Lots. Off hand I can think of:
Mike Patton solo stuff
Faith No More
Mr Bungle
Fantomas
Tomahawk
Dillinger Escape Plan (played live with them for a couple of shows and recorded an ep while they were between singers)
Maldoror (collaboration with Merzbow)
Melvins (played live with them and appeared on some of their studio work, also performed a special concert of the Fantomas/Melvins Big Band)
Bjork (on the new album)

. They seemed to just lose it after Jim Martin was fired. I recall him complaining that they wanted him to copy the basslines while recording Angel Dust, rather than do what he did, which is part of what made the band so damn good.

I picked up a vid of the band being interviewed (pre editing, I have it on the computer if anyone is interested) separately during the making of AD. It is pretty clear that Jim Martin at the stage was on the way out. The album was written with him absent for the most part. In fact my fav track (Caffine) is a Patton only affair. I think FNM was definately a group affair wiht the lesser characters (Bill Gould and Roddy Bottum) playing a under credited role.

Having said that you can hear JMs contribution pretty clearly on the albums. Those thrashy guitar lines are Big Sick through and through

FNM are great.They are one of my favourite bands ever.
I only got king for a day....for christmas.
And i love it. Especially The gentle art of making enemies.
Serj Tankian just robbed Mike pattons style.

Is it true Patton s**t in the guitarist beer once?

there are quite a few ****-related stories regarding mr.patton. one of them involves his own excretion, and the eating thereof.

Never heard of Lovage. Must investigate. I also just remembered there was talk some time ago of Patton starting a band called Peeping Tom. Haven't heard anything about it though in a long time.

Scratch Acid

I woudn't bother with Lovage if I was you...It's pretty much a Dan the Automator album with a guest appearance from Patton and a few others :rolleyes:

resurrected this thread instead of wasting space with a new one

got the new cd from mr. patton. "general patton vs. the x-ecutioners". very good indeed, except there's a lot more x-ececutioners then general patton, so be wary if you hate hip-hop style dj stuff...

Töpher

Doesn't Wayne Static play guitar for the x-ecutioners? With some Linkin Park sap, or am I imagining things?

projectmayhem

no linkin park and wayne static did a song with the x-ecutioners, just one song. the x-ecutioners are a trip-hop trio. they're pioneers in the whole dj scratchy thingy-ma-boper, apparently...

Töpher

Thats alright then...

John

I heard the cd is very good. I'll be getting it at some stage.

Nea

Cd sounds good. Mike Patton has a magic touch.FNM were a class band and were great live too. I was disgusted when they cancelled the King for A Day tour ,that was their best album but personally Mr Bungle's California is one of most amazin collection of tunes ever!!!

Stalfos

FNM brilliant band, could listen to them forever
