January 10, 1996

Coast before I was born and I’ve never even seen a
picture of my grandfather. So there’s not exactly
money rolling around.

But how would they even know that?

Well, Mike knows me. He probably told them.
I think the main thing is that they were feeling really
guilty because they jacked me around a bit and they
were afraid that maybe I was going to make them
look bad so they had to
make me look bad first.

Do you hold that
against Mike or Faith No
More?

I just watch their
record sales plummet and
I’m satisfied. I have no
beef, really. If they had
done really well and then
they were fucking me over,
then I'd be pissed off but
they haven’t done well, so
there’s no harm done.

Have they broken

No. It’s just rumours,
There’s a lot of paranoia
every time a Mr. Bungle
record comes out that it’s
going to destroy Faith No
More. It’s bullshit. There’s
no real problematic
dichotomy between the
two bands. It actually
works out pretty well. They
haven’t broken up. In fact, they just recorded
something.

Mike Patton, my hero. .

I read in the press that you are a Satanist.
Is this true?

Oh yeah, the British press think that I’m really
Satanic and scary for some reason. My answer to
that is there are so many perspectives on that issue.
If you’re talking about the way that William Blake
talks about the Devil, then I have to say that I ally
myself with those kinds of things, but if we’re
talking about Anton Levay, or those who like that

kind of thing, then I’d have to say emphatically _

     

. nay, my GOD (-ed.)

 

no. It’s just a branch of Humanism. It’s really
boring to me. It’s just a bunch of moralistic bullshit.
I’m not really into morals, so I’m not really into
Satan.

What would be something that you would
want to tell the readers of the Other Press?

I’d just say distrust in every appearance.
Appearances are there only to deceive. There’s
never been a truth behind
any appearance. I’ve
found that relevant to
every aspect of my
character, my being, and
my experience.

So you’re not a
Satanist or a silver
spoon-fed rich kid as
you’ve been labeled in
the press...

I wish you could see
where I live (/aughs)! I
should just send them a
picture of my room. I don’t
need to clean the fucking
slate and clarify issues.
People are going to believe
what they want. I can’t
wait to go there [Great
Britain]. I’m just going to
admit all of it and
hopefully get this
reputation as this world
traveling philanthropist. I
should dress really nicely
over there. The British
press are totally crazy and evil and all that.

They’re very destructive of their own music
scene.

I don’t care how predatory they are, they can
do no damage to us. People who take kind that kind
of press seriously can fuck off anyway.

The funny thing is that people take it very
seriously over there.

Mmm-Hmm. Well, they can FUCK OFF
(laughs)!
