Thanks, haven't seen that in years

Fascinating (or not) fact of the day: Mike Patton provided the 'voices' for the silly CGI vampire things in 'I Am Legend'.

Easily one of the most underrated bands. Lots of great music and a fierce willingness to try darn near anything.

Fascinating (or not) fact #2: He also did all the monster noises in the 360 game The Darkness.

Dude can do some ridiculous things with those pipes.

Kids, in 1988, this was what passed for 'badass.'

Now, not so much.

My buddy told me this the other day. Great example of how using analogue/organic sources > using machines and tons of effects. Same goes for visual effects.

Fascinating (or not) fact #3: He provided the voice of the anger module of GlaDOS in 'Portal'.

Mike's still a badass. I give you The Godfather by Fantomas.

I stopped paying attention to Faith No More after Chuck Mosely was booted.

Badass doesn't date kid. Halfassed opinions however...

That's rather like many videos of that time.

Great album, I listened to that and Ritual de lo Habitual together a lot.

IIRC, this was more "cool" than "badass." Slayer and Motorhead were more in the badass category.

 
Gilgongo! 2008-05-30 09:42:22 AM  
This is one of those bands I always wanted to see live, but never had the opportunity. I imagine they put on some amazing shows.

This is true. Lemmy is the walking embodiment of badass.

As much as I love this album, I always finding myself skipping Epic and Falling to Pieces. The former hasn't aged well and I never really liked the latter.

That's when I went from "these guys are pretty good" to "holy shiat, these guys are phenomenal." Mosley really, really sucked, especially in comparison to Patton.

Great song off a great album. Thanks Subby!

You knew someone was going to come in here and say this.

"I liked them way better when Courtney Love was singing for them."

I remember seeing this video on MTV when I was like, 10, and wondering just what the hell it all meant. 18 years later, I'm still not sure I know what it means.

 
jayhawk88 2008-05-30 10:51:40 AM  
I remember being reminded of this song back when 3 Kings (I think) came out and used this in a scene right at the beginning of the movie, one of those "Damn I remember that song" moments. It's still in my iPod rotation.

 
GameVoid 2008-05-30 10:53:22 AM  
I always thought this song was WAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYY better than that overplayed "Epic".

I don't think there was a song on this disk I didn't like.this another one I like Evidence (new window)

With Mosley they at least had a marginally unique sound. If I wanted to listen to a band that sounds like King's X, I'd listen to King's X. Now get off my lawn.

I was cranking Angel Dust on the way home yesterday and screaming out the lyrics just like Mike.

I spit all over my steering wheel/dashboard.

that's what i do on my days off. just drive around and ask my windshield if it sings or whistles just for fun.

Wow that brings me back. Just when everything on MTV was Whitesnake this, and Metallica that...here came FNM. What a great f'n band they were.

Mosely could never pull off Link (new window)

And don't ever compare Kings X to Patton, unless you want to become know as major

 
Endzone108 2008-05-30 06:33:41 PM  
First concert ever was Billy Idol and FNM at the Omni in Atlanta back in 91/92... something like that. I've been hooked on them and everything Mike Patton has done since. Did "We Care a Lot" at karaoke a couple weeks ago and it ruled.

/... about disease baby, ROCK HUDSON ROCK YEAH!

You're right. Patton is little more than a novetly act like Yoko Ono.

 
Pedromeatball 2008-05-30 09:40:02 PM  
Does anyone else think that this video effectively put a stop to FNM's run at bigger things?

Yes, I know that they would always be a bit too esoteric and/or combative for major mainstream acceptance. But it always struck me that this video was meant to be "Epic #2", which pigeonholed an un-pigeonhole-able band.

I'm just thankful they didn't try to repeat the video formula for "From Out Of Nowhere". Mulligan approved.

/"A small Victory" takes the cake

MetalGator 2008-05-30 11:51:24 PM  
FNM, Helmet, and Jane's Addiction deserve a lot of credit for bringing rock out of the hair metal power ballad era.

 
cubsfan07 2008-06-01 12:56:04 AM  
I love you, subby.


Back then I wasn't real familiar with FNM other than "Epic", but I remember going to see Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey when I was 11 and the audience f*cking ERUPTED when "Sir James Martin" came on screen.

There are plenty of songs on Angel Dust that trump this track. Caffeine? Smaller and Smaller? Even the opener Land of Sunshine?
