Mike Patton Talks Faith No More Reunion Tour, Lady Gaga Cover

04/30/2010
.
MetalSucks' Gary Suarez recently spoke with Faith No More frontman Mike Patton, whose collection of Italian language cover songs (recorded with a 40-piece orchestra) "Monda Cane" comes out on Tuesday, May 4th. Patton spoke about "Mondo Cane," Fantomas, Tomahawk, the events that led to the Faith No More reunion and whether or not he ever plans to release new Faith No More music. An excerpt follows

How have these reunion shows been for you? Have they been enjoyable for you? Yeah. Of course. I'm not in the business of suffering. I'm not gonna put myself out there and torture myself. I'm just not gonna do it. It feels good. It feels comfortable. In a way, we're sort of… we're revisiting the past but we're also healing some old wounds. We didn't break up under the best of circumstances and this is sort of a chance to get that right. Anyone in their life, if they have a chance to sorta go back to a certain snapshot in their life, and maybe do something different… I think that's what we're doing right now.

With these live shows, whose idea was it to include Peaches & Herb and Lady GaGa covers into the set? [laughs] I don't wanna take complete credit, but… Look, it's something that happens. It's not something where we sat down and said, "Hey, let's do a Lady GaGa cover over one of our tunes." It just kinda happens. A lot of that is my responsibility. We played a certain set of music for a long period of time, and it's only natural to get a little complacent. So, to me, what's fun is injecting other people's tunes over the top of our tunes. I guess it's a live mash-up, if you will. - Read the full interview
