HEY THERE! THE NEW CHUCK MOSLEY SONG ISN’T HALF BAD!

Former Faith No More (or “Faith No More,” as it’s mysteriously written on his website) vocalist Chuck Mosley is offering a new song, “Tractor,” for free download. And while I expected it to suck big hairy hippo nuts, it’s actually pretty decent.
I mean, don’t get me wrong. This is not a Faith No More song. But it’s kinda catchy, the guitar solo is really simple but I dig, and Mosley’s voice seems to have aged pretty well – he doesn’t sound like he has a cold the way he did back in the We Care a Lot/Introduce Yourself days. I would definitely give the rest of his album a listen based on this song.
Mosley’s new solo album, Will Rap Over Hard Rock For Food, is available now. Apparently it features the third re-recording of “We Care a Lot,” with updated lyrics. And while the very thought of such a re-recording irritates the shit outta me, FNM keyboardist Roddy Bottum plays on the track, so I guess I kinda-sorta don’t have any right to complain.
Download the song here, then come back and let us know what you think.

“Former Faith No More (or “Faith No More,” as it’s mysteriously written on his website)…”
Faith No More versus “Faith No More” — I don’t get it. When did quotation marks get mysterious?
Anyway, cool.
The mysterious part is that it sounds like he’s still the vocalist.
It still definitely sounds like Mosley. I liked those first two albums, his weird vocals notwithstanding. I did think the Patton remake of As The Worm Turns was awesome though. Can I get a transfer, man? Ninety-five cents! Fuck you! I’ll skate to the beach, and I’ll look better getting there!
Just listened to the new version of “We Care A Lot” from his album… yeah… definitely don’t go out of your way to check that one out.
He’s still cool in a weird way.
