It's over today
The heat is gone
Time is gone

F for fake
I feel no wrong
Hide no wrong

Love this place
The lights

Under this face
So dry

Only way to change
Give yourself away
Don't be ashamed
Next in line
Close one eye
Just walk by

In these days
I'm breathing stone
Crying alone

I'll win this race
I'll leave alone
Arrive alone

Love this place
The lights

Under this face
So dry

Stripped to the bone
I did no wrong
Truth is my name
Give yourself away

F for fake...

Give yourself away...

Not enough FNM or NIN and no Suzerain whatsovever - I'll definitely be submitting a few tunes from this awesome London band!

Okay, I know RP is famous for segues that have an interesting thread in common. But this would be a bit subtle, with the lyrical use of the phrase "hi, hi, hi...", 

I suppose if Cab Calloway's "Hi De Ho" queues up next, then we'll know for sure. :-) 

 
Nope - more prosaic than that... there was that time when Bill and Rebecca did a road trip to Florida and when the local Everglades Police Department saw the California plates they pulled him over, hauled him out and said "Spread your legs dude".

What a day to remember - not going back to that state for no money!

I like grunge, rock, hard rock, all kinds of metal, industrial, electronics... but I never liked FNM, ever. Something in his voice annoys me terribly. :-/

Once again RP introduces me to a killer band (from my hood no less) AND picks one of their best tracks. 

Reminds me of the glory days back in NYC when DJ's . . . RULED.

Mike Patton is still around and has been putting out music prolifically for years now.
Posted 10 years ago by sirdroseph    [ Reply ]
This band is a little special for me because I posed to Epic in a bodybuilding contest once.  Mike Patton is very strange; got a lot of his solo stuff with Mr. Bungle and various collarborations with Brian Eno (has Eno worked with every musician in the world?{#Lol}) and others.

Saw their reunion show a few years ago here in San Francisco.  Whoever was in charge of the sound that night did a horrible job, but it was still a great show, especially when they brought out their original singer, Chuck Mosely, as a surprise guest.

Wow. FNM. There's something really remarkable about this band. Hearing this just struck me like putting on an old favorite jean jacket that I pulled out from the back of the closet. I wouldn't wear it all the time, but once in a while it feels really good to put it on.

Faith No More was one of the bands that got me out of a looming classic rock rut back in the '90s.  Always good to hear.

If you like Faith No More, try out Mr. Bungle. It's like FNM on LSD. Same lead singer.
 

Mike Pattons "original" band was Mr Bungle - a funk/metal/jazz/surfer outfit {#Dancingbanana}Then you'll also need Fantomas and all the other projects the man is involved with - which is a lot! But each time he succeeds in surprising I consider him one of the great vocalists and inventors in the independent genre.

I often find myself reaching for the metal or hardcore cds after a few days of listening to RP. I've heard we crave what is missing from our diet, and it seems to be as true of music as it is of food. RP is great, but a regular dose of metal would keep me tuned in for longer streaches. Something from The Real Thing would be nice. Maybe Underwater Love or Woodpecker from Mars



Or The Real Thing itself. I have the same problem. I think comments like this need to show up more under Plant/Krauss, Anniken, Depeche Mode, etc. to get the message across. The LRC has a much harder edge than what makes it here, despite the fact that the hard stuff seems to get pretty good ratings.

One of favorite bands, saw them at the Masquerade in Atlanta on this tour. Even though this was their weakest album from their collection, the show was mind blowing! They went into a mix where they played clips of various tracks, it was so incredible that the mosh pit stopped and just stared. After the show we got to meet the whole band as they stood outside next to their bus. Great night!! Thanks for playing them RP.

Excellent! Great, under-appreciated band and album. Angel Dust rules, also King For A Day.... Scorchers. Sorely missed.
Posted 16 years ago by garthwb    [ Reply ]
Wow, I was completely thrown by this song. I have never heard Faith No More on Radio Paradise. One of my favorite bands from their time. The album Angel Dust probably had a bigger impact on my young ears than any other.

Wow, I did an interview with them at the time, and when they asked me my opinion about the album I said that it reminded me of DM - they did not like the comparison at all, but I couldn't help it... And I didn't mean to offend: I love Depeche Mode.
