    Mike Patton is far from being great. I do agree the song epic, sounds like a RHCP song. Some people claim Mike Patton is so great he's avgerage at best. RHCP blow anything he's done outta the water. Kedis is way better.

    the majority of people who say this dont know fuck all about fnm.. have you even heard "King for a Day" or "Angel Dust"?

    Ok, I've always been a bigger FNM fan than a Chilis fan . . .ok I wouldn't even consider myself a Chilis FAN at all, I just wanted to say that 'The Real Thing' was one of those seroiusly good, perspective-on-life-and-music changing albums of my life. Also really liked 'Angel Dust'. 'King for a Day' was 50-50, and I really didn't get into 'Album of the Year' (great album title, btw). But I bought 'em, and my musical tastes, tolerances and horizons have widened so much since their release that I bet I could dig 'em up now and get into 'em more now than I did then, and I know I couldn't say that about anything the Chili Peppers have done.

    One could almost say that I feel I've outgrown the Chili Peppers, but I won't say it, it sounds too insulting.

    Mike Patton may be a dick, but if a dick can sing, put it on a CD and I'll buy it!

    Hell, I even bought that voice only, recorded-in-hotel-rooms CD that Patton did. It blew, blew hard, but I gave it a shot based on his rep. No way in Hell I'd buy an Anthony Kedis A Capella CD on faith!

    Really though, Kedis vs. Patton, FNM vs. RHCP, it's apples and oranges really. I feel silly trying to compare them. Forget everything I just said, except that 'The Real Thing' is probably still in my all-time top 10.

    fuckin hilarious.. thanks for posting that

    I know it is funny, but even funnier is the fact that the first time I saw them, they were absolutely terrible by the way, I actually gave them the benefit of the doubt. Saw them a second time, and yes even worse...he can't replicate what he does on his albums...and i'm not talking about his work with Mr Bungle ect...I'm talking about the more mainstream stuff he did with FNM. Stuff that he should have been able to perform in a live setting. He was terrible, and I don't care what anybody says about how 'that's his style' and so on...he was terrible singing most stuff from King for a Day and he butchered his earlier stuff...Anyone that says this guy is the greatest vocalist of his time needs to hear him live...he is that bad.

    The guy's lyrics are woeful, his vocals are terrible and his new stuff is just plain silly. Kiedis will be remembered (i'm not a chili's fan post Californication) because he has evolved, come up with new ideas and remained relevant (as much I think Stadium Arcadium and By the way are piles of trash). Meanwhile Mike Patton is singing through intercoms and above t.v frequency noises while screaming through the top of his lungs...just doing his best really to try to get people, and looks like people on this board have fallen for it, to say 'how experimental he is' and 'how busy he is trying new things' while at the same time rubbishing people and other bands for gaining popularity and sticking to a certain style.

    Mike Patton is a man out of ideas, his last album with FNM was a sign of that...just out of ideas and using the mask of 'experimentation' to give the illusion that he is on the cutting edge.

    This guy is no genius.

    As someone who has seen FNM, Mr Bungle, Tomahawk, Peeping Tom, Fantomas and Lovage live.....I must disagree with your critique. He IS an incredible vocalist/crooner/screamer/lunatic/conductor/artist. I have been to hundreds of concerts and I have never seen a vocalist use their instrument - that being their voice - so effectively/creatively

    Yeah i've seen chili peppers before.. he sings off key and seems to focus more on his jumping jacks.. really though it is hard for me to bash them.. I grew up with Blood sugar.. but stadium arcadium is such shit.. im finding it hard to stick up for them anymore.. and well.. patton just continues to experiment which I think is great

    For every Patton tune that I like, there's two that I don't like. all that means is that the guy is prolific. My problem with Patton is that unless his interviews are an act for him, he strikes me as a cat who believes the hype...the whole "Patton is a genius" thing.

    FNM was boring to me. Fantomas is occasionally cool. Tomohawk is at times unlistenable (and I really wanted to like them because of John Stanier). Mr. Bungle is pretty badass most of the time. Peeping Tom is probably my "favorite" Patton.

    There is an outside chance that the reason that Patton gets under my skin is because we're too much alike when it comes t our musical opinions...but I doubt that's the entire reason.

    'The gentle art of making enemies' kept aside, check out this FNM performance down here in Brazil @ Rock in Rio back in 1991.
