Sad to say it i havnt heard any Faith No More, ive heard Mikey Bordin play drums for KoRn when David Silveria is away modelling for nike. Mikey is a mad drummer, his dreads are huge!!!! I will get one of FNM albums soon from a mate, then i will rate one (Y).

I think you mighta been goin a little high on some of those songs, but it is a great album and it really grows on you a lot. It probably is their best album, which is really saying something.

tjrd-there's been a long-running dispute between Patton and Anthony Kiedis over Patton allegedly copying the Chili Pepper's frontman in the video for Epic, and there's been animosity between the two singers ever since. Kiedis tried to get Patton kicked off a festival lineup when he was with Mr. Bungle for that reason.

That's because Anthony Keidis is a Douchebag.

Here's a pretty good summary of the whole thing...

"Based on various interviews with the people involved, it seems to boil down to this: In 1989 Faith No More released an album called "The Real Thing," and several singles from that album for which videos were made. The video for "Epic" became very popular, and Patton was suddenly seen in silly clothing, swinging his long hair around, rapping to Faith No More's funk-metal sound, all over the world. Anthony Kiedis seems to have been oblivious to the fact that this sort of combination of funk, metal, and rap (always accompanied by bad clothing and hair) had been the trend on the West Coast for some time, and wasn't actually invented by his band. Envious of Faith No More's success, and angry that it seemed to have been achieved at least in part due to the wild frontman who he thought had stolen his "moves," he accused Patton of ripping him off in the press. Members of Mr. Bungle responded by gleefully threatening Kiedis with bodily harm in the press. Eventually Patton and Kiedis met in person, were polite to one another, and everyone lost interest.

Many years later, after Faith No More was long gone and the Red Hot Chili Peppers were hugely successful, the release of Mr. Bungle's "California" was pushed back by Warner Bros. so it wouldn't come out at the same time as the Red Hot Chili Pepper's similarly-named "Californication." Then, when Mr. Bungle were asked to play at some European festivals in the Summer of 1999, Kiedis threatened to cancel his band's appearance, and Bungle were dropped. That Halloween, Mr. Bungle retaliated by playing a show in Pontiac, Michigan dressed as the Red Hot Chili Peppers, complete with freqent heroin injections and covers of really bad songs. This resulted in Kiedis having them kicked off of some Australian festivals."

I also have some pretty funny quotes that go with the matter but they won't fit in here.

ive been a huge fan of mr. bungle and fantomas for a while now and i didnt bother buying this until a few days ago. im surprised on how much i missed out. RV and jizzlobber are just awsome.

I've been meaning to get into FNM. I love Midlife Crisis, so I guess this is a good place to start.

This album is amazing. I bought Mr. Bungle S/T before this and was expecting something similar, but I like this album so much better.

Pretty good review for an awesome album. Caffeine is my favorite as of now.

Album Rating: 4.5

Caffeine is probably my favorite along with Crack Hitler and Jizzlobber. It took me forever to like Jizzlobber though.

This album always struck me as a big pile of confusion that I'll never understand why people like...

Album Rating: 4.5

Weird. It took me a really long time to like this CD.

Album Rating: 2.5

I hope I'll like it sumday -_-

I tend to go through phases...it took me a year to finally warm up to The Pixies...

Caffeine is such a sick song.

GRRRR.... TBT REVIEWS.
Not a bad review, but it is good to review the album as a whole, writing more about the overall feel if possible (Theleftside, you said yourself the album is one that is best listened to in one piece)

Album Rating: 4.5

just got done listening to this and The Real Thing for the first time in a long time. i forgot how awesomely creative they are. i cant seem to get into any of their other albums but these two stand out as some of the best albums ever. im sure to rank Angel Dust a 5 soon

Album Rating: 4.5

King For A Day, Fool For A Lifetime is better than The Real Thing imo. Album of The Year was kinda bad, though.

Album Rating: 4.5
