Martin is one of the veeery few guitar players whose sound is unique (and that includes Angus Young, Slash, etc.), and that might last way more than any exquisite technique.
1:55 The bassist of Franz Ferdinand asked an interviewer the EXACT same question in an interview in around 2015 It must be a thing that impacts your answer and you must have to be in a band to understand that question as I have absolutely no idea what difference it makes
I was such a HardCore FNM fan specially in my youth. I saw them WITH (YAY!) Jim Martin In Fresno Ca January 1993. What i liked about FNM is they were all individuals not copying each others looks (except for Bottum mancrushing on Patton) I was blue when they fired em. He brought the metal and couldn't see anyone replacing him. I heard KFAD was a great album but i boycotted it. I came back for AOTY Good, But just not the same. RT and AD my fav albums
It's scary that, at least during the interview, Jim Martin looks exactly like Mike Patton but with a beard and glasses. Could it be true that it is, in fact, Mike? Probably not. But it's fun to imagine yourself that.
Classic !!!! Sick of the 'mtv' interviewer trying to push them into saying Nirvana for almost every question... they worshiped them while other larger more influential bands took a backseat
The interviewer keeps repetitively asking Mike and Jim the same question in a different way, why didn't she just ask "What do you think of the Seattle scene?" Edit: I've just noticed she now has, only took 9 minutes of beating around the bush to mention it
@trickmast Nirvana was groundbreaking in the sense that they brought grunge to mainstream. But you are right about Melvins being originators... Pixies, too.
Ha ha, No shit! Faith No More recruited patton after seeing Mr. Bungle. When the question was asked, "Is there anything new happening in music?" All that Seattle stuff was just rehashed metal, hard rock, and punk mixed around into something, Kinda new. Stuff like Fishbone, and Mr. Bungle for me were the only really new sounding bands about that time. And maybe a lot of that hardcore rap stuff.
@EatPieYes No, but Jim was on the outs with the band at this point... this is right before they broke up... so it would be really funny if Jim just didn't come in that day and Mike put on a fake beard and glasses to do the interview as Jim. That really would be hilarious.
Jim Martin's view on MTV and big record companies forcing music through the industry has become the awful truth. The 90's were the last of MTV's respected days...
She wanted the answer "Nirvana", so she rephrased her question a few times hoping to get it. Jim picked up on this and brought them up just to downplay them. She did the same in Patton's interview, and he did the same thing as Jim. 🤣
I don't know. Ever since I picked up musical instruments I've had the need to play something different from what I've been hearing before. I think Jim was a fairly 'convential' guitarist in terms of his style whilst playing on the albums and live. But sure, he did do some cool things aswell, though I wouldn't call that his main focus.
What kinda processor was he using back there before the interview? (Forgive me if it was already answered). I definitely agree with the guitarist, though. Screw what the trends are! I'd go as far even to say that iTunes is the new MTV!
@yovioleatuzorramadre What? I was just saying that FNM imo, wasn't as good without Jim as they were with him in the band. Basically, FNM with Jim Martin > FNM without Jim Martin.
jim martin was more conventional...not that revolucionary as fnm´s progression!angel dust was the most experimental fnm album since 92 and was precisely that date when he starts feeling more uncomfortable...but no doubt jim were a big performer the band lost a lot with jim martin´s break trought!
This is both funny and annoying at the same time. I am a fan of the "N" band as much as I am a FNM fan but I sort of unterstand the N band's bad reputation caused by all the excessive worshiping that the guys in the N band themselves tried to stop (unsuccessfully). Now people remember the N band like if THEY were the pretentious asshole guys and everyone talks shit about them when it really wasn't their fault, it was the media that created the little monster.
Wow he has so much range in musical taste..."Metallica and Slayer...previously there was Led Zepplin...." Yep that pretty much sums up why he hated making and playing this album and was eventually kicked out of the band. And rightfully so!
Nothing could more perfectly characterize this pumpkin farmer's distance from disco than the statement, "I never really cottoned to it."
joequirk underrated comment
I agree, that man was something special when he played the guitar.
Martin is one of the veeery few guitar players whose sound is unique (and that includes Angus Young, Slash, etc.), and that might last way more than any exquisite technique.
Sad thing is Jim comments to disco dance music.... it’s 20/20 and it never went away. ☹️
I miss big Jim Martin jamming in faith no more!! Those were great days!
shity questions...but he shore did nailed them!! (smart guy...dusted the nirvana thing perfect!)
YES

i laughed my ass to tears towards the end of the interview!but maybe thats just me..FAITH NO MOOOOOREEEEE wish they were still here
also nailed the king's x thing -- what a creative band they ended up being. jim martin is a true artist.
poor jim! he looked so uncomfortable answering those questions.
by saying " dudes Im tired of this band I leave", but that's not what heppened the band told him to leave, so saying he left is wrong, he was fired :)
King's X Gretchen Goes To Nebraska!! Man, how could i have forgotten about that album? I never had my own copy I guess. Great album!!

New on record yes, but bungle had been around since 85.
If you like Bungle, check out Fishbone.

They had to hurry this interview along because Jim was already dressed up for GQ photoshoot
Jim Martin forever!!!
Jims last days in Faith no More how sad

EatPieYes I'm fucking terrified by your comment - I can see it...
gasmaskboi19371945 Watching this four years later and it's still uncanny.
EatPieYes I couldn't physically reply to your comment.
gasmaskboi19371945
Haha I'm sorry man.
EatPieYes It's not your fault, it's RUclips's system of old comments not being able to get replied to.
gasmaskboi19371945
I thought you meant you were so terrified you couldn't reply. That was then a really strange way of putting it.
Ha ha, No shit! Faith No More recruited patton after seeing Mr. Bungle. When the question was asked, "Is there anything new happening in music?"

Patton was with bungle before faith no more
he got hungry
THE REAL THING and ANGEL DUST their best!
some elements from KING FOR A DAY....and ALBUM OF THE YEAR were ok though
hum he was fired he wasn"t fired
Heh heh, Mr. Bungle was new about that time.
i think king for a day is their best. the sheer diversity of songs on that album is amazing
It's so funny. Jim was absolutely right about the music.
@EatPieYes No, but Jim was on the outs with the band at this point... this is right before they broke up... so it would be really funny if Jim just didn't come in that day and Mike put on a fake beard and glasses to do the interview as Jim. That really would be hilarious.
what? KfaD was a superb album.
He's wearing a shirt of "Die toten Hosen", that's pretty sick! :) Check out FABIUZ - FUNERALIVE! ;)
Jim Martin's view on MTV and big record companies forcing music through the industry has become the awful truth. The 90's were the last of MTV's respected days...
Im literally laughing out loud.
what difference does Jim Martin do w/ Guitar than from other Guitarist.
Wow, that was the worst interview ever in terms of asking the same questions.
Great to have this FNM stuff on here though.
How many times is she going to ask the SAME question?? She is so terrible, same with her interview with Mike.
She wanted the answer "Nirvana", so she rephrased her question a few times hoping to get it. Jim picked up on this and brought them up just to downplay them. She did the same in Patton's interview, and he did the same thing as Jim. 🤣
On your statement on the 0:22-1:38 part, literally anyone with some effects will sound like that.
I don't know. Ever since I picked up musical instruments I've had the need to play something different from what I've been hearing before.
I think Jim was a fairly 'convential' guitarist in terms of his style whilst playing on the albums and live. But sure, he did do some cool things aswell, though I wouldn't call that his main focus.
Jim`s like Dimebag or something...=D
@SuperStrik9 *rolls eyes*
Update: it’s 2020 and rock is dead.
What kinda processor was he using back there before the interview? (Forgive me if it was already answered). I definitely agree with the guitarist, though. Screw what the trends are! I'd go as far even to say that iTunes is the new MTV!
@yovioleatuzorramadre What? I was just saying that FNM imo, wasn't as good without Jim as they were with him in the band. Basically, FNM with Jim Martin > FNM without Jim Martin.
He was there for a while after this interview if this was done during angel dust - but yeah - it wasn't the same when he left
he was fired he didn't left got it? :)
When Jim Martin left FNM the band just wasn't the same nor nearly as good.
Would you pay attention!LOL
I meant he didn't left of course... hum (embarassement)
jim martin was more conventional...not that revolucionary as fnm´s progression!angel dust was the most experimental fnm album since 92 and was precisely that date when he starts feeling more uncomfortable...but no doubt jim were a big performer the band lost a lot with jim martin´s break trought!
@trickmast I'm an idiot guy.

The worst part is that Jim got Patton into Faith No More.
Its the jewish Viacom!
Wow he has so much range in musical taste..."Metallica and Slayer...previously there was Led Zepplin...." Yep that pretty much sums up why he hated making and playing this album and was eventually kicked out of the band. And rightfully so!
...hahaha! Just what I thought! DAMN! Now he said the N word!!!!! In that second, hahaha!
No, and then Korn came, and they were shit
