I have just watched an interview of Mike Patton talking about food for almost an entire hour and it's one of the greatest interviews I've ever seen.

[@carolinebarrett4736]

I was just about to comment the exact same thing!

[@The_Knight_Mayor]

Patton needs to stop apologizing for his iconic music and accept his crown as King Legend.

[@NotDaveGahan]

I should have known Patton loved food ever since THAT sandwich interview.

[@micaelasandoval5193]

« I’m not fat.. i’m getting there » 😂 His little aw man was so cute too!

I never thought I'd be perfectly entertained listening to Mike Patton talk about food for an hour.

[@cosmiccoffee6179]

kicking my feet and giggling at the quart containers of food. “check this out” 😆 absolutely love this, being a chef i got a real kick out of this.

[@Aliens_And_Pyramids_And_Shit]

I appreciate his love of authentic Mexican food 🥘 🙂

[@gracem6612]

Mike would be my perfect date. ❤

[@nofvce999]

Man, I had an idea to interview Patton about food like 11 years ago. Super cool someone finally did it.

[@mattnuttall2832]

I've experienced Patton's passion for food before performing. Many years ago before a Peeping Tom gig in Liverpool, UK. We were walking close to the venue a couple of hours before showtime. Patton walks up. We got talking. And he asked where any quality restaurants were. So we sent him to an authentic Spanish family run tapas place. Brilliant place. I just hope he found it. Oh, and he turned up on time to play the gig.

[@MarianaMeirellesCookiefy]

The first time Faith no More came to Brazil I was 12. I wanted so much to go to the show but I was too young for that. I love FNM, and for me MIke is a Mith. I became a wife, a mom and professional and life made me forguet of those things. But my teaneger daughter made me remember and I came to search what Mike is doing nowadays. The best thing I could do, I am very glad to see he is better then ever.

[@AM-rl6mq]

Andrew to Mike: "What was the best microphone you ever ate?" :p

[@Bablobiggins]

this is one of the best conversations I've ever seen

[@bonniebloodworth]

Totally.

[@hippydippy]

Truly showed their passion for food. Loved it.

[@thenailtechfiles7935]

4:55 awwwww he seems so straight-edge…almost like he was all along. His reaction to groupies!!!❤️

[@NotDaveGahan]

This is one of the reasons why I cannot help but to adore Patton. Unlike a good portion of rock men, he didn’t abuse his fame and power to get his way. He just fucking loves music.

[@AlexanderStemkowski]

MP has had this thing about groupies since Day 1. But then again, he's being kicked out of the kitchen by his own wife. It's all...complicated.

[@marcibelle4462]

This was so educational. Amazing to listen to these metal dudes have a beautiful cultured conversation. The more you travel, the more interesting you become. Step outside of your world.

[@AlexanderStemkowski]

I find that even the early MP's interviews (like the legendary one with Spin) were quite interesting even before all that travelling.

[@TimmyGMusic]

This is absolutely my favorite Patton interview.

[@kimberlylynjamison8762]

I just love him

[@tmm4461]

This was great! Nice seeing Patton talking about what he loves, food, mixed with music.

[@ddaasscft]

"Get out of the fucking kitchen, go sit down, I'll fucking feed you, fuck you" - Mike Patton's wife

[@cin7805]

La tana lo tenía cagando a Patton 😂

[@bonniebloodworth]

I could listen to Mike forever, bless him being kicked out of the kitchen though hahaha imagine kicking Mike out of any where lol This is a great conversation. Thanks for sharing.

[@Bablobiggins]

imagine going to eat with Mike to one of the great restaurants like St. John's and seeing him go gaga over offals or something.

[@bonniebloodworth]

@@Bablobiggins Haha Definitely! Nowadays I feel my tag line for Mike - "I'm so sorry you can't take him any where" is less likely needed... not 100% just less. He'd be a massive delight going crazy over his food. The yrs of imagining him in various 'normal' scenarios but not reaching any 'normal' outcome actually now might just be possible and soo fun...but that part was never in question regardless :)

[@ernestinegrace4593]

Hearing Mike say Goodness Gracious lol

[@roseluvsunydaez1111]

I'm so intrigued by that man 🔥🔥🔥

[@mauranoonan8951]

I enjoyed this conversation. I would have liked to see Mike Patton and Anthony Bourdain have a meal and a convo too. Food and music.

[@maddiebricout3521]

That would blow my mind

[@anthonygarcia3543]

Too bad Anthony died:(

[@HarlequeenStudio]

Mike should have his on show on Kitchen TV. Scouting restaurants, revisiting his favorite places and meals, or cooking his favorite meals. But that would maybe be hard to do because he wouldn't want to spend his time away from music.

[@RodwayRod]

Love this video we need a part 2 now 👍👍👍👍

[@jennyk9748]

Really enjoyed this. I've watched a thousand interviews about his eccentric musical interests and range, it's cool to hear something different about my favorite musician.

Mr Bungle on a hot busy shift in the kitchen kept my friend and me's head on sideways long enough for it to not fall off.... Thank's Mike for the chaos which put our heads in to order! Great conversation. I'm really hungry now...

[@daniellecarpenter4467]

I visit and refer back to this video/conversation from time to time, my compliments on making this more than entertaining, but also valuable. More than once have I referred to or shared this conversation with a musician or artist (and others... ) I associate and/or partner with. And I always will have it on my list as a resource or example. I like to be able to have such a thing, no matter how invisible the value of simple conversation is in something, I save it. And it always comes in handy one day. Some are straight off valuable and those become permanent resource list fixtures. This is one of those things that from day one, shared its value. Thank you for what you do. Everyone involved, too. Money clothes the body of a not for profit. But things like this are the soul, the teachers and the uniting elements. Money cannot buy that. And an idea must persist and burn, in a slightly tortuous way... If it isn't covered and dies, its tragic. It is one less musician saved from stress induced death, One less music industry person with integrity because without knowledge, that one is just a business person, unaware of the imbalance. And so on. That said, I appreciated this and many will throughout time. 😍🤮

[@simonh9987]

Watched this so many times.

[@JaclynKuinsynss]

❤❤ te amo Mike Patton

[@sylvie9478]

This was such an entertaining conversation! I mean, it was mainly focused on food, but I'm Italian so I was really happy about the topic :,) I think it would be entertaining to see Mike cooking italian stuff XD By the way, that cold pasta that was mentioning Mike we would call it "pasta fredda", but the recipe is not traditional because the worchester sauce is an ingredient that I've never seen in Italian recipes, it sounded tasty though, I would happily try it, honestly!

Mike will never read this, but, just in case.. I'm in Australia. I would happily be personal chef when you tour Australia, hopefully next year! FOR FREE!! Also agree on the Slayer thing. I saw them when I was 16. Can't actually believe I was allowed to go! Everyone should have 'attend Slayer concert' on the bucket list! Peace!

I personally see Kanye West as the Quentin Tarantino of music

[@MattySOP]

@@knell-zh7do I agree! I worded it funny. I meant more how quentin is when speaking about movies, not actually the movies he produces. Kanye definitely is more like QT in that regard..Patton to me is like QT when it comes to the knowledge and wisdom of music

@@knell-zh7do God, no.

[@jsogman]

Hhhmmm id maybe say Kubrick or Richard Linklater becuase they made so many movies totally different in style. But on the other hand hell yes becuase alot of Mike's music explores and deals with violence and he does everything with STYLE

@@jsogman I see what you’re saying! I was actually speaking more to the way QT talks about movies and he has such a knowledge of movies..the same way MP is with music.

[@whitewizzardllc2348]

Great watch. It is making me miss London haha. There is Korean spot- a downstairs fancy restaurant near one of the tube stops near central that I always love.....cannot remember the name. I really love the Fullers Pubs in Chiswick like the Old Packhorse etc. Nothing like Cask ale. So true the correlation between music and food. Same for me on the road I live for those solo adventures finding those magic spots. ....I will take a magic food discovery over a groupie or getting wasted any day of the week......age and wisdom ha ha ...It is funny I am from Norcal as well and one day in my home town of Santa Rosa I ran into Trey from Bungle at Taqueria Santa Rosa and we ate mex food and talked for like 2 hours. He is super cool as well. Mr B shows in the early 90s were good times \m/

FNM’s tour manager is Timothy Moss. Clarke does look like him indeed!

[@gerardchampagne]

I’d like more of this please haha. A fantastic conversation.

[@NotDaveGahan]

About the similarities between music and eating: they’re both ultimately sensuous activities aside from artistic. While watching the documentary on Anthony Bourdain, I pointed out how being a chef was like being a musician, you work towards achieving pleasure, for someone else’s and why not, for oneself. Doing something to hopefully pleasure others. Bourdain was like a rockstar, so associations came easily. As someone who hasn’t really fostered any artistic skill, I always wonder how great it would be to make a living through such rightfully glorified indulgence.
