I never realized this song had a video

I bought this album in Germany when it came out in 1992 and it has always been one of my favorites. You'd think it would have occurred to me in the last 17 years to search YouTube for "Faith No More" to see what all I can find, but I didn't until just now.



I wonder how low the budget for a video has to be to come up with something like this.

Hopefully that had a huge budget and just spent it on equally large piles of cocaine and Crisco, and when they came to a week later they were like, "Fuck, get the keytar, we have to make a god damn video by tomorrow."

They probably knew that MTV would play it approximately twice, and realized that their $200,000 video budget would be better spent on other things.

Also, Mike Patton is still kinda hot.

The only FNM song I'm familiar with is Epic. Unsurprisingly, I'm sure.

Now that I hear it, I like this one too.

They have lots of good songs. You should check out their albums.

They were around long enough to have more than one singer!

"crack hitler" is the best one on "angel dust." and i never tire of hearing their "woodpecker from mars."

I think my favorite off Angel Dust is "A Small Victory". Even just thinking about it right now is almost giving me goosebumps.
