That is so odd. Obviously someone who works on the show is a big fan and wrote that in. I wonder how many regular viewers of the show have any idea who Mike Patton is. They probably just thought it was a made up name for the show.
i really agree with what that blonde bitch said about calling patton a god.. “diminishing the contributions of the other members of the bands”… i would hope that we all know that the bands named by this bitch couldnt have been so awesome without the contributions of the musicians, as well as patton…. but the majority of “music lovers” will only focus on the vocalist and dismiss the other members… there are some exceptions to this rule though,( for example tommy lee, the drummer for motley crue was the one focused on. probably because rumors of his massive cock got around amongst groopie degenerate whores he used to deepthroat in dark alleys).. … anyways, my point is that i really feel for the x members of fnm and bungle…if i were an x-member in one of “pattons bands” and saw that the majority of fans wouldnt even recognize me if i were standing next to them, i would really think a lot less about my music, and human beings in general…. it shows how shallow most of you “music fans” really are..
ps…good job to the soap opera dude who slipped that in the script in an attempt to enlighten the hoards of patton drones. maybe hes as mad as i am about patton fans.
I don’t think most FNM fans think of Patton as the sole figure in the band, the only thing they might not know is that the major contributors were really Billy Gould and Roddy Bottum. The only people that might think Patton was the only figure are those few leftovers that keep on buying all his other crap.
Yeah, most FNM fans are smart enough (hopefully) to know that Patton didn’t have as much as a part in their sound as Billy and Roddy did. They were as I’m Batman pointed out above, the main contributors to FNM’s signature sound. And anyone who thinks it was Patton who MADE Faith No More what they were well….need to get whacked upside the fucking head. That’s just pleading ignorance.
I am sooooo tired of reading the same people posting about the “crap” M.P. is making. If you are so F’N talented, why aren’t we buying your F’N records. Now I’m not saying that anyone should be a blind groupie and just love everything Mike does, but he’s an endlessly experimental and creative artist who deserves respect for his achievements. I doubt there are very few people out there that think any Patton related bands, aside from Fantomas, were only influenced by Mike, we all know that he was privileged and lucky to have been able to work with some of the greatest musicians. So please do me a favor, get over yourselves, if you are going bad mouth Mike or “leftovers who keep buying his other crap” try please try to write something smart or interesting to make reading you ignorant post not a complete waste of time…
I’m always happy to acknowledge that Patton’s bandmates had HUGE amounts of input into the sound of the bands (Hell, Tomahawk was officially Duane Dennison’s project that Patton walked into from what i hear) but at least in FNM, Patton’s influence was more pronounced on their last two albums than the others, perhaps as Roddy drifted away (KFAD was missing a lot of keyboards compared to the other albums, and Roddy only appears as a songwriter on a few of the cuts from KFAD and AOTY) but Billy Gould worked especially hard as both a songwriter, performer, and producer…And let’s not even get into the guys in Bungle, almost all of whom (Especially Trey) contributed to make the band what it was…EVen though the dialogue was clunky in the soap clip, they make a good point, that unless it’s a “Patton Band” like Fantomas, Peeping Tom or his solo work, it’s the whole of the band that makes the albums what they are…just mah two cents….
Second…on the topic on FNM. Yes Billy and Roddy were the major contributers to FNM’s sound.BUT!
How many time did you here about Faith No More w/ Chuck uber-boring-voice-Mosely?
How many time did you hear about the great band known as Faith No More?
How many cd’s from FNM did you own before The Real Thing came out?
How many music vids from FNM did you see b4 Epic?
I dont recall hearing anything about FNM b4 Patton jumped on board.
Infact, as far as I can see, the best any of the others did for Faith No More’s sucess was…well….land them the themesong spot for Discovery Channel’s Dirty Jobs.
Everyone knows Patton wasnt the only member. Everyone knows the band wasn’t : Mike Patton with Faith No More
But the fact remains, Mike Patton is the best thing that ever happened to Faith No More.
Scracth that. Mike Patton is the best thing that ever happened to music.Period.
4degrees….you are right. But I just didn’t want to say that Patton was the thing that made them. Yes, he was the best thing that happened to them, and….might just be the best thing that ever happened to music, alongside the Beatles! Haha! No but seriously, you’re right. But still, I like Chucky FNM too, so don’t bug on him! We Care A Lot and Introduce Yourself, while they weren’t no King For A Day…or Angel Dust, were still great albums in my opinion. But their success had nothing to do with the level of the music. I mean, Britney Spears’ successful (just an example) doesn’t mean she has any talent. What I’m trying to say is, FNM woulda been kickass even if they never entered the mainstream. Look at Bungle.
Actually, what it looks like you’re saying is all Patton did for FNM was make them successful…you didn’t discuss the evolution of their sound and music….bad, bad.
I didnt think I needn’t to go into the obvious (if you have heard any FNM cd’s). Of course they evolved in the music biz. And they continue to, doing their seperate things….except for Roddy….IMO….i just can’t get into Imperial Teen….a waste of material and musician talent if you ask me….which you didnt…but all the same.
I think you could say their music evolved but really…it was all there all that time. The different sounds and styles they played in…showed everyone’s um, how should i put this….(i really am thinking of a way to say this)…how they were true musicians and didn’t just stick what gave them fame. Every albums after TRT could had been Epic over and over, but they didn’t.they kept making music they liked, and they were into.If it sold, great, if not…they still have the music.
You know, all the music in the Real Thing was written already before Patton joined. He wrote the lyrics for it in 2 weeks. He did good, but you’re saying FNM sucked before Patton came on and the Real Thing came out. Not so, they wrote the best music they had ever so far, and they hired a great lyricist to write good vocals for it. What he does now in no way has any resemblance to what he used to do.
I have an experience in reference to what flesh was talking about. I saw the Bungle show in 2000 in Melbourne, and after the show the band was packing their gear up. Everyone was heckling Patton for autographs..like really giving it to him, while everyone else in the band was busy packing stuff. It was really pissing me off, you know, just let him get on with it!
Anyway, I decided id leave Patton alone and was like, Hey trevor!..could you sign this please?..hey Bar!..etc etc. Everyone else was like, oh are these guys in the band? Friggin losers. Needless to say i got my California album signed by the whole band
But shame on them for not caring about the other bungle members!
For me Angel Dust was the “perfect” moment in FNM where both sides worked in harmony. Before hand It was the band and then Patton joined to do the lyrics and after it it does seem MP had more of a muscical influence. Although great albums i’d have prefered Angel Dust Part II and III.
The first thing that attracted me to FNM in ’87 was Billy Goulds bass line in We Care a Lot along with Roddys keyboard part and Puffys heavy beat – That’s what made modern rock music move foward imo.
Pope, in Angel Dust most of the music was still written by Gould and Bottum, you can even see that in the “Making of Angel Dust”, although Patton maybe had more input in the music than the “Real Thing”. After Angel Dust I was hoping for a kind of Angel Dust II also, like a dark album and stuff but that’s not what they did. Not that I didn’t like King For A Day but it wasn’t what I was expecting. They always wanted to change their music and change their formula which in my opinion isn’t always the best thing. They could’ve made another album like Angel Dust and then made something like King For A Day. Oh well, we can only wish the band gets back together and does something (with or without Patton).
Yeah true Batman, then they do AotY which to me sounds like a cross of the two albums before – but not quite as good as you’d expect.
KFaD – yeah for me its good but like you said not what I was expecting and a billion miles away from The Real Thing. I can understand why bands don’t want to stay the same and really when they were live it didn’t matter cos all the different tracks sounded right played together. But yeah its Angel Dust for me then the others. Even prefere Lovage to some of the other albums.
Fuckin’ love Lovage me!
I can’t believe that MP’s geniality and value is still under discussion. Despite of the quality and weight of what the other FNM did for their own sound, you have to acknowledge that there is a signature and a sort of Midas touch in everything MP does. That is why there are people (mea culpa) that blindly (?) follow almost
I can’t believe that MP’s geniality and value is still under discussion. Despite of the quality and weight of what the other FNM did for their own sound, you have to acknowledge that there is a signature and a sort of Midas touch in everything MP does. That is why there are people (mea culpa) that blindly (?) follow almost everything that MP releases. And that is why even without the other FNM you hear FNM sound-elements in other MP releases (e.g. tomahawk’s God hates a coward, Captain Midnight, etc.).
It’s not like he is re-inventing music, it’s just he is cooking it in his own way and our ears are open. I didn’t listen much hip hop before General P vs. the X-cutioners, but now I see hip hop in a different perspective.
Anyway, I’m sorry to waste energy arguing with FNM-blind fans, being that FNM is still my all-time favourite band. I just don’t know why people get stuck. That is the opposite of what every FNM member did after the break-up. Luckily, they have moved on. Many others didn’t…
Yeah you’re right dog, your key word is “signature”.
I could never imagine anyone onstage singing for FNM except MP
If they ever got another singer I don’t care what anyone says you would be dissapointed. They just couldn’t pull it off.
They’re not like shit Queen songs that although originally sung by one guy can’t be sung anyone else. Queen got in George Michael and Robbie Williams to name two. Not that I’d want them (it would make me vomit) but those two couldn’t pull it off and neither could any of the Patton Wannabees.
So there.
man…that was..I mean…ok free publicity is always good but for some odd reason there was something so pathetic about the fact that such great icons in music like patton, fnm and bungle had to be mentioned of a piece of shit show like AMC!! its just that some things sound great no matter how stupid they are, simply because you respect the person saying it! and man to be mentioned on a show like this is almost insulting! hahahaha really! if I was patton I’d feel dirty!
1) Soap Operas suck
2) Operas are cool if written be Mozart
3) Music has many gods.
Hendrix – God of the Guitar
Maynard Ferguson – God of Trumpet
Dave Lombardo – God of Drums
WA Mozart – God of Music
Mike Patton – God of Creatively Composing, Expressing and Connecting Many Musical Genres in an Original Fashion….LOL.
BTW, Mozart and Patton share the same birthday. I think he may be Amadeus reincarnated.
Though I understand why some people don’t like it when Patton gets ALL the credit for every band he’s in, I fucking hate it when people begin to downplay Patton’s influence.
He was a major reason Faith No More gained notoreity. He was a main contributor to Mr. Bungle. He even wrote most of the music and nearly all of the lyrics on “California”.
