I met some of the band after their Glasgow, Scotland gig back in the day when TRT had just came out. Earlier in the day, they were doing a signing and we told them about a really good Glaswegian band who were playing at a club later that night. We were pretty shocked when MP, Roddy and Billy walked into the club. I was completely starstruck with being so near to Mike but I put on my big girl pants and struck up a conversation with him. I also got him to sign my arm and when i told him i was going to get it tattooed over in the morning, he seemed quite bemused as if he didn't see himself as deserving of such a thing. Even he didn't realise how huge the band would become and how talented he'd end up being. I wear his autograph on my arm with pride to this day.
Holy shit, this might be the first time I actually listened to somebody talk about a band for an hour (apart from some band members or such). I think you did a great job, thumbs up and thanks for the fun (and also for reminding me to relisten my FNM discography). Cheers, mate!
Was 15 when Angel dust came out. I heard The real thing beforehand but Angel dust blew me away. It’s my number 1 album of all time. Music never was the same after this album. I hated the hair bands of the later 80s. It was time for a change. I remember when MTV premiered “ A small victory” It was awesome! Nice video!
Thanks! My husband's fave band and we finally saw them. He'd also seen Chuck Mosley in a small club in Boise, Idaho a few years ago. RIP. Anyway, discovered your channel when watching The Damned (Dave=yum). Cheers--Therasa DeBiase Rogers
Great video man. I'm 45 and still a huge FNM fan. You did a great job on their history. Love the chuck era. RIP Chuck! Just wish martin was still in the band.
Thanks! I'd like to add... I was there for the albums and at the time, lucky to catch interviews and concerts, the first being 92 in Slane in Ireland during the G&R tour (I was 16), we all went for FNM and drank during G&R, tried to get backstage to meet the band, you do a great job at putting me back there, thank you! :Lets hope they tour again soon!
Hey geezer, thanks so much for this tour through the FNM back catalogue. The history, critique, archive footage, as well as your own thoughts and feelings about the music made this an enjoyable retrospective. Love how you kept it lighthearted and funny. Great job!
This is a fantastic breakdown of FNMs discography. I really enjoyed this video, you did a great job. King For A Day is their masterpiece IMO. Bill and Puffy are one of the greatest rhythm sections of all time and Mike Patton IS the greatest front man of all time.
I was only 6 years old when The Real Thing released... but I only discovered it 10 years later... I was blown away by this album... unlike anything I knew or heard at the time... 23 years later and this album still blows me away
All of it is so true and their music is so distinctive that their songs create a doubly powerful link to memories of a time long gone. All music has this power but it's just so moody that for me at least I would say that their songs really really bring me back! The clarity of the time and place I was at and with whom is stronger than the memory of my most recent dream after waking. Inspirational up to today no matter how many times I have listened to them. I can't say enough how they impacted the quality of my pre teen years up to my early 20s. I've never met them but they are like old friends because their songs are like old friends. Faith No More Forever!
Thanks a lot for this. You can tell this was a real labor of love by a true fan. Your assessments are accurate & with a good amount of humor to boot. Very well put together, really enjoyable. Respect dude \m/ FNM forever
Hey thanks. I'm a huge fan of Mr Bungle and never listened to faith no more until tonight, so this video is perfect for me to catch up. Patton always was my favorite singer though I'm mostly into brutal death metal style, but at 44 I think I can soften a bit and listen to faith no more now. Cheers
I have a 7 year older brother and in the early nineties he had angel dust lying on the kitchen table (bought it as a birthday gift for a friend of his). But my brother was away for a moment and I took the cd to my room to try it. I was 15, I was a fan right away! I really love their eclectic sound. From hardrock to jazz, soul etc etc etc.
Nobody ever mentions “Last To Know” off KFAD. I guess it gets over shadowed by just a man but damn.... it’s so powerfully moving. Guess I’m the only human that feels that way tho.
I always wondered what that song was about because it seemed to be refencing something specific. It dawned on me it is about leaving/abandonment. What grows on trees but never blooms? Leaves!
Mike Patton has been dealing with mental health issues and had to cancel a show. I got to see them in Oakland way back when in the 1990's with Queensryche, which played Operation Mindcrime in its entirety, Soundgarden, and Metallica. I love Faith No More!
My favorite song ever made is “Caffeine,” off of my favorite album ever made, “Angel Dust.” Yes, by my favorite band in human history, Faith No More. But, A) I live in H’wood, and every time I pass the Sci*ntol*gy building, and they try to give me a flyer, after asking, “How are you today?” I counter with, “Well, I’m not an angel. Heading for the land of sunshine. Like you are. But I’m doing well.” They’re unbelievably nice to me now, and, B) That I just saw (the) Melvins and Mr. Bungle a few months ago, I get to say that I saw my two favorite bands together! Melvins ‘n Mike Patton. Yes, he’s my favorite anything of all time.
This is exactly what I was looking for... Surprisingly there's not much to find about FNM history on UA-cam. You did a very fine job. Me thanks a lot! :-) Greetings from Germany.
This was a really enjoyable reflection on one of my favourite bands. You are knowledgable and have a good sense of humour ( I chuckled heartily at the Chili Peppers rant) This band captured my attention as a 16 year old in 1990 and has held it since. Thankyou!
Great Video man! FNM has been on of my favourite bands for years, and hearing someone talk about it for this long actually gave me a new perspective on something that I already liked. Keep it up!
As a drummer I practised a lot. But I will never try to cover a FNM song. Mike Bordin is a very unique, tight and powerful drummer who cant be replaced at all! Furthermore he‘s a lefty playing on a right handed Kit.
I didn't know that! My husband is right handed and can play a left handed kit because his best friend and bandmate of 20 years (wow i feel old saying that, we're only 40!) is left handed so that's what he learned on lol
Angel Dust, released the summer of my freshman year in high school, was a Top 5 album for me. When Jim Martin left the band, the news devastated me. I just never liked the band as much without Jim, probably my favorite member. I remember going to the CD and tape store release day for King For A Day...(they were cranking it), hating the guitar player, and walking out without purchasing the album. I hear that album is now the fan favorite.🤷♂️
Great review of each album. I’ve been a FNM fan for a while now and Angel Dust is a masterpiece of alternative metal. It was my favorite for album by them for a long time but now but KFAD has become my new favorite, so many great songs. Both spectacular albums
Lordy lord lord! Every time we see Mike in this excellent doc we see his intense eyes. I thought it was just a thing for concerts as in possibly drug induced. Man, was I ever wrong and am I ever happy to be wrong. General Patton is just the man feeling life far more than most us ever do reflected in his windows to the soul. Hello, goodbye, you know, you made us cry.
Great video man, you did a great job of covering each album and giving your opinion on them. FNM are the band that got me to expand my taste beyond Alt, Rock and Metal. Songs like Evidence, Stripsearch, Just a Man and others showed another side of music that I hadn't really paid attention to, while also making me appreciate their ability to jump into to any genre they want and sound amazing. Angel Dust and King for a Day are some of their best works IMO, I could just go on and on about these two albums. The bonus tracks on the deluxe version of King for a Day are great if you haven't already checked them out before.
My mom got me a random case of CDs she bought at a yardsale for 25 bucks when I was 16. It had(ones that worked) Tools first 3 albums,Sepulturas Beneath the remains/Arise,RATMs first 2,Metallicas load/reload,AICs dirt,Best of Jimmy Hendricks,Slayers sessions of the abyss/Reign in blood And Faith no mores king for a day(didn't work) and ANGEL DUST. I got into most of these albums except load/reload and angel dust, At first me and my brother only liked midlife crisis and everything's ruined while we ignored the rest of the album. Fastforward 5 years I start listening to albums I own that I didn't give a full chance 2 while I played games or was driving, out of all the ones I gave repeated listens to see if they'll grow on me Angle dust kept calling and calling my name and I would find myself slapping it in even though I didn't like half the songs on it. Over time land of sunshine/caffeine/malpractice/small victory and (my favorites) Kindergarten/Smaller and smaller grew on me. After awhile I wouldn't skip a song and realized this might be my favorite album. Fast forward 4 years later I know most of the songs on bass/drums and it is still my top played album. I just bought all of the 'patton' albums and I'm so excited to dig into them. Great video man I really enjoyed it! /extra points for the comedy bits they were good
I never forget Paton diving through the air like big Neville Southall, and grabbing a dirty scabby apple that was thrown at him, without touching the ground he bit into it and threw it back, it was so graceful, and I'll never forget it, hahaha.
So well done ! I'm literally blown away at how great this was. I'm a die hard FNM / Mike Patton fan and you are fucking outstanding! Subbed immediately.
Best band ever possibly, along with Rush and the manics. I named my daughter after them! Whatever sound a band has, be it slipknot, system, linkin park, Korn etc, FNM did it first. It took me a while to appreciate 'easy' untill I got older and I was done with partying, then I understood. I just couldn't stand the pain. Thirty years after I first heard them I still require some faith to function.
I'm glad I found this. I'm old enough that I remember seeing Epic and Falling to Pieces on MTV, but that's all I ever knew of them. I recently went back and decided to listen to The Real Thing then I found Angel Dust. I didn't like AD at first, but it's grown on me immensely to where I've listened to it just about every day for the last month so it's good to get their history from someone who obviously cares and is well informed. Good job!
Great job on this doc. After reading the book "Small Victories" I didn't think I could learn much new stuff from a video, but I learned quite a bit. Your opinions are really solid too.
I remember seeing Epic on Super Channel (or MTV) and being intrigued, and then Falling to Pieces blowing my mind after. The Real Thing was the first cd I ever bought. I literally destroyed that disc. I then bought Introduce Yourself, and despite Chuck not being as awesome as Mike I loved that one as well thanks to amazing tracks like Faster Disco, Anne's Song and Chinese Arithmetic (and ofcourse We Care A Lot). Angel Dust then followed and I loved that too, although I never thought it to be better than The Real Thing. I loved some tracks of theirs after that like Evidence, Ashes to Ashes and Stripsearch, but to me FNM will always be those 3 albums. Thanks for this great video, you got me hooked from the beginning until the end...... great job!
I cant stop seeing Edward Norton (History X) & nearly Tyler Durden over his right shoulder. This is what they need to hear to get into or back into Faith No More. The people need to know about this band. Nice video thanks.
awesome video! the real thing used to always be my fav Mike Patton with the more nasel voice. but as I got older I loved the other albums more and king for a day ended up being my fav they were just incredable!
Weird to name a bunch of Andy Wallace's credits, but no mention of Nevermind. Even stranger then to immediately mention that Roddy didn't contribute much because he was depressed by Cobains' death.
Have written it before but will reiterate. Am a writer and 'The Real Thing' made me finally finally finally sit down with it blasting out of our stereo in west end Toronto, and write write write my guts out. Thank you forever for inspiring me to get off of my lazy arsh and write.
AWESOME retrospect and I agree COMPLETELY that Mike Patton's voice is under appreciated. His vocal on "Ashes to Ashes" would win anyone over, and YES Anthony Kiedis is a self absorbed TOOL
Great job dude. Awesome info. I love FNM and MB. And a lot of the Mike patton’s bands and projects, also contributions with other artists such as Sepultura all the way to Bjork. This was a great youtube piece that I liked. Take care man.
Great video! I just read a great f.n.m. book. This ties right into it. The band went through alot to accomplish so much! I was fortunate enough to see them live on their reunion tour. Legendary! Great musicians! So unique!
Dont forget the new wave, gothic influence. you can hear it throughout their entire catalogue. Especially on the forst two records. Listen to Killing Joke's Wardance and pills for breakfast.
I traveled from Greenland to Denmark to attend Mr. Bungle at Copenhell and it was such a great show, great performance, would love to see more. Also, I like your video
I know it's a year later, but I wish you would have shown a clip of Mike Patton imitating Anthony Kiedis. He killed it! Kiedis had every right to be jealous. Maybe the best RHC you'll hear.
Definitely worthwhile owning all the Faith No More LPs! 'We Care A Lot' 'Introduce Yourself' 'The Real Thing' 'Angel Dust' 'King For A Day...Fool For A Lifetime' 'Album Of The Year' 'Sol Invictus'
I remember when I was 14 years old, me and a friend found the tape "We Care A Lot" at a music store. The album art was so bleak and ominous, as well as the song titles. Of course I bought it. When we listened to it, we thought it was something of the occult or from another dimension. I'm now 45, still have the tape, and it's my favorite Faith No More album.
Haven’t listened to faith no more in about 10 years until I put TRT on a couple of days ago. The album blew mind all over again and I can’t believe I left them on the shelf for so long. Gonna give Sol Invictus a listen tomorrow.
I can't remember where exactly I read something about FNM (could have been Spin or Alternative Press, who knows), but expanding up on your comment of their uniqueness - "A group that defined the Alternative genrea and simeltaneously defied it." Never got a chance to see them during the 90's sadly and almost had a chance to see them when they were supposed to play a local radio music festival in September of 2020...... Thanks, Covid. However, I did see Mike live back in 2005 in Atlanta on one of his side projects you didn't mention- Peeping Tom. Their one solitary debut album is absolutely phenomenal. A lot more of that blending of genres and styles.
Angel Dust is an incredibly guitar heavy album, despite everything else going on that is perfection, the RIFFS are dope. I really like your take on FNM generally. I've got personal favorites like everyone, I think through all of the chaos and tripping down stairs at times with line up changes etc. there's not a single misstep imo. Anyhow, Celtic Frost is pronounced with a hard 'C'. I disagree with very little you have to say.… That's rare when anyone does a retrospective on these guys. Well done.
Every album they did starting with The Real Thing is pure gold. It's great to see a complete review of them all. BTW, I'm 58 and they are still my favourite band.
I heard a couple songs on the radio in the summer of 89 and read a glowing review in at least one magazine, so I got The Real Thing on cassette before my junior year of high school. I was utterly blow away. I couldn't get anyone to listen to it, though. A year later, Epic was huge and everyone wanted to borrow that cassette. That was the only time in my life I was ever cool. They didn't ask to borrow Angel Dust.
Saw FNM open for Metallica in 1989, Cal Expo Amphitheater in Sacramento CA. Both bands kicked ass (duh!). The gig was supposed to happen the day before, but I had a wedding to go to and wasn't going to make it to the show. It ended up raining (in Sept! during a wedding!!), but the gig got moved back a day and I went. It still rained during the show, but not as bad. Patton made the crowd curse God for the rain, and we happily did. James came out and played War Pigs with them, all smiles and hair😅. NoCal was a good place to be in that era for both bands (Mr Bungle and Primus, too). LOTS of "local" gigs for them.
Sol IS the greatest come back album ever! If there is a better come back , I wanna know about it. I saw them on the Sol tour in Atlanta , they are one of the top two bands I have seen live ( I have seen a lot ) Only two bands I have seen in my time actually sound far better than a recording can accomplish . FNM is one of the two. If anyone is interested in what the other band was, feel free to ask.

Great vid bro, well presented, done a brilliant job
lol fuck that I love Nu-metal and Pantera it all has it's a place and pretending otherwise is fucking horse shit
I respect Jim so much for sticking it out despite his position. He left us with one of the greatest metal masterpieces "jizzlobber". Thank you jim.
Surprise! You're Dead! is the the best song on The Real Thing. Miss that guy.
@@jeffreycoy It's good, but the title track is definitely the best song on The Real Thing.
I looovvve Jim too. Pretty much.. but not absolutely sure Billy wrote both of those songs.
@@jeffreycoy let's not forget RnR
@@stewartwilliams144 Trey Spruance's guitar playing was way better than Jim's anyway
Angel Dust blew my teenage mind back in 1992 when I first bought it. It's one of those rare albums that STILL blows my mind every time I hear it
“Patton sounds like spongebob”
Man I can’t unhear it now
I met some of the band after their Glasgow, Scotland gig back in the day when TRT had just came out.

Feel ya bud. I'm 40. Loved FNM since I first heard them aged 11! My daughter is named Faith after them.
Late to the comment party but 47 and right there with ya.
Death march
Faith No More is so great that it's a tragedy that there's no other music like it. Where did it come from? From out of nowhere.
Very punny
What about Mr. Bungle?
@@astralandreid no, faith no more is like Mr bungle amd not vice versa, well it turned out that way anyway
@@jeremyrobertson7267 Well, obviously :)
Dillinger Escape Plan's more accessible material comes pretty close. I have a playlist that might convince...
Angel Dust...masterpiece. thanks for the video. Great job.
I've loved the albums after but still miss Jim's playing
nicely done my man, a perfect band for a retrospective... the nod to Pristina was an enjoyable bonus for a well-done presentation --- thank you!
Thanks! I'd like to add...

Q: "what made you want to be in a band?"
chuck: "bat-man"

Dude this is a great retrospective. You won me over as a subscriber when you went off on Anthony kiedis. Right on man!
I named my first child after Mike Patton...Michael Patton Cason. Just use the does have the best vocal range and knows how to use it!!! Amazing!!!!
Thanks a lot for this. You can tell this was a real labor of love by a true fan. Your assessments are accurate & with a good amount of humor to boot. Very well put together, really enjoyable. Respect dude \m/ FNM forever
Just wanted to say thank you. This video got me into the band, Patton has to be one of the best singers currently alive
Glad to hear it

Stripsearch and Last Cup of Sorrow are so underrated.

I searched “Faith No More history” and this video popped up. Glad it did. Well done. Album of the Year is actually my favorite. Thanks for the video!
The gentle art of making enemies is genius. Great video. New sub!
Nobody ever mentions “Last To Know” off KFAD. I guess it gets over shadowed by just a man but damn.... it’s so powerfully moving. Guess I’m the only human that feels that way tho.
It felt a bit like a sound garden cover somehow.
King for a day is a killer album
Last To Know was a great track!
I always wondered what that song was about because it seemed to be refencing something specific. It dawned on me it is about leaving/abandonment. What grows on trees but never blooms? Leaves!
Same here man
I really enjoyed the retrospective. Well done!!!

What a fkn stacked lineup. I'd give anything to cop a DeLorean, go back in time & catch a show from that tour
Nice work, very informative. Love FNM and their diversity of music genres.

This is a phenomenally astute and incisive analysis. Brilliant work bro.
We are definitely on the same page regarding the Chuck stuff. This is a great video man! Thanks for taking the time to make it!
Epic is one of the radio hits I will never skip.
"King For A Day" (the song) was the peak for sure. Unbelievable track.
This is the best party Ive ever been to
A ridiculously great song. Smooth.
This stuff is why I love youtube recommendations
As the worms turn is all time FNM hidden gem

Well thought out retrospective on an incredible band. BTW, Sunny Side Up is about taking acid in the morning ;)
I was blessed to have seen these guys many times on tour - a band like no other 🤘
Unique and influential.
That was great man! A ton of work here, props! You "care a lot" and it shows 🤘
Lordy lord lord! Every time we see Mike in this excellent doc we see his intense eyes. I thought it was just a thing for concerts as in possibly drug induced.

"The Real thing" was a huge influence on me when it came out, but I loved MC Hammer too, went to his concert in 1990 haha.
Great video. Well put together. Made me subscribe. Chinese Arithmetic is my favorite Mosley era. Angel dust is my favorite Patton album
My last time I ever did acid, it kicked in driving the Grapevine at sunrise in LA as Helpless exploded in my ears. Fuck sake it was majestic...
So well done ! I'm literally blown away at how great this was. I'm a die hard FNM / Mike Patton fan and you are fucking outstanding! Subbed immediately.
Welcome aboard
Best band ever possibly, along with Rush and the manics. I named my daughter after them! Whatever sound a band has, be it slipknot, system, linkin park, Korn etc, FNM did it first. It took me a while to appreciate 'easy' untill I got older and I was done with partying, then I understood. I just couldn't stand the pain. Thirty years after I first heard them I still require some faith to function.
I'm glad I found this. I'm old enough that I remember seeing Epic and Falling to Pieces on MTV, but that's all I ever knew of them. I recently went back and decided to listen to The Real Thing then I found Angel Dust. I didn't like AD at first, but it's grown on me immensely to where I've listened to it just about every day for the last month so it's good to get their history from someone who obviously cares and is well informed. Good job!
Dude I appreciate this so much, what an amazing video. I just need to say Star A.D. is one of my favorite songs, don't hate lol.
It’s a great song no doubt!
Mine too
Great job on this doc. After reading the book "Small Victories" I didn't think I could learn much new stuff from a video, but I learned quite a bit. Your opinions are really solid too.
I remember seeing Epic on Super Channel (or MTV) and being intrigued, and then Falling to Pieces blowing my mind after. The Real Thing was the first cd I ever bought. I literally destroyed that disc. I then bought Introduce Yourself, and despite Chuck not being as awesome as Mike I loved that one as well thanks to amazing tracks like Faster Disco, Anne's Song and Chinese Arithmetic (and ofcourse We Care A Lot). Angel Dust then followed and I loved that too, although I never thought it to be better than The Real Thing. I loved some tracks of theirs after that like Evidence, Ashes to Ashes and Stripsearch, but to me FNM will always be those 3 albums. Thanks for this great video, you got me hooked from the beginning until the end...... great job!
Thank you for this. My favourite band in high school! I know these songs back to front but this is very informative. Thank you.
I cant stop seeing Edward Norton (History X) & nearly Tyler Durden over his right shoulder. This is what they need to hear to get into or back into Faith No More. The people need to know about this band. Nice video thanks.
awesome video! the real thing used to always be my fav Mike Patton with the more nasel voice. but as I got older I loved the other albums more and king for a day ended up being my fav they were just incredable!
Weird to name a bunch of Andy Wallace's credits, but no mention of Nevermind. Even stranger then to immediately mention that Roddy didn't contribute much because he was depressed by Cobains' death.
Even Bottum would admit he's not as prominent of a presence on KFAD.
Have written it before but will reiterate. Am a writer and 'The Real Thing' made me finally finally finally sit down with it blasting out of our stereo in west end Toronto, and write write write my guts out. Thank you forever for inspiring me to get off of my lazy arsh and write.
AWESOME retrospect and I agree COMPLETELY that Mike Patton's voice is under appreciated. His vocal on "Ashes to Ashes" would win anyone over, and YES Anthony Kiedis is a self absorbed TOOL
Great job dude. Awesome info. I love FNM and MB. And a lot of the Mike patton’s bands and projects, also contributions with other artists such as Sepultura all the way to Bjork. This was a great youtube piece that I liked. Take care man.
I just wanted to say I saw your retrospective on the Misfits and now about Faith No More. Thank you. My two all time favourite bands.
Sonic Temple has a gooood looking Friday this year 😏
Great video! I just read a great f.n.m. book. This ties right into it. The band went through alot to accomplish so much! I was fortunate enough to see them live on their reunion tour. Legendary! Great musicians! So unique!
Great stuff here, very educational about my favorite band. Thanks man.
Great summary of a, nearly, impossible band to summarize! Great work!!
I love the first 2 album's with chuck
Dont forget the new wave, gothic influence. you can hear it throughout their entire catalogue. Especially on the forst two records.
Listen to Killing Joke's Wardance and pills for breakfast.
damn yes. puffy was a big fan of killing joke. listen to chinese arithmetic, please is almost the same drum base than love of the masses!
I traveled from Greenland to Denmark to attend Mr. Bungle at Copenhell and it was such a great show, great performance, would love to see more. Also, I like your video
I know it's a year later, but I wish you would have shown a clip of Mike Patton imitating Anthony Kiedis.
He killed it! Kiedis had every right to be jealous.
Maybe the best RHC you'll hear.
Definitely worthwhile owning all the Faith No More LPs!
'We Care A Lot'
'Introduce Yourself'
'The Real Thing'
'Angel Dust'
'King For A Day...Fool For A Lifetime'
'Album Of The Year'
'Sol Invictus'
I remember when I was 14 years old, me and a friend found the tape "We Care A Lot" at a music store. The album art was so bleak and ominous, as well as the song titles. Of course I bought it. When we listened to it, we thought it was something of the occult or from another dimension. I'm now 45, still have the tape, and it's my favorite Faith No More album.
Haven’t listened to faith no more in about 10 years until I put TRT on a couple of days ago. The album blew mind all over again and I can’t believe I left them on the shelf for so long. Gonna give Sol Invictus a listen tomorrow.
I love your videos on FNM man, very original content. Keep it up!
Glad you like them!
I really enjoyed your take on their retrospective.
Dude…I love Pantera. I’m also getting to know more about faith no more and mr. bungle…I’m a late bloomer! Thanks for this awesome doc!!
Dude. You’re fucking rad. This coming from a gen x er. You’re commentary is spot on . Way to go
I can't remember where exactly I read something about FNM (could have been Spin or Alternative Press, who knows), but expanding up on your comment of their uniqueness -
"A group that defined the Alternative genrea and simeltaneously defied it."
Never got a chance to see them during the 90's sadly and almost had a chance to see them when they were supposed to play a local radio music festival in September of 2020......
Thanks, Covid.
However, I did see Mike live back in 2005 in Atlanta on one of his side projects you didn't mention- Peeping Tom. Their one solitary debut album is absolutely phenomenal. A lot more of that blending of genres and styles.
Thank you for this amazing video! Well done!
Thanks for taking the time to do this. Shed light on a band I always loved but never knew much about.
No problem!
Angel Dust is an incredibly guitar heavy album, despite everything else going on that is perfection, the RIFFS are dope. I really like your take on FNM generally. I've got personal favorites like everyone, I think through all of the chaos and tripping down stairs at times with line up changes etc. there's not a single misstep imo. Anyhow, Celtic Frost is pronounced with a hard 'C'. I disagree with very little you have to say.… That's rare when anyone does a retrospective on these guys. Well done.
Every album they did starting with The Real Thing is pure gold. It's great to see a complete review of them all.
BTW, I'm 58 and they are still my favourite band.
I heard a couple songs on the radio in the summer of 89 and read a glowing review in at least one magazine, so I got The Real Thing on cassette before my junior year of high school. I was utterly blow away. I couldn't get anyone to listen to it, though. A year later, Epic was huge and everyone wanted to borrow that cassette. That was the only time in my life I was ever cool.
They didn't ask to borrow Angel Dust.
Really good stuff here, bud. Nice work.
Thanks, man.
This was so much fun to watch. I have stuff to do today but can’t find the right moment to put it down.
Saw FNM open for Metallica in 1989, Cal Expo Amphitheater in Sacramento CA. Both bands kicked ass (duh!). The gig was supposed to happen the day before, but I had a wedding to go to and wasn't going to make it to the show. It ended up raining (in Sept! during a wedding!!), but the gig got moved back a day and I went. It still rained during the show, but not as bad. Patton made the crowd curse God for the rain, and we happily did. James came out and played War Pigs with them, all smiles and hair😅. NoCal was a good place to be in that era for both bands (Mr Bungle and Primus, too). LOTS of "local" gigs for them.
That was brilliant, thank you for making that.
Every album they have done is gold. Mike Patton is fkn great. Love the shirt to u have good taste in music
I loved Angel Dust since i was 16 yrs old. It tripped me out
I spent the 90s tripping and listening to FNM
Sol IS the greatest come back album ever! If there is a better come back , I wanna know about it. I saw them on the Sol tour in Atlanta , they are one of the top two bands I have seen live ( I have seen a lot ) Only two bands I have seen in my time actually sound far better than a recording can accomplish . FNM is one of the two. If anyone is interested in what the other band was, feel free to ask.
@@juanvaldez5422 i know im 6 months late, but still curious to know what the other band was
@@aqilmuqri5777 the spice girls.
Great video thanks! FNM, just... the best ever.
Good insight to one of the best bands of all time, well done. FNM for ever.
