My personal favorite Mike Patton! I love him!



Mike Patton (born Michael Allan Patton, January 27, 1968, in Eureka, California) is an American musician. He is best known as the lead singer of Faith No More from 1988 to 1998, but has also handled lead vocals for Mr. Bungle, Tomahawk, Fantômas and Peeping Tom. He often produces side projects in collaboration with other musicians, such as John Zorn, Dan the Automator, Björk, The Melvins, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Melt-Banana, Sepultura, Kool Keith, The X-Ecutioners, Subtle, Rahzel and Kaada. Along with Greg Werckman, he co-founded and runs Ipecac Recordings. In May of 2006 he released his newest album "Peeping Tom" which is a collaboration of efforts from several other musicians. It is considered Mike Patton's version of a pop album, it took him several years to create/release. He performed live with Amon Tobin, a.o. at the 2005 Dour Festival.

Patton possesses a wide range of vocal textures and styles, ranging from falsettos, Sinatra-esque crooning and even death metal style grunts and screeches. This diversity has earned him the respect of numerous critics and fans, who consider him one of the most talented rock vocalists to emerge in the 90s.
