I used to love these guys when they came out. Now I'm sort of rediscovering them. By default really because today's rock blows. This might be the only band that I actually don't hate the keyboard. This version is also way better than the original by the way.
check out Dirty Walt and Columbus Sanatation! He worked hard to make these albums but why this got only 200 views? If you support fishbone, check out his stuff too!
This is *real* black music..ha ha you guys buy that commercial bullshit...I love real shit don't care what it is...give me something you believe in....Fishbone believes...
@Spankeedoodle There doesn't have to be. Sure, most country singers/bands are in fact white, but saying that is the COLOUR white implies that any other race isn't allowed or cannot play it. So music in general has no colour.
@SLAPnPOP726 I agree with you on that, but History or knowledge is a good thing last time checked,I like being controversial excuse me 4 being me, and if i offended u in anyway
@Spankeedoodle haha you're not offending me. I'm just statin' my ideals is all. And being controversial is alright, but not just for the hell of it. It should have purpose.
Why don't more brothas make music like this. I mean i love hip hop and all, but this is slammin. Weezy take some notes bra. This how a brotha make a rock album.
It's so sad that these guys never got big, I mean like peppers did, and the saddest part is that these days there's only pop and hip-pop artists on charts..Lady gaga, justin bieber and all the others..and then there's those bands that call themselves rock but are nothing like it! I hope that one day the real music will takeover the charts.
no disrepect to fishbone but they just don't sound as good as they used to. it happens to many great bands. they r still better than most of what's out there today, and i would see them in a heartbeat. still a great band just not as great. and please enough with comparisons to living color. why, because they r both black bands. they have completely different sounds. living color is awesome and stands on its own.
FISHBONE STILL KICKS ASS IN 2010....THEY ARE STILL SOME OF THE SICKEST MUSICIANS....LIVING COLOR IS ANOTHER GREAT BAND THAT IS STILL ROCKING IN 2010. DON'T SLEEP YOU GUYS...THERE ARE FANS THAT STILL KEEP THESE GUYS PLAYING! GREAT MUSIC IS STILL OUT THERE, WE THE FANS JUST HAVE TO SEARCH FOR IT AND KEEP PEOPLE ENLIGHTENED. PEACE.
even better than the original, sorry curtis. fishbone was one of the great bands that never quite made it on the radar. they r still good but not great like they once were. if you had the chance to see them in their prime you were lucky. what a sonic blast of ska and funk. nobody did it better.
They are both incredible bands - Fishbone and Living Color. Wil Calhoun (spelled wrong?) is one of the greats when it comes to drums. Check out the 3rd buddy rich memorial Tribute scholarship concert. But NOBODY is like Fishbone, period!
Makes me laugh that things have gone backwards with music, no raprockmetalfunk or fusion. Just shitty repetitive hiphop that talks about 3 subjects every song or shallow pop or elitist / depressive fashionable rock factions
No it doesn't, electronic music is some of the best music I've ever heard, in fact I plan on eventually creating some electronic music along with post rock and ambient. Which are two other great genres! You have no sense of what good music is
@gatheringleaves No ... I think you are not seeing the garbage out there ... with the exception of people like Skrillex and Aphex Twin and the like ... creativity is long dead .... Replaced with Brittany Spears , Beiber ... and whatever crap you think you are going to put out.
kindly thinking, i guess he means that RHCP did not catch the right time and didnt become big in the beginning. to be honest with u, i started to hate RHCP since they released Blood Sugar Sex Magik, but there is no way to deny their greatness illustrated in the early albums. so raw, so uncut, but also contains a heck of a lot. and this fishbone song makes me think, hey, maybe curtis mayfield wasnt that good.
Greeting loved one..Freddie is ALL OF US...the guy who got used and abused by Drug...Miseducation..Family and Friends...at sometime...we all been freddie...be well be great
@STARRBUCK1973 Darned right! Jimi Hendrix and Buddy Guy laid down the template for the leanest, meanest soaring rock guitar ever. It's about time the MOBO awards started acknowledging ROCK instead of ignoring it. 80% of Rock IS of black origin - without question.
@crimsonrush Cmon dude I'm sick of people arguing what rock band is the best and now with the few FEW rockbands of black people you start with the stupid debate again?? do not be a fool
we must support them no arguing wich one of them is the best
@crimsonrush Living Colour is still good, but I hear ya. Fishbone's been the only thing on my stereo since I first heard "The Reality Of My Surroundings"-album =)
@navetx Actually, after this cover, which he LOVED, Curtis Mayfield worked with them happily on a one song for a film soundtrack and they had plans to record and tour with him but his unfortunately crippling accident derailed all that.
@willisdholla Rolled over in his bed? Mayfield recorded "He's a FlyGuy" for the I'm Gonna Git You Sucka soundtrack.WITH Fishbone shortly before he died. He loved Fishbone.
I definitely like the original better also. Fishbone idolized Curtis Mayfield and ask his blessing before covering this song. Mr. Mayfiled said publically that he liked the creativity of this group and gave them the okay to do it. Creative musicians stick together like that. I'll keep listening to the original though.
Your a kid... what do you know of the 80's. Fishbone is the shit! I saw them at the Antennae Club during the "Truth and Soul" tour. They were amazing live and very cool to hang out with after the show.
this video is the cusp of eighties and nineties sensibilities/aesthetics in visual terms. The music is timeless however. Angelo came over our house once to drop off a book of his poetry and we smoked serious kind bud while cruising around LA. in our cross country red devil. Totally real superstar. truth and Soul is one the best albums of the '90's
I was at that show-It was balls out. They really connected with the fans there. Cool guys. Met up with them again at the new dasiy during sound check and they remembered me 1 year later. They let me eat from their fruit buffett. how cool is that.
To archive303: I stand corrected. I was talking about Ska, not 2 Tone - Ska was created in Jamaicans and 2 Tone was created in Jamaicans living in Britain or Black British people. I just found amusing that Black Americans, meaning Fishbone,
had to go to a White suburban school to learn about Ska. I get tired or non-Blacks trying to tell us Black folks about our own history. Some of read and know our own history.
Did You Know?: This was released the same year as the 1991 motion picture sequel Freddie's Dead: The Final Nightmare. But neither this song or that film bare any connection.
a bunch of black musicians get bussed from Watts to a white highschool and are exposed to skate/punk/hardcore and ska which morphs them into a band all to them selves.
Freddie, the character in the song originally done by Curtis Mayfield, was a drug addict who turned to selling drugs to support his habit which ultimately wound up killing him.
Oh yes. Just listen to the music. Fuck everything else going on around you and just listen to the music. Why didn't I think of that. Fuck everything else. South Central in the muthafuckin' house.
Yeah I know. I'm tellin you man, I can say some dumb shit. If it ain't to your liking, that shit is ridiculous. I'm such a dumbass. But you know what, you haven't yet told me why this is true. Why am I a dumbass? And we can go from there. I'm expecting someone like you to respond with an answer other that "because"...Step to my level.
i am not personally acquainted with you, nor do i know anything about your life experiences and therefore cannot provide an accurate response to your inquiry of "why am i a dumbass?" all the evidence i have are the many pointless responses you have posted on these videos. based on these responses i conclude that you are a dumbass. i cant tell you why, but i'm sure you can.
"i dont know what yall here (hear), but that does not sound good. this version doesn't come close to the original. same words, different concept. i doubt they made Curtis proud."
" . . . always talkin about "open your mind"...you're tryin to assure me that everything is alright, right? shut the fuck up;)"
" . . . turn a good soul song into some rock'n'roll bull shit. shut the fuck up man!"
Case closed. You have enlightened me with the infinite wisdom in your responses.
Yes, now go share with the world my wisdom. tell everybody. It would be a much smarter place. The case will never close. It will infinitely be open. Thank You, dumb ass. You're a real pal.
I you never caught a Fishbone show in the late 80's or early 90's, ya missed out on the best live performance you'll ever see. First time I saw em in 87 and the club was pumped with energy that chairs and tables were flying halfway through show.
i dont know what yall here, but that does not sound good. this version doesn't come close to the original. same words, different concept. i doubt they made Curtis proud.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
open my ears to what muthafucka. i can tell yo ass is white. always talkin about "open your mind"...you're tryin to assure me that everything is alright, right? shut the fuck up;)
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
You know what? That would be a hell of a favor to the white world, wouldn't it, Jimmy? Another victory for you punk muthafuckas...But it won't be that easy, Jim. Not at all, son.
You're right. But people of certain colors take idiocracy to a whole different level. So yes, some people are dumber than others. Regardless, race always matters. it certainly makes a difference.
Not sure what trip you're on, but I don't give a fuck. And I couldn't care less about your fucking skin color. To me, an idiot is just an idiot. You're having issues, dude.
You're truly right. In fact, everyone cares less about color. I will have you know you're wasting my fuckin time with this shit. You're making no sense and you're saying the same shit over and over again. Shut the fuck up. Make a new point...
Considering the fact that this is my third comment here, I ask myself how I've managed "saying the same shit over and over again" already. I guess you're just using the wrong "medication", if you know what I mean. Fuck you, get over yourself.

Freddie, the character in the song originally done by Curtis Mayfield, was a drug addict who turned to selling drugs to support his habit which ultimately wound up killing him.

Truth and Soul. Great album--informed late high school and early college experiences. Underrated band.

Yeah I know. I'm tellin you man, I can say some dumb shit. If it ain't to your liking, that shit is ridiculous. I'm such a dumbass. But you know what, you haven't yet told me why this is true. Why am I a dumbass? And we can go from there. I'm expecting someone like you to respond with an answer other that "because"...Step to my level.
bigmalc89 4 years ago
i am not personally acquainted with you, nor do i know anything about your life experiences and therefore cannot provide an accurate response to your inquiry of "why am i a dumbass?" all the evidence i have are the many pointless responses you have posted on these videos. based on these responses i conclude that you are a dumbass. i cant tell you why, but i'm sure you can.

"i dont know what yall here (hear), but that does not sound good. this version doesn't come close to the original. same words, different concept. i doubt they made Curtis proud."
" . . . always talkin about "open your mind"...you're tryin to assure me that everything is alright, right? shut the fuck up;)"
" . . . turn a good soul song into some rock'n'roll bull shit. shut the fuck up man!"
Case closed. You have enlightened me with the infinite wisdom in your responses.

I you never caught a Fishbone show in the late 80's or early 90's, ya missed out on the best live performance you'll ever see. First time I saw em in 87 and the club was pumped with energy that chairs and tables were flying halfway through show.

You know what? That would be a hell of a favor to the white world, wouldn't it, Jimmy? Another victory for you punk muthafuckas...But it won't be that easy, Jim. Not at all, son.

White, black...dumbasses are dumbasses, theres no color discrimination for idiocracy
turkeyninja 4 years ago 2
You're right. But people of certain colors take idiocracy to a whole different level. So yes, some people are dumber than others. Regardless, race always matters. it certainly makes a difference.

Not sure what trip you're on, but I don't give a fuck. And I couldn't care less about your fucking skin color. To me, an idiot is just an idiot. You're having issues, dude.
JimmyHellfire 4 years ago
You're truly right. In fact, everyone cares less about color. I will have you know you're wasting my fuckin time with this shit. You're making no sense and you're saying the same shit over and over again. Shut the fuck up. Make a new point...
bigmalc89 4 years ago
Considering the fact that this is my third comment here, I ask myself how I've managed "saying the same shit over and over again" already. I guess you're just using the wrong "medication", if you know what I mean. Fuck you, get over yourself.
