One of the greatest live bands i’ve ever seen.

I love that the bass isn't "mixed" out of existence with this band. It's prominent in the mix and I love it.

To all the black people that got teased by our own people for liking OUR OWN music...This is for us!

Growing up in the 80’s. This is an anthem. Lyrics are genius. Sadly “Until the truth is seen by each and every eye”. We may never see

still gives me goosebumps after all these years... Those harmonies, Norwood's bass playing, Angelo's singing, the heaviness of the guitars, it all blends so niceely and still sounds so fresh today

Too much. 30 years and they sound as fresh as ever. Gems among the plastic.

if ever there was a band that should've made a zillion dollars and been huge.

Easily one of the greatest songs of its generation. It never gets old.

The whole album is killer but this is absolutely timeless.

My L.A boys!!! 🔥🔥🔥💪🏾💪🏾 Them and Living Color should have made tons of money!!!!

Dude, this is my first time ever hearing Fishbone. They're SUPER dope! They'e like if Earth, Wind, and Fire were a metal band.

i still miss those songs about wbru ;)

I just saw them play in Santa Cruz w/ Les Claypool and the Frog Brigade. They still have all the urgency and energy that they’ve always had! Angelo Moore was handing out setlists and I finally got to geek out on playing Theremin, showed him my Theremin/pedalboard and it turns out we both played the Moog Etherwave Plus Theremin. So much positivity and sincerity from him. 😊

love this song. Fishbone is insanely underrated.

First time I saw this was on SNL and completely blew my sh*t away. That was over 30 years ago and I still get chills where I hear this.

This band was a huge huge HUGE influence on me, as a young black kid who loved hard rock, this was the first band that rocked out good where the members looked like me. back then the only black people you saw in rock music was the occasional drummer or bassist with a white singer and guitarist up front getting all the love.

I'm a 39 year old black man that have never heard of this band. Bored at home last week I watched a documentary about the band and was blew away at how long they have been around. I really like this song and now somewhat a fan of their music.

Q: Is Fishbone, Funk, Punk, Ska, Reggae, Prog, Metal? A: Yes!

Holy crap its almost 30 years old. Omg dude. Seems like yesterday. I saw this video back in 91 and rode my bike straight to the record store and bought the album and cassette single. Which I still have.

one of the best performances... can never get tired of this. Fishbone rocks!

How a band that has influenced so many other bands that are now in the hall of fame and they’re not in is a fucking disgrace. I absolutely love these guys and they are one of the most underrated, genre busting, talented, influential bands of all time! Fucking phenomenal!

This album was one of those "headphone albums" for me. Plug in, tune everything else out and let this one soak in. Man, they were at the peak of their powers here! Such a great point in time for music. Living Colour, 24-7 Spyz, Follow for Now and the mighty Fishbone. What great memories.

When I was a kid after the fall of the iron curtain one of my positive first impressions about The West of the west was Fishbones videos on MTV. I didn't understand the lyrics just loved the vibe of the music. I still really like them.

YOU CAN HEAR THE BASS!!!!! YEAH!

The most underated band that ever existed. Everyone is brilliant. Angelo is incredible doing whatever he needs to.

This song from the reality of my surroundings album is awesome. I have to say it’s a shame that Fishbone never really got the attention they deserve from the masses. My favorite album from Fishbone is Truth and Soul is an extraordinary piece of work I can’t think of anything like it an absolute classic in my opinion.

One of the best shows i saw with these guys was in BC Canada. Customs refused one of their horn players into canada. So they got word out and a young clean cut white guy stood in for the show. It was an amazing show and the guy did a fantastic job with literally last minute notice. He didnt miss a beat and Fishbone welcomed him like their own. Truly class these guys are !

everyone should be listening to fishbone

I’m sold....you are my shinny new obsession!!!

This blew me away, still does

Song of the decade in my opinion. Song for the ages.

I still remember them playing this on Saturday Night Live.

"Until the truth is seen by each and every eye."

"I see the pestilence outside my window" some of the best lyrics ever written

Never heard of these guys, but went on my Spotify discover weekly and this song came up. It became my 2nd most listened to song of 2021. Still bumping this. Such a masterpiece

Hands down the best show I ever saw was Fishbone at First Avenue in Minneapolis. Think it was like 1993. The band (especially Angelo) were absolutely at full throttle giving 150% for a good 90 minutes. It was crazy the way they commanded the audience. The pit went from pure chaos to actual dancing just by playing the next song. Then back to pure chaos. There has never been anyone that can touch their live show.

I originally got into Fishbone because of their ska roots... but this has to be my fave of their songs without a trace of that ska sound.. damn this shit slaps HARD!

Still my go-to for a quick adrenaline fix.

I can hardly wait to see you again! 🕊🕯🎈🎆🎏

Classic , and highly underated . These guys were seriously skilled and tight musicians , they had a positive message and intense energy. Even now what ever projects they are working on i wish these musicians the best and thx for years of great work.

Smoked pot with these guys after their show in Baltimore in the 1990's. Really cool guys.

This is a seriously bad-ass tune and band!

God bless Fishbone. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I remember seeing this Video on MTV 120 minutes when The Reality Of My Surroundings first came out. I have been a HUGE Fishbone fan ever since

The drumming in this song is a punch in the face...amazing.

I remember when this hit in the early 90s,,,,,,,,This is neutron bomb musicianship, absolutely zero quarter given. First time I heard this, I went looking for their other material and found out that FB are a whole lot more than this....Brilliant song, Shows all those 'metal' pretenders of the era how its done...and with an undiluted message to boot. ...Badass, Brilliant, uncompromising...what else you want???

I JUST saw Fishbone live at a club in detroit. Yes they're still at it, but I think this may be their farewell tour. They haven't lost it one bit, it was the rockingest craziest show I've ever been to-they opened with this song, and just exploded.

God I love this song. The message. You all are GIANTS! After all these years this song is more lit than ever!

Fishbone was always a head of their time! So happy I got to see them a few times in their prime.... Their energy was amazing! Now sharing them with my son who is my age when I seen them.

This is a masterpiece.

Most amazing band I have ever witnessed

God DAMN, this is the best thing I've ever heard...

See these fncking awesome dudes about 4 times. Smoked out with them after one of their shows. Angelo was freestyling his poetry out front in a tent before their set at Lollapalooza. Unknown by soooooo many. Sad.

Badass & kickass. Unique. Bloody brilliant. Amazing.

Thank you Video Music Box for introducing me to this band back in the day.

Rock n roll Hall of fame!

My older brothers used to listen to this group, they had a VHS tape with a lot of their music videos.. when I was a little girl this video used to scare me because of the children in cages lol but I always liked the song.

Greatest song of its time. A fucking masterpiece.

21 years later... this song still kicks all kinds of ass !

Need this right now. Fishbone!

Simply put, the greatest band ever.

The most underrated band ever.

This is one the greatest songs ever written.

Lifelong Fishbone fan here and while I’m nervous about the upcoming changes to the band, I’m optimistic Fishbone will continue to deliver amazing music and amazing live shows.

I grew up with this song, this song helped me in rough times. Im 16 now and i know this song all of my life because of my dad. Im very thankful he let me listen to this music!

Saw them many times in the 90s, absolutely awesome! They never conformed to the 3-4 minute live songs. They would go on for 10 minute tangents.

This band was so far ahead of their time they're STILL ahead of their time.

This song is an all time classic.

Brilliant band and one of THE best live shows I ever saw. Saw them at Lollapalooza and once they opened for Primus.

I saw this band live in 1992. Totally blew my mind. Never had seen anything quite like it until that point. Effing amazing.

2023...and still pioneers.

Holy crap! Why didn't I hear about these guys 30 years ago?

Yeah, this song is SICK and Fishbone shoulda been HUGE in 1991 but keep in mind RHCP was an underground band back then. And so were Soundgarden, Nirvana... the list goes on and on. Only us "freaks" listened to these groups in an era when Warrant, Whitesnake, and Poison were still chart toppers. But all that stopped in October of that year. By June of 1992 everybody was singing ""Give It Away," spandex was dead, and Chris Cornell was a household name but Fishbone never got the recognition they deserved.

Fishbone - Sunless Saturday I see the pestilence outside my window I see the dung heaps piled at least a mile high I see the shards of shattered dreams in the street I face the morning with my customary sigh Whoa-oh-oh! Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh! I hear the sounds of children laughing aloud A stumbling wino has attracted quite a crowd My breakfast finished now I brave the outside But clouds have hidden all the warmth inside Chase these clouds away I hate this sunless Saturday Chase these clouds away I hate this sunless Saturday Freedom come (Freedom come) For us now . (For us now) Light our sky (Light our sky) Burn away These clouds Yeah! Perhaps the charcoal grey and brown around me Is just the mirror image of tainted soul I think the sun will never visit my sky Until the truth is seen by each and every eye Whoa-oh-oh! Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh! Chase these clouds away I hate this sunless Saturday Freedom come (Freedom come) For us now . (For us now) Light our sky (Light our sky) Burn away These clouds I see the helpless and I see the insane I see a pauper singing in the pouring rain I see the means of help elude us again I think the sun will never visit me again Whoa-oh-oh! Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh! Chase these clouds away I hate this sunless Saturday Saturday! Saturday! Saturday! Sunless Saturday! Oh-yeah-haa-yeah! Saturday! Saturday! Sunless Saturday! Sunless Saturday! Oh-yeah-haa-yeah!

This song makes me miss music.

all hail fishbone! i saw these guys at the first Lollapalooza in Dallas Tx. 91-92. good times.

This album is 20 years old and the music world still hasn't caught up with it..

I am and always be a Fishbone solider.

I used to have this record. Loved this song...

Kendell doing that fucking awesome guitar solo with the wavy watery sound, Phil going crazy on the drums, man it doesn't get better than this.

That is one of the greatest riffs.

Incredible performances, super high energy, deep meaningful lyrics, thrashing riffs, super catchy beat and rhythm....Fishbone has it ALL.

These fishy boyz JAM! I’ve always thought as much. Happy to hear it every time. 🎸🎼

Music with some POWER... a lot. Fantastic!

The lyrics to this song blow away 99% of today's mainstream drivel.

Which genre does Fishbone plays? A: Yes

They had great moments before and after, but this is the PEAK of Fishbone IMO, sheer perfection.

Absolutely one of my favorite songs of all time. Stoked to get the album when it came out. Some really cool tracks it blew me away when the final track hit my ears. Still gives me chills. It picks you up and moves you. What an amazing work of art.

good music knows no color

Definitely 1of a kind! No labels, total honesty &freedom. See ya @riotfest'15 in Chicago!

I feel like I saw this video decades ago. Once. Sounds so familiar, looks so familiar. But so foreign at the same time. Good stuff either way!

Seen them live in Sydney. Never seen such energy in any performance! Absolutely awesome. Great playing and singer is unbelievable,like he's possessed by the music. Incredible to watch.❤😮

They were SO blazing a trail in this wonderful, powerful and mysterious direction. Either nobody could or would follow them. Damn! Music would have been so much better TODAY if they had. What a missed opportunity for all of us because nobody else had the guts. Very popular with white kids and all but unknown to black kids which is a switch because customarily it is black kids who are in the vanguard. I liked Prince and really liked Living Color but I LOVED Fishbone.

This band was a huge huge HUGE influence on me, as a young black kid who loved hard rock, this was the first band that rocked out good where the members looked like me. back then the only black people you saw in rock music was the occasional drummer or bassist with a white singer and guitarist up front getting all the love.

fishbone one of the greatest bands in music history

This song just gets BETTER every year. Bless FISHBONE

ENERGY and more ENERGY.....The 90s and Fishbone!

This song is not political; it's not racial. The reason this song is great is that it's about depression, plain and simple. We can be depressed for different reasons, but it's part of the universal human condition. *Liked*

NORWOOD & FISH...one of the Baddest most influential Mutha Fishin rythem sections to date! Who's with ME!

I don't quite remember how I stumbled across them, but I'm glad I did. I wish more people knew of them so they could have more support.
