A few bands there I haven't heard of so vids please!
Funk Metal did kick off a little earlier though and here is a little curio for you:
The guitarist is one Tom Morello before he made it in RATM and this was 89 I think. Used to have this on Vinyl.
Living Colour made their debut in 88 and Electric Boys around the same time I think.
