Faith No More 1988 interview with Jim & Chuck

[cheesydarkside]

Wait, so Jim is black? Since when?

[cheesydarkside]

Wait, so Jim is black? Since when?

[cheesydarkside]

Hahaha, Chuck keeps inspecting and asking about Jim and his injuries?! Jim really and i mean really reminds me of Kerry Kings, mannerism and all.

[UsernammanresU]

hilarious



[Treyworld]

Chuck is obviously fucked up in this interview. XD

[McHaddawayHammer]

They asked Jim to play at the LA shows in 2010, but after thinkin' about it - he refused. We really miss him, comeback JIM comeback!

[TheBomber15]

Jim is a great guitarist, but he needs a geography lesson. Britain is in Europe, same with, Ireland, Iceland, Malta, the Faroe's, etc. If the interview had to have said 'mainland Europe', he would have been fine.

[Pedroleum100]

Now we know where FNM had the idea of performing in suites from.

[sab15802000]

This must be one of his last interviews with fnm.

[TheSacredcow024]

"there's 10's and 10's of black people"

-Chuck

[mariolemieux]

comedy gold

[Guitarsthatkill]

"What happened to your hand, Jim...?" "Slipped in the tub."

Broke it punching out Chuck's cousin or roadie Ghandi Joe, according to the bio by Stefan Chizari.

Interesting Chucks said before that. That seemed to be aimed at Jim in recrimination.

[DamonIcke]

@Guitarsthatkill That's what I thought he meant by that. I couldn't remember who it was. I thought it was Chuck he punched. I'll need to reread The Real Story. Surprised they would send those two out for an interview together.

[Guitarsthatkill]

@DamonIcke There was an infraction with Chuck after the fight with Ghandi Joe too, Chuck was pissed at Jim getting his main man Joe sent home, accord to TRS and Jim apparently was just wrestling with Chuck, trying to protect his busted hand.

Ha yeah they musta calmed it down by then....for the time being...

[astrospliff]

- So who are they?

- The people with the money..

[vio2112]

Has anyone else noticed that Jim Martin's voice is almost identical to the actor Zach Galifianakis' voice?

[hootyhaha]

"Uh we haven't been to... European.." HA! :)  Funny when people are nervous what they say. He's trying to play it cool, but he's clearly nervous in the setting.

[mrjcoolness]

Love Jim's Face 7 seconds in

[Coldacre]

as much as I love Chuck, it's not a good idea to do an interview on national tv IN DRAG, complaining about the US government & the theme of racism, when you're strung out on heroin.

[Lavern4101]

@Coldacre Apparently Chuck liked playing the race card. After he was fired he accused the band of getting rid of him because he was black. I like Chuck too but what a dick. 

[kornflakes3]

alguien puede darme el resumen de esta entrevista?? no entendi muy bien lo ke dijeron : (__

[Loquitronick]

El pelo de Chuck jajaja

[prettykitty11111]

What happened to your hand Jim .... "I fell in the tub" lmfao

[mrjcoolness]

That is fucking funny. You can tell the man doing the interview tries to change the subject right away

[56dhf485dhf78gh869d7]

This is Faith no More??? I saw them at Dowload Festival and I didn't see these two guys!

Look in those days these two guys were the main guys in the band, and now, they aren't in the band anymore! that's strange

[nomorerocketships]

they both got fired, not at the same time.

[kingakron]

noooooooooob

[golferjoe22]

This Is What Faith No More Is, even though Mike Patton is the best vocalist ever. If you have the resources check out Jim Martin's (the man on the left) "milk and Blood" album> His solo album, but he wrote a lot of the music for Faith no More or at least the heavier stuff.

[mrjcoolness]

I Love Jim Martin and I always though Chuck's style was very unique.. Milk and Blood was awesome to me. Everyone complains about the vocals but you have to realize that Jim isn't the best singer and you can tell from the album that he probably doesnt give a rats ass..

[hootyhaha]

@mrjcoolness Chuck has a site on myspace now showcasing his new music.

[Raymiles2]

The on the left is the original FNM guitarist Jim Martin and the one on the right is pre-Patton singer Chuck Mosley.

Check out the Introduce Yourself and Angel Dust albums, jeez

[kornflakes3]

ahahahahah

[imugly678]

That Chuck fella sounds like Stuart Smalley

[ickymicky]

Chuck keeps saying "what happened to your hand Jim"? because Jim punched Chuck in a fight.

[Shaquanyquan]

chuck f ing rocks. the album is better than i even expected

[chuckmosley]

Confirmed opening for Korn on July 18th in Milwaukee, WI. Details coming soon.

[addeps3]

That is excellent, mr Mosley, Im sure youll tear the place apart.

BTW, what are your thoughts on the Illuminatis agenda for world domination?

[addeps3]

I think Chucks comments on Jesse Jackson getting assasinated if he where to become to big a threat to the establishment are right on the money. Fortunateley for them he got bought off, so problem solved. (sarcasm)

I also find interesting his claim that the agencies are pushing the dope into the hood in order to dope the people up and not vote.

But his description of what hes wearing is fuckin hilarious!

BTW, anybody notice how they kept kinda interrupting each other?

And was Chuck black? WTF

[LfunkeyA]

Chuck IS black

[pissysteve]

"We haven't been to Europe yet."

"What about in Britain?"

"In Britain, uh... for the most part we did real well."

[Xenomorph52]

haha

[diabolicaholic]

I miss Jim. He had a strong character (visually) completed the other character visually. Patton absolutely better than chuck.

[mrjcoolness]

I agree .. Jim was still and will always be the shit@diabolicaholic

[busenlilly1]

was jim's hand bruised from punching out the roadie that was friends with chuck at the time?

[Wacke666]

yes it was. I just got "The Real Story" (book about FNM) and it says that their roadie attacked Jim and that he later started a new fight with the guy. Jim actually slammed the roadie's (Ghandi) head through the wall ... Jim's a badass, he's awesome! XD

[JosephKuby]

Is The Real Story sold out?

Did Ghandi get brain damage?

[dreaddog]

The Real Story is out ot print ;( but you can find it on Amazon (new from £149.95 used from £24.95) but if your lucky like me you'll find one cheaper on ebay ;D

[JosephKuby]

I read on Wikipedia that in The Real Story, producer Matt Wallace noted that the death of Jim's father was a factor in his departure.

Is that true?

[dreaddog]

Ye thats true at least its one of the contributing factors.

[Lavern4101]

@JosephKuby They may have played a small role but it was mainly because the band just got sick of JIm and needed a change.

[mrjcoolness]

Jim is bad ass.. check out the songs i uploaded from his solo stuff.. if you heard it then its always good to hear it again.. ha@Wacke666

[Wacke666]

@mrjcoolness I have the "Milk & Blood" CD. Got it off an auction site. It's awesome!

[mrjcoolness]

ive always liked it.. wish he would come back and blow our minds@Wacke666

[asd616]

i like chucks clothes

[Referendum1789]

It is a good comment that Mosely makes about Bush and the presidential election.

[LitanyCrash]

God, what fucking idiots! XD No wonder neither of them stuck around for long.

[Torn9696]

XD , nice face ya fucking retard

lets see the contributions to society your dumbass has made

[Ichee12]

I think Jim and Chuck was fighting before this interview... Chuck keep asking him what happen to his hand in a sort of mocking way.

[Bungle975]

Looks like neither one of these guys will be part of the FNM's reunion.

[slantyrock]

jim has an alcoholica t-shirt on :)

[JosephKuby]

I like Jim's alcoholica shirt too. Jim, in terms of talent and intelligence, always kind of strikes me as the black Mick Mars.

[cookie5455]

black?

[JosephKuby]

Brown then. :p

[statebarajas]

It's funny that he mentions how difficult it is to break the mainstream when you have a black guy singing "white music". I can imagine how he felt when they got Patton and then boom, instant hits with The Real Thing.

[davejago]

yeah thats just what I was about to write on here, must've been really horrible for Chuck when Patton came along and confirmed his anxietys, most of the reall thing was allegedly written before Mike Patton joined, would it have been as big a hit if Chuck Mosely had sang on that album?

[slurm1]

It wouldn't have. Mike can sing, Chuck can't.

[davejago]

hah yeah I spose, I like Chucks voice tho, pretty unique, Pattons voice was pretty annoying on the reall thing, that style was better suited to mr bungles first album because it was so cartoony

[durashka123]

That's a bullshit argument: imagine Patton in this interview in Mosley's place. Can you seee him getting ambushed with exchanges like,

MOSLEY: " ... one of the best performers, since... ah... hmm... I don't know..."

INTERVIEWER: "since the last guy who dressed up flamboyantly, I guess."

MOSLEY: "Yeah."

Patton would have torn the guy a new one before allowing himself to be made to look such an inarticulate fool.

[mrjcoolness]

If it were a young patton he may have just smiled and laughed.. Patton used to be a lot nicer guy@durashka123

[dreaddog]

Naw the fact that Patton has better vox than Mosley, Dont get me wrong i love the first 2 albums but but vocally it wasn't gonna go anywhere, lyrically and vocally Patton's a genius. not to mention that Mosley was a fuckin pain not turning up a rehearsals and deciding to sit down on stage and refuse to sing and his substance abuse problem, i love chuck but he had to go. Patton would of tore through that interviewer true. The band still says the music wasn't writen before Patton's arrival.

[statebarajas]

I don't think you understood my comment. I agree that those first two records don't carry the commercial strength that The Real Thing does but as Chuck mentions in this interview, HE feels slighted by the music industry because of his color. So what I meant is that I wonder if he felt that something like the song, "We Care A Lot" deserved more MTV/radio attention than it got at the time. I personally don't feel that his race was a factor in that. But in this interview, he does.

[residue102]

I listened to faith no more for about 5 years before i realised chuck was, umm, black? is that the issue here? i'm not really too sure. seriously do not know why race card is being brought up?

the fact is Patton is a legend whilst mosely is like a pillow, ie, help you go to sleep.

for me, mosely is just piece of shit everyday boring singer, whilst patton activates me. Patton to me is like spinach to popeye, while mosely, just another plate of peas.

[gomachols]

i'll sell you a gallon of Patton's sperm for $20. you can mix it with your Patton Spinach. And make a patton protein drink!

oh, and Pass the Peas Please!

[residue102]

wow that was clever. great. thanks so much.

[statebarajas]

Not all of The Real Thing was written before Patton but check out Faith No More's "New Improved Song" to hear the beginning stages of "The Morning After".

[dreaddog]

Ye i love it and i hear that too but arrangments and stuff can be changed reorganized, I got your comment was just putting my view forward too I dont believe his colour was a factor even tho Chuck did and i dont blame him even these days there's still some rasist assholes, but i think MTV gave FNM enough airplay for the fame that they had at the time and radio's always been lame for playing alt music.

[nukiwimet]

chucks da man

[nukiwimet]

lmfao, " We try too look at the positive aspects of, negativity within the band"...

[kidpink]

great...  !

[Coldacre]

Chuck appears a tad on the stoned side!

[Torn9696]

a tad ?

[Gwitfu90]

I didn't know Harpo sang in Faith No More.

[thedigitalcollective]

good post.never heard chuck speak.i had his thier old stuff though

[thedigitalcollective]

lol i type-o'd lol im a tarded LOL HAHAHAHA

[kimoxxx]

you must be joking...

[sickasamoo]

Chuck is no idiot. He sounds a bit out of it though. (jet lag?)

I must listen to more of his Faith No More.

[cynicaldemon]

"We haven't been in Europe yet"

"What about england?"

LOL'D

[kimoxxx]

what about BRITAIN, actually it's quiet different... (not geographically speaking)

[cynicaldemon]

England and Britain are the same think.

UK/Great Britain = Not same thing.

Thats as far as I know, I'm half brittish ;). If i'm wrong, thanks for the info

[kimoxxx]

nooooo man i was speaking about the difference between Britain and EUROPE :) don't get we wrong !! I lived in both of England and a couple of cities in Europe and I can tell that it's very different :)cheers !

[cynicaldemon]

Ooh, makes much more sense! Very true aswell, although there are alot of other countries in Europe that are very different to others ;)

[CyberCult42]

Ye but back in 88 England was not part of the Ec as it was called then

[Wacke666]

It's pretty funny how this is an FNM interview and either Jim or Chuck would be in the band by 1994 ...

[tractorinmyballs08]

this is the first chuck interview ive seen. thanks =)

[MoratheImpaler]

I like how Chuck asks Jim what happened to his hand. This was right around the time he whacked Chuck on the head with a bottle I believe.

[xR34P3Rx]

alcoholica!!!!!!!!!!!
