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.
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..
Yea this band should of been as big as chili pepper just another Unsung rock band :( music industry is just rigged like a casino slot machine :( they are FANTSTIC!!!!'
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.
Most people never learn. There's been music like this for over a 100 years. And almost nobody get the message. They just think its a good song and don't look at the lyrics
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.
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.
that'a why I love bands like fishbone and faith no more, they made music that they liked , fans and records labels cannot put them in a particular genre
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.
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.
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!
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!!!
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
I saw fishbone 6 times and every time blown away by the😅 energy there musical talent as a cohesive band. What a talent. Do your sel w favor and give. A listen
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.
@@stanleyipkiss6248 Primus, Alice in Chains, Dinosaur Jr., Fishbone, Arrested Development, Tool, and Rage Against the Machine. Talk about an epic line up.
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.
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.
Today marks the 25th anniversary of the filming of this video - July 13, 1993. The outdoor shots are from their Lollapalooza set at Waterloo Village in NJ and the club footage is from the Limelight in NYC later that night.
I was at the Limelight performance. The interesting part is that you actually had to buy a ticket to see the Judybats show with King Missile as the opening act and then you could stay for Fishbone. My friend and I were huge King Missile and Fishbone fans, so it was perfect for us. Fishbone brought out guests from Lollapalooza like Tim Alexander from Primus, and members of Alice in Chains and Arrested Development. The club kept warning Fishbone that their time was running out but they kept performing until the club literally cut their power off, ending the show. Awesome night!
Fishbone consider thier music nutmeg like a mix of everything because they do all different types of music ska,alternative, raggae,punk, even gospel sometimes

Flea has always said he learned bass from Norwood, and considering how much of a bad ass Flea is on bass, that's saying a lot!
RHCP are fuckwitts, what they did to Mike Patton was eye opening. All jealousy.
@@freudianslippers6567 I guess you could say it was a Midlife Crisis
They didn't have the name.
Without Fishbone, we wouldn't have gotten bands like Sevendust
I don't think some here realize how old Fishbone actually is. They've been making music since 1979.
Damm
Wowee
They influenced red hots and many groups… they started all those genres of music… and they actually been doing music since 1976
Look up the fishbone video don’t take my word for it… they are the original goats
Saw them live camp zoe unfortunately they didnt play this
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..
Thank you
sick song
Then they became Trump cultists.......Gen z failures. Man what happened to us
Thanks
Fishbone and Bad Brains are the sound of my youth. They continue to be the soundtrack of my life.
Right on 💯💯
Seriously, black rock bands- no one holds a candle to them musically. Living Colour, Fishbone, 24/7 Spyz, Bad Brains, Screaming Headless Torsos....
I don't think anything today can hold a candle to this band and or this song specifically. Totally underrated!!
+Eduardo Rodriguez Living Colour, Open Letter to the Landlord pretty deep and hard
+dale85300 ate People by Living Colour, Bowels of the Devil,Body Count
Mastodon, opeth, textures, baroness. all phenomenal bands broman dude dog homie
Program by Living Colour has a similar message.
Music is not the same, I think it died in the beginning of the 2000s. To be fair some stuff is good in recent times but not like the 90s.
I wore this cassette tape out. This band should have been as big as the Chilipeppers.
Q deMayo You know why they were not as big as any group of a certain ethnic lineage playing this style!
THEY SHOULD BE ETERNALLY GRATEFUL TO FISH,AND,WOODSTRAW,WHO PRODUCED THEY'RE FIRST TWO EFFORTS!!!
Q deMayo "This band should have been as big as the Chilipeppers." BIGGER !
Q deMayo Much better than the peppers
Yea this band should of been as big as chili pepper just another Unsung rock band :( music industry is just rigged like a casino slot machine :( they are FANTSTIC!!!!'

Lollapalooza 1993. These guys were sick as fuck. Angelo is one of the coolest musicians I have ever met. Long live the Bone!
Man Fishbone has no boundaries. I saw them at Lolapalooza 93 in South Florida. Kendall needs to come back
I've seen Fishbone about a dozen times, including Lollapalooza '93. Definitely one the greatest live bands of all time!
Still are!
Take note people. They're wailing out some prophetic words we should have gave more credence to. Chains are breaking, minds are waking...
The message of this song is way too confrontational for most Americans to face. They don't wanna hear it.
@@Craig-dv3ji well then let's play Unyielding Conditioning for them first
"Should have given". The past participle of "gave" is "[have] given."
Carry on.
Most people never learn. There's been music like this for over a 100 years. And almost nobody get the message. They just think its a good song and don't look at the lyrics
This is how you fucking rock!
And the lyrics are brilliant.
Most underrated band of all time. Fishbone For LIFE!
they have a documentary check it out
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.
Thirty years old and stands up to anything produced today 🤘🏻
Yeah, you're right mate. This song in particular could have been a killer in any of the last four decades. And those blokes could play anything.
Never tired of listen to this.
What a masterpiece.
Still relevant up today.
Totally
One of the most prophetic songs ever written. Fight me.
nope!
It has always been like this, one way or the other.
Hey...I'm a 75 year old Australian.....and still lovin this band.
Fight me and my kangaroo 🤣🤣🤣
The most criminally underrated band ever, with the possible exception of The Pogues.
bigmarty11288 and *King's X*
And 24/7 Spyz
King's x, Fishbone and 24-7 spyz, the real deal
Candiria as well but I highly doubt anyone watching this is on that musical side of the spectrum haha
@@Ikebixcezare very influential for the mathcore movement, really a great band
These guys so ahead of their time, it's amazing.
AHEAD OF IT S TIME! 🎤 🎸 🥁
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...
No. It does not beat slipknot. Sorry. It's good though.
Straight up, kills knot

Either way you put it “Sevitude “ has to be the heaviest 🐠 bone cuts I’ve ever ever heard..
(IMO). 🎺🤟🏽
If you think labels weren't the same back then as they are now, I have some bad news...
that'a why I love bands like fishbone and faith no more, they made music that they liked , fans and records labels cannot put them in a particular genre
Music wasn't allowed to be fun, crazy and free back then either. Fishbone insisted to do it that way nonetheless and paid a price for it.
This is one of my favorite riffs ever and the lyrics are just amazingly poignant.
One of the best goddamn metal songs EVER 🤘🏻
Love that nasty guitar riff starting at 3:39. Fishbone was such such a talented and versatile band.
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.

WOW TALK ABOUT UNDERRATED MUSICIANS.....
I'm sad I had to type in black rock bands to hear about them ! they're literally everything I've been looking for
Lots of talk of underrated talents and rhcp. Living colour anyone?
I still quite regularly listen to Living Colour. They're incredible. As are Fishbone.
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.
They probably would. Also, it would be pretty dope if they did a tour with Living Colour
That's where liberalism will get you!!
@@wilfordgrimley4339 what does that have to do with anything? They're talking about live shows and you bring politics into it? Loser
Sad I'm 45 and just realizing how awesome and heavy they are. I loved Fight the Youth and Swim.
Better late than never!
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 were the days, my friends
This song is such a raw projection of Kendall's soul. It breaks my heart to know he wasn't there to perform it.
They are the prime example of Raw Talent....a lot of bands and singers need to take notes from these men
Chris Dowd has an amazing voice!

Did know they been around during the 80s
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.

That must be me. I'd love a full album from Fishbone in this direction and sound. Not into the ska stuff, like at all...
This song is all kinds of badass!
FISHBONE DID BLOW UP IN THE MINDS OF MILLIONS DON'T GET IT CONFUSED
FISHBONE SOLDIER !
FO LIFE
1 band that I travel through my journey of life.
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!
Fun Fact: The band members of Fishbone are friends of AIC. Angelo and Norwood both played in Jerry's first album.
Percebi isso também, levando em conta que conheci essa banda pela homenagem que fizeram ao alice in chains em 2020.
They are the most talented musicians ever. So many genres covered. All the messages different. Fishbone wrote the soundtrack of life.
Great band, rock, soul, reggae, Rnb, all in the mix, should have been far bigger than they was
Amazing Band. Clever lyrics and unpredictable.
Criminally unappreciated for far too long.
This song kicks all the asses in the world
even kicks the asses of people with no ass..... they just get phantom pain where their ass should be...
now that my friend is amusing !
Fishbone were such an influence when i was a young musician. They were unfortunately ahead of their time.
I totally see how incubus, taproot etc. was influenced. This album was ahead of its time.
Falando do Brasil, esse som do Fishbone estava muito a frente do seu tempo!
Era New Metal antes de existir New Metal...
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.
2017 and still kicking out !!!! great band !! one the best metal songs ever !!
Héctor López not metal duh
@Brian Stevenson. This song is very Metal
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.
STILL the greatest song recorded after all these decades ❤
Saw you guys LIVE in Belgium back in 93... ROCKWOOD
This so is so underrated. Fishbone are legendary and so musically talented and diverse. Big ups to you guys!
It's time for the Fishbone UNSUNG
Absolutely crushing it. The guitar note at 3:40 gives me goosebumps every time. He pulls that feedback and works it like a pro.
I saw fishbone 6 times and every time blown away by the😅 energy there musical talent as a cohesive band. What a talent. Do your sel w favor and give. A listen

A "Kendall Jones LIVE Cam" Blu-ray, I would buy in a heartbeat !! C'mon Fishbone, give it to us!
You just don’t see band like Fishbone anymore, it’s a real shame, peeps these days haven’t heard of them.
never heard of them till about ten minutes ago, not bad
i love everything fishbone has done, every phase of their evolution oozes awesomeness
Dang. I can’t believe how fresh this still sounds. Oh the memories. Thank you Fishbone!

This one song from this band, influenced metal from 1997-2001.
Before Living Colour was discovered. This band was it and wasn't getting any airplay. Kickass band, the world wasn't ready for them.
Had the pleasure of seeing them live in Holland a few times in the early 90s. Nothing better than these guys!
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.
Fishbone ever an ever
Absolute beast of a track. The power... Love it. Love them. Lyrics more poignant today than ever. Criminally underrated.

That's how u fuckin' rock out at a show
pure fucking energy bro i would say RATM, Patton and Biohazard are some of the only dudes i seen who have similar intensity levels
And every one of them would say Fishbone was an Influence too.
