    Peeping Tom is OK, nothing great. would have been better if Dan The Automatic on there as full producer! :D

    speaking of Dillinger Escape Plan- a band I'm not familiar with other than Patton have worked with them and I believe has members of Pantera involved?
    Hang on, are you asking if DEP have members of Pantera involved? if so, no. Other than that, not that I know of. He has a band called Fantomas which has Dave Lombardo from Slayer and Buzz Osbourne from the Melvins.

    oops My bad, I was thinking of DAMAGEDPlan. Dimebag was in that band when he got killed?

    Cheers to a singer, composer, lyracist, and most of all a true musical artist. You have to respect a guy that has the integrity he has. Makes the music he wants to and puts it out on his own label. Has a solid enough fan base that will go on the journeys with him. And he works his ass off, always touring and recording..... Well i could go on and on..


    Well put, Patton is the man.

    That's why I'm so excited about hearing Crudo. Mike described it as fucked up R&B, so it should definitely be interesting. When him and Dan work together you just know it's gonna be entertaining.

    I enjoyed the Peeping Tom demo's more than I did the finished product but from what I've seen in downloads and YouTube, they seemed great live. I really wish I could have seen them when they played Philly last year.

    Crudo??? whoa nice, I haven't read much on the recent activities of Patton. Last I heard was he did the voice-over for alot of the characters in I Am Legend.

    Can't wait for that Mike-Dan duo. Been a fan of the Automator since he released the HandsomeBoy Modeling School stuff. Then discovered his old produced classic "Dr. Octagon" CD with Kool Keith- which is freckin' insanely hilarious.

    Mike Patton is my favorite singer, period. I just got a ticket to see the first Crudo show ever and I can't wait. If anyone is in the Bay Area, it's May 22nd at the Great American Music Hall and I think tix are still available

    i totally feel the same way.. i just don't get it. i couldn't even get into FNM back in the day.. and fantomas... i wouldnt even call that music. i saw them open for Tool and he was screaming and making ridiculous noises. i think the majority of the crowd was booing him.

    whatever... to each their own i guess=p

    He's a crooner. That's why I like him. On the flipside though, his voice sounds great on songs like 'Surprise you're dead'. Oh and 'RV'. :D
    I always just found Faith No More's stuff to be really catchy. I don't know any of his side projects.

    HUGE fan of Mike Patton......I enjoy and appreciate all of his projects on different levels and for different reasons - a totally inspired mad scientist

    any fans out there should track down the soundtrack he has released for the short film "A Perfect Place"......its GREAT!!!!!!!!!

    There's a difference between you not liking his voice and it being average. Just accept that you're dislike is a matter of taste and that assuming he is bad because you don't like his music is sheer lunacy. I know someone who HATES Patton's music and recognises that his voice is unnaturally impressive. He uses it as an instrument in the most literal sense. His range is insane, his power unparalleled by any of his contempories and some of his music (FNM, his work with Eyvind Kang, Kaada and the Dillinger Escape Plan) is utterly brilliant.

    Agreed. His voice is far beyond average. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-XzqcP79vQ

    He actually ruined the movie for me (not that it was great to begin with). Every time I heard the creatures howling or screeching I pictured Mike in the studio screaming his ass off. LOL

    He's done a lot of video game work too. He did voice work for Bionic Commando and he also voiced The Darkness. I'm not a gamer but I heard that if you finish the game you get treated to this song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nw6N7H1OWm0

    Dan is the man. His work on the Gorillaz first album was great, they went downhill after he stopped working with them.

    He brings those two voices together quite nicely on this one. :)

    Wow! That's awesome. I really wish I could make the trek out to the Bay for this show but I just took a week off to see Eddie in Santa Barbara. If this show was on a Saturday I would have been able to make it.

    I'm crossing my fingers for a tour and hoping they'll play Philly, Cleveland or somewhere within driving distance.

    You'll definitely have to post a review, I'd love to hear about it. :)

    This Mike Patton is an amazing singer. Just blows my mind. This guy is not a great frontman or performer, his voice is average at best. Saying its lunacy cuz I think is voice is average, call it what ya want. Ya he makes the music he wants too, big deal that dont make him great.

    Not everyone likes the same things. That's what makes music great, there is always something out there for everyone. Who do you think are great vocalists?
