We wonder if there was a rum ham backstage too.

Mike Patton is a man of many voices. He is perhaps as well-known for his wails in Faith No More -- who will be playing Coachella on April 17 and the New York's Williamsburg Waterfront on July 5 -- as he is for projects like Mr. Bungle and Tomahawk, which are so delightfully far in left field th…

I usually go to four or five shows a week. It's how I discover many of my favorite bands and meet lifelong friends. Sometimes I see bands that are less than stimulating. Sometimes I see bands that are great. But, it's not so often that I see a band that makes me want to start a fan club fo…

The stories about Faith No More frontman Mike Patton's onstage and offstage antics are the thing of legend. Of course, there was the L7 tampon incident, the urine he drank from a woman's pump and those tales of feces-covered paper towels being stuffed into hotel blow dryers...

Trevor Dunn has always been a bass player to count on. He always does his job, and he changes the game when it fits. This goes for the actual bands he's been, in like Mr. Bungle, and when he's a hired bassist like on the recent Melvins' anniversary tour...

"By the time I was in the sixth grade I wanted to be in a band that was huger than Kiss," Trevor Dunn told Noisecreep of how a life in music began. But Dunn has never played in a band bigger than Kiss, and truthfully no one outside of Kiss has ever achieved such a thing...
