this era imo rightfully reviled but it's funny that the 3 you picked are the most successful bands of that genre and if anything Living Color were note worthy cause they were an all black metal band that had the chops and had a defining hit single (first album having Mick Jagger co-produce it helped aswell imo)Funk metal/punk funk. fishbone, RHCP, living color. slap bass.
shoot me.
