As soon as [The Raging Wrath From The Easter Bunny] demo was done, we were on to the next thing, which was a Specials/ska kind of thing. Fishbone had come through Eureka, one of the few bands that ever did, and really inspired us, really fired us up and gave us a confidence that we could play other forms of music and make it really intense and compelling.
Sid Wilson on whom he would like to interview: I reckon Mike Patton would be an extremely interesting person to interview. He's probably got a lot of great stories to tell. He's definitely a hero of mine. Fingers crossed!
... [Analyzing Patton's shrieks:] they're embedded between strong-man growls and baby squeals–for him, too, the ultimate freedom is not female but infantile. So far he hasn't published manifestos like Stratos or Bargeld, though he clearly shares their ideology.

[I Against I] nous envoie dans les cages à miel ce qu'on peut considérer comme l'ouvrage sur lequel la scène Fusion Metal/Funk/HipHop à venir va se baser. Écoutez le fabuleux «Reignition» pour vous faire une idée: HR y croone d'une façon qu'un certain Mike Patton (Faith No More, Mr Bungle) va largement imiter, ...
It was the late 80's and funk metal had reached its apex in popular music. There were two undisputed titan's in the field, The Red Hot Chili Peppers led by Anthony Kiedis and Faith No More fronted by Mike Patton

Q: Your voice is very unique in that you can go from very melodic to very heavy from one phrase to the next. Who are some of your influences and where did you learn to sing so melodically?
Howard Jones: I think, obviously, Mike Patton from Faith No More is a big one. [...]
I'm a big fan of almost everything Mike Patton does. My favourite is Mr. Bungle. He's probably the reason why I even thought about singing.
Patton clearly doesn't believe in reincarnation, given his relentless pursuit to create in this life. Having accomplished rock icon status, he could have chosen to milk it for all it was worth and become some alternative Jon Bon Jovi. But all they share in common is an early penchant for disastrous hair as tenderfoot rock fledgelings and the fact that Patton will undoubtedly sleep when he's dead.
Growing up, I was always a huge fan of his. If there's anybody that I tried to mimic when I was a kid, it was him [Mike Patton]. I probably wouldn't have even started singing if it wasn't for him. He and H.R. from Bad Brains were my two big influences when I first started it when I was really young. Not only is it an awesome honor and everything to have to come after him, but it's also not as difficult as you would think just because I was already so influenced by him to begin with.
{{cite web}}: CS1 maint: deprecated archival service (link)... But to me, [Adult Themes for Voice] was a learning experience. I was literally exercising my voice for the whole world to hear. And here I was learning, on the job, how to use certain techniques that I thought I could get better at.
... Not all music has to be brilliant in every way. There are a few [brilliant] bands though, like Faith No More with Mike Patton who did Angel Dust, which is one of my favorite albums. It's the album I learned how to sing with. I would skip school and put that on full blast from the stereos at my parents' place and sing to it. When an album like that comes out and you buy it from a record store, put it on and you're blown away – that really gives me the energy to go on because I consider myself [first and foremost] a fan. ...
Dan Estrin (Hoobastank guitarist): We have a lot of people that bash us because they think we sound just like Incubus, a lot of people don't understand that we're all the same age, we grew up in the same neighborhood and we're influenced by the same bands. Both our singers were heavily influenced by Mike Patton from Faith No More or Mr. Bungle.

Q: Was Mike Patton a big influence on you?
Daryl Palumbo: Growing up he was one of my heroes... absolutely. I want to say no because I hear he's a bitter old man and that he laughs at bands that cite him as an influence. Everybody on M-fucking-TV and all heavy bands everywhere site [sic] Patton as an influence and he talks shit about them? I still think he is the greatest singer in heavy music history but I feel way above any other band that cites him as an influence. Fuck it if he has a problem with it.
Mike Patton is one of my favorite singers. Faith No More, one of my favorite bands of all time. Very inspiring to me. I fell in love with that band at a very young age, and I saw them a few times growing up. I was bummed out when they parted ways [in 1998], but they're doing shows again, which is awesome. But as far as influence, the way that I sing, I definitely was inspired by Mike Patton [...]
{{cite web}}: CS1 maint: deprecated archival service (link)Trey Spruance: I was in a death-metal group, and we had this idea that we were going to play a bunch of ska tunes for a bunch of metalheads. We just had this idea, you know: 'Okay, we're going to play this ska music, and that'll be amazing.' Half of the audience hated us, but there was definitely a joy in confronting that wall between styles.

[...] I'd say that the band that probably influenced me more than any was probably Faith no more. Just because I listened to it so much, when they were active. [...] I would say "The last to know" by Faith no more! I sing that song in the shower all the time. And I actually wrote the chorus to the song "Breathe life" on our album, I wrote that in the shower. (laughs)
Corey Taylor: I know he will shrug this off, but my biggest influence to this day is still Mike Patton [of Faith No More]. He is my hero: the best singer in the game, and most creative man on the planet. Absolutely fearless in his approach to art and music, he isn't afraid to say exactly what he thinks. Plus he's cool as shit.

Dimitri Minakakis: [...] Mike Patton is a big influence on me. When I was 12 or 13, that's when they came around. [...]

Shawn Crahan: We like Mike Patton a lot because he is just a music genius, he is able to reach out and do a bunch of other things without worrying about the industry. He'll put out a Bungle album that will be crazy and then the next Bungle album will be like a bunch of love songs, and he does it 'cos he needs to and he'll put out an album about pasta recipes – ... Slipknot likes people who stay true to their hearts-Picasso and van Gogh and Cézanne never made any money when they were doing Impressionism. Cézanne was [not] selling still lifes for food or money, he painted because he had to paint and because he loved to paint.
