Faith No More's Mike Patton Swallows Shoelace On Stage

Mike Patton is probably the only person one could possibly imagine swallowing a shoelace, and that's exactly what he did when Faith No More played Hungary's Sziget Festival on Sunday.

Patton unlaced a shoe, took the shoelace and swallowed it during "Just A Man," according to Italian music blog Musica Metal. He then kept singing while it was halfway down his throat before he spit it out and handed it to an audience member.

"I saw some eyebrows raised during my last stint, but that's my show, and now let's move on!" Patton reportedly exclaimed after the stunt, according to Blabbermouth.net.

If you're raising your eyebrows at this, here are some of Patton's other infamous and disgusting gags:

* After inviting the audience to throw garbage on stage during a Faith No More show in Lisbon, Portugal in 1992, Patton ate some of it.

* Patton once defecated into an orange juice carton, closed it and put it in the vending machine on Axl Rose's tour bus.

* Patton also once defecated on a park bench outside London, England's Kensington Palace, the former home of Princess Diana.

* Patton once removed his boot during a Faith No More show, peed in it, and then drank the contents.

* Patton peed on photographers at a Tomahawk show in London, England in 2002.

In comparison this shoelace event is positively tame.

You can watch Patton swallow the shoelace in this video (fast forward to six minutes):
