MIKE PATTON TALKS ABOUT THE WRITING PROCESS FOR CRANK 2
Friday, April 17th, 2009 at 3:00pm by Axl Rosenberg
Crank 2: High Voltage hits theaters today, and, as we’ve mentioned before, it’s got a score by the always godlike Mike Patton (and performances by Tool’s Maynard James Keenan and Linkin Park’s Chester Bennington, but that’s another story for another blog post). I still haven’t heard said score. But I think I’m gonna get baked and go to a late show tonight, preferably in Times Square, with the loudest, most interactive audience available to me.
ANYWAY, Ain’t It Cool News has a video interview with Patton where he discusses his process for writing music. It’s actually really interesting stuff, even if it is, ultimately, basically just a commercial. It’s not embeddable but you can – and should – check it out here.

Damn you Harry!
Wait wrong site
I’m conflicted with my desire to listen to hear Mike Patton and my complete disdain for the stupid sequel to an already stupid film.
Crank fuckin rules.
crank was good fun, nothing to be taken seriously
You cant really take crank seriously, its just pure fun. Patton is the man though and he’ll obviously make an interesting score, looking foward to the new fantomas too whenever that comes about.
This soundtrack is perhaps the best soundtrack I’ve ever heard.
This video is awesome. I just wish it was more involved. I’m really into Patton as well as film score.
As far as the movie, I may wait until it comes out on video, but I do love all the Transporters as well as the first Crank. I’m sure I’ll love the movie and the fact that Mike Patton is scoring it will just make it that much better.
I hate Mike Patton.
Mike Patton doesn’t hate Mike Patton…he’s thinks he’s pretty cool.
Mike thinks Mike is VERY cool, not just “pretty cool.”
