For those of you that are not too familiar with Fishbone this is the first time the original 6 members played together since 1993. Which makes it extra special. 😁
@@ems6477 That was my feeling too, they are genuinely playing the song with not a care for what we might think of it, in stark contrast with Ann Wilson's rendition of Rooster (which was horribly forced, dishonest and painful to listen to in my opinion).

I live in Seattle and Jerry Cantrell was on a local radio station a few weeks ago and was asked about his favorite part of this ceremony. First thing out of his mouth was " all the bands that paid tribute to us by doing our songs, and FISHBONE doing " Them Bones" was legendary!" The radio hosts agreed that this rendition was their favorite! Way to go guys! FISHBONE is Red Hottttttt.
According to De La Soul, record companies try to get three good albums out of an artist, then do their best to sabotage their future for failure. Add the fact that Fishbone's music is naturally a square peg in a round hole. Bottom line... recording companies look out for themselves and will screw over the artist at any chance.
@@dwaynerichardson5380 Not wrong. Always about the money. Fishbone was one of my favorite bands growing up. Still legends to me. I hope they're still happy with the success they've accomplished.
@@dwaynerichardson5380 they ended up owing the record companies so much money their lives were basically over. A total crime. Truth and Soul is one of my favorite albums of all time. Got me through so much in the late 80's.. I'll never forget them.
@@dwaynerichardson5380 There's also another reason and it lies with the black community themselves. Over the last 30 years, Hip Hop has been the dominant music form in the black community and among kids growing up, it's simply NOT DONE to go anywhere near a guitar. Why do you think Little Wayne does that "Guitar Solo" shtick of his? Certainly not because of love for the instrument. People like Tosin Abasi, Robert Randolph and Gary Clarke Jr. are modern day black guitarists but if you went up to a group of black teenagers, and asked them who they are they wouldn't know but ask them about Tyler the Creator and Drake, they would because Hip Hop is all they know. So black rock bands such as 24/7 Spyz, Bad Brains, Fishbone and Living Colour are deliberately overlooked because of that. Edit: I should have Mentioned DuG Pinnick of Kings' X here. He could have been huge if he had been a modern day artist. Because he embodies everything that today's society keeps talking about: - He's a badass musician and singer - He's gay - He's black But nobody knows who he is.
They never got the credit they deserved. All explained in the Everyday Sunshine documentary (narrated by Lawrence Fishburne). They were my favorite band for a long time.
I went here in Michigan, at the milan dragway. One of the best shows ever. 3 hits of white blotter. RATM even opened up the main stage, and my personal fav Primus headlined. Our ride left after AIC, so I had to hitch a ride in the hatchback of a ford escort, trippin balls.
For all those new to Fishbone... Listen to the masterpiece albums, " Give a Monkey a Brain and He'll Swear He's the Center of the Universe " and " The Reality of My Surroundings " ... Prepare to have your face melted.
The man was playing like he wasn't even trying. Look to your elders, people. LOL. Probably one of my favorite covers of AiC. The energy was off the charts.
The best part of this is the comments from people unfamiliar with Fishbone who are trying to process what they just watched and realizing they need to know more about this amazing band. You're in for a wild ride that you won't regret.
@@NIVO1972 Same here, both with ´72 and with LC - seen them live 4 times (3 times in a club and once on a summer festival) - matchless performance each time!
Yep. Among the best AIC covers I’ve ever heard, totally made it their own while totally keeping the feel of the song true to the original. Love Fishbone.
This is my favorite Alice In Chains cover EVER. It's like a groovier Them Bones with a horn section in the vein of Facelift. The Harmonizing is flawless and the energy is just as insane, if not more insane, than the original.
@mooky407 Listen to their albums. I recommend you "The Reality of My Surroundings" (1991), "Give the Monkey a Brain..." (1993) and their first recording the "Fishbone" EP (1985).
mooky407 Listen to "Servitude" NOW! These guys and AIC go way back and became friends after headlining Lollapalooza. Jerry Cantrell used to say that Fishbone was THE band they never wanted to follow because you couldn't top them. Jerry has remained friends with the guys and Norwood and Angelo played on his debut album, Boggy Depot.
The one minute and 35 second mark in this Fishbone track is one of the best moments in 90's music: th-cam.com/video/3CBArR5gRbQ/w-d-xo.html Fishbone were one of the BEST live acts in the 90's. Super underrated band.
Fishbone is one of the greatest mysteries of the universe! How did they never achieve the superstardom they deserve? Critically acclaimed and super badass, they are one of the greatest bands of the 1990's. Watch video for "sunless Saturday." Hard rock genius!
Because American's lack the comprehension to understand pure talent. They are fed what the mass media wants to feed them. That's why Fishbone, King's X and other bands never made it.
Tried to find out how it happened. Him rejoining the band because apparently everyone is back in the band now except for him and they're working on a new album. Norwood said that they wanted him to come back in the band as well but he didn't know how to even get a hold of him. 😢 Strangest band breakup ever but being that it's Fishbone that shouldn't be too surprising though.
@@gerimayawhyte154 I heard he reached out to somebody in the band just to talk and they asked him to play with them for a show at fat mike's house for a show and he did it for fun. They have a new ep out in the last while and it's amazing
@@johndcoffee632 I'll have to check out the EP. Too bad after all of this time they couldn't get back together. He seemed kind of off in this video. Almost like he wasn't enjoying it. Kind of strange that he didn't solo either. Maybe he's not in place to handle a whole lot more than that. Being on TV and all. It's been a strange journey.
Man, Layne would have his mind BLOWN if he saw this in person (RIP)! Fishbone with the ORIGINAL lineup to boot (I see you blessin' that axe, Kendall aka Special K!!!). Whew, those brothas still got it thank goodness for that. Hope AND PRAY they stick together just long enough to crank out one more studio masterpiece for the 21st century before going their separate ways again should they decide to. What they threw down back in the late-80s/early-90s was more than enough to guarantee their spot in American music history. FISHBONE SOLDIER FO' LIFE, BABY!!! ;-)
I've been a Fishbone Solider from Day One. It warms my heart that so many people are getting their first taste of of this band that I loved for over 30 years. To them, I say, seek out their entire catalog and strap in for the ride.
I respect Fishbone's courage to take an AIC gemstone in their hands and do a different version of it! Many people hate this version... So what, I don't care. This is about Fishbone showing respect to the greatest 'grunge' band ever.
It's so faithful to the original and yet sounds like it could be a Fishbone song. AMAZING. Glad to see Angelo looking like he's doing well, he seemed pretty bitter in that documentary.
In the early 2000s I got drunk at my local bar with Angelo. After the bar closed he tried to sell me some of his stuff out of the trunk of his car which he was living in at the time. It was sad. Fortunately I saw them perform years later and he seemed better off.
@@trmander This makes me sad. Fishbone is my favorite band of all time and easily the best live act I've ever seen. Others have been good to even great. Reverend Horton Heat is always a great show, Descendents were great... Jimmy Cliff was awe inspiring, Toots and The Maytals were absolutely tremendous, The Urge were incredible (and frankly in their prime in the mid 90's probably the closest equivalent to Fishbone live I've ever seen) and the list goes on and on for days. But no one is better than these guys live in my book and as talented as they are Angelo should have never been living his his damn car.
I got to see Fishbone on their first tour in 1986 or 87. I don't remember when. Angelo Moore was dancing next to me during the opening band. I started talking to him. He's super cool. Very nice and respectful of what the opening band was trying to do. Then, they came on and blew the house away. So talented. They were the tightest band I've ever heard -- equal to professional symphonies.
I have been freaking the fuck out on this performance since I first heard/watched it this morning. I have no idea how many times I have seen it now. Probably as many times as I've seen Fishbone live. At least 10 times
Amid a BUNCH of really great tracks in the MoPop AIC Founders Award video - this might have been my very favorite. What a great example of a radically different band respecting the original, while adding their own light to the creation. They looked as though they were having WAY more fun than anyone should have while thundering thru an AIC song - I've never thought of "festive" and "AIC song" in the same moment, but here you go ...
Wow. Just wow. I saw Fishbone for the FIRST time about 4 or 5 years ago. I thought I was going to a show with a bunch of old timers that were likely past their prime. I left saying it was one of the greatest live shows I had ever seen. These guys are so underrated. Their live energy tops anything I have ever seen in my life and I have been a performer and spectator at a lot of shows. Good to see these dudes are still crushing it like no other.
So great to hear. Saw them a few times in the late 80s early 90s, and the energy and musicianship was just unreal. Keyboard player had a broken leg in a cast, and was still jumping around his rotating stand. No excuses, go all out
Man if Kendall comes back into that band watch out. To this day seeing them open for the Peppers is one of the greatest Sets I’ve EVER seen a band perform. Mindblowing
I practically grew up on Alice in Chains--at least through high school and undergrad. Something about a crazy good band covering them only increases my love of the originals (maybe it has something to do with how respected AiC is in the music community). Anyway, holy cow! every time I listen to freaking Fishbone of all groups cover Them Bones.... Blow away! Deep funk meets the grungiest of all grunge and it KILLS.
The little easter egg intro from their tune I Wish I Had A Date makes this cover even better. My band used to cover Fishbone and AiC when I was a younger man, this brings back so many dope assed memories.
In all my years i’ve never heard Alice spoken in Fishbone. Possibly the best start to a work day in a loooooong time. Perma-grin right now. That was f’n amazing.
They actually toured together in 1993 on the lollapalooza tour. Norwood Fisher, the bassist, also contributed to Jerry Cantrell's first solo album. They've all been friends for years.
Jazed and Confused Jerry of AIC used to say Fishbone was the band they never wanted to follow because you couldn't top them. They're that good. The AIC guys have remained friends with the other bands that co-headlined Lollapalooza.
Been a longtime fan of Fishbone and especially Fish, but they smashed this out of the park. The energy level here is incredible especially since they are not kids. Great to see them all together, especially Kendal playing with them. gonna play it again now.
Had never heard of the band Fishbone, being only a AiC fan...when i heard this my face went wtf? but in a totally amazing way. Mega respect for something immeadiately recognizeable but still distinctly unique!
Never really got into Fishbone, not that there is anything wong with them, just never got around to it. Feeling some regret now... this is fucking killer. KILLER I TELL YA!
Dude…I don’t pretend to have known Layne on *any* level whatsoever. But knowing what I know about his love of Prince, David Bowie, etc. I have a feeling he would’ve *loved* this
I swear I have watched the MoPop Alice In Chains induction concert multiple times and Fishbone's cover of Them Bones is my go to cover song every time. Great job!!
OMG What a PERFECT Pairing :D FISHBONE are the Amoeba which gave birth to pretty much every 90's LA Band. And yet they're still the one and only original they always were (!)
AIC is a very under appreciated band by the mainstream but no where near under appreciated as Fishbone. Both are true fucking giants of the realm of music and should be loved and respected as such. What an amazing cover!
I wouldnt have believed it but... wow that was awesome. Those horn stabs are just great. I love the spin they put on an all-time-favorite song. So good.
I love that fishbone are still as eccentric and fun as they were when I saw them years ago. They gave a pretty sick dimension to this classic. It sounds so BIGGGG!
Once again Fishbone brings the flavour for all to savour. Great cover from one of the greatest bands to ever have graced us with their presence... All Hail The Mighty Fishbone 🤘😁
Dammmmmmuuuummmmm..... that’s how you freakin blow it UP... I’ve heard many versions of this song and this THE BEST besides the original.... Rocking MY ASS OFF....🤘
This was just a pure shot - incredible. That whole show was great with a couple of exceptions, but this stood out. These guys are not only great musicians but music fans - like AIC put through an Ornette Coleman filter.
I remember seeing Fishbone in a scuzzy club in Portland in the late 80s. People were throwing shit up on stage and the singer picks up a shoe and says “Nike? We only do Vans” (paraphrased, it’s been a few years).
Oh my! Big Fishbone and AIC fan in the 1990s so this is a pleasant surprise. As others have mentioned, if you're not familiar with Fishbone, then "Give A Monkey..." is a good start
Fishbone absolutely kills this. I haven't listen to them since the 90's - seems they have only gotten better with age! This cover and the Dallas Green cover of 'Rain when I die' are the highlights of this incredible tribute to AICs.
Would LOVE to hear a studio version of this! Amazing cover! Stayed true to the original frame (fish skeleton) but spread that funky/punky Fishbone DNA all over it! Angelo is almost 60 and still looks and rocks out like he's 20! Respect!
Truly jaw-dropping cover. I didn't watch this when it first came out but I've been going back and watching AIC's unplugged and got recommended this. WHAT ENERGY!!
Wow! I'm happy Fishbone still plays. I saw them quite a few times throughout the years. But this is a surprise cover I wasn't sure ......but of course they pull it off!! Great job.
Alice in Chains and Fishbone have quite the history together. They both headlined Lollapalooza in 1993. Chris Dowd (Fishbone Keys/Vocals) was in Jerry Cantrell's solo band when he toured in the late '90s. Angelo (Fishbone vocals) and Norwood (Fishbone bass) both played on Jerry's solo record, Boggy Depot. In the early days of Alice in Chains, Jerry would often say that he hated going on after Fishbone because they set the bar too damn high.
@@scottyb7979 So am I. It was quite disappointing when Special K left, and the group was never the same afterwards. The later editions of the band were good in their own right, but they just never had the magic that the original band had.

And now they're baiscally broken up... hey, at least we got this eh?
Kendall!
i don't think a big enough deal was made that we're witnessing the original 6 together here ( plus mark phillips of course)
This is the perfect example of doing a 'cover' and not a 'copy'. Awesome awesome version of this song.
Agreed, just like how they did Freddie’s Dead, took a Curtis Mayfield song from the 70s updated it in their style.
Turning those Layne screams in the original into James Brown-type funk scats is pure genius, as is this entire cover. Wonderful.
I feel like Layne would have been so thrilled and delighted to hear this cover…the energy is so pure!
It's kinda reminiscent to the early stuff by layne, he was into this funky style in his early music
@@ems6477 That was my feeling too, they are genuinely playing the song with not a care for what we might think of it, in stark contrast with Ann Wilson's rendition of Rooster (which was horribly forced, dishonest and painful to listen to in my opinion).
no. you can't take the darkness away and add music technology to it. you shouldn't cover songs that can't be better than the original.
@@lewisrender205 STFU. These boys were beyond friends with AIC. They killed this song. Posers talk shit on legends. Homie, do your research before you open your trap.

SO WONDERFUL to see Kendall ripping it up again. This was just glorious
Funfact: Fishbone & Alice In Chains were on tour together for Lollapalooza in the early 90's.
@Mr. Self Destruct Chris Dowd also toured with Jerry for Boggy Depot
1993 - Alice in Chains was the headliner and they brought Fishbone's guitarist up to sit in on a couple tunes (in Raleigh NC anyway).
I went here in Michigan, at the milan dragway. One of the best shows ever. 3 hits of white blotter. RATM even opened up the main stage, and my personal fav Primus headlined. Our ride left after AIC, so I had to hitch a ride in the hatchback of a ford escort, trippin balls.
Lollapalooza 93 was unreal

I saw them many times in the mid to late 80's.... including opening for RHCP at UMass Spring Fling '88. Definitely one of of my top shows ever
My favorite band for a long time too. Nobody could touch them in the late 80's and early 90's.
Couldn't be better. Gotta love the OG squad together. Fish is just sick on the kit.

They looked as though they were having WAY more fun than anyone should have while thundering thru an AIC song - I've never thought of "festive" and "AIC song" in the same moment, but here you go ...
They Fishboned it.
The original lineup back together and killing it!!
@@scottyb7979 - "Fish" is as good as it gets on the drums - anywhere, any era.
That's the best way to describe them live is "Festive!" Seen them in the 90's three times.
Wow. Just wow. I saw Fishbone for the FIRST time about 4 or 5 years ago. I thought I was going to a show with a bunch of old timers that were likely past their prime. I left saying it was one of the greatest live shows I had ever seen. These guys are so underrated. Their live energy tops anything I have ever seen in my life and I have been a performer and spectator at a lot of shows. Good to see these dudes are still crushing it like no other.
So great to hear. Saw them a few times in the late 80s early 90s, and the energy and musicianship was just unreal.
Keyboard player had a broken leg in a cast, and was still jumping around his rotating stand. No excuses, go all out
That's great to hear. I'd like to see them now that everyone is back in minus Kendall Jones. Supposed to be a new album being worked on as well.
Man if Kendall comes back into that band watch out. To this day seeing them open for the Peppers is one of the greatest Sets I’ve EVER seen a band perform. Mindblowing
They took an already great song and took it to the next level, which is exactly what a good cover song does.
One of the most criminally underrated rock bands on earth. Great version of the AIC classic with a little Fishbone sauce 👏👏🤘
Them fish bones anyone?
😂
Nice.
I guess they picked this track on purpose:)
I guess mow they should do an entire cover album of AiC songs?
Right on
I practically grew up on Alice in Chains--at least through high school and undergrad. Something about a crazy good band covering them only increases my love of the originals (maybe it has something to do with how respected AiC is in the music community). Anyway, holy cow! every time I listen to freaking Fishbone of all groups cover Them Bones.... Blow away! Deep funk meets the grungiest of all grunge and it KILLS.
Them Horns!
Damn... Fish killing it on the drums!!
Phillip "Fish" Fisher. Legendary Original drummer for Fishbone. He's playing on the tribute to Alice in Chains.
The little easter egg intro from their tune I Wish I Had A Date makes this cover even better. My band used to cover Fishbone and AiC when I was a younger man, this brings back so many dope assed memories.
In all my years i’ve never heard Alice spoken in Fishbone. Possibly the best start to a work day in a loooooong time. Perma-grin right now. That was f’n amazing.
Way fewer words than I used - captured my sentiments much better too.
They actually toured together in 1993 on the lollapalooza tour. Norwood Fisher, the bassist, also contributed to Jerry Cantrell's first solo album. They've all been friends for years.
@@xavierrhone4929 Angelo also did the horns on "Cut You In"
Jazed and Confused
Jerry of AIC used to say Fishbone was the band they never wanted to follow because you couldn't top them. They're that good. The AIC guys have remained friends with the other bands that co-headlined Lollapalooza.
yes! Fishbone's best metal songs, Sunless Saturday, Servitude, Swim, and End the Reign .. didn't have horns!!! They fixed it here!
agreed!
Multiply this by two hours or so and you have a Fishbone show. Relentlessly awesome band!
I saw Fishbone a few times back in the 90's; they have one of the best live shows ever.
They did the song justice! Loved this!!!
This version kick my ass!!
OMG THE DRUMMER IS KILLING IT!!!!!
Been a longtime fan of Fishbone and especially Fish, but they smashed this out of the park. The energy level here is incredible especially since they are not kids. Great to see them all together, especially Kendal playing with them. gonna play it again now.
Had never heard of the band Fishbone, being only a AiC fan...when i heard this my face went wtf? but in a totally amazing way. Mega respect for something immeadiately recognizeable but still distinctly unique!
Same here! A great experience as an AIC fan. Almost like being reincarnated into an alternate 1992 all over again.
Very influential band for a long time. Also, they were my favorite band for a long time too.
Never really got into Fishbone, not that there is anything wong with them, just never got around to it. Feeling some regret now... this is fucking killer. KILLER I TELL YA!
They have great albums, peep them out!
Pancho, I'm with you. Always read about Fishbone but never listened to them. Based on this song, I'm about to start.
Definitely go back and check some material from Truth and Soul for starters.
They are so musically diverse and talented at many styles... you will probably find something in their work to like
You will not be disappointed Pancho > 🏁🇯🇲
Never understood why Fishbone wasn't more popular.
Dude…I don’t pretend to have known Layne on *any* level whatsoever. But knowing what I know about his love of Prince, David Bowie, etc. I have a feeling he would’ve *loved* this
Back in the 90s, Fishbone played Fall Fest at my college... they were selling these “F*ck Racism!” T-shirts!
I swear I have watched the MoPop Alice In Chains induction concert multiple times and Fishbone's cover of Them Bones is my go to cover song every time. Great job!!
Fishbone has been an integral part of AIC's music since the early days.
OMG What a PERFECT Pairing :D FISHBONE are the Amoeba which gave birth to pretty much every 90's LA Band. And yet they're still the one and only original they always were (!)
no they werent...
AIC is a very under appreciated band by the mainstream but no where near under appreciated as Fishbone. Both are true fucking giants of the realm of music and should be loved and respected as such. What an amazing cover!
Greatest live band ever...
Fishbone slaughtered "them bones" my hat's off to you guys
I ... believe ... FISHBONE are the real deal! 🤯 Epic stuff.
I wouldnt have believed it but... wow that was awesome. Those horn stabs are just great. I love the spin they put on an all-time-favorite song. So good.
I love that fishbone are still as eccentric and fun as they were when I saw them years ago. They gave a pretty sick dimension to this classic. It sounds so BIGGGG!
How is nobody talking about Kendall being there? Great rendition
Kendall is still alive and sane? Awesome!
Get on their fan page on FB, he stalked about a lot. So far this appearance is a one off but there’s hope of them being a 2 guitar band again 😬
Probably because you need to be pretty far down the Fishbone rabbit hole to recognize him or the significance of his being there.
@@jonhultman2338
Kendall was on their best and biggest-selling records.
Was about to say...
This is how you pay respect to a song while making it your own. Much Love.
Once again Fishbone brings the flavour for all to savour. Great cover from one of the greatest bands to ever have graced us with their presence... All Hail The Mighty Fishbone 🤘😁
Dammmmmmuuuummmmm..... that’s how you freakin blow it UP...
I’ve heard many versions of this song and this THE BEST besides the original.... Rocking MY ASS OFF....🤘
Dig deep folks...Fishbone is worth the effort. Crushed it!!
This was just a pure shot - incredible. That whole show was great with a couple of exceptions, but this stood out. These guys are not only great musicians but music fans - like AIC put through an Ornette Coleman filter.
That metaphor with Ornette Coleman is brilliant.
I remember seeing Fishbone in a scuzzy club in Portland in the late 80s. People were throwing shit up on stage and the singer picks up a shoe and says “Nike? We only do Vans” (paraphrased, it’s been a few years).
FISHBONE! Forgotten pioneers. Da bomb!
Oh my! Big Fishbone and AIC fan in the 1990s so this is a pleasant surprise. As others have mentioned, if you're not familiar with Fishbone, then "Give A Monkey..." is a good start
I enjoyed "In Your Face"..
My pic for a start would be Truth and Soul. It changed music for me.
Fishbone absolutely kills this. I haven't listen to them since the 90's - seems they have only gotten better with age! This cover and the Dallas Green cover of 'Rain when I die' are the highlights of this incredible tribute to AICs.
Would LOVE to hear a studio version of this! Amazing cover! Stayed true to the original frame (fish skeleton) but spread that funky/punky Fishbone DNA all over it! Angelo is almost 60 and still looks and rocks out like he's 20! Respect!
Truly jaw-dropping cover. I didn't watch this when it first came out but I've been going back and watching AIC's unplugged and got recommended this. WHAT ENERGY!!
What an awesome interpetation! Love the horns.
I'm just glad to see Special K with the guys. Live long and Healthy! FIshbone
Wow. That Bloody Awesome..and their Original Lineup too!
OMG! It's like my favorite band doing a cover of my favorite band!!!
Fishbone Familyhood member checking in! Can't believe I haven't seen this awesome performance until now. This was such a flavorful cover! Excellent!
Cannot. Stop. Watching/listening.
one of the best rentidions of a song I've seen in many years, what a masterpiece!
I keep coming back to this. What an amazing cover from a fantastic band.
Same here!
Wow! I'm happy Fishbone still plays. I saw them quite a few times throughout the years. But this is a surprise cover I wasn't sure ......but of course they pull it off!! Great job.
This is a fantastic reinterpretation of “Them Bones”, so, good.
I just shed tears...knowing the history of these 2 bands...WHEW!!! THANK YOU!!!
How can a person not like this cover?
This was incredible. Such groove, vocal chops, and vibrancy. Them Bones reimagined.
Alice in Chains and Fishbone have quite the history together. They both headlined Lollapalooza in 1993. Chris Dowd (Fishbone Keys/Vocals) was in Jerry Cantrell's solo band when he toured in the late '90s. Angelo (Fishbone vocals) and Norwood (Fishbone bass) both played on Jerry's solo record, Boggy Depot. In the early days of Alice in Chains, Jerry would often say that he hated going on after Fishbone because they set the bar too damn high.
Perhaps, one of the best covers I've ever heard of this song. Fish Bone always make music sound so alive !
And Kendal Jones too!!!
Really happy to see him back with the boys!!
@@scottyb7979 So am I. It was quite disappointing when Special K left, and the group was never the same afterwards. The later editions of the band were good in their own right, but they just never had the magic that the original band had.
Fishbone resurrecting Alice in Chains gave me chills.
Best AIC cover ever. Period. No contest. I actually like it better than the original and I really love the original. Funkin’ Aces.
Fishbone for life!
Man I remember a group of older skaters were Preaching Fishbone to me in the early 90's, glad to see they still fkn kill it.
