Publisher's Summary

Place any musical style in front of Faith No More, and seemingly, a timeless song of their own would soon be created. Between 1985-1997, Faith No More issued six full-length recordings (including such classic titles as "The Real Thing" and "Angel Dust") and in the process, influenced countless musicians throughout the world.

But that's not to say it was smooth sailing - members coming and going, inter-band bickering, never being the toast of the critics, etc. And much of the same could be said about the zanier Mr. Bungle, which also featured FNM singer Mike Patton.

Now, for the first time ever, there is a book that explores and analyzes both bands' histories - The Faith No More & Mr. Bungle Companion.

Interviews include: Wes Borland (Black Light Burns/Limp Bizkit), Max Cavalera (Soulfly/ex-Sepultura), Johnny Christ (Avenged Sevenfold), Gilby Clarke (ex-Guns N' Roses), Everlast (House of Pain/solo artist), Mike Fleischmann (Vision of Disorder), John Garcia (Vista Chino/ex-Kyuss), Mitts (Madball), Angelo Moore (Fishbone), Jason Newsted (Newsted/ex-Metallica), Travis Stever (Coheed and Cambria), Kim Thayil (Soundgarden), Devin Townsend (Devin Townsend Project/ex-Strapping Young Lad), Ville Valo (HIM), and Jeff Walker (Carcass).

Finally, a complete and thorough overview of Faith No More and Mr. Bungle's careers…. Strap yourself in and/or hold on tight!

Great content, Listening to Angel Dust right now!

Great content, clearly well researched and interesting stories.

Faith No More was long done by the time I was in High School but I somehow managed to be randomly introduced to Angel Dust.. I think I torrented it before I bought the actual cd. Absolutely love that album!

One thing though if I could add some constructive criticism for the author/narrator. Work on the delivery, there were definitely a couple places where the emphasis was ON weird. .. words and strange.. delays. and some sections repeated themselves with a different take. and Some sections repeated themselves, with different takes.
Could have used another pass, or maybe worth it to hire someone else to do it.

Overall very enjoyable content sometimes a bit hard to listen to.

Shit on this

This was amazing.

If you already have a great appreciation for everything Patton and all collaborating artists do, then this will give you even more. I wish I heard this before I met him after the Secret Chiefs 3, Dead Cross show. 🤘🤘🤘🤘.
