Happy Birthday to guitarist Vernon Reid of Living Colour. He's 56 today (August 22nd). Reid was named #66 om Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 Greatest Guitarist's of All Time. Also celebrating today is former Ratt bassist Juan Croucier(55) and we remember Layne Staley of Alice In Chains who would have been 47 years old today...
Living Colour still don't have a title or release date for the follow-up to their 2009 'The Chair in the Doorway' LP -- but guitarist Vernon Reid definitely has an idea of what fans can expect to hear when the new record arrives.
