Mike Patton is most definitely a genius! There isn’t anything he can’t sing! The whole band is phenomenal! Mike has even recorded opera albums! Patton has a six-octave vocal range, which is considered to be one of the largest vocal ranges in popular music. He uses a variety of techniques in his singing, including crooning, falsetto, screaming, opera, death growls, rapping, beatboxing, and scatting. Faith No More is a true rabbit hole you’ll need to go down! They are so eclectic! Great reaction!
Yes, in addition to so much awesome Faith No More material she should check out eg. the astounding live performance: "Tomahawk - God Hates a Coward". He uses three mics: one for crazy, one for beauty, and one is...THE MASK!
Mike has a huge range and is impressively versatile aaand amazingly experimental, and that in itself is impressive enough. I'll never get why some people believe that that's not enough and need to exaggerate. No one can sing everything. Mike e.g. can reach high notes by sliding up while screaming, but he can't actually sing high. He can't reach high notes directly, he can't sing high notes but only scream them, he cannot stay in a high range, he cannot modulate in a high range and he cannot phrase in a high range. Give him any high range song, e.g. any piece for a mezzo-soprano, soprano or countertenor and he will not be able to sing it. And he will not be able to sing in genres that require a certain training that he isn't trained in, such as opera, contrarily to what some fans claim
FINALLY!! Faith No More is one of my favourite bands, Mike Patton is a beast, no wonder he's called the man with a 1000 voices ❤ Faith No More influencesd lots of bands and there's a lot of songs you could react.. By the way, if you ever watched the movie I am legend (with Will Smith ) Mike Patton does all the zombie sounds.
Mime Patton who sings for FNM has a massive vocal range and is still performing with FNM and other projects regularly to this day. Very talented bloke.
Mike Patton here in Chile is one more citizen..He was at the closing of a Telethon...and he called Don Francisco Mr. Corleone...lol...King for a day...Fool for a Lifetime is my favorite album...back to back...Ricochet and Evidence...or Digging the grave and Take this bottle...or King for a day and Just a man...your pick Biss ❤
6:16 - Some really strong follow ups - Stripsearch, Evidence, Ashes To Ashes, King For A Day, Caffeine, also The Real Thing title track has a tapped jazz beat that almost sounds like drum and bass.
Faith No More’s been one of my fave bands since their 3rd studio album; first song is off that. Second song (yes, a cover) later released on an EP. Mike Patton is a crazy versatile vocalist.
Great reaction Biss!!! They did a GREAT cover of Black Sabbath's War Pigs! This band and Jane's Addiction got me into alternative music well before Nirvana came along! Trust me...You're only scratching the surface of Faith No More. This is rabbit whole that everyone should fall into. Looking forward to next. CHEERS!!! 🍻🤟👏
Mike Patton is an underappreciated vocalist as is the entire band. FNM was my wife's favorite band, when she died she still maintained that Patton was the best vocalist on earth, only behind the great Freddie Mercury, and I agree.....
Mike Patton is incredibly versatile. You were 100% correct when you said you picked up genius vibes! His vocal range is practically schizophrenic. The second song is a cover by Lionel Richie btw
I don't mean to be a dick and I appreciate that English may not be your first language but the song is 'Surprise! You're Dead!'? That's how it's written down in any context. If you like it as much as to recommend it to someone else, how are you fucking it up in terms of spelling and grammar?!
This is one of my favorite bands. Mike Patton is an amazing vocalist. I would suggest A Small Victory, Falling to Pieces, Epic, Ashes to Ashes, The Perfect Crime, and Take This Bottle as well.
The Commodores with Lionel Ritchie was the original artists to record the song Easy. Funny that the Commodores was the first Arena concert I ever attended when I was 17. I recommend you listen to the original.
Definitely the best cover of Lionel Richies original. And that growl Sound before the guitar solo starts is also to hear by Lionel. Sometimes hard to decide 'cause they Sound so similar.
If this is the first time hearing Mike Patton and Faith no more, you are in for quite a ride. Mike is one of the greatest vocalists of our time. You need to also check out Mr Bungle, which is Mike's side band. It gets down right crazy. I love it❤
Mike patton es un maldito genio y lo que tiene de genio lo tiene en locura... FNM es una tremenda banda. También tiene sus otras bandas experimentales que son una locura.
I have watched a LOT of reactions to Patton's singing and I don't recall anyone else commenting on him inhaling while singing in the low part of Midlife Crisis
the highlight of my musical life ( as an observer ) was a concert where soundgarden were the opening act, followed by faith no more, then guns n roses ! my generation was so blessed musically! big love to all people :)
Agree with all the other comments, Mike Patton is a genius and a true treasure. Most definitely underacknowledged, but definitely the most versatile vocalist around, very theatrical and methodical. I've been a fan since The Real Thing album released in 1988, he is a wonderful musician to go down a rabbit hole on. I've seen them live 3-4 times and they were just amazing every time. When they toured for the Angel Dust album they played a cover of the song from a Hershey's white chocolate bar commercial - it was so out of pocket but hilariously fun. Would love to see you react to more Mike Patton.
Faith No More are awesome, and Mike Patton is one of a kind - so many projects and performance personas.Will leave it to others to post suggestion although the live Poker Face / Chinese Arithmetic mash up is nicely done. Mike Patton's main side project, Mr Bungle, is experimental but full of humour - both linguistically and musically - but there isn't much of it on UA-cam.
Patton is one of those artists who **actually** understands that his voice is an instrument. He doesn't comply with arbitrary notions about what should be done or what is normally done. If he wants to make a sound and he knows how to do it, he will do it. That's what makes him an artistic genius - freedom from the rules. I think it also helps that Patton was/is totally damn gorgeous lol
This boy's voice is incredible....two different songs...two different tones of voice...perfect mastery of musical notes....nothing more to say....thank you biss..🫶✌️✌️✌️
As a European you should check out him singing in Italian with his band Mondo Cane. Also his performance of the song Epic on SNL is, pardon the pun, Epic!
@@BisscuteReacts There's a fantastic live performance of Mike Patton and Mondo Cane live in Chile 2011 here on UA-cam. The songs Urlo Negro and Storia D'Amore are reaction worthy
Mike Patton (singer) is I think the most talented singer I have ever heard. From Faith No More, Mr. bungle, collaboration on other bands backing vocals, he does an amazing Spanish language opera style album, just search his name and enjoy everything that you find, he's a true joy in the music world, not just rock🎉🎉
By the way, Mike Patton is self-taught. And he has not only a huge range, but also absolute musical pitch. He didn't even read notes, he didn't need them.
One of my favourite performances by Faith No More is "War Pigs". It's on the Nativity in Black tribute album and was recorded live at Brixton. Amazing cover!
Really good songs and not ones that I was familiar with, and I agree they definitely feel like they go together. Thank you for sharing, loved your reaction and thoughts.
One of my favorite bands of all time. Mike Patton (the lead singer) is one of the most interesting artists of modern rock. You can fall down a huge rabbit hole looking into his career
"Epic" is a greatest hit by Faith No More, in my opinion 😎. "Easy" is a cover made by Faith No More, and initially recorded by "The Commodores (Lionel Richie's band, who composed "We Are The World" together with Michael Jackson)".
I remember when I first saw them on the Epic tour, I was really questioning for a moment if the are doing playback (they obviously didn't), because the music as well as his vocals was the most perfect recreation of the studio versions I ever encountered live on stage. Brilliant band.
And now Bisscute discover a single man who can sing from A to Z, with a great performance like if you are listening the album version. "Easy" one of my favorite covers. You didn't need to say that you fell in love of him or his voice, we could see it in your reaction. ❤👍🏼
Faith No More was formed in the 80's and was a quirky rock band, much like the Red Hot Chili Peppers... Primus... Jane's Addiction... Mike Patton (vocals) was not an original member of Faith No More (He joined around 1988)... this performance was from 1992 on the 'Tonight Show' promoting their album 'Angel Dust'... 'Easy' was a R&B cover song, originally by 70's band The Commodores. Faith No More went through a number of members before they found Chuck Mosley (vocals) alongside Jim Martin (guitar), Billy Gould (bass), Mike 'Puffy' Bordin (drums) and Roddy Bottum (keyboards)... and released the indie album 'We care a lot' in 1985. The band was signed by Slash Records in 1986 and released the album 'Introduce yourself'... Faith No More re-recorded the rap-rock single 'We care a lot'... and also released the single "Anne's song" as a music video... However, the band was unstable and vocalist Chuck Mosley was fired in 1988 after altercations w/ Jim Martin... Sadly, Chuck Mosley passed away from alcoholism in 2017. Around 1988, Faith No More enlisted Mike Patton (vocals) from another quirky California rock band - Mr. Bungle... In 1989, they released the album 'The Real Thing'... and in 1990, the single 'Epic' w/ a mix of rap and rock finally pushed the record to platinum sales (1 million copies) in the US and it became a hit in Europe as well. Other singles were - 'Falling to pieces'... 'From out of nowhere'... Rather than push the rap-rock sound, Faith No More decided to experiment on their 1992 album 'Angel Dust'... the single 'Midlife crisis' became a hit and the album sold gold (half million copies)... and had the singles - 'A small victory'... "Everything's ruined"... Unfortunately, guitarist Jim Martin left Faith No More in 1993... frustrated by the musical direction. Mike Patton wrote a majority of Faith No More's "King for a day" album in 1995 w/ guitarist Trey Spruance of Mr. Bungle recording the guitars... but the record was not as successful w/ the singles - 'Evidence'... 'Digging the grave'... Guitarist Jon Hudson joined Faith No More in 1997 as the released a stellar record 'Album of the year'... but sales were not as good again w/ the singles - 'Last cup of sorrow'... 'Stripsearch'... 'Ashes to ashes'... Faith No More broke up in 1998. Mike Patton stayed busy w/ various projects like Tomahawk... Mr. Bungle ... Fantomas... etc. The reuinion of Faith No More finally happened in 2009 as the band (Patton / Gould/ Bordin/ Bottum and Jon Hudson) began touring again and released a new album 'Sol invictus' in 2015. However, the band has gone on hiatus again... Mike Patton has been touring lately w/ Mr. Bungle.
Faith No More is kind of an interesting one, that I really only know so much about. They were around for a long time, but weren't really that successful, and were more of an underground band, that probably has their hard core fans, but the one big huge mainstream moment they had was in the late 80s with the song "Epic" and it's music video, that is pretty epic, was really huge at the time, like when I was in Junior High. At least that's how I know them. You should check it out, and I don't want to spoil anything yet, but this is one where you totally should watch the music video! Mike Patton, the lead singer, has done a lot of different stuff over the years beyond just fronting Faith No More though, and he is a pretty amazing singer that does a lot of different genres of music. You can probably find videos of just him doing whatever. This song "I'm Easy" is actually a cover of The Commodores song "Easy". They were like a funk and soul band from the 70s, which used to be my man Lionel Richie's band. I've done a spiel about him before, a very talented song writer and singer, he was one of the main people responsible for making "We Are The World" happen, and you saw him in that, he also wrote the song "Lady" that you saw Kenny Rogers do, and for a while they were good buddies that worked together a lot, and now you might know him as a judge on American Idol.
Faith No More is amazing...so many great songs, so much variation, so interesting. That's why they never get old. Also check out Mike Patton's other music like the astounding live performance: "Tomahawk - God Hates a Coward"! He uses three mics: one for crazy, one for beauty, and one is...THE MASK!
Billy Gould, the bassist, is also known as Güero sin Fe, when he played with the band Brujeria, which you should probably listen to now that its vocalist, Juan Brujo recently passed away
i like the thing in your hair,i have no idea what it's called😂,but it looks super cute🥰...by the way..Faith no More is one of my alltime favorite bands.i saw them live once,great show🤘🤘🤘
Faith No More does a lot of weird covers live (so do Mike's other bands). They'll even do stuff like ending one of their own songs by segueing into a little bit of "Ice Ice Baby" or a Backstreet Boys song. I think they just like the contrast of doing an unexpected cover song and, especially with pop stuff, there's probably a little irony in it that Mike enjoys. With his first band, Mr. Bungle, I've heard him do TV theme songs, R&B/Soul, and even a 1/3 speed death metal cover of Billy Squier's "The Stroke" (all while wearing a leather bondage mask and gas station overalls). I'm not sure if it started with anyone saying to them, "Hey, you can't really sing" or anything like that. I had a musician friend in one of my bands many years ago tell me that the most punk rock thing a punk musician could do was to wear a Britney Spears t-shirt because doing so is rebelling against your own genre/audience's uniform. I think that might be a little bit of why Mike and his many bands cover unexpected pop songs. Also, Mike likes a lot of different music. Some of the classics he covers, like "Easy" or his version of "Simply Beautiful" that he does live with Fantomas are probably because he just likes the songs and wants to sing them.
You are correct they did Easy because the first cover they did was War Pigs by Black Sabbath. They wanted to switch it up. Epic is their big hit. The real thing and falling to pieces are good. A small victory, kindergarten and evidence also
The commercial stuff was written with commercial stuff in mind, to appeal to the wider audience of the times. All of Patton's, and FNM's, best work can be found in the albums, and Patton's various bands and non-commercial stuff. It's just the way it's always been with them. I've been a fan of FNM since Mosley was singing for them. Time flies. Song recommendations, in no order: The Morning After The Real Thing Zombie Eaters Everything’s Ruined Land Of Sunshine Edge Of The World RV (sort of a joke song, but lower register vocals) Malpractice (this song is nuts, but it shows off his crazy screeching highs) Songs I think show off a lot of his Faith No More voices, as I call them. Thing to understand about Mike is that he’s not afraid of playing around with his voice. He has a blast with it. Also, the band sometimes has a dark sense of humor, and that will come out in the lyrics. ‘Edge Of The World’, for example, is straight up creepy, lyrically, but I put it in there for musical contrast. His vocals on the album The Real Thing are often pointy and nasal sounding, seemingly a deliberate choice. On Angel Dust they’re often rounder, more open, or husky. That said, he does all kinds of other stuff on both albums. I chose them because they are my favorite Patton FNM albums. I'll put this here for reference: Mike Patton, Member of: Faith No More, Mr. Bungle, Fantômas, Tomahawk & Dead Cross Formerly of: Peeping Tom, Lovage, Kaada/Patton, Hemophiliac & Nevermen
youre right, he has one of the best voices and creative minds of the last 100 years. But he's also kinda narcisistic and quite crazy at times. He decides today he wants to record an opera album he does it, then 10 days later he wants to record an hip-hop album :P thats Mike Patton :P
Their two albums “the real thing” and “Angel dust” are gems 💎 Mike Patton is a genius and one of the best vocalist from that time that doesn’t get the same respect 🫡 as some of the others
Yes, @Bisscute. Mike Patton IS a musical genius. In my opinion he's the best all-around vocalist of All-Time. Plus, Faith No More has influenced so many bands. Especially Nu-Metal bands like Korn and Slipknot. That thing Mike was doing at the beginning is very much like what Jonathan Davis does, but Mike Patton did it long before him. Davis cites Patton as a big influence along with Faith No More and Mr. Bungle, which is the band Mike Patton was in before he joined Faith No More.
Fun fact: around this time Mike Patton had been hanging out with John Zorn and he was getting into obscure vocal techniques like throat singing and changing, etcetera. He also taught himself how to emulate other things with his voice, particularly other musical instruments. If you listen to this song (the album version in particular) Mike is trying to emulate percussion in the verses, horns in the pre chorus and stringed instruments in the chorus with his voice and the way he is singing those parts. Dude is eerie clever, I know a few people that have done music with Mike and there's no one quite like him. He really excels at most things and I don't actually think it's usually on purpose
Biss I have a song request by a band called "ambrosia" the songs called "your the only woman" "ambrosia was the very best in 70s soft rock this song is as buitiful to hear today As it was when it was first recorded the harmonies are Simply perfect That's longevity at its finest" "what a buitiful song never get tired of hearing it" " One of my personal favorite songs. Why can't music be this good nowadays that's 3 nice comments I hope you play it some day i know you'll like it take care❤😊
There's very good reason why Mike Patton is known as the man of a thousand voices. A pure vocal phenom with a 6 octave vocal range, can sing anything and everything, go from low quiet whisper to high pitched demonic scream in a heartbeat. So talented that he made all the zombie noises in the movie I Am Legend which sums up in a nutshell Mike himself. Better to listen to studio versions/official videos of Faith No More songs rather than live performances.
I like thé way théy"cared à lot" about our ears and since their beginning!!!!. And What about Patton's mr Bungle performance.... keep on good work MissBisscute.
As every other comment has mentioned, Mike has many layers as a vocalist. These two songs are a very narrow slice of what he does. Not only is every Faith No More album different with a different vibe and plenty of different vocal styles, Mike has about a thousand side projects in every style you can think of. Math metal, noise jazz, Italian pop, hip-hop, crooning, death metal, hardcore, punk, hard rock, circus metal, vocalise, comic book soundtracks, spazz death disco... you name it, he's got a project that does it. If you want to get weird with it, check out his band that he's been in since high school, Mr. Bungle. For a reaction, "Carnival" from their first album is a good one but, if you want to see a live performance, check out something like "Air Conditioned Nightmare" from the Bizarre Festival and you'll see them pulling off a lot of vocal vibes live.
Bingoo Biss! For my personal taste Mike Patton and Tatiana Shmayluk are most versatile male and female vocalist in the world. I saw them both live here in Italy several times and they are absolutely talented beasts. Thank you for your great reaction!

The craziest stuff he did is with Painkiller. They have like 15s songs that leave you exhausted...
Easy is a commodores remake easy we are in luv with them too luv. I luv your reaction to one of my favorite band 😊😘❤️
Mike has a huge range and is impressively versatile aaand amazingly experimental, and that in itself is impressive enough. I'll never get why some people believe that that's not enough and need to exaggerate. No one can sing everything. Mike e.g. can reach high notes by sliding up while screaming, but he can't actually sing high. He can't reach high notes directly, he can't sing high notes but only scream them, he cannot stay in a high range, he cannot modulate in a high range and he cannot phrase in a high range.

"Easy" is a cover of a Lionel Ritchie song. A couple of their big songs are "Epic" and "Falling To Pieces"

And now Bisscute discover a single man who can sing from A to Z, with a great performance like if you are listening the album version.
"Easy" one of my favorite covers.
You didn't need to say that you fell in love of him or his voice, we could see it in your reaction.

Faith No More was formed in the 80's and was a quirky rock band, much like the Red Hot Chili Peppers... Primus... Jane's Addiction...
Mike Patton (vocals) was not an original member of Faith No More (He joined around 1988)... this performance was from 1992 on the 'Tonight Show' promoting their album 'Angel Dust'... 'Easy' was a R&B cover song, originally by 70's band The Commodores.
Faith No More went through a number of members before they found Chuck Mosley (vocals) alongside Jim Martin (guitar), Billy Gould (bass), Mike 'Puffy' Bordin (drums) and Roddy Bottum (keyboards)... and released the indie album 'We care a lot' in 1985.
The band was signed by Slash Records in 1986 and released the album 'Introduce yourself'... Faith No More re-recorded the rap-rock single 'We care a lot'... and also released the single "Anne's song" as a music video... However, the band was unstable and vocalist Chuck Mosley was fired in 1988 after altercations w/ Jim Martin... Sadly, Chuck Mosley passed away from alcoholism in 2017.
Around 1988, Faith No More enlisted Mike Patton (vocals) from another quirky California rock band - Mr. Bungle... In 1989, they released the album 'The Real Thing'... and in 1990, the single 'Epic' w/ a mix of rap and rock finally pushed the record to platinum sales (1 million copies) in the US and it became a hit in Europe as well. Other singles were - 'Falling to pieces'... 'From out of nowhere'...
Rather than push the rap-rock sound, Faith No More decided to experiment on their 1992 album 'Angel Dust'... the single 'Midlife crisis' became a hit and the album sold gold (half million copies)... and had the singles - 'A small victory'... "Everything's ruined"...
Unfortunately, guitarist Jim Martin left Faith No More in 1993... frustrated by the musical direction.
Mike Patton wrote a majority of Faith No More's "King for a day" album in 1995 w/ guitarist Trey Spruance of Mr. Bungle recording the guitars... but the record was not as successful w/ the singles - 'Evidence'... 'Digging the grave'...
Guitarist Jon Hudson joined Faith No More in 1997 as the released a stellar record 'Album of the year'... but sales were not as good again w/ the singles - 'Last cup of sorrow'... 'Stripsearch'... 'Ashes to ashes'... Faith No More broke up in 1998.
Mike Patton stayed busy w/ various projects like Tomahawk... Mr. Bungle ... Fantomas... etc. The reuinion of Faith No More finally happened in 2009 as the band (Patton / Gould/ Bordin/ Bottum and Jon Hudson) began touring again and released a new album 'Sol invictus' in 2015.
However, the band has gone on hiatus again... Mike Patton has been touring lately w/ Mr. Bungle.
Faith No More is kind of an interesting one, that I really only know so much about. They were around for a long time, but weren't really that successful, and were more of an underground band, that probably has their hard core fans, but the one big huge mainstream moment they had was in the late 80s with the song "Epic" and it's music video, that is pretty epic, was really huge at the time, like when I was in Junior High. At least that's how I know them. You should check it out, and I don't want to spoil anything yet, but this is one where you totally should watch the music video!
Mike Patton, the lead singer, has done a lot of different stuff over the years beyond just fronting Faith No More though, and he is a pretty amazing singer that does a lot of different genres of music. You can probably find videos of just him doing whatever. This song "I'm Easy" is actually a cover of The Commodores song "Easy". They were like a funk and soul band from the 70s, which used to be my man Lionel Richie's band. I've done a spiel about him before, a very talented song writer and singer, he was one of the main people responsible for making "We Are The World" happen, and you saw him in that, he also wrote the song "Lady" that you saw Kenny Rogers do, and for a while they were good buddies that worked together a lot, and now you might know him as a judge on American Idol.
I will add it to the list
He 💯 is a GENIUS!!!
Wait until you deep dive into Mike Patton and listen to ‘Mondo Cane’. 🤯
you picked the right video genius woman lol😂
Faith No More is amazing...so many great songs, so much variation, so interesting. That's why they never get old.
Also check out Mike Patton's other music like the astounding live performance: "Tomahawk - God Hates a Coward"! He uses three mics: one for crazy, one for beauty, and one is...THE MASK!
Their cover of the Midnight Cowboy theme still echoes n my head.
This man is a genius and a huge inspiration for me as a singer.
Hey Biss
Thanks for reaching out
Michael Patton is a virtuoso of his instrument
Even does opera in Italian.
💯♥️🇦🇺
Absolute, 100 percent vibes!!
Billy Gould, the bassist, is also known as Güero sin Fe, when he played with the band Brujeria, which you should probably listen to now that its vocalist, Juan Brujo recently passed away
When I saw the first look to the song I thought: Faith no more ? This will be funny ! Your reaction to it saves my evening ! 😂
Hands down, Mike Patton is my all time favorite vocalist. He has many bands and a Solo career. Please go down the rabbit hole.
i like the thing in your hair,i have no idea what it's called😂,but it looks super cute🥰...by the way..Faith no More is one of my alltime favorite bands.i saw them live once,great show🤘🤘🤘
I will add it to the list
Nice song, nice reaction
Faith No More does a lot of weird covers live (so do Mike's other bands). They'll even do stuff like ending one of their own songs by segueing into a little bit of "Ice Ice Baby" or a Backstreet Boys song. I think they just like the contrast of doing an unexpected cover song and, especially with pop stuff, there's probably a little irony in it that Mike enjoys. With his first band, Mr. Bungle, I've heard him do TV theme songs, R&B/Soul, and even a 1/3 speed death metal cover of Billy Squier's "The Stroke" (all while wearing a leather bondage mask and gas station overalls).
I'm not sure if it started with anyone saying to them, "Hey, you can't really sing" or anything like that. I had a musician friend in one of my bands many years ago tell me that the most punk rock thing a punk musician could do was to wear a Britney Spears t-shirt because doing so is rebelling against your own genre/audience's uniform. I think that might be a little bit of why Mike and his many bands cover unexpected pop songs.
Also, Mike likes a lot of different music. Some of the classics he covers, like "Easy" or his version of "Simply Beautiful" that he does live with Fantomas are probably because he just likes the songs and wants to sing them.
You are correct they did Easy because the first cover they did was War Pigs by Black Sabbath. They wanted to switch it up.
Epic is their big hit. The real thing and falling to pieces are good.
A small victory, kindergarten and evidence also
The commercial stuff was written with commercial stuff in mind, to appeal to the wider audience of the times. All of Patton's, and FNM's, best work can be found in the albums, and Patton's various bands and non-commercial stuff. It's just the way it's always been with them. I've been a fan of FNM since Mosley was singing for them. Time flies.
Song recommendations, in no order:
The Morning After
The Real Thing
Zombie Eaters
Everything’s Ruined
Land Of Sunshine
Edge Of The World
RV (sort of a joke song, but lower register vocals)
Malpractice (this song is nuts, but it shows off his crazy screeching highs)
Songs I think show off a lot of his Faith No More voices, as I call them. Thing to understand about Mike is that he’s not afraid of playing around with his voice. He has a blast with it. Also, the band sometimes has a dark sense of humor, and that will come out in the lyrics. ‘Edge Of The World’, for example, is straight up creepy, lyrically, but I put it in there for musical contrast. His vocals on the album The Real Thing are often pointy and nasal sounding, seemingly a deliberate choice. On Angel Dust they’re often rounder, more open, or husky. That said, he does all kinds of other stuff on both albums. I chose them because they are my favorite Patton FNM albums.
I'll put this here for reference:
Mike Patton,
Member of: Faith No More, Mr. Bungle, Fantômas, Tomahawk & Dead Cross
Formerly of: Peeping Tom, Lovage, Kaada/Patton, Hemophiliac & Nevermen
Hi, Faith no more is one of the most multifaceted bands.
And Mike Patton is a genius!!!
youre right, he has one of the best voices and creative minds of the last 100 years. But he's also kinda narcisistic and quite crazy at times. He decides today he wants to record an opera album he does it, then 10 days later he wants to record an hip-hop album :P thats Mike Patton :P
Fukkk yess! 🔥 faith no more, love to see it
Their two albums “the real thing” and “Angel dust” are gems 💎 Mike Patton is a genius and one of the best vocalist from that time that doesn’t get the same respect 🫡 as some of the others
Yes, @Bisscute. Mike Patton IS a musical genius. In my opinion he's the best all-around vocalist of All-Time. Plus, Faith No More has influenced so many bands. Especially Nu-Metal bands like Korn and Slipknot. That thing Mike was doing at the beginning is very much like what Jonathan Davis does, but Mike Patton did it long before him. Davis cites Patton as a big influence along with Faith No More and Mr. Bungle, which is the band Mike Patton was in before he joined Faith No More.
Fun fact: around this time Mike Patton had been hanging out with John Zorn and he was getting into obscure vocal techniques like throat singing and changing, etcetera. He also taught himself how to emulate other things with his voice, particularly other musical instruments. If you listen to this song (the album version in particular) Mike is trying to emulate percussion in the verses, horns in the pre chorus and stringed instruments in the chorus with his voice and the way he is singing those parts. Dude is eerie clever, I know a few people that have done music with Mike and there's no one quite like him. He really excels at most things and I don't actually think it's usually on purpose
Mike Patton is very eccentric, versatile, and creative.. I’m glad you’ve discovered Faith No More
Biss I have a song request by a band called "ambrosia" the songs called "your the only woman" "ambrosia was the very best in 70s soft rock this song is as buitiful to hear today As it was when it was first recorded the harmonies are Simply perfect That's longevity at its finest" "what a buitiful song never get tired of hearing it" " One of my personal favorite songs. Why can't music be this good nowadays that's 3 nice comments I hope you play it some day i know you'll like it take care❤😊
faith no more evidence - great song
Davey Havok from 'AFI' is good at switching between voices during a performance as well...such as in the song 'Miss Murder'.
There's very good reason why Mike Patton is known as the man of a thousand voices. A pure vocal phenom with a 6 octave vocal range, can sing anything and everything, go from low quiet whisper to high pitched demonic scream in a heartbeat. So talented that he made all the zombie noises in the movie I Am Legend which sums up in a nutshell Mike himself. Better to listen to studio versions/official videos of Faith No More songs rather than live performances.
Genius level vocals for sure.
You were a smitten kitten Mrs. Biscutte. Your reaction was awesome. Youll fall in luv even more.
Mike Patton is a major talent...and some other good songs from Faith No More are 'Epic', 'Ashes to Ashes', and 'Evidence'.
Yea the little plucking sound was probably Jim Martin whom probably already had checked out at this moment. You can tell by this performance.
Epic is a great song.
I like thé way théy"cared à lot" about our ears and since their beginning!!!!. And What about Patton's mr Bungle performance.... keep on good work MissBisscute.
Mike Patton used to live in Italy for years and speaks Italian very well
Best Vocalist alive!
Your new favorite band, welcome!
Dude is constantly joking around. Probably a riot to hang out with. At least back then.
The Gentle Art Of Making Enemies, best song.
his mother was a poor russian frog, and his father was a rich german store mannequin
Somewhat accurate :D
As every other comment has mentioned, Mike has many layers as a vocalist. These two songs are a very narrow slice of what he does. Not only is every Faith No More album different with a different vibe and plenty of different vocal styles, Mike has about a thousand side projects in every style you can think of. Math metal, noise jazz, Italian pop, hip-hop, crooning, death metal, hardcore, punk, hard rock, circus metal, vocalise, comic book soundtracks, spazz death disco... you name it, he's got a project that does it.
If you want to get weird with it, check out his band that he's been in since high school, Mr. Bungle. For a reaction, "Carnival" from their first album is a good one but, if you want to see a live performance, check out something like "Air Conditioned Nightmare" from the Bizarre Festival and you'll see them pulling off a lot of vocal vibes live.
Bingoo Biss! For my personal taste Mike Patton and Tatiana Shmayluk are most versatile male and female vocalist in the world. I saw them both live here in Italy several times and they are absolutely talented beasts. Thank you for your great reaction!
