[@billbill3915]

Billy fuckin' Gould. Guy is my favorite bassist and it's not even close. So good. He's the most underrated bassist in music imo.

[@yakzilla3086]

He's the single most underrated, absolutely. Absolute machine. I always recommend "A Small Victory" live at MTV 1992 to anyone who disagrees. He slays it every time.

[@computerfile]

@@yakzilla3086 gonna go check that now. Guy is a monster.

[@johndoe-gp1fx]

Get the guantanamo school of medicine. With jello biafra. He lays some great bass lines.

[@williamkramer9731]

Pretty sad the chili peppers went out of their way to bury faith no more/Bungle because they knew they would get blown away by them

[@simonscott1121]

Yep, Gould is GOAT.

[@mmorta1]

One of the greatest albums ever. Every damn song is perfect.

[@danhann6598]

It was the perfect tour too !! 30 years .. wow

[@DM72513]

Great choice. Angel Dust is a masterpiece. "Malpractice" influenced a lot of 90s/2000s bands and I definitely would recommend Kindergarten for a reaction. Would be a totally different vibe from what you're used to.

[@husker6395]

I’d love to see him react to Everything’s Ruined or Crack Hitler 🤘🏻

[@careymilicich]

Absolutely agree. A top 5 album for me personally since its release. Why not do the whole album! I'd love to hear the reaction to RV

[@davebowden4010]

100%. And not shown the respect it deserves either

[@moor3trayvon47]

Malpractice, Jizzlobber and Caffeine are what influenced most 90s and 2000s stuff in my opinion. Also Cuckoo, I Won't Forget You and Ugly in the Morning too

[@acgijzen]

Finally seeing someone else giving Kindergarten some love!

[@cjonesufc]

Pretty much any track on this album is worth a deep dive. It’s still a revelation all these years later.

[@JayPhonomancer]

First time I heard it I was a bit confused and disappointed by it. It felt very different from The Real Thing but after a couple of listens I was obsessed. You're right, every single song is like a world unto itself. At one point I had Caffeine running around my head for days straight. I just could NOT get it out of my head!

[@b.l.fisher8230]

One of the most underrated albums in Rock history...

[@vpsoundlabs1956]

My favorite track has always been Smaller and Smaller. Still sounds ahead of its time

[@jackass72]

You ain't fuckin' kidding! I'll be 52 next month and this album is still one of my all time favorites. 32 years later, I'm still drawn back to it all the time. It's been called one of the most influential rock/metal albums of all time. A friggin' masterpiece as far as I'm concerned.

[@footnotedrummer]

Patton is so damn versatile. No one sounds like him.

[@EdenPrime7]

Exactly I feel like the Incubus guy is heavily influenced by Mike

[@MortalDeathGaming]

one band from UK who can't really talk about sounded quite a bit like Patton's vocals but a more nu metal sound

@@MortalDeathGaming is It Lostprophets??

[@neilpatrickhairless]

A bit of backstory behind this song: Jim Martin had stopped answering calls from the band and not really wanting to take part in as much of the songwriting for this album. It resulted in a bit of an elaborate plot to force Jim back into working. Mike wrote this song after a sleep deprivation experiment where he would take a shower, make breakfast and drink coffee in the middle of the night right before bed time and trick his body into staying awake. These lyrics are the result of extreme sleep deprivation hallucinations and loosely based on issues the band was having with Jim Martin.

[@ReBeLhIpI]

Wow, i never knew that. Thanks!

[@RumBuboe]

They played the song live in 1991 before the Angel Dust sessions so this isn’t wholly accurate.

Saw somewhere he was kinda perturbed because the music they were writing for this album didn't leave much room for him to play.

[@philippesalle9961]

Love FNM , they were so ahead of their time , "malpractice" is another killer on this album

[@NobodyCaresALot]

'Smaller and Smaller' is so great too. That and 'Malpractice' are such interesting tracks that stand out as challenging archetypes of the album but in very different ways.

[@b.l.fisher8230]

My favorite is what I consider the Angel Dust trilogy: Caffeine, Malpractice & Jizzlober. That last one being one my favorite FNM tracks of all time.

[@jody9721]

Faith No More have a full time keyboard player (and one of the main song writers) Roddy Bottum.

[@leahgawlik1157]

Love Faith No More ❣️ Angel Dust is a masterpiece 🔥 caffeine is amazing 😍

[@jackass72]

Couldn't agree more. Caffeine is my favorite FNM song.

[@billtbodger]

Angel Dust is one of my favourite albums of all time, so many fantastic tracks and then fun silly bits, I absolutely love Midlife Crisis, but nothing on the album ever gets skipped over

[@anthonymartin1S.A.]

Best album ever.i can not escape it.everytime is awesome

[@markdorval7844]

Definitely still here, my friend... This record was one of the most confounding major-label releases of at least the nineties, and perhaps all time. Just a delightful mishmash of styles and tempos, delivered with the perfect amount of insanity. These guys use more than pads. They have a genuine, dedicated keyboardist -- Roddy Bottum. Oh, and the dude responsible for those delicious, goober-worthy bass grooves is Billy Gould. He wrote the tune alongside the inimitable Mike Patton. Another killer choice off this album is 'Everything's Ruined,' and everyone seems to want to cover 'Midlife Crisis.'

[@neilpatrickhairless]

A lot of people don't know that Billy and Roddy actually write 98.9% of all of Faith No More's music. Including the drum and guitar parts

This takes me back to a great time in my late teens/early 20s. This and " Smaller And Smaller And Smaller" are my fav tracks on this album. Groundbreaking album and band. Alt metal pioneers which yes influenced nu metal.

[@creenathanson7443]

Crack Hitler by Faith No More really showcases the bass firsthand.

[@lungfulldrummer8921]

You mentioned pads. They have a keyboard player as a main member. So many great faith no more tracks with lots of different feels and vibes. I'd like to recommend their track Evidence. Has a lovely smokey lounge vibe.

[@bink]

King For A Day, Fool For A Lifetime is such an underrated gem from them. So many killer tracks... Evidence, Ricochet, The Gentle Art of Making Enemies, King For A Day, Digging The Grave. But it's oftentimes considered one of their lesser albums, maybe because the bar was set so high.

[@bogrot69]

@@bink I agree 100%

[@brandon_png9743]

Angel Dust is Phenomenal. It's crazy that an album that sounded like this was released under a major record label as a follow up to a highly successful album. There are plenty of good songs to pull from it if you ever do anymore FNM stuff. I also suggest The Gentle Art of Making Enemies or I Won't Forget You off of their next album King for a Day, Fool for a Lifetime, which is just as good as Angel Dust imo.

[@ribbo1]

aahhh Gentle Art of Making Enemies

[@djkurtz8211]

From what I read the studio that signed their original contract wasn't so happy with this one. They wanted another like the first ..... the quote I heard was something like never has there been a band to make a second album so designed to NOT make the charts. Two edged sword though. In the US (music industry grind mill that Prince et al were also battling with) FNM / Mike Patton faded out of popularity as no top singles to play all the time. BUT their unwillingness to buy into the "machine" also gave us the creative incredible songs we now have. I had to figure all of this out as I am in the US and of an age that was in my prime when these guys started. Could not understand why I had not heard of them and more over had not heard of Mike Patton. Seems a lot was that they went where they were appreciated and adored by most. South America.

[@Fireinthehole]

Billy Gould & Roddy Bottum rock this whole album like gangsters. Puffy too. My favorite album & my favorite tee shirt. I love the looks I get when I wear it. Geebz you should do Jizzlobber, maybe one of the heaviest things ever created. 🔥

[@NARISHMA42]

Super stoked to see you digging your teeth into FNM, these guys were about a decade and a half ahead of their time.

[@justindusza9047]

"The Last To Know" and "Just A Man".

[@skoottar]

Faith No More don’t know how to do a bad album. Brilliant band with every album different. Grew up with them as a teen & were huge in my early music influences. Still love them today.

[@markflower8885]

FNM are such a clever band. They're all really accomplished musicians, topped off by the most versatile singer/songwriter around today.. Great video and reaction. 👍

Wooo finally Angel Dust. Only one of the best albums ever made!

[@nicktreleaven4119]

Jizzlobber is probably the heaviest thing they've done and the ending is masterful. Although I really want to see the reaction to Malpractice

Fun fact I learned the other day. Mike Patton did the darkwalkers' "monster voices" in the movie "I am Legend."

[@bpowick]

I'd love to see a reaction to Faith No More's 'The Real Thing' from the album of the same name. That song is an 8 minute masterpiece with so many twist, turns and tonal shifts. I reckon our man Geebz will love it! :-)

[@billabong3549]

There are some bonkers live performances out there of this one. Like most FNM songs you don’t necessarily get a feel for how freaking heavy, tight and powerful they are until you see them play live. The sheer adrenaline factor is a bit removed from their recordings. Still, great song, great album.

[@ronparsons8786]

Holy crap you're not kidding brother. Based on your comment I went and looked some up. The band is beyond tight on this song even with all of its tempo shifts and going from loud to quiet in a second and vice versa. And Mike Patton is just ... Well he's doing usual Mike Patton-y things. And that's the story on how I ended up with a great new "Faith No More Live" KZbin playlist👍

Great song, still holds up today. Always felt something was off in the intro rhythm (in a good poly rhythmic'ish way... sorta). Now that you mentioned the drums in 6/8 that emphasizes the four (ONE, two, three, FOUR, five, six). and the guitars in 3/4 everything makes sense now. Coolness Geebz!

As I have said before I'm disabled and unable to do the pay to play thing. I'm on a fixed income. I was so happy to see you to be the first person to really react to Dog Fashion Disco. It was awesome to see my favorite reactor react to my favorite band. A member of the actual band put your rection up on his FB channel. That was a song from the early 2000's. I would love to see you react to the new single just released a couple of weeks ago from their new upcoming album release. I'd love to see you react to the genre blending in this new single and I think the band would love it as well. You are highly respected in the reaction community.
