Too bad they rarely matched that songs level of intensity in their future records. Looking back, they really can be considered a one hit wonder.

No way. Living Colour was a terrific band that was doing things far ahead of their time. They were essentially a jazz-metal fusion band, which is just as crazy as it sounds. The real surprise is that they ever had a hit with a sound that was so out there and distinct.
But they never lost the intensity. I actually think Stain is their best album, as they just went whole hog into more challenging waters. The audience just couldn't (or wouldn't) keep up.
And they still had other hits on Vivid like Glamour Boys, Funny Vibe, and Open Letter to a Landlord. Their run was short, but it was impeccable. Probably the last hard rock act I ever gave a crap about.

Yes the last 3-4 times I saw them they did that song.

I strongly suggest you go buy Time's Up. Very, very ahead of its time. I still say it's one of the best records of the 90's.

I could keep up just fine, but the songwriting wasn't the same quality on Stain. And for me, Time's Up was the album which really went into so many different territories - think about the title track, Love Rears, Information Overload, Elvis Is Dead, Solace Of You, Undercover Of Darkness, etc.
Vernon Reid's intro to the song "Fight The Fight" is still one of my favorite pieces of music ever.

That's the first thing that popped into my head when I saw this thread.

I bought Time's Up when it came out.
When I say "looking back, they were a one hit wonder" it's because the only thing you will hear on the radio now from them is Cult of Personality. They did have a few radio hits at the time, but nothing that lasted.

Saw them live in a small club in Houston in '89 and they had some serious energy. They rocked the place and interacted with the crowd well. The first time I ever crowd surfed and it wasn't b/c I wanted to. It really was a cool show.
And to top it off, Drivin-n-Cryin opened.

im a HUGE vernon reid fan, hes one of my favorite guitarists. i saw them in 94 and it was amazing. i saw vernon with spectrum road this summer and he blew me away. ive also seen him sit in with mmw and it was incredible. if you'ree looking for something "out there" check out yohimbe brothers by vernon and dj logic.

Almost every artist gets reduced to 2 or 3 songs on the radio. That's more of a problem with radio than the band. There's only a small percentage that gets a large portion of their catalog played. Even seminal acts like Thin Lizzy, Deep Purple, or T. Rex have been reduced to one song. Doesn't make them any less great.
