The Angel Dust Album was like growing up together with the band. After an album on which literally every song was a hit, Angel Dust was complex, tricky, sophisticated, with a wide range of topics and emotions. It is my favorite until today.

[@RelaxAntti]

Are you me? To me it's still the album that has had the most impact on me. I fell in love with it when I was about 9 years old, over 30 years ago.

[@adamhenige9030]

It's really timeless. The whole album has always read to me like a series of unresolved trips to a therapist.

[@TheDms42]

Same. AD came out when I was 14. Until this album, 90% of what I listened to was Zeppelin and Floyd. This album cracked my head open one song at a time. After AD my mind was primed and ready for 90s alt rock.

[@b.l.fisher8230]

[@michaelcorcoran8768]

That album was also much less heavily reliant on guitar, which is probably one of several reasons why Jim Martin and the rest of the band had a falling out. I absolutely love angel dust but some parts of me missed Jim martens guitar work from the real thing. They did bring more guitar back for King for a day

Billy Gould has always been FNM's bassist. He's a monster. They were called "Funk Metal" for awhile, largely because he plays such funky bass lines.

Faith No More are one of the few bands where every album sounds different from the previous yet not a bad album is found amongst them. Few bands can do that or get away with it without alienating their fan base. Brilliant.

[@shenanitims4006]

I don’t know, I was a lifelong fan but “Album of the Year” never caught my interest. My biggest criticism of it was Mike seemingly phoning in the vocals. Followed up years later with the reunion record that had me hyped after hearing (I believe) Billy Gould on “Motherfucker.” Only to end up hearing Mike Patton singing about his Lucky Charms breakfast later. And I’d argue part of what made them so fascinating for us to follow was their penchant for alienating (or trying to alienate) their fans. Score a best-seller (Real Thing)? Follow it up with a quite popular cover song? Then jettison all those casual, Buzz Bin, fans with a metal masterpiece with songs about oral sex and jizzlobbing. Bye-bye MTV! Finally settling into a core fan base of diehards.

Everybody raves about Angel Dust, and rightly so, but I feel like King for a Day... Fool for a Lifetime doesn't get the love it deserves. It's such a wild ride of an album.

[@williamclose6978]

The unsung hero of Faith No More to me is Roddy Bottum (Keyboard/synth). When keys were going out of style for most Rock bands, Roddy made it a namesake for FNM. All of the strings you mentioned, the cool pads that opened up the compositions, and the piano work were him. Mike Patton is a hero to vocalists and Billy Gould and Mike Bordin lay killer grooves on base and drums, but Roddy is what made the band one of a kind for me. Your channel is the favorite part of my commute each day, so thanks and keep it up!

[@komoleeray687]

totally agree. Only just read your comment . I posted a comment to that effect but you explain his influence much better. Bottum made their sound so distinctive for me.

[@Easyasinstallations]

Roddy os a legend. You are definitely correct regarding him being an unsung. To me they are all equal parts. Mike just does more (other bands). Even the short Roddy did (Nestle) kicked ass.

[@AndyGraceMedia]

YES! Roddy's utterly brilliant. The entire band is phenomenal in so many ways. All of them are musos' musicians and I greatly admire them - will go down in history as one of the all time greats.

[@adamw13]

I love them all, they all bring something huge to the table, including Jim Martin. But Roddy definitely added a texture and a sound and an approach that made FNM sound so unique. One reason I don't like KFAD as much, because he's not on it as much because he was going thru personal issues.

[@jakeaaron]

To me FNM was always Roddy’s band. Even with his more limited work on King for a day

[@LordDarthSmyth]

[@chikaBurton]

I don't know how many times I've played "Evidence" on bass with a band, all I can say is it was pure enjoyment each and every time. That song taught me to pull back a little and really start exploring the sound of my bass, to play with tone control, pickup volumes and position of my plucking... the sweet spot was just at the end of the neck for that particular sound

[@mosesthemouse]

I have no idea how Woodpeckers still gives me chicken skin after 33 years. Seeing them on SNL when I was 13 or 14 really had an impact.

King for a Day came out when I was 14 years old. This album alone changed my complete taste in music. Seeing 'Digging the grave' on MTV got me hooked completely. I can honestly say that this album, King for a Day, changed my life, in terms of music! Greetings from tiny Belgium.

[@brandon_png9743]

A lot of people say Angel Dust is their best album, and rightfully so but I think King for a Day was just as good, especially the deluxe version of that album

[@komoleeray687]

I absolutely share your enthusiasm for "Evidence" . One of my favourite tracks of theirs and true Faith No More fans know that what made them special was they could switch on the heaviness and dissonance as well as any metal band, but their great quality was their grasp of composition and melody ( In my opinion , Keyboardist Roddy Bottum is a key member of the band in that regard. His keyboard compositions add so much drama , texture and melody to their songs which made their sound so distinctive ). And i agree, Billy Gould is just a beast of a bass player . One of the very best. And Patton..well nothing more to be said..I absolutely love your channel by the way. I'm new to it , have just subscribed. You bring such knowledge and musical experience to your reactions and you give every song a chance even if it's out of your wheelhouse so to speak. Keep up the great work !!!

[@heresyisprogress]

Bill and Roddy are great collaborators, and I think Bill doesn't get enough credit in that partnership for his writing melodies with and for Roddy. He wrote a lot of the most memorable melodies in their embryonic form, and Roddy came behind him and fleshed it out. For example, Bill wrote the chord chart and basic melody for the piano on "Epic", then Roddy ran with it and put the pretty stuff on it.

[@anotherdeadweirdo382]

Current OG FNM members include Billy Gould (bass) Roddy Boddum (a genius on keys) and Mike Bordin (drums). They went through a bunch of singers (incl Courtney Love) before landing on Chuck Moseley (RIP) who lasted 2 records before being kicked out during the recording of The Real Thing. So that’s an extra layer to Patton’s ability is at like 19/20 years old he came into a fully recorded session and wrote around it. Kinda wish you had done a Chuck track. He was no Patton but it was a very unique vibe that I think you’d dig. Their guitar player for this period (Jim Martin) had joined before their first record but was fired for many of the same reasons as Chuck (alcohol, unreliable) on the Angel Dust tour. You can tell he comes from a thrash background and in fact hiring Patton was his idea as he hoped it would give him another pro-thrash vote in the song writing process as Mr Bungle’s demos from this time were much closer to that than what they became. On King for a Day Mr Bungle’s guitar player stepped in but afterward they settled on Jon Hudson who I believe they got from Sparks (another slow burn candidate if ever there was one). As far as production Matt Wallace and FNM sort of came up together in a way. He produced their first big demo, and iirc every record until King For A Day. It’s particularly extraordinary imho that they managed to sort of forge a sound together that lasted nearly a decade and then deconstruct that sound and start over on Angel Dust. And to make it sound so easy. It is worth noting though that the versions you’re hearing from The Real Thing, Angel Dust, and King for a Day have been remastered without input from the band or Wallace. I think they’ve mostly retained their respective vibes but there are bits here and there that seem... off compared to the originals. And yes they are largely credited with being the first to fashion funk rock into something more akin to rap rock aka nü-metal. Most of the first wave of nü-metal artists would name check them and/or Mr Bungle as a major influence. They (esp Patton) largely rejected comparisons at the time but they have recently toured with Korn so one must assume they’re over it by now.

[@cjonesufc]

You could pick any 10 tracks off Angel Dust or King For A Day and get a huge range in style. Always well crafted. Faith No More is, in my opinion, the most versatile and underrated band ever.

[@16ozClawHammer]

Great stuff. My favourite band, though I was a little surprised (not dead) at the choices. Certainly with two from the Real Thing, given in how high regard Angel Dust is held. But yeah...half the appeal with FNM post-Real Thing was the 'fuck you, this is how we're doing it' approach to everything. You could argue that King for a Day was even more of a headfuck release than Angel Dust. It's what all the teenagers wanted from their favourite metal(ish) band in the mid 90s, wasn't it? Lounge soul (Evidence), big band (Star AD), bossa nova (Caralho Voador) and gospel (Just a Man).

Hey man - watching this on my lunch break in Tasmania, Australia!! FNM as such a diverse band. Have been into them since The Real Thing dropped in 1989. Simply cannot pigeon hole them. Whilst I won't try to liken them to Queen directly not many other bands can switch genres as successfully and be accepted by their fan base like these guy. I'm a bass player, and Bill Gould from FNM is one of my bass heroes for both playing and tone.

[@albreezy26]

So glad this got sorted out. FNM is one of my favorite bands but then again, I love everything that Mike Patton has ever done. They've been covered here at least once before (from what I can remember lol) but a Dillinger escape plan deep dive should be seriously considered, especially with the Mike Patton EP being so visceral and raw just like most of their discography.

[@cajflod]

I was 17/18 yo when The Real Thing came out, and was so impactful for me and for some of my same generation. In a way they (with Jane’s Addiction) prepare the path for what came just after a couple of years with grunge and all the innovative and refreshing music of the ‘90. At that time was incredible to listen a band mixing metal (thrash metal particularly) rap, funk, and “pop”. No one did that before. But was not just “a bit of that a bit of this”, was so cohesive and unique. Thanks for this reaction I enjoy it quite a bit, and bring me back some good memories😉

[@rebeccasaltz8456]

Friend got me into Mike Patton through Mr. Bungle - "None of Them Knew" - and from there I branched out. I didn't like a lot of Sol Invictus when I first listened to it. Gave it another listen and it's grown on me, especially "Matador". Angel Dust is probably still my fave of FNM, but The Real Thing is a close second. And Bungle, jeez, I couldn't even try to sort that. And Dead Cross, and Tomahawk, and Fantomas. It's a rabbit hole I never hate going down.

When you come back around to them again, check out "The Perfect Crime."

It’s interesting how you said that the bass weaves and dives in and out of the kick. If you’ve ever heard the Bassist, Billy, talk about how the band started he has said that him and Puffy (the drummer) started the band. And the reason they loved playing together is because they played together unlike traditional drummer bassist pairings. That he played outside of Puffy’s kick. And it allowed them to have a very unique groove. He actually said it was the foundation of their entire band and its success. It’s so cool to hear an arranger/composer pick that out of the air like that. With no previous context of that fact

Agreed. Faith No More was a chameleon of the Rock, Metal, Funk , Hip Hop, and Lounge genres.

While not exactly Country music, it definitely says they could go that way if they wanted to. I have never found a more diverse band since.

First got into FNM when Epic hit MTV, though I didn't buy their albums before Angel Dust came out. That got me hooked. However, it was a slow burn too. Didn't enjoy it at first, but after playing it on repeat for a few days I was hooked. Oh, btw; I went to school for 7 years with the guy who designed the Sol Invictus cover, Martin Kvamme. He also was responsible for the cover art for several of Patton's other projects. Just had to do a shout-out. ;)

[@hectorrenesegovia779]

The first album you looked at ("The Real Thing") was Mike's intro into the band, and was an attempt to recreate their older style. It was also (from what I understand) a last ditch effort to make it big. When it worked, they were finally given free reign to explore other styles - which is why Angel Dust sounds so different.

Dude. Great selection for a FNM slow burn. Keep digging into Mikey P. Lots of treasures to be discovered, my man.

[@troyroude6469]

I started this at 4am because I couldn't sleep. Picked it back up at 7am when I woke up. I am now finishing it at 9pm! I feel like I spent the day with you

"I yammer on, the coffee is strong" would make great merch

[@donnakurtz9293]

Austin Texas here. Sitting up waaay too late listening to this great slow burn. I am so glad I found your channel. I have only recently discovered Faith No More and through that Mike Patton here in the ast 3 months. I am mid 60's and can't figure out where in the world I have been.. I had not even heard of them. Discovered on a fluke listneing to something on another "reaction" channel (which I had just discovered as well. Let's just say that you (and a couple of others) have provided me with the very thing I had needed. I had been wandering youtube all through COVID in a search to hear music that I had for whatever reason overlooked in my youth .. and all through the family and work grind for years in between. Not a lot of music. Now I discover this stuff and get so excited but no one around me knows (or cares) what the hell I am all excited about... or they liked it fine ...back when it was popular and not too much interested now. You ... and only 2 or so others .. have given me a place where I feel like I am listening with you and discovering and being validated in my love of the music. Your input and enthusiasm is great. Just to have a person open to hearing new/different musich is life giving to me. Lots of old high school buddies on facebook etc.. everyone is still talking about and shaing the same music we listened to in the 60/70... great music for sure ... but there is so much more. Anyhow.. big thank you for doing what you do. You need to check out some of the live versions .. especially to see what Mike Patton does all himself. He uses a megaphone and a diffrent kind of microphone occassionally but he can make any sound and change voice completely on a dime. there is a great quote from him in an interview where he says he sees the lyrics and even his voice as another insturment. The vocals are not to be the forefront of the music. It has to change to meet the music. The words to lyrics most often are developed to fit what the song needs .. to be a conduit for his voice ... Like great art or poetry nothing is spelled out and if people listen and add their own experiece into it. great .. but he is always asked about meaning to songs. That is no the main thing. Gotta go .. I am excited and great to see you be excited about the same. You may have done it by now.. but look up the music video that goes along with "Evidence" it is just as smooth as you described and you hit the nail on the head. Good evening sir. Look forward to more. Peeping Tom and Tomahawk... for Mike Patton.

[@donnakurtz9293]

I keep saying you should watch this vid for Evidence and I want to go ahead and put it here in case you haven't chased it down. Not too hard to find... but I thought about how one component you haven't added in is Mike Patton himself. In live performances he is just magnetic. His voice is crazy good.. anything. Switch in middle etc. But I started out watching live performances and the first one I saw was with a reactor that is a vocal coach/ opera singer. She was in awe at his range and control. At the end of Midlife Crisis on The Tonight Show that she watched her words were commenting on how he was such a "stage animal" .. in a good way. For the first biggest song of theirs to be "Epic" asking over and over "What is IT?" I dare to say .. that as awesome as the band and all combined ..Mike Patton is "IT" :) You need to see some live stuff. Here is evidence vid. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZ3ZfoGCna-lmJI

[@arongamman9360]

"Everything's Ruined" on _Angel Dust_ always seems for me where Fatih No More got more progressive with its keyboards_Real Thing_ was more atmospheric.

[@RachelRobinson44]

FNM is one of those bands that you just add all their albums to a Playlist and let it run. Woodpecker From Mars and Zombie Eaters are two of my faves.

[@lastborn11]

So I’m sitting here on the couch watching on the tv listening with my headsets on … so much to unload w/ FNM… Song 1: I absolutely hate that strings sound programming on the Yamaha Synthesizer I played in the way back when …love the fretless bass though. Song2: Deep cut, SYD was a song that us wallflowers would request at the local university summer music camp dance …you could tip the dJ to play your songs …it would then be followed by “We Care A Lot” …clear the dance floor then bring them right back. Song 3: Keep in mind “Be Aggressive” was published on this same album. Song4: King4aDayFool4life is a great album … should have been named what the the follow up album was … “Album of the Year” of which the single “Last Cup of Sorrow” was the only gem from …but man I really wish they produced a whole album that sounded like this song!!! If this band would of committed to a high level mediocrity they could have sold themselves into being a touring jam band with devoted “Faithcurians” following them around in neon-day glow graffiti covered school busses …should-a, could-a, would-a!!! Song 5: keep in mind the song before this on the album playlist was ”M*&@3F*3ker” …what a leap in concept and lyric! I feel a part II … I must have faith …there will be FNM slow burn part II

[@marieheroff5558]

The Real Thing was the first tape I bought with my own money. I was on a family vacation and got it at a gas station somewhere along our road trip. I loved every song!! It was perfect in my young teen years and still one of my faves. I love your reactions and the way you point things out in music I love that I may not have heard before. I enjoy watching you discover things you haven't experienced and how much you genuinely enjoy the ride. 🙂 I'm in Tulsa, OK and have shared your channel with my husband. We love it!!

[@RB-cb4fv]

Love this, love your reactions and explanations of the importance of engineering and unloved instruments like bass. Great selection to get an overview of the sheer variety of their back catalogue. I love the guitar work on FNM, such great power and emotion. Matador is one of my favourites, I love the build up and how it almost, almost collapses into chaos at the end but still underpinned by that bass. Magical.

[@miniblackhole]

Sitting in a countryside house in northern Germany, after a day chilling on the Baltic coast. Been looking forward to watching this all day!

[@matheuscadavalfreitas8870]

I just love seeing his surprised expressions when evidence plays. Great song.

[@BaSingSe9092]

Everything's Ruined might be my favourite FNM track, I love when it soars operatically in the chorus and the outro is such a hook

[@Bass.sick.b1tch]

Matador was such a great choice … I grew up with Faith, covering Falling to Pieces in my high school band in 1991, but I have to say Matador is my fav Faith song, of so many

[@Strizz484]

Super underrated track, it was easily the best song on Sol Invictus (which is better than it gets credit for)

[@Denis-gd8yq]

​@@Strizz484both Sol Invictus and Matador sound great.

[@sukulmati]

You should check out their cover of Easy. Anytime I've played it for someone they immediately get the weirdest look on their face as some inkling of recognition struggles to come out. I still hear it every few months over the speakers when I'm grocery shopping or running other errands.

[@janinebedfordl]

Thank you (and your subscribers and Billy Gould) for this

[@cjwharton1]

GEEBZ!!! This is absolutely on of my favorite bands. Thank you for listening to "Everything's Ruined" and especially for "Evidence"!!! Such great tracks that really break the mold!

[@scottkidder438]

The thing with the comments and algothingies. Thanks for this! My not quite 1yo was stealing my headset and I am truly sorry I did not get a picture of the spirit flowing through him....ended up having to basically double watch this, one for him and one for me.

[@BornVillain14]

I always forget and sometimes underestimate just how much Angel Dust means to me as an album. As soon as I heard the opening piano of Everything's Ruined, I got a lump in my throat. This album is one of many that has helped me through some of the hardest times of my life. Angel Dust is incredible, and Mike Patton has been present in almost every phase of my life. Thank you for giving these albums a listen and giving them the respect that many of us feel they deserve.

[@michaelhudson5741]

Angel's Dust is known for being the template EQ for all guitar driven music for modern sound we have today. Having no focus as guitars in the forefront, has brought forth the other instruments in the mix and inherently.

[@hunglikeahorse---fly]

Badd ass man!!! This is beyond my favorite slow burn of yours!!! Mostly because FNM is my absolute favorite band and Mike Patton is an amazing artist and can use his voice is so many ways its like it's his own musical instrument!!! 🤘🏿🤘🤘🏼

[@anthonymartin1S.A.]

I'm in Adelaide, South Australia. I love this...what you do.said it before and will again no doubt.its great getting some confirmation on what I've enjoyed in this music that is part of me...as I tear right up.its great seeing U flip on what I have. Angel dust for me is the greatest album I know.just sayin.

[@DreamReaver76]

G'day from Australia, I got Angel Dust for my 17th birthday the year it came out, best present ever and still one of my all time favourite albums. Love to see you do a Slow Burn with Clutch.

[@whengooddogsdobadthings9156]

Your reaction to Evidence was FANTASTIC..one of my faves... they would pretty much make soundtracks instead of "SONGS" per say

[@timt7058]

Great job. You need to do more for sure. You should do a Bungle slow burn also sometime.

[@neilpatrickhairless]

Angel Dust is the most influential album to myself and I couldn't imagine how many other musicians that are around my age group. To quote Ric Flair: "you don't have to like it, but you better learn to love it"

[@Solanumzz]

5:06 I knew you were gonna make that face right there lol

[@garrison9595]

I grew up listen FNM in my younger ago 80's, 90's and to this day... always fire up.

[@GG-ik6it]

Malpractice is a great side of faith no more and mouth to mouth or ugly in the morning really everything is amazing with mike patton

[@villejamsa5549]

Back to childhood. I'm going back to Faith no more. thanks a super lot. Far from Finland

[@frederikfromwilkie3852]

The title song from “The Real Thing” album has been one of my top five tracks in my thirty years as a huge fan of metal music. The harmonys combined with the lyrics of Patton are fantastic! I hope that you will give it a shot sometime in the future, it is all worrh it. Thank you for some great videos, I really enjoy your approach as a professional composer.

[@sylph4721]

thanks so much for this, been into them since l was a teen, caught them 'live' once, the tweeters on the sound system couldn't handle his screams which was fun, adding some lovely square waves. listening from New Zealand :) p.s please look into the Band KING'S X, the best Band you never heard. Summer Land, Shoes, A Box.
