many platinum records you sell. Punks like Justin Bieber need to realize that.
I wonder why is it that generally bass players are like the coolest friendlyst people, I have noticed whenever I met bands it's usually the bass player seems the nicest. I'm sure all the guys are cool just something I noticed :)
@benharperfan2 I've heard Doug Wimbish playing with Joe Satriani and he is an amazing bass player. It is too bad that bands like LC, KingsX and others don't get their due, but we real fans know exactly what these bands are about and they are the ones we will support regardless. Well done!
They lost one of their guitar players didn't they and got a new one? The guy in the purple plaid isn't the same one in the late 80s and early 90s is he?
Yes: they replaced their previous bassist, Kevin "Muzz" Skillings, with this present player, Doug Wimbish. Wimbish has been with the band since the "Stain" disc.
This album is an incredible journey of honest expressionism, free thinking, and tight-knit, talent-laden, theory-study and human openess. It is a great creation!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
As a musician myself its all about chemistry and the old Living Colour had that special something. When Muzz left that special mix had gone. As i said before Doug is a good bass player but he doesnt fit the band........just look at the albums and the sales of the albums......all the albums pre Doug were good and successful, but with him they have made poor records that havent sold many copies.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Wish the band realised that they would be back to the dizzy heights of success if they had the original bassist Muzz back in the band. Give Doug his dues for keeping the band going and producing lots of their music but he doesnt fit their sound as a bass player. At their best they were a rock guitarist with a funk bassist, now they are a rock guitarist with a rock bassist.......simple as that. So while Doug is in the band they will never be big again
Maybe so, but it seems that they want to play more laid back music nowadays anyway.
Im quite new to LC
What has doug done before this? He should be able to play the older stuff too in order to be in the band. Right? Anyway. Think Vivid is better than "the chair"...
That's ridiculous. Wimbish got his start playing with Sugarhill Gang and Grandmaster Flash (He played that classic bassline on "White Lines") and is one of the most accomplished bass players out there. He's every bit the "funk" bassist that Muzz was, and then some.
Apparently you have no idea who exactly Doug Wimbish is as a player. A "rock" bassist? You have got to be fucking kidding me. Look up...well, numerous things...but start with "Living Colour - Love rears it's ugly head [ live @ Jo Soares]. That would be Doug playing a thick jazz groove on an upright bass. Doug is way more of a Jazz/fusion/funk player than you will ever know. Rock bassist? You have to be fucking retarded.
fucking retarded!?.......whatever you cock!........put Muzz next to Doug both playing and then tell me who is the more funky player and who is more suited to Living Colour. Really pisses me off as a musician when people who arent Living Colour fans and who know nothing about music comment on pages....mega troll jock!
if you can, go see them live. you are guaranteed an incredible night. the whole band allowed pictures w/ fans, meet & greet & autographs to everyone after the show. very gracious. go to a show & buy the album so they want to do it again!
I'm sure it's because they are in a radio studio. It's unusuall for a band to play in this situation, they play really quiet, and the tempo is slow. All this has affected their performance.
My boys are back! One of the best bands out there indeed! Welcome back Living Colour!!!! Hope someone uploads the Jimmy Fallon Show version of this, i had an equipment malfunction & taped nothing but blue screen!
When did Tim Meadows start playing bass with these guys??? This is a great tune. I really dig this band. How does the guitar player sing backup while playing that riff (flawless during the entire song). Also, listen to the drums closely between :14-18 and hear the little change he puts on the beat on the cymbal -- it's awesome!
Who is Tim Meadows? It's Doug Wimbish on bass (he's in the band since they recorded "Stain" or even before), and I think it's Doug singing backup vocals.
That delicate detail from Will between :14-18 on the Hi-Hat is really nice, but it isn't so awesome. It's just a double stroke combination. He did it faster on "Funny Vibe" a long time ago.
Anyone know what guitar Vernon's playing these days? I loved those rainbow ESP's he used to play back in the 90's. I've never seen one like this before. Looks somewhat like a Parker, but I'm not sure.
Oh, and I still can't get used to Corey without the braids...
Corey sounds better with age. and vernon still shreds with the best. Doug and will are in their own league. They are the best and most diverse rock band today. Their new album is outstanding. Best of the year so far.
