Outrageous Mike Patton Moments
* During the 1992 Angel Dust tour with Guns N' Roses:
o At one show in Lisbon, Faith No More invited the audience to throw garbage on stage. Patton then rummaged around and ate some of the trash. video
o At another show in South America, the crowd was throwing empty plastic water bottles at Faith No More. Someone threw a bottle on-stage that had urine in it. Mike Patton opened the bottle and poured the contents over his head, plunging the entire audience into shocked silence.
o Patton defecated in an orange juice carton and then sealed it and returned it to Axl Rose's tourbus vending machine.
* During the MTV Music Awards performance of Epic in 1990, Patton flopped around on stage like the controversial dying fish from the video. video
* At a 1995 concert in Chile, the excited crowd began to spit on Faith No More. Patton encouraged this and even invited people to spit in his open mouth while singing. video
* During a European tour, Patton defecated on a park bench in front of Kensington Palace.
* During a 1991 FNM concert in Denmark, Patton told the audience that tour-mates, Lenny Kravitz and Sinead O'Connor were copulating in the hospitality tent. Kravitz looked on in horror.
* Patton became infamous for talking about his self-stimulation habits in the press. He often wore a t-shirt with a grotesque image of a man sitting on a toilet seat, pleasuring himself, and the words "Girls are OK--but they're not the real thing."
* During a Faith No More concert, Patton took off his boot, urinated in it, and then drank it.
* Patton regularly did flips while singing on stage. He often landed painfully on his back, but would get right up and continue singing without interuption. video video 2
* Patton and Faith No More were famous for showing their disdain for MTV...on MTV. This can be seen in the Hanging with MTV performance during the Angel Dust era, where the band continuously interrupted a flustered VJ while she was trying to introduce the next video. video
* Patton, (whilst with Faith No More) during their encore, played their classic tune EPIC at the Phoenix Festival 1993, Stratford upon Avon, Mike whilst singing - urinated all over the security staff at the front of the stage, infront of a 58,000 strong amused crowd.
* In 2002, Patton, this time fronting Tomahawk at the London Astoria, again exposed his penis and urinated on a bunch of photographers. Officials at the venue were horrified, but Patton claimed after the show that it was merely a squirting dildo he'd shoved in his pants before going on-stage. The admission seemed to satisfy the press. However, in a recent interview Patton was asked if it was real or not and was quoted as saying, "There's a dick. There's piss. You do the math."

Patton Trivia
* Patton claimed to be an obsessive fan of crooked televangelist Robert Tilton
* Patton's right hand is permanently numb from an on-stage accident during his third concert with Faith No More, where he unintentionally cut himself on a broken bottle and severed the tendons and nerves in his hand. He can use his hand, but he has no feeling in it (much to the surprise of both Patton and his doctor, who had told him the exact opposite).
* Patton was not classically trained and neither reads nor writes music in the traditional sense. Instead, he composes in his home studio and on his computer.
* The recent General Patton Vs. the X-ecutioners was completely arranged and mixed by Patton on his home computer.
* Patton was recently one of two guest soloists at an Italian opera [citation needed]. A recording may see the light eventually [citation needed].
* Patton has claimed to be a video game junkie.
* Patton used to collect S&M masks.
