Faith No More - Midlife Crisis (1993 Phoenix Festival)

[chindog100]

I was a 17 years old and high as a kite at this gig - the best gig I've ever been to



[rodrigoguerrerocuri]

Jim playing this song,,,,THE BEST!!!!

[gimmetehroids]

awesome version of the song. Jim Martin was FNM's best guitar player and he did a fucking great job here.

[vanishingpoint80]

sound is taken from direct audio

[Rockamateurman]

1:46 xD

[1004abcD0953S741F]

LOL

I love Mikes gay voice when he says Silly people.

[BoddhasServants]

silly, silly silly, oh thtop it silly, thtop it

singin and dancin you silly people. silly, silly

[zhred]

Best band in the world! :)

[larjenec]

@zhred the best band in



[thekidwiththefa]

AHAHA Mike's mic stops working and Jim just rips it up. Man, these was such chemistry between them even if it was negative.

[Andymalcolm1]

Faith no More is the best rock band of the 90's

[Politicianssuckass]

Jim had Pattons microphone turned off because this is the way Jim wanted the sound to go down in the studio...They said it was "too heavy guitar sounding" so Jim's last show did his way...

[rvhawkeye]

excellent song and live performance

[penfifteen666]

saw this tout in Isla Vista...oh my fucking god...babes in toyland opened.

[scooba753]

he even drops his mic at 3:35. luckily it didn't even matter

silly.

[KIauDka]

hahaha

[lordjeffers]

wow - 16 years ago since i was there. I have very vague memories of them being amazing.

[barman57]

I've never been the "they were better with Martin" kind of fan, but I've got to admit that I'm really impressed with JM's performance of this song.

[madamico74]

@barman57 Jim was UNBELIEVABLE this whole concert.

[c0d3h4x0r]

@barman57 Well, he did write the part, so would you really expect him to suck at playing it?

[barman57]

@c0d3h4x0r Actually, the way he played it in the video is very different than the album version.

[Sykesee]

ok, my bad, he stood next to the drums... stupid beer!

[Sykesee]

This has been on my bookmarks for so long now, just watched it again for near the 100th time and i still feel sorry for whichever of the sound guys that got knocked the fuck out for not sortin out pattons mic at the end... honestly watch it again, patton is gone straight away right stage, awesome dance though... just as good today too, if i ever get too drunk to get a hard on i watch faith no more.... then wonder why my misses is in bed and masterbate... to patton... ohh never mind!

[CLeRKSfan4life]

Haha, ace! That's a killer dance he does at the end, also he sounds like Chuck Mosely when he's calling everyone silly. lol

[coldspagetti]

This is my favourite of all favourite Patton's live performances! Maybe only Chile 95 , 91 reach it.!

[dagnaste01]

bout the sound and vid its just like when u make a movie and the pic is good but the sound is not good same princible heh m if u get what im sayin

[dagnaste01]

o cool always wonderd whre this was sung at had this on mp3 for years found it on limewire evertime my friends here tis song they singin the silly silly part alway this was epic and still is

[Wuxiapian88]

Haha "Oww", What a champion, can't wait till soundwave 2010!!

[ReverendJasmine]

hilarity! <3

[666PeaceSells666]

Awesome! They aint nuttin now without Jim Martin

[KeVoRkIaN7]

You are godammned right - they are not nothing without Martin...they are amazing instead

[craig1459]

I was at this gig - they were awesome.

[cadoixo]

this was too crazy!!!!!good professionals, good artists...to know how to improvise is great....Loved this!!!!

[KIauDka]

hahahaha Im crying :D

[aBornBird]

Epic.

No pun.

[aBornBird]

BTW, how is it that the sound quality is so good on such shitty video?

The sound engineer is clearly a GOD.

[StevieC69]

The sound would've been recorded through the sound desk then remixed with the video later.

[Guitarsthatkill]

@aBornBird A fan/archivist put the FM broadcast on the Video from a bootleg. :)

Some DVDs of this have the switchable audio between this and the original cam's mic......quite a difference.... :)

[claudiamegustas]

@Guitarsthatkill hey, do you know where I can find that DVD. I have the Phoenix Rising and its one of the best I'va heard.

[Guitarsthatkill]

@claudiamegustas Its justa case of the same old torrent searches again...it does show up form time to time.. :) Bunglefever used to have it.

[dejaysaint]

@aBornBird audio was recorded separately and added to the video afterwards

[Hector216Rivera]

woah, ahhahahaha that was awesome

[dangeroustrouble]

Thanks for putting this up, this made my day!

[drfaith]

mic breaks down - patton dances, everyone laughs and gets on with it

take away patton and add axl rose = bitch fit and ensuing riot

[muitalos]

So fucking true.

[papelquehabla]

huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuajajajajja­jajajajaja

saco de weas xD

x volverse mono le pasó

jajajajjajaja pero la raja q sea asiiiii

[hazestudios]

awesome

I'd heard the bootleg of this, but never seen what actually went on. hilarious

[azrial4421]

lol guess he didnt expect them to sing

[Sykesee]

Awesome track, amazing vocals, fucking brilliant dance when the mic blew... i cant wait to see these guys (yeah i know, changes to members) at the download festival in july!

[TheBomber15]

Its on in June...

[Sykesee]

oops, thanks, would have been embarrassing if i'd turned up in July!!

[TheBomber15]

Haha! It would, wouldn't it!? God damn you people going to Download! Making me all jealous with my Leaving Cert on! They're playing Brixton again on the 10th aren't they? Can't go to that either!

[Sykesee]

I feel for you buddy, i missed rage against the machine when they played Reading last year and nearly cried... Made sure not to make that mistake with FNM!

[TheBomber15]

Yeah, I saw RATM at Oxegen last year, to be fair Pendulum were better, but unlucky with that anyway mate! I'm just seriously hoping they have a gig in Ireland, that would make my year, but I reckon I'm just asking for too much! Well, enjoy Download anyway mate!

[elchimpo89]

Im going to see them tomorrow!!!!!!!! i also saw rageagainst the machine at lees and they beat the arse off pendulum!

[TheBomber15]

It's only an opinion mate, I prefer Rage as a band, but Pendulum and the Pogues were the best live bands that weekend.

[ImBrianFortuna]

YEA!!!! GO JIM!!! 3:37!!!

always loved that part

reminds me of Randy Rhoades

[ElectricJesus94]

That part and Mike's dancing really saved them from the mic trouble

[stepawayfromthewindo]

its funny, ive been listening to the phoenix festival bootleg for years. of course, this song always stood out. its nice to finally see what the hell was going on! i still get chills when the band stops playing and all those people sing along- really powerful.

[xjrmag]

if you listen really closely , you can here me singing, it is by far the best gig i was ever at. and i love his little dance at the end . that i didnt see .

[Zooloojump]

Beautiful, watch me, be me, hear me, see me, live me, give me with me

[rpjmartin1971]

Fantastic cos I was there!! The best band of the 90s and possibly Angel Dust was the best album. A reunion tour is overdue.

[ofwolfandwhiplash]

OW! lol

[ximprintx]

crazy! thanks for posting this.

[Deadbeans]

Only MP could play that mic malfunction off so comically.

[dagnaste01]

my favorite midlife crisis version, i use to pllay that for my friends they always lauphed got it dl off limewire now

[MOBRIEN1234567]

nice i hope to fuck he rely meant it.. they rely were being silly silly silly silly ppl

[gouldbass]

I think Jim must have had some input on this song... The chords in the chorus flow better, instead of sounding a little stilted(did anyone else notice that? I'm suprised no-one picked it up).Could be because I'm a guitarist :)

The solo at the end was sweet; it makes the song rock harder.

[ilsetencate]

Well why not, if you're good at it! ;-)

[TheBomber15]

Props, that was a very good comeback.

[Totichi]

Hahaha, like the Justin Timberlake dance at the end....

[juntao1919]

That was great! Thanks for all these uploads by the way; I'm not sure where else I'd get such a constant Patton fix.

[xxxdarkmexxx]

hahahaha... wow!!!

[RoyalSkull]

hahaha this is awesome!

[Engelina24]

hahaa you hardly see Mike on Jim's side xD

[MrBungle5127]

its sad how it all ended with Jim but they had no choice, they hadto cut him loose if they wanted to keep making new records....The only song Jim full composed on AngelDust was "Jizzlobber" he also did alittle of "Kindergarden"....The rest of the songs was like pulling teeth, he'd play something then theyd make him play something different. Billy Gould played guitar on "Midnight Cowboy"

[candlegoat]

haha this is a special one, thanks for sharing!
