Musician/actor Corey Feldman is the featured guest on a newly released episode of Jamie Kennedy‘s ‘Hate To Break It To Ya‘ podcast. During the chat, which was posted June 26th, he spoke about an upcoming collaborative track he has featuring Limp Bizkit‘s Fred Durst and more. Durst took Feldman out on tour with Limp Bizkit in recent years and has worked on other projects with Feldman, including directing Feldman‘s music video for “The Joke“.
However, Feldman‘s chat about that upcoming new track, “Paranoia [I’m Not Trippin]“, (see below for a teaser), took a bizarre turn when Feldman stated that he originally envisioned the song with a guest spot form Faith No More, Mr. Bungle, etc. frontman Mike Patton.
Feldman went on to imply that he ultimately ruled out pursuing working with Patton over concerns of him allegedly engaging in “cult” behavior. Feldman said of that [transcribed by theprp.com]:
“Fred [Durst] and I have a new song… I put out a teaser for it. It’s sick. I’ll play it for you in the ca,r if you want. It’s really sick, dude. It’s really good. I got like this monster rock band. We have like a supergroup of like monster rockers and they’re all on, you know, they’re all playing. And I got like Robin Diaz from from Puddle Of Mudd and like actually one of Manson‘s guys, a lap pedal player, or pedal steel, sorry, player, who’s doing some stuff on it. It was just this really eclectic group… But yeah, really cool. Really badass song that I did. And I just kind of sat in on it. It was a bunch of guys that were working on a jam and they were like, ‘We need a melody.’ So I just sat down and I wrote a melody really fast. And then I was like, ‘But I hear it as like a rock-rap song, so it needs a really good rapper.’
And they were like, ‘Well, who do you think?’ And I was l going through the names and I actually thought of Mike Patton. He was the one that I wanted first, and I’m a fan of his work, but he’s a little bit tied to, you know, those things that I…”
When interrupted by Kennedy, who asked who Patton is, and if there was “smoke” around Patton, Feldman replied:
“Not smoke. Just the the stuff you’re talking about, the cult stuff. Yeah. So, it looked a little dark. So, I was like, I don’t think that’s the best marriage. But I like his work, but just not his message, maybe. So, anyway, so I thought, well, that might be a little dark. So, then I was like, ‘Who’s a great rapper that’s not going to go dark on me? Oh, I know, Fred!’
So, I called Fred and I said, ‘I got this new jam. What do you think?’ And he’s like, ‘Oh, I don’t know. Let’s uh let’s hear it.’ So, I sent it to him. He’s like, ‘Dude, that’s badass.’ I was like, ‘All right, you want to do it?’ He’s like, ‘Yeah, let’s do it.’ I was like, ‘All right.'”
While Feldman didn’t elaborate specifically on his specified “cult” concerns with Patton, not long before the above segment of the chat took place, Feldman and Kennedy spoke of satanic cults, particularly in Hollywood. Feldman went on to state he heard that those practicing Satanism among Hollywood’s dark side are, “worshipping an ancient deity named Baal.”
The pair then went deeper into conspiracy theories involving Satanism and NASA, U.S. President George Washington being portrayed as a “satanic figure” as a painting in the U.S. ‘Congress building’, and more. They also went on to state that many rock gods adopt satanic imagery for show, though some actually do partake in Satanism. However, the pair ruled out Ozzy Osbourne and others. Notably, Feldman himself in the past has faced allegations of engaging in cult-like behavior.
