Mike Patton....Thats right baby.

[Confession]

So I was talking to a fellow TFFer and we got talking about this man. Me personally wanna know how many people know him, and appreciate him as much as I.

He is known as one of the best vocalists in the world, he is a worl renowned beatboxer and scatter.

Mike Patton is a VERY famous Vocalist and Sample maker. He has influenced many bands of today. He is most famous for his playing part in the band Faith No More, which practiaclly created a new wave of experimental music, going through many different genres in an album.

He has also been in;

- Mr. Bungle
- Fantomas (along with Dave Lombardo from Slayer)
- Peeping Tom
- He has done collaborations with John Zorn, Dillinger Escape Plan and various other bands.

So I just wanted to know if there was any fans? or peopel that are interested and what some ideas on what to get.

I'm pretty sure that I am technically stalking Mike Patton. Though not in an "I'm going to murder Mike Patton and wear his skin" type of stalking. Just like, "Can I smell you, Mike Patton?" type of stalking. That's not creepy, is it? I don't think so.

Anyway, Patton = God. I highly recommend Mr. Bungle's "California" and their self titled album. I still haven't really gotten into "Disco Volante" myself, but there are some great songs on there.

Get everything Fantomas have ever done. The Fantomas Melvins Big Band album too.

He does great with Zorn, too. "Astronome", "IAO", and "Six Litanies for Heliogabalus" are my favorites. Be warned though, these are MUCH more progressive and Avant Garde albums. (If you know any Zorn stuff, you know what I'm talking about).

I also highly recommend the album "She" by Maldoror, a collaboration between Patton and Japanese noise God Merzbow.
