Former Faith No More and current Tomahawk/Fantomas frontman Mike Patton and his record label, Ipecac Recordings, have issued the following “tongue-in-cheek” statement about the reported incident that occurred in London on March 10th that involved Patton pissing on security guards at the London Astoria last Sunday:
"So Mike Patton and the band Tomahawk roll into London on March 10th for their triumphant packed show at the Astoria. Before the show, though, there was business to attend to. It turns out that several members of nu-metal's inner circle (who happened to be in London) had requested a pow wow with the Godfather of nu-metal, Mike Patton. The topic for discussion was to get Mike's approval for a Faith No More tribute record as well as to mull over the multi-million dollar offer for a Faith No More reunion, nu-metal festival tour. Attending the meeting were potential tour participants, Chino (Deftones), Brandon (Incubus), Fred (Limp Bizkit), Coby (Papa Roach), Joey (Slipknot) and Gavin (Bush) along with Mike Patton and Bill Gould (Faith No More).
"The meeting was going smoothly until for an unknown reason, Patton stormed out of the meeting. He later told Tomahawk bandmate, John Stanier, that Chino was very drunk and making unrealistic demands having to do with financial issues. As Patton left the venue a member of the Astoria security crew grabbed him and told him to get his 'skinny little ass back in the meeting and make it happen!' Mike refused and a shoving match ensued. After cooler heads prevailed the meeting was adjourned and Tomahawk prepared to take the stage. Before taking the stage, Tomahawk bandmates Kevin Rutmanis and Duane Denison lightened Mike's dark mood by showing him the toys they purchased earlier in one of London's finest fetish stores. One of the items was a rubber dildo that squirts water. Mike decided that this would be the perfect prank to get even with the nu-metal lovin' hooligan security guard."
"I think everyone knows the rest of the story and has seen the pictures. When Mike was apprehended back stage and pulled the dildo from his pants, the tension was relieved and all parties had a laugh about it except the photographers at the front of the stage that thought it was real.
"On a side note Mike did give his blessing to the tribute record but vetoed the nu-metal festival... For now!"

AshPatton - 2/6/2004 9:01:39 AM Dude - I don't care what anybody says about FNM - it is fucking amazing- as is anything that Patton makes. He is smarter than any of us will ever be. If you say that he sucks you have to realize that he is better than you. You suck.
labiusca - 1/15/2004 5:06:06 PM I am Mike's biggest fan....! He is the best singer I've ever heard!!!!!! My Dream...?

I like all the Faith no More songs with Mike Patton has vocalist(Sorry, Chuck!)... MIKE: I'm with you it doesn't matter what!!!! Everyone can look in my eye and testify...
EVOLVE - 12/18/2003 3:43:08 PM I agree w/ DR. Phibs about faith No More, it was cheeser times for him. Now on the other hand I saw Tomahawk in concert w/ the Melvins, in Chicago, and it was unfreaking believable. I was completly fixatted to Mike the entire performance. He is no doubt a musical genius. Oh yea! He's gorgeous to.

pattonfreakgirl - 11/7/2002 5:06:57 AM DAMN STRAIGHT!!! HIS OWN FESTIVAL THAT WOULD BE SWEEEEEEEEEEEETTT ~~
fnmtomahawk - 11/5/2002 9:59:45 PM Pattonfreakgirl has the right idea. Every note, every line, every sound, any thing that Mike does is fucking genius! I've been a FNM fan for as long as I can remember and have followed Mikes career extensively, so when I finally got to see Tomahawk perform with Tool 2 months ago I swear I had an orgasm with every note! There isn't a single person in Rock history who was more inovative or inspirational than Mike Patton! The fact that the likes of Fred Durst got to even breath the same air as Mr. Patton is just ludicrist. I think a FNM reunion would be fucking awesome but they would have to tour solo because who could possibly be worthy of sharing the ticket with them, except maybe Mr. Bungle, Tomahawk,Fantomas, Peeping Tom, and Lovage. Hey Mike could have his own music festival just using his own bands! I'd give my small intestine to see that show!
pattonfreakgirl - 11/4/2002 12:07:33 PM PEOPLE NEED TO REALIZE MIKE PATTON IS A GENIUS IN EVERYTHING HES EVER DONE!! IN MY BOOK EVERYTHING HE TOUCHS TURNS TO GOLD!! DONT EVER COMPARE HIM TO ANYBODY ELSE, FOR NO ONE ELSE IS WORTHY NEXT TO HIM!! HES THE MASTER WITH THE POWER AND NOBODY COULD EVER COMPARE AND YOU ALL NEED TO QUIT DENYING THIS!! YOU ALL KNOW ITS TRUE!! KEEP FLYING WITH THE ANGELS MIKE!!
pattonfreakgirl - 10/25/2002 2:20:29 PM i just wanna say i love all of mike pattons projects, they are all equally excellent!! hes a genius and for those of you that dont know it... you have bad taste so who cares what you think! and yes i agree with patton NEW METAL SUX!, its not even metal in my book, its yuppie rock and mike patton is the best to sum it all up and ~~TOMAHAWK~~KICKS~~ARS!!!!
CrashAndBurn - 3/20/2002 12:42:35 PM For anyone that doesn't know... Patton has said MANY times that he hates Nu-Metal and not to point the figure at him for starting that "shit"! There will be NO Nu-Metal tour with Faith No More, that you can take to the bank! As even if you hate Patton and/or Faith No More you can't say that the man doesn't talent... he was fronting 4 bands and running a label at the same time. And musically NO I didn't like all the stuff but I can it has some really genius to it.
Head_Injury - 3/18/2002 12:05:20 PM So Reporters can't tell the difference between a dildo and a schlong? What about the smell, yaknow piss smells, Likely story.
DaytonaTurboZ - 3/17/2002 5:31:55 PM Who gives a rat's ass? Mike Patton was in a cool band at one point, but I really don't give a flying fuck about what happened to the "father of nu metal."
ZosotheEdd - 3/17/2002 1:45:58 PM Why cant they spell new correctly?
Dr_Phibes - 3/17/2002 12:13:25 PM Faith No More SUCKED
