Gawd I can't wait for the US tour!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[buaawwww]

God willing there WILL be a US tour... right now there is nothing set and they have done like zero press.
Funny seeing this as I just finished listening to "Album Of The Year" at work.  "Angel Dust" is their masterwork, but "AOTY" is VASTLY underrated!!!

I've always preferred Mr. Bungle to Faith No More.  The rest of his catalog is well over my head.

Saw them live on the Angel Dust tour @ Brixton Academy in London, excellent show!

Apparently he voices one of the new Transformers in the new movie...

Nice!!!  I actually saw them at some out of the way place in Rhode Island on the Angel Dust tour.  I remember being up in the front and pressed against the railing... tried to crowd float out of there... and I guess a bouncer thought I was unruly and he yanked me back and bodyslammed me to the ground in front of the stage.  I remember laying on the ground for a second and looking up and had the barrier holding the crowd back to my left... and Mike Patton above me to the right singing "Caffeine".  It was a great moment... until the pain kicked in... LOL.

Ah... good times.  What a band. ;D

Mike has TONS of vocal range and FNM broke so much ground for so many other bands who came in their wake there is no denying their indelible stamp on music, I just wish Jim Martin would come back to the reunion.

Rgarding that Angel Dust tour mentioned here--as I recall Helmet opened up for them (at least at the venue I was at).  Holy CRAP what a sonic delight that night was!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I thought his latest project was the Italian language songs....

This is great. Is there gonna be a CD?

[pawpaw]

MMJ Fanatic, I couldn't agree with you more! I can't see the links, but I don't need to...I've said it on this forum before, but Patton is one of my rock heros.

Here's his record label, where you can find his new project and other goodies: http://www.ipecac.com/
