Faith No More: Midlife Crisis Live

[Andymalcolm1]

I love this live performance is a masterpiece of a performance,Faith no More rules and they kick the asses of all new ''rock'' bands

[Andymalcolm1]

I love this band so much,they are the best rock band of the 90's...experimental rock rules

[BlackRedconversion]

i love faith no more but i haaate when he doesnt take the singing seriously and just shouts and wails

[tajjtcw]

this was probably coverterd from PAL to NTSC and the tape is dragging for one and it is mixed very badly.

[CLeRKSfan4life]

Like someone else said, by this point in FNM Patton really couldn't be assed. I think they split not long after this.

There's something sureal about the whole performance, not just Mike's singin'. It's weird.

[xtremebondi]

MP is the best, he sang that in purpose opera style lol

[JorgeMadafacka]

...or maybe he was drunk at this one

[madtony1980]

hahaha,mike patton is fuckin amazing..

love

[Sickness796]

this is a horrible performance imo

he didnt even try

older vids are wayyy better

[Andymalcolm1]

@Sickness796 All Midlife Crisis and all Faith no More performances are perfect...and Mike was singing like in an opera concert...he's too talented for this planet he should sing in other galaxies where rock music is maybe apreciated at maximum level

[mrhooka1]

i dont get why he makes it sound so much more weirder, it was good as it is, and its not like he cant sing it right, wtf, but either way mike patton owns

[JudgeDury]

Class act !

[Jazzmaster1962]

mike looks a little old to be playing in faith no more in this.

[emilioxcalamaro]

ke lutamm

[happydrum]

Fucking Genius!

[MWZ56Raka]

He's mike patton, c'mon, he can do it correctly, but he doesn't wants to.

[bolaypelay]

I agree with some posts.

It´s obvious: Patton was very tired of this song. They must have played it more than 200 or 300 times

Whow wouldn't get sick with that?

Puffy ruled till the end

[cheezbetweentheknees]

200 or 300 times? lol. Try 5,000 or so, between writing it in 1991, practicing, rehearsing, recording, and performing between 91 and '98.

[PattonFrusciante]

Mike Rocks!!!

[gtawwe08]

the singer sounds like hes choking on someones cock!!

[DHRC18]

Fuck that made me laugh

[feltgrape]

Wasn't this the year they broke up? Mike Patton seems like the person who gets bored by playing anything typical, so he probably decided to be weird.

Also i'm the band was having problems if they broke up around this time.

[bigpimp1711]

sounds like dat mofucka has a throat problem

[danlekhtman]

He sounds like he has shit in his mouth.

[memphisking009]

go the videos with their concert in pheonix festival 97

he does this song like he should.

he sang it this way cuz he was tired of singing it!!

come on people.

[mechanical777animals]

haha lol i think he fucked it up on purpose lol

[Maddolis]

I'm guessing he and the band were bored as fuck of this song by this point. He has incredible range and power, and I wouldn't argue with people calling him great (top 20 or whatever), but I wouldn't call him that myself- after watching performances like this.

[lonnmaj15]

puffy is awesome. he's sure a hard hitter.

[chriskiefer79]

wtf happened to thier fist guitarist .the dude w/ the cool hair?

[cynicaldemon]

He was fired, supposedly by fax.

[CervicalUnit]

i like the way he sings it, though i can understand why some don't. pattons just nuts, that's all. but in a good way.

[callumserberus]

OMFG, is that Patton? :S

[thevolad0r]

Sorry man my mistake, Its WAR PIGS cover LOL not zombie eaters, i was listening to that song thats why ;)

[thevolad0r]

Its zombie eaters cover, when they played it in 1991 here in Chile, at the Viña Del Mar Festival... hahaha man i cant stop laughing, you gotta watch it !!

[thevolad0r]

Man, this is nothing compared to this video of mike patton: just search youtube for "faith no more viña antonio"

[VodCrack]

Mike reminds me of Ol' Dirty Bastard in this video haha really cool!

[bossman380]

I think he had to much before the show :D

[adio0709]

jesus christ.....thats patton, he sounds much better at different concerts

[cynicaldemon]

Imagine how many times he must've sung that song since '92. Enough said?

[adio0709]

jesus christ.....thats patton, he sounds much better at different concerts

[adio0709]

song is so much beter with patton...doesnt look or sound like him, so im guessing its the newer one (and the newer guitarist)

[ArgHamster]

What the fuck are you talking about? Patton was with the band until the break up.

[Nobodyexpects]

weeeed

[Matt330]

Idiot alert.

[retnuHDJ]

Patton... One of the best voices ever.

[ciregar]

It's great voice at 2:35 he's singing like an opera guy !very nice

[ZzZ0ne]

fu**ing awsome...

[VodCrack]

Rather underrated performance

[SnypR]

l dont see anything wrong with this performance except the quality of the video. When l seen them live in Melbourne '92 Angel Dust tour, they were awesome, even when they played Easy, the crowd didnt stop going mental.

[detoxm]

I think they were all sick of FNM by this time- Mike was just dicking around at all live shows from about '95 on. Shame really, they used to be fantastic. Although to be fair, actually seeing them was completely different- in the flesh, this would have fucking rocked.

[murcielago06gt]

What is he doing singing in an Alternative band? He should be an Opera singer!

[peskadeitor]

this man is drunk !!!

[murcielago06gt]

WTF is up with his voice? He is singing like he is high! This band is shit live, whereas most alternative bands are supposed to be much better live!

[iamthevillarreal]

ok we know now uve never seen this band playing live before, + this is no smashing pumpkins dude

[lKR1S]

dont deny it. they are shit live

[tomiderigo]

I saw them late in their careers (around '97) - they were shitshitshit x1000 live - great song anyway

[happydrum]

Fuckin' awesome version...incredible vocal!Bordering insanity but with talent.

[andi515]

this is genius

[NNNero]

I love Mikes voice.

[bigmdogs]

i love the way he sings this its like hes growling or something- i sound lyk a dickhead when i do it lol

[bigmdogs]

it sounds lyk YOUR MUM is full of shit and that ruins her performance

[bimg1]

i am listening to faith no more 15 yeahrs... never got tired of it ... that is good music.

[bigmdogs]

this song floats my boat

[candyscar]

still it woulda sounded really good if you were actually there hearing it through the P.A and stuff.

been my fav FNM song since i heard it way back in 92!

[Echoes248]

haha patton jumping around flailing his 'tard arm...and the opera bit is phenominal

[vv1nters]

Early 90's live performances of this song are way better than this one :(

[dootsszz]

No.

[MetalChickenDragon]

"is that guy fucking hi"

wow...umm...someone doesn't know anything about Mike Patton.

great performance btw. I prefer the later years performances of this song over the studio recording...although both are great.

[robertsresale]

sounds like his mouth is full of shit... totaly ruins the performance of an amazing song

[cynicaldemon]

a blues guitarist once told me: Never wish that you'll write a song which gets to top ten. Because that'll mean you'll haveto play it the exact same way until you're dead. Think that might have something to do with it? z.z

[DaltonMO]

Patton accidentally slashed his right forearm on a piece of broken glass. The resulting nerve damage left him able to use his arm and hand, but not have any feeling in it....

[scornisdaname]

You're perfect yes, it's true! But without me you're only you! Your menstruating heart! It ain't bleedin' enough for two

[fnmore]

great performance patton singing great they fuckin rock

[mickronson1]

a little disturbing. why did they break up, anyway?

[HolteEnder]

Patton doesn't do drugs.

[SthealthRaider]

jeah he is high

[crazymonkeyx]

is that guy fucking hi.

[SthealthRaider]

THAT GUY IS FREAkIng A BITCH ON THE WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER IT SOUNDS BETTED,

dont?

[frog606]

This makes me sad. A great band at the end of their days. They hate those songs and it shows. They should've split up sooner.

[Maddolis]

Agree with you 100%

[ibanez830]

its like he got over excited and kinda over did the vocales by screaming and just blabering or something lol, ive seen better live performances, still a good performance, great band

rock on

[suburbanmyths]

Yeah. He's got this whole gaytarded hand movement thing going on.

[Shaunography]

He has no feeling in that hand, due to a car acciden

[suburbanmyths]

Correction, he injured his right hand was damaged when someone threw glass on stage, perminantly numbing his right hand.

[splintercellfool]

is it just me or at 1:07 he looks very retarded?

[ntdude00]

i hate watching viedo from this performance because it was one of if not their last

[speXtreme726]

He's not high he sung like that on purpose. If he were to be high, he wouldn't be even singing then, he'd be on the floor lol.

[ParalyzerX]

For a few seconds after 1:06, I feel more worried about Mike than I do about his singing. I mean look......mental

[denniscrystal]

that's patton for you, in other words a genius! he puts his whole energy into any fucking song. he does primal screams. it looks like therapy to me!

[ParalyzerX]

lol. Way true.

[putaquewebean]

Yes man, the drummer, Mike Bordin plays with Ozzy and of course Zack.

[ParalyzerX]

Mike is definatley not worried about how he sounds or what people think byt that performance, I admire that, the song is FIVE STARS

[ClevorTrevor]

He's captivating even when he's not trying! A great performer.

[wyldeman1990]

is that the drummer for ozzy with the dreds?

[ohdeasu]

*sigh* yeah he played for ozzy.

[elpakish]

he never did drugs, he´s just...Patton, and he is the best.

[skater237]

hey does anybody know what happen to Jon and his guitar on the second verse?? he dissapered or something..

[davidvollmar]

Mike mumbles on purpose - it's like Andy K. - it's art meets ? I dig it! Of couse he's high - on life or whatever - As long as he's out there. Check out Lovage or Peeping Tom - Great stuff!

[miketysh]

im pretty sure he never did drugs

[DarkTimes4Gothiks]

When i Wrote the post I thought that Mike wasn't singing well but know I know that he is joking :)

I think Mike is one of the best singers of all time.

I hope that FNM revive and show us what is real music!

[waynedrake]

damn, Mike's not even trying.

[andrecuri]

He is high for sure!

This song rox

[alyssa639]

I love Mike's opera singer impression.

[DarkTimes4Gothiks]

I don't know why Mike always have problems wih the voice in this song :S

[vodkaa1]

He just likes to goof a lot. ;)

[Margiempar]

The problem isn´t the song. Probably, the problem is the drugs that are dancing in is body during the concert.

[holdingthismoment]

Er...Patton doesn't do drugs? He's just fucking around.

[Margiempar]

As far as I know, caffeine is a drug.

Take care of your words, we don´t even know what he takes or not. You´re placing your arguing in some point of an interview, when he used to say bullshit.
