Music Faith No More Appreciation Day

Posted by Marjorie Skinner on Mon, Jul 30 at 10:03 AM

Just because for no real reason I rediscovered this song after many years (I may or may not have at one point been arrested while this album was playing) and can’t get it out of my head:

The video is so great. It’s such an epic song, but the video is so gangster. They just grabbed a couple of their nieces and hit one of those booths at amusement parks where you make your own rock video in front of a blue screen. It makes Monday feel better.

Uhhhh, YES. No matter what Mike Patton has done in recent years, FNM will always rank in my top five bands of all time. Especially this album, and especially this song.

Faith No More videos all day long.

BTW, they are also officially the Most Underrated Band OAT.

As if my Monday wasn't already bad enough! There is nothing underrated about Faith No More: this band sucks.

Rob, you're cracked out of your mind. Coming after two decades of shallow, pro-consumerist pop metal, they put out shit like this--an absurd, but totally radio friendly, metal song about the shallowness of consumerism. Brilliant!

Then again, perhaps the most embarrassing period of my young life was when I went around trying to look like Mike Patton. That was a rough freshman year of high school.

BTW, June 8 was the 15th anniversary of the release of Angel Dust.

I'd say any band claiming to be influenced by Faith No More is roughly 3.2X worse than any "shallow, pro-consumerist pop metal" band, and for that, Faith No More is dead to me. Well, that and the fact that their music has zero redeeming qualities.

We agree on one thing--every band they influenced blows hard.

They're still no Mr. Bungle.
