Mike Patton speaks on genius

Mike Patton and Imani Coppola from Peeping Tom select their favourite Australian band when guest-hosting the music video show 'rage'.

[@DeutscheDemokratischeRepublik]

The moment he said wolfmother LOL

[@zoso1980]

Holy carp, the sarcasm is strong!

[@francisapple]

" mike patton is about as talented as he is goodlooking"- that's real nice to say man , aww

[@m3shad]

For everyone shitting on Patton and his opinion of Wolfmother... I implore you to check out the interview vid where the singer of Wolfmother is going on about "WE'RE the musicians, YOU'RE the FAAANS." He comes across as more of a douchebag, condescending, egotistical jerkoff than Patton could ever be... all the while, not even possessing a small fraction of the talent and creativity Mike has. Music is subjective and is all a matter of opinion. Mike is just as entitled to that opinion as we all are. However, even though music is subjective, some people do have a better gauge on what can be considered as 'shit' or 'good'. These are the people who tend to share Patton's opinion, not because "Patton said it, so I agree", but because they know enough about music to know that Wolfmother are indeed a 'shit' band.

[@jmaguire2232]

Mike is certainly an asshole, but he’s an entertaining one and we love him for it.

[@fernetpunker]

I love Mike so much. HE is the genius.

[@defmud80]

The original troll

[@Gigi1111Layna]

Love Mike Patton foreverrr. The best at sarcasm with class..bc if you don't know him you think he's being real. The drop down description even said "Mike hosting and introducing his favorite Aussie band"😳 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@JayBigDadyCy]

I lol'd hard when i watched this, because i had just watched the interview with him dis'ing Wolfmother. Mike Patton never ceases to amaze me, fucking hilarious.

[@MelvanaInChains]

I love how revolted he looks at the very end right before it cuts out to black.

[@13luckyblackcat]

Mike Patton is brilliant with mad humor!

[@oilkills]

Let's put it together!!! A superband with... vocals: Mike Patton (our hero) guitar: Buckethead (Mike's friend) bass: Les Claypool (Bucky's friend) drums: Marco Minnemann (a legend)

[@silentxero5955]

Perfect! I was also thinking both Page Hamilton (Helmet) guitar/backing vocals , Justin Broderick (Godflesh) guitar/backing vocals as well as B.H. .Les Claypool would also be my choice for Bass.

[@SmittyHeWasNumber1]

Wolfmother should thank Mike Patton for even mentioning them!!

[@adayinthelife5772]

When I first heard/saw wolfmother play I said to myself "oh yeah theyre going for the whole psychedelic 70's rock thing " and I didn't expect them to last or become as big as they did which was very surprising as their music was very unoriginal. That's the point Mike is making as his opinion is that music should always be seeking to bring something new. It was always the challenge of every meaningful and serious musician and now you could just copy and be lazy and still be huge.

[@flowrepins6663]

in brazil they bring pp that dont even play or sing anything to make music, be greatful

[@Stelios86]

hahahaha for a moment there, i though he was serious.. hahahaha

[@gman3z]

mr. patton has earned the right to hate on whomever he wants. by far the most under-rated vocalist alive.

[@GaeaRage]

I cannot favorite this video any harder; this is -literally- the best thing ever.

[@TS-wv4tf]

wait wasn't he saying Wolfmother sucks on other video? haha

[@zoso1980]

+Titan Whiteriver Sarcasm, serious sarcasm. Delivered in a deadpan style, but oozing sarcasm.

[@Jordanickel]

They are such an AWESOME Led Zeppelin cover band...I just wish they'd put out some of their own material for once :(

[@JackieNihil]

HAHAHAHAHA! Mike has been funny since the day he was born! XD

[@todd0000420]

anyone who can create music that nobody would have thought of or written at a given time is by definition a genius.

[@bringeroflightphenox4300]

Who gives a shit what Mike Patton likes anyway. People need to learn how to think for themselves. If you like a certain band than good for you. Don't let some fuck face make you feel bad. Not everyone likes the same music. But the key here is to think for yourself people.

[@AroundThePony]

i love Mike.i can`t describe it in words...

[@deepestpurple13]

Nice!! I'll have to check him out (RIP), Thanks!!! It's wonderful that Faith No More, while on the outside might seem like an exclusive heavy metal/funk outfit that only fits people who like that genre, can hit music lovers of all kinds. To me, Patton's voice is kind of like Jeff Beck's guitar playing, it goes places you've never heard, and can fit any "style", or create it's own!

[@MemeMan1984]

I haven't seen this one but I saw his reaction outside the festival years ago so this is a nice giggle.

[@Metamorphosis33]

If anyone is confused about whether he is being serious or not....look up the interview with him where wolfmother is playing in the background....frigging hilarious

[@Stoffis]

This is priceless :D

[@terriblecrayon]

Patton rules, and can say or do whatever he wants.

[@MELONMOVIES]

LOL! He's so good at sarcasm!!! :)

[@ghostwhiskey]

that was sandpaper dry,the sarcasm wasalmost too good

[@ControlAllDa1337]

I wonder how many Wolfmother fans saw this and didn't realize he was being extremely sarcastic lol

[@Ramstoned]

He can be so sarcastic - I love it

[@alkemious]

Mike is not in the spotlight because he chose not to and disbanded FNM the moment he felt they it hold him back artistically. which sucks because they were the best band ever, but i everyone who knows what Mike is all about respects that decision. Mike didn't care about being a rockstar, he wanted better. he's the modern day Zappa.

[@tterragnevets]

Hell yeah! Wolfmother till the grave, hahahaha, lmao.I can't get enough of that high pitch "Singing" blasted into my ears. lol.

[@uiruu]

Patton is awesome. He is just relentlessly bashing Wolfmother... and rightly so.

[@boulz666]

ahhahahah didn't see that coming! In your face!

[@ScottXC91]

I think he's aware of that. He's just saying that Patton puts them down as if they were, even though they aren't. When he really is nothing more than that.

[@PhatBoyMedia]

Excellent. So deadpan.

[@jamesejudy3]

Mike is so friggin' sarcastic! LOL

[@adammiddleton8028]

Vocals : Mike Patton Guitars : Chris Arp Bass: Ryan Martini Drums: Bran Dailor That would be a band with so much talent... but nobody would probably listen... because it would be good

[@methogonzo]

it's not written to be accessible. its just expression. he could write accessible stuff in his sleep

[@Pyrofries]

I love Mike Patton.

[@4AUNTIE2]

this was funny. It's great that there is a place for Mike Patton in media. Where would we be without people like him? He speaks his mind, no matter what, and he doesn't seem to care of feed-back, negative or positive. But what do I know... FAME IS LAME, n'est ce pas?

[@ChimpFromSpace]

What was up with that retro 70's sound that was popular like 5 years ago? Haha Wolfmother...this shit cracked me up.

[@silverash63]

Ah ah "what decade are we in" 😂

[@cksullivan100]

Love his work

[@N200DLE]

LMFAO! Patton you are soooo funny and soooo fucking cool - I love ya xxxx

[@AkiraFollower]

yes he is

[@FreeDirtyNeedles]

Obviously sarcasm is beyond some folks.

[@thekillers1stfan]

@LessthanJake14 having a good voice doesn't make you generic, Patton is not only impossible to look at for mor than 5 seconds at a time but his voice busts eardrums worldwide

[@murraytaylor123]

no, i believe that websters makes more words in the hope that people like you will understand at least a few of them.

[@risingpower]

LOLOL. Love the sarcasm!

[@aikicinema]

This is hillarious.

[@murraytaylor123]

yyyeah thats pretty much what i said... only to my knowledge, it doesnt just have to be an incorrect spelling, but a fumbled passage or whatever.

[@tiaputadobatiman]

Mike is a great mind! Love him...

[@halusky]

Well, I suppose with the sheer amount of talent he possesses and experimental work he's done, I say Patton deserves the right to be a bit pretentious.

[@damagejackal10]

Well... This was an Australian video show "RAGE" so of course he's not going to disrespect them

[@sleepiswrong667]

(cont) Pranzo Oltranzista was just to weird for me, that's the one that is a soundtrack to a book called the futurist cook book, which includes things like eating raw steak in a room with only a red light to see and making shrill saxophone blast in between each bite, among other weird recipes,

[@dantealanexplosion8125]

Can't forget his works with John Zorn, and Mondo Cane. AND a whole album with Dillinger Escape Plan :)

[@home1261]

Hard to hate on patton grew up listening to his music.

[@darkenraja]

His hair is so shiny.

[@drbob222]

amen brother

[@CountDukie]

yeah! George S. Patton is a total baller!

[@zzgtrplyr121]

hahahah this mike patton wolfmother youtube feud cracks me up

[@evilbunnysanta]

HAHA sarcasm at its best

[@tsarkolya922]

When has Patton ever credited Zappa?

[@SuperSilkyJohnson]

Disturbed and Papa Roach ruling the rock airwaves? Dude I think you're stuck in 2001.

[@hjelte]

the man

[@Zerojimm]

@TheInbornMechanics When I saw this in my inbox, I thought for sure that I was going to get flamed. I think you may have restored my faith in humanity.

[@Zerojimm]

@IsraJones That's really what it looks like to me. I can see him in some old cartoon, sitting on a motorcycle with his gang behind him, picking on on some poor stoner kid. "You suck, Wolfmother!" "Huh-huh, you tell 'em, boss! This little punk ain't got nuthin' on you!". He starts hating on this one band, and you all file in and rain shit from his heavenly palace onto them. And I'd hardly say that two albums is "jack shit", by the way. It's less than Patton, but it isn't "jack shit".

[@greentreetank9271]

Brutal

[@merrett]

lawl at people getting upset over Patton disliking Wolfmother. PATTON IS AMAZING, AND HE IS ALLOWED TO BE ARROGANT FOR THIS REASON. DEAL WITH IT

[@eatyoualive2000]

he is so awesome xD

[@orlandobands]

damn, he is a bad ass!

[@nothing907]

hahaha, funny stuff. Didin't see that coming.

[@trickyfeet]

why did he randomly say Wolfmother? I thought he hated Wolfmother.

[@solyhhit]

I gave you a thumbs up because this is exactley what I thought in my head

[@Free_Beer]

@acdc2196 Fair enough. I can understand his old stuff being more "available" in the sense more people can get into it, and it's not REALLY his place to diss on other bands, but I suppose we all do every now and then...

[@murraytaylor123]

For those of you not aware... its not a one-way hate thing from patton to wolfmother, wolfmother actually DID insult Patton anyway, and I think I know which of the two has contributed most to music... (hint: the one whose name WOULDN'T suggest the child of a bestiality/cross-breeding fuckup.)

[@jumpmanhat]

HHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA that was a *knee slapper* LOL

[@natrat888]

youre absoloutley right.. by the way i believe mike is one of the best live perfirmers.. i once saw his show in israel. that was fuking awesome.. with john zorn.. and i met him after the performance.. i still cant believe i spoke and took a photo with this legend.. he's not human

[@automatwinslaytracks]

What happened to Wolfmother?

[@jukebox019]

LOVE IT!! LOVE IT!! LOVE IT!!

[@thekillers1stfan]

@LessthanJake14 why? because it actually taps into emotions instead of just leaving you thinking "what the the fuck am i listening to"?

[@arnoldvld]

whahaha, can't stop laughing. This guy is a genious!

[@rockypc24]

mike looks like he could work at a pawn shop WHICH IS FUCKING AWSOME

[@WildBillHickums]

@Zerojimm There are absolutely no words to describe how much I hate disturbed.

[@Iluvthosetightp]

Wow! You are brilliant!

[@WeylandTheSmith]

sdmf, I don't think he was implying that the more people listen, the less quality it is. I think he was expressing disbelief that so many could like something like Wolfmother. Relax. :)

[@Skoojoo]

im confused...in another video he says wolfmother sucks

[@TheGlow101]

I would kill to see the next 30 seconds of the video... "BwahahahahahhaAHAHAHA"

[@ScottJones12stringscott]

Mike, you are the funniest damn dude ever. We know how you feel :). This is classic Mike sarcasm.

[@tecciztucatl]

Yeah I guess I was thrown by what it said in the comments about them having selected the videos themselves. Ah well...

[@TNAOWT]

Patton rules. It's clearly sarcasm...

[@stevebooksmetal]

Clearly Patton is mocking wolfmother. If u look it up you'll see how he ripped them apart in another interveiw. I'm pretty sure this is him just trying to male good of his previous rant.

[@PanterAmetal100]

Haha, KISS t-shirt!

[@333baast333]

Hahahah!....excellent, excellent!

[@ElNeebre]

Hahha! hilarious!

[@thatrsdude]

heh, Anti-Flag recently did the same thing with Midnight Oil. Their drummer particularly hates them.

[@xstefferzx]

Hahaha, I loved this. I love that people who don't have a clue don't sense the sarcasm :D

[@EyEnOtgAy]

oh man, you done goofed hard lol
