This Is It: The Best Of - Faith No More

King For A Day Fool For A Lifetime - Faith No More

1995 was a turbulent time for Faith No More. Having sacked previous guitarist Jim Martin it was the start of the revolving door syndrome for Faith No More guitarists, rumours were rife that vocalist Mike Patton was heading for pastures old to concentrate on Mr Bungle and indeed, that the entire band was going to call it a day. This coming off the back of an album ‘Angel Dust’ that their record company viewed as commercial suicide after the successful formula established on The Real Thing and to top it all off, they half forgot they had a keyboard player on this, their hardest of albums. Despite, or maybe because, of all this strife, King For A Day is one of ...

There were two things I noticed in this album as well. Patton's influences for this album apart from the fortune ...

Angel Dust - Faith No More

mix of Rap, Funk, Metal and a certain lead singers hair cut (Or rather, hair not cut) lead to comparisons with the Red Hot Chili Peppers and while fans of Faith No More do tend to be fans of the Chili’s and fans of the Chili’s tend to be Faith No More fans, their music isn’t overly similar. Faith No More have something approaching a New Romantic streak in their music, as unlike many bands who get session players in, Faith No More have a full time keyboard player. Think Duran Duran mixed with Metallica and that’s probably the closest image you’ll get without actually hearing their music. Faith No More’s first album with their final ...
