Fishbone is a fantastic band - they have every right to be HUGE. The problem was that when the broken out, late 80s-early 90s, what the labels wanted was hip-hop or grunge and Fishbone didn't fit anywhere. They might have made it anyway but Sony dropped them after the guitarist had a breakdown and the bassist got accused of kidnapping when he tried to help. Just a perfect storm of bad luck for a GREAT band.
I just came back San Francisco and seen the Documentary of Fishbone and got to meet and shake hands with Angelo Moore at the Roxy. they will be back in Frisco as a group in March and will be opening for Public Enemy at Yoshi's....I will be flying to see that....peace yall.
if a band like fishbone came out now, it would blow douches like bruno mars, and lil wayen out of the water! they would inspire a whole new generation of music, songs about family and just a happier, not gettin down in da club, kind of music! kids need this, more of a moral point on life. not everyone is a gangsta, or whatever hip hop artists call them selves. im not some old guy either, i'm 16 and seriously worried about what my kids will listen to.
I remember these guys playing SNL in the fall of '91 or thereabouts. They were right on the cusp of breaking it into the big time but just missed the bus. They could not follow up the genius of Truth and Soul, but they had talent to spare.
@dropway9 I disagree. They had truth, and they definetely had soul. But, the music market was not pushing this style of music, at the time. Their R and B was more Luther Vandross, Keith Sweat, Levert, Micheal and Janet Jackson, Madonna, Annie Lennox [Eurythmics] Lisa Stanfield and ETC... Totally different sound and toally different market to what Fishbone, has been doing.
@spadge321 I agree. I do think that Anthony and the boys got a lot of their styles, from what Fishbone has done. But, you've got to admit. Chili Peppers has got some absolute awesome material, throughout their history, as well.
Could you help me to come true this fabulous dream? PLEASE, my dream is to be a singer I know that Im not a professional singer but I do my best and if you give me the opportunity I know that I can be that singer that im dreaming please stop by my channel “Anlimema” and check out my acapella. you have no idea how much I appreciate your support, it means the world to me.
@Andynow89 I'm black. I know that there are many bands comprised of members black, white, yellow, red, whatever..Who don't get exposure. Talented bands. Fishbone is as talented as any indie rock/metal/underground band...They're not special because they're black. This is the nature of the underground struggle. They are no different than any other band. :)
@silverbaal thank you for you're comment I definitely agree!! I heard of them from watching a documentary about afropunk and another documentary about black rockers. But I really got interested in them because of D'angelo because he's doing an album that will be heavily influenced by afropunk and rock and soul obviously. I'm excited I wish more artists would go in to ska afropunk and rock. But not commercially for the money just to find a new expression of their music.
@silverbaal who cares if they are black?Fishbone rock!We used to listen to Fishbone so much my girlfriend would sing the songs in her sleep(1988)Love them and i also like Fear ,Bad Brains,dino Jr, the replacements,husker du the pixies public enemy Music has no color!
@silverbaal Well put. My friends think that rock, alt. etc as being "white" because of that rep. that's been built. On the other hand though why is it that people in genres that have been associated with blacks and nowadays people of color in general (rap, soul, rnb etc) are more easily recognized by people? Why is it that most people know Adele or Robin Thicke but not Phil Lynott, Jimi Hendrix etc? I'm not a hater, I like Adele but it's a pattern I've noticed and annoying one at that.
@tinybubblesinhawaii I haven't a clue who those first two people are. Of course, I'm very familiar with Jimi and Phil Lynott. Nonetheless, I can answer your question. It's because white people like things, even cultural products, that are all white. They also like to pretend that black folks didn't invent rock and roll, both the music and the phrase it was named after.
They're not popular because they're WEIRD compared to what most people listen to. They don't stick with one genre, and people like consistency. It makes them feel safe on some level. Fishbone's great, don't get me wrong, but people can't handle what they do; it's not because they're black. Haven't you noticed the gross over-representation of "thuggish" or "gangster" blacks in pop culture? :P
@silverbaal They are different in that they are Roadsign that most bands of this genre or non genre that began melding different musical styles still under the banner of punk that came out of the 80's. followed.
@andynow89 Fishbone sang about this on the track "Rock Star" off of "Chim Chim's Badass Revenge". I believe the music industry was and is afraid of the influence African-Americans have in the music industry. If you ask me Fishbone should've broke through when their first EP came out. Folks talk about how many genre this band covers and how they were hard to place, but I feel that there music was unique and accessible from the beginning.
This is not the original track for the video. Can't you tell that it been overdubbed? The original video that was posted has been blocked by Sony and that really sucks.
hey just wanna say amazing song :P if anyones into funk music check out my band page, although unfortunately we haven't got much video's at the minute D: and the one's we do have are mega old and in the bands early stages when we weren't to good lol, but we're gunna be uploading new stuff and trust me we wont dissapoint so subscribe if you like what we're about and you will see that our stuff is bringing FUNK back, thankyou and please help (:
@andynow89 sorry mate but I have never ever fucking heard a good african american rock band in my life...Fishbone are Ska,Living Colour were funk and those two are the only ones that count nad leave Jimi out of it
Thi was the first song that I'd ever heard from Fishbone, and it caught me right in the cheek. Upon further investigation, this band has a hold on a very deep part of me. I can not imagine my ears without them now.
Always have and always will love Fishbone. My band has had the opportunity to share the stage with them 3 times and each time has been memorable. Most recently was Ska In The Park this past June in Pomona, CA.
There's still great music out there, but you just have to search it out. Don't let the record companies feed you what you should listen to. Or if you've got the desire, write it and play it yourself. It all starts with a fresh idea. Peace and Unity in the Ska Community!
@andynow89 There's a pop rock band here in STL called Kaleidoscope Horizon with a black singer! They're sick! They've got a myspace except they've changed their style a lot, they're not as electronic/gimmicky as the demo on their is. They've come into their own and are gaining some recognition here. Definitely check them out!
@andynow89 Probably not your style, but you should look up Killswitch Engage. I think they're pretty good, and the lead singer's deep voice is unique to the genre.
fishbone aren't the same band they once were, but when they were in their prime no band band was better at what they did. they were masters of their genre and one of the best period. unfortunately they were under the radar. doesn't matter pick up their old albums and be blown away. still better than 90% of the shit now.
I am black and I remember seeing fishbone sooo many times. They are/were awesome! Unfortunately, the music that is out today is only out for people who are LED to believe that what they hear and see is WHAT is good...ppl need to think outside of the fucking box! SKA TIL' YOUR HEART STOPS!
@andynow89 Hey man, it's not just african americans that produce this music, if you look at it, it's almost everybody who isn't north american, or british, but still, you only see american and british so called "musicians" out there, but yeah, you are on the right track...
@andynow89 Dude there are plenty of talented white artists, brown artists, latinos, etc. The reason they dont get signed is due primarily to lack of exposure, but almost as important, because they are not easy for pinhead agencies to mass market.
And weezer kind of ripped the riff. I was just reading a thread discussing how african american artists don't get the same mainstream recognition as white contemporaries. And I have to say, fishbone is better than no doubt. It's so stupid to think that certain generas are exclusive to certain races.
@enomarekim Thats a pretty shallow analysis though, I think you would do better to consider more than just race, but lifestyle and salary of the targetted customers. No doubt's customers could have been 2 million spoiled suburban kids who could basically just ask their moms for money and get a ride to the cd store. But I could agree with you that some of these same suburban kids could be raised to find something unappealing just because its written by blacks. And the media as well
That is so true drewper...I had the chance to see them in Toronto in the early 90s...I was front & center , holding on for dear life...I ended up in the back with in seconds lol...left crying cause I couldn't see a damn thing...and I had dreamed of the opportunity for so long !!!
I've had the privilege of seeing Fishbone 3 times. Unfortunately, 2 of those times were without Fish on drums. Robmonster1, I also saw them in '96 and they blew my mind. Fishbone never got the commercial credit that other bands half as good get.
I you want new, energetic music with brass instruments, check out lettuce, soulive and galactic. these are funk/jazz groups, but you won't be disappointed
theres soooooo much good stuff out there. in fact the 00's has been my favorite decade for music (ignoring Nickelback and such, I don't listen to the radio.)
these guys have been around for years and they're still entertaining as ever!! Jealous of all my friends in Florida who will get to see them in February!

sadly, fishbone and bad brains are too good for mass consumption.
that shows where "consumers" minds are.
or where they are NOT.

One of the MOST talented bands.
These guys are genius; they BLOW away 99% of bands that get "recognition".
See them live and you will understand.
God Bless, Fishbone.

I've had the privilege of seeing Fishbone 3 times. Unfortunately, 2 of those times were without Fish on drums. Robmonster1, I also saw them in '96 and they blew my mind. Fishbone never got the commercial credit that other bands half as good get.

are these the same guys who performed with the red hot chili peppers in 87 at the roxy club for the jimi hendrix tribute?

Are there any bands of such greatness around now? I just hear Nickelback and I want to give up on the world, but there must be something better...

I you want new, energetic music with brass instruments, check out lettuce, soulive and galactic. these are funk/jazz groups, but you won't be disappointed

Damon and the Heathens are playing some horns in Oakland - not ska, more jazz - but good

theres soooooo much good stuff out there. in fact the 00's has been my favorite decade for music (ignoring Nickelback and such, I don't listen to the radio.)

There is, but mainstream music exposure has gone to the dogs. You really need to look hard for good music today.
