Faith No More - Angel Dust Sessions Part 5

[iAXE692]

Jim remind me Anatoly Wasserman of heavy metal music

[SamYarbrough77]

I was such a HardCore FNM fan specially in my youth. I saw them WITH (YAY!) Jim Martin In Fresno Ca January 1993. What i liked about FNM is they were all individuals not copying each others looks (except for Bottum mancrushing on Patton) I was blue when they fired em. He brought the metal and couldn't see anyone replacing him. I heard KFAD was a great album but i boycotted it. I came back for AOTY Good, But just not the same. RT and AD my fav albums

[drewper73]

King's X Gretchen Goes To Nebraska!! Man, how could i have forgotten about that album? I never had my own copy I guess. Great album!!

[Ferrellmusic]

It's so funny. Jim was absolutely right about the music.

[TheGreaterGood80]

Look, Jim is awesome, but I'm amazed how many people are still so ornery about him not being in the band anymore. I was bummed when it happened, but that was umm SIXTEEN YEARS AGO. It's not like he was the first guitarist they had. The true core of FNM isn't him or Patton. It's Billy, Puffy and Roddy. I've always viewed Billy as the real visionary musician of the band. They continued to write good music long after Jim left, and Hudson did a great job on the tour. He's a very fluid player.

[Guitarsthatkill]

Jim left/was fired by fax in the fall of 1993.

This is late 1991/early 1992...so there was still over year, almost two years to go til the parting. Damn shame. Patton ousted him.

Sure Hudson's not bad, but Jim is still the man imo

Jim is a true guitar hero.

[SuperStrik9]

When Jim Martin left FNM the band just wasn't the same nor nearly as good.

[yovioleatuzorramadre]

@SuperStrik9 thats make no sense. we are talking about "King For A Day...Fool For A Lifetime" being recorded without Jim right?

[SuperStrik9]

@yovioleatuzorramadre What? I was just saying that FNM imo, wasn't as good without Jim as they were with him in the band. Basically, FNM with Jim Martin > FNM without Jim Martin.

[wandarah]

@SuperStrik9 *rolls eyes*

[Hamstersssssssssssss]

Hey man , you should be nice to hookers .

[MrSethdeath]

Wow heactually does look like Mike!

[pentagonoenllamas]

This is both funny and annoying at the same time. I am a fan of the "N" band as much as I am a FNM fan but I sort of unterstand the N band's bad reputation caused by all the excessive worshiping that the guys in the N band themselves tried to stop (unsuccessfully). Now people remember the N band like if THEY were the pretentious asshole guys and everyone talks shit about them when it really wasn't their fault, it was the media that created the little monster.

[sourfin]

He sounds like Valient Himself

[ElDiabloEastSida]

Whats Jim Martin look like now?

[UnexplainedDirge]

@ElDiabloEastSida Well, he shaved his head and beard now. He's actually a pumpkin farmer who still lives in California. There's a picture of him on Google (and he was in a Guinness Book of World Records book years ago for world's largest pumpkin) of him and his daughter behind one of the pumpkins he grew.

[EatPieYes]

It's scary that, at least during the interview, Jim Martin looks exactly like Mike Patton but with a beard and glasses. Could it be true that it is, in fact, Mike? Probably not. But it's fun to imagine yourself that.

[instereovideos]

@EatPieYes No, but Jim was on the outs with the band at this point... this is right before they broke up... so it would be really funny if Jim just didn't come in that day and Mike put on a fake beard and glasses to do the interview as Jim. That really would be hilarious.

[themadrapper101]

sludgedozers right . ..

[CLeRKSfan4life]

What happened to the the other parts?

[burningsinews]

what was that band he mentioned King what?

[karlhungus44]

King's X

[Beardmania]

Jim Martin's view on MTV and big record companies forcing music through the industry has become the awful truth. The 90's were the last of MTV's respected days...

[dopes2infinity]

Oh the San Francisco Bay Area, I thought he kept saying the San Francisco Bear, like there's this big heavy gay guy in San Fran and all the local music comes out of him.

[thegirl44]

Don't worry, d2i, I got the same aural confusion and had the exact same visual.

*shudder*

[pwarren1010]

Would you pay attention!LOL

[Koensgen]

ficken bumsen blasen

[disengagejam]

Classic !!!! Sick of the 'mtv' interviewer trying to push them into saying Nirvana for almost every question... they worshiped them while other larger more influential bands took a backseat

[Koensgen]

...hahaha! Just what I thought! DAMN! Now he said the N word!!!!! In that second, hahaha!

[slippereal]

YES

[CentraljocK]

this bitch is fucking thick. asks the same question over and over and over............

fuck me man.

[krftwrk77]

"what bands do you think blabablablablablabla"

she needs something hard and sand papery.

[stfanani]

FUCK MTV, ANYBODY WITH ME!!! of course... EVERYBODY'S WITH ME, wat a stupid question, MTV IS THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL

[Deadbeans]

FUCK MTV

[312chicagoadam]

WHAT THE FUCK? How many times is this chick going to ask the SAME FUCKING QUESTION?

Anything stand out in '91?

Who was influencial in '91?

What bands now ('91/'92) are breaking new genres (whatever the FUCK that means)?

Anybody gonna influence music in '92?

Anybody stand out in '92?

[After REPEATEDLY being told that there is NOTHING NEW in '92, this idiot asks]:

Do you see any trends taking shape for '92?

GIVE ME THE FREAKIN' GUN NOW!!!!

This is exactly why I left this business.

[JosephKuby]

You were in the music biz? Which band?

[markuslebt]

lol i once had a rack like this...

[PanterAmetal100]

Jim`s like Dimebag or something...=D

[JosephKuby]

Jim is, indeed, the black Dimebag - effortless at veering back and forth between melodicism and heaviness.

[johnlaughnfaggapples]

Wow he has so much range in musical taste..."Metallica and Slayer...previously there was Led Zepplin...." Yep that pretty much sums up why he hated making and playing this album and was eventually kicked out of the band. And rightfully so!

[elchimpo89]

i miss jim

[GlueyPorch]

No, and then Korn came, and they were shit

[loafpork]

Heh heh, Mr. Bungle was new about that time.

[stovsa]

Patton was with bungle before faith no more

[loafpork]

Ha ha, No shit! Faith No More recruited patton after seeing Mr. Bungle. When the question was asked, "Is there anything new happening in music?"

All that Seattle stuff was just rehashed metal, hard rock, and punk mixed around into something, Kinda new.

Stuff like Fishbone, and Mr. Bungle for me were the only really new sounding bands about that time. And maybe a lot of that hardcore rap stuff.

[oaklandrmoss18]

@stovsa No you dumbass. He was with Metallica before Faith no more. He was in Korn before Bungle.

[Deadbeans]

New on record yes, but bungle had been around since 85. If you like Bungle, check out Fishbone.

[loafpork]

Dude,,, what's your damage? Did you not read my post?

I wasn't talking about new as in what date this shit came out exactly...I was speaking about THE SOUND, being new. And yes, I mentioned Fishbone, dumb ass. And yes I know bungle started when they were in highschool in the mid 80s.

[krazynite]

I thought Jim was never at these sessions and the band had to send the tapes to him to dub guitars on....wow....I never knew he was there!! Thanks for this..

[doomeddodo]

I suppose that there are interviews with the other band members too. Does anybody have them? If yes please upload I would really like to see them.

[deusexmachina582]

the interviewer isn't stupid she was handed these questions by producers to ask and clearly Jim dosen't care for the music of the day....

[LoyolaCeltic]

Wow I agree with everyone. How did she even get this job? Moron.

[CoyoteJaw9]

Interviewer sounds like something Jim Morrison would have fucked.

[drfaith]

we should blame the interviewer for making Jim lose the will to live, therefore, losing all motivation with the band, therefore being fired. i bet he thought "to hell with this, if i'm gonna be asked stupid questions for the rest of my life i want out"

[mouloudo]

hum he was fired he wasn"t fired

[mouloudo]

I meant he didn't left of course... hum (embarassement)

[JakeTS86]

hum, what the fuck r u talking about?

[mouloudo]

he was fired he didn't left got it? :)

[yzerfan75]

how does someone "left?"

[mouloudo]

by saying " dudes Im tired of this band I leave", but that's not what heppened the band told him to leave, so saying he left is wrong, he was fired :)

[FuckingStanz]

If it weren't bad enough that she wanted to talk about a movement he had nothing to do with, she wasted like a billion questions trying to indirectly get him to talk about it. Just fucking ask what he thinks about grunge and get it over with instead of wasting the entire interview, slut.

[diegoarboli]

Martin is one of the veeery few guitar players whose sound is unique (and that includes Angus Young, Slash, etc.), and that might last way more than any exquisite technique.

[damarei]

I agree, that man was something special when he played the guitar.

[JosephKuby]

I prefer Martin to Spruance. Martin has a style that I find inspiring.

If I ever get to play guitar in a band, my style would be a mixture of his, Warren DeMartini's, Robbin Crosby's and Van Halen's (mostly to do with how he utilizes his guitar to make it sound like something else).

[zeaters]

Thanks for all these videos.  Wonder how to get the other few hours of film :D

[bugger316]

Not to mention the coolest glasses!

[bugger316]

That's by far the coolest beard I've ever seen.

[JosephKuby]

I tried to grow a beard as big as Martin's so people could make the comparison but it could only grow so big.

[powersack]

t-shirt: "..jetzt alle.. ficken, bumsen, blasen" = ".. all together now.. fuck, hump, blow" maybe the rest of it is "..alles auf dem rasen" = "..all on the lawn" ... it´s a "toten hosen" song xD

[billyjoelsux]

They had to hurry this interview along because Jim was already dressed up for GQ photoshoot

[hemorrhoidprime]

lolol

[Rock74]

Wow, that was the worst interview ever in terms of asking the same questions.

Great to have this FNM stuff on here though.

[heyitsmejojo]

this bitch is just trying to get him to evaluate the gruge era and how people thought it was new but the music was already done before its sad she is just pray on this grunge really was a fad the music lasted but damn

[stillwaterseven]

Heyitsmejojo, you are dead on !

this bitch is asking the same question, but in different ways ,..over and over again,she's just dying for him to mention Nirvana, he's smart enough to avoid it in his answers though ,...I think he knew what she was after.

[starrynightuk]

yes! Could almost see her disappointment when he mentioned 'going back to those old blues guys'!

[JosephKuby]

Whilst he did a good job at highlighting how Nirvana weren't really groundbreaking, he should have just given a better example of what was groundbreaking ---> Anthrax teaming up with Public Enemy.

That was the real milestone of 1991 which foreshadowed the nu metal scene no less than FNM.

[trickmast]

Nirvana weren't ground breaking! Bands like the Melvins created Grunge, Nirvana just popularised it.

[JosephKuby]

I never said they were groundbreaking, just highlighting the fact that they were wrongly perceived as being that.

My Bloody Valentine's Loveless (1991) was more distinctive than Nevermind.

One band who did grunge (before doing pop metal) was (ironically) Ratt. The Euro' release of their self-titled debut EP (released in 1983) contained a grunge song called You're in Trouble.

This song would get changed considerably when the time came to release their debut LP (1984's Out from the Cellar).

[sludgedozer]

I like my blood Valentine' s music but I just can't get past the emo vocals. Kurt Cobain's vocals were more passionate than anything MBV did.

[konerak9]

@trickmast you are an idiot guy

[trickmast]

@konerak9 I am an idiot guy? hahhah

[potpisspartridge]

No,sod off.you pervert.stop wanking and find some love.

[annalisameow]

this interviewer is a douchebag. seriously. repetitive stupid questions...

[luisisaac]

i hate mike patton but a love him in the same time ,why mike patton fried jim martin ?¡

[scornisdaname]

Well the whole band fired Jim Martin via fax in November 1993....Martin didn't like the direction the music was going & often did not show upto rehearsals & they said Jim didnt have alotta input in this album...

[jeandepaul]

he got hungry

[Onebloodygrenade]

...spent the time he shoulda bin practisin' in burger king.

[jeandepaul]

lol. im such a retard.!!!

[pyropete1723]

'Jetzt alle ficken bumsen blasen ... ' that's written on his shirt, haha

[pyropete1723]

'Jetzt alle ficken bumsen [...]' - that's written on his shirt - haha

[denniscrystal]

king for a day

[riznich]

i think king for a day is their best. the sheer diversity of songs on that album is amazing

[Fantomama]

How many times is she going to ask the SAME question?? She is so terrible, same with her interview with Mike.

[nuriputi]

i laughed my ass to tears towards the end of the interview!but maybe thats just me..FAITH NO MOOOOOREEEEE wish they were still here

[crapdeikaris]

They were some stupid questions he was asked.He did a good job answering them politely.

[kafkaincorporated]

"Can name anyone from Seattle who's really good?"

"No"

"Is there anyone whose name begins with `N`, and has a `v` in the middle ends in `a` who might be really important?"

"No, probably not. Can't think of anyone."

"OK, say there's a band from Seattle, and there's this BIG movement, and they're part of it. Hypothetically, then, they would be really big and from Seattle, and that the movement would be big, right?"

"No, I can't really see that. Maybe you're talking about the blues?"

[mcgrathbass]

SHUT UP BITCH he doesnt want to talk about Nirvana so stop pushing him!

[Norg1]

Jims last days in Faith no More how sad

[pudboy123456]

He was there for a while after this interview if this was done during angel dust - but yeah - it wasn't the same when he left

[Mystify84]

THE REAL THING and ANGEL DUST their best!

some elements from KING FOR A DAY....and ALBUM OF THE YEAR were ok though

[4degrees]

To me, Real thing was decent but was a bit repetitve, Angel Dust was awesome, King for a Day was their best, and Album of the year was killer too...

Chuck Mosely's vocal work doesn't even compare to the sounds Patton makes when he takes dump.

[pinipoa]

shity questions...but he shore did nailed them!! (smart guy...dusted the nirvana thing perfect!)

[yellowmrbungle]

jim martin was more conventional...not that revolucionary as fnm´s progression!angel dust was the most experimental fnm album since 92 and was precisely that date when he starts feeling more uncomfortable...but no doubt jim were a big performer the band lost a lot with jim martin´s break trought!

[JerryTheSquid]

If only he stayed on in Faith No More. KFAD would've been a much more interesting album I think.

[ohdeasu]

what? KfaD was a superb album.

[JosephKuby]

I concur. It definitely would have been more interesting to see how Jim would have contributed to KFAD.

yellowmrbungle said Jim was more conventional but the stuff he does from 0:22 - 1:38 is anything but.

I just wish he could have realized or appreciated the fact that FNM were not meant to be just a metal (or even just rock) band.

With that said, as a guitarist, Jim had diversity as can be heard in Zombie Eaters and The Grade (which I think should have been called The Cowboy Song).

[cynicaldemon]

On your statement on the 0:22-1:38 part, literally anyone with some effects will sound like that.

[JosephKuby]

I know but the fact that he does that shows a willingness to play more than standard chords or staccato riffs.

Like if someone uses a violin bow to play a guitar, yeah it's not groundbreaking if someone does it but it shows a keen interest in stepping outside the box.

[cynicaldemon]

I don't know. Ever since I picked up musical instruments I've had the need to play something different from what I've been hearing before.

I think Jim was a fairly 'convential' guitarist in terms of his style whilst playing on the albums and live. But sure, he did do some cool things aswell, though I wouldn't call that his main focus.

[JosephKuby]

I want to check out his work with Fang since I've only heard his FNM and Milk & Blood stuff.

Apparently, he performed on an R&B album by Sy Smith (called Conflict) under a pseudonym.

[busenlilly1]

His shirt says: "All together now: fuck, hump, blow" and something I can't make out at the bottom.

[SquirtyMcwetfart]

Her entire line of questions were to back him in a corner to say, "alright grunge, Seattle, alternative, ok bitch."

[do0mz]

Grunge didnt brake through/ go mainstream until later correct?

[JosephKuby]

Exactly. It's almost like she was trying to get him to admit defeat by acknowledging the fact that Nirvana were bigger than FNM (bearing in mind this interview was conducted one year after Nevermind was released).

My connotation on her interviews is that MTV was going to compile lots of videos clips or sound bytes of different people saying Nirvana, Seattle and grunge to create some kind of hype for consumers to latch onto (or to give the impression that Nirvana were bigger than they were).

[drfaith]

if i got to interview a genius like Jim Martin,i wouldn't waste my time or Jims by asking shit questions.

[skater237]

man...what kind of fuckin questions are those??? they're making Jim more uncofortable and thats bad.

[wrongrecords]

also nailed the king's x thing -- what a creative band they ended up being. jim martin is a true artist.

[alnoga]

He nailed the Nirvana thing.

[CerialKarpins]

and they were really shit questions lol

[manicdepression92]

Yeah, he looked pretty pained. Guess he REALLY didn't want to be doing that. Well I don't blame him. If I were him I wouldn't wanna be there either. He was the band's punching bag at that point, add that to the fact that the guy's already uncomfortable with interviews.

[JosephKuby]

The following extract comes from an issue of Kerrang magazine (number 1252 - March 14th '09):

"It's funny to think that the perception at the time was that poor little Jim was being picked on," Mike Bordin said later. "Jim was the hardest motherfucker of all of us, he was a huge shit-stirrer. When the band started getting hot, everyone went to different places and started checking out different things, and everyone was too interested in themselves to worry about pissing off Jim."

[frog606]

poor jim! he looked so uncomfortable answering those questions.
