I'm a 39 year old black man that have never heard of this band. Bored at home last week I watched a documentary about the band and was blew away at how long they have been around. I really like this song and now somewhat a fan of their music.
Marcus Heath Also check out a band called Living Colour & another called The Family Stand, both Black Rock. There's a lot of Living Colour on You Tube, old & new. They're still together & touring and better than ever.
Marcus Heath Also, there was a band called Follow For Now, also the name of their only album. You can find it on Amazon for under a buck. The same energy as Fishbone. Also google Black Rock Coalition
This band was a huge huge HUGE influence on me, as a young black kid who loved hard rock, this was the first band that rocked out good where the members looked like me. back then the only black people you saw in rock music was the occasional drummer or bassist with a white singer and guitarist up front getting all the love.
TheMortalez Yep I used to hear this song all the time on Z-Rock and I loved it, it was months before I knew they were black and after finding out i was even more impressed, it could not have been easy for them to get that much radio play back then, but they were just that fucking good. Sadly I think if they were white or of the vin diesel/jennifer beals variety of black they would have been even more popular. but times are changing thankfully and those things dont matter as much, as evidence by the last time I saw this band in 2009 and the crowd was a bunch of white kids who would have been babies when this video was made.
still gives me goosebumps after all these years... Those harmonies, Norwood's bass playing, Angelo's singing, the heaviness of the guitars, it all blends so niceely and still sounds so fresh today
You’ll be happy to know they ended the show in Portland tonight with this song. My fist was in the air the whole time and I was crying like a baby. I can relate.
Greatest bands ever saw them at the Hollywood palladium in the 90s and Angelo crowd surfed across the floor then climbed up the balcony and jumped back on the crowd and surfed back to the stage awesome performance
You are correct. They should’ve been huge. At the time the label had the opportunity to back and promote a highly talented all Black California Rock band. Or, an up and coming all White California Funk/Rock band. They went with the all White band, better known as The Red Hot Chili Peppers.
In the words of the late and great lemmy from motorhead tell them to shove it. I can't stand that shit why should race determine what should or shouldn't be liked by someone?
How a band that has influenced so many other bands that are now in the hall of fame and they’re not in is a fucking disgrace. I absolutely love these guys and they are one of the most underrated, genre busting, talented, influential bands of all time! Fucking phenomenal!
I just saw them play in Santa Cruz w/ Les Claypool and the Frog Brigade. They still have all the urgency and energy that they’ve always had! Angelo Moore was handing out setlists and I finally got to geek out on playing Theremin, showed him my Theremin/pedalboard and it turns out we both played the Moog Etherwave Plus Theremin. So much positivity and sincerity from him. 😊
Show in Edmonton in 93 ... my friends and I were right at the side of the stage where they kept gear cases and stuff. Norwood was walking by to take the stage and sees me smoking a cig. Bums one, goes onstage and starts killing it. A couple songs in he sparks up a spliff, smokes half and tosses me the rest. All while wearing nothing but a towel that's about to fall off. Good times.
So much of their material is so fundamental. RHCP wouldn't be a thing without them. They're foundational! Saw them live on Shrooms in 2023 in PDX and they blew my mind in unspeakable ways. All I can say is I hope to see them live again soon. They're fundamental to Funk/Ska/Punk and Rock, it's shocking they haven't gotten bigger! I found out about them via Los Mal Hablados, a Skacore band in PDX. And they truly enlightened a lot to my music standards. Now I can't live without Fishbone because of them lol
Yeah, this song is SICK and Fishbone shoulda been HUGE in 1991 but keep in mind RHCP was an underground band back then. And so were Soundgarden, Nirvana... the list goes on and on. Only us "freaks" listened to these groups in an era when Warrant, Whitesnake, and Poison were still chart toppers. But all that stopped in October of that year. By June of 1992 everybody was singing ""Give It Away," spandex was dead, and Chris Cornell was a household name but Fishbone never got the recognition they deserved.
Fishbone - Sunless Saturday I see the pestilence outside my window I see the dung heaps piled at least a mile high I see the shards of shattered dreams in the street I face the morning with my customary sigh Whoa-oh-oh! Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh! I hear the sounds of children laughing aloud A stumbling wino has attracted quite a crowd My breakfast finished now I brave the outside But clouds have hidden all the warmth inside Chase these clouds away I hate this sunless Saturday Chase these clouds away I hate this sunless Saturday Freedom come (Freedom come) For us now . (For us now) Light our sky (Light our sky) Burn away These clouds Yeah! Perhaps the charcoal grey and brown around me Is just the mirror image of tainted soul I think the sun will never visit my sky Until the truth is seen by each and every eye Whoa-oh-oh! Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh! Chase these clouds away I hate this sunless Saturday Freedom come (Freedom come) For us now . (For us now) Light our sky (Light our sky) Burn away These clouds I see the helpless and I see the insane I see a pauper singing in the pouring rain I see the means of help elude us again I think the sun will never visit me again Whoa-oh-oh! Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh! Chase these clouds away I hate this sunless Saturday Saturday! Saturday! Saturday! Sunless Saturday! Oh-yeah-haa-yeah! Saturday! Saturday! Sunless Saturday! Sunless Saturday! Oh-yeah-haa-yeah!
This album was one of those "headphone albums" for me. Plug in, tune everything else out and let this one soak in. Man, they were at the peak of their powers here! Such a great point in time for music. Living Colour, 24-7 Spyz, Follow for Now and the mighty Fishbone. What great memories.
@@grampagamingguy6833 GAHHH! Curse you for being right yet again. Speaking of Body Count, i just recently watched a video of them doing a cover of Raining Blood by Slayer! It was a beautiful thing to behold.
When I was a kid after the fall of the iron curtain one of my positive first impressions about The West of the west was Fishbones videos on MTV. I didn't understand the lyrics just loved the vibe of the music. I still really like them.
This song from the reality of my surroundings album is awesome. I have to say it’s a shame that Fishbone never really got the attention they deserve from the masses. My favorite album from Fishbone is Truth and Soul is an extraordinary piece of work I can’t think of anything like it an absolute classic in my opinion.
Never heard of these guys, but went on my Spotify discover weekly and this song came up. It became my 2nd most listened to song of 2021. Still bumping this. Such a masterpiece
I remember when this hit in the early 90s,,,,,,,,This is neutron bomb musicianship, absolutely zero quarter given. First time I heard this, I went looking for their other material and found out that FB are a whole lot more than this....Brilliant song, Shows all those 'metal' pretenders of the era how its done...and with an undiluted message to boot. ...Badass, Brilliant, uncompromising...what else you want???
Hands down the best show I ever saw was Fishbone at First Avenue in Minneapolis. Think it was like 1993. The band (especially Angelo) were absolutely at full throttle giving 150% for a good 90 minutes. It was crazy the way they commanded the audience. The pit went from pure chaos to actual dancing just by playing the next song. Then back to pure chaos. There has never been anyone that can touch their live show.
That's right on the button. I saw them at The Santa Monica Civic Center back in 87. They were totally awesome. Like 2 hrs of punk rock reggae sounds mixed with funk n soul. Rock on brothers and sisters.
I wholeheartedly agree. I saw them in a small venue in Australia in the early 90s. I’ve seen a LOT of live music & these guys were full tilt talent & huge energy. I’ll never forget & this track is a favourite of mine. I was lucky to see Living Colour at another small venue too. Blessed to have those memories. ❤
I travelled to New York last year to see George Clinton & P-Funk in Port Chester, and Fishbone supported them. I never heard or seen them at all prior to the show. But when watching them, I was astonished beyond belief! They were so incredible, and I've been a fan ever since! I hope they come back to Australia so I could see them one last time. I also regret not getting a photo with Angelo upon talking to him, because the man's got a heart of gold and is so nice to talk to!
One of the best shows i saw with these guys was in BC Canada. Customs refused one of their horn players into canada. So they got word out and a young clean cut white guy stood in for the show. It was an amazing show and the guy did a fantastic job with literally last minute notice. He didnt miss a beat and Fishbone welcomed him like their own. Truly class these guys are !
Classic , and highly underated . These guys were seriously skilled and tight musicians , they had a positive message and intense energy. Even now what ever projects they are working on i wish these musicians the best and thx for years of great work.
THX my dear and beloved Fisbone for yor music! Come back again to Vienna, Austria, Europe. Please, I, we need you to blow away those sunless days, ;) Cheerio, fil of WH.
See these fncking awesome dudes about 4 times. Smoked out with them after one of their shows. Angelo was freestyling his poetry out front in a tent before their set at Lollapalooza. Unknown by soooooo many. Sad.
I originally got into Fishbone because of their ska roots... but this has to be my fave of their songs without a trace of that ska sound.. damn this shit slaps HARD!
This band was a huge huge HUGE influence on me, as a young black kid who loved hard rock, this was the first band that rocked out good where the members looked like me. back then the only black people you saw in rock music was the occasional drummer or bassist with a white singer and guitarist up front getting all the love.
I grew up with this song, this song helped me in rough times. Im 16 now and i know this song all of my life because of my dad. Im very thankful he let me listen to this music!
I JUST saw Fishbone live at a club in detroit. Yes they're still at it, but I think this may be their farewell tour. They haven't lost it one bit, it was the rockingest craziest show I've ever been to-they opened with this song, and just exploded.
This song is not political; it's not racial. The reason this song is great is that it's about depression, plain and simple. We can be depressed for different reasons, but it's part of the universal human condition. *Liked*
Well you made it racial, because i don't see comments on Aerosmith or Nirvana's video having to state: "This song is not racial or political". You just made a "thing" about a black band making a song that isn't about race or politics. But you know they have plenty of songs about those subjects.
Lifelong Fishbone fan here and while I’m nervous about the upcoming changes to the band, I’m optimistic Fishbone will continue to deliver amazing music and amazing live shows.
My older brothers used to listen to this group, they had a VHS tape with a lot of their music videos.. when I was a little girl this video used to scare me because of the children in cages lol but I always liked the song.
That bass, the sound, the thump, and the actual visual stand-up bass in the video, that's what I always loved about this song. The video though, that young kid, standing on a wall playing air guitar, perfect!
Fishbone was always a head of their time! So happy I got to see them a few times in their prime.... Their energy was amazing! Now sharing them with my son who is my age when I seen them.
I had a friend who was the lead singer/lead guitar in a local Dallas band and he said he hung out with Fishbone one night and said that lead singer is crazy in person too, it’s not just an act or something lol. He said they all were cool though and very nice.
Seen them live in Sydney. Never seen such energy in any performance! Absolutely awesome. Great playing and singer is unbelievable,like he's possessed by the music. Incredible to watch.❤😮
I attended High School with these guys.. they were a band back in 1983..The band leader Angelo Moore was an unique dancer. He taught me dance moves that defies Gravity...Great Human to share his skill set. I still dance those moves today in my 50. It won me alot of attention over the decades.. Thanks Angelo
This is absolute GOLD..bought "the reality of my surroundings" after seeing this video on MTV !! And heey the rest of the album does not really suck!! Fishbone should have been massive ok!!😁😁💗
![Bloodhound Gang - Uhn Tiss Uhn Tiss Uhn Tiss (Explicit) [Official Video]](/img/n.gif)
I still remember them playing this on Saturday Night Live.
Legendary performancehad it taped on VHS!!
Upload it!
@@flattfun Yes plaease !
@@capraitalia Upload it please?
They don’t show it! They don’t show Dionne Farris either!!
One of the greatest live bands i’ve ever seen.
Mindblowing!
Serious energy for fecking sure
Truth, Angelo does not call it in.
Yep!
I saw them in the mid 90's, its the only concert ive been too where that band posed a physical threat.
Growing up in the 80’s. This is an anthem. Lyrics are genius. Sadly “Until the truth is seen by each and every eye”. We may never see
I love that the bass isn't "mixed" out of existence with this band. It's prominent in the mix and I love it.
If you see the size of Norwood Fisher you’d understand. 😅
Absolutely! And not just it is clearly audible in the mix, but, oh geezis, that TONE! 😎🤘
I remember seeing this Video on MTV 120 minutes when The Reality Of My Surroundings first came out. I have been a HUGE Fishbone fan ever since
I'm a 39 year old black man that have never heard of this band. Bored at home last week I watched a documentary about the band and was blew away at how long they have been around. I really like this song and now somewhat a fan of their music.
saw this documentary also...im also a new fan!
from one black man to another check out Bad Brains,ive been listening to this band and fishbone since i was a kid,im 46 and still into it
Marcus Heath Fishbone Rocks. Check out the first 4 albums especially w the original line-up. Get a t-shirt or 2 while you're at it.
Marcus Heath Also check out a band called Living Colour & another called The Family Stand, both Black Rock. There's a lot of Living Colour on You Tube, old & new. They're still together & touring and better than ever.

Check out the documentary/film "Eveyday Sunshine" about the band. It's brilliant.
Let's not forget Living Colour. Another immensely talented band.
Brimstone Jack
yes but they were a little more commercial but not by much.
The documentary/film about the band "Everyday Sunshine" is seriously good. Well worth watching if you haven't seen it yet.
still gives me goosebumps after all these years... Those harmonies, Norwood's bass playing, Angelo's singing, the heaviness of the guitars, it all blends so niceely and still sounds so fresh today
🤘🏽👍🏽

You’ll be happy to know they ended the show in Portland tonight with this song. My fist was in the air the whole time and I was crying like a baby. I can relate.
Hearing that intro segue to that awesome Mesa Boogie riff instantly made me a fan

Holy crap! Why didn't I hear about these guys 30 years ago?
This band was so far ahead of their time they're STILL ahead of their time.
if ever there was a band that should've made a zillion dollars and been huge.
Maybe their label didn't know how to sell them, and they didn't care to be sold.
@ Well, technically they did, but it was with a Grunge album that didn't work, so I guess you are technically right, after all.
no jew connection. requisite in L.A.
You are correct. They should’ve been huge. At the time the label had the opportunity to back and promote a highly talented all Black California Rock band. Or, an up and coming all White California Funk/Rock band. They went with the all White band, better known as The Red Hot Chili Peppers.
@@bobthebear1246 Dude...GAMAB is an epic album. Reality will always be their best, but don;t diss Give a Monkey a Brain.
To all the black people that got teased by our own people for liking OUR OWN music...This is for us!
In the words of the late and great lemmy from motorhead tell them to shove it. I can't stand that shit why should race determine what should or shouldn't be liked by someone?
❤
I hung out with them in the Antenna Club in Memphis
I'm not black, but I'm down with this comment.
Music is music. Im sorry people are dense 😮
Q: Is Fishbone, Funk, Punk, Ska, Reggae, Prog, Metal? A: Yes!
Red Hot Chilli Peppers owes a ton to this band
@@ELEcomments no , gg Mr.Bungle
Perfect
You are all correct.
now there is an idea - Fishbone do YES
.
liking it a lot :)
How a band that has influenced so many other bands that are now in the hall of fame and they’re not in is a fucking disgrace. I absolutely love these guys and they are one of the most underrated, genre busting, talented, influential bands of all time! Fucking phenomenal!
Song of the decade in my opinion. Song for the ages.
i still miss those songs about wbru ;)
The whole album is killer but this is absolutely timeless.
creedadamtate its a perfect way to end the album too
Yes this song is what I heard when I was teenager that got me hooked to fishbone
Preach my brother
love this song. Fishbone is insanely underrated.
"Kibble said" Super Famous, Yet Broke!!!" 🤷🏼♂️. Inspired & torched Every Muso & their pet hamsters. F.B. 👑's. 🤗😊🌅🌊🏄🏼♂️
That's for dame sure
criminally, i would say
Easily one of the greatest songs of its generation. It never gets old.
This is my favorite song by Fishbone! They'll continue to be a phenomenal band to 2024, 2025 and beyond.
2023...and still pioneers.
I just saw them play in Santa Cruz w/ Les Claypool and the Frog Brigade. They still have all the urgency and energy that they’ve always had! Angelo Moore was handing out setlists and I finally got to geek out on playing Theremin, showed him my Theremin/pedalboard and it turns out we both played the Moog Etherwave Plus Theremin. So much positivity and sincerity from him. 😊
YES Fishbone FAMILY is 💯++++++ #TRIBE
Been a FISHBONE since birth
FISHBONE SOLDIERS!! This band has gone through a lot and Angelo Moore is IMO one of the best rock frontmen in history
Smoked pot with these guys after their show in Baltimore in the 1990's. Really cool guys.
Show in Edmonton in 93 ... my friends and I were right at the side of the stage where they kept gear cases and stuff. Norwood was walking by to take the stage and sees me smoking a cig. Bums one, goes onstage and starts killing it. A couple songs in he sparks up a spliff, smokes half and tosses me the rest. All while wearing nothing but a towel that's about to fall off.
Good times.
If you are speaking of their show at Hammerjacks, I was there. It was an amazing performance.
I think i was at that show! 😂
Dude, this is my first time ever hearing Fishbone. They're SUPER dope! They'e like if Earth, Wind, and Fire were a metal band.
wait til you hear more . . . it gets better
So much of their material is so fundamental. RHCP wouldn't be a thing without them. They're foundational!
Saw them live on Shrooms in 2023 in PDX and they blew my mind in unspeakable ways. All I can say is I hope to see them live again soon. They're fundamental to Funk/Ska/Punk and Rock, it's shocking they haven't gotten bigger!
I found out about them via Los Mal Hablados, a Skacore band in PDX. And they truly enlightened a lot to my music standards. Now I can't live without Fishbone because of them lol
何度聴いてもカッコイイ！
Yeah, this song is SICK and Fishbone shoulda been HUGE in 1991 but keep in mind RHCP was an underground band back then. And so were Soundgarden, Nirvana... the list goes on and on. Only us "freaks" listened to these groups in an era when Warrant, Whitesnake, and Poison were still chart toppers. But all that stopped in October of that year. By June of 1992 everybody was singing ""Give It Away," spandex was dead, and Chris Cornell was a household name but Fishbone never got the recognition they deserved.
First time I saw this was on SNL and completely blew my sh*t away. That was over 30 years ago and I still get chills where I hear this.
Fishbone - Sunless Saturday
I see the pestilence outside my window
I see the dung heaps piled at least a mile high
I see the shards of shattered dreams in the street
I face the morning with my customary sigh
Whoa-oh-oh!
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh!
I hear the sounds of children laughing aloud
A stumbling wino has attracted quite a crowd
My breakfast finished now I brave the outside
But clouds have hidden all the warmth inside
Chase these clouds away
I hate this sunless Saturday
Chase these clouds away
I hate this sunless Saturday
Freedom come
(Freedom come)
For us now
. (For us now)
Light our sky
(Light our sky)
Burn away
These clouds
Yeah!
Perhaps the charcoal grey and brown around me
Is just the mirror image of tainted soul
I think the sun will never visit my sky
Until the truth is seen by each and every eye
Whoa-oh-oh!
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh!
Chase these clouds away
I hate this sunless Saturday
Freedom come
(Freedom come)
For us now
. (For us now)
Light our sky
(Light our sky)
Burn away
These clouds
I see the helpless and I see the insane
I see a pauper singing in the pouring rain
I see the means of help elude us again
I think the sun will never visit me again
Whoa-oh-oh!

Just got blessed with this song on my discover weekly and I'm already in love with it, I can see myself playing this over and over again
This song is sick AF !!!

Still my go-to for a quick adrenaline fix.

Classic , and highly underated . These guys were seriously skilled and tight musicians , they had a positive message and intense energy. Even now what ever projects they are working on i wish these musicians the best and thx for years of great work.

My older brothers used to listen to this group, they had a VHS tape with a lot of their music videos.. when I was a little girl this video used to scare me because of the children in cages lol but I always liked the song.
great song
This is a masterpiece.
Sure is

@@kevind1248 Glad you found it 😁
@@LaurenLawDawg Absolutely!
That bass, the sound, the thump, and the actual visual stand-up bass in the video, that's what I always loved about this song.
The video though, that young kid, standing on a wall playing air guitar, perfect!
Saw them many times in the 90s, absolutely awesome! They never conformed to the 3-4 minute live songs. They would go on for 10 minute tangents.
Epic when shows are crazy tangents
Simply awesome 🔥
Fishbone was always a head of their time! So happy I got to see them a few times in their prime.... Their energy was amazing! Now sharing them with my son who is my age when I seen them.
I had a friend who was the lead singer/lead guitar in a local Dallas band and he said he hung out with Fishbone one night and said that lead singer is crazy in person too, it’s not just an act or something lol. He said they all were cool though and very nice.
Brilliant band and one of THE best live shows I ever saw. Saw them at Lollapalooza and once they opened for Primus.
I saw them in Orlando 1993. It actually rained. They went straight to this song. One of the best moments of my life
Seen them live in Sydney.
Never seen such energy in any performance!
Absolutely awesome.
Great playing and singer is unbelievable,like he's possessed by the music.
Incredible to watch.❤😮
YOU CAN HEAR THE BASS!!!!! YEAH!
Came here for this.
I can hardly wait to see you again! 🕊🕯🎈🎆🎏
I saw this band live in 1992. Totally blew my mind. Never had seen anything quite like it until that point. Effing amazing.

This is one the greatest songs ever written.
I am and always be a Fishbone solider.
Kendell doing that fucking awesome guitar solo with the wavy watery sound, Phil going crazy on the drums, man it doesn't get better than this.

Correct. There's actually a long form home video of the album sessions that he filmed as well.
They had great moments before and after, but this is the PEAK of Fishbone IMO, sheer perfection.
Incredible performances, super high energy, deep meaningful lyrics, thrashing riffs, super catchy beat and rhythm....Fishbone has it ALL.
I attended High School with these guys.. they were a band back in 1983..The band leader Angelo Moore was an unique dancer. He taught me dance moves that defies Gravity...Great Human to share his skill set. I still dance those moves today in my 50. It won me alot of attention over the decades.. Thanks Angelo
That is one of the greatest riffs.
GREAT BAND! GREAT MUSICIANS! I saw them in concert. FISHBONE IS A MUSICIAN'S BAND! GO SEE THEM LIVE. ITS A MUST!
This is absolute GOLD..bought "the reality of my surroundings" after seeing this video on MTV !! And heey the rest of the album does not really suck!! Fishbone should have been massive ok!!😁😁💗
21 years later... this song still kicks all kinds of ass !
Greatest song of its time. A fucking masterpiece.
Yes. A fuckin masterpiece
all hail fishbone! i saw these guys at the first Lollapalooza in Dallas Tx. 91-92. good times.
