DOWNLOAD: Mike Patton’s demo tape for FNM

So there seriously hasn’t been a god damn postworthy story in like 5 days. I was gonna post the new Human Abstract video but I’ve recently decided that I’m not a huge fan. I get it, you guys are really good at soloing and sweeping.

Anyway, that is neither here nor there. Stubbadub has another fucking sweet free download that you should go get now. It’s the demo that Mike Patton recorded for his FNM tryout.

“Recorded on 4-Track in Bill Gould’s attic as a demonstration of Mike Patton for Faith No More’s management and their record company (Slash). Two copies of this tape exist, dubbed directly from the 4-Track by Bill onto tapes with pre-existing music on them.

This copy was sold on eBay in September 2006 after being found in a Hollywood, CA thrift shop in a box of other music industry demo tapes along with a copy of Mr Bungle’s 4th demo “OU818″ and 4 photos of Mike Patton taken in a Photo Vending Machine.

These are rough versions of the songs, most likely played live into the 4-Track. The music and lyrics are early versions and contain many differences from the final recordings.
The exact timing of the recording is unknown but FNM’s first gig with Patton was in Nov 1988 and so this recording was probably made before that.”

Pretty fucking rad right? Go HERE to pick it up.
