Mike Patton on VoiceLive Touch 2 - First Impressions

tc-helicon.com/voicelive-touch-2/
Equally at home with crooning, screaming, rapping, beatboxing, growling, scatting, singing opera, hitting the high falsetto or belting out his signature sound, Mike Patton is a true genre-defying vocal alchemist who has always been willing to go where the music dictates.
Recently, Patton added the VoiceLive Touch 2 to his effects arsenal and in this video he gives his first impressions of the unit.

"You have to have limitations to create something meaningful." I've never agreed with anything more.

[@sydIRISH]

Dude is a fucking genius...I can't think of a better all around frontman than Patton. His body of work is just ridiculous, extremely talented man.

[@ThatsCoolJoshua]

i just love that he was honest. he wasn't trying to sell a product. he was just giving his look at it.

[@MrJezza76]

Ahh just love Mike he’s so honest and humble, the forever searcher … we need more musicians like him in the world …. But there will still only ever be one Mike 😊

[@charlie-girl72]

Love this guy, one of the few honest, intelligent, no bullshit taker artist! He's my generation! I'm 4 years younger.he taught me how to use my voice a long time ago. Men were my example almost never female vocalists.old man he said? Lol no Mike you're a genius forever and one of the most talented! 😎🖤🎹🎼🕶🔥🎙🇺🇸🇳🇱

[@GoreSmasher]

This is as pure a product interview as youll see. Patton gives honesty, not endorsement. Notice that he didnt give some straight rock vocals. He layered and had fun with the gear and was honest.

[@Zinfidel1]

"When Good Dogs Do Bad Things" by Mike Patton & Dillinger Escape Plan is one of the best things ever.

[@gothicgrin8721]

A very clever, sincere person, who got me back into appreciating music when I was a teenager. A real genius & talent

[@daniellecarpenter4467]

Nice interview, I think it is rather pleasant. 🌟 SideNote: Mike is often calling himself old, I see his self consciousness. I understand it, it is hard to accept age on Earth. However... He is an ageless one that remains the same throughout time. He just does different things and a lot of them. In my eyes, he is the most handsome man to have walked this planet and the most brilliant. Wether he is talking, singing or making noise... 🫠 I go speechless 🥰🤮. Excellent video🏆 🌟Danielle/PlaidCashew

[@JeninGermany]

It is so neat to see this side of Mike Patton. He's feeling his years and seems to have reached a healthy place along this mortal coil.

[@jessestrobel2]

Look at him now. Hope he gets better

[@frytechnician]

He's wearing a Portal shirt becasue he did voice work for Valve on both Portal and Left4Dead. In addition he's a big gamer too.

[@Beyondflix]

This shows that even the greats only cook with water. Sadly videos like this take away so much of the naive awe that I have for particular artists. Especially with someone like Patton, who never really gave insights into his working process. But at the same time his honesty enables me in my creative endeavors and relieves me from the stress and headaches I often cause for myself.

[@joliecomo]

Mike don't say you're old cause that means that I'm old.

[@fefefilmprod8688]

Jolie Giacomo , Don’t feel bad. We’re all getting there.

[@fefefilmprod8688]

samarth , the only prize for aging sooner is death.

[@elianeneresdasilva3244]

I want to be old like him... very atractive.

[@originofnoise]

I love the music! Haunting but dreamy as well.

[@daniellecarpenter4467]

Mike may use things "wrong" or against the instructions, but we need that. He does it so well... he brings the solution before the meeting, also valuable. And now there is so much more new and innovative things in music, but his old school-ness keeps it cool😎 🥰🤮 🌟Danielle/PlaidCashew Awesome interview🏆

[@keithanmccabe3842]

I love him what an inspiration.

[@niccoleweinberg5610]

Number 4 (? the last one) was gorgeous. I want more of that.

[@ittlemoe69]

Patton is a genius. and it wouldn't be Patton without cursing. FUCK YEAH!

[@Alphameiz]

this is so great, i wish i could make some music with this man. very awesome

[@bd9299292]

So he just starts off with, "My friend, Kimbra," and I'm wondering why we haven't seen THAT collaboration yet. Get those two and Ben Weinman in a studio together.

[@gitarkin]

Love the stuff he showed here. Dark yet beautiful. I've been a ridiculously huge fan of his for over 20 years. I've been listening to a lot of Grimes lately (easily my favorite artist atm), and wow what I wouldn't give to hear a collaboration with those two.

[@terriblecrayon]

I need one of these things!

[@MrMsBungle]

Sounds like potential film material!

[@deafhain]

Would be great If we could get to know more of his analog voice techniques and effects he mentioned. This man is a visionary on almost any ground he touched. If anyone knows about any other platform where he talked about his equipment (mics, effects, arrangements), pls let us know.

[@ini6392]

3:18 yeah... You can. I have. I should have commented years ago but, ended up here again and... Sheeeeeit, I love the f'n thing. If you are a vocalist, it'll be one of your best friends :)

[@TheSickdog187]

OMG I like the sound of that part 9:05

[@AdoneSound]

The last one was so cool :D

[@ThatsCoolJoshua]

"now of course we can do 98 tracks or whatever, on this fucking bullshit" haha

[@isaiahharrell20]

I love how he says two different things in different interviews. In previous years he would say "I'm a techie kind of guy, I love messing with new effects." Then he says this. If you watch lots of his interviews even from his teens he bullshits the people interviewing him.

[@isaiahharrell20]

Yeah, I suppose that could be it too.

[@MojoRisingTV]

Isaiah Harrell This is it.

[@isaiahharrell20]

This is it what?

[@mipmipmipmipmip]

or maybe... his opinions change over time *gasp*

[@crazyjoedavola5430]

Maybe he grew up and changed over the years....that has been known to happen 🙄

[@cmaga14]

good for you

[@elisabethsyou]

create something meaningful should be everyones goal. and i guess, in an way, it is. only the outcome is differently good.

Can you set the harmonies to a certain key?

7:09 lol!!

[@jasondelvaux3036]

He's not good with technology, yet he speaks roughly 4-5 languages. Fair trade.

[@silverdragon710]

He fascinates me so much but I understand literal zero about his music. I love Bungle and FNM, maybe a few other things but most of it to me is like that screaming egg from harry potter. Maybe I should put it under water0.0

[@tchelicon]

too funny! Glad you like this, I agree!

[@luckyducki]

This is off topic but why does he scratch his right palm around 3:25? Isn't that hand permanently numb?

[@mipmipmipmipmip]

maybe it's an AI laid over Mike Patton

[@luckyducki]

mipmipmipmipmip I realized it's a dumb question

[@NobodyCaresALot]

What're you talking about?

[@luckyducki]

@@NobodyCaresALot i read somewhere that he accidentally slashed his right wrist in one of his first bungle shows or something, and his right hand is eternally numb Edit: it was his first gig with fnm

[@bonniebloodworth]

@@luckyducki That is the story. I think it's a nervous thing, not like an itch. He's not an interview guy.

SINGS FOR THEM

[@Londeton]

Nice shirt

[@smerchi6688]

whats that shirt?

[@mukabout4243]

Interesting mike says he hates ‘loops’, thankful for that insight! Explains partly why his music especially FNM’s seemed so original and still brilliant now! The 90’s was the age of looping and even more overused today

[@mrbudgie7650]

ghostly

[@MeAndTheBoys_]

Anyone else hear that vocal thing on the background with the added clown horn sound at 3:58? Priceless! :D

[@Ipikak]

Couldn’t watch the whole thing. Is there a part, right near the end maybe… where the guy interviewing Mike hands him a cheque?

[@Psi-Ink]

+Ipikak I hope so

[@inphanta]

I would love to see him collaborate with Tricky or Holly Herndon. The results would be very interesting to say the least.

[@albertorevilla9600]

[@tylercherneski1805]

I cant tell if he has gum in his mouth or not

[@treyreznor]

some of it sounds very old style to me, almost like the early gospel singers on the middle two sound bites

Pretty weird to see Patton doing an ad....

He is such an addict.

Drunk with passion

Body Mechanics yet you chose to watch him and he doesn’t know who you are. Guess which one is the loser.

[@oldmate99]

Infomercial. Paid endorsement. Sellout.

[@tomschoepen]

1. Do you know more video's like this since 1989? Yes or No? If not => MP is integer, honest and spontaneous. 2. Does MP do TV-commercials? 3. Who's "Sellout"? Be grateful that, for once (?), he explains how he works in his own studio. And so humble.

[@melissaellenvc]

oy. What a horrible interviewee. What's up with all the cursing? His singing and artistry is amazing, but dude is so boring in an interview. This interview is not making me interested in Voice Live at all..

[@drumtravelfun]

Well, those that can, do; those who can't, teach. I think we know what category you fall into.

[@madamefeast4824]

Lol Jesus... I'm not even a huge fan but this was a wonderful product interview. Oh no, honesty .. lol this was one of the most strikingly stupid comments I have seen.. And I am gonna put , Guitarist after all my name's. Lol... Wtf.. Joseph, Guitarist...
