The Mike Patton /Faith No More Thread

“I don’t know how people perceive my music, and I don’t honestly care,” states Mike
Patton bluntly. “If you give that notion a moment’s thought, you’ll quickly realise
it would be like fighting a losing battle. I learned that very early on. You just can’t win.”

In depth interview from 1991 here. https://pattonfans.wordpress.com/2014/01/02/en-acervo-kerrang-issue-876-mike-patton-interview-1991/

Are Reprise, the record label Peeping Tom are signed to, expecting a string of hits?

Mike: “They were until they dropped me recently! The world of majors is so fickle.
Maybe 10 years ago I would have gone ballistic. But I’ve grown up and figured that
if that’s the world I live in, I have to accept it. I’ve gone back to the drawing
board and we’re talking to a bunch of labels. We’re recording now
because I can’t sit on this egg much longer. I’ve got too much to do to be waiting around.”

One of my fave lyrical masterpieces of all time here :

Back and forth, I sway with the wind
Resolution slips away again
Right through my fingers, back into my heart
Where it's out of reach and it's in the dark
Sometimes I think I'm blind
Or I may be just paralyzed
Because the plot thickens every day
And the pieces of my puzzle keep crumbling away
But I know there's a picture beneath
Indecision clouds my vision
No one listens
Because I'm somewhere in between
My love and my agony
You see, I'm somewhere in between
My life is falling to pieces
Somebody put me together
Layin' face down on the ground
My fingers in my ears to block the sound
My eyes shutting tight to avoid the sight
Anticipating the end, losing the will to fight
Droplets of "yes" and "no" in an ocean of "maybe"
From the bottom, it looks like a steep incline
From the top, another downhill slope of mine
But I know, the equilibrium's there
Indecision clouds my vision
No one listens
Because I'm somewhere in between
My love and my agony
You see, I'm somewhere in between
My life is falling to pieces
Somebody put me together
Back and forth, I sway with the wind
Resolution slips away again
Right through my fingers, back into my heart
Where it's out of reach and it's in the dark
Sometimes I think I'm blind
Or I may be just paralyzed
Because the plot thickens every day
And the pieces of my puzzle keep crumbling away
But I know, there's a picture beneath
Indecision clouds my vision
No one listens
Because I'm somewhere in between
My love, my agony
You see, I'm somewhere in between
My life is falling to pieces
Somebody put me together
Between my love and my agony
You see, I'm somewhere in between
My life is falling to pieces
Somebody put me together (between)
Somebody put me together (between)
Somebody put me together (between)
Whoa-oh-oh-oh (my life is falling to pieces)

Well, tbf to the guys, they'd been on the road since the previous year. Just UK / Europe alone they did summer 1989 then the autumn. Jan 1990 another full UK tour. Then again in April 1990. Then ALL the festivals in the summer of 1990. I mean, that's not even counting USA, Canada, Australia. They were knackered and fed-up, I think. So they were a bit crap. The April gigs were crap, also, tbh. London Records just worked them into the ground.
