Mike Patton is one of the most ingenious musicians of all time. Extremely versatile, accomplished singer. The man can sing virtually anything, and he's got an unmatched wit that demands your attention.
I highly recommend Evidence by Faith No More. It's truly a beautiful song and you'll really hear Mike's full vocal range. He gets away from the "Major Payne" voice 😄
I agree with the first part of what you said. Mike's voice, his command of his voice, the timbre of his voice that he chooses to show, is WORLDS above Maynard's skinny ass.
@@JohnnyBNerdydoesn't mean he has a nice voice. He actually has one of the most unpleasant singing voices in rock music. I appreciate him and I've been listening to Faith no more for 30 years and I like a lot of their songs, but I don't think he has a nice singing voice.
He plays with his vocals for sure- ‘Easy’ on Angel Dust is his most straight forward classical singing- and he hits it dead on- shout out to Lionel Richie and the Commodores
'We care a lot' is a classic FNM song and their most well known song up until Mike Patton joined in 88. Chuck Mosley was the vocalist on this track. Strongly recommend.
A lot of great FNM tracks were already recommended in the comments, two I didn't see are 'Digging the Grave' and 'Evidence', both fantastic tracks in completely different ways. The first one is a fast-driven guitar-dominated killer song, the other one is smooth as hell and probably one of Patton's finest R&B renditions I know (and it has one of the coolest basslines in their catalogue, too).
the bassline of evidence is so sick. king for a day is such a great album. pretty sure it was mr. bungle's guitarist on this one? and digging the grave is one of the only times I know of that Roddy straps on a guitar and doesn't touch the keys...?
It probably comes down to when you discovered him, for me it was on Angel Dust, so going backwards to The Real Thing, I was like "wtf is this nasal sound"? But then I love Fantomas, which some other people cannot stand, so there you go.
His vocals almost ruin this album for me. It's hard to listen to or take seriously. I can only assume it's because the songs were already written / being recorded when he joined and were too high for him.. if anyone knows differently, let me know.
@@TerribleEnglish yes, the music was done, he had 2 or 3 weeks to write his lyrics then record. Matt Wallace (producer) says he tried to talk Patton out of the nasal vocal approach, but Patton insisted upon it. Hope that helps.
@@mediacopycatkillers Thanks, yep. Maybe he just felt like it suited the songs, or maybe there was another reason - doing an impression of someone else or something. He does do a lot of Anthony Keidis - style dance moves in the Epic video.. who knows.
Im 43 and have been a huge music fan of many genres since my early teens and imo Mike Patton is the greatest singer ive ever heard. His versatility is unmatched. The dude can go from insane screaming in songs like Another Body Murdered and Cuckoo for Caca to doing opera albums in Italian with a full orchestra
One of the most absolute important bands of the last 40 years. Their influence is beyond measure. Patton was literally 18y/o on this album and his voice wasn’t even fully developed as an adult.
He sang nasal on this album out of spite because the album was basically finished when he came to record vocals on it and they didn't give him any artistic freedom.
Faith No More was in essence the 1st rap-metal band, but they also had elements of another genres in their songs, making them initially tagged as an alt-metal band. They did their best to ultimately defy categorization.
I really like that you haven't given up on them. My personal favorites are "from out of nowhere", and "ashes to ashes". The first one you'll think is OK, the second one, you're going to love.
After you listen to more Faith No More, you come to realize and love how Mike Patton does anything and everything with his voice. Yes, comedy is regularly a theme in FNM songs and I really look forward to it when I listen to their albums!
Mike Patton is on another level. He has loads of talent. He's a natural. But he developed that talent to near perfection. One of my all time favorite vocalists. Unique.
When Patton replaced Chuck I really thought it was a mistake. I know he was very young but I really thought that the band had recruited a Kiedis impersonator..... but I saw them on this tour, and he was very charismatic, and energetic. He's obviously grown into a mature musician in the last 30+ years
I personally feel he was trying to bring the Mosely vibe on this album with his voice. hard to take over such a unique front man's spot and not alienate people.
I LOVE that you guys did this. I rewatched the movie Black Hawk Down for the first time in decades last month and this was on the soundtrack. Been bumping it on my playlist for a few weeks now, then you drop this today! Love it
Mike Bordin and Billy Gould are such an amazing rhythm section. Wherever Mike Patton goes, he’s going to have an unshakeable foundation from those guys.
one of my favourite bands. so glad you are reacting to them. Everythings ruined is my favourite track of theres and zombie eaters is a close second. You'll love them. Great band
Im sure its been mentioned at one time or another, but their version of "War Pigs" by Black Sabbath is one of the very best covers if any song anywhere period. You need to check it out
FNM isn't a band you can take too seriously or you'll miss the plot altogether. Patton is really great at capturing the lighthearted and often nonsensical themes with the band with his vocals and tonality. Good review guys!
This voice is only on this album. His first with the band. It’s almost like a direction the band wanted to go with him with this voice. Angel dust, and subsequent albums, it’s totally different.
This is one of my top 5 FNM songs. I always loved the intro with the bass and the shimmering piano fading in. Makes me feel like im inside a snowglobe. Catchy, light, and proof that this weird band could really party if they wanted. The song was iconically used in Black Hawk Down. And when i first started listening to them i preferred the nasal style of Patton to their later years (i like it all equally now) so my next rexommendations would be Everythings Ruined or A Small Victory after this.
I'd love to see you guys do Faith's song "Evidence." Groovy as hell and a completely different vocal experience than anything you've heard from Mike so far
Patton is a god.🤘🤘 I think on this album, he was trying to give us Chuck Mosely via Patton. Angel Dust and beyond he opens up his range. he still sneers and is super sarcastic sometimes, but his register is much deeper. he's also an amazing lyricist. the song Epic revolves around the word "it". just ridiculous stuff. glad you also hear the brilliance of Billy Gould on the bass. these guyz are absolutely in my top 5 for life.🤘🤘
I love this song when it feels like my life is falling to pieces. I listen to this shit in my headphones and go for a walk and it makes me strut, dance, and sing like I’m in a music video. Shit has saved me when I’ve been down AF. Faith No More man 🖤🤘🏽
It is a fun song despite the lyrics are about someone having a nervous breakdown. This is one of my favorite songs on the album. I do like the following verse "Because the plot thickens every day, And the pieces of my puzzle keep crumbling away, But I know there's a picture beneath".
Not only the voice is amazing - the man is/was Handsome AF like a hollywood actor from the 50's ! With a slick black hair and a bad boy look in his eyes ! I had a crush for sure ! :))))
Mike Patton, the man of a thousand voices. When all is said and done he will go down, objectively, as the greatest singer in popular music. The range, the natural effects, the noises he can mimic/replicate, near limitless vocal talent. You wont hear another singer who has a track record of Operatic Tenor, Hardcore growls, beat boxing, a voice on a near 7 Octave range; all on like 5 different albums recorded within 5 years of each other, its insane
It's funny watching you guys listen to a lot of the stuff I grew up enjoying and then after not hearing some of it for years, often I hear your critiques and totally agree. Like with this song and Mike's silly Cameo stylings (which I laugh at now but still get a kick out of it). Anyway, keep up the great work!
A similar band that needs some love is Mordred, who blended thrash, funk and hip-hop. "Falling Away" and "Esse Quam Videri" from "In This Life" (1991) are both splendid songs in the vein of Faith No More. ;)
Every song on this album kicks ass, and I guarantee if you listen to it multiple times you will fall in love with Mike Patton's voice. His versatility phenomenal as you will hear with each song.
If you pay attention, this is playing during the move out scene in Black Hawk Down (not long enough to feature lyrics, but the beat & keyboard are undeniable)
Their album titled ALBUM OF THE YEAR is my fave of theirs. Tracks like Collision, Stripsearch and Helpless are my faves from that album. Ashes to Ashes is from that album, too. Faith No More has a good cover of the Commodores track Easy, as well.
Mike Patton has a 6 octave range...that is a very small and elite group. That is to say, Patton can be included when talking about some of the most talented singers in the world of any genre.
This album is a masterpiece. It has everything and still holds up almost 35 years later.
Listened today and i bought it when it came out. It still sounds fresh.
Yup!
Highly influential too!!!
IT IS NOT ALMOST 35 YEARS - I CAN'T HEAR YOU - BLA BLA BLA BLA.
Damn it! It's crazy it's been that long. *sigh*
Such a great album.
This is one of those rare CD's you buy for the big song and then discover the whole thing is awesome.
"Everything is Ruined" is another stellar song from this great band.
MAYBE my favorite FNM song. A lot to choose from. Can't go wrong on Angel Dust honestly.
Seconded! "Everything is Ruined" is the jam, and one of FnM's better songs lyrically too.
One of my favorites from them, top 5 for sure
Great song.
THIS! The way that song was written is superb and the quality is above most.
Mike Patton is one of the most ingenious musicians of all time. Extremely versatile, accomplished singer. The man can sing virtually anything, and he's got an unmatched wit that demands your attention.
I was still blown away when I first heard Mr. Bungle California...
yes! his lyrical cleverness is so often over looked!!
And he is also fluent in Italian. He has performed entire concerts in Italia. Super talented
@@jeffreyglenellen1188His Mondo Cane album is fantastic!
EVIDENCE. That song is SO smooth and really shows Mike's vocal skills and it's so groovy and smooth.
Absolutely, also stripsearch is a smooth one
Last cup of sorrow is a killer song by faith no more. That one would definitely be Playlist. Shit is fire
Last Cup of Sorrow and Digging the Grave are right up their alley.
my favorite of theirs
Hands down my favorite song of theirs. Never get tired of it.
Mine is “last cup of sorrow” …love that song!!
Mine too.
Ryan nailed it when he said it was a feel-good song
I highly recommend Evidence by Faith No More. It's truly a beautiful song and you'll really hear Mike's full vocal range. He gets away from the "Major Payne" voice 😄
Yes! They are gonna think it is a completely different band
I concur… Evidence is a must listen at this point!
Agreed
I was going to comment for Evidence as well, I think it's the obvious choice
Such a sick song
Midlife crisis, Caffeine, The gentle art of making enemies, they've so many great songs
Patton has such a command of his voice, that he is, like Maynard Keenan, almost another instrument instead of just singing over the top of the music
That's a 10 4
I agree with the first part of what you said. Mike's voice, his command of his voice, the timbre of his voice that he chooses to show, is WORLDS above Maynard's skinny ass.
@@bvaughan3862lmao
The bass line on this song is one of my favorites.
Check out their cover of "Easy", it's soo so good. Mike's voice slays on that one.
Seconded; Mike Patton is considered one of the most (if not THE) versatile singers, with a six octave range
@@JohnnyBNerdydoesn't mean he has a nice voice. He actually has one of the most unpleasant singing voices in rock music. I appreciate him and I've been listening to Faith no more for 30 years and I like a lot of their songs, but I don't think he has a nice singing voice.
@@flipjupiter1 Booo
@flipjupiter5077 have you ever heard Fantomas?
@@faust13301 lol awesome
He plays with his vocals for sure- ‘Easy’ on Angel Dust is his most straight forward classical singing- and he hits it dead on- shout out to Lionel Richie and the Commodores
The twisted genius that is Mike Patton. Nobody understands it, but trust me, his crazy voices stick in your head. He knows what he's doing.
angel dust is their masterwork
'We care a lot' is a classic FNM song and their most well known song up until Mike Patton joined in 88. Chuck Mosley was the vocalist on this track. Strongly recommend.
I'm so glad somebody else noticed the bassist was going OFF in this song! Those fills give me chills.
King For A Day is a song that I think you guys may enjoy from FNM. It's one of my top 3 favorites from them.
That entire album is criminally underrated.
Agreed - great song, but that bass in this song, damn
An incredible song.. so smooth.
That, or Just A Man, it's impossible to hear that song and not feel happy.
man i used to jam the life out of this album in the early 90s. I still love faith no more.
Me too! And the Angel Dust album!
:-) Same here. And "Live at Brixton Academy". What a time.
"Zombie Eaters" and "The real thing" from the same album are killers! The whole album is top notch.
I feel like no one ever mentions The Cowboy Song. That song is so damn good. Definitely give it a listen!
Incredible song
You take the elevator to the top, and next thing you know, there you are standing on the edge.
Jim Martins best
They do a really excellent cover of War Pigs on this album
Yeah, it's killer! 🤘🏻
A lot of great FNM tracks were already recommended in the comments, two I didn't see are 'Digging the Grave' and 'Evidence', both fantastic tracks in completely different ways.

George and Ryan would love evidence. Digging the grave is a banger too. I loved king for a day and album of the year.
So bizarre hearing people say they don't like Mike's vocals! He was very nasally on this record to be fair, but he's a killer vocalist!
It probably comes down to when you discovered him, for me it was on Angel Dust, so going backwards to The Real Thing, I was like "wtf is this nasal sound"? But then I love Fantomas, which some other people cannot stand, so there you go.
That's sort of the buzz kill vibe of this channel.
Not liking this or not liking that.

My favorite song by them!!! Actually blasted it earlier cruising through town with the doors & top off the Jeep 🤘🏼
I wore this album out back in the day. Great bassist and drummer. The keyboardist and guitarist are awesome also.
Im 43 and have been a huge music fan of many genres since my early teens and imo Mike Patton is the greatest singer ive ever heard. His versatility is unmatched. The dude can go from insane screaming in songs like Another Body Murdered and Cuckoo for Caca to doing opera albums in Italian with a full orchestra
I LOVE this song in the movie "Black Hawk Down". Great scene. Gets you pumped up.
One of the most absolute important bands of the last 40 years. Their influence is beyond measure.
Patton was literally 18y/o on this album and his voice wasn’t even fully developed as an adult.
He was 21. And even in 92-93 on live versions I hear how young his voice
@@Женщина-кошка-ж8э technically, 20 years old when he recorded it.
He sang nasal on this album out of spite because the album was basically finished when he came to record vocals on it and they didn't give him any artistic freedom.

You guys need to hear Mike Patton and Faith No More do the Commodores song "Easy".
I saw them on this tour. BALLER!! Mike "Puffy" Bordin has one of the pockets in the biz.
My favourite song off this album and the whole album is awesome.
After you listen to more Faith No More, you come to realize and love how Mike Patton does anything and everything with his voice. Yes, comedy is regularly a theme in FNM songs and I really look forward to it when I listen to their albums!

Lol you should check some patton work besides faith no more
Beautiful band, and their best lineup
Faith No More - Surprise You're Dead is the greatest track on this album
I saw them play this live in 2009 when they reunited and nothing is more fun than screaming "You're Dead!" In a mosh pit with a crowd of thousands.
Revocation does an awesome cover
Zombie Eaters though
I LOVE that you guys did this. I rewatched the movie Black Hawk Down for the first time in decades last month and this was on the soundtrack. Been bumping it on my playlist for a few weeks now, then you drop this today! Love it
Mike Bordin and Billy Gould are such an amazing rhythm section. Wherever Mike Patton goes, he’s going to have an unshakeable foundation from those guys.
I've own a copy of this album since it originally came out, and this has always been my favorite track on it
This song and last cup of Sorrow are my 2 favorite songs from them
Please, you have to do their cover of "Easy". Then you will get how diverse and cool Mike's voice is.
I'm freaking out over the bass line of this song! Faith No More is the best!
one of my favourite bands. so glad you are reacting to them. Everythings ruined is my favourite track of theres and zombie eaters is a close second. You'll love them. Great band
Do the whole album lol. It’s fantastic
Im sure its been mentioned at one time or another, but their version of "War Pigs" by Black Sabbath is one of the very best covers if any song anywhere period. You need to check it out
If you guys are up for more Faith No More, you really should react to "Collision", "Stripsearch", or "Last Cup of Sorrow" from Album of the Year.
Small Victory is their magnum opus, yall aint done till you hear that song
OMG Yes! Someone gets it. That was the track where they completely synthesised all their influences and made something that sounds like nothing else.
That and EVERYTHING'S RUINED
Mike Patton was toying around in this song. His voice is incredible if you listen to some of his other works outside FNM.
FNM isn't a band you can take too seriously or you'll miss the plot altogether. Patton is really great at capturing the lighthearted and often nonsensical themes with the band with his vocals and tonality.
Good review guys!
*point
This voice is only on this album. His first with the band. It’s almost like a direction the band wanted to go with him with this voice.

Bought this album when it first dropped and loved it. 34 years later is still evokes the same emotion.
OMG FINALLY I was requesting this one years ago. Try From Out Of Nowhere from These guys too. You might like that one.
Love it. Now I'm gonna go put on last cup of sorrow
Everything about this song and music video is an absolute punch from the 90's
"Zombie Eaters" and "From Out of Nowhere" still sound fresh. Love this group.
Zombie Eaters! 😭🤘🖤
Zombie Eaters and Easy
@@StevieDrawStuff Easy is one of my favorite cover tunes. It blew me away when I first heard it.
This band was so ahead of its time. I been listening to these guys since my Dad bought their CDs back in 95
This still holds up, love’m!

One of the few albums from that era that is still in my weekly rotation. The entire thing is a masterpiece.

was 17 when this came out. This band is One of the most underrated bands
It is a fun song despite the lyrics are about someone having a nervous breakdown. This is one of my favorite songs on the album. I do like the following verse "Because the plot thickens every day, And the pieces of my puzzle keep crumbling away, But I know there's a picture beneath".
This my favorite song from them.
FNM are icons that only the ones with ears to hear will appreciate! Cheers fam!
Saw them live. Incredible musicianship and Patton is a vocalmeister! Style range and power, he can handle almost any vocals.
Great reaction guys 🔥
Not only the voice is amazing - the man is/was Handsome AF like a hollywood actor from the 50's ! With a slick black hair and a bad boy look in his eyes ! I had a crush for sure ! :))))
My favorite band !!!!!
Hands down, my favorite band of all time!
Nice reaction. I appreciate how you let the music play a bit longer than usual before reacting. Keep up the great work.
Really like how layered this song is and how it builds
Also my kids love this song lol
That whole album is a masterpiece
Mike Patton, the man of a thousand voices.
When all is said and done he will go down, objectively, as the greatest singer in popular music. The range, the natural effects, the noises he can mimic/replicate, near limitless vocal talent.
You wont hear another singer who has a track record of Operatic Tenor, Hardcore growls, beat boxing, a voice on a near 7 Octave range; all on like 5 different albums recorded within 5 years of each other, its insane
It's funny watching you guys listen to a lot of the stuff I grew up enjoying and then after not hearing some of it for years, often I hear your critiques and totally agree. Like with this song and Mike's silly Cameo stylings (which I laugh at now but still get a kick out of it).
Anyway, keep up the great work!
Cameo stylings! I can see it.
Y'all should check out their track "Stripsearch." I think you'll dig the vocals more on that one.
Evidence is a good laid-back song almost jazz
A similar band that needs some love is Mordred, who blended thrash, funk and hip-hop. "Falling Away" and "Esse Quam Videri" from "In This Life" (1991) are both splendid songs in the vein of Faith No More. ;)
I continue to love this channel so much. Love every time you guys do FNM. Keep it up, fellas.
You're gonna want to jam 'Evidence' at some point. 100%.
Faith No More that's all you need!!!!
My favorite song. Of ever. Period.
Great album. Play it loud.
Every song on this album kicks ass, and I guarantee if you listen to it multiple times you will fall in love with Mike Patton's voice. His versatility phenomenal as you will hear with each song.
Best rock singer of all time.
You guys still need to hear a song where Patton doesn't use his nasal voice, he just did it in the beginning when he joined the band!
Thanks for doing faith no more I love them. Believe it or not that Lead vocalist is awesome 🔥listen to some more his voice is amazing
One of my top 3 best albums of all time.
Always love this don, its amazinf..
Evidence is a great one! Mike Patton really shines there
If you pay attention, this is playing during the move out scene in Black Hawk Down (not long enough to feature lyrics, but the beat & keyboard are undeniable)

Fun, is the best way to describe this.
Mike Patton has a 6 octave range...that is a very small and elite group. That is to say, Patton can be included when talking about some of the most talented singers in the world of any genre.
Stripsearch from them is a smoothed out r&b cut yall NEED to hear
