agreed...i even read a comment on YT that they bought one of their VHS videos at a garage sale for like 2 bucks and became a huge fan after watching it..best 2 dollar purchase ever
MY favourite is "Sense of security, Like jingeling of keys" It feels like a reference that we try to find someone for the sake of feeling real. Like we have to find a relationship to validate that we are human. I could really relate with that for my 20s and 30s, like theres a blueprint to life: Marriage, House, Kids and there is a finite time to get it. So, when I was in my 20s and 30s, this song resonated to my anxiety of checking off that list. Today, as a single non-kid haver, I hear it as a tongue-in-cheek anthem to the rejection of that expectation. I drank again.
Having been there, it wasn't everything, but only because we didn't see. Still, there were a lot of people like us who thought whaaat... In a good way.
Unlike some of the other commenters, I was not alive when this came out. I have only recently begun to get into Mike Patton’s discography, starting with Mr.Bungle, Fantomas, Tomahawk and ofc Faith No More. Just a reminder, that new generations are finding this music for the first time, and loving it too! I have been sharing this stuff with all my friends, so we sing and jam along, even tho we weren’t there when it was popular. We are trying our best to keep it alive. Edit: wow this blew up. So. First of all, I do NOT think all or even most modern music is trash, I listen to new music every day, and you should too. If you love music, you should never stop finding new things to love, there is so much out there, waiting for you!! And to everyone leaving old school recs in the comments, not to be rude, but I have literally already listened to all of them before you mentioned them lol, Bc they are classics of course. I appreciate the thought but I am going to need some deeper cuts, so all you weirdo music nerds out there, please give me some sauce. I am a veteran avant garde art rocker now. Thanks for making this comment blow up tho lol, love sharing my passion with others, glad to see it being recognized. And ig I will give a rec of my own: Zeal and Ardor. They are a black metal RnB fusion band. I have never heard anything like it. If you like the wild and unexpected, check them out.
Good for you. They were great times for music. Miss them. Remember buying Cherub Rock on 12 inch, which was an eye opener at 17. Also seeing Nirvana on Top of the Pops in the UK with teen spirit.
I have been blessed to see Faith No More 5 times live. Their music was the fusion of heavy metal and punk rock that satisfied my soul down to its itty bitty pieces.
@@stewartyt8504 I talked to Jesus and he said something about not being able to listen to good music in Hell. He said something about being able to listen to Netanyahu speeches if that is your cup of tea.
Big song in my childhood and even up to now. Masterpiece of a song in GTA San Andreas and Tony Hawk's Underground 2 and literally just as a song by an insanely good band.
I’m not a gamer but sounds like they had some great music programming going on in those games because I’ve heard quite a few people mention that’s where they know old skool tracks from..Faith No More were amazing

@Jarfg well then check out sum other mike patton n other incredible musicians music like tomahawk the rest is up to you to find.... be well n enjoi....
Such an underrated band. It pisses me off that they are considered a 1-hit wonder (Epic or We care a lot) when everything they have put out is gold. Mike Patton has the most amazing vocal range.
And I can't think of his name grrffff. But UGLY KID JOE has it all stitches up solid in the coolest kinda way too. Maybe it's the uniqness but more likely the range and awesome was if putting lyrics together. ROCK ON 😎😎
I remember throughout the '90s how "Epic" became essentially the only FNM song played on the radio. But after the Internet started having music video sites in the early 2000s (this was several years before UA-cam), I caught "Midlife Crisis" and I realized I'd heard it on the radio all the way back in the early '90s, when I was still in my teens. It had a massive feeling of familiarity, as I'd vaguely remembered the song in my head for years but up to then had never been quite able to figure out what it was or where I'd heard it. The concept of One Hit Wonders has always been something of a myth. Most of the bands that the term gets applied to actually had multiple hits, it's just that one song comes to overshadow the rest so that gradually, the radio ultimately stops playing any of the others, so people begin assuming incorrectly that that was the band's only hit.
@@R1Armadill0 Epic was a great song, but Gawd was it overplayed!! From that album, I would say the title track was their best work, and their cover of War Pigs is legendary. Surprise! You're Dead is another killer track (pun intended) filled with raw aggression. The singles were good but not as good as the rest of the album.
Perfection is..........my 10 year old daughter singing this song in her best Mike Patton voice. I love that she learnt the lyrics and now loves FNM as much as I do.
I am South Korean living in Seoul, and I was at Washington DC 1997 through 2001 went 930 club over 50 times, and I went FANTOMAS AND MR BUNGLE SHOWS but missed FNM show...WHICH THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME!!! Dear MIKE PATTON THE Legend! could you please come to south Korea Seoul for a show??? Love to see you live !! Cheers from Seoul! FAITH NO MORE IS THE BEST IN HISTORY TOTALLY ROCKS THE WORLD!!! Dear Mike We took photos together after Fantosmas show at 930club, maybe you don't remember me but I remember the best memories meeting you in person!!
Juan Isidro Acevedo Axl Rose has a 5 octave 2 1/2 note range, Patton's is 6 octaves and 1/2 note. The person with the widest vocal range is Tim Storms with 10 octaves.
TheCryptCrusader No worries mate. There may be a handful of unknowns on the planet that have a wider range than Patton, but they weren't in Mr Bungle, so they don't get to be 'The Greatest Singer of All Time.'
@@teeganw5945 I like Brandon's voice also but he doesn't hit the octaves that Mike has. Not many do. Mariah Carey, Axel Rose, Steven Tyler. David Bowie, Prince and Jeff Tate of Queensryche are known to be at the 6-7 octave range. Oh and Christina Aguilera
1992. Twenty years old. We knew nothing, so we didn't worry. Grinding out Monday through Friday. Partying Friday night till Sunday afternoon. Who needed sleep? Or save fucking money. We ate between two beers, or didn't eat at all. Headbanging till 6am, no videos, no cell phones. Everyone was in the moment. Meeting new friends every weekend. Always a crush on someone. We never wanted to be like our parents. Fuck authority, we were going to live forever, invincible. Kurt Cobain, Eddie Vedder, Chris Cornell, Layne Staley, Mike Patton were our prophets. Then Kurt blew his head off and we were offered a job in a bank. Kids, live like there's no tomorrow. Because there isn't.
I'm a little younger (mid 30's now) but Your comment really moved me... 100% true.Last sentence - I said it many times to my 20 y.o. brother but he always looks at me like at a freek... :) Take care M8! (sorry for my English)
Summer of 1992. Back when MTV played videos. This gem debuted, and my mind was blown. I've always loved the bass by FNM, and of course Mike's voice, but the simple rif during the refrain was also satisfying. The storytelling in this video was...haunting. It quickly became my favorite video, even moreso than the most requested "Wherever I May Roam," and "November Rain." That was a great Summer for new music!!
With dirt that year also. But it can’t hold a candle to fall of 1991. Off on a tangent, can you imagine kids now saying remember spring of 2023, what a time for music. lol
I remember watching this on LSD... listening to this album on LSD... Didn't get to try angeldust, PCP, until 2018 Not what I expected to be honest 🤷🏼♀️
Far as this video, can't go wrong with Kevin Kerslake! Also directed Nirvana's Come As You Are and Filter's Hey Man, Nice Shot. Great director, to say the least!
So gta san andreas just licensed all the best rock songs of 90s, for us then 15 years old gamers in hopes we will like the game and tell our friends about it. Rockstar you rock, you did all this for us. Thanks
I am so grateful for being a teen in the 90’s. Best days of my life. Being a passenger in the car with this song blasting so loud the windows were shaking. Cruising to the beach. God I miss those days. 😢😢
I was born in 92 and I can't tell you enough how jealous I am to not have been a teen in the 90s. As time goes on we lose the special things that we took for granted and it's just sad how life evolved into the shit show we have today. I can't stand rap music it's so fake.
sometime in 1992 spent a few weeks in hospital, which, believe it or not, turned out to be 2 of the best months of my life lol. but during quiet times, when I wasn't doing things like raiding the hospital canteens storage nicking packets of crisps and cans of coke etc, or having wheelchair races around the grounds (im actually a wheelchair user)I could be found sitting on my bed with my walkman on and a bag of cassettes at my side. The Album this was off was a regular one to listen to. funny what can be a good memory isn't it.
+xneverwalkalonex, Love this story. In '92 I was 16 years old and went on a trip to Europe with my best friend and some other schoolmates. Travelled to France, Switzerland, Germany (not England tho, :/). I also had this on cassette, blasting it on my Walkman constantly. Had it on one of those blank cassettes that you coukld fit an entire album on one side: Angel Dust on one side and Alice In Chains' Dirt on the other! One of the best time of my life.You a Liverpool fan? Me too. Big game tomorrow!! Hope you're in good health these days. Cheers, mate from the USA. YNWA.
+Michael Boylan i was 17 in 92. If there is one year i'll never forget its that one, left school, went to hospital, then started college. I'm from Oldham near Manchester so Oldham Athletic are my first team, but Liverpool have always been my second, loved being there when Oldham played them in the FA cup and won. Having steven Gerrard walk right past us on his way to take a corner was a highlight lol. xneverwalkalonex is more to do with me being a wheelchair user though, my brain thought it was funny,

I'm 43 now, and I grew up on Faith No More. It never gets old. Patton's vocals, the musical arrangements, and production values... too good to ever forget.
I used to play this tune everyday on my Walkman on the hour bus ride to school, Wales uk, cold, wet and dark, this and rage, nivarna, and chilli's keep me going ❤️
@@cindymoss4082 is on wiki. Taylor saw footage of FNM's MTV Music video awards 1990 performance and it inspired him to keep on truckin n level up with his creativity! :-) .
oh my god thats bad ass...saved by music...to be honest i'm having a midlife crisis now.. i'm turning 40 next month... yiiiikes... i've been listening to FNM and slipknot which is a strange combo, also mudvayne's ld50 and static X... i'm a huge heavy metal fan now.
This song was a banger back in the day I remember I was living in San fierro after getting a crappy garage out there that I won in a street race out in the sticks. It wasn’t much but my family helped my turn it into a business and this song used to always come on the radio it helped me get through some tough times good ol 90s rock
I saw Faith no more twice, two shows in Moscow,yeah i'm russian and i grew up on this music..i fucking love it and i'm proud of that.. And fuck the politicians! I still love Mike Patton vocals and i'll be!!!
Anyone else think the synths in this song are the most underrated aspect of it? They’re just perfect. I’ve always loved FNM for that signature synth sound, it’s such an important (but subtle) part of their music
This track is “Falling to pieces” younger brother….Two of my favorite Faith No More tracks….Insanely powerful and classy band..Metal Funk grunge pop fusion musical masterpieces that sound even better now than back then..No one ever disses on Faith No More.
I remember when I was a kiddo I'd blast this in my then-Walkman while swinging in a tree swing. 'Midlife Crisis' and you're like 12 years old. But it was so fitting. I play music now because of these guys.

Usually I don't care much about music videos, but... The image of the man pulled in 4 different directions by horses is one of the most profoundly powerful images I've ever seen. Brilliant.
Angel dust still sounds fresh today. It’s a fucking master piece
It was first CD I bought ( '95 or '97)and I still listening it
Mind bending alienlike masterpiece bro.
Greatest album ever made imo.
agreed...i even read a comment on YT that they bought one of their VHS videos at a garage sale for like 2 bucks and became a huge fan after watching it..best 2 dollar purchase ever
Phenomenal record and Album of the Year hit hard too. The lyrics are great and the music is on point. They were ahead of their time really.
Their music ages well.
"You're perfect yes it's true.
But without me you're only you."
That's a killer line.
you are a thinker beyond your years, little one.
The lyrics to nearly every song on Angeldust are amazing. Once I started reading Pattons lyrics, my view of what rock music could be was expanded.
Brilliant lyrics.
Hide it from depressed Instagram kids
MY favourite is
"Sense of security,
Like jingeling of keys"
It feels like a reference that we try to find someone for the sake of feeling real. Like we have to find a relationship to validate that we are human. I could really relate with that for my 20s and 30s, like theres a blueprint to life: Marriage, House, Kids and there is a finite time to get it.

"is.."
Caffeine imo
People who call this band 'underrated' weren't around when this came out.
It was everything
sadly were outshined by the peppers that's why I think people consider their music underrated.
you right but in present people just know metallica as a heavy metal genre. thats so fucking sad.
There was nothing else like it then, and nothing else like it since.
Having been there, it wasn't everything, but only because we didn't see. Still, there were a lot of people like us who thought whaaat... In a good way.
One hit wonder! lolz
One day just typed my name on search bar. Corrector showed: Did you mean "Mike Patton". Then became big fan of this guy.
XD
That's awesome dude
oh, you lucky guy, you
Then you got schooled on his greatness!
Great story man 👌🏻
Patton was a genius. This band is one of the most underrated groups of all time.
Was?!
Is
IS....OF ALL TIME
How are Faith No More underrated?!
Is present tense you have no idea this dude is a busy beaver, love the covid sessions at the library
Patton's vocals are actually insane. Just the delivery, tone, range and command he has. Unreal
He just gets better with age, I swear it’s true.
You're not wrong
Yup
I completely agree and this entire album is possibly the best aged album of the past 40 years anyway. Just pure brilliance.
One very talented and yet, very underrated and under appreciated individual

And I can't think of his name grrffff. But UGLY KID JOE has it all stitches up solid in the coolest kinda way too. Maybe it's the uniqness but more likely the range and awesome was if putting lyrics together. ROCK ON 😎😎
From Out of Nowhere was a pretty killer tune as well ( at least in my opinion ) .
no way bro. they are well known all the world. It's like saying that Nirvana is a "one hit wonder" ;)
Well they don't have many views on yt, but they are very popular in rock comunnity. I very often hear them in radio
I remember throughout the '90s how "Epic" became essentially the only FNM song played on the radio. But after the Internet started having music video sites in the early 2000s (this was several years before UA-cam), I caught "Midlife Crisis" and I realized I'd heard it on the radio all the way back in the early '90s, when I was still in my teens. It had a massive feeling of familiarity, as I'd vaguely remembered the song in my head for years but up to then had never been quite able to figure out what it was or where I'd heard it.
The concept of One Hit Wonders has always been something of a myth. Most of the bands that the term gets applied to actually had multiple hits, it's just that one song comes to overshadow the rest so that gradually, the radio ultimately stops playing any of the others, so people begin assuming incorrectly that that was the band's only hit.
Don't ask who is listening to this in the year 2023 or 2053 or whatever. This shit lives forever
Who's listening to this with fry in the year 3000 should be the real question xd
Passed it on to the next generation.

Faith No More is one of those legendary bands that is timeless no matter what generation.

Faith No More: the most underrated band of the 90s
Would have been nice if the radio could have played some of their other tunes instead of epic ALLL the time. Cheers!
@@R1Armadill0 Epic was a great song, but Gawd was it overplayed!! From that album, I would say the title track was their best work, and their cover of War Pigs is legendary. Surprise! You're Dead is another killer track (pun intended) filled with raw aggression. The singles were good but not as good as the rest of the album.
As much underrated as the Stray cats of the 1980s
As RHCP fan Mike Patton destroys Anthony keidis
No idiot
Perfection is..........my 10 year old daughter singing this song in her best Mike Patton voice. I love that she learnt the lyrics and now loves FNM as much as I do.
Oh that’s awesome!😁👍
Awesomeness
working on it as week
10/10 Parent
Very good.
I'm 52...I remember when this was a hit 29 years ago
53😊 I saw them live in Lisbon twice ❤
😊 PROUD TO HAVE SUNG ALONG WITH HIM IN NEW ZEALAND 🇳🇿 (Dunedin to be precise)
MeeeeTool#
I am South Korean living in Seoul, and I was at Washington DC 1997 through 2001 went 930 club over 50 times, and I went FANTOMAS AND MR BUNGLE SHOWS but missed FNM show...WHICH THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME!!!
Dear MIKE PATTON THE Legend!
could you please come to south Korea Seoul for a show???
Love to see you live !! Cheers from Seoul!
FAITH NO MORE IS THE BEST IN HISTORY TOTALLY ROCKS THE WORLD!!!
Dear Mike
We took photos together after Fantosmas show at 930club, maybe you don't remember me but I remember the best memories meeting you in person!!
I've been totally obsessed with this song out of nowhere for the last few weeks!
Angel Dust, simply an outstanding album
One of my favs
Mike Patton's voice is amazing geez
Lone Wolf Agreed.👌🏻
every single open chord rings out so true, the vocals, and that drum ......lets not forget the keyboards.....abolute genius
He should be a singer
2023 and this song still rock's as much as ever
Fun fact: Mike Patton, the singer of Faith No More has the widest vocal range in rock music.
TheCryptCrusader Almost. Axl Rose is actually the one with the widest range.
I thought that too but Mikes is actually wider. Look it up.
Juan Isidro Acevedo Axl Rose has a 5 octave 2 1/2 note range, Patton's is 6 octaves and 1/2 note. The person with the widest vocal range is Tim Storms with 10 octaves.
You're right actually. I was meaning as in famous singers, but I didn't say that in my comment, my bad.
TheCryptCrusader No worries mate. There may be a handful of unknowns on the planet that have a wider range than Patton, but they weren't in Mr Bungle, so they don't get to be 'The Greatest Singer of All Time.'
So underrated. It's a shame cause you won't find many voices like Mike Patton's.
Nah, this just gas the perfect listeners imo
Brandon Boyd from Incubus has a slightly similar voice! Was definitely influenced by Patton.
@@teeganw5945 I like Brandon's voice also but he doesn't hit the octaves that Mike has. Not many do. Mariah Carey, Axel Rose, Steven Tyler. David Bowie, Prince and Jeff Tate of Queensryche are known to be at the 6-7 octave range. Oh and Christina Aguilera
Patton is arguably the greatest vocalist of all time, certainly of recent times and you are right, FNM are incredibly underrated.
u should watch their detroit show 2015...thats the best midlife crisis performance i ever saw...flawless
1992. Twenty years old. We knew nothing, so we didn't worry. Grinding out Monday through Friday. Partying Friday night till Sunday afternoon. Who needed sleep? Or save fucking money. We ate between two beers, or didn't eat at all. Headbanging till 6am, no videos, no cell phones. Everyone was in the moment. Meeting new friends every weekend. Always a crush on someone. We never wanted to be like our parents. Fuck authority, we were going to live forever, invincible. Kurt Cobain, Eddie Vedder, Chris Cornell, Layne Staley, Mike Patton were our prophets.
Then Kurt blew his head off and we were offered a job in a bank. Kids, live like there's no tomorrow. Because there isn't.
I'm a little younger (mid 30's now) but Your comment really moved me... 100% true.Last sentence - I said it many times to my 20 y.o. brother but he always looks at me like at a freek... :) Take care M8! (sorry for my English)
Bloody rat race. Mid life crisis coming up, indeed.
we live :-D !
fuck yes!
NAILED IT!
Summer of 1992. Back when MTV played videos. This gem debuted, and my mind was blown. I've always loved the bass by FNM, and of course Mike's voice, but the simple rif during the refrain was also satisfying. The storytelling in this video was...haunting. It quickly became my favorite video, even moreso than the most requested "Wherever I May Roam," and "November Rain." That was a great Summer for new music!!
I was 32 back then and the lyrics hit home.
With dirt that year also. But it can’t hold a candle to fall of 1991.
Off on a tangent, can you imagine kids now saying remember spring of 2023, what a time for music. lol
@@ianmason2003 not at all. But maybe it's my middle-aged mind 😁
I remember watching this on LSD... listening to this album on LSD...
Didn't get to try angeldust, PCP, until 2018
Not what I expected to be honest 🤷🏼♀️
Far as this video, can't go wrong with Kevin Kerslake! Also directed Nirvana's Come As You Are and Filter's Hey Man, Nice Shot. Great director, to say the least!
Faith No More brought me here
Chris Cornell, brought me here
Were you able to get some Faith when you dot here?

So gta san andreas just licensed all the best rock songs of 90s, for us then 15 years old gamers in hopes we will like the game and tell our friends about it. Rockstar you rock, you did all this for us. Thanks
Gta san andreas
Radio x songs
this was in GTA?
@@DJWhylafihya I'm pretty sure It wasn't I played the shit out of San Andreas and never heard this song.
It was. It’s ok to be wrong.
@@xXSiNiSteRXx1 it is in san Andreas. Radio X. Heard it a million times and still not sick of it.
“But without me, you’re only you.”
That shit is deep to me..
It's 2020 and it still sends chills down my spine even though it's old enough to have it's own midlife crisis.
Lmao
you bet XD
Being a punk in 80/90´s brought me here.. Faith No More so underrated!!

-Faith No More
Choose one.
Faith no more was never punk
How is that underrated? This band is world famous...
I believe you, your name gives it away.
Thank you Radio X
Got 12 yo me hooked
Ew you really learned about them from gta that must've been recent af cause that song wasnt originally on there
@@spych0367 yawn. Move.
@@spych0367 you gatekeeping?
I love faith no more since I am 14 and still to this day I love his voice and this song. I am 48 now
I am so grateful for being a teen in the 90’s. Best days of my life. Being a passenger in the car with this song blasting so loud the windows were shaking. Cruising to the beach. God I miss those days. 😢😢
I was born in 92 and I can't tell you enough how jealous I am to not have been a teen in the 90s. As time goes on we lose the special things that we took for granted and it's just sad how life evolved into the shit show we have today. I can't stand rap music it's so fake.
true bro...wanna cry....lived that too...been there too...!
Epic Years
@@diavlosinsurance2880 I often cry 😂 If I could transport back in time it would definitely be there 😢 life’s shit now.
The best concert I’ve been to. 1997 Melbourne Australia ❤️❤️
sometime in 1992 spent a few weeks in hospital, which, believe it or not, turned out to be 2 of the best months of my life lol. but during quiet times, when I wasn't doing things like raiding the hospital canteens storage nicking packets of crisps and cans of coke etc, or having wheelchair races around the grounds (im actually a wheelchair user)I could be found sitting on my bed with my walkman on and a bag of cassettes at my side. The Album this was off was a regular one to listen to. funny what can be a good memory isn't it.
+xneverwalkalonex, Love this story. In '92 I was 16 years old and went on a trip to Europe with my best friend and some other schoolmates. Travelled to France, Switzerland, Germany (not England tho, :/). I also had this on cassette, blasting it on my Walkman constantly. Had it on one of those blank cassettes that you coukld fit an entire album on one side: Angel Dust on one side and Alice In Chains' Dirt on the other! One of the best time of my life.You a Liverpool fan? Me too. Big game tomorrow!! Hope you're in good health these days. Cheers, mate from the USA. YNWA.
+Michael Boylan i was 17 in 92. If there is one year i'll never forget its that one, left school, went to hospital, then started college. I'm from Oldham near Manchester so Oldham Athletic are my first team, but Liverpool have always been my second, loved being there when Oldham played them in the FA cup and won. Having steven Gerrard walk right past us on his way to take a corner was a highlight lol. xneverwalkalonex is more to do with me being a wheelchair user though, my brain thought it was funny,
Don't care. One of the best albums I've ever heard. Never gets old.
Ok but wdym "don't care"?
@@Gunner98 as in a way to deter any objections i guess:)
Still sounds fresh these days
Been effing with this song since the summer of 1992 and won't stop til I drop.

Masterpiece 🦢🔥
I listen to a lot of heavy music, grindcore, mathcore, death metal, crust… this song still gets me so fucking hyped.
mike patton's style has been making me explore death metal a lot more and appreciate it more
53 and fell in love with this all over again. Had not heard this since my 20s. Now it makes fkn sense. This is a masterpiece. 🤘
You're perfect yes it's true!
But without me you're only you!

Great friggin line
I'm trying to figure to figure out what this means, can anyone tell me?

@@Like_Whut what you do not have is singing to you
2024 here ... still a great sound
The Real Thing and Angel Dust are two of the greatest rock albums of all time.
Did you say
" angle dust" ????
@@RudyBurgers-z5u Well seeing as my comment is written out in plain English, you can see that I spelled it correctly.
Ingenuity, creativity originality is what really strikes when I listen to this band
LYRICS:
Go on and wring my neck
Like when a rag gets wet
A little discipline
For my pet genius
My head is like lettuce
Go on dig your thumbs in
I cannot stop giving
I'm thirty-something
Sense of security
Like pockets jingling
Midlife crisis
Suck ingenuity
Down through the family tree
You're perfect, yes, it's true
But without me you're only you
You're only you
Your menstruating heart
It ain't bleeding enough for two
It's a midlife crisis
It's a midlife crisis
What an inheritance
The salt and the Kleenex
Morbid self-attention
Bending my pinky back
A little discipline
A donor by habit
A little discipline
Rent an opinion
Sense of security
Holding blunt instrument
Midlife crisis
I'm a perfectionist
And perfect is a skinned knee
You're perfect, yes, it's true
But without me you're only you
You're only you
Your menstruating heart
It ain't bleeding enough for two

Love this song! Still, now that I'm 43, it hits closer to home sometimes...
So you're 46, now?
I'm 43 now, in 2019. FNM forever
43 here to,and yes way closer to home today,we
all had more freedom then,now it is just a joke!
38 bro I fee ya
I'm 43 now, and I grew up on Faith No More. It never gets old. Patton's vocals, the musical arrangements, and production values... too good to ever forget.
listening in 2024 & forever after. Greatest!
Rad! This album is great and Angel.Dust is my favorite FNM album
Same
in this year 2024 i hear it never go away.
I used to play this tune everyday on my Walkman on the hour bus ride to school, Wales uk, cold, wet and dark, this and rage, nivarna, and chilli's keep me going
❤️
This was out during the height of all the killer early 90s rock stuff. Great track.
True, this album berthed Nu-Metal.
Let's always remember that Faith No More talked Corey Taylor out of suicide. GREATEST band of all time.
Never heard of this before ... Props to FNM
You gotta elaborate
@@cindymoss4082 is on wiki. Taylor saw footage of FNM's MTV Music video awards 1990 performance and it inspired him to keep on truckin n level up with his creativity! :-) .
oh my god thats bad ass...saved by music...to be honest i'm having a midlife crisis now.. i'm turning 40 next month... yiiiikes... i've been listening to FNM and slipknot which is a strange combo, also mudvayne's ld50 and static X... i'm a huge heavy metal fan now.
@@kimmyfreak200 if your midlife crisis consists of getting into metal, that’s damn good.
This brings me back to 2004 radio x with sage like if you know what I'm talking bout
Flying helicopter in hot day in the desert switch between kdst and radiox ....memories
lets go to Los Santos
Nah never heard of it, have no idea what you’re talking about, none at all
@@fatbroccoli8 This song was in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. It was on an in-game radio station called "Radio X."
@@Soadownz45 lol I know, I’m joking. It was my favourite radio station
This song was a banger back in the day I remember I was living in San fierro after getting a crappy garage out there that I won in a street race out in the sticks. It wasn’t much but my family helped my turn it into a business and this song used to always come on the radio it helped me get through some tough times good ol 90s rock
half of Korn's career they owe this song
Holy shit Jonathan Davis did rip off Mike Pattons weird guttural vocals!
@@theycallmerisky619😭 sure
The other half is from "Falling to Pieces"
Nah. They've always been open about bungle FTM influence, but they still had their own sound and did their own thing
Faith No More Also Influenced SOAD
Still listening 2024... Who else???
🙌🙌🙌🤘🤘🤘
I do. I don't know what exists nowadays.
One of greatest
🤘🤘right here with you and them in April 2024 🤘🤘
Every year
One of my favourite songs of all time
The drums on this one good set of speakers… Fuck yeah!
I saw Faith no more twice, two shows in Moscow,yeah i'm russian and i grew up on this music..i fucking love it and i'm proud of that.. And fuck the politicians! I still love Mike Patton vocals and i'll be!!!
When I bought Angel Dust I expected The Real Thing II,but it shattered all of my expectations,looking back now I see how that was a good thing.
This song never gets old, and really grows on you :)
Never!💙
I was wandering around 80s-90s music and I remember this song from GTA San Andreas
I absolutely love Angel Dust ✨ Not one bad song on it. Mike and the band are so talented
THANK YOU FAITH NO MORE ! ❤❤❤ ! THIS IS INFINITY !
Man, I feel old. This brings back some memories - child of the 90's here.
Not to mention Jackson during the 1980's...
I feel yea. They just announced a new album after 18 years.
Anyone else think the synths in this song are the most underrated aspect of it? They’re just perfect. I’ve always loved FNM for that signature synth sound, it’s such an important (but subtle) part of their music
Absolutely!!!!!
Roddy is the man
Best album ever 🦢
2:36 harmonies that Mike was using in this period are revolutionary for mainstream stuff
This track is “Falling to pieces” younger brother….Two of my favorite Faith No More tracks….Insanely powerful and classy band..Metal Funk grunge pop fusion musical masterpieces that sound even better now than back then..No one ever disses on Faith No More.
I remember when I was a kiddo I'd blast this in my then-Walkman while swinging in a tree swing. 'Midlife Crisis' and you're like 12 years old. But it was so fitting. I play music now because of these guys.
“And she made us proud, he made us rich “ faith no more had been my everything since 14 yrs old!! Now I’m 45 loving every single track!
How were we to know, she was counterfeit?
If you’re listening to this in 2023 you’re awesome

One of the best faith no more songs ever
Still gives me chills. And in 2024 it still does
I miss these days. Gone forever
