Yeah, that's essentially the point I was trying to make. I don't think you can be a rap/metal hybrid band if your frontman can't rap (the same rules apply to RATM).

but in my opinion they deserved to be U2 big

They were......in Prague.

I think that fish in the "Epic" video was a good dancer. For a fish.

the pre-chorus to "Falling to Pieces" has the bad rapping as well.

What's innovative then?

"I don't think you can be a rap/metal hybrid band if your frontman can't rap (the same rules apply to RATM)."

well, under those terms, there is no such thing as rap/metal. It just doesn't exist.

KIM OTM FER CHRISSAKES

Dancing fish!

So what, three songs on one album feature inept rapping and suddenly FNM is rap-metal?

― James Slone (Freon Trotsky), Thursday, 22 July 2004 02:58 (twenty-one years ago)

This is the most pathetic discussion i think I've had on the internet to date.

― James Slone (Freon Trotsky), Thursday, 22 July 2004 02:59 (twenty-one years ago)

and it's all your fault, sunshine.

― AaronHz (AaronHz), Thursday, 22 July 2004 03:01 (twenty-one years ago)

you only say that because you're losing the argument, Jimmy.

― KimberIy, Thursday, 22 July 2004 03:03 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm not even arguing. I'm just stirring the pot.

― Johnny Fever (johnny fever), Thursday, 22 July 2004 03:04 (twenty-one years ago)

No, I think it's the maniac Kim and her dogmatic approach to argument. One, I should add, that doesn't measure up against the evidence. Anyone who calls FNM rap-metal hasn't heard much of their overall material. That's an empirical fact.

― James Slone (Freon Trotsky), Thursday, 22 July 2004 03:04 (twenty-one years ago)

It's an empirical fact that you need yourself a massage with some happy ending, pal. Spring a few bucks, then come back here and start making some fucking sense.

― KimberIy, Thursday, 22 July 2004 03:06 (twenty-one years ago)

What argument? There's an argument here? All I see is someone who tries to use cheap insult to further an argument built on subjective tastes.

― James Slone (Freon Trotsky), Thursday, 22 July 2004 03:06 (twenty-one years ago)

OK, that's it. Fuck you.

― James Slone (Freon Trotsky), Thursday, 22 July 2004 03:07 (twenty-one years ago)

Kim = Rog?

― Johnny Fever (johnny fever), Thursday, 22 July 2004 03:07 (twenty-one years ago)

took you long enough, rocket surgeon.

― KimberIy, Thursday, 22 July 2004 03:11 (twenty-one years ago)

Weren't Faith No More lumped into "Funk Metal" at the time?

― latebloomer (latebloomer), Thursday, 22 July 2004 03:12 (twenty-one years ago)

"an argument built on subjective tastes"

You just described every post in every thread on ILM, EVER!!!!

― KimberIy, Thursday, 22 July 2004 03:12 (twenty-one years ago)

took you long enough, rocket surgeon.

I wasn't used to you using a handle that wasn't already someone else's.

― Johnny Fever (johnny fever), Thursday, 22 July 2004 03:16 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm a wacky son of a bitch, dude.

― KimberIy, Thursday, 22 July 2004 03:19 (twenty-one years ago)

Ah trolls. Good show.

― James Slone (Freon Trotsky), Thursday, 22 July 2004 03:19 (twenty-one years ago)

OK, that's it. Fuck you.
I love it when you talk dirty, pookie.

― AaronHz (AaronHz), Thursday, 22 July 2004 03:20 (twenty-one years ago)

Faith No More
-Innovative? Yes. Quite obviously. Mixing up a lot of song styles (more than just rap and metal) and structures in many different ways.
-Good? Nope. They didn't make any songs I particularly liked.

― David Allen (David Allen), Thursday, 22 July 2004 04:15 (twenty-one years ago)

who are all these people?? ps "Album of the Year" is the best one!!!

― Sir Chaki McBeer III (chaki), Thursday, 22 July 2004 04:25 (twenty-one years ago)

They ain't no Linkin Park

― artdamages (artdamages), Thursday, 22 July 2004 04:31 (twenty-one years ago)

This is definitely the worst thread ever.

woode-mummas boosoom swell wit pride

― lukey (Lukey G), Thursday, 22 July 2004 07:38 (twenty-one years ago)

Christ, for a minute there I thought I'd wondered into some kind of crazy alternative universe where Faith No More paved the way for Linkin Park and Papa Roach. Thank goodness it was all a dream!

Detachable Penis = King Missile is/was "mainstream"

And you were there... and you were there... and most of the Alex-s....

horray for rap metal

― dude crazy?, Thursday, 22 July 2004 10:52 (twenty-one years ago)

"And you were there... and you were there... and most of the Alex-s.... "

indeed, for i am an alex as well!

― latebloomer (latebloomer), Thursday, 22 July 2004 11:25 (twenty-one years ago)

I have to say that latebloomer is the only one making any sense here.

Christ, I'd forgotten all about CSC. They were quite good, weren't they?

― Wooden, Thursday, 22 July 2004 13:30 (twenty-one years ago)

Faith No More really pissed off Warner Bros., who wanted them to hit a formula more similar sonically to "Epic" (for which the milking for $$$ could occur), when they released Angel Dust, a ridiculously stylistic mind-fuck. Them playing "Caffeine" on whatever-that-show-was-that-TRL-essentially-is-now was really entertaining, if only for the stunned wtf? of the people in the crowd, who couldn't figure out how to dance to the parts in 6/4.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 22 July 2004 14:01 (twenty-one years ago)

Dancing in 6/4 can be done, but it helps if one is having a seizure.

― Johnny Fever (johnny fever), Thursday, 22 July 2004 14:03 (twenty-one years ago)

Mike Patton's lyrics are too fucked up anyway for them to have been super international mega major SHOOPAHSHTAHZ!. I mean, for fuck's sake, they had songs with titles like "JIZZLOBBER".

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 22 July 2004 14:08 (twenty-one years ago)

yeah, that Patton was a lyrical genius.

You Want It All
But You Can't Have It
It's In Your Face
But You Can't Grab It

Genius stuff, man.

― KimberIy, Thursday, 22 July 2004 14:38 (twenty-one years ago)

This is a joke, right?!?

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Thursday, 22 July 2004 14:40 (twenty-one years ago)

Yes, Alex in SF, Mike Patton's lyrical 'talent' is a fucking joke.

― KimberIy, Thursday, 22 July 2004 14:50 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh good.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Thursday, 22 July 2004 14:55 (twenty-one years ago)

dude he was like 18. everyone knows he got good around the time of Angel Dust. seriously.

― Sir Chaki McBeer III (chaki), Thursday, 22 July 2004 18:03 (twenty-one years ago)

no chaki, clearly we are all ignorant dipshits who shouldnt be on the intarweb and should be busy burning all of our fnm cds and tapes.

― bill stevens (bscrubbins), Thursday, 22 July 2004 18:32 (twenty-one years ago)

Mike Patton has written lyrics in seven languages.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 22 July 2004 18:34 (twenty-one years ago)

FWIW

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 22 July 2004 18:34 (twenty-one years ago)

Geordie Walker of Killing Joke briefly toyed with the idea of joining FNM after Jim Martin left. Then wisely thought better of it.
