@perfectskndknee Love Robin, a true legend. Played with him in Sack Trick and he was funny and welcoming to all. Rock Valhalla gained a good one with @RobinGuy
Faith No More - 'Ashes to Ashes' - BBC Top of the Pops - London, England - 05/30/1997
Little-known FNM lore for your day: late drummer Robin Guy was filling in for Puffy during this performance — and he was supposed to wear a ‘Puffy mask’ the whole time. Naturally, the second the music kicked in and he had an opening, he ripped that thing right off…
Patton’s reaction? Pure, unfiltered ‘absolutely not’ energy. You can spot him flipping Robin off multiple times (first one hits around the 40‑second mark) and honestly, it just adds to the chaotic charm of this era😂😂

"Hurt" is not an original by Johnny Cash. The song was written by Trent Reznor (Nine Inch Nails) in 1994 for the album The Downward Spiral. Rick Rubin had to insist several times on Cash recording his version, at first Johnny found the idea completely insane because the original version is industrial and noisy. At 71, already very ill, almost blind and with trembling hands, Cash completely transformed the band.
The iconic video, directed by Mark Romanek, was filmed at the House of Cash (his own museum). June Carter Cash appears looking at him fondly, the video was shot in February 2003, a few months before she died (May) and Johnny himself (September).
Trent Reznor was so moved that he declared, "This song is not mine anymore." It is considered one of the best covers of all time.
It's 1970. Elton John pulls out a crumpled sheet of paper and plays "Tiny Dancer" (my all-time favourite song) for the first time in front of his lyricist, Bernie Taupin, and Taupin’s wife, Maxine, who inspired the song.
