RONIN Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Please post Patton gems. I'll start: Tell me about being approached by ‘The Project’? Mike Patton: “Sorry? The new band Slash and the other ex-Guns’N’Roses guys are putting together. Mike Patton: “Did you just call it ‘The Project’? That’s what they are calling it. Mike Patton: “HAHAHAHA. That’s hilarious. It sounds much better than I’m sure it is. Er, well, I wasn’t really approached. I just got a phonecall from an ex-manager asking if I would be interested. Well, I wasn’t and that was about it. Not very exciting. Why weren’t you interested? Mike Patton: “Why do you think? You know. I think everyone else knows too, except them. Which is the funny part. I hear they are now doing stuff with Scott Weiland. Mike Patton: “I thought he was dead. No, he’s alive. He’s just been arrested for cocaine possession again. Mike Patton: “OK. Well this band will kill him off and do the world a favour. “ http://newfaithnomore.com/2010/10/27/slash-and-mike-patton-rumours/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoulMonster Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Patton is obviously a douche but on the other hand one can't really blame him for mocking GN'R. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitha_whiskey Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Fuck Mike Patton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR DOOM Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 He's right though... A) any singer fronting a band with 3 guys from GNR is accepting a poison chalice B) they were all still fucked up on drugs- why would a workman like Patton want to wade into that shit? (besides for $$$, which is clearly not his prime concern) C) Scott Weiland was a fucking wanker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homefuck Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Everybody in that circle (melvins/bungle/fnm) are so cynical and they really look down (and talks shit about) on everybody that behaves like a "rock star". I think it's really entertaining and I understand all the shit that bands like GNR and RHCP gets. It's totally reasonable and fun critique IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RONIN Posted June 2, 2016 Author Share Posted June 2, 2016 "GNR and their management are like a small government. Axl's the president, and his manager's a personal advisor. A couple of the other more visible band members are vice-presidents. Then there's the little guys who come underneath, to make sure only the right information is leaked out. They're dependent on the band for their living, so they will police themselves. Support bands are like other countries with whom they maintain a diplomatic front. Like, keep your mouth shut, enjoy the ride and everything will be cool. Open your mouth, and jeopardize your own position. It's an interesting thing to experience first hand." Duff McKagan lopes through the Gunners' terrain backstage. He looks punch-drunk, swollen and decaying. "That's business, man," Patton will comment drily. "You have to hold your hat off to the guy who's done that to him." Duff is hoisted up the back of the stage to watch FNM by two sides of beef in uniform. One of Axl's minders has told Patton that Axl really likes Mr. Bungle. The minder says Axl wants to get into something heavier, more industrial. "Industrial," laughs Patton maniacally, banging the table. "That's sick!" They have sampled Axl's voice and used it a few times in their stage act, but no one seems to notice. GNR don't watch their shows. Patton thinks they may sometimes watch them over the monitors from their backstage area, but he's not sure. "I think watching us might get in the way of snorting coke from some strippers snatch," Pattons says laughing....In the restaurant, Patton shares a secret. Axl has TV screens on stage that display the song words in case he forgets them. On the last night of the tour, Mike Patton tells me he wants "to take a shit right on top of those TV screens, in front of tens of thousands of people." Mike "Puffy" Bordin confides to me he's worried FNM will get thrown off this tour because of the way the band is behaving. They're too unguarded about slagging GNR. When I tell Patton this, he wheezes with laughter. "See?" he says. "That's what he's frightened of, but that's what excites me the most." Mike's eyes shine. "Three weeks into the tour and we're already pushing it. We're going to spend the summer with these guys. To me there's nothing... no real reason why we're doing this tour. I mean, it makes real business sense, but on a personal level we have to provoke. To me, that's our duty." http://www.heretodaygonetohell.com/board/index.php?topic=26724.0;wap2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's crazy to think he was that person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent Jay Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Calling VR the project was hilarious. Patton's mind is more artistic than that, no junkie ethos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
