I don't remember in which FB group I read it, but they said that Imani Coppola was very vocal about her personal relationship with Mike. Someone said that she was very specific during an interview, but I can't find it. Apparently she was very open talking about their private "activities" if you know what I mean.

Oook I listened to both versions of "24000 baci" and gotta say Mike's Italian is pretty solid again. Sometimes he mispronounces some tricky sounds, probably when he doesn't speak Italian for a while. Well, no hiccups in these two gigs. Bravo Michele.

OMG Roddy is live on IG now and he said that he really doesnt know if FNM will tour again but he said that they are all in contact. He added that the 2015 tour was a surprise to him too so he said "who knows, maybe!".

I remember that interview and after more than 2 years I'm wondering what happened. And I don't know why but "L'odio e l'amore" from the film "Diabolik chi sei?" it hasn't released yet, 3 months after the movie's premiere.

I was thinking about it just a few days ago. Mr. Bungle is touring across four continents this year, including Asia, where they have never been before. My thought was: is this the end? They are all almost 60, and there are no indications of a new album. Strangely, Mike hasn't released an album since 2020, and Ian, Trevor, and Dave have their own significant projects. It seems like a farewell.

Who knows if Mike will join FNM for a last tour in 2025 and if that will mark his retirement from touring.

Bär McKinnon follows me on IG and left a comment today. I'm laughing so hard I can't explain.

Edit: Mike's mom liked one of my comments in a FNM group.

WHAT'S GOING ON HERE??

Mike Patton speaking italian: birthday edition

So today is Mike's birthday and I'll celebrate with some quick translation.

Video 1: Tomahawk, Milan, 2013.

Milano, tutto a posto? Bene. Siete molto ma molto gentili per un gruppo da spalla! Min 0:29: lui pensa che stavo parlando della pasta... Eh già! Insomma, questo è un chill! Un pezzo chill, hai capito? (he said it in a Neapolitan accent, LOL). Chill! (a guy in the audience answered "agg capit", in Neapolitan way). Sai cosa vuol dire? Tranquillo! (again, same accent). Va bene? Dai, NIN, (something I didn't get), minchia! Per adesso, fucking chill motherfuckes!

Milan, everything okay? Great. You're really nice with a support band! At 0:29: he thinks I was talking about pasta... Oh yeah! So, this is a chill! A chill song, you got it? Chill! Do you know what it means? Relax! Okay? Come on, NIN, fuck! For now, fucking chill, motherfuckers!

Video 2: mix of epic stuff

0:03: Mike, piacere // Mike, nice to meet you (you can find the whole translation of that video here)

0:05: La fica! // The pussy! (He was in Brazil and "fica" is a conjugation of the verb "ficar", I guess. As you can see, in italian "fica" or "figa" has another meaning eheheheh).

0:06: Lui sta dicendo che vuole un cazzone! He is saying he wants a big cock! (you can find the whole translation of that video here)

0:08: Fica fica fica fica! // Pussy pussy pussy pussy!

0:10: Io mangio la merda del papa // I eat the pope's shit.

0:15: Ah si vede che sei intenditore! // You can tell he's a connoisseur!

0:17: Cazzarola! // As I've already said in the translation of this specific video, it's a term we use to say "cazzo" (=dick, but in the meaning of "fuck!") but in a less vulgar way. It's not really a swear word; in central Italy, "cazzarola" means "pot".

0:20: È un pochetto, un pochino diversa! // It is a bit different!

0:22: Negroni, grappa, Martini (3 famous italian alcoholic drinks; I love those "sì" in the middle)

0:26: È un bel lavoro! // It's quite a job!

0:29: Pirla! // Pirla! (It's a typical Milanese insult, and it roughly means "stupid". Plural or singular, it is always "pirla").

0:31: siamo contentissimi di essere qua // We are very happy to be here.

0:33: 'sti cazzo di Milanesi! // These fucking milanese people!

0:34: sì, tipo, sì// Yeah, I mean, yeah.

0:36: devi imparare, cazzo! // You have to learn it, damn it!

0:41: magari cresce un po' così! // Maybe it grows a bit like this.

0:43: ma va a cagare! (I can translate it with "Fuck off" or "go to hell" but it litelly means "Go and take a shit". We use it a lot)

0:45: daje daje milanesi! Come on, Milanesi! ("Daje" is absolutely Roman style. It has many uses, but most commonly, it's a way to say 'come on').

0:47: mi han detto che...// They told me that...

0:48: Cazzarola!

0:49: sì sì mi ricordo // yeah yeah I remember that!

0:50: volete Vasco Rossi // You want Vasco Rossi (again, as I've already said in the translation of this specific video, Vasco Rossi is a famous Italian rock star, but he is controversial because he hasn't done anything significant since at least 1998. Mike knows that metalheads hate Vasco).

0:57: è proprio un idolo // He is truly an idol (he was talking about Demetrio Stratos, I'm quite sure Mike doesn't like Vasco, LOL)

0:58: dai un po' d'Eros, cazzo! // Come on, a bit of Eros, damn! (Eros Ramazzotti is a popular italian pop singer. By the way, I'm not sure about exactly what he said, but he was definitely talking about Ramazzotti).

Buon compleanno Michele (I'd love him to stir me with his finger, just like he does with wine).

Easy, 1:43.

Be aggressive, 2:59.

His voice is unbearable hot.

Thank you mr Mike Patton.

[laferocia]

Alright, I got it. Finally figured out what's different in Mike's eyes these days, imho. Up until like 2012, he'd give people this look like, "I'm wanna fuck you all, and I know you're into it". After that time, he was still confident, just more rage than charm. From 2018 to 2021, he seemed just tired, lacking that self-assured vibe. Now, I see the rage again, but it's like the whole sexy, confident attitude is gone.

Dear Santa, could you please:

1) Bring back that haircut

2) Bring back that self-aware cool attitude

Thanks. Buon Natale!

So - let's say you wanted to go DEEP into Faith No More's live performances of Jizzlobber? And see all the ways Mike can fuck himself up on stage. Well, here you go - a compiled list of all the AD tour videos with this song (that I could find) and some lite commentary. gifs are from Warfield 1992

Edit: Hanover, Germany, Jun 3 1992 - (starts at 32:20) Mike what are you doing to that poor box?

Edit: Torino, Italy, Jun 26 1992 - (starts at 46:10) Ah! I found it, Mike screaming into the void (but I think the supercut shots are from Chinese Arithmetic)

Amsterdam, Holland, Jun 22 1992 - fairly reserved, Mike plays Puff's cymbals

Roskilde Festival, Denmark, Jun 25 1992 - (starts at 32:29) gas station Mike, fighting invisible people, and we're gettin' ~creepy~

Wasahallen Stadium, Sweden, Jul 3 1993 - (starts at 41:15) more invisible fighters, and a flip!

Edit: Milwaukee, WI, US, Jul 23 1992 - (starts 27:35) shit, how could i forget Modjeska!?! Roddy is definitely dead, Mike's spine is definitely crushed, Mike's slow build headbang is everything

The Warfield, CA, US, Aug 19 1992 - absolutely batshit crazy, and somehow Mike stays beautiful

Shippensburg, PA, US, Oct 16 1992 - (starts at 55:38) somehow Roddy is more nuts during this one, not much camera time on Mike

Saint Louis, MO, US, Sept 18 1992 - (starts at 48:22) "you wanna see me naked? it's ok, i love you too"

Columbus, OH, US, Sept 23 1992 - (starts at 49:10) Mike flips over Roddy, Roddy flips into the crowd, Mike flips straight onto his back, absolute chaos

Philadelphia, PA, US, Oct 17 1992 - (starts at 45:07) the video quality is really strange on this one? otherwise only a normal amount of nuts

Gothenburg, Sweden, Oct 30 1992 - (starts at 52:20) that light is so fucking bright, good thing Mike's grunting increases, Reese's shirt!

Edit: Stockholm, Sweden, Oct 31 1992 - (starts at 50:40) Mike and the mic stand DO NOT get along, Mike jumps into the astral plane

Edit: Munich, Germany, Nov 11 1992 - (starts at 55:37) What's FNM's opinion on giraffes? "I'll fuck it"

Aschaffenburg, Germany, Nov 17 1992 - (starts at 57:25) "what does it SAY??" I am almost certain Mike kills someone when he flips into the audience...he jumps SO HIGH

Edit: Koblenz, Germany, Nov 19 1992 - (starts at 55:25) funky video edits on this one, but...is he humping the monitor?? jfc mike

Brixton Academy, England, Nov 26 1992 - (starts 57:24) that little 180 jump Mike does kinda kill me - otherwise not a lot of Mike time

Sheffield, England, Dec 5 1992 - (starts 57:55) almost didn't add this one - video is either dark, out of focus or wildly astray for most of it

Milan, Italy, Dec 17 1992 - (starts at 53:46) ok - I could write a whole dissertation on this - bc WHAT THE FUCK MIKE

The Warfield, CA, US, Jan 20 1993 - (starts at 54:20) the band chanting "fuck me" at the beginning is still good, not as bonkers as Warfield 1992 but his voice is deeper, darker, and does make me wanna fuck...wait...is he just slamming himself at the monitor??

Hollywood Palladium, CA, US, Jan 22 1993 - (starts 56:10) the camera angle switches partway through and we somehow end up behind them? and then it cuts to the end 😭, but Hawaiian shirt Mike

Wellington, New Zealand, May 13 1993 - (starts 1:05:56) god i love 1993 Mike's voice, but i do not know how his throat does not end up broken

Christchurch, New Zealand, May 16 1993 - (starts at 1:05:57) seeing Mike just frolic into Jim's frame is pretty great, that's a squat right there

Berlin, Germany, Jun 4 1993 - (starts at 54:44) red shirt mike barely keeps himself from landing head first into the drum riser, this one seems...angry?? and flips in 1993!

Lisbon, Portugal, Jun 26 1993 - oof the sound on this one is real bad, but Mike is in fine form - jacking off the water bottle, and he definitely lands face first

Phoenix Festival, England, Jul 17 1993 - Jim's last show, and Mike is appropriately unhinged™

Bonus: someone did a supercut of best bits
