This is a video of Living Colour performing their hit "Cult Of Personality" on the Arsenio Hall Show in 1989, I believe. I captured this video from my own V...
I asked my guitar teacher to transcribe that solo for me back when it first came out, and he refused on account of it being "PURE SHIT".

BTW I always thought he was a terrible guitarist. no melody, just random guitar wankery. whatever came out, that was the song. no structure, just spewing random notes at speed. I remember seeing them live on SNL, just frickin terrible. wankery. nothing but pure mindless wankery.

I dig the band. I never thought Vernon was very good. Still don't. His claim to fame is being one of the first black "metal" shredders. I think he is very sloppy as a player although I do like his note selection at times.

Too many people have judged him solely based on one solo in one song. Great riff writer too.
