So tonight's drive time sounded like this....
Long time no hear, and was particularly enjoyable at "Powerplay", I had a good go on my air saxa-ma-phone through "I still believe" but seriously not one song on this album that I do not love.
Smoothly followed by The Doors best of album.
Belongs in a Hawwwt RIP thread -

I have listened to Appetite a LOT this week.
And i am now firmly of the view that the first 6 songs are up there with the first 6 songs of any record ever. Let alone a debut record. What an opening to a career. And i am completely unsurprised that they just exploded. Had anybody heard anything like it in 1987? It's not metal, it's not punk, what we know as alternative music didn't exist, it's just raw and dirty, but with an amazing groove to it.
And having listened to both Illusion records, they were not even close to recapturing that spirit. It's an over-long, over-produced bloated mess. And that's not surprising given the state of them by that point.
I missed this discussion last week. I never got into the Use Your Illusions after loving Appetite and GnR Lies.
My favourite from Appetite:
On FNM, I like Epic even if it's not one of the best on the album.
I used to have a video with Bill and Teds on it and then when that finished it had Faith No More's Brixton Academy concert - so I watched it a lot.

Faith no More killed it in that Brixton concert......"We care a lot" being a higlight for me.

We know that you love it when they break into New Kids on the Block in the middle of We Care A lot.
But yeah, that concert was awesome.

@MN5 the Epic thing drives me nuts. It's not even close to the best track on the album it's off. And yet there it is, FNM's only song apparently.
On that album alone I'd go:
War Pigs
Falling to Pieces
The Real Thing"Woodpecker from Mars" is a great instrumental and you can't go past "From out of Nowhere"
I'm amazed "The Real Thing" isn't much better known. It is one of my favourite ever rock songs.
Still one of my favourite albums, the real thing and woodpeckers from mars are my standouts too.

When I saw them in about 1993 they came out all together and did aerobics on stage for long enough for everyone in the crowd to look at each other and think wtf? The concert before that Patton wore an old school MacDonalds uniform for the whole gig. One like this

Justify Your Shitty Taste: Faith No More's "Introduce Yourself" - Decibel Magazine
The tribal beats, the crunching metal guitar and the half rap/half sung vocals of Chuck Mosley coalesced into something altogether original. You can unfortunately perhaps heap some blame for nu metal on these dudes, but what they created at the time was in fact revolutionary. It was like Killing...
It does amuse me to no end that Jim Martin quit rock stardom to grow massive pumpkins......
The article is correct about "Annes song" though, one of my favourite tracks of theirs.

Monster fuzz tone. T-R-O-U-B-L-E.

Still. Kicks. Ass.

Absolutely obsessed with Sam Smith at the moment... Anything and everything so good but I can distinctly remember Not liking him/his music before so I'm not sure what's happened...
