    BTW they are the band that have recently been supporting Metallica in
    the Us.
    
    Flip

I can assume that this is the same band that did "We Care A Lot"? That was a 
great song, and their first album was OK, although nothing special. I haven't 
heard their second - sounds like they improved a lot. They are a Boston band, 
btw.

alan

    
    Yep, that's right, they covered BS's "We care a lot".  They are not
    exactly a boston band.....none of them come from Boston.
    
    Flip

> They are not exactly a boston band.....none of them come from Boston.

Yeah. If I remember correctly, they come from the Midwest somewhere - maybe 
Chicago? But just about when the first album was released, they transplanted 
the whole band to Boston. I met them a few times, and saw them at some of the 
local clubs (Paradise, Rat, etc.). They're pretty cool guys, and I liked them 
more live than on record.

alan

    
    Expect to see alot more of the out of state bands to move into places
    like Boston.  With the total saturation of L.A. , bands have to
    find elsewhere to call home.  I don't think it's wrong at all, and
    if more bands want to come to Boston and they are anything like
    FNM, than I'll even help them move in!
    
    Mr. Ed...true believer in the Boston Music Scene!!

    
    FNM? I love 'em!
    
    I bought Introduce Yourself when it came out about eighteen months
    back. The songs are great, but let down by Chuck Moseley's vocals
    (the guy couldn't hold a note if it had a handle on it).
    
    Moseley was subsequently sacked and a new guy, Mike Patton, was
    brought in. He is one sh!t-hot vocalist.
    
    I saw them at the Marquee a couple of weeks ago - an incredible
    gig, the sound started lousy but was fixed by the third number.
    Patton is not only a great vocalist, he is one hell of a good front
    man - seriously off his head.
    
    This band deserves to be very big indeed. In a time when we are
    bombarded with endless Kiss/Aerosmith/Guns 'n' Ponces clones, we
    need more bands like FNM.

      F.N.M were playing live at our local H.M. club about three weeks
    
      ago.  The only other song I've heard before was "We Care Alot"
    
      but to hear them live and hear a lot more stuff I like them
    
      a LOT!!

    I Agree.  I thought Faith No More is from San Fran.  At any rate,
    the singer on the first FNM record, Introduce Yourself, was great!!
    He really made that record happen.  The new guy is also super.
    I think this is the best band to come along in many many years.
    Original...combining rap and rock.

    Uh-oh...
    I heard a tune by FNM on WBRU this morning... I can't remember
    what it was called... but it sounded VERY much like GREAT
    Funk-rock-slap-as* RHCP-vein music...
    the song was great. If you weren't told it was FNM, you'd think
    it was RHCP, only the song had more emphasis on ROCK than funk,
    but with Anthony Kiedis-style rap vocals, and style.
    
    I'm buying it.
    
    /Motorbreath

I popped the FNM into my cassette deck on the way to work this morning. Only 
got to hear three songs sofar, but I was impressed - these guys are awesome!
All three songs were really original, mixing various influences and styles of 
music. And none of them sounded like each other!

I hear a bunch of different influences - Alice Cooper's flair for the 
dramatic, rap's use rhythm and rhyme, layered production like The Cult's first 
album, lotsa reference points.

I'll post more after I hear the rest, and a few more times......

    Since yesterday I have "The real thing" CD. I've listened it first in
    the evening with the headphones. The first 2 tracks ("Out of nowhere"
    and "Epic") were already in video clip version and knowing them I
    enjoyed to listen easily. But the production (recording especially) is
    not the best. They have much fantasy, potential for a real heavy metal
    band, good vocals and keyboards. They have to precise a little their
    direction. The title track impressed me little because it's too long
    for what it really contain as music. Finally I started to skip within
    the songs and ended the listening with a good but less than expected
    impression. I thought I was tired and checked Titan Force to verify.
    No, I was not tired because I listened twice (also on headphones) Titan
    Force. So it was not the fatigue but Faith No More who tired me.
    I listened again this morning "The real thing" via the loudspeakers and
    it worked much better. They are really good but the CD seems not so
    equal on all  its length. In any case it's interesting to listen.
    "Falling into pieces" (if I remember well) is very good heavy and
    "Zombie eaters" is also one of the bests with the first two tracks.
    Good cover of Black Sabbath's "War pigs".
    I recommend it, but listen before if possible (the video clips have
    done very much for this album).

Faith No More are:

Mike Bordin - Drums
Roddy Bottum - Keyboards
Bill Gould - Bass
Jim Martin - Guitar
Michael Patton - Vocals

The album 'The Real Me' is just blowing me away!!!! This has to be the best 
metal album I've heard since 'Operation:Mindcrime'! 

Seems that most bands build their sound from the guitar up - the guitar are 
the basis for each songs, provide the melody, and push the song along. There 
are exceptions - for example, I think that Queensryche builds from the drums 
up. Its hard to explain, but I think that some of you will know what I mean.
Anyways, Faith No More seems to build there songs from the bass up, which is 
quite unusual (unless you're Yes or somebody like that!). The bass lines are 
real funky, and are pivotal to the arranging of each song. The drums and 
guitars are fairly ordinary, and the vocals are an aquired taste (although 
I've ended up loving them!). But the bass playing is the real cornerstone of 
this band.

Songs of 'The Real Me':

From Out Of Nowhere
Epic
Falling To Pieces
Surprise! You're Dead
Zombie Eaters
Edge Of The World
The Real Thing
Underwater Love
The Morning After
Woodpecker From Mars
War Pigs

I'm only familiar with the first side so far, but I'll comment on this. "From 
Out Of Nowhere", "Falling To Pieces", and "Surprise! You're Dead" are the 
closest to heavy metal, but they also have a tinge of funk thrown in. "Epic" 
is a cool rap song, with a pop chorus. These early songs remind me most of 
Blue Oyster Cult, if you're looking for a comparison, but they really should 
stand on their own. "Zombie Eaters", despite its wierd name, is mostly a 
mellow tune - there's a bit of metal in the middle, but its pretty melodic.
And "Edge of the World" is a total change - its sort of cocktail piano/pop 
(sort of like Joe Jackson's 'Night Out' album), and quite a beautiful song!

I haven't really listened to the second side that much yet, but their version 
of "War Pigs" is pretty cool (although maybe a bit too much like the original 
- its almost note-for-note). 

This album isn't for everyone. But if you like your metal a little different 
from the mainstream, and with a bit of funk to it, check this out! I don't 
think you'll be disappointed!

    I saw FNM live on Friday night and they were brilliant - the energy
    they had live was fantastic. They did ALL the songs on "The Real
    Thing" as well as stuff from "Introduce Yourself" and "We Care a lot"
    (including the exellent single of the same name).
                                          
    The most energetic gig I've ever seen.

    I was at the same gig as tony - in fact, he had the nerve to stand
    in front of me!!!!  Blocking my view of Michael patton!!!  It was
    the best concert I've been to in years!
    
    Alan - The Real Thing *is* the best HM album of all time!!!!
    
    Mike - if you haven't seen them yet, they have as much energy as
    RHCP!
    
    During their last encore, Mike Patton came on wearing just a bath
    robe and a HUGE strap on d*ck, which he procede to swing around
    whilst singing I'm easy like sunday morning!  They have a tendency
    to breack in pop/rap tracks halfway through theirown tunes - like
    Pump the Jam!  They are hilarious!
    
    Flip

    I have The Real Thing, and it's great.
    I've also seen their vid for Epic.
    Michael Patton STEALS MUCH of his stage act from Anthony Kiedis
    (RHCP). I'm not picking nits... you can't be much more unique
    than Anthony, and Patton blatantly rips off Anthony's goofy
    faces, hand movements and jumping around..
    BUT 
    	You can't say this band isn't original!! The song EPIC has
    Patton funk-rapping exactly like Anthony, but it's a 
    phenomenal song. Also Zombie Eaters has to be my favorite track.
    
    	The guitarist for this band used to play in a band with
    Cliff Burton... maybe that's where they got the Metallica 
    connection.
    
    /Motorbreath

    Nah...
    	I like "Surprise! You're Dead!" better than Zombie Eaters.
    Ripping tune!
    
    /Motorbreath

    Surprise your dead is an awesome track - I love the lyrics:
    
    	It's not over yet, you don't remember I won't let you forget.
    	The Hatred I bestowed, upon your neck with a fatal blow.
    	From my teeth and my tongue, I drank and swallowed but it's
    	just begun.
    	Now you are mine, I'll keep killing you til the end of time.
    
    	Surprise!  You're Dead!  Guess what?  It never ends.....
    
    	The pain, the torment, the torture, profanity.
    	Nausea, suffering, perversion, calamity.
        You can't get away!
    
    EXCELLENT!
    
    Mike, check out Introduce yourself - it has some great tracks on
    it although the Chuck Mosely is singing.  I prefer Michael Patton's
    vocals.

    FNM's new single in the UK will be Falling to Pieces - the flip
    side will be We care alot (live at the Brixton Academy).
       
    They will also be releasing a video of the Brixton gig called You
    Fat B@st@rd.
    
    Mr Bungle (Mike Patton's other band) have an lp/ep called OU818.
    
    
    Cheers, Philippa

	Any idea when the vid. is out?

	Ian.

    
    Sorry, I have no definite release date, I only received the
    announcement.  I'll let you know as soon as I hear.
    
    I think the vid is only being released the UK.
    
    Cheers, Flip

    Nope, they're not doing another tour of the UK this year....they
    play Reading rock festival and then are doing some festivals in
    Germany and the Netherlands.  They'll be starting on their new album
    at the end of the summer.

    Reading Festival Friday.
    
    FNM appear on stage just moments before darkness falls and lurch into
    From Out Of Nowhere with the usual sound problems that seem to spoil
    that song everywhere they play.
    
    For the next hour and 10 minutes the only place worth being in the
    whole of England is down the front at Reading .  Arms and legs flail
    wildly as the band reel out a virtually unchanged set and a kilted
    patton bounces around pulling faces - but thankfully he avoids the
    silly voices that ruined Surprise You're Dead and a few others at
    Brixton.
    
    No doubt you'll hear reports of how the sound wasn't quite up to
    scratch and how the band could do with writing soome more tunes, but if
    you were one of the shitfaced thousands chanting "You Fat Bastard!",
    you'll know this doesn't matter.
    
    My only complaint is that FNM get you all fired up and ready to party,
    thn open their encore with Easy Like Sunday Morning.  But even Building
    Society adverts can be excused when they break into War Pigs and Patton
    sings, "Generals gather in their masses, just like me they hate Black
    Sabbath", before disappearing up the scaffolding like a monkey (nice
    view up his kilt! Flip) with a firework up his arse.
    
    Only death can stop FNM now, and even that would have a hard time.
    
    Flip

	I think Faith No More is a really cool group.
	Did anyone see there new video on Mtv ..  It's believe the 
	video is for "Falling to Pieces".  It's not a bad song 
	(not my favorite song by FNM.  I thought that "From Out of 
	No Where" was a better song, but it never became popular).
	The new video is really strange though.  They show exploding
	fish, Micheal Patton with no skin, and dogs and cats with huge
	eyes running around..  It's a pretty good vid definitely 
	different from what other group are doing.

   good I suggest you keep you eyes open for it..

    Finally got to see FNM "falling to pieces" video.  Great, of course!!
    I was disappointed because the fish that exploded weren't real. (just
    kidding).  Real funky video!!  They were having some thing like dial
    in to see which video is better type deal and they had this one against
    the QR vid.  Did anyone see who won??  I was flipping the channel
    around a bit and didn't catch it.

Caught Faith No More as the opening act for Billy Idol last Saturday night
at Great Woods. They were awesome!!!!

They opened with "From Out Of Nowhere", right into "Falling To Pieves". They 
seemed to almost all of the new album, including "Epic", "Suprise, You're 
Dead", and "Edge Of The World". The only thing I wish they would have done
that they skipped was "Zombie Eaters", but that's no big deal.

The covers were a riot - they did the Nestle's commercial - the one that goes
"creamy white......". Too much! And when they came out, Mike says "OK, we're 
gonna play that cover that you've all been hearing so much about. Its a 
death-metal song, by the band Slayer". And then they proceeded to play The
Commodores "I'm Easy", complete with full harmonies and a note-for-note solo!

Mike Patton is out of control onstage! He's a riot to watch! I realized how 
ordinary a guitarist Jim Martin is, but that's ok 'cause it fits the band.
The bass player, Bill Gould, seemed to be the best musician on the stage,
and the other guys were pretty tight also (the keyboard player reminded me
of Jon Lord, the way he was rockin'!).

BTW, for you guitarists - Jim Martin was playing through a Boogie head, into
Boogie power amps, into (3) Marshall 4x12 stacks. And while I'm at it, the new
guitarist for Billy Idol played through Marshall heads into (1) Marshall 4x12
and (3) Marshall 4x10s. (And it was pretty funny, because he was playing a 
Steve Stevens model Hamer!)

alan

    
    Thought I might mention this...my friend Bill who used to work at the
    9:30 Club in D.C. (and has roadied for FNM) met them down when they
    backed up Billy Idol. He and a friend had backstage passes. Since
    they had met before, they talked a good bit with the band and Mike
    Patton went into Boston with them to see Dread Zeppelin. It was
    late when they got back to Mike's hotel so he let them stay there!
    I would have been with them but they could only get two passes.
    
    Bummer!
    
    /prc

    
    FNM had to pull out of the European monsters of rock tour because
    Michael Patton insulted both Poison and Aerosmith off the stage...they
    were allowed to play the next gig where he had to make an officiall
    apology and were then removed from the line up.
    
    Flip

    Wow!  I wonder what he said that could have been that bad?!

    Michael Patton, responding to a question about lip-synching and
    taped music at live shows, said that both bands used taped 
    music, and that Poison had a keyboardist offstage that ran their
    tapes.
    
    /Motorbreath

    !!!
    
    Its probably true!

    re.50
    It is! Poison's management admitted to having the keyboardist
    offstage, but said all vocals were real.
    
    /M

    After working at the Centrum for the past 3 years I pick up on the
    tricks of the music world... Keyboards are used very frequently by
    bands that you would never think of. Most of them are hidden from the 
    crowds. One of these bands being Iron Maiden. 
    

    
    Well amongst other things, he said "which member of Poison can suck his
    own d*ck?" and then he called Aerosmith "a bunch of old men".

    Agagagagaga!

Re -2  But they are...

By the way, which member of Poison can suck his own d*ck?



GAZ who-is-relatively-young-at-37..


P.S  If the video for 'Take me to the other side' is to be believed, even 
     Aerosmith think that they are old men.

    
    from an article on Billy Idol in concert, from Rolling Stone magazine
    (FNM opened - New Jersey)
    
    ...Faith No More turned in an admirable set, and it couldn't have been
    easy.  The band was crowded onto the lip of the stage to make room for
    Idol's equipment and played to an audience made up largely of MTV pod
    people - most of whom remained rooted to their seats until they heard
    the opening strains of "Epic."  Despite this, Faith No More refused to
    be intimidated.  Ringleader Mike Patton carried on in typical fashion,
    hanging off the edge of the stage and baiting the crowd with New Jersey
    slurs, and, in the evening's most interesting moment, asked a
    prepubescent girl - with Dad in tow - if she'd ever seen a grown man
    naked.  "Wanna come up and sing a song with me?"  Patton asked, to mend
    fences.  "Come on, I'm not gonna hurt ya."
    
    He seemed genuinely perplexed when she declined.

    YEY!

     Did anybody catch these guys on Sat. Nite Live. I think these guys
    decide they wanted to do something that people would remember them by.
    The lead singer was all over the place. Does he always act like this?
    The music sounded pretty good. As a matter of fact I borrowed their
    tape and checked it out. These guys sounded even better on tape. I'm
    impressed. BTW I wonder who does the singers hair-trip.
    		The KER(who is working on a killer bootleg video)

    Yes, Mike Patton always leaps around on stage/in the crowd like 
    that - he nicked those moves from Anthony Kiedis.  
    
    BTW, they already have a live video out called "You fat b*stards".  It
    was recorded at Brixton Academy in the UK.

    As a drummer, I can say this. This guy DOES pound! He hits hard and
    heavy and that's great, but he also has good dynamics too. He knows
    when to kill and when not to. I like his style, he's clean 
    and solid, not a speedomatic... and he's a madman!

    > and he's a madman!
    
    Aren't they all!  I think they are a breath of fresh air blowing
    through the HM/rock world.  They have the courage to create a new sound
    and try to incorporate new styles (rap etc.).
    
    I just hope that they continue to break new ground and improve.  Hope
    that they don't fall in love with themselves and lose direction and
    credibility.  Only time will tell.
    
    I think a new album would be a great idea at this time, instead of
    riding on the success of The Real Thing for too long.

    this category are the Cockatoo(tm) twins.  Any guesses who will win,
    bearing in mind that the actual awards were presented last night but
    will be screened on the Bullsh*t Broadcasting Crackpots tonight!

    WELL, IF ANYBODY READS THIS, MY SON WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW THAT MR.
    BUNGLE'S MAJOR LABEL DEBUT IS FINALLY OUT.  PRODUCED BY PSCHOTIC JAZZ
    FREAK JOHN ZORN, IT HAS TO BE ONE OF THE MOST VERSATILE ALBUMS RELEASED
    IN YEARS.  HE SAYS THAT IF TAKES A COUPLE OF LISTENS TO TRULY FALL IN
    LOVE WITH, BUT AFTER THAT, YOU'RE HOOKED.  HE ALSO GOT A CHANCE TO SEE
    THEM IN AN UNANNOUNCED SHOW AT THE CHANNEL CLUB AND FROM WHAT HE SAID,
    IT SOUNDS LIKE ONE OF THE MOST PHENOMINAL SHOWS EVER(AND HE'S SEEN A
    LOT OF SHOWS, PROBABLY MORE THAN MOST). ANY QUESTIONS I'LL GLADLY
    FORWARD TO HIM. 
      

    Faith No More will release their second album in the spring.
    
                     Frizkid
    

    .82  2nd album?  I thought The Real Thing was their 3rd??

    Opps....I'm not a very big follower of FNM.....I guess their 4th one is
    on the way.
    
                  Frizkid
    

    
    
    Has anyone else heard FNM's new single......i keep hearing it on the
    radio. I'm no sure what it's called but it's not bad....

    Speaking to a gaggle of "Reading rockers" i know on Reading train
    station,apparently Faith No Moore did a "secret" gig at the
    Marquee club last night - (they were all going up to see them). The
    album is being released at the end of the month,apparently.
    

    
    Faith No More - Angel Dust gets release on June 16

I heard a snippet the other day.  I guess it is very different from Epic

TIm

    
    
    
    I saw the vid... well, only party of it... VERY Bizzare.... 

I liked the song I saw/heard on MTV off of Angel Dust this morning.  Dang, I 
forgot the name already.

Tim

    Mid-life Crisis is the name of the song I believe!
    
                Friz
    

    The album has been out for awhile now...any opinions?
    
    I think it is their best yet.  Very creative.  I hear Midlife Crisis on
    the radio a lot and the video is a Buzz Clip on MTV.
    
    Favorite Song on Angel Dust:   "Everything's Ruined"
    
    These guys are just so refreshing to listen to amidst the overflow
    of all these bands that are just plain "faking it".

    It all sounds the same to me....
    
                 Friz
    

    One of the worst album covers i`ve seen in years.
    

    I don't like it

    The album or the album cover (or both?)
    
    I haven`t heard the album yet,apart from the single - which i reckon
    is pretty good.
    

     
      After the first, this one is major letdown......
    
      I will bet they will lose alot of fans over it....
    
    KR
    

   >   After the first, this one is major letdown......
    
    Uhh, you mean after their 2nd.  This is their 3rd album.  I've never
    heard the 1st one though,  but I've seen in every record store...
    
    Ken
    
    

    This is their 4th album!

    Is it???!
    

    Yes.
    
    We Care A Lot
    The Real Thing
    er,that live album..
    Angel Dust
    

    We care alot about the Army,Navy,Air Force and Marines....DURF!
    
          Friz
    

    It's the live album that threw me!  I don't count live albums...
    It's not new material!

    
    	They had one called "Introduce Yourself", I believe ... not sure
    	if that was the live album that was referred to.
    
    							GTI
    

    Sorry - Introduce Yourself i meant....er,so that`s - 
    
    Introduce Yourself
    We Care A Lot
    The Real Thing
    That live album...("You fat bastard?")
    Angel Dust
    

    
    Actually, it goes:	We Care Alot	    (With Chuck Mosely on vocals)
    			Introduce yourself  (  "   "     "      "   "   )
    			The Real Thing	    (Michael Patton)
    			You fat bastard     (Live album)
    			Angel dust
    
    

    ....Wot happened to Chuck? 
    
    Last i heard he had joined Bad Brains. Is that right??
    

         
    Due to the recent lack 'o traffic on this note, I thought I'd
    toss in my $.02.
    
    A friend of mine in San Jose has been a big Mr Bungle fan for years
    and still follows them pretty regularly.  He's also seen FNM a few
    times.
    
    He and I both agree that that Moseley character wasn't that great.
    I saw FNM around 87 or so at the Edible Rex in Billerica, MA when
    Chuck was still the front man.  They were so-so.  I saw them again
    a few years later with Patton up front and the show was incredible.
    
    My friend claims that he got hurt by Mike Patton once.  He was up
    near the stage and got his attention diverted for a few seconds.
    When he looked up, it was just in time to see Mike Patton's
    psychotic grin in his face as he stage dove right on top of my
    friend.
    
    Also, did anyone else hear about Mike Patton getting busted recently
    in Buffalo for allegedly exposing himself on stage and sticking
    a microphone up his butt?

    Kevin

    Man, he must have a big butt!  I can't even imagine it...

    Ahahaha!!! Good one!!1  I'm rollin!!!

    I absolutely love the song "everything's ruined" the vid. is
    excellantly funny too!
    
    
                                                 staynz
    

    Has anyone seen the video 'EASY' yet?  It's hilarious !  Just the band
    and a bunch of transvestites.... 
    
    
    8'), danielle

    re .l16
    
    Are they Patton's personal harem? He's a strange character he is. 
    I've read a few interviews with him in the UK press and the subject
    matter usually covers his bizarre tastes and love of bashing the
    bishop in preference to getting it together with the laaayyydies.
    Good video. 
    
    barry.
    

    
    
    I saw them play the song on Jay Leno. Too funnny. I didn't know they
    had a video. I gotta try and catch it.
    
    

    The video was on around 12ish (it was on Alternative Nation), so it'll
    probably be on again around that time...
    
    :), danielle

    
    I'm Easy by the Temptations. I think Lionel Richie wrote the song.
    

    ah...i do believe ole lionel was of COmmodores fame.......not the
    temptations....but then again.........what do you know
    chris?....;').../k

Ha ha ha too funny...

Tim

    Commadores and Temptations.... *WAY* before Chris' time! :)
                                                               Rat

    Yeah, I think they said it was a Commodores song...
    
    :), danielle

    I liked the Commodores ... Travares was cool, too!

    
    RE:-1
    
    Figures...

    I loved the Commadores... in fact I think I still have a couple 45s of
    them!
         Rat

    
    I'm sorry..... forgive me father for I have sinned. I don't know my
    soft rock music groups.
    
    

    You are forgiven my son.

    Now, say 15 Hail Mary's and listing to the first Dio album 10 times in
    a row!

    Are you implying something bad about Dio?
                                             Rat

I hated the Commodes.  Another waste of airwaves.

    Lasted_Year,When I saw F_N_M,they did the"I'm_Easy"song. I gotta admit
    that they shocked me.I stood there Stunned(Natch)and COuldn't believe
    it.Only hours later did it HIT_ME what they were doin...
    
       Crazy_I_Know_I_Can_Be_Slow_Al
    
    But this was the First_Time in A_Long_Time that a group Out_Foxed
    me at what they were doin....I_Think    :_)

Because I haven't completely liked their previous CD, I have hesitated to buy
Angel Dust. This was an error. AD is, IMHO, their best album to date.
Heavier than previous works, it has more direction and is also better recorded.
Keyboards are really great and everything works fine. The last two covers,
Midnight Cowboy and Easy are also fine although surprising from the rest
of the album. One of my favourite tracks is Smaller and Smaller, a heavy killer
song. Well recommended !

Sorin

	The Real Thing is my favorite...one big trip!!!!!

	/Cap'n Quad

    I have to agree with the Capt'n on this one as The Real thing is
    awesome!Angeldust is good but just not as good.My copy of t real thing
    has Warpigs at the end and not Easy.
    
    						ian

    
    	I have "War Pigs" on mine also.
    

    its the sort of song where no matter who does it,it's a brilliant song!

    Hi guys,
    	    Well I think that the last album really sucks.The Real Thing
    was such a breakthrough that any following-ups was meant to be surely
    not that good.
    	  However I have to admit that Angel Dust confirmed FNM as one of
    the most innovative,dynamic and fluent bands around.
    	So, this is why the last album disappointed me so much.No more
    innovative stuff but only commercial songs, heavily based on grunge &
    whatever sells.
    	I jut wanted to know if U agree with me or I'm just being too
    harsh ...
    		Shake.
    

    Any_Body Else hear One of Pattons Side_Bands who have an Album Called
    "Mr.Bungle"?   This is One Wierd Piece.Lotta Influnces.I Hear Zappa 
    A_Bit.Theres A_Lot of References to The Movie"Blue Velvet"in it Also.
    Are they Really Gonna do The AAF Thang??
    
    
       Crazy_See_First_Liners_Note_Al

    
    	I haven't listened to that album in awhile.
    
    	I think there might have been a 2nd album also.
    

    re .145
    
    I don`t agree at all. "King for a day..." exceeded all my expectations.
    It is innovative, it is funky and it has power. I think it`s brilliant.
    
    iris_one_of_my_favorites

    Well U said it : funky ...
    

    I agree with note 148, I think that Faith-no-More opened up a jazzy
    side to themselves. Yet they still rocked out a few songs. I like to
    see diversity in a band's talents and I believe that F-n-R has done
    that.
