Did you know.........

Corey Glover, the lead vocals of Living Colour, is now on broadway and plays Judas in the musical Jesus Christ Superstar.

I saw it this summer. He was great.

Supposedly it's an updated version of the song by Living Colour on GH3, but to me it sounds like it's the original with Vernon Reid redoing some of the guitar stuff and the lead. I liked the old solo better than the one he did on the updated version.

Yes, he was.

I've seen them live twice (once at Lollapalooza '91 and once on their own) and they were outstanding. Glover sounded almost exactly like he does on the cd's.

Thanks for reminding me about these guys. It's been far too long since I gave them a listen.

love the quote from the lead singer of Anthrax

"If these guys were white, they would have sold 10 million albums"

Vernon Reid is an unbelievable guitarist. I know they had a reunion tour a few years back. Good band. "Time's Up" is a pretty decent disc as well.

Good call youngster!

I'd be surprised if there is anybody that doesn't appreciate that.

Great song,

I swear that song is on a video game as well, maybe GTA San Andreas. I know I have heard it off of a video game or a movie in the last couple weeks, just not sure where.
