Mike Patton/Faith no More and the Face of Fascism

This video is totally awesome....according to many viewers and fans of the great Mike Patton, this video was most likely shot in the Czech Republic circa 1988 (well at least the scenery and plot are supposed to depict that time and place). The video actually came out in 1997 and I recall getting the CD, King For a Day, Fool for a Lifetime around 97' and not really digging this song that much (I had others favs on the CD). This proves that when an artist puts some type of visual with their work, how it can totally change the whole thing around. Mike Patton is a genius at this type of thing.

Enjoy the video and pay close attention to the end...there are quick little flashbacks that make the whole plot make more sense. (You may have to watch it a couple of times to get it...I have!) But, even if you get that part of the video, there are still more questions...like who? why? this is the beauty of art I suppose. You can make this be about what you want it to be. However, there is no denying that he is in a Fascist country and is the beautiful face of the anti-fascist (sorry guys)...its still a good video even if you don't think Patton is totally hot!
