Angel Dust is the mutt's nuts too, even if it's been a while since I last listened to it. Any fans of it have probably come across this before, but for those who haven't and have about an hour to spare...

I'm still not sure whether I prefer Angel Dust or the Real Thing. Edge of the World is so delightfully sleazy sounding while taking the piss out of pedos but Jizzlobber is so... Jizzlobber!

As I've mentioned in the past, I quite like King for a Day even if it is a wee bit patchy (a couple of the nu-metal before 'nu-metal' existed parts are a bit too redolent of Disturbed for my liking). Evidence is awesome and I'm also partial towards the S/T track. That bass is delicious!

Has anyone seen them live in their most latest stint of comeback tours? I was supposed to see them in Australia but missed out because I wasn't in the country, but I heard it was an amazing show. I actually just posted a video about it in the Chatroulette thread because they streamed their show live on Chatroulette and spoke to random strangers. All of my friends that went said it was a blast. I'm pretty bummed I didn't get to go, would've loved an opportunity to see them live

I'll give those vids a try once I am on a computer that supports flash.

Give Angel Dust a try, no nasally vocals on that one.

I never liked Faith No More, but I was lucky enough to be enlightened just the other day, and now I get it!

I'm really digging Be Aggresive, a total riff fest. And then I hear, "So give it up, I've got to have it. I SWALLOW, I SWALLOW, I SWALLOW, I SWALLOW."

A song about giving head? Awesome, if only George Michael was as eloquent.

I think that 'Epic' is a classic song/video from the 90s, the guitar solo on that song is outstanding, as far as that goes I think that the band as a whole is kick ass, his vocals could be described as very sassy in my opinion, besides epic I havent heard much of there other music except from the the movie 'Black Hawk Down' which had a song on the soundtrack by faith no more that I liked alot, dont know the title of that one.

KFADFFAL is massively underrated, Probably my favorite album from them along with Angel Dust.

it's 'Falling to Pieces' from the same album as 'Epic' (the Real Thing), i'm gonna have to bite the bullet one of these days and pick that one up for a 3rd time, maybe if i can find it on vinyl, i'll have owned it on just about every format haha

Saw these guys in feb, they were great. My favourite cd of theirs would have to be king for a day.
