Living Colour were excellent musicians. They kind of threw in some undertones of prog influence in with the obvious funky/rock/metal. And their cover of "Burning of the Midnight Lamp" was pretty damn good. Also, it was one of Hendrix's best tunes, in my opinion, so it definitely reflects on their personal influence, and kind of hints at the fact that they were type of band to cover a song because it was really good, and not cover a song because everybody would know it.
