Erin Broadley: Mike Patton: A Perfect Place

ERIN BROADLEY: Mike Patton: A Perfect Place

Our story begins with a poker game gone bad... a lifeless body on the floor, hand still clutching its cards... whacked on the head with a bass guitar. In the background, Mike Patton's haunting film score crescendos over the radio waves as the other two poker players argue over what to do with the body. Incinerator? Garbage disposal? They haven't a clue.

Without a doubt, Derrick Scocchera's short film, A Perfect Place, is a dark comedy, wonderfully directed and acted. But it is Patton's striking...

"Mike Patton's my daddy, telling me to finish my eel."

can we get this on a t-shirt??

Mike Patton is my idol, this interview is great!

oh incredible... "Finish your eel. Be a good girl."

the film and score are really amazing. everyone i've showed it to so far has loved it, even people who aren't familiar with Patton's work. i highly suggest checking it out!

and i was a good girl, i finished the eel...

Seeing fantomas perform woth Terry Bozzio on drums. Best concert in years.
Mike Patton is right next there to the man with the horns.
Anything he does, has this eery touch

most neato.

Great interview

What... no questions about Faith No More reunions, Wolfmother or hair gel???? Those questions never get old!!

Hehehehe... awesome interview, thanks!

Mike Patton is awesome....so is Erin Broadley...WOW, another killer interview!!! You interview the people in the industry that we want to hear about (Mike Patton, Maynard Keenan, Slash , Nikki Sixx) Very cool. Awesome interview. And the clip.....how cool

Great interview

I love that his label is called Ipecac. Mike is pure genius, I can't wait to see this film. Great interview.

Mike Patton is a genius!

seriously.

AHHHH OMG!! I fucking love Mike Patton! His vocal range is incredible. And I loved A Perfect Place. He is the greatest. Also Fantomas kicks ass. Also King Buzzo (he apparently doesn't like being called that...) AND THE MELVINS. That is all.

Lol, Terry's son Raanen is my ex.
Terry is a tool IRL. Amazing passionate drummer though.

all the patton projects are fantastic...i especially like the faith no more music, and the collaboration with jennifer charles when they did 'lovage'
he's fucking amazing

Excellent interview! Been a fan of his since FNM days, going to check out this short film now.

i miss the faith no more days... it was a glorious time.

Mike Patton's the man!!!
