Mike Patton Tells It Like It Is: "Wolfmother Sucks!"
POSTED ON 8/31/2006 | PERMALINK |9 Comments | BOOKMARK
mike patton hates wolfmotherMike Patton hates Wolfmother. A lot. They make his head hurt. And he's not afraid to share his pain in this amusing clip.

All Music Guide has similar, if less entertaining, things to say about the band:
There's no denying Australian heavy rock trio Wolfmother has been raised on rock -- specifically, raised on '70s rock. Problem is, from all appearances on their eponymous debut, they made their journey into the past via the twin gateway drugs of the White Stripes and Queens of the Stone Age, and once they dug back to the original Zeppelin and Sabbath texts (stopping along the way for some Soundgarden discs and maybe, for lyrical inspiration, Yes and Rush), they indulged so much it screwed with their sense of aesthetics. They threw everything and anything together, not bothering with minor problems like how their frenzied retro-rock doesn't quite support songs with titles like "The White Unicorn" and "Where Eagles Have Been" -- Zeppelin drew inspiration from JRR Tolkien and Sabbath certainly sang about fairies and gnomes, but neither band sounded as precious, inarticulate, or confused as Wolfmother does here.

without mike patton a band like wolfmother would have a hard time existing. their pastiche style retro rock is a direct descendant of a lot of patton's work. but a quick question...why do we have to fight? are we not allowed to like both? gray area people, it does exist.

Its a bit of a sweeping statement to say 'Ive heard patton. he isnt all that great. Seriously.' I mean what does that mean,very vague what have you heard? he has a very eclectic output, in comparison to wolf mother whom will be forgotten,(if you like them I'm assuming your taste is veering toward the mainstream which is cemented by the fact you don't 'get' Patton's music) Mike with his collaboration's with John Zorn and other figures of idiosyncrasy will remain with us into the future...
