Mike Patton Mondo Cane Interview at Artist Direct
An excellent brand spanking new interview with Mike Patton on the Mondo Cane project has just been released over at Artist Direct. Some nice new pieces of info in it including:
The Mondo Cane album:
“Basically the Mondo Cane recordings were culled from our first three shows. They were all in Italy. Some very appreciated producers, editors and I chose different parts. Maybe for the record, we’d use one bar from the violins from concert one, and in the same piece of music, maybe we’d use the females in the choir from somewhere else. It was like a giant Rubiks Cube to find the best takes from three concerts out of all these different elements. Obviously, there was some studio trickery [Laughs]. It was fun.”
The Faith No More tour:
“To be honest, I never thought that I would ever revisit that stuff again. After some reflection and speaking with the guys, I realized, Well, wait a minute. I’m not embarrassed about it [Laughs]. It’s still good music! Is there a way that we can still pull it off and do it justice? So we rehearsed! When we rehearsed, I realized this is good and I feel great about it. After that, we decided to do some shows.”
