Here Today... Gone To Hell!

I heard Faith No More will be getting back together and releasing a new album...

Any one heard anything about this?

werent they separated and and angry with each other??
Anyway, it would be cool to see them record a new album!












Baby Slash//

Where did you hear this from...

That would be amazing - they are one of my all time favourite bands.
Where did you hear this?

If this is true, I wish they could pick that original guitarist... That guy is awesome!

You mean Jim Martin?

Yeah, a Faith No More album without him on it would suck...And it did.

Seriously, either give us a source or somebody lock this piece of shit.

I can't remember, nowhere too reliable i'm guessing, sorry.

I was hoping somebody would know more...

Not true - this stems from  a rumour about Chuck Mosely Re-joining

Bastards - getting all my hopes up.....only to dash them :'(

FNM are an awesome band - The Real Thing and Angel Dust are absolute classics, shame they kinda slipped up with their final two albums.

Dammit! I was really excited and thinking about all the possibilities for a new album...oh well.

King for a Day is probably my favorite album and that was post-Martin...go figure :P

No Ofence Izzy -you slipped up for missing them - time to have a re-listen

Thanks for the respest shown for my opinions ::)

As a matter of fact i been listening to King for a day for the last few weeks and even bought a new copy of Album of the year to replace my old one this week - and my opinion hasn't improved of either - a few good songs but thats it for me.

I'd be very intrested to hear whats to like about either - while neither is 'bad' they are dangerously average in my humble opinion - some weak vocals from Mr Patton (don't u think he kinda sounds like Dave Grohl in places on King for a day - always a very bad thing?)

King for day is very experimental and all over the place - it has some real gems on  it though , the closing track "Just a man" is a stunner as are several other tracks.
As for the Album of the Year ? I rate very highly and think it's a strong cohesive album and a fitting swansong for a criminally under-rated, overlooked (somewhat) band.
Angel Dust remains my favourite though...

bummer.

As a matter of fact - Mr. Bungle has split up - with those being his high school friends, it is very unlikely that Faith No More will reunite with Patton.

When I last talked to Trey - he told me that certain people in the band needed to stop with the egos.  In this article it seems Patton says the same.  I suppose the rift is between Patton and Spruance.  That is a shame.

http://www.rollingstone.com/news/story/_/id/6659786/mrbungle?pageid=rs.Home&pageregion=single1&rnd=1104230082125&has-player=true&version=6.0.12.857

Faith No More have a song on the Madden 2005 video game for those who dont know

It's a travesty in both instances here....I wouldn't consider the hostile reaction Bungle got on the Sno-core 2000 tour to be an appropriate send-off for such a phenomenal band..At the very least, FNM was able to tour for their swansong....The Bungle story seems sadly incomplete....Knowing the attitudes of all involved, I would imagine any reconciliations to be out of the question...I could imagine the cynicism towards reunion shows of any kind

This is the 2nd thing that would blow me after gnr. Fnm was one of the best bands around. King for a day is a kickass album.

Anyone like this most excellent group?

I love how they combine so many styles into one, and pattons insane vocal range and change.

I love  the first 2 albums with him, havent heard the rest, but i have read it isnt with the same line up, guitarist left...which sucks cause he was awesome.

I did use the search function on these and the only thread was one of them doing a new album so i felt the title would be misleading if i brought it back up.

Also..what is there guitarist upto these days lol?

Yeah i love Angel Dust and The Real thing but the singer before Patton sucked IMO and i haven't listened to anything after Angel Dust

I heard Tomahawk's S/T album and saw them open for Tool but I didn't really care for them. and Mr.Bungle is too weird for me :nervous: But on FnM Patten's vocals fucking rule : ok:

My Favorite tunes are "From out of Nowhere" and "RV" and Small Victory. and alot more, those two albums by FnM I mentioned are ones i listen to from the beginning till the end, :beer:

they rocked. I love Epic and We Care A Lot. Keyboards are awesome.

i love we care alot live with mike. so ,much better, faster...badass.

I love the bassist, so good at slap n pop. hes like geezer butler crossed with flea from peppers.

I know this sounds funny, but it's true. I recently saw where Jim Martin, the original guitarist for FNM, grows giant gourds. Somewhere online they had a picture of him next to the scale with a squash or something the size of a volkswagon on it. He was also completely shaved & looked like a farmer dude.

anyways, here my favorite FNM song live:

http://youtube.com/watch?v=tW9cw3MohUw

lol, yeah, I heard that ol' Jim is a pumpkin farmer these days.

His solo album had a version of Surpise, You're Dead! on it.............

But no, yeah.

I do love a bit of the old Faith No More.

I assumed there was a thread on FNM but I searched and can't seem to find one. Maybe I'm not looking hard enough...

Anyway, I've only got Angel Dust (and Epic :P) but I'll probably get more of their stuff, like The Real Thing. What do people think of their later albums (King For A Day..., Album Of The Year)?


On a random note, Mike Patton turns 40 on Sunday.

I must admit. I have only heard one song that I can recall of and that's "Epic". I might of heard more. WHat are some other good songs?

I might check into them more.

Midlife Crisis is another well-known one, as is their cover Easy by The Commodores. I'm currently digging RV from Angel Dust.

falling to pieces.

in some movie soundtracks, great song, cool bass intro.

RV "pwns"

other songs i really like and aren't mentioned before are  "ashes to ashes", "what a day", "be aggressive"

basically im right in suggesting.

all you need by this band thorned rose is the real thing and angel dust albums.

btw this is one band that i'd love to reunite  :yes:

Just found this the other day:

BADASS (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CPh8yGUnWog&feature=related)

"RV" has always been a personal favorite.  Angel Dust is an exceptional album, with "Small Victory" being another standout track.  "Easy" continues to be a great cover.  Later albums are pretty solid, but Angel Dust is hard to beat, in my opinion.

A Small Victory is one of the tops, no doubt about that.

the gentle art of making enemies is probably my fave, i just love fnm, mike & his different projects.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJAX_JSe9Wk

Faith no more sound kinda cool from the few songs i've heard of theirs.Changing the subject a lil'-What do you people think of peeping tom, the band mike pattons in now?I've only heard one song and can't remember what it was called but it rocked :peace:

To me, none of Patton's post-FNM projects (Tomohawk, Peeping Tom, etc.) have matched what was musically accomplished with Faith No More.  He's one of the most powerful and diverse rock vocalists in memory, yet he's made very obscure, under-the-radar choices following FNM's break up.  Power to him, I just miss the more "mainstream" music he created with the band...

it depends, you can find some in his new bands. a good example :

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jt856_nRxQk

One of my all time favs. Angel Dust is there best, but pick up all their albums.  They are all great.

I can't find Angel Dust in stock anywhere! Just hope it's not out of print.

Nope, not out of print.   $10.99 and in stock from Amazon.com.

I searched for a FNM thread before I created mine! Why didn't I find it??!!

If it weren't for Chinese Democracy this would be the highlight of the year 2008 in music for me!

Seems it's gonna happen!! (according to kerrang)

w00000000t :beer:

holyfuck that's cool

http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/news/general_music_news/faith_no_more_not_reuniting.html

Eighties Rockers?

Well there first album was out in like the mid 80s sometime.

I heard it was just a rumour. It would be cool of they did reunite though. I was too young to.... well, have heard of them the first time around.

Its only a reunion if they have Jim also.

/jarmo

Ooh! I wonder if they'll play anwhere in the UK...

SELLOUTS!

They sold out long ago when they cut their hair.

OMG if this is true I'm so there!!!!!!

so whats this band going to do, play "Epic" for 2 straight hours?

Yep, just like Radiohead plays "Creep" for two straight hours.

\m/

rock on.


seriously.

Great news, one of my all time favourite bands. Funny how some people consider them as one hit wonders. At least in Europe they had 4 successful albums and looking the hype this reunion is getting, this tour is going to be huge. Mike Patton rules, I definitely going to check them out when they come to Finland next summer...

It was a joke..... :no:

Although it is always disappointing when a bands cuts their hair short.

You are a total sell out to your genre if you actually believe that trite!

the piano in everything's ruined is epic ;D

Just check out the guitar melody to a small victory. Ive always loved it. I first heard it many years ago played in a bar before a band came on.

Knew it was Faith from Pattons vocals.

Thats when i checked out Angel Dust. After previously only listening to The Real Thing

Like i said. I was joking, because someone said these guys sold out just because they reformed.

I think aslong as they reform and can still give a good show. Then its fine.

Selling out is being apart of bad adverts for butter or something.

But, again i will add. I do find it dissappointing when acts go from long hair, or whatever crazy cuts.

To short hair...its just a bit boring to watch. Like nu-metal bands when they start rocking, it just looks silly.

Can't say I pay a great deal of attention to people's hair while they're performing..

Depends what you look for at a live gig.

I look at how the bassist is playing wtf he is doing.

How the guitarist plays the solo.

And all the bands moves which often get me pumped up to rock more.

Hate bands that stand on the spot looking sorry for themselves.

yeah and mike is pretty captivating when he's performing live as well.  Am not a big fan of bands standing stock still a la Oasis either. they look bored - then I'll be fkn bored too.

I'd be well up for seeing FNM again - though this time, I'll try not to crack another rib...(the perils of seeing FNM in a tiny venue!)   :beer:

The great thing about mike was he was unpredictable.

the reformation of the band is an amazing news !

Official Press release:

--Begin--
FAITH NO MORE

Faith No More has always stood out as some sort of unique beast; part dog, part cat--its music almost as schizophrenic as the personalities of its members. When it all worked, it worked really well, even if the chemistry was always volatile. Throughout our 17years of existence, the mental and physical energy required to sustain this creature was considerable and relentless. Though amicable enough, when we finally split, we all followed paths seemingly destined to opposite ends of the universe.

Yet during the entire 10 years that have passed since our decision to break up we've experienced constant rumors and requests from fans and promoters alike. Nevertheless, for whatever reason, none of us kept in regular touch, much less to discuss any possibilities of getting together.

What's changed is that this year, for the first time, we've all decided to sit down together and talk about it. And what we've discovered is that time has afforded us enough distance to look back on our years together through a clearer lens and made us realize that through all the hard work, the music still sounds good, and we are beginning to appreciate the fact that we might have actually done something right.

Meanwhile we find ourselves at a moment in time with zero label obligations, still young and strong enough to deliver a kickass set, with enthusiasm to not only revisit our past but possibly add something to the present. And so with this we've decided to hold our collective breaths and jump off this cliff....
BACK, GOD FORBID, INTO THE MONKEY CAGE!!!

We can only hope that the experience of playing together again will yield results erratic and unpredictable enough to live up to the legacy of FNM.
Who know where this will end or what it will bring up...only the future knows. But we are about to find out!

FAITH NO MORE are:
Mike Bordin, Roddy Bottum, Bill Gould, Jon Hudson and Mike Patton

--End--

ahh shit its not a reunion.

Bullshit.

All your missing really is Jim Martin on guitar.

No Jim Martin?!!! fuck!!

I know. That my issue, he was a big part of making the best FNM material. His guitar style worked great with the band

KFAD and AOTY were both awesome albums without Jim Martin. I dug him too, but the band didnt suffer at all without him. Angel Dust is their best album, but not because of Martin.

Are you fucking kidding?!! Jim is all over that album the best tracks have his guitar high in the mix.

Martin was never really considered a great guitar player. And he barely wrote any material. Yeah, the guitar on Angel Dust was good. Its an amazing album. One of my all time favorites. But Martin wasnt a big time contributor to it. I do appreciate him, though, dont get me wrong.

I was talking about his writing contributions on Angel Dust,  by the way. I know he had a bigger hand in The Real Thing.

All I know is no Jim Martin no go for me.

Nah, if Jim was in, Id be  a little disappointed. Then it would feel like a cash grab reunion. The guitar work got better after he left. No doubt about it.  This coming from a HUGE FNM fan.  Its not like it really matters unless they go back in the studio. Then I definitely wouldnt want him in.

Did they say Mike Bordin is playing drums ?

Yeah I'm also a huge fan - and let's face it their best album is a Jim Martin album.

There best album is an album Jim Martin played on, but wrote none of the songs.

Thats my favorite. Then Angel Dust.

I felt some of Mike Pattons vocals were a little bit silly at times in Angel Dust which got on my nerves.

ah, I knew there'll be the same whiners than for Guns.

"it's not Guns N'Roses because Slash is not here", "it's not Depeche Mode since Alan Wilder left", "it"s not Faith No More because Jim Martin is not back"...baaah.

they can pick any guitarist they want, it's fine with me, I just want to see them back (Patton/Gould/Bordin/Bottum).

and even if Album of the year is not my fave, Hudson made a good job on it.

Theres a big fucking difference here.

GNR dont go around marketing it as a reunion.

Your getting the lineup of (Patton/Gould/Bordin/Bottum). Patton isn't an original member either or is Jon Hudson.

even Courtney Love is more of an "original" singer for FNM than Patton if you're splitting hairs! not that she lasted long by accounts.

not bothered by Jim not being with them, they still kick ass without him - live and recorded (i love album of the year).  Hope they annouce more than just Download soon  :beer:

Thats because according to the logic of Axl, GnR never broke up, so they cant reunite.  Faith No More did break up. And now, the same line-up that broke up is reuniting. So thats the difference.   It is a reunion.

Bah I'm still gonna go - just wish ol' Jim was with the band.

Had a listen to King For A Day Fool For a Lifetime recently, damn that's a great album. Hope they bust out some songs from that album at their shows, and I hope they make it back to Australia for some shows too.

I hope they'll do a new album...

I like the mellower songs on that album. Evidence, Just A Man, Take This Bottle etc. The Gentle Art Of Making Enemies is cool too. :yes:

for the Paris show : http://tinyurl.com/cexjck

I'll be there (even if offspring sucks)

Damn you're lucky getting to see Faith No More - the odds they play Montana are slim.

unfortuneatly they are playing a stupid festival i wont attend :-\ i'd rather have them not playing in sweden then playing in sweden when i can't be there for it  :P

http://www.metalhammer.co.uk/news/faith-no-more-announce-brixton-academy-show/ (http://www.metalhammer.co.uk/news/faith-no-more-announce-brixton-academy-show/)

!!!

... And I'm going to be there !! Get in.

I can't believe I have tickets for the hultsfredsfestival when roskilde is closer and has a million times better headliners, my friends music taste sucks, wanna sell the hultsfreds ticket so much, roskilde is even located a lot closer, stupid killers and franz ferdinand

I have my ticket for Paris  :peace:

^^ cool!  Look forward to hearing your review - I didnt manage to get tickets to the London show   :crying:
I did see them years ago, but had always hoped to catch em again

Read about the new greatest hits they are releasing - the track listing ...????? Pretty crap considering the other TWO greatest hits already released, see here:

http://www.nme.com/news/faith-no-more/44578

they sound sooo good. i hope we get a new album after the tour.

the tour dates are here : http://www.fnm.com/tour-dates.shtml

They are playing the E on the Fringe festival, at the Edinburgh Corn Exchange on Aug 25th.  I think there was earlier confusion as t-shirts at the Brixton gig had the date listed as Glasgow - but its def Ed.   :peace:
I only heard about it the day before it went on sale and it took me ages to get through online..  Seems to be some tickets on ebay though...

http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=81E07C3044D3C040&page=1

Great gig - INSANELY hot.  Have only been to this venue once before and it wasnt that full or hectic a gig, but this one was like the heat of the fkn desert! The sweat was streaming off everyone and even the band said it was hotter than Peru!  Sound was pretty good in general and the crowd were mental!  Loved seeing a band I never thought i'd see again and it was a far smaller venue than I thought it would be! They fkn rocked. : ok:

Does anybody here like the last two Faith albums here besides me? I mean King for a Day gave berth to Nu-metal for fucks sake and Album of the Year had more balls than most of anything they've ever done, but don't get me wrong Angel Dust was truely amazing.

I like the 'mellower' songs on KFAD best. Evidence, Take This Bottle, Just A Man, Star AD etc. Though I do like a few of the heavier songs (Get Out, Gentle Art...) too, and I think it's an underrated album.

AOTY is good but IMO it's their weakest album overrall. Ashes To Ashes, Stripsearch, Collision and Home Sick Home are personal favourites.

I can't really choose between The Real Thing and Angel Dust as my favourite FNM album.



EDIT: I hope they come back to Edinburgh at some point! Didn't see them the other week. :crying:

AOTY was put together during the darkest point of the band. I mean the whole band was never in the room at once at any point in the recording process and half that album is some of Faith's best IMO.

As for Real Thing...I like that album alot, but it was all written without Patton...he was just a session singer more or less coming into the band, but it still makes for good music. Angel Dust to me was the first REAL Faith album...and I just love the darkness of that album.

I do hope they do a new album...and something tells me they might.

They did seem on great form with each other at the gig - lots of comedy remarks and they genuinely looked like they were having a great time.  It would be great if they decide to do another album.  I love AOTY and KFAD as well but Angel Dust is one of those albums that just stands out forever.  Patton's voice is incredible - and he can certainly carry it live still, no problem.

BlowUpYourVideo - fkn hope they come back to Edinburgh as well, really impressed they chose there over Glasgow for a change.  :beer:

I love KFOD, the guitar tones and drumming on that album is awesome, especially on the more aggressive stuff. Gentle Art of Making Enemies is still one of my favourite songs too.
I wouldn't call it Nu-Metal though, that's insulting to the band and the album.

I said it gave birth to nu-metal....never said it was nu-metal. I hate nu-metal...anyway.

apparently tickets to the NY show (first in, forever) sold out in under 5 minutes. kind of makes me really pissed off.

I need two :(

Damn that sucks, I hope they hit up Montana sometime this year. :)

I can purchase them at 3x face value right now....yikes.

I'm seeing them at the Warfield on the 14th, then leaving for Coachella the day after to see them again.  :beer:

Just announced an additional Brooklyn show, and a Philly one.

Glad I just paid a shitload for the 7/5 Brooklyn one.

Well this is a pretty old thread!  Fat Bastards are back - again!

I had the pleasure of catching FNM yet again in 2012 in London at both Hammersmith and Brixton - I cant recommend this youtube audience cam mix of Hammersmith enough  :beer: :peace: :beer::

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDrGOwgOKQc

HOWEVER - after a two year gig gap,  they're back onstage!  I went to Hyde Park on July 4th for an immense one day line-up: Soulfly, Motorhead, Faith No More, Soundgarden and Black Sabbath!!!

FNM were fantastic - first time I'd seen them outside (always previously seen them in hot sweaty venues in Scotland and London) - it was a baking hot day, big crowd and they played for just over an hour, dressed as priests  - and included 2 new songs. Fucking great to see them again!

Setlist:
1. Zombie Eaters 
2. From Out of Nowhere 
3. Epic 
4. Caffeine 
5. The Gentle Art of Making Enemies

     Had the pleasure of seeing FNM twice, once on the King for a Day tour; the second on Album of the Year; Bungle once on Disco, and Patton once with Rahzel. The best was the King show in B'more- at a small place called Hammerjack's, that I no longer know if it's still there. By this time really only true fans were seeing them and a combination of curiosity seekers and people with nothing else to do. Patton was wild- writhing around, might of done a backflip. At one point Patton made a joke about Roddy Bottum, " Hammer Jack's, this sounds like a place you like to hang out at."  and asked why we were here when the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers were at Camden Yards. I was getting crushed near the front of the stage and the audience from the balcony were throwing down ice. When I saw Bungle in Philly at the Trocadero the entire time Patton wore a gimp mask and they only did songs from Disco, then Quote Unquote, then a spot on cover of Loverboy's Working for the Weekend and then left. They played about 25 minutes and the audience was a combination of bewildered and pissed, as no one had really heard the new album.

     That they're now legendary somewhat amazes me as most bands from that era never come back as hard as they were; dated a girl in NYC who saw them in Williamsburg in about `10 and gave me her King for a Day shirt, which was surprising because when that record came out it got so-so reviews. True talent such as Faith No More comes around maybe only once in a lifetime.

shut up....i wanna see them too..

well with all the talk of new music coming next year and gigs popping up already - you just may will! Dont know where you are based - but check their website

http://www.fnm.com/tour-dates.shtml

Pretty sure someone mentioned good chance of US tour next year too  :beer:  :beer:

Listening Sol Invictus right now (yeah, blame the internet)

I am still trying to get into the new album.

Nothing will ever beat Angel Dust

I had to listen to the album at least five times to have a real opinion on it, and I gotta say that I already consider it a classic. It is exactly what you would expect fro them but new at the same time, in the way that it doesn't feel rehashed at all.

I think it also has to do with the fact that I never liked anything that Mike did outside of FNM, so listen to them all back together is a very special feeling. By the way, Blabbermouth gave a 10/10 review.  :peace:

http://www.blabbermouth.net/cdreviews/sol-invictus/
