All give them a listen, ultra bad ass! Apparently Auburn records is suppose to re master the original album and add a bonus disc. It seems Erasmus Chorum released one popular song called "Jungle" pretty crazy shit and don't all leave out Living Colour, their one of my favorite bands. Shows skin color is no barrier if you can kick ass or not. </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/glam-forum/has-there-ever-been-a-negro-glam-band#post-22442 Mon, 23 Mar 2009 19:24:05 +0000 ResedaCountryClub 22442@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>Sound Barrier was an all black band that played the LA club scene with the bands like WASP, RATT, Armored Saint, Black n Blue, Malice, Great White, ect...</p> <p>Sound Barrier released 2 albums and you can find their video on youtube.com </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/glam-forum/has-there-ever-been-a-negro-glam-band#post-22363 Thu, 12 Mar 2009 15:33:53 +0000 Dollbreaker 22363@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>For andywicked- I came across 2 songs by Pure Hell somewhere and they kicked ass!

In hindsight, I think that they were. The best category for them to fit is probably glam as they played straight up rock-n-roll dressed relatively fabulously! </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/glam-forum/has-there-ever-been-a-negro-glam-band#post-22320 Sun, 08 Mar 2009 07:19:56 +0000 motleyguy 22320@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>How about these guys <a href="http://www.glamrock.com/blog/forum/topic/living-colour" rel="nofollow">Living Color</a> </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/glam-forum/has-there-ever-been-a-negro-glam-band#post-22315 Sun, 08 Mar 2009 04:07:10 +0000 andywicked 22315@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>Hmm... in conclusion. no matter the color of your skin.. you cna still rock in (america) EARTH!</p> <p>which brings me to my next question... are they any good? hahahha </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/glam-forum/has-there-ever-been-a-negro-glam-band#post-22295 Thu, 05 Mar 2009 16:40:22 +0000 Dollbreaker 22295@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>Good call on no Hendrix no Glam- the guy had style and it clearly rubbed off on the first wave of glam bands. LUV the ruffled sleeves and all the color.</p> <p>There are a few obscure black dudes with glam cred. Pure Hell was an all black glam/punk band from the mid 70s. They had kind of a leather look, but definitely with glam flair. Also, Barry Jones played in the Idols (famously backing Sid Vicious on his final doomed shows) and the London Cowboys as well as a great stint with Johnny Thunders. </p> <p>An argument could be made that Living Color was a glam band of sorts- maybe. </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/glam-forum/has-there-ever-been-a-negro-glam-band#post-22287 Wed, 04 Mar 2009 23:50:20 +0000 N1v3n 22287@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>one of the original members of Twisted Sister was a black dude.</p> <p>There's also been Phil Lynott, but Thin Lizzy were never really Glam.</p> <p>There wouldn't have been Glam without Hendrix. </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/glam-forum/has-there-ever-been-a-negro-glam-band#post-22252 Sun, 01 Mar 2009 01:27:18 +0000 dorkstarmy93 22252@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>Oh my God!

I'm talking pink leopard-print guitar and everything.</p> <p>Oh and I must say, one of the guys in MARS, the one in red, with those lovely red shoes... he's gorgeous! I love his style.
