Long haired Mike Patton was a legend with a higher pitch and nasally voice. Short haired Mike Patton was a legend with a lower bass and growl. Both were completely different people both vocally and aesthetically as well as total body language and style. He really changed everything about himself when he cut his hair. And i love both versions

[@Hamlet2085]

Rap and nu metal cannot be understood without Faith no more. They were the basis of the model that saved rock in the 90's

[@trenken]

Chili peppers were doing it before them. That was the whole thing with these 2 bands back then and the rivalry between them. People were calling FNM a ripoff of them and maybe they were in some ways but they were definitely more of a hard rock band than the chili peppers were. Metal at times and chili peppers never were that heavy. So they definitely were different.

[@Hamlet2085]

@@trenken RHCP started as a fusion between funk and rap, nothing new, other bands did it before, they simply gave it their style and then in the 90's they noticed that the FNM formula worked and that many bands began to be influenced by them. What I mean is that FNM was more influential in the growth of music in the 90's. Especially in the second half. What I say is a verifiable reality and also my comment is very clear about what genre was born based on what FNM did. Hard and glam rock barely touched the 90's, and we all know what happened to Guns And Roses, on the other hand bands like Pantera, Metallica, Megadeth, etc... became old-fashioned for many young people before starting the second half of the 90's. Not to mention how the grounge crashed as well before the second half of the 90's. The most direct influence on the way bands that emerged in the second half of the 90's played instruments and even sang was FNM. I give an example: The greatest influence of the members of Korn (said by them) has been FMN. Jonathan Davis and various singers have taken up the nasal way of singing that Mike Patton used on The Real Thing and Angel Dust albums. FNM was the bridge between rap metal and nu metal and without that musical style, metal would have had a very difficult time in the 90's and early 2000's. Everything generated later is a direct consequence of what FNM started. Another thing, the cool style of 90's rock and metal we owe to the master Rick Rubin who indirectly worked with FNM on The Real Thing thanks to his friendship with FNM guitarist Jim Martin. Years later he produced albums with RHCP...

I hadn't quite got into music yet or found my groove at that age, especially growing up in rural Bad Axe, Michigan. Anyways, when it cam3 time for me to leave , I had to accompany the High School French class . Everyone at least 4 to 5 yrs older than me n I was only one going w them. No seniors were gonna Wana chat up or hang out with the tag along shy 7th grader. The bus ride was supposed to be 13 to 14 hrs to Quebec.....I had a couple books n my clothes. No music, no friends, never having left my small rural country town, i almost didnt go. My older sister surprised me the night b4 I left with a brand new walkman and about 14-15 cassette tapes from her boyfriends car. Never heard of FNM or most the other bands, but it was the 1st tape I put in as the greyhound bus pulled Away from Bad Axe Hjgh Parking lot at 3am. The next 7 days I spent in Old Quebec City overlooking the St. Lawrence Seaway like it was a dream world (our hotel was an ancient castle that had been restored) Everything was like something out of a fictional tale. I never even looked at those other cassettes in my bitchin fanny pack. Faith No More the real thing, Was the only tape or muwe're music I listen to That whole week. After A-day and a 1/2 and you every song by heart. I was fucking hooked. That cassette tape/Albun launched what became the start of a massive addiction to all things Rock, punk, metal, etc. I am 45 now and still a hard-core headbanging bitch. Faith No More my fav band and so are all Mike's side projects/gigs/bands. Graduation day in 1995 , walking off stage with my diploma, and throwin up devil horns, I yelled 'I'm gonna make Mike Patton my bitch" (my family was mortified 🤣🤘 I often wonder what my life would be , or music id discover, had my sis never got me that walkman and her bfs tapes for that 1989 Quebec trip.

Secondly, what an amazing older sister! I’m an older brother and tried to do the same for my brother who is six years younger. Today he’s a professional musician and I couldn’t be prouder. Lastly, FNM are one of the coolest bands of all time. I get kind of annoyed with all the Nu Metal comparisons and stuff.

You couldnt even hear their bass drum. You hear, and feel, Faith's drums. And his beats were new, unique. This one totally stands the test of time. Play it through a great system, and you will start moshing around, and breaking your stuff.

One of my favorite music videos (and songs) of all time! So wacky and surreal and Patton had awesome hair. It was him who made me want to have long hair. Nearly 15 years later, I did. I also love to sing this song. Several years ago I did it at a Karaoke bar.

"Woodpecker From Mars" is one of my personal favorites. I still have my worn down cassette of this album.

[@colts0627]

I listen to this 10 times a day at least . Mike Patton is a lyrical genius . I am extremely depressed but I'm going out my way and of my own devising , he gives me hope to keep myself alive long enough to make sure I'm not going alone .

[@LateNiteRamen]

Dude, this makes it sound like you're going to murder-suicide, are you okay?

[@rynes.rai7er993]

Hang in there fella!! Listening to sermons by Dr. Tony Evans brought me back from the brink. The message he points to has made things better for me personally, and by proxy, the people I come in contact with. Reading his book "Kingdom Man" helped put things in perspective: be a blessing to the people in your lives by your conduct. Peace to you.

[@rynes.rai7er993]

As a side note, Coach Tony Dungy and Pastor Evans are personal friends, and Coach Dungy wrote an endorsement of Pastor Evans' book 'Kingdom Man'. Hope things are looking up for you.

MOST UNIQUE BAND EVER!!!!!

[@migueltoledo4404]

3:23 nothing's more badass than Roddy Bottum playing one of the most epic keyboard riffs of all time, then stepping back from the keyboard, hands in the air, because his career could have ended right there and he'd already be immortal.

It’s amazing how great music never dies...first time I heard this song loved it. Listened for a good year...then I forgot about it. Second time was in the movie Black Hawk Down I was like YES! Then forgot about it again for a very long time....Then I found it here on KZbin.....some songs you forget about and then every 10 years you get reminded of it and it’s like hearing it for the first time all over again!

Black Hawk Down

[@bigneiltoo]

If you were there in summer 1990 when this album hit the mainstream you remember the heaviest music of all time.

[@grabasandwich]

I was only 10 when this came out, so I was probably too young for music to really influence me, but my older brother was 15 and he played the hell out of this album. He eventually moved onto other music, but I've always been someone who gets into music after its popularity has faded. I remember when Apocalyptica covered From Out Of Nowhere. I was mindblown at how good it was. I don't know where I'm going with this...Man I feel old.

[@houseofradmusicsheltieloun8206]

The music videos for Falling to Pieces and Epic are so iconic, with those colorful, random images and scenarios. Also, nothing compares to young Mike Patton, long-haired, jumping around and doing faces.

[@kingkrysen]

I agree fully I'm sorry this album and era of Faith No More is the one I love out of all. Angel Dust was good as well but too mature for me imo when I think of Faith No More I think of their funkier, and goofier days during (1989-1991) when they were younger also I agree young Mike Patton is a lot more energetic, crazy, and fun than older more boring Mike Patton

[@Maya-hk9tz]

"Falling To Pieces" Back and forth, I sway with the wind Resolution slips away again Right through my fingers, back into my heart Where it's out of reach and it's in the dark Sometimes I think I'm blind Or I may be just paralyzed Because the plot thickens every day And the pieces of my puzzle keep crumblin' away But I know, there's a picture beneath Indecision clouds my vision No one listens... Because I'm somewhere in between My love and my agony You see, I'm somewhere in between My life is falling to pieces Somebody put me together Layin' face down on the ground My fingers in my ears to block the sound My eyes shut tight to avoid the sight Anticipating the end, losing the will to fight Droplets of "yes" and "no" In an ocean of "maybe" From the bottom, it looks like a steep incline From the top, another downhill slope of mine But I know, the equilibrium's there Indecision clouds my vision No one listens Because I'm somewhere in between My love and my agony You see, I'm somewhere in between My life is falling to pieces Somebody put me together
