Mike Patton Sacrifices Relationships For Work

Former Faith No More frontman Mike Patton, now with Tomahawk, tells Katy St. Clair of the Cleveland Scene that his extreme work ethic has posed problems for his relationships. “I’m a lifer,” he says. “I think, in order to do that, you have to make a lot of sacrifices. That means personal things, that means relationships, a lot of things. But with me, that’s my baggage, that’s my thing. I’m gonna work too much, I’m gonna be completely self-absorbed — I’m gonna be a fu**ing a**hole, and that’s just the way it is. Anybody that’s decent at anything is pretty selfish. They gotta be. I’m not in this to be a good guy.” Clevescene.com has since removed the article.
