I saw them play after We Care A Lot came out. The band had to stop at one point because the bassist broke 2 strings. A formative rock experience in my teenage years. I've been a sucker for a fat bass my whole life.

As a bass player myself, breaking two strings, let alone one, is nuts lol. Saw them live back in the day and they rocked.

I love FNM but whenever I think of them I think of the time I saw Mike Patton put a mic in his ass and got arrested. I shit you not lol.

He was also known as a “shot terrorist” for a while for pooping in front of other bands dressing rooms.

I regularly listen to the album this song is on from start to finish, but I haven't seen this video since the 90's. Wild times.

I recall seeing something about Mike Patton having freakishly large vocal cords, but I can’t find it through a quick search.

Was never into them. They seemed to try too hard to be the RHCP.

Have you paid any actual attention to their music, or did you just see the film clip for Epic?

Worst take I've seen on Reddit in a long time.

Sooo much that. Just transparently derivative in the most painful fashion possible.

Wow dude, we got some down votes for not liking Faith No More! I'm totally content with that.

I’m 100% okay with that. Just like I’m 100% okay with other people thinking they’re great as long as I don’t have to listen to that crap.

Wut. Mike Patton isn't even from this planet. If you don't like them you don't like them, but derivative is not the adjective to use here. Angel Dust is one of the best albums ever recorded. We won't talk about anything after that though.

Anyone else think it was weird that there was a different vocal mix between the album version and the video?

His vocal range is absolutely amazing. One of the broadest of any active singer. I have Motherfucker on several play lists, along with a bunch of their other songs.

He made an album called “adult themes for voice” that is just him and his voice going all over the map. His band Fantomas basically proves he could voice an entire cartoon series on his own. He’s like [that guy](https://youtu.be/JuKCxmeIQp8?si=zkGpg7NToGVn7MG6) from the police academy movies and Spaceballs that could modulate his voice a million different ways. “Sir, it’s the bleeps, the sweeps, and the creeps”

Billy Gould is a very underrated bass player. This is peak MTV late 80s early 90s. It's weird and colorful and doesn't take its self seriously.

>It's weird and colorful and doesn't take its self seriously. I feel like this describes most Gen-X teen and young adulthood experiences.

I always hoped Reese's would pick up this song for advertising, but apparently E.T. made them enough money on their Pieces.

I still remember Beavis going “Boing-boing-buh-buh-boinnggg” during the intro

It still feels criminal that FNM got eclipsed by the Red Hot Chili Peppers. The former felt more innovative than the latter. (Also, I loved seeing a Godflesh shirt on Mike Patton here.)

The feud he had with Red Hot Chili Peppers was Epic...Pun intended.

Very weird, I’ve been listening to this song for the last 10 days or so after not hearing it for like 15 years. And now this.

Same. I think it came up on our local Indie station recently.

I love the driving rhythm of this song and have always preferred it over Epic. But, everything FNM has done is epic. Mike Patton is a phenomenal vocalist.

The bass and keyboard combo flooded into my brain the second I saw this.

There was a great version of this on Video Croissant where they all dress up as each other.
