[angeldustnights3000]

[321Breakdown]

Dat bass.

[CAlexandriaR1]

This makes me think of Mr. Bungle in some weird ways.

[treetrunkss940]

@CAlexandriaR1 maybe cuz patton is the front man of bungle

[CAlexandriaR1]

@treetrunkss940 Oh. That explains a lot. How did I miss that?

[badjohnnyisbad]

@CAlexandriaR1 LOL

[CAlexandriaR1]

@badjohnnyisbad yup. I feel ashamed.

[SpartanLaserCanon]

Mike Patton understood the 21st century before it even began

[stranglechrist206]

this song is about the church of scientology...the phrases he speaks in the middle of the song are questions in the stress test...do you often sing and whistle just for fun, such like

[fuckamericanidiot]

i love that Bungle are linked in FNM videos :)

[kcz90]

puta la wea, q vuelvan de nuevo a Chile y la toquen. solo me falta escuchar esta cancion y cumplo mi sueño de escucharla en vivo :D

[ohboypokemon]

doo da doooo dee dooo

[TheMTG22]

5 people can't pat themselves on the back and give themselves a handshake.

[YoussefFishere]

@TheMTG22 I can't do that either...not at the same time.

[danielgwenny]

My favorite song they play live.

[fabiokaminski]

oh, i´ve missed that BASS all those years!

[asabas100]

tap yourself from the back and give yourself handshake very motivationing :)

[SubliminalGlue]

How in the Frack are they gonna have a reunion with no Jim Martin. I call Shannanigans!... Oh and best bass line ever!

[stayasleepopeneye]

who are the four people that dislike this ?

[cooldiscodan98]

@stayasleepopeneye Chuck Mosley and his 3 friends? ;)

[MrJoshuaTozer]

@cooldiscodan98

Hey now, leave Mosley out of this. He's awesome

[Cluetear]

I just hear so much Dog Fashion Disco in this!

[HideYourScreams]

@Cluetear Or you hear so much of this in Dog Fashion Disco?  this is earlier than DFD

[tinfoilhatter]

your future,your future.. AH-HAHAHAHAHAHA

[phreestylesk8r]

bought this album after hearing ths song. one of the best deciscions ever made!

[nazizombies266]

Faith is the shit,, Grew up with that and Metallica... BEST Ever is FNM Underground as they could be...

[Gham121]

Sorry guys, the 3 people who disliked this are my neighbours!

[tod4y]

The beautiful picture hints us what a grat content it covers.

[oxycleansucks]

Listen to this song while peaking on some good acid. It will send to to the land of sunshine. It's like a roller coaster of feeling enlightened then suddenly you feel like you're losing your mind.

[MegaSoulSearcher]

@oxycleansucks >> Yeah, his voice is bad ass with the syns in the background. Crazy. Not to mention the bass...

[LukeGNR94]

i will sing and rejoice, mike (:

[flamethrower66]

Oh yes...I was addicted to this Cassette when I was a teen!! Yes CASSETTE!!!!

[quickstopjay]

2401 people just patted themselves on the back and gave themselves a handshake

[xXNuclearWarXx]

Thumbs up if you've opened a fortune cookie that contained a line from this song.

[Lepiotaphage]

@xXNuclearWarXx I don't usually give thumbs up to people who actually request it, but that was terrific.

[HumphreyapplebySir]

@xXNuclearWarXx most of the lyrics are actually questions from the scientologist's Oxford capacity analyis test. He probably said they came from fortune cookies to avoid getting sued by the sue happy scientologists.

[xXNuclearWarXx]

@HumphreyapplebySir I've actually gotten one of these lines in a fortune cookie. I eat a lot of Chinese.

"Life to you is a dashing and bold adventure"

But you're right, many of them come from the free personality test.

[whoquiensabe]

man this has something else in it doesn't it. genious. bought it the second it came ot, on tape, ha HA

[joeblack173]

Faith no more is the meaniest, most ridiculously evil and sexyest band ever... angel dust has pretty scary shit in it. so if you like terror movies listen to faith no more, it´s as scary as it gets...

[sadisticintent6sic6]

This (Angel Dust) was the very firs CD i bought when i was 12. I actually wanted it on cassette tape considering that I wasn't entirely sold on the whole CD's and their annoying tendency to skip, but I couldn't for the life of me find it on cassette so i gave in and got it on CD. Only problem was I didn't own a CD player at the time. I guess you can say that I REALLY wanted it :)

[chase21322]

Seriously...one of the best songs ever. FNM...now these guys are the definition of MUSICIANS!

[FilthCrow]

When I used to listen to this on repeat as a kid, I always thought the end of the chorus said "BEER's out of order". Now it makes waaaaay more sense.

[gutts077]

Ah, a song written entirely from fortune cookies. Patton the resourceful!

[booboo69booboo69]

lovely!

[icucmetoo1]

perfect,,,,,patton,,,,,,there,­s just one,,,,,,

[CaptainHowdyxD]

Best opening track to an album.

[unclearthur68]

Angel Dust vs Real Thing- discuss....

[CaptainHowdyxD]

@unclearthur68

They're both completely different albums, in a way.

I guess maybe Mike Patton had more of an influence on Angel Dust than what he did on The Real Thing. I know that Jim didn't do too much in Angel Dust. Personally, I think Angel Dust is the superior album. I mean, it's my favourite FNM album, and one of my two favourite albums of all time (My other being Mr. Bungle's 'Disco Volante').

[LukeGNR94]

@CaptainHowdyxD I prefer Mr.Bungle's California, But this is my favourite FNM album, although every album is pure genius from start to finish.

[thefek]

@unclearthur68 Angel Dust is the best album ever made, so it wins.

[Kragnorak]

@unclearthur68

Real Thing has Zombie Eaters, but still has a few "samey" tunes. I like that each member (except Puffy) abstains from playing on one song or another on that album.

Angel Dust is artistically superior, better produced and is fueled by 'Caffeine'. Instant win.

[darwinlachance]

i cant believe this came out in 92, ive been listening to this albim since the early 2000s. still better than the shit i listen to now

[manji575]

*eargasm....

[dakodarollins]

in my opinion, better than their first album

[zombieholic]

In my humble opinion,This album was SOOO underated it makes you cry! this album is absolutely amazing!!

[Awayze]

I fucking LOVE FNM!!!

[MrKillerhaven]

one of my favorite songs all time

[fondueman1972]

an epic of an album...Rock Class indeed. Bar none.

[biakaba]

Its ridiculous how good this shit is....really. Its like the really good cocaine that doesn't mess up your throat and nasal passages...just smooth with a great pay off.

[SirNatebro]

It's like a joyful bike ride of friendship and merriment through the screaming depths of hell.

[75zxQ]

"Heres how to order"

[rhythm2007mc]

I like the bass in this and the fun fair mad house excentricity :)

[TheHeadshotVictim]

So I happened upon this song by good fortune. I am unsure whether I like this song or just like certain things about it. Either way, I think I am agreed upon the fact that it took talent to make this.

[Seligsuper]

I love how every single Faith No More fan that comments on here is smart. Not mocking other bands of the same genre or recent pop artists.

[yovioleatuzorramadre]

@Seligsuper every fnm/mike patton ball sucker is a douchebag that think that knows about music, just like tool/maynard fan base

[Seligsuper]

@yovioleatuzorramadre Interesting.

[yovioleatuzorramadre]

@Seligsuper is not interesting, is lame

[MyShurikenInYour]

@yovioleatuzorramadre you know ive been on just about every faith no more vid and i see you talkin shit. if you dont like em fuck off simple as that

[georyde]

does life seem worthwhile to you?

[ingitvoninglesworth]

i recently received a fortune cookie that told me "Good fortune is smiling upon you"...i framed it.

[Papawill13]

@ingitvoninglesworth I recently got a fortune cookie that said "This Fortune Cookie has been sitting next to the Washing Machine for 3 Weeks." I threw it away....

[Simonet25]

Fuck I love this song...the whole album shreds! Bummed FNM never got the success they deserved!

[akira515]

@Simonet25 them not getting success was a good thing they could have had it after they released real thing they were going to blow up. Patton made this album so commercially unfriendly so they didnt become famous also this album sounds more like a mr.bungle album

[Simonet25]

@akira515 Me thinks checking out some Mr. Bungle is next on my list! Well they did some commercially viable covers everyone equal or better than the original. I don't know how many times Angeldust was the soundtrack for the road trips back and forth from college and the occasional weekend Trip...great fuckin' memories!

[thumpervids]

respect to these guys for bringing this out when they could have just grabbed bob cock and started churning out crap.

thanks for being a staple in my collection

[thumpervids]

here's how to order.

[horrorchicken]

Here's how to order! :)

[busted4life601]

I like this song, and I might get shit for this, but I'll say it anyway, listening to this song, the one thing that comes to mind is Mushroomhead, specifically the earlier material.

[rawsheep]

This song was made from fortune cookies, 100% serious.

[Rammagith]

@rawsheep I remember Patton mentioning that in an article. The entire CD seems to have a story behind it (caffeine~he stayed up for 3 nights, Be Aggressive~his dad was a coach and "he always wanted to win, etc). A true masterpiece.

[WolfpackUnleashed]

@Rammagith

The part about he's dad being a coach was said about A Small Victory, nevertheless this album IS a masterpiece

[maritree]

yes mmhmmm now for the next question ..does emotional music have quite an effect on you

mike is a legend!

the drummer and bassist in this band are fkn amazing!!!!

[eloann]

This album made me a bassist... well, not straight away but you get the idea

[insanity21376]

@eloann You picked a damn good bassist to inspire & influence you ... Billy Gould is an underrated genius.

[utarefsonmetushelac]

the very first time i heard this song i was thirteen it was in my future ex girlfriend disc man.. we had a really great time together

[Dallasboy678]

This is weird, I saw the Download special on VH1 Classic and when they did this song, I thought it was annoying bullshit. But now I that I heard the studio version, it's really good! I like it!

[Mikzuu94]

Shit, i think my eardrum just blew up :/ really :S ****!

[ghostonesixnine]

ah, memories of way too much LSD, sometimes i miss my childhood, then again i'm fried now, hmm. c'est la vie

[utarefsonmetushelac]

@ghostonesixnine gonna hit LSD tonight c'est la vie lolololololol

[Starcraftfan911]

adderall is methamphetamine did you know that?

[lordvomit]

@Starcraftfan911 not true...adderall is an amphetemine, a class 1 narcotic, while methamphetamine is a class 2

[DrWillard420]

@lordvomit  amphetamines are still class 2, but you're right; Adderall is not math.

[DrWillard420]

@lordvomit Amphetamines are still class 2, but Adderall is not meth.

[DrWillard420]

@Starcraftfan911 Adderall is dextroamphpetamine

[procritic09]

I love the "I can help you i can help you HELP YOU!!" This is one of my 3 favourite FNM songs.

[FullmetalAnimator]

Does emotional music have quiet an effect on you?

[Mikeus2006]

The lyrics for this song are from fortune cookies and a book by L. Ron. Hubbard (scientology)

[opti95]

I- i can help-i can help you- i can help you help you're self!!

[donibard]

best album in the history of humanity

[warcraftfan911]

poor swan what a mean thing to do to a swan.

[warcraftfan911]

i love em

[HiveDes]

"do you often sing or whistle just for fun?"

Even back in 1992 Mike Patton knew $cientology was full of shit

[theunknownknows]

I always thought this song was about middle aged and elderly people buying into motivational speakers like Tony Robbins.

[bitbeats333]

this album was so far ahead of its time. I think it scared the hell out of people when it came out. turn on any hard rock station today and you'll hear this album in practically every song, but nobody even comes close. there has been nothing like it before or since.

much respect

[thesurfsflat]

I cannot agree more, great comment!

[Jimihendrix6699]

@bitbeats333 you know what album was ahead of its time. Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath

[runthemachine]

@bitbeats333 I SO agree. The 'darkness' of this album was (and is still!) just flat-out disturbing. And the brilliance is undeniable, unless you're musically brain-dead.

I wear it all out in my head for a week or two, unable to shake the beautiful, haunting music from my mind, and then I 'go away' from it for a few months... and then I come back. Invariably.

This album is like delicious, fattening food, or maybe a wicked drug like heroin. I know I'm hopelessly hooked. Rehab hasn't helped. =)

[termuralliance]

@bitbeats333

Get a grip

\

[TheBuddyray]

@bitbeats333 didnt scare me!

[MsDeandrea]

@bitbeats333 I stopped listenin after i heard "epic" man these men can play!!!

[insanity21376]

@MsDeandrea Actually, Epic wasn't on this album, it was on The Real Thing which was the album before Angel Dust. That being said, both albums are equally epic ;)

[dylanfan1969]

@bitbeats333 It was a lot different from The Real Thing. Much more mature and "Mike" influenced. One of my favorite albums of the 90s. The best decade in music.

[manss2001]

Isnt this song a bunch of fortune cookie fortunes?

[Dose0fReality]

Heh I was at a chinese restaurant a couple years ago and my fortune cookie said 'life to you is a dashing bold adventure.'

[charlieclockwerk]

this entire song was written off of fortune cookies

[opti95]

i heard that it was written off of a Scientology pamphlet. (excuse the spelling)

[charlieclockwerk]

@opti95 not according to Patton himself. If you order an entire box of those cookies you will find at least 4 oof these lines on them.

[runthemachine]

@charlieclockwerk funny you say that...

I was at a Chinese buffet for lunch today in Jersey, not far from the shore. No matter how much I've loaded up on all the endless seafood & spicy goodness, I always HAVE to grab my fortune cookie (and I superstitiously eat a small piece so it will come true =). My fortune today said "you are headed for a land of sunshine" (honest), and as soon as I got home from my awesome camping & shore trip weekend... I had to hear this song. Best FNM album, EVER.

[tossingmidgetsforfun]

@runthemachine Most of the lyrics are taken from fortune cookies.Do you often sing or whistle just for fun? Do you feel sometimes age is against you? and Does emotional music have quite an effect on you? are taken from the Oxford capacity personality test,Patton wrote this and Caffeine while he was doing a sleep deprivation experiment on himself.

[runthemachine]

@tossingmidgetsforfun Interesting info. FNM is coming to Philly (I live right across the River) on July 3rd, to the Mann Center, for one of just a handful of North American dates.

I'm amped. =)

Peace

[priapus]

Faith No More went down the tubes (for me at least) after they kicked Jim Martin out of the band. His muscular rhythm guitar as evidenced on this album was an indispensable ingredient of their sound.

[RandomCommenter10]

I completely disagree, While I think Angel Dust was their best album, Martin does very little in this album (self admitted that he had no idea what to play to keep up with the others). They started going in many directions in this album, and Jim was kicked out because he wanted nothing to do with it.

[phuturephunk]

Don't get me wrong, I thought Big Jim was awesome, but you gotta admit that Billy Gould had one of the most distinctive bass playing sounds ever.

[Idey1994]

jim only wrote guitar for two songs on this album, the rest was mainly gould I think

[CoachIronNB]

This song is a masterpiece

[edmundos01]

chile is faith no more

[faustosBoyfriend]

yeah it's worthwhile.

even when it's not.

What else are you going to do.

[therawuncut]

does life seem worthwhile to you?

[thewayside0]

perfect album

[gladeplugins]

Awesome song.
