Same thing with the Peppers, who was heavily influenced by Fishbone. Both were local L.A. bands and I with a group of my friends used to always go see them play at the Whiskey A Go Go. There was no age limit there so there was no hassle with us getting in. I've met Angelo, Fish and several other members of the group several times. My band even gigged with Fish's brother Lonnie and his band Weapon of Choice. Fishbone is no joke. Highly underrated band. Very similar to Parliament-Funkadelic. Not in sound perse' but in concept. Fishbone played a variety of forms of music; rock, jazz, ska, funk, and through it all together. They were wild as hell back in the days.
Funkadelic is an amazing band. Just amazing. Both bands, have done something to my conscious thinking. I wild-out on both their music. I can dig it. I remember seeing Fishbone on Soul Train when they covered "Freddie's Dead". The audience was just kinda standing there, looking like somebody had just broke into their house and stole all of their shit....They couldn't fuck with Fishbone at all. Every single time I've seen Fishbone live, besides myself, it might have been 2 other black folks there. At the max. And I always thought that was too bad. Fishbone is as black as u can get. Just like Funkadelic was/is. A lot of cats miss that. SynthiaRose said "I'm in love with blackguitaristz. Especially when he talks about Hendrix."

 ! Back in the day we had the same manager/booking agent and played many shows together. I still think Kendall Jones is one underrated guitarist, never getting the true props he deserved cause that cat played a gang of guitar and did it well! Now with Rocky George in the crew, the guitar happenings just keep on coming! LONG LIVE THE BONE!!!!! And Norwood gets a super thumbs up for penning one of my fave FB toonz, Lemon Meringue!damn Jimi, i always dreamed seeing you guys perform together. must've missed my city! Kendall is still doing it, huh? gotta check it out! | |

I always try to comment on them when a thread comes up. Loved them since Truth and Soul. BTW, one of the best albums of all time! Most would agree, the golden era is 1985-1993. Everything they released during this era is a classic. Many line-up changes and several albums later, they are still going strong and releasing quality music. Do check them out. There is supposed to be a documentary coming out on them. Not sure of the release date. Fishbone's DVD is coming out int November 2008, they are also going to record a new album this year. The last one was sickkkkk, check out Still STuck in Your THroat. Yesssss, the Bone lives on. | |
