If Hendrix and Hetfield and Vernon Reid auditioned for a band I was starting I would pick Reid. Living Colour kicked ass and unfortunately was undervalued. They are most famous for "Cult Of Personality".

Anyone remember the band Living Colour?
|
Hah! Now there is a band I have not listened to in a long, long time. While Reid is a good player, there is something that I didn't like about his style. I think he is values crazy fast shredding to highly.
Anyway, this is him playing with my favourite guitarist of all time, Mr Buddy Guy. Although, bear in mind that this is from a documentary, so there is speaking in the middle. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GfPgTo-vAAM Cunt

And even without solos you had the speed of the Ramones. Reid smokes most guitarists no matter the meme of the music.
I pointed out the fast shredding, because it isn't difficult to do. Or at least the way he does it it isn't. Although, this is only based on what I have heard of his. I am not that well versed in his work, but from what I have heard, he just does it too often for me to enjoy it much.

What? You really think what Reid did was easy? Seriously I do not know what you are smoking.

It is easy for me. Although, I really don't like talking about my ability as a musician. Don't know why... I just don't. And I haven't smoked any weed in 3 days... that is a long time. Cunt

I saw them live somewhere around '89, '90... I was such a baby, but I still think they're sorely underrated, unlike some of the other shit I listened to back then.
