Faith No More to reform? - Page 3

Moldiver · 28th January 2009, 11:17pm

Was thinking a couple of weeks ago it would be great if they reformed.

I like early Faith No More but can't fucking stand any other kind of funk-metal type of thing, unless you think Bad Brains ripped off Faith No More, and I enjoy some later Faith No More as well but can't really think of any other synth-incorporating heavy rock that I'm into either. Most the music I listen to is performed by either black guys trying to convince me I'd have a better life if I quit my job and sold drugs or white guys in baseball caps and bermuda shorts trying to convince me they have valid opinions on politics.
Also, that picture is fucking amazing. Word on the street is that it has been posted on the forum at least one other time in the past week, like it's some kind of secret shame of mine. I'm dressed exactly like that as I type this, RIGHT NOW. Only embarrassing thing about that photo is how skinny I am in it, BEFORE I BECAME THE MONSTROUS BRUISER OF TODAY!

On topic, I used to dig Faith No More a lot as a teenager but now they're just "pretty alright". I think I lost a lot of interest in Mike Patton related stuff in general when he kept releasing more music that wasn't Faith No More and it was universally rubbish but people still pretended like it was good anyway.

Mind that 'classical' cd of Patton's you gave me, after about 42 months of pestering? Shite, it is.

Joe Spinebuster · 29th January 2009, 6:41pm

Wasn't "classical", just had a cello in it. But no - I don't remember any of the actual sounds on the record, I've mentally blocked them.
That shit has been stinking up my shelves for nearly a decade now and yet it probably got more listens while you had a loan of it than it ever has in my house. I need to fuckin' shift it just to improve the karma of my CD collection. A quick scan of eBay shows that I could be getting somewhere in the range of £6 for that bad boy! Good to see Patton fans are still as rabid to snap up his work as ever!

Just realised I mentioned Bad Brains in a thrad that Chuck Moseley's name has also been brought up in. Before someone jumps in to drop radical musical history knowledge on my ass... I know.

Tomawhawk, Mondo Cane, Peeping Tom and Crudo = All awesome. He did go a bit eclectic after Faith No More for a while.

CHUCK LIDELOL · 29th January 2009, 6:53pm

Lovage too is awesome.

MarkMono · 29th January 2009, 6:55pm

Crudo is basically Lovage with an amazing live band.

So much rather see them than an FNM reunion.

"Awesome" is overselling it a bit. Tomahawk was overwhelmingly mid-card material, and the overly long wait and accompanying hype for Peeping Tom made listening to how uninspiring it was when it finally came out probably the lowest point of my life since Wee Gay Bryan or Gay Wee Bryan or whatever the accepted phrasing is got his equally wee gay / gay wee cock out at a party and chased me down the hall with it. Mondo Cane is the embodiment of everything that ruins Patton for me post-FNM; I hate all this slicked-back hair, finger clicking "I'm incredibly on the fringe of musical hipness" shit. That video where Patton verbally destroys Wolfmother for being incredibly outdated and irrelevant is hilarious because of how right he is, but also because of how fairly ironic it is coming from him.

CHUCK LIDELOL · 29th January 2009, 7:14pm

Aye agree with his constant ripping of 'boring' bands. His try-hard projects don't exclude him from criticism though it makes it easy for Haterz of the likes of Wolfmother to associate more with him, as he's STICKIN IT TO THE MAN MAN! etc.

I mean, in an effort to disassociate from the extremely moribund output of these 'boring' bands, these fans flock more towards the extremely convoluted aspects of artists like Patton. That's my view though. I neither regard these 'boring' bands nor patton's experimental shit worthy of my opinion.

MarkMono · 29th January 2009, 7:19pm

I still maintain that the second Tomahawk album is fucking murderous.

Great stuff. Even with the trash (Paging Adult Themes For Voice) he's had at least four albums worth of music I love and listen to regularly since Faith No More.

Fantomas I can take or leave, they're so much better live than I've ever found listening to their albums to be. Not sure about what you're saying about the whole 'slicked-back hair, finger clicking "I'm incredibly on the fringe of musical hipness"' thing as that was Mike Patton for the latter half of Faith No More's career.

Joe Spinebuster · 29th January 2009, 7:27pm

Didn't really dig later Faith No More so much.

CHUCK LIDELOL · 29th January 2009, 10:36pm

First two Tomahawk albums are fuckin legit good rocken roll. Third one is interesting but I've not given it enough of a discerning listen.

I want more imperial teen

He always got the slicked back hair these days.

I like a lot of his musical output, but I'd say I listen to FNM or Bungle most regularly. Probably best to see some of the more recent stuff live, particularly the Kaada and Fantomas/Melvins dvds.
