About this episode
This week, we’re joined by Jon Lewis of The Dopamines to dive into Faith No More’s explosive 1990 hit “Epic.” While it might seem wild to label anything connected to the prolific Mike Patton as a one-hit wonder, “Epic” remains their only Hot 100 crossover, landing in the Top 10 and cementing their place in rock history. We explore the band’s evolution, the creative dynamics that shaped their sound, and the hilarious rivalry with Anthony Kiedis. Along the way, we touch on Mike Patton’s many musical ventures, the quirks of Faith No More’s early years, and the legacy of a band that redefined alternative rock. Is “Epic” a thunderous triumph or a blunder in disguise? We’ll answer the age old question “WHAT…IS…IT?” in this episode!
