Fun fact: Jim Martin (the guitar player) went to high school with Cliff Burton (Metallica) and they were in a band together before they joined Faith no More and Metallica respectively
Faith No More stylistically is all over the genre map, chili peppers were one trick pony‘s, There’s no comparison, I don’t hate the chili peppers but Anthony Kiedis is not even in the same building as Mike Patton vocally
It says a lot that my favorite RHCP songs featured another vocalist alongside Kiedis. That person being Josh Klinghoffer, the guy who replaced, and then was replaced by, John Fruscianti. Look Around and Monarchy of Roses are good examples. And Josh had a song called Anymore that's just him signing.
This is the song Corey Taylor apparently returns too when he is having a hard time it inspires him to keep going and what makes him want to be a musician.
Mike Patton was 22 years old when he joined the band and wrote the lyrics to this entire album in under two weeks. Their song The Real Thing from this album is one of my absolute most favourite songs, and the lyrics are incredible. It's amazing that he came up with them at 22 years old. He's on another level!
Got to see them live 2 times back then. 1st opening for Billy Idol and the 2nd up at Day on the Green after Soundgarden and before Queensrych and Metallica.
These days, guitarist Jim Martin is a farmer in California, growing giant pumpkins. I had some friends who grew giant pumpkins as well, and they knew him from the giant pumpkin community. Some of these pumpkins were the size of small cars, over 1800 pounds.
There is so much I can say about Mike Patton! What a brilliant human being, he is such a talent! I love every project he’s ever done! The man is an absolute genius
Jim Martin was the guitarist and he left after falling out with the rest of the band during the making of their follow up album "Angel Dust". He had great guitar chops though.
@@marksantandrea469 He left way before King for a Day was even thought about. In fact he only got credited with contributing to the writing of one track on Angel Dust..
Just for those concerned. The fish at the end was fine. Put back in the tank and lived a normal tank fish life. Lol I remember seeing that in an interview. Fish can breath out of water until their gills start drying up.

There has been lot's about the beef between Patton and Kiedis. It kicked off after the album that Epic is on (The Real Thing) came out in 1989 and Kiedis said Patton was copying his style, or needed to get a style of his own. FNM never really cared and if anything it gave them some free publicity. Patton has gone on record as being critical of rockstars with ego’s and always gone against the trope himself. Things went really bad at the end of the 90's when RHCP and Mr Bungle (who were both on Warner Bros recond label) released albums with very similar titles - Californication and California respectively. The story goes that Kiedis got the record company to delay the Mr Bungle release so that RHCP's album would come out first. Then he got Mr Bungle kicked off a number of high profile festivals in Europe and Australia. In fairness, Mr Bungle did go on stage dressed as RHCP and played some of their songs whilst also being less than complimentary (look up the video, it's WILD!). FNM and Mr Bungle have both utilised many different styles in their music, funk being one of them. FNM and Mr Bungle though progressed way beyond this and have done so much diverse stuff it's actually mind boggling. RHCP have always just been RHCP...
I will forever ask for more Mike Patton!!! I can't remember if you did The Land of Sunshine yet, but it's one of my favorites! If you REALLY want to see his vocal ability, check out This Guy's in Love With You the live version. It's a great tribute to Burt Bacharach (RIP). So yeah, more Patton please!!
Mike Patton went on to do a LOT of voice actor work, as well. I play Left 4 Dead, and was shocked that the zombies and infected screeches and voices were made by him! It sounds so awesome and freaky.
This song came out when I was in elementary school, and this video was so good. I loved watching it when it was on. FNM and Mike Patton especially really influenced my style and love for certain genres. Sidenote I remember when the video gained controversy due to the scene at the end where the fish is out of water and appears to be dying on camera. PETA went after them. And MTV cut that end off when showing the video for a while.
I was in college when this album came out and I saw them open for Billy Idol. I got to meet FNM at an autograph session before the show and they signed my copy of "The Real Thing". There was a lot of good music around that time right before grunge screwed everything up. LOL
The 90's was born with this song. First mainstream success they had but personally 'We Care A Lot' was their breakthrough track. RHCP did it first BUT out of the 2, Epic was the first to crack the US Top 10. Next FNM track isn't with Patton but it should be the one mentioned 'We Care A Lot' because you guys will know it!
Seeing as FNM started in 1979, I don't think you can say peppers did it first. They got recognized first but they more or less started at the same time
@@djimpetus the question was about funk metal anyways and when they were Faith No More officially in 83, funk became part of their sound. As Sharp Young Men & Faith No Man, they were Sabbath heavy.
No - the RHCP DID NOT 'do it first'. Faith No More formed in 1977 - and were already exploring the fusion of rap and hard-core and rock sub-genres. The chillies were in school when Faith No More were an established touring and writing act. #factcheck
This is the video that started the feud between Anthony and Mike. Anthony thought that Mike was ripping off his stage moves in this video. He was worried that people would think RHCP was ripping off FNM because prior to this RHCP had not had a mainstream hit. While I enjoy both FNM and RHCP, I can't really see any correlation between their music. They really sound nothing alike, and if they are lumped together, it tends to be more because of the feud between Anthony and Mike more than any similarity in sound.
Patton has a plethora of bands. I'd recommend "God Hates a Coward" by Tomahawk, or "We're Not Alone" by Peeping Tom. Tomahawk is a rock band and Peeping Tom is more on the experimental side.
My feelings about the beef between FNM and RHCP can best be summed up by this iconic quote from Nick Cave: "I'm forever near a stereo saying, 'What the fuck is this garbage?' And the answer is always the Red Hot Chili Peppers.”
Roddy Bottom (now of the band Man on Man) plays keyboards for Faith No More. The fish was a gift from Björk, and used to sit in a bowl ontop of a piano in Roddy's Mom's house. PETA had a fit about the scene in the video and I recall an MTV interview with Bill (the bass player) and Roddy where they ask about the fish and one of them say something like (paraphrasing) "it gave the fish a part of its personality that it may not have known about before"
Holy shit guys!!! You're only NOW checking out Epic by FNM!?!??!!! This ENTIRE album is PURE🔥🔥🔥!! As for the fight between RHCP & FNM...all I can say about that is both bands mix Rick with other genres like rap and blues and funk....both are AWESOME, but different in their own unique ways...as you can probably tell from this song,FNM brings more of a Rock element to their music...whereas RHCP tends to lean in a more funk direction.however,both groups mix generes.both are fantastic!!!!😄I've seen both live several times in the 90's.Roddy Bottom was the guitarist of FNM at the time...piano.player as well.😊 BOTH bands are legends of the 90's!🎶✌
The FNM album this was on was called “The Real Thing”. The band had recorded all the music, but had no lyrics or vocals so they were looking for a new singer. Mike Patton was hired from Mr. Bungle and he wrote all the lyrics and melodies over a period of about 10 days. They wouldn’t let him even change anything about the songs. He modeled his appearance and dancing for this song and video to mock Anthony Keidis because Anthony had accused him of copying RHCP with Mr. Bungle, but Mike always had tons of styles of music in his band. Later, Faith No More played a Halloween show dressed up as RHCP, played some of their stuff really badly, and pretended to shoot up on stage. It was pretty rough. The big salt-in-the-wound moment was when FNM won a Grammy for this song.
If you love piano…you need to check out TORI AMOS!!! In concert, she’s typically seen straddling a piano bench while playing TWO PIANOS AT ONCE…one on her left and one on her right! Btw, knowing y’all like Tool….she has a song called “Past The Mission” that has Maynard on backing vocals!!
when Mike found out Anthony was talking smack. Anthony was accusing Patton of using his dance moves. He did a Mr. Bungle show where the whole band dressed up like RHCP and played all their songs. Just to piss them off. Patton wins in a fight. Lol.
Rap metal was already around, anthrax did I'm the man in 1984, run DMC had a few heavy guitar driven songs even before the Aerosmith collaboration. Not to mention the John Lydon/afrikka bambaata collaboration
This was indeed their breakthrough. Not my favourite FNM song by a long way but great reaction as always. Midlife Crisis is a 🔥 FNM song for next time.
It was by far the biggest American single. And if I'm not mistaken the music was already done and then they fired Chuck from the band so Mike came in to fill lyrics and angel dust was their first album as a collaborative unit
Another of the multitude of reasons why the 90s was the greatest era in music. In all time I know people like the 60s and '70s but the '90s resonates with me much more
The 90s really had the best production as well. There are a lot of straight classic records from the early to mid 90s that you have to turn up the volume for if you've been listening to stuff from other eras, because the dynamics are way better, which you can't achieve if you're peaking the audio all the time.
That album is 💯% mind blowing. No one was ready to listen and valorate that new way of creating music. Was my first stuff I bought with my cash at my 13 years! Which had hide for years until my family bought a CD PLAYER!
The Red Hot Chilli Peppers has been around since the late 70's but they didn't release their first album until 84 but they were a straight up funk band and then transitioned into what they are now by incorporating aspects of rock, punk, metal, grunge and even pop. I'm not the biggest fan of The Chilli Peppers, only liking maybe 3 of their songs but I think that's because they did jump around too much and couldn't find their own sound for a long time, because it wasn't like the incorporation of all those different styles was from a wide skill set, it was more from indecision than proficiency. Faith No More on the other hand released their first album in 1985 and was (in my opinion) more of the typical underground rock sound of the time. Then sometime between 87 and 88 they fired their original lead singer Chuck Mosley and replaced him with Mike Patton who brought in a wider range of sounds and styles which (I feel) were executed more naturally than The Chilli Peppers attempts and that's what irritated Anthony Kiedis, so he talked some smack and Mike Patton clapped back and back and forth for a little while until it just kinda faded away. That said I'd like to clarify that I'm not a huge Faith No More fan either also only liking about 3 songs the same as with The Chilli Peppers but for different reasons. Mainly most of their music just didn't hit home with me, just never made me feel any sort of way about any of it. (Except Epic, I love this song) as to who'd when in a fight I'd say back in the day Mike Patton would have moped the floor with Anthony Kiedis but if it went down today I think Anthony might have the upper hand having stayed more physically active and into sports like skateboarding whereas Mike I don't think has done the same, not saying he hasn't but I haven't seen anything about him doing anything of the sort.
Mike Patton has one of the best vocal ranges since the 90's and Jim Martin is an amazing guitar player,,,Jim Martin also had a guest appearance in Bill and Ted's bogus journey,,, Also check out FNM cover of (Easy)
Their album The Real Thing is fantastic. There is a piano part at the end of “Self Destructor” by CheVelle. They said that part was an homage to “Epic”.
FNM started '79 and RHCP started in '82. SF/LA rivals Check out the Mike Patton/Dillinger escape plan collab EP especially the track "When Good Dogs Do Bad Things" Check out the Faith No More concert where they cosplayed as RHCP love the channel, you guys have gotten me (metalhead) more into rap again lately.
"Epic" ruled rock radio throughout the 1990's. MTV played the video for the song quite often as well. The video was somewhat provocative too, given how it ends with a fish out of water and gasping at the air. I read the lyrics as if they were an updated version of the sentiments expressed in The Rolling Stones "I Can't Get No Satisfaction", that is, as push back against the consumer pressures put on society by commercial interests and the impossibility of attaining the idealized good life depicted in advertising. As for the question and answer, "What is it? It's it", well, this is a bit cheeky, but Faith No More is from San Francisco and in nearby Burlingame there is a company that has been making an ice cream sandwich called "It's-It" since 1976. So a "It's-It" is a slab of vanilla ice cream sandwiched between two oatmeal cookies and dipped in chocolate! [grin]
It was hilarious that back when this first came out (before the internet) that not only was the song a big hit, but there was SO much controversy about the fish out of water dying (or not) at the end of the video.
There was something between Patton and Kiedis. It carried over until 1999/2000 at least when Mr Bungle and RHCP were booked at the same festival around the release of Mr Bungles California and RHCP's Californication. Kiedis being the diva he is refused to play if Bungle was there, so Mr Bungle was removed from the show. This was followed by an Epic Halloween performance by Bungle where they mocked the OD death of Chili Pepper guitarist Hilel Slovak. Patton is god
Smokey is on to something. If there was a beef between Faith No More and the Chili Peppers this video ramps it up a notch. My money is on Mike Patton. Station!
The guitar player was Jim Marten. He was asked to leave the band sometime because of substance abuse. FNM is actually the progenitor of bands like Limp Bizkit, Lincoln Park.
These guys turned the music scene on its head almost as much as the RUN DMC/Aerosmith crossover did. But the question isn't who did it first, it's who did it better. And, for the record, you always, always bet on crazy...trust me, those tiny guys can turn into a tasmanian devil at the drop of a hat...and they are brutal. I saw a 150 pound guy that's 5'6" throw a 6' 200 pound beast of a man through every window in the victim's car, break his neck, throw his corpse to the ground and then started screaming at the corpse. He literally said, "You just had to fuk around, didn't you, couldn't leave me alone, could you...now look at you." And then he just walked back into the bar and got a beer. Was as polite as a man could ever to the police that arrested him too. Crazy...
I cant believe yall just now doing this song ! But Anywho , FNM is a band where every album sounds different and was ahead of the times on each one ! Not to mention the MANY Mike Patton albums he did that were off the wall in different forms . Like Mr. Bungle . That was crazy and was before he joined FNM . I loved the original FNM singer too , but Mike skyrocketed them to king status ! But every one in that band , drums , bass , keys and guitarist with Mikes one of a kind voice and lyrics made FNM a must know band !
I've never been a big red hot chili peppers fan but yes this does sound like suck my kiss. I even knew that back in the 90 early 90s. I believe what is it was directed at Anthony.
I believe Roddy Bottum, the keyboardist was in Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey. He did a number of movies over the years as he is also an actor. By the way, FMN is more of a rock/metal style than RHCP. Funny, this is the first time I have heard there was a beef between the bands.
Morning guys! Oh man this song takes me back! They used to play it on MTV all the time! One of my favs! I LOVE the bass in this one!( And that guitar tho!! ) Lol. You should definitely check out the song "midlife crisis" next for sure!❤🤓🎸
Jim Martin is their Guitarist. He played in FNM from 84 till 93. He was replaced by Trey from Mr. Bungle in 94'. Roddy Bottum is FNM's Keyboardist/Pianist. Hes an open Homosexual & brings alot of the Pop & Melodies to FNM's Music. RHCP started in 82'. First album 84'. Were always just a funk/punk band. FNM started in 82' as well but were more Post Punk & New Wave influenced by Bands like Killing Joke & Public Image Ltd. Who would Win in a Fight? Well Keidis is more physically fit & probably Physically Stronger but Mike Patton is Crazy af. Keidis was jealous & felt threatened. Patton runs circles around him vocally & with talent.
There were a few things said in interviews from both sides, Kiedis was more pissed about the look and style of patton more than the music. He felt patton was directly rippin him off..The hight of the "beef" was a parody show done by Mr Bungle where they dressed up as the Chilli peppers, mocked there drug addictions, and dead band members. Kiedis lost it after that. In the end it was Mr Bungle that suffered the most as Kiedis had them thrown off a bunch of big festivals refusing to play on the same bill as them and had there final album release date delayed due to the similarities in title to chilli peppers California/Californication..Mr Bungle disappeared for 20 years.
You can see parts of the parody show on CZcams, and there is an interview with Fantomas(another Patton band with members of Bungle,Slayer and Melvins) where they are less than nice to Kiedis.
I was right about 10 years old when this song came out and it blew me away. This and Cult of Personality by Living Colour shaped what I got into far more than Smells Like Teen Spirit did.
Big Jim Martin on guitar, they fell out after the Angel dust album and he left. Keyboard player was Roddy Bottum, he came out in 93 a brave move back then in rock, and he said he was surprised with his name that nobody guessed
Back when Regis Philbin was hosting Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, I remember seeing Faith No More's drummer Roddy Bottum as a contestant. It wasn't a celebrity episode. He just showed up as a regular guy and nobody made any mention of it.
This was definitely a big fued. Mike was on tour with Mr Bungle and on Halloween in Michigan they dressed up like RHCP and started making fun of Anthony's drug use. Rock and Roll True Stories (on CZcams) has a good video about it if you want to learn more. PS: I agree with the other comments. You guys should check out Midlife Crisis by FNM and "Mojo" by another Patton project called Peeping Tom. You guys would really dig that.
Fun fact: Jim Martin (the guitar player) went to high school with Cliff Burton (Metallica) and they were in a band together before they joined Faith no More and Metallica respectively
I love seeing old Metallica interviews where they are wearing FNM shirts
Jim's cameo was the best part of Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey
Martin's work on Angel Dust is the best ive heard on a rock album
That's so cool!

In concert, she’s typically seen straddling a piano bench while playing TWO PIANOS AT ONCE…one on her left and one on her right!
Btw, knowing y’all like Tool….she has a song called “Past The Mission” that has Maynard on backing vocals!!
Past the mission is actually Trent Reznor singing. Maynard is on Muhammad my friend. She's amazing live and yes she plays two pianos often!
@@Kelly30stm
Crap!
Damn it...I got mixed up for a minute...lol. Good catch!
@@PhantomOfTheMall no worries! I love them both!
I’ve seen her live, she’s amazing ✨
This song and video is how I discovered them!
This whole album is epic !
First one on the list today. Now we move to the nest Fear Factory song Fear Campaign!!!
when Mike found out Anthony was talking smack. Anthony was accusing Patton of using his dance moves. He did a Mr. Bungle show where the whole band dressed up like RHCP and played all their songs. Just to piss them off. Patton wins in a fight. Lol.
Completely unique. A precursor to all rap metal.
Rap metal was already around, anthrax did I'm the man in 1984, run DMC had a few heavy guitar driven songs even before the Aerosmith collaboration. Not to mention the John Lydon/afrikka bambaata collaboration
@@k.h.1587 yeah, that’s not the same as basing your whole sound around that theme, is it?
Y'all have to check out the live performance when they imitated the Chili Peppers for almost an entire set and played their songs lmao. Greatness.
The pretend shooting up lmao was gold
This was indeed their breakthrough. Not my favourite FNM song by a long way but great reaction as always. Midlife Crisis is a 🔥 FNM song for next time.
Yup midlife crisis would be good next:)
I think they did that one.
It was by far the biggest American single. And if I'm not mistaken the music was already done and then they fired Chuck from the band so Mike came in to fill lyrics and angel dust was their first album as a collaborative unit
They did midlife crisis two years ago! Crazy right?
@@fast_mattw8059 I know now. Can't believe I forgot. It doesn't feel like two years ago at all.
Mike Patton is a beautiful, brilliant, musical genius.
Excellent reaction! “Zombie Eaters” would be a great next review from FNM
Zombie eaters is one of the best song's ever written!!
Another of the multitude of reasons why the 90s was the greatest era in music. In all time I know people like the 60s and '70s but the '90s resonates with me much more
The 90s really had the best production as well. There are a lot of straight classic records from the early to mid 90s that you have to turn up the volume for if you've been listening to stuff from other eras, because the dynamics are way better, which you can't achieve if you're peaking the audio all the time.
@@DragonTigerBoss in just the fact of the explosion of genres of music that are the backbone of modern music today
That album is 💯% mind blowing. No one was ready to listen and valorate that new way of creating music. Was my first stuff I bought with my cash at my 13 years! Which had hide for years until my family bought a CD PLAYER!
The Red Hot Chilli Peppers has been around since the late 70's but they didn't release their first album until 84 but they were a straight up funk band and then transitioned into what they are now by incorporating aspects of rock, punk, metal, grunge and even pop. I'm not the biggest fan of The Chilli Peppers, only liking maybe 3 of their songs but I think that's because they did jump around too much and couldn't find their own sound for a long time, because it wasn't like the incorporation of all those different styles was from a wide skill set, it was more from indecision than proficiency. Faith No More on the other hand released their first album in 1985 and was (in my opinion) more of the typical underground rock sound of the time. Then sometime between 87 and 88 they fired their original lead singer Chuck Mosley and replaced him with Mike Patton who brought in a wider range of sounds and styles which (I feel) were executed more naturally than The Chilli Peppers attempts and that's what irritated Anthony Kiedis, so he talked some smack and Mike Patton clapped back and back and forth for a little while until it just kinda faded away. That said I'd like to clarify that I'm not a huge Faith No More fan either also only liking about 3 songs the same as with The Chilli Peppers but for different reasons. Mainly most of their music just didn't hit home with me, just never made me feel any sort of way about any of it. (Except Epic, I love this song) as to who'd when in a fight I'd say back in the day Mike Patton would have moped the floor with Anthony Kiedis but if it went down today I think Anthony might have the upper hand having stayed more physically active and into sports like skateboarding whereas Mike I don't think has done the same, not saying he hasn't but I haven't seen anything about him doing anything of the sort.
This is great. One of the 1st music videos I saw. It came on MTV right after Paradise City. The late 80s were awesome
Yes FNM love this tune it’s what really got me into them back in the day
FROM OUT OF NOWHERE is 🔥🔥🔥
🤟🤟🤟🏴🏴🏴
Congratulations you two on being in love with other men thanks for letting everyone know
Mike Patton has one of the best vocal ranges since the 90's and Jim Martin is an amazing guitar player,,,Jim Martin also had a guest appearance in Bill and Ted's bogus journey,,, Also check out FNM cover of (Easy)
Been done did catch up czcams.com/video/jrxS_IlpEls/video.html
Their album The Real Thing is fantastic.
There is a piano part at the end of “Self Destructor” by CheVelle. They said that part was an homage to “Epic”.
Love you guys' reactions.
FNM are legends, unique, influential.. So many good songs..
FNM started '79 and RHCP started in '82. SF/LA rivals
Check out the Mike Patton/Dillinger escape plan collab EP especially the track "When Good Dogs Do Bad Things"
Check out the Faith No More concert where they cosplayed as RHCP
love the channel, you guys have gotten me (metalhead) more into rap again lately.
FNM all the way!
My first concert in the 90ies was Faith No More, Guns´n Roses and Soundgarden and it was epic! Ha!😄
Yes! Not my first concert but I saw them in 92 when they opened for GNR and Metallica. Mike Patton was rolling around onstage in a plastic bag 😆
@@ShanLH5 Hahaha why does this not surprise me?
"Epic" ruled rock radio throughout the 1990's. MTV played the video for the song quite often as well. The video was somewhat provocative too, given how it ends with a fish out of water and gasping at the air. I read the lyrics as if they were an updated version of the sentiments expressed in The Rolling Stones "I Can't Get No Satisfaction", that is, as push back against the consumer pressures put on society by commercial interests and the impossibility of attaining the idealized good life depicted in advertising. As for the question and answer, "What is it? It's it", well, this is a bit cheeky, but Faith No More is from San Francisco and in nearby Burlingame there is a company that has been making an ice cream sandwich called "It's-It" since 1976. So a "It's-It" is a slab of vanilla ice cream sandwiched between two oatmeal cookies and dipped in chocolate! [grin]
It was hilarious that back when this first came out (before the internet) that not only was the song a big hit, but there was SO much controversy about the fish out of water dying (or not) at the end of the video.
I think I heard that the record label was going to drop them unless they gave them a hit. So this is It!
Lol.... I see what you did there!! 😂
This song is so cool. I love it as much as the first time I heard it when it first came out.
Could you also react on their top song “Zombie Eaters”? - From the same FNM-album: The Real Thing. Many thanks guys!
There was something between Patton and Kiedis. It carried over until 1999/2000 at least when Mr Bungle and RHCP were booked at the same festival around the release of Mr Bungles California and RHCP's Californication.
Kiedis being the diva he is refused to play if Bungle was there, so Mr Bungle was removed from the show. This was followed by an Epic Halloween performance by Bungle where they mocked the OD death of Chili Pepper guitarist Hilel Slovak.
Patton is god
I was fortunate enough to see them opening for Billy Idol. Excellent Show.
Smokey is on to something. If there was a beef between Faith No More and the Chili Peppers this video ramps it up a notch. My money is on Mike Patton. Station!
The goofy part is that Mike was ribbing the guy he replaced, Chuck Mosely, and not Anthony but in true Anthony fashion he made it all about himself 😂
This was indeed their breakout song.
The guitar player was Jim Marten. He was asked to leave the band sometime because of substance abuse.
FNM is actually the progenitor of bands like Limp Bizkit, Lincoln Park.
Jim was fired because he gave up on doing anything with or for the band. He wouldn't answer phone calls and stopped showing up for rehearsals and shit
These guys turned the music scene on its head almost as much as the RUN DMC/Aerosmith crossover did.
But the question isn't who did it first, it's who did it better.
And, for the record, you always, always bet on crazy...trust me, those tiny guys can turn into a tasmanian devil at the drop of a hat...and they are brutal.
I saw a 150 pound guy that's 5'6" throw a 6' 200 pound beast of a man through every window in the victim's car, break his neck, throw his corpse to the ground and then started screaming at the corpse. He literally said, "You just had to fuk around, didn't you, couldn't leave me alone, could you...now look at you."
And then he just walked back into the bar and got a beer.
Was as polite as a man could ever to the police that arrested him too. Crazy...
This is one song that whenever it comes on my "classic rock" station, I turn that shit up!!
I cant believe yall just now doing this song ! But Anywho , FNM is a band where every album sounds different and was ahead of the times on each one ! Not to mention the MANY Mike Patton albums he did that were off the wall in different forms . Like Mr. Bungle . That was crazy and was before he joined FNM . I loved the original FNM singer too , but Mike skyrocketed them to king status ! But every one in that band , drums , bass , keys and guitarist with Mikes one of a kind voice and lyrics made FNM a must know band !
I love me some Faith No More …classic 😉🎶🎶EPIC ✨ has always been one of my fav all time songs so nostalgic 🎶music is life 🎶💯✌🏽
I remember how controversial this video was with the fish flopping around on the piano at the end. PETA jumped all over it saying the fish was dying.
I've never been a big red hot chili peppers fan but yes this does sound like suck my kiss. I even knew that back in the 90 early 90s. I believe what is it was directed at Anthony.
You're not wrong about the sound... but this was actually released 3 years before suck my kiss 😆
I believe this song came out before Suck My Kiss
I believe Roddy Bottum, the keyboardist was in Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey. He did a number of movies over the years as he is also an actor. By the way, FMN is more of a rock/metal style than RHCP. Funny, this is the first time I have heard there was a beef between the bands.
Major points for rockin the Acid Bath tee!! Fuck yeah!!
The drummer from Faith no more actually played for Ozzy for a bit,You can see him on the video of I just don't wanna to stop.
This is one of those that I remember turning it all the with the windows down 🤘😎
Morning guys! Oh man this song takes me back! They used to play it on MTV all the time! One of my favs! I LOVE the bass in this one!( And that guitar tho!! ) Lol. You should definitely check out the song "midlife crisis" next for sure!❤🤓🎸
They have czcams.com/video/h2COS1UfKLI/video.html
I love this group.
Jim Martin is their Guitarist. He played in FNM from 84 till 93. He was replaced by Trey from Mr. Bungle in 94'.
Roddy Bottum is FNM's Keyboardist/Pianist. Hes an open Homosexual & brings alot of the Pop & Melodies to FNM's Music.
RHCP started in 82'. First album 84'. Were always just a funk/punk band. FNM started in 82' as well but were more Post Punk & New Wave influenced by Bands like Killing Joke & Public Image Ltd.
Who would Win in a Fight? Well Keidis is more physically fit & probably Physically Stronger but Mike Patton is Crazy af. Keidis was jealous & felt threatened. Patton runs circles around him vocally & with talent.
Falling to Pieces is 🔥
The last track on this album is a cover of Black Sabbath's, WAR PIGS, HE NEARLY SOUNDS IDENTICAL TO OZZY 😮
Still love this song. I think i was about 11yrs old when it came out and it definitely was Epic😊
The Acid Bath shirt is fire!!!
Saw them live in Bologna, Italy 1990. Amazing show
Loving your Acid Bath t-shirt! Respect!
There were a few things said in interviews from both sides, Kiedis was more pissed about the look and style of patton more than the music. He felt patton was directly rippin him off..The hight of the "beef" was a parody show done by Mr Bungle where they dressed up as the Chilli peppers, mocked there drug addictions, and dead band members. Kiedis lost it after that. In the end it was Mr Bungle that suffered the most as Kiedis had them thrown off a bunch of big festivals refusing to play on the same bill as them and had there final album release date delayed due to the similarities in title to chilli peppers California/Californication..Mr Bungle disappeared for 20 years.
You can see parts of the parody show on CZcams, and there is an interview with Fantomas(another Patton band with members of Bungle,Slayer and Melvins) where they are less than nice to Kiedis.
One of my crush’s growing up I was 19 years old when this came out 💃💃🔥🔥
So many memories with this. Nice.
That is definitely an 80's sweater. I recall FNM hitting before RHCP gained fame.
This came out the year I graduated. Still loving it ❤❤
I was right about 10 years old when this song came out and it blew me away. This and Cult of Personality by Living Colour shaped what I got into far more than Smells Like Teen Spirit did.
Big Jim Martin on guitar, they fell out after the Angel dust album and he left. Keyboard player was Roddy Bottum, he came out in 93 a brave move back then in rock, and he said he was surprised with his name that nobody guessed
Us Def Leppard/Poison hair metal guys weren't sure what to make of this. We wanted to hate it, but it is unstoppable
Saw them at hammer jacks. Chili peppers never had vocals this good
Back when Regis Philbin was hosting Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, I remember seeing Faith No More's drummer Roddy Bottum as a contestant. It wasn't a celebrity episode. He just showed up as a regular guy and nobody made any mention of it.
It's said about way more people/bands than is necessary (or true) but Faith No More was, indeed, ahead of its time with this style of music.
First saw these in 1992 with soundgarden and guns n roses... They were awesome 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Saw them live with Billy Idol and Wang Chung...son's favorite group😎😎😎
I love ACIDBATH, Great Shirt, that's picture is one of Dr. Kevorkian's paintings
This was definitely a big fued. Mike was on tour with Mr Bungle and on Halloween in Michigan they dressed up like RHCP and started making fun of Anthony's drug use. Rock and Roll True Stories (on CZcams) has a good video about it if you want to learn more.
PS: I agree with the other comments. You guys should check out Midlife Crisis by FNM and "Mojo" by another Patton project called Peeping Tom. You guys would really dig that.
