Outrageous Mike Patton Moments
* In front of a crowd of roughly 58,000, (while with Faith No More) at the 1993 Phoenix Festival in Stratford upon Avon, Patton urinated all over the security staff at the front of the stage during the encore performance of Epic.
I would take a lot of this with a grain of salt, the stuff that has no verifiable source like video, which some of the stuff on that Wikipedia entry does. I have a bootleg (soundboard audio) of this particular show and there's absolutely no indication of anything going on other than Mike singing - you know there's be some kind of big crowd reaction to him doing this, not to mention him being distracted from the song, and there's nothing. Patton's got a big legend growing around him for being a freak, but I think a lot of it has been GREATLY exaggerated and just plain made up (like the piss-drinking - I have yet to see an actual account of this, just people saying it happened.) I don't doubt he's a weirdo, but some of it just seems like the kind of thing that results from people playing "telephone" for 15 years - it seems too ridiculous to be true.
eh, it's still funny.
