The chili peppers said they could not understand how Fishbone, a band that came out from the beginning with incredible rhythm and melody, were not celebrated as much or more than them. The chili peppers were allowed to grow into a band. Fishbone were a BAND from the very start.

Thirty years old and stands up to anything produced today 🤘🏻

Fishbone and Bad Brains are the sound of my youth. They continue to be the soundtrack of my life.

I don't think some here realize how old Fishbone actually is. They've been making music since 1979.

People didn't understand it, and I don't understand THAT... They were insane at Lalapaloosa in Orlando. This is one of my very favorite songs. Metal with soul. When I saw them in Naples Florida at a club about 13 years ago, it was a very different, intimate gig. They didn't play Servitude, but they did Swim. This place was two stories tall with a loft and the stage was about a 6" riser, no separation whatsoever from the crowd. They were all crammed up there so Angelo was in the crowd most of the time. He appears in front of me and sticks the mic in my face so I sing along for a few seconds. Then, he locks his hands together and somehow I understand he wants me to launch him up above the crowd so he can surf around, so I did. I bought one of his comics with CD after. I've seen hundreds of shows and sing in bands as well. That was the coolest, most feel good show I've ever been to in my life. Thank you Angelo and Fishbone! I will never forget that.

Take note people. They're wailing out some prophetic words we should have gave more credence to. Chains are breaking, minds are waking...

So great to hear Chris Dowd stepping out from behind the keyboards to sing. His voice adds such a power to the Fishbone sound that has never been achieved with Angelo's carefree vocal style.

One of the best goddamn metal songs EVER 🤘🏻

I don't think anything today can hold a candle to this band and or this song specifically. Totally underrated!!

I wore this cassette tape out. This band should have been as big as the Chilipeppers.

Who, who do you serve? For whose empire and for whose whims? Is your honor judged by men? Will you lie? Will you lie if they say it`s their will? Will you die or continue to kill? Until the generals all have their fill Craven cowards Armchair warriors You will serve them well What, what will you write? For whose pleasure, for whose delight? Will your readers see your light? Will you say... That the singer can`t blow you away? That we hate people just `cause they`re gay Women and children all stay away To whom, whom do you pray? Do dollars wash your sins away? Does God love cold hard cash? Do you say... If we all just continue to pay All our ailments will go away And our souls will be saved God`s not with you "Holy Roller" Your heart dwells in Hell Why, Why do you run? Our awareness has spoiled your fun Our eyes see you too clear Will you hide From the joy of expressing our pride For the leaders and people who`ve died While combating your genocide Chains are breaking Minds are waking Soon we`ll serve no more..

Lollapalooza 1993. These guys were sick as fuck. Angelo is one of the coolest musicians I have ever met. Long live the Bone!

2024. still serving, just saying

Idk but I like the cut of "old school" bands like this. They built as a ska band but weren't afraid to experiment with other genres and they killed it every single time. Kept it fresh. Kept it original. Most bands are kinda pussies now when it comes to variety. They're pressured by their labels and fans to keep a strict regiment on their sound. This was back when music was allowed to be fun, crazy, and free.

This is one of my favorite riffs ever and the lyrics are just amazingly poignant.

22 years after I still can't decide if the lyrics or the music is the best... geez, 1% of this energy kicks 1,000 Slipknot rants and noisy shit...

Love that nasty guitar riff starting at 3:39. Fishbone was such such a talented and versatile band.

This is how you fucking rock! And the lyrics are brilliant. Most underrated band of all time. Fishbone For LIFE!

I'm sad I had to type in black rock bands to hear about them ! they're literally everything I've been looking for

Never tired of listen to this. What a masterpiece. Still relevant up today.

this tune alone melts in acid tons of hard rock shit we have been exposed to in the last 30 years... And yet the average metal head who may mistakenly buy a Fishbone album hoping to find something similar, will be doomed to failure, because with Fishbone, each song is a musical genre per se, that's how great they are

It occurs to me that with bands relying more on live shows rather than CD sales these days, Fishbone would probably have been the biggest band in the world if they were of this generation.

This is the right type of music, that we have always needed.

WOW! For so long I was looking for someone whose vocals, melody and rhythm was as intricate as that of Alice in Chains and now I have found!

They play in many styles. So much talent in this band that even though they primarily play funk/ska they just nail the metal genre so well people think they are a metal band. This album is incredible, I highly recommend it!

These guys so ahead of their time, it's amazing.

Sad I'm 45 and just realizing how awesome and heavy they are. I loved Fight the Youth and Swim.

The most criminally underrated band ever, with the possible exception of The Pogues.

This song is such a raw projection of Kendall's soul. It breaks my heart to know he wasn't there to perform it.

WOW TALK ABOUT UNDERRATED MUSICIANS.....

Seen them a dozen times. In their prime, best live band, hands down. No contest. Fish one played so many styles and killed them all. Could not be forced into a box or label.

Every track from those days just shows you how incredible a drummer Fish really is. I would love to hear some of the original recordings without the studio processing used on drums during that time.

Total class! Fishbone are so underrated..

Comments. I guess this guitarist got kicked put of fishbone, because of his christian belefs. But I do honor them for giving him a song. This is my favorite. I saw Angelo shunned at an MTV interview with Maynard from tool. Fishbone should have been honored for what they are. This is an epic group. Fishbone is king.

That the Red Hot Chili Peppers are millionaires and Fishbone swim in obscurity sickens me to no end. I played in a band that supported Fishbone on the ROMS tour, just watching them soundcheck with Sunless Saturday was a sight to behold. They were completely motionless and playing harder with more intent than most bands would in a typical show. Fishbone along with the Bad Brains should have taken over the world.

Absolutely crushing it. The guitar note at 3:40 gives me goosebumps every time. He pulls that feedback and works it like a pro.

Fishbone had well written compositions . So underrated for a powerhouse band like this.

They are the most talented musicians ever. So many genres covered. All the messages different. Fishbone wrote the soundtrack of life.

They are the prime example of Raw Talent....a lot of bands and singers need to take notes from these men

Lots of talk of underrated talents and rhcp. Living colour anyone?

I totally see how incubus, taproot etc. was influenced. This album was ahead of its time.

Respect Fishbone.

Luv this band. I got hip to Fishbone around 1987..."When Problems Arise." Come on!!!!!!!!!!!

One of my favorite bands ever. They never got their due. Those of us who knew, knew. I wish there had been more. But maybe that would have ruined things. Musically, the perfect overlap of in-your-face rock, shake-it-til-ya-break-it funk, and the exact amount of ska to make it effective without pigeonholing them. All done with SOUL. ALWAYS with soul. Lyricism that spanned from a modern day psalmist calling out from the broken (but still hopeful) heart of humanity that tomorrow will be better, to being the unflinching witness on the stand who will not be denied the opportunity to irrefutably call out the bull$%×+ tactics used to institutionally manipulate the masses against each other and keep us all in our socio-economic ranks. Nothing and no one else like them. Truth and Soul.

It has to be noticed Fishbone is one of the rare groups that allow people to express themselves in the comment section of their official channel.

Chris Dowd has an amazing voice!

FISHBONE DID BLOW UP IN THE MINDS OF MILLIONS DON'T GET IT CONFUSED FISHBONE SOLDIER !

That sustained whammy note still crucifies me!!!

Criminally unappreciated for far too long.

Fishbone were such an influence when i was a young musician. They were unfortunately ahead of their time.

i love everything fishbone has done, every phase of their evolution oozes awesomeness

Fishbone is red hot FOREVER, baby!!! 930 club 198something I think 3 or 4. Shit I cant remember. but I know I smoked a joint with them between sets. They came out and saw me and asked where to score and I was already steady, eddy. I love these brothers.

Hail to fishbone ! Big hugs from France 🇫🇷 🤘 ❤️

Great band, rock, soul, reggae, Rnb, all in the mix, should have been far bigger than they was

One of the most prophetic songs ever written. Fight me.

One of the best band ever. Criminally underated.

You just don’t see band like Fishbone anymore, it’s a real shame, peeps these days haven’t heard of them.

In support of your statement, many of those bands, to include 311, Sublime, No Doubt and many others were HEAVILY influenced by Fishbone. I would like to correct you on one thing, FIshbone had been on their 5th recording by the time Grunge was going mainstream. They had already smashed a few hundred mosh pits before Nirvana released "Nevermind". They are surely one of the most influential and diverse band in history. RHCP admits to FB being one of their biggest influences!!!

I just discovered this band thanks to an old TOOL poster, apparently they toured together in the 90's.

Should be a love button

I met Angelo once, class act! I was dumbfounded and lost my tongue. He just crept through the crowd at this music fest, nobody saw him but me. I approached the man and said, "you da man!" And we had a lovely chat. Just a great experience and great man! Plus we share the same b-day which I failed to share with.

Dang. I can’t believe how fresh this still sounds. Oh the memories. Thank you Fishbone!

This is something, a black rock band...DAMN!!!😎

Amazing Band. Clever lyrics and unpredictable.

A "Kendall Jones LIVE Cam" Blu-ray, I would buy in a heartbeat !! C'mon Fishbone, give it to us!

I have heard the name fishbone for many years, im finally listening to them for the first time. I blown away! These guys have the coolest sound that I've heard in a really long time. Amazing.

Such an underrated album. Top 5 all time, so textured yet melodic and heavy. Their message is needed in these times too

These were the days, my friends

This song is all kinds of badass!

Absolute beast of a track. The power... Love it. Love them. Lyrics more poignant today than ever. Criminally underrated.

STILL the greatest song recorded after all these decades ❤

One of the greatest rock tunes ever written

Saw you guys LIVE in Belgium back in 93... ROCKWOOD

No me canso de escuchar este track buenísimos los fishbone

Had the pleasure of seeing them live in Holland a few times in the early 90s. Nothing better than these guys!

2017 and still kicking out !!!! great band !! one the best metal songs ever !!

This would totally be my intro song If I was a WWF wrestler.

Holy crap, great band! How is this my first time hearing them?

this needs way more likes come on people these guys are amazing ! one of the best live bands.

I've been sleep on Fishbone. Thanks for the awakening.

Such a terrifyingly timeless song. That what they said way back then still applies to today is just depressing. Great song, though. Much respect.

It's time for the Fishbone UNSUNG

This is my first time hearing this, and all I can say is I'm glad I did it. I'm fucking blown away.

Saw them live last december. Bragged to my teacher about it and HE said HE saw them in the 80S. Feh.

never heard of them till about ten minutes ago, not bad

We are stoked to have Fish Bone playing Ocean Aid Hawaii April 30 2017 These guys ROCK !!

No me canso de escuchar esta rola buenísimos los fishbone yeaahh saludos desde EL SALVADOR

I didn't enjoy this song but it's great to see people who look like me playing rock music.The musicians are talented and the lead vocalist has a great voice for this style.

4:13 is such a good riff and I need to hear more of it!

This band deserved to blow up. But u can't market something that is so original. Original line up best live band ever

This one song from this band, influenced metal from 1997-2001.

That's how u fuckin' rock out at a show

This song kicks all the asses in the world

Listened to this when I was a little kid, was an immediate fan, I'm touching back to the music I used to listen to, it's such a nice thing

So badass and original

All of you look great covering them bones! Such an up to date version! Setting new standards in music.

This sounds like something people would call original if it came out today. God damn this is good.

this cut still to this day has the power and rocks with any rock band still going on now in 2015. i play this once a month and it still rocks hard.

Fucking hell! Got in to this band when I was 14. I’m now 49 and just sent this to my nearly 18 year d son. Hope he can appreciate this 🫡🙏

Love this band !
