My First Time Listening to King For A Day... Fool For A Lifetime by Faith No More | My Reaction 

This album is another masterpiece!!!

As a Brazilian I should inform that Caralho Voador means "flying d1ck". The percussion you noticed in that song, along with theguitar and keys remind of bossa nova, which is a Brazilian genre, it's like a softened samba. In the portuguese part he says "I can't drive and now my finger appears stuck in my nose". Some people state thathe got hisn song title from João Gordo, singer from Ratos de Porão (basement Rats, in a free translation), a punk band from São Paulo, when they hung out, though I couldn't find sources to confirm this information. I love this album, and it seems the evolution of the two previous albums. Star AD and Just a Man are my favourite tracks, although I learned how to sing most of them, cause it teaches me a lot to sing great and difficult songs.

FNM are such a clever band. They're all fantastic musicians and songwriters. Many bands have tried to copy them but none of them have come close to matching their sound. Supremely unique.

I don't know why this album is so often overlooked in their catalog. It's got a lot of gems in it. My favorite is the Gentle Art of Making Enemies.

“Evidence” is a vocal MASTERPIECE

Seeing Patton tear up while singing king for a day at pinkpop was a great moment in music history.

‘The Real Thing’ was the first album with Mike Patton on vocals. It’s probably a good one to listen to next. Again, expect the unexpected.

I bought this album when it came out and still listen to it regularly. It’s on my list of “Will Never Get Sick Of” albums.

Not sure if anyone mentioned, but this is the first album without Jim Martin on guitar. This is also the only album featuring Trey Spruance of Mr. Bungle on guitar. Trey is a bit more capable in other genre's than Jim, who is mainly a thrash metal loving guitar player. Trey does funk, jazz, experimental, country, surf, thrash, death, punk, classical.... He's a genius on Patton's level.

Album of The Year is an underrated masterpiece. Just move forward from here. After AOTY check out the first Tomahawk album for a real left turn.

On Caralho Voador, that is Portugese. He's fluent in several languages; look up the translation of that line btw! You'll laugh. I like this record, though my two favs are still Angel Dust and Album of the Year. Standouts for me are Ricochet, Star A.D., Digging The Grave, title track, and The Last to Know. The piano line in "Evidence" is so, so elegant too. For the next record - brace for impact on the opening song so you don't get startled- it just starts with no warning. Awesome to see you covering FNM's discography!

angel dust is considered to be one of the most important albums of all time due to its impact and influence to modern music, but king for a day is their best album in my opinion.

One of the best albums of all time.

King For A Day was the single greatest song I’ve ever heard live. Olympic Park in Melbourne 1995 at the Alternative Nation music festival. 35degC, humid wet day & at night the rain had stopped at Faith No More put on one hell of a show. Steam coming off the crowd.

Such an amazing album. That’s one thing I think people are missing these days. Playing an album start to finish. FNM were the kings of making an album cohesive, like a journey. You are awesome btw. Intriguing and fun, quirky and cute.

the expression on your face when you said, what even was that? towards the end of Ugly In The Morning, where Mike sounds like he's swallowing his tongue, had me rolling...Evidence, Ugly, and Just A Man are standouts for me, they're an awesome band and Mike can pretty much do it all, crooning to screaming his lungs out

Also, would be interested to hear your thoughts on Mr. Bungle’s ‘Disco Volante’. It’s quite a ride…

There's a live concert version on RU-vid of Just A Man where Mike Patton starts climbing the overhead camera and the crew has to just go with it 😂. It's pretty chaotic.

Excellent choice

I love this album. For a metal band, this is my favorite of theirs

Gentle Art is SOOO UNDERRATED by the general public. The lyrics, music...ALL OF IT.

Rcommended for next FNM chapter is ‘The Real Thing’. I really enjoy seeing your reaction from opening this pandora’s box of a band. They’re absolutely sensational. Warning: first two albums is with a different singer, Chuck Mosely. Tueneless but with tons of attitude. I love his style, but it’s an aquired taste. Enjoy the ride, cuz it’s a deeply thrilling one 😊

i want you to react “Album of the year” next. i feel the three albums are like trilogy.

Minha banda número 1. Amo tudo do Faith No More Rock n Roll 🎸🇧🇷

This album is perfect!!! The song "King for a day" is my favorite. Mike sings many octaves on this song. Truly amazing.

just discovered your channel, i'm loving it! it's great to see a young person going through such a rich, and diverse back log of artists. I hope you cover the first Mike Patton FNM album next

Faith No More never disappoints

I wish I could hear this album for the first time again. This was in my daily rotation for a very long time!

in the early 90s my wifes car had a tape deck that broke with this cassette in the tape drive - now it was an auto reverse deck so it played over and over till that car died . listened to this lp a LOT . its a great great great lp . its not really a one trick pony but it has a strong cohisive feel . if you are a patton fan - all his work is great except his hip hop . fantomas and bungle tomahawk and dead cross- incredible music . keep goin with the patton stuff , its worth it . dont miss out on the side stuff like zorn ,buckethead , melt banana, sc3 , locust , melvins , etc .

As a long time fan, I think the differentials between this album and Angeldust can be contributed to three big factors: They seperated from Jim Martin and brought Trey Spruance in for the guitars on this (which didn't end well, from what I understand; There were payment / royalties issues - Patton has said "Don't bring your friends from your old band into your new band" before), another major factor was that Roddy's father was dying and he was absent from a lot of the song writing - this was a big Billy Gould album, and lastly this is a good representation of Mike expanding his vocals away from the nasal sound he was known for previously (Mr Bungle, and the other FNM albums he made with them - he started the variations and exploration on Angeldust for sure, but this was a big change for him, imho). This is my favorite FNM album, if I had to choose. :)

I am a big Mike Patton fan, bought this album the day it was released, it is great to see people listening to them for the first time :) lots of cool Patton stuff to get in to out there!

Mr. Bungle California Screaming with Mike Patton is a goldmine.

Beautiful album. Angel Dust was a Masterpiece and King for a Day is just as good. As you know of listening to Michael Patton's music, you can't categorize them at all. The minute you think you can pigeon hole them, they completely surprise you. Angel Dust was diverse of an album from a well known radio/played band that you could ever want. Patton himself is a poet and a lot of his lyrics can be taken in multiple ways as I've come to realize they can have multiple meanings or sometimes just be about exactly what he speaks of, it makes Patton a great lyricist. Glad you liked the album, for those who are expecting a straight forward rock album from Faith No More, after their first 2 albums, that's just not going to happen. It's also what made Faith No More What they are b/c of their diversity(and no I don't mean an Old Wooden Ship..."Ron"),talent, and creativity. If you want more of a rocking Faith No More, their first 2 albums "Introduce Yourself" and "The Real Thing" are those and they are just as good, also Chuck Mosley was the lead singer for Faith No More before Mike, so "Introduce Yourself" has a different vibe to it, but it's still a great album as well, especially for the time it came out during the evil "Butt-Rock" era of 80's hair band crap music.

This is so much fun! They sound way different than their radio hits. Very interesting. Especially checking out Patton's other bands. Enjoying this. Great dive!

Amazing! Love these videos! I told the drummer a few years back that this was my favorite album and he was a little taken aback!

Awesome! They've been on my radar for awhile now but I've never dove in.. your vid changed that, thanks! Right up my alley

I love this album so much... Its timeless.. Thanks Molly

Really enjoy your reactions & facial expressions...also really liked the Smooth Jazz vibe of Evidence

Loved your reaction! This is my all time fave album!

My favorite Faith No More album! One of the most influential albums on the Nu Metal genre, from Slipknot to System Of A Down to Incubus.

Love your thoughts on this amazing album! You really, really seem to get the heart of the individual songs! It's such an eclectic album, and you just rolled with it!

Thanks for bringing these good memories, Molly!

Your reactions, like Faith No More, never disappoint. Brilliant stuff.

I loved your reaction to the tracks on King For A Day...Fool For A Lifetime. Your analysis of the music is fun and accurate. Loved your reaction to the Angel Dust album also. Billy Gould's bass tone on this album is SO good - full of harmonics, nice and 'burpy' sounding, and well recorded.

this is the first time i see your channel! You are so beautiful and I love seeing people discovering new music and sharing that moment. Greetings from Chile!. (Probably one of the countries where Faith No More is most popular).

. Listening to my favorite tunes with you on this page is awesome for me. The face you make when an amazing vocal or riff is the coolest smile eva. Keep it up. I'm SUPER curious to see your crosses "Vivien" review. 🖤🖤🖤

So, just so you know, Their first album is NOT fronted by Mike Patton, It's front by Chuck Mosley, and is called We Care Alot, Introduce Yourself was their second album, also fronted by Chick Mosley, and their 3rd album THE REAL THING was the one which began the Mike Patton years of Faitn No More. It should also be noted that Courtney Love (singer of Hole) also sang for Faith No More for a short period of time. You should go ALL the way back to We Care Alot and listen to how they progressed over the years. Chuck was a great front man for Faith No More in his own right, and though I am a much bigger fan of Patton and all of his work, we would not have a Patton for any of the stuff we know, if Chuck Mosley didn't help put Faith No More on the map with their moderate hit We Care Alot. W had to have that in order to GET to the Mike Patton years. I do wonder, had it not been for Faith No More, would Mike Patton have made waves either way? Cause it was Faith No More that got Mr. Bungle on a major Record Deal, and it was Chuck Mosley that got Faith No More to the level they were at when Mike Patton took over. Can we thank Chuck Mosley for all Mike Patton's success?

I had to do an art project in college where we picked a song, and portrayed the mood or message of it in visual form, with three different drawings/paintings etc. “Just a Man“ by FNM was the song that I picked.

10:52 Yep, Molly!! That's Portuguese, he's actually saying: I can't drive, now it appears, my finger stuck in my nose. Lol!

dear molly, i highly recommend going back and listening to the first faith no more album, "we care a lot". their first vocalist, chuck mosely, was the opposite of patton - but still so good in a whole different way. he was raw, rough, and full of emotions. it's a great debut album, one of my favourites as a die hard faith no more fan. by the way, chuck also realeased a great solo album, "will rap over hard rock for food" - also worth a listen.

This album is one that I love plus brings great memories from my youth 🔥💜 Edit: Their next album "album of the year".. It's also awesome but check out the version of it that has the cover song "I started a joke".. Originally a Bee gees song I think.

One of the best albums ever made

King for a day - brought memories and a tear to me eye. 2001 was a massively upturned year for me - but in the end - cleansing and uplifting

Your reviews are the best! In my top 2 favorite reactors

Another favorite album of mine. Take this bottle is a great song to hear and feel. The lyrics I can wait to love in heaven just hit me cause I've felt that way many times in my life. Great reaction.

Thanks really enjoy how you break down an album. Keep up the good work

yesss nice one Molly, great album, and an awesome review. I'd say either go back a couple of albums to The Real Thing, or one album ahead to Album of the Year. Or scratch that and review a Mr Bungle album XD keep it going we love to hear your opinions xx

Bought the Cd when it came out. Saw them & ment them. got in for sound check. At the front all the way through. What a day 👍

Oh boy! I'm all in and i just discovered this channel 2 seconds ago. #swoon

my favorite faith no more album!!! i think this is their final magnum opus, with a little bit of everything.

Super glad that you like Faith No More,another fun and entertaining review:)) And coincidence or not? I like how the color of your t-shirt always matches the main color on the cover of the rated FNM album( Angel Dust-blue) ( KFAD-red) :)) "Album of the year" next please!:))

I have to say it's great to watch someone listen to the music that I've loved for so many years. You have great observations. I don't know if you are a musician but you have a musicians ear for sure. That and a great ability to put your observation into words. It's great to see the new generations discovering the diamonds from the bones of my favorite music.

If you go one further, you have the last of their classic period, and my personal favorite with Album of the Year. If you go back, you have the first with Mike Patton, The Real Thing. Technically, you can't go wrong in either direction.

These guys are amazing songwriters that have a vast palate to choose from. Ive listened to this one soany times i could never guess a number. Classic shit right here.

I love FNM and your reviews! Greetings from Buenos Aires

I always think it's cool when young people like the music I grew up on!

Ooooh this is my all time favourite album, great to hear some one else's opinion. King for a day is my favourite and I hope to cover it one day but mike is haaard to copy! The bass sound is the glue between all fnm albums. Enjoy! Subbed

I loved your "review" KFAD is an all time favorite to me. Fantastic job!!!

Mike's vocals on Evidence are smooth as silk

Good tho hear your thoughts as always. 😊 I recall not liking this a whole lot when it first came out, but it grew on me. I do miss Roddy’s keys though and they’re considerably less prominent on this album (he was away for much of its recording due to personal issues). It’s interesting that you mention nu metal and SOAD as this album was hugely influential to both. The follow up “Album of the Year”, IMO is better than this and definitely worth a listen at some point, but your next port of call should be “The Real Thing” which is a classic.

Apart from the astounding songs and performances, I just want to point out Andy Wallace's production on this thing. Like RATM first album, Chilli Peppers' Blood Sugar, this record is really a landmark for both rawness and clarity in the mix. Somehow he managed it with a far denser sound and arrangements than either of those two I mentioned. Great that it was also the best record by maybe the best band of all time, a real perfect storm.

I'd recommend The Real Thing as your next stop on they Faith No More train. Totally with you on the big, wide open, expansive sound on The Last to Know. That song gives me chills. The guitar tone on that song is fantastic too. There is nothing too crazy going on with it, it's just very forward and present in the mix.

I initially didn't like this album as much because it lacks the strong keyboard presence of Angel Dust, but it definitely grew on me over the years to where I now consider it a masterpiece. This album also has a ton of great b-side songs that didn't make the cut, like "Absolute Zero" and "Greenfields", which I feel are every bit as good as the songs on King For a Day.

One of my favorite FNM albums and it was cool to see a fresh perspective on it. This actually makes me think I've kinda slept on a few tracks near the end of the tracklist so I'm going to give the whole album another listen soon.

I think Dog Fashion Disco is perfect to do after this reaction. So you can hear the Mike Patton influence. I'm still trying...lol I think the Sweet Nothings album would be a perfect starting point that truly shows how much they can play with so many genres. I haven't asked in a long while but I love your reactions and I'm convinced you will love them and end up down a great rabbit hole. I gotta at least keep trying. I hope it will still happen like you said. Great reaction and I will always keep watching either way.

Great reaction 🔥, still waiting for the Soundgarden reaction 😅🤘🏽

carallrro vudor its my favorite track

El album que me acompaña desde mi adolescencia y ya tengo 40. Saborear todos los estilos por los que incurre sabiendo que solo ellos pueden conseguirlo de tal manera.

Bought this the day it came out. A little more straight ahead compared to earlier albums but it blew me away ! I blasted this album at home and in my car. Sounds as fresh and powerful today as it did way back then.

Masterpiece!!! ❤

Cool review! I also enjoyed Angled Dust review and Weezer reviews. As for the next Faith No More album to review, I reccomend The Real Thing from 1989, it's one of their best albums, totally different than Angel Dust & King for a Day, but still mind blowing.

Amazing album. Their best. Excellent commentary and observations.

Caralho Voador is Portuguese for "Flying Dick" there's also a spoken Portuguese part of the song "Eu não posso dirigir E agora aparece Meu dedo enterrado No meu nariz" which translates to.. not really sure honestly XD, something to do with driving and picking your nose. I do know that Mike Patton is fluent in Portuguese and FMN has done the song "Evidence" where Mike has sang the whole song in Portuguese at several of their concerts

Masterpiece❤

For me this is one of the 3 top albums ever. Saw them live for the first time in 1995 on the tour for this album. They started with Ricochet which already sold them to me, but the most chilling moment ever in a concert was when they did King for a Day, dragged that atmospheric ending out forever and then directly went into Epic, which really was a very epic moment. Never been so blown away and satisfied at the same time in a concert before. To give an impression of how they were live at that time, this is from this tour, just a few days before the concert I was on: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-quvJJWL4wwU.html

Probably the biggest difference between this album and Angel Dust are 2 factors: 1. Jim Martin their longtime guitarist quite after AD and in this album was replaced by Patton Mr. bungle bandmate Trey Spruance. 2. Roddy Bottum their keyboardist was absent for most of the recording thanks to being affected by the deaths of his father and Kurt Cobain.

Love Faith No More. Start from the beginning. All their stuff is awesome

Great album review. King for a day is my fav track. I hope you carry on with Faith no More, Mike Pattern joined the band on their third studio album "The Real Thing". So many great tracks, my fav is "The Real Thing", it also includes a great Black Sabbath cover of "War Pigs" Ozzy loved their version, he also performed it live with them in 1990 with James Hetfield.

My favorite FNM album. Their previous guitarist from Angel Dust had left and Trey Spruance of Mr. Bungle came in to fill the spot for this album, and it shows. Would love to see your reaction to the band Tomahawk, which consists of Mike Patton and the guitarist from The Jesus Lizard. Would also love to see your reaction to The Jesus Lizard - the juxtaposition of the tight guitar riffs and wild singing style of David Yow is just *chef’s kiss.* They fit more into the math rock / offbeat punk style that you often react to with DEP. For Tomahawk, I’d recommend starting with the debut album, and for The Jesus Lizard, I’d start with the album Shot. Love your videos! It’s so fun to listen to these tracks that I grew up to through new ears.

My absolute favorite band ever. Love them.

Wish i could give this a million thumbs up.

this album is all over the place! i do love faith no more!

This is the first cassette I bought when I was a teen, defined my life so much lol

Love your intro lol 👍

I'm not sure if it's video material, but since I was reminded of it, I recommend giving "Folio A: Book of Souls" by Secret Chiefs 3 a listen sometime. SC3 is headed by the guy who played guitar on this particular FNM album. It's nearly all instrumental (and excellent), but there is one song, if you think you've heard everything from Mike Patton.

"The last to know" BEST song ever

This album took a while to grow on me when I listened to it but after a while it became my favorite FNM album

My favorite album of theirs. Has a lot of personal meaning to me.

Hey Molly I really enjoy your listens to albums. It makes me want to listen to King for a Day in full now. I would recommend taking a step back in time now and going to The Real Thing for your next FNM album listen. It was Mike Patton's first album with the band, replacing Chuck Mosely. You'll hear how young he sounded, and his vocals are dramatically different to Angel Dust and King For A Day and onwards in his music career.

Masterpiece
