I went to the Faith no More concert in Brooklyn last night. That was the first concert where I've actually loved the band prior to watching them live, also my first FNM concert ever. Its nice to share that experience with Lisa, since she's been wanting to see them live for 16 years, and 12 years since she last had a chance and missed out on it.
The performance was better than I even imagined it would be. The stage was facing the NYC skyline and Mike Patton repeatedly said "Why the fuck are you people staring at our ugly asses, turn around and look behind you, you guys live here!" Its great to know the words and sing along to songs you've loved for years. Mike has a great stage presence with a voice that blows my mind. He is multi-talented, his face so full of character and lively expressions was he acts every lyric out of the voices in the songs. He could be an actor if he so chose. Every band member was phenomenal, though they finished a bit early, I was hoping for a few ore songs out of Angel Dust, but the ones they played were perfectly good choices.
They're pretty significant since I was really getting into their music in 08 during the course of my early spiritual enlightenment. I can't hear Epic, without thinking of the Art major, beyond the path of the Tower. To hear it live, I had to rock the fuck out to it!
I hope they come around here again.
