Why does mike patton hate wolfmother

Nice transition. I had a bit of a ball, I think, around then. Getting to feel that kind of acknowledgement from people for something I was a part of. What impact did that initial pandemonium have on your personal life? I thought that was pretty amazing. So overall the adjustment was positive? Generally positive, yeah. What sort of industry wisdom are you armed with that you wish you had ten years ago?

I guess just enjoy the ride. Try and make the most of it while it lasts. I think that dude, like, did a good job and worked his ass off. So if anything, I need to learn something from my former self now. I think we all need to call upon that sometimes. How did that make you feel to hear that? He has the kind of background that entitles him to an opinion about music. Mike certainly has more experience and knowledge of music than the average radio listener, or someone like me, who has written, recorded and performed music on and off since I was 12 years old.

I would venture to guess that Mike Patton even has more musical knowledge and experience than any of the guys in Wolfmother. Prove me wrong. In fact, most of the posts resort to name calling. So was Freddy Mercury. The amount of posts of this nature make me wonder if its not just an excuse for the posters to write out their subconscious homo-erotic fantasies.

The only argument with any remote validity is that Mike Patton is currently making unlistenable crap music, which is a matter of opinion at best. The record buying public is eating it up, just like they are Wolfmother. I think Mike was expressing his frustration with the realization that the music industry is largely fueled by the ignorant masses.

Let me be so bold as to paraphrase:. I know I would prefer to have a song I wrote be praised by Brian Eno than sell , copies to 12 year old girls. Love the last line by the way. Just a thought…. Juliana said this on November 9, at pm Reply.

Asking difficult questions both to answer and to frame and searching for answers that may not be what everyone wants to hear are definitely artistic endevours. Bashman said this on February 11, at am Reply. Just let go, throw the album on, turn the stereo up and headbang around the house.

Fuck analysis. N said this on May 7, at am Reply. Well… comparing Wolfmother to Justin Timberlake is nameless… And comparing any work Patton has been involved in to Wolfmother is also quite useless, as they are not comparable. And do you really think Wolfmother recorded their EP in with that old fashioned style just to sell records to teenagers?

Is it indicative of a collective lack of self-confidence, or do we just continually expect our celeberities to always issue perfectly pre-planned, edited and PR approved speaches?

Mike Patton is on a whole different spaceship than those guys. The dinosaurs. Snuggleblade said this on May 22, at am Reply. Mike Patton is a strange guy. Patton sees himself as more than just a conventional musician, he tries to be an artist as you can see in his experimental steps towards fantomas and so… in the s he already hated the modern sounds cuz he recognizes many groups copy or use sounds older ones used as well.

As an artist he wanted to bring on the development of music as an art. I listened to fewer and fewer new sounds for the last 10 years. Nothing new, nothing special. Patton hates Wolfmother, because they adapted music from the late 60s or earlier 70s. Dunno said this on June 2, at pm Reply. Jimmi said this on June 23, at am Reply. First, remember that all music was new at some point, and that some people, somewhere, were listening to it. Second, most of us, however old we are now, were teenagers once.

Many of us have experienced that youthful sense of egocentric infallibility. There is definitely the danger that as one gains more experience, one will make more and more judgements based on habit rather than critical thinking. People with experience and open minds are likely to make better judgements overall. Listen to the bands that Wolfmother themselves list as influences, and THEN listen to the bands and musicians that THOSE bands list as their influences, and so on for as much as you can.

In the end, you may still be a big fan of Wolfmother. You will certainly have a lot better understanding of their music, and a lot of other music as well. This will leave you a more developed sense of the music you like, and better equipped to defend the merits of those bands and musicians. Mike Patton might be contributing to modern music and blah blah blah, all that bullshit, but in my humble opinion, modern music sucks. Five times platinum, they must be doing something right.

When was the last time that Patton had an album that reached that many people? Has he ever? Honestly, it sounds to me like Patton is in the wrong field. That would be like saying Stevie Ray Vaughan sucks because he was greatly influenced by Jimi Hendrix. T said this on June 29, at pm Reply. Although I think T makes a good point regarding respect among musicians, his post brings me back to this again:.

Musicians are people, too. When I first posted on this topic, I expected to be flamed by Wolfmother fans. I am pleasantly surprised by the general level-headedness of all the discussion here. Mike Patton actually apologised on Triple J over here. He said he was just in one of those moods and he listened to Wolfmother again.

I quite like Wolfmother and I love all Mike Patton bands, collaborations and so on. Sara said this on July 2, at pm Reply. By the way. Mike Patton and Imani Coppola were on it two weeks in a row. You should eb able to find the second interview if you go on the Triple J site.
