anthony kiedis ile aralarında ezelden beridir bir uyuz olma (çift taraflı) ve çekememe durumu (tek taraflı) var. öyle ki anthony'nin 90'ların sonları ve 2000'lerin başlarında mike'ın katılacağı festivalleri boykot etmişliği, "lineup'da patton varsa rhcp sahneye çıkmayacak" diye zırlayıp mr bungle konserlerini iptal ettirmişliği bile var.

kimin daha yetenekli olduğunu anlamak için ise müzik otoritesi olmaya gerek yok sanırım.

fan sitelerinde anlatıldığı şekliyle,

"based on various interviews with the people involved, it seems to boil down to this: in 1989 faith no more released an album called "the real thing," and several singles from that album for which videos were made. the video for "epic" became very popular, and patton was suddenly seen in silly clothing, swinging his long hair around, rapping to faith no more's funk-metal sound, all over the world. anthony kiedis seems to have been oblivious to the fact that this sort of combination of funk, metal, and rap (always accompanied by bad clothing and hair) had been the trend on the west coast for some time, and wasn't actually invented by his band. envious of faith no more's success, and angry that it seemed to have been achieved at least in part due to the wild frontman who he thought had stolen his "moves," he accused patton of ripping him off in the press. members of mr. bungle responded by gleefully threatening kiedis with bodily harm in the press. eventually patton and kiedis met in person, were polite to one another, and everyone lost interest.

many years later, after faith no more was long gone and the red hot chili peppers were hugely successful, the release of mr. bungle's "california" was pushed back by warner bros. so it wouldn't come out at the same time as the red hot chili pepper's similarly-named "californication." then, when mr. bungle were asked to play at some european festivals in the summer of 1999, kiedis threatened to cancel his band's appearance, and bungle were dropped. that halloween, mr. bungle retaliated by playing a show in pontiac, michigan dressed as the red hot chili peppers, complete with freqent heroin injections and covers of really bad songs. this resulted in kiedis having them kicked off of some australian festivals. "

"ok, here's what happened, 'cause i know he has his opinion, now here's mine. in that interview the writer said, 'are you guys sick of people ripping you off?' i said, 'who are you referring to?' and he said, 'well, mike patton in faith no more.' so i told him what our drummer said, and yeah i watch that 'epic' video, and i see him jumping up and down, rapping, and it looked like i was looking in the mirror. the thing is, i had no problem with him personally. i mean, i love 'the real thing,' and i liked his vocals on that record. i mean, when i heard the record i noticed subtle similarities, but when i saw that video it was like, 'wait a second here, what the fuck?'" -- anthony kiedis

"i mean, the chili peppers is something i hadn't really thought of in years. and i'll go ahead and tell you this. why not? i haven't told anybody else yet. we were looking at booking some mr. bungle shows in europe this past summer, some big festivals, which is something we'd never done before. we figured it'd be a good thing: we'd get to play in front of a lot of people who wouldn't otherwise hear us. our agent was in the process of booking these festivals, and it was becoming apparent that we'd landed some pretty good ones—one in france, another one in holland, some big-name festivals. turns out someone's holding a grudge! we were booted off several bills, including a really big festival in australia, specifically because anthony kiedis did not want us on the bill. he threatened to pull the chili peppers if mr. bungle was on the bill. now, rationalize that one! that's so fucking pathetic! i mean, this guy's selling a million records! we are not even a speck of dust on this guy's ass! what's the fucking problem? it's unbelievable." -- mike patton

"i would not have given two fucks if they played with us there, but after i heard about some halloween show where they mocked us and read another interview where patton talked shit about us, and i was like, you know what, fuck him and fuck the whole band." -- anthony kiedis

"we were booked, months in advance, to do eleven festival dates in europe. come summer, we get a call from the three biggest of those festivals, all of them the same day, saying that we can't play, because the headlining band retains the right to hire and fire whomever they wish. we found out it was the red hot chili peppers, so our manager called their manager to find out what the hell was going on, and their manager was very apologetic, and said, 'we're really sorry, we want you to know this doesn't reflect the management's position, or the band's for that matter, it's anthony kiedis who wants this.'" -- trey spruance

dun aksam moskova'daydi, kmc ile izledik, costuk. sahnesi guzelmis, guzel okudu ahaha. basitce icraatleri soyleydi;

- konseri 100 metreden bir balkon locasindan izleyen vip seyircisine sahne onundeki seyircileri gosterip "orda oturuyorsunuz diye kendinizi burdakilerden daha mi ustun goruyorsunuz gerzekler" dedi.
- mr trololo taklidi yapti ama kafasi bi dunya ruslarin anladigini sanmiyorum. tepki vermediler pek.
- ayi gibi azitmis bir guruh olmasina ragmen seyirciyi begenmedim triplerine girdi. ( trololo'ya kayitsiz kalinmasina uyuz oldu sanki )
- sahne tasarimi cay bahcesinden halliceydi, beyaz perdeler cicekler saksilar falan neyse, son sarkidan once onundeki cicekleri yedi. evet harbiden yedi ahahaha.
- bisten sonra 2 sarki daha soyleyip bitirdiler. konser bitti diye herkes ayrildi zira isiklari yaktilar, teknisyenler ortaligi toplamaya basladi. rus punk grubu pussy riot'u desteklemek icin sahneye atlayan kadin aktivistlere kayitsiz kalmayip sahneye donmus ve we care a lot soylemis. bu kisim -mis -mus oldu zira bunu goremedik iste.

italyanca'yı ana dili gibi konuşur, eski italyanca pop şarkılarını sever, italyan korku sinemasını takip eder. hatta zamanında italyan bir hatun ile evlenmiştir. ben italyan başkanı olsam bu adama fahri italyanlık verirdim, üstüne şeref duyardım.

çok önemli bir müzik adamı, kova burcunun hakkını veren deli. büyüyünce olmak istediğim herif.

insanlık yararına yaptığı icat yanlış kişilerin eline geçmiş, müzik dünyasının kubrick'i.

bu konu ve mike patton hakkında buzz osbourne ile yapılmış bir ropörtajdan alıntı:

- i was talking to mike and he’s really uncomfortable talking about his music and his legacy and his importance to music today, how important do you think mike has been on aggressive music today?
bo: aggressive music?"

- well, take nu metal, for example, everyone sites faith no more has a huge influence.
bo: let’s look at it this way then, mike patton is responsible for almost all the music that i hate today.

- do you believe that?
bo: absolutely.

- have you told him that?
bo: sure.

-does he regret it?
bo: oh yeah, absolutely, he hates it, he doesn’t like any of those bands, no way. mike is like a far worse version of what happened to me, oh yeah. i was responsible for things like soundgarden and nirvana, he’s responsible for things like limp bizkit, korn, incubus; it’s ten times worse. i can at least find a couple of songs from soundgarden or nirvana that i can listen to. my god, how would you feel if fred durst was sighting you as influence?

"bugün nu metal diye bir müzik türü varsa, bunun en büyük sorumlularindan biri de faith no more'dur, bu yüzden herkesten özür dilerim" diye ilginç bir açiklama yapan müzik dehasi, rock'n'roll'un yaramaz çocugu.

orospu gırtlak. yumuşacık balladlardan pop parçalarına, hardcore'dan çığlık çığlığa heavy metal vokallerine her şeyi yapabilen insanlara böyle denmeli. söylediği her parçaya, müziği beğenmeseniz bile dinlenebilirlik katma becerisine sahip sihirbaz. kanımca yaşayan en iyi 5 vokalist listesine rahatça girer. özetle:
