Faith No More: Angel Dust v. The Real Thing

Thanks for sharing that Kurt. Secret Chiefs rule hard live...it's a shame the only time I've seen Patton was Peeping Tom which was like the diluted version of everything that makes Patton good.

Only time I've seen Patton was in 96 with FNM, should probably keep it that way.

Fantomas videos rule hard live though, especially with Terry Bozzio

Ha, it's like their first criteria was a bigger kit than Lombardo's.

It's been over a decade since I've followed Mike Patton religiously, but didn't he do a song with Secret Chiefs at some point in the last few years? That seemed to bode wel for a possible Bungle reunion, but of course it didn't happen.

I liked the Fantomas lineup with Crover a lot.

Jackie, the jacque brel one?

with Secret Chiefs

Pretty awesome, though hard not to hear Walker's version in the back of my head

holy crap i didn't know about that track. it's great!!!

Seemed to put to rest any hard feelings between the two at the time.

I don't think Mike's been too prolific lately anyway. I heard one track from the album with the guy from TV on the Radio. It was really, really, really bad. That came out in the last year or two, right?

Yeah, doesn't seem like he's been up to much. Nevermen album was bad, but the Boards of Canada remix of Mr Mistake is great.

Was going to make a smartass comment about wasn't there talk about a FNM reunion album at some point OH WAIT but then I just realized that that was two years ago and now I feel old and sad, wondering where it is that time goes when it slips through my fingers unnoticed.

There was also that new FNM album..never really heard it

I liked it at first. Haven't really thought about it since.

Cone of Shame, Matador and Separation Anxiety are pretty rocking.

the original reformation was in 2009

which makes me feel old and sad lol

FNM reunion album =a good album, nothing spectacular

I just checked out the Ipecac site for the first time in years and it's just a huge list of Omar Rodriguez-Lopez releases. Damn.

The only album I've listened to on Ipecac recently is A Raw Youth by Le Butcherettes.

Which was produced by Omar Rodriguez-Lopez.

King For A Day is fkn genius

Angel Dust makes me feel like I'm in high school (in a good way)

The Real Thing still surprises me, even now it sounds exciiting

My personal accounting of albums to listen to on a Walkman while mowing the lawn: Physical Graffiti, Superunknown, The Real Thing

(Oh, and I listened to the first Comus album when I mowed my mom's yard a few years ago, that was pretty ace but it was not on a Walkman.)

just imagining the neighbor's kids running home crying cos the man next door is screaming "SURPRISE! YOU'RE DEAD!" while mowing the lawn

FTR I was like thirteen when I was screaming "SURPRISE! YOU'RE DEAD!" and making kids run home crying.

My very obnoxious friend put "The Bends" from Disco Volante on full blast on his car and we drove around suburban Dallas with his windows rolled all the way down. So many nasty looks. I think that's the one with all the horrible noise. It's been a while.

if i had had a cell phone in 1993, be aggressive would have been my ringtone

I love it how the vocal approach that Patton utilised on The Real Thing only lasted for that album!

Looks like Kaada and Patton did another album in 2016 in re: to what Patton's been up to

That video's good, but I wouldn't listen to a whole album of stuff like that really.

ok i just went to spotify and looked up holy fuck he releases like 6 records a year!!

I owned the real thing on cassette was I was 10 years old and bought angel dust when I was 13. I wasnt able to appreciate most of it at the time but I'd like to think I got some good musical education in my yoof.

i spent hours with the real thing cassette. it had a massive fold-out lyric card, i can still remember the smell, vaguely tortilla-like, strangely

I remember first hearing it on a Boy Scout campout and some kids in another tent were listening to Surprise, You're Dead and we all thought it was the funniest thing we'd ever heard in music. Then at the end of the side, the guy goes to flip the tape over and it's blue, which is also what happened to our minds at that moment.

I also want to brag about owning 'Easy' on cassingle. and I still have it in my car.

The Real Thing also contains some songs I don't dig on; Falling to Pieces is way up on that list.

I used to think this song was so trite, but these days it really captures my middle-aged anxiety.

Also, hooky as hell!

Yeah I literally just read the title and now it's on repeat in my head.

The only song I wish wasn't there is 'Edge of the World' which isn't good enough to overcome its unnecessary creepiness.

Yeah, obviously a character study, but I've never found it entertaining either. Fortunately, it's not on the vinyl version of the album.

I mowed the lawn so many times in eighth grade while listening to The Real Thing that it's now pretty much inextricable from that activity in my mind. You might say it made lawn care seem...epic.

My teenage lawn care headphone fodder was the second Dirty Rotten Imbeciles album. To tell you the truth, I would have rather been sleeping, but I was no couch slouch - I was out there dealing with it!

The real answer to this is 'King For A Day... Fool For A Lifetime'

what is the lawn-moving factor on that one?

'Caralho Voador' a nice time to pause for a refreshing glass of lemonade before digging in and giving that grass the 'Ugly in the Morning' business.

The Patton albums - Angel Dust>KFaD>Real Thing>Album of the Year

I used to listen to the blue cassette of The Real Thing on my yellow sports walkman while mowing the lawn when I was 15/16, along with Ride the Lightning and the Doors greatest hits.

That album was a huge deal to me, but in retrospect it might have been bad for prompting a strong desire to find bands that combined funk/rap/metal which in fact were all pretty terrible.

'Caralho Voador' a nice time to pause for a refreshing glass of lemonade before digging in and giving that grass the 'Ugly in the Morning' business.

This is a fine sentence. Anyway I wish that two of my favorite songs weren't called Cuckoo For Caca and Jizzlobber but what can I do, they shred.

I adore 'Falling to Pieces' off The Real Thing.

Slightly off topic but I can't imagine how many times I've watched the 'Everything's Ruined' official vid. Patton at his coolest, the band at their most melodic.
