Here Today... Gone To Hell!

I love this man, proberly influenced me more then any other musician, just wondering if anybody's seen him in any of his bands/projects...me...

Faith No More 97- Album of the Year Tour
Mr Bungle 00'- California Tour (the best by far)
Fantomas 01'- Directors Cut Tour
Thomahawk 02'- Self titled albumTour
Thomahawk / Fantomas Tour 03' featuring The Melvins

After FNM, Patton stuck to what he was basically doing in Mr. Bungle, behind all kinds of intruments n' micraphones.
This man is a guinies, anyone seen him.
I dont think there would be many considering this is a Guns N' Roses site, i knew once Velvet Revolver where interested in Patton that he wouldnt go for it, anything Patton does anytime now you can garintee that it wont be normal music!!!

Big Patton fan here man!

Love all of Faith No More

love the first two mr. bungle cd's. California has some weak material on it.

Big fan of Tomahawk too. Awesome rock band without sounding too "modern"

Fantomas is the shit too...Did you pick up the new Fantomas cd "Delerium Cordia"?

that thing is a trip. not songs or anything...just one track thats over an hour long. my best descripion of it would be like watching a horror movie with your eyes closed. seems like a haunted, abandoned hospital. fuckin trippy...listen to it fucked up.

mate thats the only album i dont have yet.

strange, alote of people like California and alote hate Disco Valonte, Disco is THE album to get fucked up to...and Pattons solo stuff, but ive gotta check out the new one from Fantomas, i cant beleive ive left it this long :crying:

have you herd of Peeping Tom, that stuff's crazy :hihi:

 :rofl: that is mad stuff

The guys a fucking genius, i will see him live soon whether its with Fantasmos, Tomahawk, or any of his other 5000 projects.

The thing with Mike, is he really doesnt give a fuck what people think, he makes the music he likes and doesnt givea  fuck about the masses.

Thats why he chopped his hair off in FNM when he started being labelled a rock god..among other bizarre things he started doing.

You guys should check out the work he did with The Dillinger Escape Plan...brutalness!

This guy can do it all!

Long Live The Patton!

Massive FTM fan - i have always wanted to get into Patton's millions of side projects but the sheer number of them and their alledged 'weirdness' has always deterred me - wasn't he in a band with Buckethead for a while? Crazy...

Yes he has worked with Bucket"load of shit"head.

Wonder if he had to buy him a doll before he could work with him...dunno what side project it is he worked with him for...

Hes also worked with Sepultura as well.

And probably has credits on about 5 million albums from Deftones to Korn and to Slipknot.

Hes a legend!

He only worked with Seps on Roots and the Australian only EP The Waist. The only thing he did with Jonathen Davis was on the Roots album too, besides that i dont think you'll ever see him work with that dickhead.

What did he do with Bucket, i had no idea he did anything with that guy ???

N' whats the Dillinger Escape Plane, never heard of it ???

I meant on an influence basis and level...i didnt mean worked with, although i have to say i wasnt very clear.


Im downloading some material at the moment. :D


An Extreme Metalcore band. He did and EP with them and played some live shows a couple of years ago.

Dillinger Escape PLAN appeared on that Hardcore tribute to Guns N Roses earlier this year.

Its a band called 'Moonraker' or something like that

No you Dildo. Thats a James Bond Film!!!! ;)

Info and pics from one of their shows

They ARE called Moonraker : ok:

Moonraker
Mike Patton - voice and vocals
DJ Eddie Def - rythm and scratch
Buckethead - basic music
Moonraker performed at the Knitting Factory, LA in December 18., 2000.

I was joking you girl! :P

Thanks for the information, i didnt know that was the collaboration's name, im downloading one of their shows though...from the couple of tracks that ive heard its typical Patton.

Obscure as fuck!

Anyone here listen to any of his bands?  He puts out new music quicker than a Mike Tyson K.O. in 1988.  You probably know him from Faith No More.  My favorite bands of his is Mr. Bungle and Tomahawk.  He is also in a band called Fantomas.  Aside from collaborating with a million different artists he teamed up with buckethead a few years back in san fran.  Check out a mr bungle song called quote unqoute and another called desert search for techno allah.  Tomahawk song- god hates a coward.

We had a thread on this a month or so - Patton is a truly amazing vocalist, its a shame he doesn't settle on one project and really make a go of it - Faith no more's 'Real thing' and 'Angel Dust' are fantastic

The peeping tom stuff u downloaded isnt really peeping tom.  Its demos he recorded with Kaada. The name of the albumn will be called comfort system. Kaada is on Mikes Ipecac recordings label.  Peeping tom is being recorded as we speak.

The Dillinger Escape Plan plays progressive fusion jazz hardcore metal :) Check out the song 'Pig Latin' from the 'Irony is a Dead Scene' EP, that's classic Patton right there!

kinda like Carry Stress in the Jaw (Mr. Bungle) type shit hey ???

i love that stuff!!! : ok:

I have seen:
Faith No More with (Metallica and GNR) Angel Dust Tour
Faith No More - King For  A Day tour
Mr. Bungle - Disco Volante Tour
Mr. Bungle - California Tour - Twice
Mr. Bungle - Snow Core Tour (3rd California)
Tomahawk (opening for tool)

I have also seen the following Trey Spruance acts:
Secret Chiefs 3
Faxed Head

I have met Patton several times and he is a really nice guy too.

Check out Lovage if you haven't already.....

Angel Dust was the shit!

"A small victory..........." Love that shit!

Most definately but as for The Real Thing i just don't see what the big thing is aside from the albums singles i think it sucks.  Don't get me wrong i think Patton is great and really love Mr. Bungle [im yet to check out his other projects] but The Real Thing just doesn't do it for me and when it's talked about as their best album it really pisses me off.  Mr. Bungle is ace though i think California is better than Disco Volante :yes:

The big thing about The Real Thing is that it's sheer brilliance from start to finish. The only weakish track is The Morning After, but that aside.. Songs like Woodpecker From Mars and Surprise! You're Dead! kick so much ass it's ridiculous :)

I'm a little surprised no one brought up his solo CDs.

wait, no I'm not.  :P

i have his first solo CD, just Mike Patton theme album...
intense, just him in a hotel room all over the world with a 4 track n' his microphone, only for the experimental, most people would touch it, i dig it!!

Yes, Yes,Yes!

Suprise your dead fucking rules dude!

That whole album rules! Even though its not as varied as their others, its incredible! I like Zombie Eaters.

Alright guys, you have to help me out. I started listening to FNM after that "Axl vs Other Vocalists" thread where you guys recommended Mike Patton. I listened to Easy, Midlife Crisis,  Edge of the World and A Small Victory and those are absolutely awesome. Now, can some of you recommend songs similar to those that he has done...I've dl'd some other songs by him where it sounds like he is rapping, I have yet to start appreciating them. TIll then, can you name a few good songs where his vocal talent shines?

just get 'Angel Dust' n' 'Album Of The Year' to start of with

I would recommened TRT for new listeners, but if he wants to dig deeper fast I guess AD is right.

See, I'm only familiar with Faith No More. I've been meaning to listen to more Tomahawk, seeing as they supported Tool, and I loved what I heard. But I'm such a lazy faggot.

Everything's Ruined for best song they ever did?

seems to me from the above posts that FNM's King for a day....album doesn't receive it's just due...it's terribly underrated from critics and fans alike...Happen to be a huge Patton fan...Heard all of his bands and collected most of his one-offs....Was fortunate enough to see Bungle 5 times (4 on Cali tour, one Sno-core show).....I managed to meet Patton 2 nights in a row at Irving Plaza, NYC in '99...really nice guy, although seems a bit stand-offish initially....That night at Irving was amazing...First time seeing Bungle, and I actually had the opportunity to hang out with Trey Spruance for a good half-hour plus...Peeping Tom has been perrenially delayed, but hopefully it'll see the light of day in '05, along wiith another Fantomas release...

King For A Day
I started A Joke (cover)
Spanish Eyes (cover)
Absolute Zero
The Gentle Art Of Making Enemies
Kindergarten
Malpractice
Land Of Sunshine

Not to sway too far off topic (although in theory I really am), but what do you guys think of Chuck's work with the band?

I, personally....

...Think that they did record some really good songs.

Chuck was a stylist not a true singer - he was the art in the art-rock band Faith No More was at the time

Popular opinion says his firing was due to smoking too much crack and watching too much porn which affected his ability to write or perform

Yeah, I'm lead to believe that....
Although, Introduce Yourself features some kick ass songs, such as We Care A Lot (obviously), Anne's Song and Crab Song. They're all pretty much up there with FNM's best.

Actually I prefer the We Care A Lot Album to Introduce Yourself.  We Care A Lot had "As The Worm Turns" on it!

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000007U26/qid=1097332567/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_1/103-8282199-2269457?v=glance&s=music

I just read somewhere that during a tour that Faith no more shared with Guns, mike was supposedly talking smack about Guns and had to apologize to axl's face? uh, does anyone know the dish about this?

Mike talked shit about Axl at the shows and in the press. It was the GNR/Metallica/FNM tour

When James Hetfield caught fire on stage the tour was delayed - through contractual obligation Faith No More had to do the make-up dates and the US tour for Angel Dust got screwed.  I think FNM tried to get kicked off the tour by insulting Axl a lot - I don't remember Patton ever apologizing to Axl though.  I doubt that happened.

man i love that song, get the live at Brixton Acadamy vid, it has As The Worm Turns with Patton n' it just kicks arse!!!!!

Searching 'bout on old t'internet i found this which i found amusing, it's a limited edition part of a Faith No More bootleg, even though plenty of copies of the CD were available this was only supposedly avaiable with 10 copies; (http://www.fnm.com/promo/CDBUnderPatch.gif) Translated as I Vomit In The Asshole Of Axl Rose :hihi:

 :o :o :o wow :o :o :o :o :o

 thats funny as, dude :hihi:
wonder if Patton wrote it.

nice one : ok:

I love that song too. I remember seeing that a long long time ago on a sat morning video show......... :P

Argh, the Chuck version of As the Worm Turns is horrible!

Patton's version is genius though.

Aye, so it be true.

"Album of the Year"
Is good, but "King for a Day,
Fool for a Lifetime"

Is criminally
Underrated by people.
There's some great rock there

But it also takes
Inspiration from Frazer's
Famed "The Golden Bough"

An interesting
Sociological text
Of myth and science.

Mike's vocals are so
Genuine and quite heartfelt
And, of course, unique.

/Mike

Yeah it's a cracking album.  I guess it get's bad press cos there are no songs that shout out hit single.  The Last To Know is one of the top tunes on there, nothing beats The Gentle Art of Making Enemies though, rocking track, and i love the vocals on that.

It has Naked In Front Of The Computer on it!  :D

And i do dig the cover of I Started A Joke.

Wasnt Ashes to Ashes a single off AOTY?

Whats the score with the Peeping Tom release?

Even Wikipedia has no decent detail about it...

peeping tom comes out on may 30th.

 pm me for a sneak peak at it.

Mike Patton FTW.

I think "diggin the grave" is the best Faith No MOre Song! Killer!! :beer:

fav. of the week.....

Midnight Cowboy
Smaller and Smaller   : ok: : ok: : ok:

King for a Day Fool for a Lifetime is my favorite FNM album as well.  I am really looking forward to the new Peeping Tom album too.

Its a good album but not as cohesive as other FNM efforts

Angel Dust is a masterpiece IMO

I just had to bump this thread in praise of Lovage and 'Music to Make Love to Your Old Lady By' ----> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_to_Make_Love_to_Your_Old_Lady_By

Awesome lyrics and quality music, I'm getting a bit of DJ Shadow vibe off of this. Definitely a must for any Patton fans!

Wikipedia says they might be coming out with a new album soon, that's brilliant if it's true...

I'm with you on that.  Angle Dust will always be, for me, *the* FNM album.
