The Faith No More & Mr. Bungle Companion

Place any musical style in front of Faith No More, and seemingly, a timeless song of their own would soon be created. Between 1985-1997, Faith No More issued six full-length recordings (including such classic titles as "The Real Thing" and "Angel Dust") and in the process, influenced countless musicians throughout the world.

But that's not to say it was smooth sailing - members coming and going, inter-band bickering, never being the toast of the critics, etc. And much of the same could be said about the zanier Mr. Bungle, which also featured FNM singer Mike Patton.

Now, for the first time ever, there is a book that explores and analyzes both bands' histories - The Faith No More & Mr. Bungle Companion.

Interviews include: Wes Borland (Black Light Burns/Limp Bizkit), Max Cavalera (Soulfly/ex-Sepultura), Johnny Christ (Avenged Sevenfold), Gilby Clarke (ex-Guns N' Roses), Everlast (House of Pain/solo artist), Mike Fleischmann (Vision of Disorder), John Garcia (Vista Chino/ex-Kyuss), Mitts (Madball), Angelo Moore (Fishbone), Jason Newsted (Newsted/ex-Metallica), Travis Stever (Coheed and Cambria), Kim Thayil (Soundgarden), Devin Townsend (Devin Townsend Project/ex-Strapping Young Lad), Ville Valo (HIM), and Jeff Walker (Carcass).

Finally, a complete and thorough overview of Faith No More and Mr. Bungle's careers…. Strap yourself in and/or hold on tight!

If you're a big fan check it out,otherwise skip it

I'm a huge fan of both bands and it was fun revisiting their stories put together in a concise package, but you could probably spend a day on the internet researching and come away with the same amount of knowledge. I would recommend cranking the speed up quite a bit as he is a very slow reader. The author is obviously passionate about the subject though, so if you are as well you'll probably be able to look past any of these faults.

Not much more than what you could find reading Wikipedia. The narration is terrible with slow awkward delivery and multiple mispronunciations.
