Will we ever get 'Mike Patton-Best Of' ??!

How awesome would that be? A mix of all the projects he's been involved with over the years.
Although I, as a fan, think he's never realised his full potential and that he's overly self indulgent at times. I still think the good out-weighs the bad.

Any thoughts?

Plus, anyone know what his next step is? Think I read somewhere there's a new Tomahawk album coming. More mellow than usual...

    yup - I heard there should be a new Tomahawk album in the works, as well as a new Fantomas album (I actually heard that it is going to be entirely electronic - weird)

    ....also there is supposed to be a new album this year with John Zorn....Six Litanies for Heliogabalus (conceived by John Zorn featuring Patton/Trevor Dunn/Joey Baron/Ikue Mori/Jamie Saft)

    .....he is also supposedly contributing vocals to new albums by Foetus, Massive Attack and Eyvind Kang
    In my world everyone is a pony,
    and they all eat rainbows and pooh butterflies!

    what a wonderfully narrow-minded view of one of the most diverse artists in music.

    I will admit however that Angel Dust by FNM is his greatest single work.

    you know, there's a reason a "best of" has not been released.

    That would be the most schizophrenic album ever made. I also agree that Patton has yet to realize his full potential. I'd like to see him try something in a more traditional vocal style...doesn't even have to be rock. He really has an extremely powerful voice, but doesn't seem to stretch it out much.

    Just because you don´t agree doesnt make me narrow minded. Only a couple of tomahawk songs come close to fnm....thats not narrowminded but a fact

    But your reply seemed to suggest that all Faith No More songs are better than all other Patton songs, which is quite obviously bullshit. Listen to Innocent Eye, Crystal See from Eyvind Kang's Virginal Co-ordinates and tell me that something like Cuckoo for Caca is better.

    Faith No More To Reunite

    It’s commonly understood that Mike Patton is a busy man. By nurturing his growing label Ipecac and providing both vocals and general musical direction to Peeping Tom, Fantomas and Tomahawk, few would be surprised if he added yet another straw to the camels back. However, the latest band added to Patton’s bloated schedule will be none other than Faith No More.

    The announcement came during a brief promotional push for Tomahawk’s pending album “Anonymous” (due June 19 via Ipecac Records). The Faith No More reunion was practically mentioned as an apathetic aside. Patton spoke of the new Tomahawk album as somewhat subdued and “more organic ” then stated “And just so the cats out of the bag, Faith No More should be touring Europe and Australia early next year.” Amid gasps and camera flashes from the press, Patton mentioned that the band would debut a new album via Ipecac and was currently negotiating distribution assistance from a major label. The bands lineup has not been confirmed by Patton, nor was there any mention of the new albums progress or direction.

    More information is expected to follow in the coming days as Patton continues his promotional stint for the new Tomahawk album among other Ipecac releases set for this year.

    Don't it make you smile?
