It’s not just Patton - they all sound fantastic

[BusyAir]

That bass tone is to die for. A big part of their sound. Not a single note overplayed or out of place.

[jockojockoson]

This is evidence that they will go down as one of the best bands in history.

[brianginn]

Mike Patton, the man who has a vocal style for every mood and genre. This guy is what a Swiss Army Knife wishes it could be, the perfect tool in one package for every occasion.

[faso]

autotune uses Patton for voice adjustment

[davidnissim]

Mike Bordin is still a monster behind the kit. Legends never age.

[holy_braille]

That's one of the best drummers on the planet right there. I rarely hear anybody talk about him, except other drummers.

[TrebleForTheBass]

Even in his 50s Mike Patton blows my mind. To this day nobody can sing like this guy and has nowhere close to the same range

[jasonodea]

Between every song, they are like "hopefully we can get this one right, " and then proceed to fucking nail it. What a tight band.

[nothx]

Mike Bordin is such a sick drummer. Everyone in this band has aged like fucking wine both musically and as people. I am in awe....

[Davantaur]

I've always loved this bands belief that bass guitar is an instrument and needs to be heard.

[davidnissim]

Billy Gould’s bass sounds are something else entirely.

[Mr.VinylDestination]

That moment you have shit to do but realize it's Faith No More live in studio and can't stop watching...20 mins of life well spent.

[tvacchino]

Billy Gould is a monster Bass player and goes largely unnoticed for some reason?

[pearljamdoothers]

This band is all about courage. Courage to break the mold. Courage to believe in their genius. Courage to call it quits. Courage to come together again. Thank you FNM!!!

[christophermartin]

I don't think I've ever been so impressed by a filmed live performance

[Lowgarr]

The greatest vocalist of all time, and one of the greatest bands of all time.

[davidnissim]

Faith No More is one of a handful of bands comprised entirely of virtuoso musicians. All five of them are absolutely mind-blowing at what they do.

[Theophanes]

The rhythm section of Billy Gould and Mike Bordin is phenomenal, absolutely the driving force of this band. If FNM ends up recording another album, they should seriously consider recording it live at BBC, these versions of the songs sound amazing, much better than the album IMO.
