priest_of_syrinx Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 I was at the mall and I went to the stand that a guy normally sets up that has cheap used CD's and vinyls. The other day, I saw a CD by Faith No More and on a whim, I bought it for $3. All I can say is that this is one bizarre band, but I think I like it. It's like jazz + funk + metal + rock... Anybody else listen to these guys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tangy Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 alot of people say mike patton is a genius. I probably should give more of his music a chance. FNM definitely had a few cool tunes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRocinanteKid Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 The Real Thing is my favourite album although I know a lot of people prefer Angel Dust. The debut album Introduce Yourself is probably the most weird and out there, I always forget the name of the guy who sang on there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
circumstantial tree Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 I remember they came along around the time of grunge. The singer had long hair, shorts, and tube socks in his videos as I recall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormtron Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Love em. Angel Dust is my favorite record of theirs. If you think that stuff's weird then check out Patton's other band, Mr. Bungle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xanadu93 Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 I don't know everything by them, but I do know one song - Midlife Crisis. What can I say, it was on Tony Hawk Underground 2 and GTA: San Andreas, and it's a pretty good tune! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Test4VitalSigns Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Angel Dust is a killer album. for Patton's more bizarre stuff check out his other bands Mr. Bungle and especially Fantomas (Love their album Director's Cut) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shifty Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 FNM were never one of my fav bands, but I did see them in concert a few times and they were always entertaining. I remember seeing them do a pretty cool version of War Pigs at one of the shows. Here's a version I stumbled across. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatchetaxe&saw Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Introduce Yourself, The Real Thing & Angel Dust are the best 3. Great band, saw them live in 92 & 93. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozzy85 Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 I like Faith No More and in particular Mr. Bungle, wish there were more than three albums. I used to get strange looks for playing Mr. Bungle at work. I had a co-worker that was actually frightened by Disco Volante. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ancient Ways Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 these guys are cool, not bizarre at all. huge influence on tons of bands these days. linkin park should give these guys a commission since they took what fnm did and just updated it a bit and took it in a more pop-oriented direction.

moltenlava Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 FAITH NO MORE were a most awesome collective. I was a big fan of their three core recordings back in the day. I saw them as being completely fearless in an age of total and utter conformity. They made music totally unlikely any of their contemporaries and weren't afraid to integrate any and every style into their own. But, it seemed that people were hungering for this type of individuality because their popularity grew quickly. I first heard them on college radio, and within a year or so they were on everyone mind. The band dissolved before their time and its members seemed to fade into obsurity. Now, this decade, we see the resurgence of its most recognizable member - Vocalist, Mike Patton. This guy has his hands in everything as of late. The guy's as adventuresome as he was back in his FNM days. Maybe even more so. The man is involved, as a part-time to full-time member, in three to four bands, as well as delivering solo projects and dabbling in film scores as well. I can mention two of his recent recordings that are AS GOOD as anything he did with FNM. His band 'Tomahawk' delivered an album, entitled 'Mit Gas'. This recording is the type of high quality, Avant-Garde & Alternative Metal which was synonymous with FNM. Super catchy tracks, despite of its Avant leanings. Definitely a worthy acquisition. Then, he did a Hip-Hop album under the name of 'Peeping Tom', which also encorporates all of the elements which is characteristic of a Mike Patton recording. I can name other sessions which are worth exploring, but these two albums will make you wonder why you never thought to see what this guy was up to all these years. I think Mike Patton is just one brilliant cat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormtron Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 One of my favorite side projects of his is the Lovage - Music to Make Love to Your Old Lady By album. Dan the Automator did the music and the lady from Elysian Fields and Patton sing. Well, she does. Mike mostly talks in this creepy fake "sexy" voice. It's like a weird Portishead album about sex.
