The guitarist (dude in red glasses) always seemed a lot older than the rest of the band.

Jim Martin. Yeah, he did. Dude is an amazing guitarist though.

My band opened for FNM on The Real Thing tour 1989. Fun show. Mike Bordin, Billy Gould and Roddy are just about the nicest people you could meet. They loved our band, watched our whole set and mentioned us in Kerrang as one of their favorite opening acts. They also told a couple of A&R people about us so we were getting calls from record companies. Just really genuinely good people.

Yep. He grows big ass pumpkins. I guess if it makes him happy, then right on.

He didn't like Roddy being gay, so pumpkins it is.

bradleynowellsguitar t1_j9twetp wrote

That's a lie. He was interviewed and said the whole band knew Roddy was gay for years and no one ever had a problem with it.

He didn't like the direction the band was going in, and left after Angel Dust because he wasn't happy.

Well, at least we have Angel Dust. Top 20 album for me.

"Be Aggressive" on Angeldust was written and recorded to settle a bet by Roddy as to whether Patton could/would write a song about giving a blowjob.

MuricanDeathTriangle t1_j9u9ewg wrote

No, that was Anthony Keidis and Flea who talked shit about Roddy.

Mr. Bungle going onstage as the chilli peppers strung out on heroin is a classic musical moment.

So great. RCHP were such dicks, but the music industry loves a fuckin clown show and shameless self promoters.

I met Patton at a Soulfly show in NY. He denied it was him as did the blonde lady that was with him. They kept exchanging glances like they had an inside joke no one knew. My buddy and I chatted them up for a minute and went on our way. It was a cool experience.

MuricanDeathTriangle t1_j9ufhmw wrote

Sounds about right, lol. He's a bit of a dick, reportedly, but not like aggro, just a "chip on the shoulder" kinda attitude. Single most talented male vocalist in a generation, no one matches his range.

Greatest band ever!

Definitely up there. Chuck Mosley (R.I.P.) will always have a special place in my heart. Introduce Yourself was the first FNM album I bought, but with Mike Patton, they took it to a whole other level. Particularly on Angel Dust.

atrostophy t1_j9tk1se wrote

My first FNM album was The Real Thing so I didn't know about Mosley until later. He brought a definite different vibe to the music.

Meanwhile when people ask me who Mike Patton is I show the interview where he's eating a sandwich and then the videos where he sings opera music

i saw him spend 2 hrs vocalizing insanity with rahzel (with a backup DJ and random percussionists/musicians) probably a top 3 live show experience

Same I was like 11 or 12 and a skater kid friend of mine (Hope you're doing well, Pat O'Brien!) pirated TRT on some "learn German" audiotapes stolen from the library, and it blew my mind. Ripped Introduce Yourself right after.

I was today years old when I learned that Mike Patton was not the original vocalist of FNM. I am looking forward to checking out the Mosely years. RIP

So_Do_You_Like_Stuff OP t1_j9twq8k wrote

Yeah, Mosley was the singer for the first 2 records. “We Care A Lot” and “Introduce Yourself”. Mike didn’t come along until “The Real Thing” in ‘89… Well, he joined FNM in ‘88 after Chuck left.

I saw this band open for a local Quebec band called Voivod… a long time ago. Some band called Soundgarden was bottom of the bill.

Wait’ll they learn Courtney Love was there even before Chuck.

Exactly. I’m so glad that didn’t last. She’s a disaster and always has been.

Fun fact. Went to HS Dance that they played at.

Read somewhere that Courtney Love was on the band prior to this. Is this true? Could be someone messing with me. And have a great weekend, everyone!

So_Do_You_Like_Stuff OP t1_j9vgsfn wrote

Yep. She was in the band for a very short time. She was a horrible fit, and the band didn’t get along with her, so, she was out. There’s videos of her with FNM on youtube. I’m glad it didn’t work out with her is the nicest thing I’ll say about that.

So sad that Chuck had passed away.

Were they the first nu metal band?

So_Do_You_Like_Stuff OP t1_j9vn3pm wrote

I wouldn’t really call FNM nu metal. When I think of that term, I think of bands like Korn, Limp Bizkit, or bands like that. Now, if we’re talking about bands that combine many genres, you can maybe say that about them.
