I am hopefully not the first person to tell you Faith No More destroyed Soundwave. They grabbed each and every attendee, band and staff member by the balls and didn’t let go until about 10:30. The crowd was immense: practically the only people left at the other stages were diehard fans but even they couldn’t resist.
Simply, Mike Patton is the man. He gets sprayed by security guards whilst singing Lionel Ritchie ballads, jokes about chatroulette and makes the entire crowd go apeshit when screaming into a microphone, megaphone or anything else that dare amplify his voice. His band are not just professionals, they are masters, making everyone else looks like the amateur cunts they are.
This is a group that somehow equally balances tongue-in-cheek hilarity and stern belligerence into the single most perfect rock formula in existence. One of my favourite acts of all time and I pray I get to see them at least once more before I die.
