book |

Place any musical style in front of Faith No More, and seemingly, a timeless song of their own would soon be created. Between 1985-1997, Faith No More issued six full-length recordings (including such classic titles as 'The Real Thing' and 'Angel Dust') and in the process, influenced countless musicians throughout the world. But that's not to say it was smooth sailing - members coming and going, inter-band bickering, never being the toast of the critics, etc. And much of the same could be said about the zanier Mr. Bungle, which also featured FNM singer Mike Patton. Now, for the first time ever, there is a book that explores and analyzes both bands' histories - 'The Faith No More & Mr. Bungle Companion.' Interviews include: Wes Borland (Black Light Burns/Limp Bizkit), Max Cavalera (Soulfly/ex-Sepultura), Johnny Christ (Avenged Sevenfold), Gilby Clarke (ex-Guns N' Roses), Everlast (House of Pain/solo artist), Mike Fleischmann (Vision of Disorder), John Garcia (Vista Chino/ex-Kyuss), Mitts (Madball), Angelo Moore (Fishbone), Jason Newsted (Newsted/ex-Metallica), Travis Stever (Coheed and Cambria), Kim Thayil (Soundgarden), Devin Townsend (Devin Townsend Project/ex-Strapping Young Lad), Ville Valo (HIM), and Jeff Walker (Carcass). Finally, a complete and thorough overview of Faith No More and Mr. Bungle's careers...strap yourself in and/or hold on tight! |

Faith No More: Królowie życia i inne nadużycia
|
Maciej Krzywinski
|
2016 |
book |
worldwide |
Klawiszowiec Faith No More, Roddy Bottum, powiedział kiedyś, że przyszło mu grać w bardzo dziwnym zespole. Wcale się nie krygował. Nie kpił. Nie robił sobie jaj. Autentycznie nie mógł nadziwić się, jak dziwnemu przedsięwzięciu poświęcił ponad dwie dekady swojego życia.
Dziwny jest zespół, który nigdy nie miał zamiaru dopasować się do oczekiwań świata. A może dziwny jest świat, który czasem nie nadążał za zwrotami akcji dyktowanymi przez Faith No More?
Dziwny jest zespół, którego członkowie przez długie lata za sobą nie przepadali. A mimo to nagrywali w takiej konfiguracji muzykę, która bawi i straszy. A także dziwi.
Dziwny jest zespół, którego wokalista nie chce pić piwa, bo woli je… nosić. Nie dźwigać skrzynki, tylko nosić jak, na przykład, koszulę.
Dziwny jest zespół, który postanawia promować pierwszy od osiemnastu lat album piosenką, której tytuł radiowcom z trudem przechodzi przez usta. A polskie tłumaczenie tego tytułu może przyprawić Ryszarda Nowaka o zawał.
Dziwny jest zespół, który nie ma oporów, by piosenkę o ekskrementach śpiewać w scenerii złożonej ze świeżych kwiatów.
Dziwny jest zespół, który lubi irytować słuchaczy, którzy przyszli na jego koncert.
Ale – jak ujął to Joker w filmie „Mroczny rycerz” – „Co cię nie zabija, czyni cię dziwniejszym”. „Królowie życia (i inne nadużycia)” to książka o tym, jak Faith No More nie dali się zabić.
Faith No More keyboardist Roddy Bottum once said that he had to play in a very strange band. He wasn't hiding at all. He wasn't mocking. He wasn't making a fool of himself. He genuinely couldn't believe how strange an undertaking he had devoted over two decades of his life to.
A strange band is one that never intended to conform to the world's expectations. Or maybe a strange world that sometimes couldn't keep up with the twists and turns dictated by Faith No More? A
strange band is one whose members didn't like each other for many years. And yet they recorded music in such a configuration that amuses and scares. And also surprises. A
strange band is one whose vocalist doesn't want to drink beer because he prefers to... carry it. Not carry a crate, but wear it like, for example, a shirt. A
strange band is one that decides to promote its first album in eighteen years with a song whose title is hard for radio people to say. And the Polish translation of this title could give Ryszard Nowak a heart attack.
It's a strange band that has no qualms about singing a song about excrement in a setting of fresh flowers.
It's a strange band that enjoys irritating the audience that came to their concert.
But as the Joker put it in the movie "The Dark Knight," "What doesn't kill you makes you weirder." "Kings of Life (and Other Abuse)" is a book about how Faith No More didn't get themselves killed. |

small victories: the true story of faith no more |

Small Victories: The True Story of Faith No More is the definitive biography of one of the most intriguing bands of the late twentieth century. Written with the participation of the group's key members, it tells how such a heterogeneous group formed, flourished, and fractured, and how Faith No More helped redefine rock, metal and alternative music. The book chronicles the creative and personal tensions that defined and fueled the band, forensically examines the band's beginnings in San Francisco's post-punk wasteland, and charts the factors behind the group's ascent to MTV-era stardom.
Small Victories strips away the mythology and misinformation behind their misanthropic masterpiece Angel Dust, explores the rationale behind the frequent hiring and firing of band members, and traces the unraveling of the band in the mid-1990s. It also examines the band's breakup and hiatus, explores their unwelcome legacy as nu-metal godfathers, and gives a behind-the-scenes view of their rebirth.
Based on meticulous research and hundreds of interviews with current and former band members and other key figures, Small Victories combines a fan's passion with a reporter's perspicacity. |

reintroducing chuck mosley: life on and off the road |

One hundred sixty shows, two rushed recording sessions, a reunion with an old band, and a Hail Mary shot at a comeback represent the tip of the iceberg of my twenty-year journey with Chuck Mosley.
Chuck (Faith No More, Bad Brains, Cement) toured the globe as a vocalist, appeared on magazine covers, rubbed elbows with idols, and, through it all, he remained 100% convinced he didn’t deserve your praise. Yet, he desired acceptance more than almost anything else.
A self-proclaimed “junkie and a liar,” Chuck shot himself in the foot over and over by shooting up elsewhere on his body. Meanwhile, I stumbled and fumbled and pushed and pulled and scraped and cried and begged and borrowed to earn him extra chances to prove himself. We loaded a van with a guitar, a conga, and an unfinished legacy hoping to reintroduce the world to Chuck Mosley.
Jonathan Davis of Korn: “I was blown away by his voice. So original. Chuck has a great style that you can tell it’s him as soon as he starts singing. I’m a big fan and I was honored when he asked me to appear on his new stuff.”
DMC of RUN-DMC: “Some of Chuck’s and Faith No More’s songs sound like we all come from the same family! He tore shit up!!!!”
Matt Wallace (Producer: Faith No More, Maroon Five, The Replacements): “I was always a fan of his … He wore his heart on his sleeve … I thought he was pretty fearless to sing about some of the things he sang about.” |

faith no more in the 1990s: decades |

It may have taken them a few years to achieve a stable line-up, but Faith No More did just that with the arrival of enigmatic frontman, Mike Patton in 1988. By 1990, the San Francisco quintet were flying high on the back of their third album, The Real Thing, and the influential anthem for a generation, ‘Epic’. Becoming a household name and mainstream chart botherers with colourful and diverse songs ranging in style from heavy metal to jazz, and rap rock to lounge music, Faith No More refused to follow trends and instead pushed forward with a gung-ho attitude and a talent for songwriting built around sonic experimentation. The band released the critically acclaimed Angel Dust, as well as King for a Day…Fool for a Lifetime and the ironically titled Album of the Year records, before stunning fans by parting ways in 1998. Faith No More in the 1990s is the story of a largely rewarding but tension-filled decade for rock music’s greatest underdogs. Providing a detailed timeline of events, frenetic touring schedules, and most importantly- the songs, this book documents the rise and progression of one of the most distinctive bands of all time. |

Faith No More, The Essential History dives deep into the journey of one of the most influential alternative rock bands of the late 20th century. Written by historian and author William Shane Cormier, this book explores the raw, genre-defying sound that made Faith No More a trailblazer in the music world. From their early days in San Francisco’s underground scene to their rise to fame with albums like The Real Thing and Angel Dust, Faith No More continually broke the mold, blending metal, funk, jazz, and experimental sounds to create something wholly unique.
This essential history covers the highs and lows of the band’s career, including the turbulent departure of frontman Chuck Mosley, the iconic tenure of Mike Patton, and the tensions that arose during their tour with Guns N’ Roses and Metallica. The book also sheds light on how Faith No More navigated the rapidly changing musical landscape of the 1990s, influenced the alternative rock and metal scenes, and how their legacy compares to other giants like Guns N' Roses, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Metallica.
Part memoir, part cultural history, this book also offers a personal reflection from the author on how Faith No More’s music helped shape his life, particularly during the difficult times of his youth, and the impact the band’s seminal album Angel Dust had on his personal ambitions.
Perfect for fans of the band and lovers of rock history alike, Faith No More, The Essential History provides a comprehensive, heartfelt exploration of Faith No More’s enduring influence on music and culture.
