Ha ha ha...LMFAO!!!
"Mingus meets Iron Maiden, with Angelo singing"...yup, pretty much!
I love their new line-up, Spacey-T is one of my new favorite guitarists (all that time working with Eddie Hazel apparently rubbed off on him...that solo in "Are U Wit It" just SCREAMS).

I suppose. I'm just being Devil's Advocate -- as I really couldn't give less of a damn about it -- but it just sort've smacks of double-standardism to decry one party's homophobia -- then adopt a moniker that could quite conceivably be interpretted as misogynist.

Well, basically, at one point during that show, Angelo or Kendall basically started a rant how "WE AIN'T ALL ABOUT THIS MAN BEING WITH ANOTHER MAN SHIT!".. and they went on and on and on...without any context. Unprovoked verbal fag ashing for no reason whatsoever. Even some of the frat boys in the audience were wondering what fuck they were on about for a while. It was pretty disgusting. It took the wind out of Fishbone loving sails, that's for sure.
about "bitch", well it was a common word in my household for as long as I remember, since my mother has long been a participant at dog shows for many years, and always had her female Great Danes shown...

And I will defend Monkey... and Reality..., at least in parts. Truth and Soul is sometimes (often, really) the greatest album in the world.
― Austin S (Austin, Still), Friday, 25 March 2005 21:06 (nineteen years ago) link
The release of "The Reality of My Surroundings" may be one of my greatest ever musical disappointments... I love melodicism and songcraft, and the band jettisoned them almost entirely. At the time I assumed it was the lack of David Kahne's influence and that bust-up with whoever in the band getting cultified. But maybe it was a more accurate reflection of their live shows.

C/D: Fishbone
Do they still play "Fat Chicks" live? I remember them doing different versions of it over the years, and thinking they were singing "Fascist" the first time I saw 'em, when they opened for the Beastie Boys circa '87.
Did they invent "U-G-L-Y/you ain't got no alibi/you ugly" or did they swipe that from a schoolyard chant?

`Cos they haven't made a record worth listening to in over a decade. That's why.

― frogbs, Wednesday, 31 January 2018 22:24 (six years ago) link
It was them doing Everyday Sunshine that got them banned from the show, for running long.Great that Fish is back! They better tour. Right now Angelo is touring as part of that David Bowie tribute.

Cos I'm listening to That Recoird Got Me High talking about XTC.
Has been a while since I really got into listening to them but they did play some memorable shows at the turn of the 90s I was very glad I got to see.Shame the guitarist went odd sect Xian again.& loved the keyboardists songs as reworked by jeff Huckley. Thought that song was one of the best things i heard Jeff Buckley play live and thunk it was a song written about his estranged dad. Until I heard it was actually mainly written by Chris the keyboardist with this bunch.

I remember seeing this live on TV. I love that they're so tight they can just improvise their way to a second ending, even if they allegedly got banned from SNL for it (as if they'd ever get asked on again):

nice!!! I used to watch SNL reruns all the time as a teenager and this was the one time the musical guest made me go "what the fuck was that". "Sunless Saturday" was even crazier than that!!
― frogbs, Wednesday, 21 September 2022 04:22 (two years ago) link
They were fantast9c love at the turn of the 90s. Used to do 2 hour + shows that remained energetic throughout.Fantastic musicians.I remember following Rollins Band a the same time and seeing their tour itineraries where Fishbone had a printed one complete with setlists before the show and managed to make the versions differ heavily between shows whereas Rollins had a handwritten one but at least appeared to say exactly the same thing at exactly the same point each night. Not sure how much versions of songs varied night to night but it was pretty intense so worth seeing.
Haven't checked them out much since so not sure if lineup has changed massively. I think the last time I was really hearing about them the guitarist had joined a christian cult or had a christian cult he had been involved with interfering with him. That and the keyboard player having co written a song Jeff Buckley did which sounded extremely personal to him and his relationship with his dad.
― Stevolende, Wednesday, 21 September 2022 07:25 (two years ago) link
fantastic live that is
