Fishbone were overlooked by channels like MTV cos they didn't fit the mould. Incredible band with so much feeling andcreality in their music.

I saw this video for the first time on "Beavis& Butt-head" back in the day. Thumbs Up!!!

These guys were way ahead of their time. This is a band we need today.

Was around before Living Colour

I was there too! Filmed at London Astoria 21/10/91. My first ever gig - and what an unforgettable gig it was. I remember they passed that massive flag out over the crowd and told us not to damage it - the thing was ripped to shreds by the time they finished the song. Heheh.

I agree. I discovered them on a free CD handed out at some show I can’t remember back in the 90s. I got to see them perform live at lollapalooza and they were amazing. This and Sunlesd Saturday are my favorite songs from them. So talented, so underrated and most of all, as someone else already said, way ahead of their time, This message needs to be delivered to so many people in this country, today…

From one of the greatest albums of all time

A masterpiece. One of the greatest songs ever written. And I don't toss those words around lightly.

Love this band, love this song, love the album "The Reality Of My Surroundings" ❤❤❤🐟🐠🐟🐠🐟🐠🐟🐠

Talk about underrated! They use to rehearse in a studio on the floor above my band.

This era of Fishbone blew the dots off of all the rest of the "funk metal" genre. The original version blew the dots off the English ska-punk thing.

Reality of My Surroundings is one of the greatest records of all time. This is the peak of one of the greatest bands to grace this good earth.

You don't know music if you can't get with these guys...journeymen they are to say the least...they have survived so much throughout the changes in music. Loved their music from the 80's...and this jam here is a perfect display of the heartbeat of Fishbone....Funky, a lil metal flavor, with a lil tight jazz mix....That is Fishbone!!!!!

These guys should have been HUGE. I guess the world isn’t ready.

“They should play these guys more often”

It's a crime that this band was mostly ignored and forgotten. I just looked this one up out of the blue since I hadn't heard it in 25 years or so.

It's weird. I can tell all the musicians are talented and the singer has a good voice. But I haven't heard one song by this band that's catchy or enjoyable to me. They're just all over the place. The chord progression and song structure are kinda boring to me. The melody of the vocals just sounds drawn out and not really original. All my personal opinions. I'm sure the fans would argue with me but I'm just being brutality honest here. It sucks because they're all talented i just can't find a one damn song I can get into.

@@captainbuzzkill4658 I can understand. They were never too popular at any point, but had a following. Some of their material was experimental, more let's-groove-and-see-if-we-land-on-a-great-song as opposed to great songwriting, but every now and then they'd hit on a tune that I liked a lot. I haven't heard them on any radio or streaming platform in almost 30 years now, which makes me wonder if very few people ever liked them as much as I do. C'est la vie, I guess.

The sign of a great band is one that is better live than they are in the studio. Fishbone , as good as their recorded albums are; were an amazing live experience.

@bchwarrior45 The fact that you are not aware that Fishbone preceded Living Colour by several years just demonstrates how under-promoted they were by Columbia, the mainstream music press and MTV. They just didn't fit into the mold of what they thought music played by "black folk" should sound like. "Fishone leapt from a great height...Did you catch them?"

That guitar player has some clean sounding tapping licks. Damn clean sounding guitar rig. 👍

Yeah it was a lot more meaty than red hot chili peppers- Give a Monkey a Brain was also sublime. It was also the time Prince was making his most rocking albums. The nineties creative burst. Problem is Fishbone was probably too black somehow even though they played all those styles and had a very white audience.

I'm in there somewhere. We broke off part of the flag and we were the ones using it as a trampoline near the back of the crowd. Can't see myself though. :( Fantasic gig, "Pray To the Junkiemaker" was almost a religious experience, if I wasnt an athiest. Had to sleep in Victoria train station overnight in the freezing October/november chill of London.

Easily the best live band ever, simply the best ever

we been around a long time. It's just now more excepted is all I've loved them when I was a little kid and now I love them so much more. They helped me see the world through my own expectations and not just what's expected of you.

such kick-butt, incredible musician's right in your face to punch moral injustice right in the face! you guy's make any day!

FUN FUN live band. Missing them tonight, as we speak

That's actually some interesting guitar work. These guys rock.

Prophetic words from a truly great and grossly underrated band!✊

Yeah. So this song makes so much sense to me now. I never knew what the hell they were talking about. Now... I do. They predicted the future

Now More Than Ever.

This song cuts out just as their getting into it! I wants more horns.

Man I miss the 90's... remember when there weren't rules?

I REALLY love the Fishbone songs where you can hear Kendall's heavier influence.

I remember this era. Hearing the beefy chuggy guitars underneath all the funk was a novel idea at the time and it worked. Fishbone wasn't even Nu-Metal, but they fit in perfectly, crushing many other established acts that chose the cookie cutter approach. I remember being in a band at the time and I heard we were going to open for Fishbone and crapped my pants because I was a rookie vocalist. Show fell through, but it was nice to be considered. Oh, and I got some new pants.

2020 and fishbone crossover is still unbeatable.... hear this young bands! Try to copy this if you can...
