This was a groundbreaking song and essentially helped kicked in the door for the 90s. They were the first band that successfully fused rap and rock together into one and laid the blueprint for other bands to come in the 90s and 2000s. The Red Hot Chili Peppers took it a step further about a year later with their song 'Give It Away'

[@theDavidChannel1]

Released towards the end of '89 on the album The Real Thing, and I believe this song was released as a single in January of 1990 (the very time I turned 7, lol).

This song and the whole album "The Real Thing" was a game changer and wayy ahead of everyone back in 1988 when it was released!

There probably wouldn't be no Limp Bizkit, Deftones, Korn, Linkin Park, Incubus if there was no Faith No More!

[@DJHolte]

Faith No More was one of the groups that really was influential in combining musical styles -- yet, as surprising as their music was when they hit the scene, it was also very accessible. Though truth be told, I may have been in Amber's camp the very first time I heard this song, as well, but like her, I grew to really dig their sound -- and ended up buying several albums from 'em.

[@atomfallen2409]

Coal chamber said the bass was influential

[@TheFoxUK]

Faith No More are a band the are v late 80’s early 90’s. They inspired bands like Slipnot and Lincon Park. They where the first to do kind of Genre and bring it mainstream. They where pre grunge. They were literally…….EPIC. 🔥

[@carlpeterson8182]

Well they were not the first to do it. Maybe bring it more mainstream. The Red Hot Chili Peppers were still not huge yet. They were your older cool brothers group. But the RHCP and FNM has a little feud. The RHCP thought FNM stole their style. Copied them. I can kind of see it. It was all so new and FNM was more hard rock/ metal than the RHCPs. They had more groove. Loved them both at this time period. I kind of phased out of FNM as they changed. Stayed with the RHCP but liked them much less as they got so popular and the music suffered.

Midlife Crisis - classic arrangements. One my favourite tunes of the 90s

[@90hatter90]

I was waiting for this day for so long. I along with many others I am certain have requested this song. I could not wait until I saw you react to this. Your reaction is exactly what I figured it would be. Especially those first 10-15 seconds.

[@DJFalkoHannover]

Faith No More is one of the most influential bands of all times! You urgently have to do more of their stuff! „everythings ruined“, „midlife crisis“ etc is a must! FNM

[@celebratinglifeeasingloss]

Aaandddd welcome to Faith No More! Amber you'll get into it, trust me. Their whole catalogue is brilliant. They are my favourite band of all time.

[@ceeceetomato4667]

This song absolutely rocked in the 90’s and still does until now. It’s a mash up of rock and rap. It’s a force to be reckoned with. Listen to it more and you’ll be hooked. It’ll grow on you. As a kid in the 90’s, the video was mesmerising. Man this song just hits different.

[@danielbullock1019]

Thanks for reacting to this awesome song! Their song "Falling to Pieces", and their cover of "Easy" by The Commodores are definitely a couple that you all should check out!

[@DaeronK]

I really do hope you give them more of a listen, because they are a great band to go down the rabbit hole with. To start with there's 'Midlife Crisis', one of my favourites. I recommend a lyric vid for that reaction, not because it's heavy but because the way he says/sings the lyrics may mean it's difficult to pick up what he's saying. Or for Amber there's the easier on the ears 'Evidence' or 'Easy'. All are excellent choices.

[@Mcbuzz37]

Faith No More showed up during a time from the late 80's through the early 90's where bands were exploring new styles including fusion of more than one type of music, the beginning of Grunge and Industrial Rock . If you want more samples of the style of that time period Try Nine Inch Nail's "Head like a Hole" and Meatpuppets song "Backwater".

[@icezebra]

I love backwater

[@guystephens2881]

Meatpuppets there is a blast from the past

[@corinastiles5216]

Love that you listened to Faith No More. It's a little funny that Jay was wearing a Billy Idol T-shirt , because when I saw them Live, they were opening for Billy Idol on his Charmed Life Tour. Their cover of War Pigs is a must listen.

[@jenniferallred9367]

I love Jay's reaction! That was our reaction when we first heard it!

[@CursiMusic]

Jay, the whole album is awesome. I played the crap out of this when I was younger. the singer has an enormous range. you'd be surprised.

[@corneliuscrewe677]

Takes me back, that’s for sure. I’ve gotta dig it out and have a listen again.

[@I.am.Iain-81]

This was one of the biggest song of the year when it came out and easily one of the biggest releases of the decade. They also have a great cover of 'Easy' Ugly Kid Joe is another band that had a huge hit back in the day called 'Everything About You' You should definitely check it out 👍

[@vanessalucas4760]

And speaking of covers, they should also check out Ugly Kid Joe's cover of Harry Chapin's "Cats In The Cradle"

[@I.am.Iain-81]

@@vanessalucas4760 absolutely

[@jersey39]

I agree with you should check out Ugly Kid Joe. Neighbor is another great song of theirs

[@darkjedi447]

Mike Patton is one of my ALL TIME favorite singers. I have been listening to FNM for so many years, including their most recent album, Sol Invictus, and there is a special talent here that just can't be described in words. They can rock, rap, be serious, or joke around, and it never affects the quality if their music. They are one of a kind. Personally, my favorite song if theirs is LAST CUP OF SORROW. The song RV is a classic example of how they can be funny, creative, and talented all at the same time. Perhaps their best 'commercial' moment was doing a cover of EASY ( Lionel Richie ), which sounds like a beautiful song when they sing it, but in actuality, they are completely making fun of it, and right before the guitar solo, Mike actually yells 'ewww' to make it obvious how they don't like it...just hilarious. Keep smiling 🤘 🙂

[@paultreneary]

This is so layered too - I had the fade-out vocals (ripped from a multitrack ogg file) as my ringtone for 10 years, and it's unrecognisable to the uninitiated

[@bencomics9277]

Your reaction made my day! This came out when I was in 8th Grade…THIS IS WHAT I GREW UP ON. Shout out to the Living Colour comment. It was literally this video and Cult of Personality which became my anchor to an identity. It was about being yourself weird self, not mimicking anyone. There are so many directions to go from here, how this connects to the past and future of music. How HUGE this was at the time. Who Mike, Mike, Jim, Roddy & Billy were and who they all became. Some of which Y’All get right off here…but this is just the beginning. Can’t wait till you get to the parts that include Rahzel, Courtney Love, Slayer…there is so much. AND YES THAT IS BJÖRKS FISH. This band is Bay Area legend!

[@jo9376]

This was their biggest hit but this entire album was amazing from beginning to end.

[@nancysmith8626]

I love how Jay's mind is blown, ha. Trust me, we felt the same way the first time we heard this! It was a massive hit, even if it was a bit "perplexing." There was a sense that this band was a perfect bridge from late 80s rock into a different early 90s sound. Amber may not come around to them, but if you want to try a few more songs, I'd suggest going back in time and listening to "We Care a Lot" (just an awesome song) and then forward again with "Falling to Pieces," "Surprise! You're Dead!" (I know, awful, but - great song!) and "Midlife Crisis."

[@Lily.Fern.1107]

This song was a little groundbreaking when it came out in the late 80's. It was definitely a what genre would this song fall into? Great reaction! It's totally on par! 😉🙃

[@aromero550]

Of course you more than dig it! It really only takes one song to get into these guys. To see both your initial reactions made me smile ear to ear

[@mikeruiz8969]

That whole album kills!!

[@NetProphet76]

Seriously, one of the best singers of all time, he’s only showing you a fraction of his power here. Lots of people are suggesting Easy, so I’ll go with I Started a Joke. I’ve seen them live twice, almost 30 years apart.

[@moleman1976]

Faith No More is one of my favorite bands ever, and Mike Patton is one of the best vocalists you will hear. I'd list songs, but really you should just listen to the entirety of the "Real Thing" and "Angel Dust" albums, plus several songs from their later works. "The Real Thing" is my favorite song by them, but the entire Angel Dust album was literally part of the soundtrack to my sophomore year in high school. I listened to it with my best friends over and over and over, and every song on that album will awaken memories in me!

[@marcharley6465]

Absolutely love Jay's reaction to this song

[@ericchamberlain5872]

One of the greatest albums ever made by anybody period.

[@mF--H8]

Faith No More is in a category of their own they are not grunge. They are metal. Mike Patton is one of the most diverse vocalists in the genre of heavy metal, diving through their discography and check out some other stuff that they've done you'll be very impressed. Also this album was released in 1989.

[@texasracefanful]

This song was in heavy rotation on MTV in the summer of 1990. It felt like every time we turned it to MTV, there it was. Good thing I liked it.

[@michaelpetepiece4566]

For the next Faith No More song I'll recommend either "Ugly in the Morning" or "The Gentle Art of Making Enemies". Both are showcases for just how off the chain Mike Patton's vocals can get, and both are just plain badass songs. Both are from the album 'King for A Day Fool For A Lifetime', which is just a fantastic album provided you're ok with having your face rocked off.

[@ericilsen864]

Now you need to react to "Everything About You" by Ugly Kid Joe. Great rock song.

[@lizs.5046]

Agreed! Was just coming here to say this!

[@stephenulmer3781]

Yes! Good suggestion 😀

[@lindah.4664]

Absolutely another great rock song from the early 90s: Everything About You by Ugly Kid Joe.

[@Triggerhippie70]

Mike Patton is a genius!! This man is absolutely brilliant the fact that he speaks multiple languages had a band that sang in Italian his other band Mr. bungle was freaking unbelievable. If you enjoy Faith No More you have to listen to Mike Patton’s other projects the man is sheer genius!

[@AngelaSmith-tz7wr]

You’ve just scratched the surface. Mike Patton is amazing. They have so much you have to listen to. Please keep listening.

[@vidzsz]

The lead singer Mike Patton has one of the widest vocal ranges in music. He has a bunch of side projects too. Very talented guy

Mr. Bungle!

Jay, your reaction was so much fun to watch! You both bring me smiles and I love appreciating music I've known for years in a new different way. Thanks!!

[@scarlettfire11]

Lovin' this reaction! When these guys first hit the music scene they were such a powerhouse, a breath of fresh air. I love this song. My housemates at the time did not appreciate it, not one little bit. I loved seeing the instant connection you had with it, Jay. Reminded me of myself, head bopping, fist in the air. Extra cool that you're bopping in a Dodger's cap. Amber, I appreciate you so much! You enjoy music the way some people enjoy a fine meal. I love how you are open to so many genres. It is okay to not love everything. It is wonderful that you are so willing to give a listen to other FNM songs. You are a special & classy lady.

[@ButthurtNSalty]

The T-Shirt Mike Patton is wearing is his other band Mr Bungle. He absconded with the money the band made from the album this song is from to fund Mr Bungle’s first album. He then returned, paid the money back and they made Angel Dust. I recommend you try to find some Mr Bungle to react to as well as the whole catalogue of Faith No More. You will not be disappointed in any song you may find. Try to find live versions if you can, Mike does some crazy things with his voice.

[@joelbeverley603]

More Faith No More!!!! “The Gentle Art of Making Enemies “!!!

[@stephenulmer3781]

Not a one hit wonder as stated in the comments. Love this song and band(Mike Patton is awesome!) Back in 1989 when this came out the metal fans hated on this song because of the whole Rock/Rap combination. Great reaction from ya'll 😀 other songs are "Fallin to pieces, 'Midlife Crisis" "We care a lot" "A Small victory" "Midnight Cowboy" and of course their cover of The Commadores "Easy" 😀 This was in the Top 40 then

[@gbcrowne271]

Agree! They are far from being a one hit wonder! They have some very good albums, l love “The Real Thing’, ‘Underwater Love’ and ‘King For a Day...Fool for a Lifetime’ is a great album 🔥

[@jodycollins2204]

Love this band. This album is incredible. Cover of War Pigs. Awesome

[@deeksquad8305]

Agreed; "Easy" is one of the best covers, hands down. Mike Patton has great vocal range. In the league David Draiman of Disturbed "The Sound Of Silence".

[@punkem733]

Read somewhere he has the widest vocal range of any rock singer 6 octaves. Axl Rose is #2 all time.

[@deeksquad8305]

Brad Delp, the original Lead Singer of Boston had an 8 octave range. "More Than A Feeling" is a prime example of it.

[@punkem733]

@@deeksquad8305 I googled "brad Delp vocal range" and nothing comes up. Hell who knows with these lists one had AXl at #2 or #3 with Mike Patton at like #6 or #7 and even mentioning the article I read that had Mike at #1, and how he beat out axl on that list, but they put him way behind axl on their list. LOL I don't know.
