FAITH NO MORE - CAFFEINE LIVE

Classic live version of Caffeine by FNM

[@petefader]

I WAS THERE THAT DAY!!! The show was called "Hangin With MTV" shot in NYC. You know that "noise" they play at the end?...When the host Allison Stuart tried to go to commercial they started with the niose again...every time she tried to talk they would play as lound as they could...this happened like 5 times in a row!!! Classic!!

[@JasonPetersKongFooey]

Awesome! Yeah they were so obnoxious it was glorious!

[@male1456]

ha awesome :-)

[@sickbastard82]

damn

[@anthonygomez9634]

Damn

[@OswaldBatesIIIEsq]

That is cool that you were there.

[@EdMcStinko]

one of my favorite vocalists. Sounds like an opera singer one minute then a raging demon the next.

[@Laurabp4]

The most undervalued band ever... The best band i've ever seen on stage with the best male voice in rock, it's my opinion ....

[@andyfaithnomoreguitarist5444]

Yes,I don't know why they are so underrated!!!

[@tenti1524]

Laura PennyWise faith no more fans dont undervalue

[@sydIRISH]

Laura PennyWise I agree, and I'd also put Melvins on that list. Although "undervalued" may not be the right term. FNM and Melvins are two of the most versatile bands ever. Most "influential" may be a better term.

[@joeyd.589]

Their not undervalued?? Angel Dust was voted most influential album. -OF ALL TIME!!!

[@pearlas6943]

Joey D. And yet they still deserve so much more

[@troybarker2433]

I still listen to all of my FNM albums.I'm 47 now.When angel dust came out I knew it would too much for some people today. WE all recognize a masterpiece though...

[@nelliesilvers1210]

I'm 42 and still crank my FNM CDs in the car. Epic and Falling To Pieces made me a massive fan at age 11 (plus I had a crush on Patton back then). When the girlies were falling for Vanilla Ice etc, I was crankin' my guitar along to FNM, Nirvana, Tool, Gunners etc. My main favourite lead of all time is definitely Layne Staley by far but Patton's a legend🤘🏻

[@CraigMahaney]

​@nelliesilvers1210 very cool. My brother met Layne. My brother was doing security at a show. Alice opened for Van halen.

[@tostare]

What a band. Love how Mike Patton can seamlessly switch between opera and demented screaming. It's a real shame that Big Jim and the rest of the band didn't get on, as they were at their best when he was there.

[@dxfifa]

Trey Spruance was a better guitarist than Jim

[@tostare]

@@dxfifa I think Trey was more versatile, and maybe technically better (certainly had a better formal knowledge of music I think - I love Mr Bungle btw, California's one of my top 5 albums of the 90s) but for me he lacked Jim's pizazz (never did know how to spell that word).

[@h_exterm2779]

@@dxfifa Jim had such a cool juicy guitar tone though. Super recognizable. But that being said I really do love king for a day. Though my favorite FNM songs are the ones Jim had a lot of involvement with (suprise you're dead, jizzlobber, etc)

[@mrbungle931]

i think the beef was mostly with Billy

[@Spydababe]

Agreed to a point. Still great!🌹♥️

[@gus26_77]

Patton is just the best vocalist of all time, by long far!

[@keitakane5726]

I'm 35 now and never get tied of angel dust. Banging out since age eleven. Still sounds like it can smash windows

[@clabbeman5329]

I'm 51 and the same here

[@jneiner]

This is also my life story.

[@eduquindos]

Same here...

[@Rodrigo79799]

I'm 39, and feel the same

[@EricKretzmer]

Im 55 and I feel the same way!! The only band from the 90s I havent outgrown!!

[@xr4ti548]

Angel Dust was so far ahead of its time that many people the in states just didn't get it. Look at this performance, so visionary that most of the crowd didn't know how to react to it.

[@theodoredavidmooney5703]

Gleep Wurp This was a Viacom production, so it was a crowd of MTV vetted people. Apparently they agreed to play the 1st single "Midlife Crisis" but instead did the Fantomas style blasts of chaos and screaming and played "Caffeine" defiantly. This dismissal of the network's demand tagged the group with a "blackballed" status which was brilliant since the channel demonstrated that it wasn't loyal to anything.

[@Guitarsthatkill]

Check the link to the special I posted above. Shows that they played Midlife Crisis, Small Victory and Caffiene. The one they bailed on was possibly Epic or some other expected hit. The was one of the most muscically impacttful, charged, psyche modifying performances of anything on TV. Period haha The moment something real broke through.

[@Cash2112]

Gleep Wurp Cocaine’s a helluva drug.

[@jorgeamezcua7270]

Released almost 30 years ago, I'd say still today ahead of its time.

[@frankfly1368]

BIG FACTS. Patton is an animal

[@TeenageWind]

Mike Bordin = most underrated drummer ever

[@dante666jt]

Of a criminally underrated band

[@MrPeggox]

In a way... However, having played with ozzy makes more justice to him and his play

[@edybocman76]

he is solid af

[@CraigStephens777]

True That. Might have to jam that beat. That dude loved flams!

[@marcelorockstore62]

Terrific Drummer, one Of The Best Of Heavy Music

[@Farrahtinsley218]

Angel Dust is definitely one of the best albums of all time...

[@Itsyrm8]

Totally

[@wilfriedhintergraber7909]

Fucking yesssss! Und so ihrer Zeit voraus! Masterpiece!

[@BabylonCentral]

Yep.

[@Jay_R_S]

I concur

[@MikeMcGilvry]

One of my all time favorite albums

[@mastrobanieux7384]

Cannot say how much i love Mike Bordin's drumming. He is definitely one of a kind.

[@genielove9067]

Definitely a legend. Saw him walking around San Francisco like 20’yrars ago.

[@GrizzlTooth]

These types of songs from Angel Dust are such a departure from The Real Thing. It speaks highly that this band was able to grow and improve so much.

[@justdev8965]

It was also able to tell us Patton was faking his voice throughout the entire first album

[@CarlPughGuitars]

one of the best rock drummers and bassist ever

[@luizeduardo-ti9ow]

100% Correct

[@SpacemanZeroJ]

There's no words for how fucking good this is..

[@joshuafult84]

I love how when Patton wore those boots in 92 he used to do that stomping kind of prawler shit on stage hahaha

[@kevinparker3523]

Ladies and Gentlemen Billy Gould on Bass! You just don't get this level of barely controlled aggression with modern rock music.This f&*cking kills.

[@Motormouthmachine]

Yup, has been one of my biggest influences

[@worldalvin]

My favorite song of all time

[@carlos-theshedstudio4739]

this

[@seanspade]

Oh my. This is the best 4:43 ever captured on video. Simply amazing. Angel Dust is probably one of the greatest albums ever recorded.

[@saulbennett4677]

best thing ever seen on MTV.

[@Gilgamex]

I love how much more powerful the drums sound on this live recording

[@MrOutshine1]

One of the best live versions of Caffeine. Like Jim's use of effects at 1:02, 2:08, 2:55, and 3:58.

[@JG-ts2ud]

They are so fucking tight, in-the-pocket live... You paid for a great performance every time.

[@termikes174]

Hard to understand how people can dislike this.

[@roberttullos9334]

You do the math, thats a little bit under 1%

[@Anubisher]

Deaf people

[@ManWhoH]

Couldn't agree more, Patton's voice has matured which brings a new twist to the songs. Saw them in Paris, amazing performance.

[@ThineOwnDesigns]

Crazy good album, and one of the best live videos ive seen, can't believe the crowd isn't going crazy, its FAITH NO MORE!!!

[@Guitarsthatkill]

You will have to excuse them: Their minds were being melted.

[@danboniface914]

Most underrated band and album of all time.

[@juliebender6108]

After delivering the most awesome vocal range to these concert goers with such passion, I love how he ends it with ‘thanks kids’! Brilliant

[@TomNicholson77]

The album that revolutionised alternative music.

[@kradomc]

Mike Bordin is an incredible drummer!!!!!

[@justdev8965]

Yes! It's not easy maintaining aggression without having jumps in loudness. Gotta love him! People don't know how much focus and practice it takes to be that good.

[@kristiannickson2857]

Seen a lot of big name bands and these guys are certainly in the top few

[@bullshnighdt]

patton is a walking voice and sound machine and with FNM its just magic

[@gnollins]

Simply one of the THE classic rock performances. Mike Patton is king! "Thanks, kids" :-D

[@CesareDeConti]

The best metal album of the history!!! This is the best song!

[@naneanilau]

what a performance...so powerful...FNM just kicks ass...and Mike,,,no words, amazing voice, you blow my mind

[@nady22]

the style they're playing here becomes popular...8 years later

[@mykelengieza7057]

2024 and I'm still listening to this album when I walked the dog...literally did that 15 hours ago

[@CH3FFI3]

So pleased I got to live through the most compelling generation of music of foretelling.

[@URallangry]

Let's not forget that Patton got away with saying, "I'm fucking you" on MTV.

[@jamesmitchell8028]

I love this song , it's got so much a emotional vibes, words can't explain .wish l could see them live.

[@MikePattonFan24]

Faith no more is heavier than any other band I know. Heavier than death metal, and all the metal core stuff!!!

[@gasmaskboi19371945]

What about Portal?

[@MikePattonFan24]

They may play faster and more technical but I just dont feel the same intense aggressive energy.

[@gasmaskboi19371945]

Tom Sawyer They scare me D:

[@luke7517]

Portal is like listening to a nightmare.

[@Peetshow82]

yes. havier! and funnier at the same time. that's why we like them! ;)

[@shadow_croon]

The best undervalued band. When they were in Chile, Mike and his henchmen hallucinated with the energy and delivery of the fans. From that moment there is a communion with FNM ... we exalt them !!! ... they are our partners in the fight against oppression and one of our models to follow !!!! despite its ups and downs !!!! jejeje

[@williamgonzalez6239]

Patton is the king of vocals

[@terristewart8189]

Why doesn't this video have 150 million views!! This is as real as you get!!!!!! MIKE PATTON is the BEST singer!!! It's been proven!!!!!!

[@mccullough3000]

the breakdown in the middle of this song always gives me goosebumps. amazing fucking song.

[@fredericfca6611]

That was the perfect song that saved me after we broke with my GF in 1993. Still love it !

[@Pame5785]

Voz 💯%% Titánica!!!!

[@evhwolfgang2003]

Screams "I'M FUCKING YOU" on live TV

[@case015]

Wow, what a fucking incredible performance! Patton’s vocals were spot on here

[@iiswansongii]

I have this on a vhs tape I recorded a long time ago. I adore this song, and this is one of the most energetic performances that just blew me away. Mike Patton's voice is amazing. Thank you for posting!

[@chrisoliver3642]

If you've ever played Left 4 Dead, the vocals at the end will sound familiar.

[@cynthiajones7514]

And The Darkness as well as Bionic Commando.

[@Laurabp4]

One of the most amazing voice in rock..... He's a real showman.

[@eleanordavidson8008]

Pour shame all over us harden into a crust (cement) Forget the glamour and mumble a jackhammer (under your breath) Hide your face in the curtains Better unsaid, so close And it rolls off the tongue, almost The world expects the pose, perfectly natural (loosen up) Smearing wet concrete and swearing you'll never be (caught) At your weakest, etched in stone And we're frozen here, peeking Almost, sweet talk, caffeine Make contact Up to my neck I confess in quicksand But it's so easy for you There's always one thing Do you have something to tell me? Say something Anything I'm warning you I'm warning you I'm fucking you I'm warning you Relax, it's just a phase You'll grow out of it Believe anything anyone ever tells you It's not funny any more It's thing you hate the most Nothing you hate the most Nothing you hate almost

[@GrizzlTooth]

Holy fuck this song and performance knocks my socks off! New favorite FNM live performance right here.

[@CarlPughGuitars]

me too man, i was like 10 when these guys were around but i love them, i was a straight hip hop and r & b guy, when i started opening my ears, i fell in love with this band, i just love the way the bassist beats the hell out of his bass, and he's a badass too, and the guitarist too bad he wanted raise pumpkins lol

[@leeknott2171]

And the day after this performance MTV stopped playing music videos, they knew they could never top it.

[@andreamariawicker223]

My Son grows up with Faith No More , today his Taste of Music is great 😅

[@spacegrass2738]

My favorite band of all time,not even close! So fucking original.They play about every genre you can think of yet it just works.Soft shit one minute heavy as anybody the next.Even better live.Mike Patton is the best front man to ever walk this planet.I could go on all day long.

[@jayala2637]

Best rock vocalist . Mike is amazing

[@MrFlash1969]

Best gig I've ever seen early 90s at Sheffield arena..

[@LuisJacob366]

Nobody understands that this song is so nostalgic, "the thing you hate that most" at the final, I saw FNM live in 1994 with Metallica and guns and roses. FNM steals the show,no doubt even people in the crowd thinking wtf" who they are.? they are totally underrated " I have all albums from them, "honesty, musicality and irreverent power" can be heard.unbiased patton=best singer OT

[@K.J.S.est1994]

I think you mean 1992 not 1994 as Jim Martin was fired by the band and replaced by Trey Spruance/Dean Menta.

[@LuisJacob366]

+Joey Roller nop. They take the angel dust album to new mexico back in 93/94 i saw them. And still remember very well. Patton jumped from big speakers in the crowd!! Nice

[@kiwisegg]

He burnt his hand and arm in Montreal, then GNR made us wait 3 hours to then play for 25 minutes...Axl left the premises and a riot ensued. FNM were the real reason I was there....and Metallica in their prime.

What happened to Mike Patton between The Real Thing and Angel Dust. Like he seemed so goofy when The Real Thing came out, whereas here he seems like a badass. I mean, I love both albums, just seems like he changed in some way, not sure if there is a story behind it.

[@dplascencia9421]

I’m pretty sure he talks about in an old interview where the period between those two albums he stated going to more underground hardcore shows probably explains the vocal style change and wardrobe change too lol

[@stephenhughes5156]

@@dplascencia9421 Ahh nice. That might explain it. I wonder if the whole beef with the RHCP singer and accusations of him copying Mike (or was it other way round?) made him just go 'fuck it, I'll just be someone else' or something. But yeh it just be him going to hardcore shows n shit.
