I love this song and this concert from Brixton..........Mike Patton is hilarious, he just mummbles....they actually first started rap and metal fusion with the song Epic i think
this is one of the most under rated songs i know of, this is one of the most fantastic songs i know and in my opinion, this is the best faith no more song, and this verison kicks ass!
Nope. I really mean The Real thing :) The element that's everything. If you feel like yr too close, just swallow another dose. Once you have bitten the core you will always know the flavour. :)
No one but Patton has ever managed to put the psychedelic experience into words so well. The real thing is a very, very difficult thing to do justice in descriptive form. A lyrical work of genious! But I guess no less is to be expected from a genious.
@koolaidman10 -From what I read, he is in an annual pumpkin contest every year in the Bay area I believe, and didn't he start Behemoth way back? Jim was underrated, and well, the band was before its time and stands the test of time. This is musical genius!
@gyrusscalvary Underrated is an understatement. As to the founder question, if you mean Behemoth the death/black metal band from Poland, then no there's no way Martin was a founder. Possibly there is another band named Behemoth but I'm not aware if there is. That shirt always made me think whenever I have viewed this performance(The first several dozen times was on videocasette tape a couple decades ago.) Looks like it reads "Half-Life"... a band; or album...?...
God Pattons brilliant and the band is just the perfect compliment to him. FNM is probably my all time favorite band. I only wish they were going to tour the US this time :(
@MMBinNC As great as this live performance is, I'd disagree. The studio version really touches me deeply when I hear it. One of if not the most emotionally charged songs ever.
I saw them in Cincinnati when they broke big in the late 80's. My friend was their A&R rep for Reprise records. Went backstage, took the whole band to our favorite bar and gulp long islands. No after party because we were from fucking lame ass Cincinnati. Epic failure on our part.
29 goin to 30 soon!! I was only 13 on my basement playing the drums to this song. at this age and the future I am what FNM made to be, 'the real thing" is my bible. Amen.
I was there that day too. Before they came on everyone expected Epic era hot pants and dancing about - they opened with caffeine and ripped everyone's face off. The most impressive first track I've ever seen anyone do, still in awe of it.
i really think they blew GNR of the stage that day, i'll be honest with you all i went as a Motley Crue fan that day, but came home obsessed with Faith No More, i remember my chest pounding at the start of Caffeine, i have the gig on casseate tape, i would love to see a video of the show tho
32 years old now heard this for the first time when i was 15 and this sounds every bit as good now as it sounded then. There wasnt one bad song on this album, a true classic
Hellbendzor, i could not have said it better. From this cd to there last, i love them all!!! Ground breaking band!!! Come on FNM, get back together, do it again!!!
Currently 34... The real thing takes me back to when I was 15... 19 years laters still a fan... Too bad they split up... But what a legacy they left behind...
4:56 and 5:19 it came from a great italian singer call Demetrio Stratos. A man able to sing with 2 0r 3 different voices at the same time. Please watch on you to what him is able to do with his voice...please in important to don't forget a great singer die too young
BRING BACK FNM!!! I just want another tour, just one. And it would need to have Patton for sure and Jim Martin, because in great guitar players no one ever brings him up and he's awesome. One of the best albums ever was The Real Thing and I miss FNM :(
...........I love this tune, it has everything you could need from a piece of music!! melody, power, light and shade, brilliant performances all round and just a killer tune!!! The Real Thing CD will allways be one of my most treasured CDs!!! Great album!! Stunning in fact!!
this is the first FNM song ive heard. this is one crazy version from one of the best musicians that ever existed. BTW mike patton looks like brendan fraser in California Man aka Encino Man...lol
I know the feeling It is the real thing The essence of the truth The perfect moment That golden moment I know you feel it too I know the feeling It is the real thing You can't refuse the embrace... It's like the pattern below the skin You gotta reach out and pull it all in And you feel like you're too close So you swallow another dose The pinnacle of happiness
These guys are so rich. It would never happen. Puff Drums for Frickin' Ozzy, Jim grows Giant Pumpkns, Patton has a record label and another band that will never reunite, billy does something music related and Roddy is a rich gay dude in San Fran(not that theres anything wrong w/ that) It will never happen!
