Behind The Board: Faith No More "The Real Thing" with Matt Wallace

Ойын-сауық

Is the best music the kind that pushes boundaries and digs deep emotionally? Producer Matt Wallace believes this is the kind of music that’s worth making daily.
Inspired by his early exposure to the military radio station, the Far East Network, and his discovery of Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd, Matt put his stamp on music that helped shape a generation through his work with artists including Faith No More, Maroon 5, O.A.R., The Replacements, and Train.

In this brand new episode of “Behind the Board,” Matt Wallace takes us through select tracks from Faith No More’s groundbreaking third studio album, The Real Thing.
Watch the full video to learn how Matt found himself working with the band and how they arrived at the unique blend of muscular guitars and melodic keyboards that earned two Grammy nominations and saw The Real Thing go platinum.

    I was 15 when this came out. I would ride my bike to school listening to my Walkman and FNM. This was the first music band that opened up my eyes. Angel Dust is my number 1 album of all time. When I saw Bill and Ted and when Jim Martin came out of the telephone booth. I stood up and cheered. I play my music at 47 still loud in my car. As a angry teen in the early 90s. FNM was part of my life. I would roam the burbs and vandalize cars and building while listening to FNM. I called off work during HS to race home and watch the premiere of Small victory on MTV.

My favorite album, from my favorite band with my favorite bass player. I listened to this album when I took my dog to get put down this year... I listened to it when my grandfather passed away almost two years ago. This album has gotten me through everything and was my motivation for learning how to play bass. I've been playing almost 30 years now and can't thank you enough for the care and energy that you put into this. All of your efforts and all of your talent during those sessions are still playing today. Thanks Matt.

    Is it though? At the time Angel Dust wasn't as regarded as it is today, & a lot of people thought it was a bit of a let down from The Real Thing. It also took them a long time to release it. I think TRT is '88 & Angel Dust was 93, after grunge had exploded on the scene. The Real Thing was so radically different than anything before it, that it inspired a lot of musicians to be. Genre smashing had never been done quite like that & suddenly everyone could see all the possibilities. Although tbf, you did say "arguably" so this is my argue against that take, lol, -Cheers!

The fact that the buying public didn't buy it as mush as TRT, means they missed the point, and TRT sales were based on casual rock fans, which have always been mercurial, but among those in the hard rock/metal community, it was and still is a huge deal of an album.

    Thank you so much to Gibson TV and Matt Wallace for doing this. You made my day with this video! I’ve watched it twice already. Faith No More were my Beatles and their music changed my life in 1990 when I bought this on cassette. I immediately saved up for a CD player just to listen to this album and Introduce Yourself. Matt Wallace seems like the kindest, most humble human being for someone who has accomplished so much. It was especially great learning more about him and his techniques. The Real Thing remains perfect to this day. The drums sound huge while the vocals and guitars sound in your face. It’s the perfect hybrid of late eighties and what became the early nineties style of production. I still can’t believe Mike Patton was 20-21 when he wrote the lyrics to these songs. Apologies for the long comment, I’m just so happy.

    Based on Matt's comments about "The Real Thing" track, I think Patton is a largely underrated lyricist. Most can agree he's an excellent and diverse vocalist, but, as he put it, his ability to detail the "human condition" largely goes unrecognized. As a DJ in college radio during this era, bands like FNM, Primus, Limbomaniacs, Fungo Mungo, etc. (several of whom I got to interview) were mainstays of my radio show. This was really fantastic. Thanks!

I honestly didn’t give them a chance since I had just gotten into metal and Metallica was my favorite band. A few days after seeing that show a friend of mine who was with me at the show puts The Real Thing on in his car. I immediately was drawn to it. He made sure to not tell me who it was until he was sure I liked it. So confusing and so awesome. Been a huge fan ever since

    Meh, I think The Real Thing has been more influential, especially to musicians. The entire musical landscape changed after this record, because people heard what was actually possible when you smashed genres. Angel Dust wasn't nearly as respected when it released 5 years after this record, as it is today.

    @@JeighNeither I remember when both Real Thing and Angel Dust came out....and The Real Thing absolutely put FNM at the forefront of "Bands to keep an eye on because they are going to take over" I distinctly recall Angel Dust coming out and confusing a LOT of people...who essentially wanted Real Thing Part 2. In many ways the fans who simply wanted another "Epic" jumped ship and those of us who were totally on board for how immense and insane Angel Dust is...embraced it fully. The more radio geared fans were left scratching their heads but I also recall a lot of new fans who love more outsider music really came around and started to see how great FNM are. You're right though...Angel Dust has been one of those albums that seems to have picked up a lot more interest as yesrs go by...because honestly.....can you name another album that sounds like it?! I have a massive music collection and I have a lot of pretty bizarre albums...but Angel Dust....is....well......its just Angel Dust and its amazing.

    @@JeighNeither Angel Dust was released 3 years after The Real Thing, not 5 - and that was only because The Real Thing took so long to take off. The Real Thing was the huge beast on a commercial level for sure but Angel Dust was way more critically acclaimed artistically and has aged a lot better. Angel Dust was the album the band wanted to make.

    It’s such an amazing sounding record. It’s big, bold and very present on the top end. One of the greatest snare and guitar sounds ever for a rock record. But you can’t date it to ‘89 like so many of the hair metal recordings from then. A true instance of capturing the sound of a band instead of mostly capturing the time the band was doing it.

    I was in my second year of high school when Epic came out, and it hit me at just the right spot! I was(and still am) a big Van Halen, Def Leppard, Rush, Metallica and Epic' combination of heaviness, pop and progressiveness in it musicality just hit me hard. I was singing those songs in my head all the damn time in that era! And I know Jim Martin was never part of the core of the band, but FNM has never been the same without him, and the classic Sabbath/Metallica metal style songwriting and guitar playing he brought and had to fight to get into the songs at times.

    I love this guy. This was amazing. Thank you Matt Wallace! It's also worth mentioning that Mike Patton never sung the same after this album, EVER! The high pitch pop/metal tone was gone. It's almost like he decided that he didn't want to be associated with a pop or metal scene anymore. He intentionally ran far from this album, forcing himself to sing from the diaphragm, and properly projecting like a classically trained Italian opera singer. Don't get me wrong, he did amazing stuff after this album (Mr. Bungle - California) being a prime example. But, this type of vocal heard here on THE REAL THING was so cool and I really miss it. Sadly, it will probably never be heard again.

    A really interesting perspective Fernando as personally for me it was the other way around. I much preferred Mike’s deeper vocal on AD and beyond and whilst I love the songs on TRT I found the vocals a bit too nasal. You’re the first person I’ve heard describe his newer vocal style as being operatically influenced and I agree 100%. I guess he explored that style even more on KFAD and his solo stuff too. All good stuff though! And Matt Wallace is a legend! 😁👏

    What incredible work Wallace did on this record, one of my very favorites of the era and probably one of the best-sounding rock records ever. I admit I was a little surprised to hear his criticism of "From Out of Nowhere" - what he singles out as a fault is probably what made my hair stand on end and immediately push this band to the forefront of my attention. It's the patience, in a song with such urgent energy and immediacy, to hold back that soaring chorus (post-chorus?) until well into the song, and then to unleash it fully only at the end - and then to snatch it away again, leaving the listener wanting more. To me, delivering it all upfront would have made it sound more formulaic - as it was on record, it instead stood way out from the pack and made me rush to buy the album to find out more. It's a credit to Wallace that he supported the band's vision on the song structure (and of course, made it sound so incredible). This listener agrees with his lightning-in-a-bottle assessment - every member of the band was astoundingly on the money throughout.
