@Ice Hockey is Pretty Pretty Good Its perfectly fine to have bands that do the same style of music their whole career. Its also okay to have other bands who like to evolve, change there sound and experiment. I also like some bands who are still doing the same thing 40 years later. Like Depeche Mode. To me they dont really sound much different to their early work and i still absolutely love them. There are also bands i dont listen to anymore because their sound changed into something i didnt like as much as their original sound. I loved Coldplay's first two albums. I really dont like their sound today. They were more downbeat to start with.
It's a shame that most folks only know the song epic and stopped there and I was one of them. A year ago a listened to the the real thing and Epic isn't even the best song on that album. Since then I've had TRT,AD,KFAD,SI and AOTY on rotation almost every day and Mike Patton has become my favourite vocalist of all time, the guy is an enigma and a bona fide genius!
Korn also. All three bands I'm set for good. I love rhythm based bands. Korn the heavy metsl hip hop drum style, Deftones is the two dimensional band with a beautiful haunting side and a crazy wicked side, and FNM very rhythm based and multi dimensional band with many genres blending and singing styles. :)
He gets bored easily. That’s the reason why his bands are so great and has inspired so many good bands. Mike bands are constantly living 10 years in the future. In 1997 Slipknot and Limp Bizkit were recording the first demos that will mark the Millenium in metal music. Me Bungle had done the same 10 years earlier.
Squeeze me Macaroni, slop your face with my bologna.... Yeah, it's hard to understand how Patton could have gone from serious, deep lyrics like that to Be Aggressive. It's just so outside of something he would do.
Most people rank him higher than that. And he definitely has the largest vocal range of any singer in rock n roll VS all singers, comparing all studio recordings. He is without a doubt the most versatile singer in the history of rock music, based on all of his projects.
It used to amuse me when be Aggressive came out, as it was regularly played on daytime Radio One (one of probably the top two most popular radio stations in the UK), when I knew it was about gay oral sex and they missed it, despite the lyrics being pretty obvious once you know...
@@springbloom5940 Patton said to Circus magazine that he wrote it about sexual frustration. So what you wrote is the product of your own mind. Seek help!
@@andrew7taylor Taken from the Faith No More FAQ: Be Aggressive Roddy, who came out in 1992, wrote the lyrics to this song. Roddy, when asked what the song was about in a 1992 interview for "The Advocate," replied "Swallowing. It was a pretty fun thing to write, knowing that Mike was going to have to put himself on the line and go up onstage and sing these vocals."
I'm not familiar with Faith No More's material to form a decent opinion, but I have a bootleg of Naked City (John Zorn) with Mike Patton performing with them. I can't think of another singer who would have the chops, imagination, and balls to stand on the stage with those monsters. I never liked his voice on Epic, but I know he's capable of a lot of range, so I imagine I would like at least some of it a lot. I Gave FNM a lot of credit for covering Easy. You'd never expect that one from the Chili Peppers or Pearl Jam.
His voice was a higher octave in most of The Real Thing but his range changed as they produced more music..he just has a wide vocal range. Helpless shows how deeply he can croon... and that's just one example. Midlife Crisis still has him using the higher pitch but Last Cup of Sorrow, Evidence, Ashes to Ashes etc shows another side.
im a massive patton fan but I never ever liked real thing because of his weird nasally voice in that. but everything after 1992 has been great. i really wish they re-did real thing without the nasal vocals. the live gigs where they play some of the songs from that album are so much better in 2009-2010 with pattons matured voice
i had a friend who hated that song. he was also homophobic. i guess i never read the lyrics but it seems he certainly did. now it makes a little more sense.
Mike Patton would sing about anything. He didn't care about his dignity when it came to vocals or anything. I guess that would've taken a lot of guts to do that.
He's got phenomenal range, definitely, but Layne Staley could do things with his vocals that I don't think anybody could top. He'll always be my favourite of all time. I've been a fan of FNM since The Real Thing was released but Layne's my God and is the best at what he does
@@nelliesilvers1210 I think i remember "talking" with you in other videos, if i'm not mistaken!! Can't remember where,but i do remember your name and picture,almost for sure!!

Not labelling yourself doesn't mean anything in itself. Patton just delighted in fucking with people he didn't like, and refused to be quiet just to make the maximum amount of money for the label. American rock and hip-hop were extremely homophobic at this time, and it was a big deal because Patton was expressly saying, "If you've got a problem with this, I don't want you listening to my bands". A big reason why this attitude isn't a big deal now is because of artists like him taking that approach when it was a big deal.
@@jaschh True, and props to Mike for singing about a perspective totally outside of his own, but Rob was singing about his own experiences and life at a time that could have destroyed his career. IMO it took way more guts for Rob to pen the lyrics for Raw Deal and sing them then it did for Mike to sing Be Aggressive.
@@klauswigsmith For sure, but I think that with Mike it was more of a "I don't give a shit what people think abut me" mentality, because a lot of singers couldn't d0 it, because of the potencial judgement thed would've recieved. And also when it comes to Raw Deal, the lyrics aren't that upfront about the subject matter, when in Be Aggressive he literally screams "I swallow" and "I will take it on my knees".
ha ha... Roddy wrote the lyrics, Patton sang them. Roddy was the first out gay man in a heavy rock band. Patton was open and confident enough to, as a straight man, sing the song.
Whether he quit or got fired the reason was they cut most of his solos out of angel dust in production. Which was stupid because he sounds great on angel dust. On the Mr Bungle album Disco Volante there is a song making fun of him, where Patton sings "They kicked me out of the band." and "I didn't get to play on it at all" and there's like a chorus of "waawaaawaaaa. Waaa wwaa Waaa Waaa waa waa waa waa" like he's crying
@@fairweatherfriends. they wanted to get rid of Jim Martin so hard during the recording of Angel Dust that there's barely any guitar solos in that album, there's even one song with a bass solo in the middle where it was supposed to be a guitar solo in.

Not at all. Martin quit or got kicked out because in production they cut almost all of his solos out of angel dust, as well as a lot of the leads and riffs he had written. And that was just in the pursuit of making a better album. It's was kind kf stupid of Martin because he is all over that album and he sounds great.

Haha, at first I was like "HOW could someone shouting I SWALLOW, I SWALLOW, I SWALLOW, I SWALLOW repeatedly throughout a song go over anyone's head?". Then I saw your next comment. :P
This man has found the key to Mike Patton : "...he gets bored easily..." , this explains pretty much everything Mike has ever done public.
100% A man/woman who is not open to new ideas cannot grow.
I think it means he has a short attention span. That would explain the collage ethos of much of his music. Which I find ultimately very boring.
