Faith No More - The Real Thing
Maybe my favorite Faith No More and Mike Patton vocal performance ever.
Patton screams, yells, speaks (raps) and sings cleanly throughout the dynamic changes and vocal acrobatics on this track.
I know the feeling
It is the real thing
You can't refuse the embrace...
It's like the pattern below the skin
You gotta reach out and pull it all in
And you feel like you're too close
So you swallow another dose
The pinnacle of happiness
Filling up your soul

Rest in Peace Chuck Mosley (of Faith No More)
Not that I have ever been too attached to the 1st 2 Faith No More albums, although I purchased Introduce Yourself a few years back, on of all formats, cassette tape (and the wife and I ironically just saw the Cassette documentary tonight), and I did like a good amount of it. The vocal style he had, honestly isn't incredibly different from Mike Patton.
And I suppose I likely never fully evaluated it and the music on those 2 albums with Chuck. It's just Patton is just so good, and the songwriting on those 2 albums are, along with most comments about them not being as good as the Patton stuff, kind of shy-ed me away from ever getting too into them.
But it's never too late. Sad to see this, although I recall why he was asked to leave the band and some stuff between him and FNM happened legally/socially. But I guess he reunited with them a few times, and considered some of the members family.
But if this was per addiction/substance abuse, very sad, but I can't say I'm totally surprised. Regardless, this is sad to see, only 57. Rest in Peace.
Also odd, he reminds me a little of Doug Pinnick for some reason. I suspect the 2 of them may have been friends.

It’s with a heavy, heavy heart we acknowledge the passing of our friend and bandmate, Chuck Mosley. He was a reckless and caterwauling force of energy who delivered with conviction and helped set us on a track of uniqueness and originality that would not have developed the way it had had he not been a part. How fortunate we are to have been able to perform with him last year in a reunion style when we re-released our very first record. His enthusiasm, his sense of humor, his style and his bravado will be missed by so many. We were a family, an odd and dysfunctional family, and we’ll be forever grateful for the time we shared with Chuck.

Faith No More: News, new album?; 11/19/14 SINGLE "MOTHERFUCKER" (ALBUM COMING APRIL 2015)
11/19/14 5:01PM
Studio Version of "Motherfucker"streaming per Soundcloud HERE
of course no Embed Code as most well-known artists who-give an exclusive stream to certain websites from their Soundcloud stream are.
Rather catchy; the opening vocals almost doesn't sound like Patton.
in a slightly related note, I saw a newly pressed/issued copy of Angel Dust the other day at Cheapo. $44.99, I passed on it for now, but I may have to do some hunting as it's really the only FNM Vinyl I really want.

RS link/interview
well it's finally happening. April 2015.
"Motherfucker" the single being released on Black Friday Record Store Day as a 7-inch with a b-side.
I'll say it again, this is cool they are (obviously better than no album at all), but if Jim Martin were involved, this would be an even bigger deal.
They have a tour planned around the time:
Though no dates have been booked, the band is planning a full U.S. tour around the album's release. Since their return to the stage in 2009, they've only played five American cities.
A Minnesota date? I would imagine they'd be at XCel or Target Center and tickets would be at least $70 or $80. I'd still have to think about trying to go as I've always wanted to see them.

A new album from them would be welcome and everything, but, I still hold on to the fact it would be even greater if JIM MARTIN were involved.
But beggars can't be choosers I suppose. A new Jellyfish album, tour, or anything would probably mean even more to me, so at least FNM are at where they are compared to the long yet mostly impossible dream of a Jellyfish reunion (or for that matter, Peter Gabriel with Genesis, etc).

Who would have thought, but here we are, 11 years dead and now back...posting news again!! Along with revitalizing the band, we've been working on FNM.COM, and while it is still a work in progress, we also hope it can begin to serve as a main information point regarding tourdates, announcements, confirmations, tshirts...and all things Faith No More. As for now, and thanks to the good folks who created the original fnm.com, this will be functioning as a band run site.
WIth this spirit, we're trying to keep our operation small, the theme of this site as simple as possible. There will be no marketing teams, record labels, PR firms involved in gathering your personal info; hopefully just real info passed along from us to you.
There are lots of things coming up—especially new show announcements—so please try to check in every now and then for the latest. In the meantime, we'll leave you with our official statement:
Faith No More has always stood out as some sort of unique beast; part dog, part cat—its music almost as schizophrenic as the personalities of its members. When it all worked, it worked really well, even if the chemistry was always volatile. Throughout our 17years of existence, the mental and physical energy required to sustain this creature was considerable and relentless. Though amicable enough, when we finally split, we all followed paths seemingly destined to opposite ends of the universe.
Yet during the entire 10 years that have passed since our decision to break up we've experienced constant rumors and requests from fans and promoters alike. Nevertheless, for whatever reason, none of us kept in regular touch, much less to discuss any possibilities of getting together.
What's changed is that this year, for the first time, we've all decided to sit down together and talk about it. And what we've discovered is that time has afforded us enough distance to look back on our years together through a clearer lens and made us realize that through all the hard work, the music still sounds good, and we are beginning to appreciate the fact that we might have actually done something right.
Meanwhile we find ourselves at a moment in time with zero label obligations, still young and strong enough to deliver a kickass set, with enthusiasm to not only revisit our past but possibly add something to the present. And so with this we've decided to hold our collective breaths and jump off this cliff....
BACK, GOD FORBID, INTO THE MONKEY CAGE!!!
We can only hope that the experience of playing together again will yield results erratic and unpredictable enough to live up to the legacy of FNM.
Who know where this will end or what it will bring up...only the future knows. But we are about to find out!
FAITH NO MORE are:
Mike Bordin, Roddy Bottum, Bill Gould, Jon Hudson and Mike Patton

For the Imperium - For the Imperium (2011)
http://www.facebook.com/fortheimperium?v=app_178091127385
1 Ignition
2 Creator
3 California Girl (Born n' Raised)
4 Hero
5 Until the End
6 Die Dead
7 Working Class Heroine
8 Pike River
9 Österbotten
10 Elisa
11 Seek for Help
Wow, this caught me by surprise. This new Finnish Metal band bends genres left and right, and still manages to write songs that are catchy, energetic, tongue-in-cheek and more or less work well.
They will remind people of artists like Protest the Hero and Avenged Sevenfold among some others (System of a Down, Faith No More, Mr.Bungle, Coheed and Cambria), but at least just hearing this album a few times now, the influences are more so just that, rather than exact emulating. Their singer does seem to sound close to Mike Patton on a few of these songs, but I guess his voice in general seems to be his own, or at least not exactly like Patton's, like some other sites have suggested.
It is so late in the year, but I don't care. This could be one of those huge grower records, even in a short time, that I'll look back and think of 2011 (and maybe more likely 2012) for.
