In the north and the south
In the east and the west

Never before ever seen on television
Could you [Ab] introduce yourself [Db] individually to the camera?

Yes, this is true.
You're from LA.
You have been together for what? _
Since late 79.
79.
Late 1979.
And you were together in high school, classmates?
Junior high school.
Junior high school?
Yes.
And high school.
I've known him since I was in 7th grade.
What were the music then?
Were you playing any instruments then or were you just_
We were just [Gb] banging.
We were trying to play instruments.
[Cm] Yeah, we still are.
[Db] Yeah, I know I am.
[Ab] But when we tried together, [Db] it turns out okay.
It turns into something magnificent [Bb] and redundant.
[Ab] Damn, it's a very [Db] good thing.
Six of you originally or_ Yeah.
Yeah.
[Ab] All of us are original members.
What were the music then?
The hottest thing?
You know Rod Stewart, If You Think I'm Sexy.
[A] Aerosmith was pretty [Ab] hot back then.

The last days.
Were you receiving [Bbm] the waves from England like, you know, [C] the [Ab] pistols and all the punks?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, they used to tell us horror stories about punk rockers back then.
Like they'd have_
[F] One rumor was that they'd eat live_
Someone at a punk rock show [Db] would defecate and the other person would eat [F] it.
See, I wouldn't believe that.
They said that same thing about Alice Cooper.
So everyone thought of like punk rock as [Ab] this weird satanic trip.
I didn't like it.
You [Db] must have been exposed to all the [E] funky stuff.
Oh, lots of funky stuff.
Always [Abm] exposed to everything.
Yeah, my dad's favorite [Ab] band was Deep Purple, so you can imagine.
Deep Purple?
Yeah, the spectrum of music that we love.
So it's like a melting pot.
Definitely.
Oh yeah.
My dad [Db] used to listen to Led Zeppelin, Grand Funk Railroad, and [Bb] who's that?
[Db] _ [Ab] Hendrix.
Jim Hendrix.
Yeah, he was definitely into Hendrix.
_ Sly Stone and all that?
Yeah, that too.
He was a classic guitarist.
He was in that [Bb] Segovia type thing.
J-Rock, [Bb] J-Fat, [Cm] J [Ab]-Fall, J-Zap, [Cm] J-Soul, J-Shat, [Ab] J-Sat-Fill.

[F] They smell the car, they fuel the vent,
These are the belts in the [E] bolts of the [Fm] mix,
And screws in the threads of the air [Db] time,
This is the sound behind the [Gb] machine,
These are the voices, [A] these are the voices,
[Em] these are [F] the voices.
Did you travel with the Beasties?
Yes.
They're a very fun bunch of guys.
[Bb] They're okay.
They're okay.
They're a fine lot of fellows.
They're a hearty lot of fellows.
Can [F] you list some of the okay, right on people in the business right now?
Who I like?
Yeah.
Musically?
Yeah.
Well, by judging the top ten here, I [C] can't see too much anything I'd approve of.
Madonna is quite annoying to me.
I think we all generally agree.
And Bon [G] Jovi, though.
I like Leoni by Club Muvo.
What about this Prince guy?
[Ab] Prince?
I think he's [Eb] pretty good.
He's okay.
Well, let me just [N] step over here for a second.
Muvo.
And we can just clap for who you like.
Okay.

Haven't done a thing since the 70s or the 60s.

Genesis, they used to be good.
They used to be.
Take them out of here!
We'll just give them the half-way mark.
[Bm] They got chest and top. Steve Wynwood.
[D] No, no, no, no.
Those USA Grammys, the Grammys.
He shouldn't have been in there!
He should have been in there!
Should have given it to Peter Gabriel.

This is about starships.
Let's get [F] those guys out of here.
[F] So, as far as Fishbone is concerned, these people that you have up here_ Prince!
Yeah!
[Eb] Is the champion, huh?
Club [Em] Nouveau should be at number two.
Well, we'll leave it at number three, [D] because somebody else should go at number two.
That's all I'm saying.
Okay, thank you.
Now, back to the show.
[N] Thank you, guys.
All right.
Thank you, Fishbone.
