Mike Patton mocks Wolfmother

Is he honestly bagging out a band for ripping off music from the 70s while discussing his own ripping off of italian 60s folk music?

Wolfmother are boring, but nowhere near as boring as "i'm just so f**king talented, lets see how many music genres and names I can drop in 60 seconds" type wankers

It's a bit different when their whole career is based around it.

Patton's project is a cover album, he's not ripping off the sound and it's just one of many projects of his.

Also, he isn't a name dropper, he couldn't give a sh*t what anybody thinks. What is he supposed to say when the interviewer asks what he is working on? He actually does work on that many different things at the same time.

Here's a follow up video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7XT26VjTfug

Wolfmother indeed are awful, I like whenever people rightly call out sh*t music and get heaps of attention for it. Now all I need is someone high up to dump all over Mumford and Sons and I'll be set.

Patton and Wolfmother each suck, IMO.
Hmm, im assuming you've never seen him live?

Because ive never talked to anyone who has said that he was anything other than absolutely awesome and perhaps the best live performer they've ever seen.

I haven't, and you couldn't pay me enough to see him. I don't rate him.

FNM are just about the most overrated band going around imo.

Sure Wolfmother have strong Sabbath/Zeppelin influences, but there isn't a single band in history that hasn't been influenced by another band's music.

Wolfmother aren't among my favourite bands, but I'd listen to them 1,000 times over any of Mike Patton's work.

I have.

A number of times.

And he was good, but nowhere near the best liver peformer I've seen.

He should have been shot for covering easy, tbh.

Yeah, pretty much what I'd say.
I cannot get what is so good about FNM.

What have you seen?

He literally has dozens of projects that are nothing alike.

Faith No More
Mr. Bungle
Tomahawk
Peeping Tom
His Dillinger Escape Plan stuff

I like the odd Dillinger song here and there. Faith No More I always hated. Bungle, Tomahawk and Tom were all...Eh.

I'm sure he has tonnes of other stuff out there but to me, as I said in my original post, he's nothing special.
