Reel Big Fish - General - Facepunch Forum

Didn't see any threads about these guys, but they're such a great band. A lot of talent within the band.

The guy on that Take on Me Cover is a fucking psycho. Actually they all are. [editline]12:22PM[/editline] Good band though.

My favorite ska band.

great stuff. There are better ska vocalists out there IMO but these guys have great lyrics and are fun to listen to anyway. [editline]01:44AM[/editline] I love posting don't start a band on shitty music forums when people talk about their "daring new projects" in FL studio (which they call "a band") or things of that nature

I like 'em, but they don't even compare to Streetlight Manifesto in my mind. Streetlight just has [B]so [/B]much more talent. Still love RBF though. :v:

sell out is a classic, love it

Saw them live in 05 that was fun to say. Great band, I love the trumpet player who downs a bottle of JD on stage

RBF is a great ska band, but they're too poppy for my tastes.

[QUOTE=Pr0vologne;19712646]RBF is a great ska band, but they're too poppy for my tastes.[/QUOTE] I think they're just kind of happy sounding, they don't give a shit about being on the radio or MTV. The lyrics really are pretty bitter / negative a lot of times, though.

I just went to a RBF gig last night, now [I]there[/I] was a mosh pit and a half! They had Sonic Boom Six and Big D And The Kids' Table supporting too :dance:

I'm seeing them soon, along with anthrax, gallows and a few other great bands.

I love Reel Big, they are almost as different from the vast majority of other ska bands, but they really aren't... they sorta just sound the same. Awesome band though!

I love Reel Big Fish. They sound great live too, from what I've seen anyways from live DVDs.

[QUOTE=Skank;19741993]Ska gig's aren't meant to have "mosh pit's".[/QUOTE] You would suck at a concert. I can imagine someone going in a mood because it's not [I]how it's supposed to be[/I] and it's not like proper original ska.

[QUOTE=DuncanFrost;19746604]it's called third wave gramps[/QUOTE] I'm perfectly aware of what it's called. That's the thing that annoys me, whenever someone asks me what kind of music I'm into and I say Ska, they always say "Reel Big Fish?". I go to Ska Punk gig's expecting nothing less from Ska Punk fans.

Just remain calm and say: "No, " and list some bands that they wont have heard of. That will show them who isn't mainstream.

RBF are great. Seeing them live in a month at Soundwave!

All I can remember is being in grade 8 and loving the song 241. Wasn't a big fan of them but I enjoyed a few songs.

I fucking LOVE Reel Big Fish. Have almost all their stuff on disc. I just wish they had more of their original members in the band, 'cause there's only one left.
