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.
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.
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.
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!!!!'
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!
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
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.
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
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
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..
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Saw the original lineup in 1990 with Primas as the opening act. Both bands were the real deal back then. Spyz never got the mainstream success,but college radio love them.
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.
I remember hearing Servitude for the 1st time and thinking, uh-oh, Fishbone done opened a big 'ol can of whoop-ass! This was their heaviest song at that time. Their music lifts me up every time I listen.
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.
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.
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
Thirty years old and stands up to anything produced today 🤘🏻
One of the best goddamn metal songs EVER 🤘🏻
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....
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.
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
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!
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.

Love that nasty guitar riff starting at 3:39. Fishbone was such such a talented and versatile band.
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
This is one of my favorite riffs ever and the lyrics are just amazingly poignant.
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!!!!'
Never tired of listen to this.
What a masterpiece.
Still relevant up today.
Totally
These guys so ahead of their time, it's amazing.
AHEAD OF IT S TIME! 🎤 🎸 🥁
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!
WOW TALK ABOUT UNDERRATED MUSICIANS.....
Total class! Fishbone are so underrated..
+Dwight Shalders Total racist bullshit :-/
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 the right type of music, that we have always needed.
Sad I'm 45 and just realizing how awesome and heavy they are. I loved Fight the Youth and Swim.
Better late than never!
I'm sad I had to type in black rock bands to hear about them ! they're literally everything I've been looking for
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
@@noisedept.5184 umm... no

Luv this band. I got hip to Fishbone around 1987..."When Problems Arise." Come on!!!!!!!!!!!
Did know they been around during the 80s
Absolutely crushing it. The guitar note at 3:40 gives me goosebumps every time. He pulls that feedback and works it like a pro.

Well delivered my dude
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.
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.
Fishbone had well written compositions .
So underrated for a powerhouse band like this.
They are the most talented musicians ever. So many genres covered. All the messages different. Fishbone wrote the soundtrack of life.
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
This song is all kinds of badass!
This song is such a raw projection of Kendall's soul. It breaks my heart to know he wasn't there to perform it.
Chris Dowd has an amazing voice!
They are the prime example of Raw Talent....a lot of bands and singers need to take notes from these men
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
well said!
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...
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
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!
Amazing Band. Clever lyrics and unpredictable.
That sustained whammy note still crucifies me!!!
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.
Respect Fishbone.
2024. still serving, just saying
Is your honor judged by men?
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
These were the days, my friends
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
Had the pleasure of seeing them live in Holland a few times in the early 90s. Nothing better than these guys!
FISHBONE DID BLOW UP IN THE MINDS OF MILLIONS DON'T GET IT CONFUSED
FISHBONE SOLDIER !
Great band, rock, soul, reggae, Rnb, all in the mix, should have been far bigger than they was
Hail to fishbone ! Big hugs from France 🇫🇷 🤘 ❤️
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.
Such an underrated album. Top 5 all time, so textured yet melodic and heavy. Their message is needed in these times too
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 !
Criminally unappreciated for far too long.
Absolute beast of a track. The power... Love it. Love them. Lyrics more poignant today than ever. Criminally underrated.

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.
Saw you guys LIVE in Belgium back in 93... ROCKWOOD
STILL the greatest song recorded after all these decades ❤
never heard of them till about ten minutes ago, not bad
Happy 51st.Birthday Angelo cheers!!!!!!! I Love U Bro.
Fishbone were such an influence when i was a young musician. They were unfortunately ahead of their time.
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.
One of the greatest rock tunes ever written
That the Red Hot Chili Peppers are millionaires and Fishbone swim in obscurity sickens me to no end.

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.
Should be a love button
Holy crap, great band! How is this my first time hearing them?
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.
We are stoked to have Fish Bone playing Ocean Aid Hawaii April 30 2017 These guys ROCK !!
I totally see how incubus, taproot etc. was influenced. This album was ahead of its time.
Saw the original lineup in 1990 with Primas as the opening act. Both bands were the real deal back then. Spyz never got the mainstream success,but college radio love them.
No me canso de escuchar este track buenísimos los fishbone
No me canso de escuchar esta rola buenísimos los fishbone yeaahh saludos desde EL SALVADOR
4:13 is such a good riff and I need to hear more of it!
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 🤣🤣🤣
This is something, a black rock band...DAMN!!!😎
Love this band !
Fishbone ever an ever
Love this song...one of their best ever.

So badass and original
Nobody does like FISHBONE, a musical buffet.
I yes
This so Badass💜🔮🏄🏾♀️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I remember hearing Servitude for the 1st time and thinking, uh-oh, Fishbone done opened a big 'ol can of whoop-ass! This was their heaviest song at that time. Their music lifts me up every time I listen.
Sunless Saturday kicks ass too boy
Timeless classic and one of best rock songs ever
Saw them live last december. Bragged to my teacher about it and HE said HE saw them in the 80S.
Feh.
This is my first time hearing this, and all I can say is I'm glad I did it. I'm fucking blown away.
Same here
Time WARP ?
I know! So technical and underrated!
They will always have a place in my collection.
This sounds like something people would call original if it came out today.
God damn this is good.
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.
this is a really cool guitar solo, and this is the first thing I've seen by these guys, never heard of them till now
Just eternally stunning. The perfect song.
What an awesome track. Fishbone fuckin rock!!!!
Slamming 😮love it long live Fishbone ❤
Love and respect from Frankfurt Germany 🍻
