Take This Bottle-Chuck Mosley (Faith No More cover)

Instead of grieving I watched and listened to a lot of audio and video of Chuck Mosley's Reintroduce Yourself tour. This led me to cobble together a video for our cover of Faith No More's, Take This Bottle. I didn't know what I was doing and I only had so much footage to work with, but I enjoy it and you should too...Please share.

After three decades working in music, Chuck Mosley (Faith No More, Bad Brains, Indoria, Primitive Race) decided to pursue a solo project with a raw, psychedelic, acoustic direction. Armed with his guitar, a vocal effects processor, and a few friends (Cris Morgan, Randy Pirosko, and Douglas Esper), he embarked on a two year tour and completed a few recording sessions. During a six-hour block in August of 2017 with producer Joe Haze, Chuck recorded two covers, “Nothing Compares 2 U,” originally written by Prince (and originally made famous by Sinead O’Connor), and “Take this Bottle” by Faith No More (a FNM cut recorded during Mike Patton’s reign). The two recordings have never been released until now.
This ended up as Chuck’s last time recording in a studio before his death on November 9th 2017. His guitar solo on Nothing Compares 2 U never got completed as the band had to leave for a show that night in Salt Lake City.

Wow! This truly illustrates the differences between Moseley and Patton... Patton is not given to being overly emotive with his singing... it almost sounds like he's "kidding" or being sarcastic in almost everything he sings. This works well for him and is one of the reasons we love him... he contrasts that with a pure, near-perfect instrument. It's intriguing. Mosely, on the other hand, has this broken, kinda fucked up voice, but there is beauty in its imperfections (what the Japanese call Wabi Sabi) and there is such sincerity in everything he sings... he emotes beautifully on his tune. Love the full circle this creates too (Mosely-Patton-Mosely). RIP Chuck, you beautiful soul!

[@mattm2926]

its Mosley.....

[@thingfish000]

It's effective because it's understated. He keeps it real and avoids the big notes.

[@dennisandersen3107]

Attaboy, thanks bro ❤

[@samuelbarr7908]

The difference is sheer talent vs pure heart

[@hastesoldat]

Mike Patton is my favorite singer of all time but... man what you said here is spot on. "it almost sounds like he's "kidding" or being sarcastic in almost everything he sings" This is exactly how I feel as well about his singing. Even though I love it, it's missing a lot in terms of painting or conveying emotions.

[@dagk66]

Never get bored of this version. RIP Chuck.

[@paulus104]

Amazing, the more I hear about Chuck, the more I like him... sad I'll never get to see him play

[@douglasesper]

he was uneven live, too timid, downright confusing...but he had his moments. there were times he just relaxed and lived in the moment and blew the crowd away...

[@42sebu]

Chuck Mosley was a true gent as well as being a fantastic musician. His death was unbearably sad; I choose to remember him as he was on his last tour - vulnerable and fragile and hesitant as he started his set, and finished owning it and our happy crowd at the Boston in North London. And delighted to talk to his fans after his set - a genuinely good guy. We love you Chuck, wherever you may be.

[@douglasesper]

42sebu Boston arms was an amazing night! I just listened to part of the live album today and it has a couple songs from that night. Thanks for helping keep chuck’s music alive.

[@paulwatson3185]

Just discovered this. This is beautiful. Had the privilege of meeting Chuck when he was touring the UK with Cement. I was playing bass for one of the support bands. He was a sweet and humble guy. He signed my Cement album, "Thanks for the support but haven't you heard, we suck, Chuck."

[@douglasesper]

I would've loved to have seen Cement live. Chuck was great. Glad you found this video.

Man I miss him. Not only is Faith No More the most under-rated rock band in history. But Chuck Mosley is pretty much responsibile for most of the music in the 1990's. And most people have never even heard of him.

[@DrScott666]

2 years later... and Johnathan Davis and Fred Dust BOTH wish they could be half as talented as Chuck. Meanwhile I would trade every shitty 90's NuMetal lead singer for just one more day w Chuck!!!

[@Davebloke]

Absolutley stunning. I love this cover. Brought memories back from the gig in Swindon uk. Beautiful and haunting and I can't help but feel sad when i listen to this. A beautiful man, A Beautiful voice and A beautiful soul.

[@douglasesper]

Swindon was a fun night!

[@dustinzaccaria7644]

Funny I typically think Patton sings Chuck's songs better than Chuck did, but clearly Chuck sang this better than Patton ever did. I think the subject matter hit home close for Chuck and you could feel the pain in him and also see what a beautiful person he was. Great perfromance

[@douglasesper]

Chuck certainly embraced the song and approached it in a genuine way.

[@ScaryGarrySG1]

We gotta thank you for saving this footage Doug! It sure isn't easy coming off tour and trying to sort through all the footage and pics taken and trying to find a purpose for it before the old familiar computer crash comes a 'callin. I am sure Chuck found ways daily to make "capturing the moments" even more difficult, but we all still love him, and it's obvious you did as well. I gotta cry every time I see this for someone I never even met, and I just finished reading the book. It hits even harder. On whatever type of level it was on, we are all lucky that we got to "know" Chuck.

[@douglasesper]

Thanks for the kind words. I tried to video/record audio as much as I could, but I wish I had planned better and gotten more…and yeah, that harddrive crash still makes me so mad! Thanks for reading the book ;)

[@ScaryGarrySG1]

@@douglasesper I am so thankful for people that try to find a home for things like this, otherwise it just gets lost to time, and Chuck needs to be remembered. Keep us posted on what you have going on. I saved a few podcasts on Amazon music with you that I am looking forward to checking out. The book was a great read. Instead of "we went on tour and everything was great" the much more interesting story is "Things rarely were perfect and nothing happened that we didn't have to MAKE happen." That side is far more interesting to me.

[@nexus7034]

Was thinking about Layne Staley and how badly drugs fucked up his life. I feel like a lot of guys from the 80s through the 90s all ended up on either heroin or cocaine or became alcoholics. Lost a lot of talented men and women to drugs and alcohol. Peace and love to those who are fighting addiction now and in the past. Shit is hard to fight, but you are all stronger than that monster.

[@thewreckofisgard6380]

douglas esper those first two albums aren’t really something you’d hear nowadays with rock being kind of homogenized. There’s a lack of creativity, but there are some really good and interesting bands. Patton has moved on from FNM and does his own thing now with various other bands (Fantômas, Captain Midnight, and Mr. Bungle). I just wish we could get some more weirdness in rock music again.
