Opening bands were an electronic trio featuring Reggie Watts of Maktub; and AKP. AKP were HORRIBLE...talk about a vibe killer....

The set was good though. This was the first time some of the temple bar material was played in Seattle (Critical Times, Frey'd Fucking Nerve Endings, Get Out of the City). The new material was great. The set started off with some Dirty Walt tun...

I dug the hell out of the new stuff, good lord "Last Days" is THE single heaviest song i've ever heard out of fishbone. That slow part is so slow and so heavy it could rip Melivins/Crowbar heads a new rektum. Skank N Go Nuts, I love the whammypedal shit that spacey is doing on there. The new stuff seems to be going in a heavy direction, which after Pschotic Friends is a breeze of fresh air. I really didnt miss McKnight one bit.......

Now for AKP....I dont get why they're there. If Fishbone was playing AKP's hometown, I could see them opening. But for the whole tour? WHY? If anything, they kept the audience in the bar rather than where the stage was. It's just paint by numbers beyond generic rapcore that made Limp Bizkit look creative. Fuck what Matt Pinfeild said, those guys can't rap to save their ass, and that's why they are in a rapcore band instead of putting out straight hip-hop. Anyways, i thought the part where they come out and rap over "Shakey Ground" just plain sucked. O yeah, and AKP started off the show with choreographed headbanging, seriously I'm not making it up.

All Kinds of Problems has all kinds of problems: they're generic, their rhymes stink, and they make Limp Bizkit sound like Bill Laswell. Now that's some problems........
