I thought it was great. They blew away Motorhead when they played for HHH (and Lemmy forgot the lyrics).

There was a black guy at the bar I was watching 'Mania at who was shocked. He said something like (and I'm paraphrasing) "Brotha's ain't into that rock shit!"

Funny since blacks were the architects of rock and roll. And I must not be a brotha because I like rock just as much as I do rap. Many of my white co-workers ask me to tell them what rock song is playing on the radio because they don't know.

And then there is also Ice T with Body Count.

A truly memorable performance, no question.

[4real]

I loved it, one of the few highlights no doubt.

Goddman, I must be the elder statesman here because not only did I know they were black, I remember other songs they had like "Elvis Is Dead"

[Ishmeal Loves Kaseyhausen]

Black, white, blue, purple, or orange, they were awesome.

I knew they were black, sued the tv show "In Living Color" because of trademark infringement, and had an another video that aired on MTV called Glamour  Boys. Of course, it was back in the late 80's and I was a preteen.

When I first saw Living Colour, I was more taken aback by Corey Glover's love for Body Glove attire than anything.

I'm in the "people didn't know Living Colour were black?!" camp.

[wallabylikeyou]

They were awesome. No pandering, just went out and rocked.

Amazing performance. Definitely a highlight of the night

[Pushed to the Moon]

Loved it. That riff sounds so awesome when it's raw and live.

[Maxx Rage]

I've known for years that Living Colour was an all-black band. If you're a fan of Sevendust, you tell where they got some of their influence from.

[CM Parish]

Yeah I didn't know they were black either.

[Beast Army Ass]

Yeah, the tried and true recipe for success is just go out there and rock the house, no frills necessary. Both entrances were phenomenal to see.

[chazraps]

Living Colour were outstanding. I can't say yet if they were better than Salt N Pepa at Wrestlemania 11, but it was excellent.

Did the commentary mention that it's also the 25th anniversary of the release of the song?

Yea, I remember that too. But heck they spelled the names differently and everything

[Marty McFry]

Some girl I know got drunk and posted naked pictures on Facebook during this part of mania so I missed most of it, if you get what I'm saying?

[BigJerichool222]

Listening to them practice while waiting in line outside the arena, I thought it'd be OK. BUT MY GOD that was easily one of the best parts of the show for me, they were AWESOME. I don't even think I can describe it; being there live, the atmosphere was intense. The crowd, the band, everything was just insanely fantastic.

Everything about Punk/Taker was amazing; it's the best match I've ever seen live.

[Gummydavidson]

And the sad thing is P Diddy is the one that got the bigger paycheck.
