- More on Mike Patton being a fan of the San Jose Sharks [that's hockey - hockey on ice even - apparently] from a Sharks site. Seemingly, he was once slated to sing the national anthem before a game. That’s something I’d like to see and hear. Sharks defenseman [that's defender to those of us who speak non-American sports English] Dan Boyle is a big FNM fan. Boyle told the official Sharks site: “They’re basically my favorite band. They’ve been broken up for 14 years and just got back together for a summer tour and were playing a gig in San Francisco a couple days before the Colorado series. To make a long story short, Tom Holy (Sharks media relations manager) got a hold of their manager and they pretty much set me up backstage. I met everybody and since have become good friends with a couple of guys. I got them down to a couple (play-off) games. They came and saw one Colorado game and I think they saw one Chicago game. The lead singer was supposed to sing the national anthem at one of the Chicago games, but something came up at the last minute with him. But he told me he’s gonna do one next year.”
[Hope you can pay us a visit here Dan to check out the latest FNM news and good luck in your next game - hope you hit a few slam dunk strikes.] - Faith No More perform Easy on Australian TV in May 1993.

Hey Firsa, firstly thanks for the Big Chill link…I am very envious of these people who have gotten to meet the man, but I’d probably wee myself if I ever got the opportunity. Secondly, the album dedication…I am familiar with the Jackson song, and its a great sultry piece, but I highly doubt Mondo Cane is dedicated to this. I get the impression that although Patton is separated from his Italian wife, she is still really important to him. To me it makes sense that this album is dedicated to her as had it not been for her it is unlikely that he would have spent the time he did in Italy, having to learn the lingo and falling in love with these Italian songs. I cant help feeling she has been a really important influence in Patton’s life, but I am probably overly romanticising.
Gracias
I loved reading the twitter account – the one I posted in the other thread – of that person’s entire experience of the festival, too. It really brought me there. It’s cool because he was truly an objective observer of the Mondo Cane show (he needed an “excuse” to go see it) and was truly blown away by it. A testament to how great the performance must have been! Hopefully I will get a feasible chance to see one someday.
As far as the dedication… well I was a bit embarassed by my post; I was thinking outside the box a little. It certainly made sense to me as I think “Lady in My Life” is a phenomenal song that I loved since before I had a use for love songs
I won’t tear my hair out wondering about it; whatever the source, it is still a great work of art and that’s what counts.
Cheers for all the messages down here. I’m looking into the forum idea – any plugin ideas gratefully received – but won’t have time to do anything until a) things quiten down at work in mid-September and b) after my wedding (and subsequent honeymoon) in four weeks (;
Wow! Early congratulations, admin! Nice to know the forum is being considered, though.
Forum would be awesome! Looking forward to that possibility.
Early congrats as well, admin.
