it's cool to get some feedback.
i don't know. to me there's just something really compelling about fnm's music. it's timeless music in a way. angel dust to me sounds like it might have been recorded yesterday.

i'm into all material that patton has been involved with. but fnm is definitely my fave.

yeah, Angel Dust is a very creative album, and there's no doubt Patton's a fucking genius. but still it's not my thing... lets say I'm not very "identified" with it for some reason. maybe the crazyness, don't know.

 

[crumbling mirth]

true

admittedly fnm aren't for everyone.

To my ears - they fall into that general "I'll listen to them" category. They're OK, but I don't get anything special out of their music. Talented - yes, like most other musicians. But their sound doesn't put them on that "different" level.

Hmmm...I don't really know of any other bands that sound like Faith No More...they are truly unique and different

True - but I think most bands have a uniqueness to them - that distinguishable sound. I guess I don't consider theirs so specially unique that they stand above most other bands [IMO]

 

[loudsilence]

Fair enough...everyone views bands differently.

Yea, they recorded that here in my home town. I have a friend who hung out in the studio with them....lucky bastard

 

[Jo]

Indeed a lucky friend
3 more sleeps! hmm I hear they will be doing meet and greets at Utopia Records NSW & Gaslight Music VIC, do you think Mike would get upset if I took my Mr. Bungle and Faith No More discs in to get signed?

I quite like Faith No More.

...

yeah...

 

[jimbobhickville]

This is wierd, I just listened to "The Real Thing" last night for the first time in a while. That's the only album by them that I like.

I finally got round to buying "King for a day...." today and it is by far my favourite album...probably due to it's diversity. There are jazz, funk, country,reggae and metal influences on this album which makes it more enjoyable to listen to IMO.

I love Faith No More. They were the first band that I ever liked. Before that, I was listening to straight classical. Like a lot of people, I jumped on the "Epic" bandwagon, but unlike a lot of people, I actually stuck with it. I now have all of their records, including "Live at the Brixton Academy", which is very fucking hard to find everywhere I've looked in this country (I had to go to New Zealand to get it).

Kuckoo For Kacka(or how ever its spelt) i a great song., and not just because it's comical. It's a really great song. That, and Surprise! Your Dead! is really grand too, lots of others as well. Mike Patton is a mad man. i have a video of them doing Epic on Saturday night live. It just further proves that Mike Patton is a mad man.

"YOU CANT KILL IT!!! YOU CAN'T KILL IT!! SHIT LIVES FOREVER!"
"Being good gets you stuff, being stuff gets you good, being good gets you whealin' and dealin' and squeelin'!!!!"
"it's cold and its smooth, and its a hard shade of white"(how does that describe shit? )

Ha ha, yah. That song, and band, kicks ass.

On the subject of Patton projects I was just wondering if anyone has heard the album Secret Chiefs 3 with Trevor Dunn, Danny Heifetz and Trey Spruance from Mr. Bungle.
