Faith No More to reunite/tour Europe

[betao]

and only Europe.

Josh, your day has arrived.

http://www.thetripwire.com/uncategorized/2009/02/24/faith-no-more-will-reunite-for-summer-tour/

While there was speculation abound about a possible reunion for one of the big U.S. festivals (maybe helped along a bit by our own rumor-mongering), all hope was lost when most of line-ups were announced. But what was once only a rumor is now official: Faith No More will reunite for a summer tour.

As confirmed tonight by his label and publicist, Mike Patton has announced that Faith No More will be reuniting for a European summer tour. While no other info has been given, we’ve been told that the tour will only take place in Europe, the dates are “to come” and there are absolutely no plans to tour the States. We’ve also been informed that Patton — as presumed — will not be doing interviews about the subject. So start booking your time now with Imperial Teen to try and get the word from Roddy Bottom.

Faith No More’s last performing line-up consisted of Patton, Bottom, drummer Mike Bordin, bassist Billy Gould and guitarist Jon Hudson. No word yet if iconic “Epic” guitar-soloist (and primary guitar player for most of the band’s existence) Jim Martin, or original singer Chuck Mosely will be involed.

hmmm.

[Cherita Chen]

yayyy more rap rock

[JSam67]

I can't believe they're totally skipping the U.S. I'm proud to be an American today.

[captncrzy]

Somebody "in the know" told me FNM was reuniting...and playing Coachella. Guess they were right and wrong at the same time.

[Psicosis]

Suddenly having Patton play Fantomas The Director's Cut in your country doesn't cut it anymore...

Somebody "in the know" told me FNM was reuniting...and playing Coachella. Guess they were right and wrong at the same time.

Isn't it still possbile at this point then? Maybe that is the main stage gap on Saturday.

[4Ransom]

yayyy more rap rock

rap rock? you are retarded.


and FNM are assholes for not touring here.

[luckyface]

rap rock? you are retarded.

Based on the posts this person has made, yes he is.

[obzen]

yayyy more rap rock
:nono
shut.up.

[obzen]

Somebody "in the know" told me FNM was reuniting...and playing Coachella. Guess they were right and wrong at the same time.

please,probability-matrix god-let this be true!!!

[4Ransom]

man, this is both great news and horrible news at the same time. i dont know whether to be happy or sad. that reminds me of a joke i heard recently:


A husband and wife were sitting watching a TV program about psychology when he turned to his wife and said, "Honey, I bet you can't tell me something that will make me happy and sad at the same time."

She said, "You have the biggest penis of all your friends."

[obzen]

Somebody "in the know" told me FNM was reuniting...and playing Coachella. Guess they were right and wrong at the same time.

:rolleyes

[rage patton]

Well. Looks like I am going to Europe this summer. When Mike Patton says they will only be touring Europe, I believe him. I really hope its a late summer tour...

EDIT: I hope its in July. Madness have a bunch of tour dates in July, including one with The Specials. Yup. I would pretty much die.

[wmgaretjax]

Glastonbury?

[obzen]

Download.

[betao]

Download seems like a good call.

[rage patton]

Glastonbury?

Oh god I hope so.

Wait... shit. Glastonbury is sold out.

Download.

Dear sweet Christ I hope not. They probably are going to play download... but I sure hope their tour extends much longer than that.

[obzen]

http://mccormicky.com/tiresome/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/homer-doh.jpg

truest fuckin story told

[rage patton]

Wait... what ATP summer events are happening?

[captncrzy]

Rage, I wouldn't believe the "just Europe" thing. Not when they see how much money can be made.

[PassiveTheory]

But Josh is in his early 20s, and this is the time to travel around the world and experience new shit anyway. I can only hope a certain Manchester foursome reunite overseas and give me enough of a reason to travel around Europe by myself for once...

[sin213]

this is good and bad news at the same time. why would they reunite and only tour europe. ???

plus, I have myself completely out of vacay time thru Sept 1st...so this better happen late, late, late summer....otherwise i'll have to quit my job just to go see this.

[frozen pilgrim]

yeah josh, go for it man!
although I wouldn't be surprised at a coachella add- it said they weren't "touring" outside europe. one or two festival performances can hardly qualify as a 'tour'

[PotVsKtl]

Mike Patton is a dick. He would do this just to piss off US fans.

[sin213]

and only Europe.

Josh, your day has arrived.

http://www.thetripwire.com/uncategorized/2009/02/24/faith-no-more-will-reunite-for-summer-tour/



hmmm.


Did you see the related news too?!?! WOW :eek:

"In an interview on Massive Attack’s official website, www.massiveattack.co.uk, band member Robert “3-D” Del Naja disclosed that he and ex-Faith No More frontman Mike Patton are looking to possibly start a new band together. He said, “I’ve been having ongoing e-mail conversations with PattonÖwe keep talking about sending each other tracks and setting up something abstract. It could turn out to be a good cross-pollination of ideas; we’ll see how it goes!” Let’s hope it goes real damn well."

[obzen]

i saw Adam Jones and Danny Carrey w/Mike Patton while attending a Lakers game at the Staples Center
-maybe they were giving Patton some pointers on how the Coachella Main Stage differs from others :afu

[sin213]

yeah, there was a pic of them together on Toolarmy. I can't get to it at work though. damn intranet blocking sites....

[sin213]

http://blurt.publr.net/mP2W6zC3iDK3_m.jpg

[rage patton]

I still can't believe this.

[rage patton]

Mike Patton is a dick. He would do this just to piss off US fans.

Exactly. This is what I am afraid of.

yeah josh, go for it man!
although I wouldn't be surprised at a coachella add- it said they weren't "touring" outside europe. one or two festival performances can hardly qualify as a 'tour'

I really, really want to. If they play download, like they have been speculated to (from beyond the boards here, I heard an interview with the organizer who said they were in talks with Faith No More), then they will probably tour in June. If they only have tour dates in June, I can't go. I am REALLY hoping for some UK dates mid-July. That way I can also swing Madstock and see Madness and The Specials.

I live on the wrong fucking continent.

[stinkbutt]

No Jim=kinda lame

also Pot is probably right Patton is an ego maniacal dickhead

[rage patton]

Where does it say no Jim?

[stinkbutt]

right in the article

[rage patton]

No word yet if iconic “Epic” guitar-soloist (and primary guitar player for most of the band’s existence) Jim Martin, or original singer Chuck Mosely will be involed.

Obviously you need reading comprehension skills.

Also, I find it funny they even mentioned Chuck Mosely,

[stinkbutt]

I read that wrong I don't know why they would even mention Chuck but I can almost guaranty Jim isn't going to be there

[rage patton]

If Jim isn't there, I would be slightly less inclined to go. I know Jim's pumpkin farm is keeping him busy now a days... but I figurethey could coax him out of him farming lifestyle for a few months of touring.

[sin213]

i'd go even without jim playing guitar.

[sin213]

i just don't see this happening for me though. unless the tour extends beyond sept, i would have either quit my job or cancel my roo plans to even THINK about going to europe. even then, it would be rough financially and timing-wise...

[Jon Blazed]

FUCKING KILLING ME

[rage patton]

I, now regretably, just bought my Bonnaroo airfare two days ago. Furthermore, I choose not to buy flight insurance, because I never thought anything like this would happen.

So now my options are, skip Coachella and go to Europe, suffer the rebooking fee of my flight, sell my Bonnaroo tickets and go to Europe... or go completely broke trying to do Coachella, Bonnaroo and Europe.

It will most likely be option C. Or just not go to Europe at all... but I hope I can make it happen.

[sin213]

yeah, my only option would be to cancel roo plans...even then....it'd cost so much more that i still don't think i could do it. cause if i were to go to europe for a show or two, i'd have to stay and do some travelling.

[rage patton]

Thats what I am thinking too... I won't just go over for a show or two. I would wanna make a 2 week trip out of it or something.

[greghead]

Do it, Josh. Skip roo and go to Europe

[rage patton]

As I said, I bought my flight tickets two days ago and choose not to add flight insurance. I can rebook my flight... but its a $180 rebooking fee.

[greghead]

ooh, that stings, but still . . .

a two week trip to Europe > Bonnaroo
a two week trip to Europe to see Faith No More >>>>>>>>>>> everything

[rage patton]

If the tour is in July... I will be able to see Madness and The Specials as well.

[woogie846]

If FNM came to California, I'd be there.

[greghead]

If the tour is in July... I will be able to see Madness and The Specials as well.

:: drooling over the prospect ::

If it's in July, I'd say it's pretty cut and dry of what you should do

[paulb]

Hey Josh, join option C like me...... do all 3 festivals and be broke...

[obzen]

if Jim Martin is in thats hella-dope

that said-a Faith No More reunion is a Faith No More reunion-with or without Jim
(i cant believe its happening)

[greghead]

Hey Josh, join option C like me...... do all 3 festivals and be broke...

btw, thanks for the Beasties link in your sig; great set

[paulb]

btw, thanks for the Beasties link in your sig; great set

Your welcome, Im glad someone appreciated it....such a great set.

[MarkO]

........ that said-a Faith No More reunion is a Faith No More reunion-with or without Jim
(i cant believe its happening)

Negative.

No Big Sick Jim Martin = No FNM.

[rage patton]

I am going to be in agony until these tour dates are anounced.

[sin213]

i hear ya....i've been thinking about FNM reunion more than coachella and bonnaroo now...

[obzen]

Negative.

No Big Sick Jim Martin = No FNM.

youre entitled to your opinion-but Angel Dust was practically done without Jim Martin-if he wants to continue being a homophobe,thats on him-people the world over are still lining up around the block to see Faith No More

...with or without Jim Martin

[obzen]

i hear ya....i've been thinking about FNM reunion more than coachella and bonnaroo now...

me too,only im hoping for a one-off in Indio this spring...

[Down Rodeo]

Those assholes...why would they tour Europe and not the US? Something better change.

[scoop49er]

I am going to be in agony until these tour dates are anounced.


ragepatton: this is the big rumor so call it bullshit if you want but dont be surprsied my fellow fnm fanatic friend!

april: warm up show in san francisco!

april: add-on to coachella!

[Down Rodeo]

I would shit my pants.

[scoop49er]

i must see this! i cant go to europe and if it goes down, i will also shit my pants...

i got the info from security people who have worked the fillmore for years.... the coachella rumor has been floating around the s.f. one came about this morning so im on it...

[paulb]

hopefully...

[sin213]

agreed. much shitting of the pants would ensue....

[scoop49er]

if the s.f. date happens and they get added to coachella. it looks like april 15th warfield is the best bet

[paulb]

Warfield is an awesome venue.... hopefully.

[sin213]

ragepatton: this is the big rumor so call it bullshit if you want but dont be surprsied my fellow fnm fanatic friend!

april: warm up show in san francisco!

april: add-on to coachella!

so would this mean their Europe tour would start in May? That would make it pretty much impossible for me to make it to Europe...i was really hoping for a late summer tour...like, start in July/Aug...

guess I'll just have to hold out hope they'll be added to coachella and/or will announce a US tour at a later date.

FAITH NO MORE Officially Confirms Reunion Plans; Band Lineup Revealed - Feb. 25, 2009
FAITH NO MORE bassist Bill Gould has released the following statement to BLABBERMOUTH.NET:

"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 17 years 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 kick-ass 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 knows where this will end or what it will bring up... only the future knows. But we are about to find out!"

FAITH NO MORE 2009 is:

Mike Bordin - Drums
Roddy Bottum - Keyboards
Bill Gould - Bass
Jon Hudson - Guitar
Mike Patton - Vocals

Patton's publicist told MTV News that FAITH NO MORE was playing in Europe only, with no North American dates scheduled.

The exact dates and countries have yet to be confirmed.

Although it was rumored that FAITH NO MORE would headline California's Coachella festival in mid-April, only Patton is performing at the event.

As previously reported, a source close to guitarist Jim Martin, who was in FAITH NO MORE from 1983 until 1993, told BLABBERMOUTH.NET that the axeman expressed interest in taking part in the reunion after being recently contacted by keyboardist Roddy Bottum and a member of FAITH NO MORE's management team, but that the band ultimately decided to utilize Hudson for the upcoming dates.

Martin left FAITH NO MORE in 1993 due to "internal conflicts" and was replaced by FNM singer Mike Patton's MR. BUNGLE bandmate Trey Spruance. Trey also exited soon after recording 1995's "King for a Day... Fool for a Lifetime", just before the band was to begin a world tour. Spruance was replaced by Dean Menta, the band's guitar roadie. FAITH NO MORE's final studio CD, "Album of the Year", was released in 1997 and featured yet another new guitarist, Jon Hudson, who was a former roommate of Billy Gould.

[sin213]

cool. now we just need some US tour news...or a coachella add...despite what they've been saying.

[obzen]

IM GOING FUCKIN' CRAZY!!!

[4Ransom]

Paul T. better be on top of this like flies on shit! FNM could make this year epic!

[sin213]

with no talk of US tour dates or Coachella, are you feeling a bit.....HELPLESS??

[faxman75]

Exactly we a quote from someone in the band a month ago or so denying all the europe rumors too so never believe what they say. It's all about the art of surprise anyway.

[sin213]

Paul T. better be on top of this like flies on shit! FNM could make this year epic!

could make this year....EPIC?

I read the first half of this title and filled with joy, then finished reading it and now I'm slightly depressed.

Thanks a lot europe.

[MarkO]

youre entitled to your opinion-but Angel Dust was practically done without Jim Martin-if he wants to continue being a homophobe,thats on him-people the world over are still lining up around the block to see Faith No More

...with or without Jim Martin


Yet he toured Angeldust .............. strange that the album he toured was done "practically without him".

Besides, I've seen them twice.

Oh. Shit. I am moving to SF in four weeks. If this turns out to be true, you can count on me being front & center

[obzen]

^^so.what.:lool
Angel Dust was in 92-Jim was gone by 93...
whats your point??

you know the story behind producing Faith No Mores finest LP dont you???
:nono

[rage patton]

I am taking an exam April 15. I will die if they play San Fran before Coachella. With that being said... I am heading to San Fran after Coachella... so hopefully they play a show then.

With THAT being said, Im not gonna believe a single rumour until it pans out.

[obzen]

believe

[rage patton]

Also, this

As previously reported, a source close to guitarist Jim Martin, who was in FAITH NO MORE from 1983 until 1993, told BLABBERMOUTH.NET that the axeman expressed interest in taking part in the reunion after being recently contacted by keyboardist Roddy Bottum and a member of FAITH NO MORE's management team, but that the band ultimately decided to utilize Hudson for the upcoming dates.


bothers me greatly. I am extremely frusterated by this. By "the band", I KNOW they mean Mike Patton.

Seriously, if Jim Martin was part of this... NOTHING would stop me from seeing this FNM reunion.

[JSam67]

So are you leaning toward Roo then, Josh?

[rage patton]

I am really not sure. I am most likely going to go to Bonnaroo. But if FNM actually end up ONLY playing Europe, I might kill myself.

[sin213]

But if FNM actually end up ONLY playing Europe, I might kill myself.

ditto

[meyouseek]

What size venues would FNM play if they did tour the US?

I got Body Count instead of FNM at the Metallica/G-n-R show in San Diego, so the biggest place I ever saw the guys was at the Palladium in Hollywood.

[sin213]

people are speculating the warfield, if the san fran warm up show is true. that venue is about 2500.

if they came to phx, i bet they'd play dodge theatre or mesa amp. both about 5000 capacity.

[rage patton]

So Faith No More are apparently playing Hurricane Festival. It is not on their site yet, but it was anounced through a newsletter or something.

Anyways, its June 19-21 and here are some of the other confirmed acts as of right now...

Die Ärzte · Ben Harper and Relentless7 · Blood Red Shoes · Clueso · Culcha Candela · Dendemann · Disturbed · Editors · Eskimo Joe · Fettes Brot · Franz Ferdinand · Get Well Soon · Gogol Bordello · Johnossi · Karamelo Santo · Katy Perry · Kings Of Leon · Kraftwerk · Moby · Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds · Nneka · SKA-P · The Asteroids Galaxy Tour · The Gaslight Anthem · The Sounds · The Ting Tings · The Whip · The Wombats · Tomte ·

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

fuck Kraftwerk are really touring their asses off.

[rage patton]

Also, The Mars Volta were anounced along side of FNM.

According to last.fm, these are all the confirmed artists for Hurricane...

Franz Ferdinand, Moby, Kings of Leon, Disturbed, Editors, The Mars Volta, Ben Harper, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Faith No More, The Ting Tings, Katy Perry, Kraftwerk, Fleet Foxes, The Sounds, Die Ärzte, Gogol Bordello, Eagles of Death Metal, Social Distortion, The Wombats, No Use for a Name, Ska-P, Lykke Li, Fettes Brot, Blood Red Shoes, The Living End, The Whip, Clueso, Ladyhawke, Friendly Fires, Culcha Candela, Johnossi, Tomte, Portugal. The Man, Eskimo Joe, Dendemann, Get Well Soon, Nneka, The Gaslight Anthem, Frank Turner, Karamelo Santo, The Asteroids Galaxy Tour and Sky Larkin

[JSam67]

Disturbed AND Katy Perry? Too good to be true.

[rage patton]

Amy Winehouse, The Killers AND TRV$DJ-AM? Coachella 2009 really IS too good to be true.

The logic works the same way.

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

Amy Winehouse, The Killers AND TRV$DJ-AM? Coachella 2009 really IS too good to be true.

The logic works the same way.

Ugh.....additions are coming....

[rage patton]

From the Rolling Stone... (http://www.rollingstone.com/rockdaily/index.php/2009/02/27/after-faith-no-more-is-there-hope-for-other-long-shot-reunions/)

While the band has no plans to tour the U.S., one industry insider suspects that, if the European trek goes well, “the right offer” will be the only thing standing between Faith No More and a full American run.

This is killing me.

Also...

For nearly 10 years, Faith No More fans have mourned the demise of one of the most influential and under-appreciated rock acts of the 1990s — all with the firm understanding that there would be no return.

This made me happy.

[scoop49er]

latest on the rumor mill:

Korn is looking to possibly bring back their family values tour and wants to co-headline it with faith no more. they are putting a offer together now.. i dont think it wil happen but its a flashback type of tour

here is the proposed lineup:
KORN
FAITH NO MORE OR LIMP BIZKIT
SERJ TANKIAN
ICE CUBE OR CYPRESS HILL
STATIC-X
SALIVA

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

i would be outrageously pissed if the only possible way to see Faith No More ended up being going to one of those show UGH

[sin213]

^ lol...agreed



but i'd be there. cypress or cube would be cool....booooo to the others though.

[paulb]

oh fuck you Jason....


Faith No More are confirmed for the Download festival in the UK... They will def make their way here...

[rage patton]

So, Faith No More are officially out for Coachella.

http://www.downloadfestival.co.uk

This is confirmed to be their first show back.

*sigh*

[Cherita Chen]

there there buddy, it'll happen when it's meant to happen

[rage patton]

there there buddy, it'll happen when it's meant to happen

:) Thank you. This actually made me feel a lot better.

[Cherita Chen]

It's simple but it's so true. I get to finally see the cure at Coachella, I got to finally see Beck last year. You'll see this band, just maybe not this summer (or whenever this tour starts). Do you really think they're gunna do Europe and not come to North America at all?

[sin213]

oh fuck you Jason....


Faith No More are confirmed for the Download festival in the UK... They will def make their way here...


lol :lool

sorry paul. i'm a purist.

korn has gone to shit since head split and even take a look in the mirror dipped in the level of quality compared to the albums that preceed it, which were amazing albums

limp bizkit hasn't been anything since significant other with choc starfish being one of thier worst ever releases, which no doubt helped wes with the decision to split,

static x lost their mojo after machine,

serj is good with soad but solo is painful,

and saliva...i mean, really?... :nono

[sin213]

and i do think faith no more will make their way to the us. there will be a shit ton of money offered for something. even if it's just one show somewhere...which i'll be at.

[JSam67]

It's simple but it's so true. I get to finally see the cure at Coachella, I got to finally see Beck last year. You'll see this band, just maybe not this summer (or whenever this tour starts).

This is true for me also. Obviously with The Cure this year, Radiohead at Lolla last year and Beck in Chicago... I say this all the time, and more often than not, I find I do get that chance. So will you, rage, just not at Coachella this year. Maybe next year, similar to how MBV ended up.

[rage patton]

Actually, I am betting on APW this year. If not, Coachella next year for sure.

[stinkbutt]

FNM is not doing touring the states I will bet money being the biggest Patton fan here

[rage patton]

You waiting to see full tour dates before you decide which show to go to then Stinkbutt?

[stinkbutt]

Pretty much I was hoping they'd do a show in May since I'll already be in Europe but looks like I may be going over seas twice this summer which would mean no roo, lolla, or APW
depending

[rage patton]

I am personally hoping for UK dates in mid July.

But you really think they won't even do a one-off in the States?

[stinkbutt]

I wouldn't hold my breath. Patton is such an egomaniac and seems like he is past FNM that I think he just needs a paycheck to further his "more advanced" projects.

[rage patton]

I know what you mean. At the same time, Patton is also a business man... and this is a brilliant marketing move. By telling everyone that FNM are only going to tour Europe, it will make US concert and festival promoters offer higher amounts of cash and, if they choose play NA festivals, it will probably get them higher billing as well.

I wouldnt doubt it if they end up only touring Europe. However, I get the feeling this is business move on Patton's side and they will play at least one or two NA shows. A Euro trip is still in my sights though...

[msklvr]

I am naked in front of the computer.

[Cherita Chen]

Prove it?

[msklvr]

I don't think this is the appropriate thread for that kind of thing.

[rage patton]

From another FNM thread...

From Billy Gould's (FNM bassist) Twitter

"By the way, US shows are not out of the question."

WOOOO!!

http://twitter.com/MRGOULD

Holy fuck. I am about to have a heart attack. I can't breathe.

EDIT: Also, posted one hour ago...

Bass gear goes into rehearsal room tomorrow am, and we officially get started. Playing old songs for the first time in 10 years! Crazy shit.

I am so emotional I could cry right now. I want to fly down to San Fran and watch their rehersals.

[sin213]

THIS IS GREAT FUCKING NEWS!!!!!!

[sin213]

pfFgEN5ue_M

[sin213]

i'd say this kills pretty much all hope that they will be at coachella...this year, at least....

from Billy Gould's twitter:
"First rehearsal was good! Much better than expected. By the end of May we should be completely dialed in."

[paulb]

2 1/2 full months of rehearsing....you should hope they will be all dialed in.

[obzen]

lol :lool

sorry paul. i'm a purist.

korn has gone to shit since head split and even take a look in the mirror dipped in the level of quality compared to the albums that preceed it, which were amazing albums

im sorry,
but KoRns only decent shit were the first two LPs-after i heard them on kroq in 98-i thought to myself,its all over now-after Follow The Leader and the subsequent appearence of limp bizit/slipknot/papa roach/linkin park and staind-it all got retarded,fast.



i think if Faith No More do tour in the US it should be with innovative bands that feature vocalists from the school of Patton

imagine this:
Tool
Faith No More
Deftones
System of a Down
w/special guests Meshuggah


-id fuckin kill for a bill like this!!

[sin213]

hells yeah!! that would be one of the best shows ever...

[nicolelmt]

I hope FNM does tour the US and performs here in CO at the Red Rocks Amphitheater. I would die happy. I highly doubt I could make a trip to Europe this summer. Please Patton, don't be such an ass! I know you hate America, but do you hate your fans too?

adam jones, mike patton, daney carey (for those that don't know.. :nono lol)

[rage patton]

Wow, Adam Jones looks fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucked.

[sin213]

hahaha, yeah, he always has those dark circles under his eys and rarely smiles. he's a genius though...that shit fucks with your mind! lol...

[rage patton]

SEATTLE MOTHERFUCKERS!

@SEABRONSON ALL of it, hells yes: Portugal, Israel, Brazil, Sweden, Finland, Seattle... we love ALL you fuckers!

[sin213]

i hate those europe muthafuckas right now...getting FNM's first reunion show at download...fuckers.

FNM better come to the US. Europe is out of the question at this point for me...

you think Seattle will be a warmup gig, rage? or the first US date of an epic tour?

[rage patton]

Well, a lot of people actually think that was just Roddy Bottum sending a shout out to some countries/city and not actual planned gigs. But from what I can tell, all those other countries he mentioned, either him or Billy Gould had previously anounced there would be tour dates there... except for Isreal and Seattle. I don't know why he would throw them into the bunch if they weren't planning tour dates.

Billy Gould also said there will almost certainly be warm up gigs before their show at Download. Im thinking they might do a warm up gig in San Fran and Seattle before heading to Europe.

[sin213]

hopefully they'll actually announce the warm up gigs, instead up just showing up at some venue, some night, under an alias or something...

[faxman75]

The novarock festival they are playing looks scary.

http://www.novarock.at/index.php?novalineup

Gogol
Slipknot
Metallica
FNM
Limp Bizkit
NIN
Placebo
Disturbed
Chris Cornell
Monster Magnet
Staind


Oh my.....

[sin213]

not too shabby. drop slipknot, metallica, limp bizkit, placebo, chris cornell, monster magnet and staind from that list and it'd be a killer lineup!

[bmack86]

So you'll drop Metallica and Monster Magnet but leave Disturbed and Staind.

Wow.

[sin213]

i missed disturbed...yes drop them. staind is in the list to drop...

[sonofhal]

Faith No More are coming to London on 10th June(Brixton Academy). I may well pop along.

[rage patton]

I heard about this yesterday. It has been a dream of mine to see them at Brixton Academy. *Sigh*

[sin213]

that would be a great place to see them. hopefully some US news soon??

[sonofhal]

Got my Brixton tickets today. Only just over 4 weeks away. Should be good.

[sin213]

i hope there are tapers present at every single one of FNMs shows...and that they share em.

[MarkO]

Got my Brixton tickets today. Only just over 4 weeks away. Should be good.

Nice one. And you're hitting up Primavera again iirc.

<-- jealous.

[faxman75]

New album coming soon?

http://consequenceofsound.net/2009/05/07/a-new-faith-no-more-studio-album-on-the-horizon/

[Aurgasm]

Anyone gonna see these guys with me at Roskilde? am I the only boardie going there?

[sin213]

rage_patton was going too, i thought...

[sin213]

actually, i think he was doing rockensienne...nvrmind.

[Aurgasm]

actually, i think he was doing rockensienne...nvrmind.

good, i dont want that dude blocking my view! lol jk

i think im the only boardie who's ever been to Roskilde. been trying to drum up support, but no dice.

Honestly, I'm just now going through the FNM discography; i really have no idea what to expect from their live shows. Anyone here seen them?

[MarkO]

.......

Yes, twice.

Excellent live. Lots of energy and crowd interaction.

[sin213]

if i were to make it to europe, roskilde would be one of the fests that i'd want to hit the most. not gonna happen this year, though.

[rage patton]

Got my Brixton tickets today. Only just over 4 weeks away. Should be good.

I can't wait to hear what you thought of the show. Are you a big FNM fan? Casual? Or going just out of curiosity?

New album coming soon?

http://consequenceofsound.net/2009/05/07/a-new-faith-no-more-studio-album-on-the-horizon/

I highly doubt the new album rumours. I would not count on it. However, that FNM Best Of/B-sides album news is awesome!

wmgaretjax went to Roskilde 07 I believe.

Also, I just typed a huge thing about what FNM abums to listen to and in what order... but I deleted it all by accident so I will give you the brief synopsis. Start with either The Real Thing or Angel Dust. Their crowning achievement is Angel Dust, its their masterpiece. However, The Real Thing is much more accessible and may be a better place to start. Both are incredible albums though.

actually, i think he was doing rockensienne...nvrmind.

You would be correct. Rock en Seine it is. :)

Also.... their is a video of rehersal footage on www.fnm.com

It is incredibly infuriating and frusterating... but I don't know how I could have expected anything else, considering this was comming from Mike Patton.

that was fuckin high-larious!!!! :rotfl

and just like you said...how could you expect anything else, considering this was coming from Mike Patton.

:lool

[rage patton]

So I was told by Chris, sonofhal, that FNM were "damn loud" and that "Patton was on form." I am excited by this.

Here was the first night in Brixton setlist.

Reunited (Peaches & Herb cover)
The Real Thing
From Out of Nowhere
Land of Sunshine
Caffeine
Evidence
As the Worm Turns
R N’R
Surprise! You’re Dead!
Easy
Last Cup of Sorrow

Cuckoo for Caca
The Gentle Art of Making Enemies
RV
King for a Day
Malpractice
Jizzlobber
Greenfield
Be Aggressive
Epic
Stripsearch
Just a Man
I Started a Joke
Pristina

So far, I have only read positive reviews and the all the live videos I have seen are killer. I can't believe I actually get to see them in just a few months!

EDIT: I just found some more of their setlists, and they seem to be changing it up every night. Awesome.

[DocWalk]

Will be seeing them at pukkelpop, very stoked.

Im hoping I can do this...

Grizzly Bear --> Zero 7 --> My Bloody Valentine --> Faith No More

[sonofhal]

As well as being added to the Reading/Leeds Festival lineup, it looks like there may be some more UK dates around then.

They hit Edinburgh on 25th Aug.

[stinkbutt]

No Zombie Eaters? I'm kinda glad I'm not going overseas for this

[sin213]

i'm soooo jealous of anyone that gets to see them in Europe. Josh, make sure to get lots of vids when you see em. Hopefully we'll see a bootleg pop up soon.

and hopefully some US news soon???

[sin213]

Damn. With the addition of dates, it looks like a second FNM show will be impossible to fit into my schedule. In August they are almost playing a show every single day and they are hoping all over the place in no logical order. I hope they aren't too tired by the time I get to see them.

However, the date in Chile on October 30th is promising. Perhaps a full South American tour is in the works. I am not counting on a full NA tour, but maybe a show in SF is possible.

What? Dammit I'd love to go to this but I'm gonna be in Vegas that weekend

[rage patton]

Skip Vegas.

Also, Im sure Zombie Eaters will show up eventually. Same with Edge of the World.

[4Ransom]

so i got the video from the download festival and finally watched it. man oh man...only 2 things come to mind:

1)Why couldnt that have been coachella?

2)They better fucking come to the states!

[meyouseek]

I'm 30 minutes in right now. Fucking awesome. As if I'd say anything else with my avatar.

Anyway. Question. Would these shows have happened if Patton had lost his hair?

Goddamn I'd be so gay for that sonofabitch. C'mon rage, I know you're with me.

Ok, so I make a not so triumphant return to the board and I'm drunk. Way to miss me, losers.

Wish I had some cash this summer to catch FNM in Europe. Much respect to those who make it out. I think I read something about ragepatton on the other side of the pond. Way to fukkin go.

[meyouseek]

Ok, so the avatar comment doesn't make as much sense now that I've changed it. Or does it?

Extra points and a prize for the first one who figures it out

[stinkbutt]

Skip Vegas.

I would but I already have tickets and all my best friends are going along with my parents that weekend which I wouldn't miss for the world

[rage patton]

I would but I already have tickets and all my best friends are going along with my parents that weekend which I wouldn't miss for the world

I can understand that. If it makes you feel better, Billy Gould said they are 100% playing a show in Brazil. So it will probably be a few days before or after the Chile date. Maybe you can make that one.

Patton is a good looking man. What else can I say.

Also yes, I am going to see them at Rock En Seine festival in France. The line up also includes Madness and The Prodigy. So I am pretty stoked.

[boarderwoozel3]

Because they're going to be at Coachella 2010 :thu

[rage patton]

I think there is a pretty damn good chance FNM will be at Coachella 2010.

But Im not taking any chances.

[MarkO]

Can't figure out a direct link but looky here. Look at the poster 2nd from the left on the top row.

http://guyburwell.com/index.php?pagemode=display&active=poster&category=color#

[rage patton]

That is an awesome poster. If I was at that show, I would have bought that poster no question. That guy also did the Phish Bonnaroo poster, which sold out in a matter of minutes.

Just looking at setlists, they haven't played "From Out Of Nowhere" that last 2 shows in a row. I do not like that.

[sin213]

here is a faith no more poster that adam jones did up for them:

I have two Guy Burwell prints for the last two MMJ shows here. They really are nice and he's an interesting artist for sure.

[meyouseek]

Also yes, I am going to see them at Rock En Seine festival in France. The line up also includes Madness and The Prodigy. So I am pretty stoked.

Nice, got yourself FNM plus a Coachella cancellation and unfulfilled Coachella rumor. The trifecta!

i'm sooooo jealous of you. i HAVE to see them before they disband again.

[Down Rodeo]

Too bad no War Pigs in that setlist. Oh well, that still sounds like an amazing show. I'm jealous, Rage.

[obzen]

The Gentle Art of Making Enemies

Win.

[MarkO]

Looks like YT has the entire show that faxman posted vids from.

Excellent, excellent, excellent. Brings back a lot of good memories. Just wish Big sick Jim Martin was aboard.

FNM must play Coachella next year.

[rage patton]

They didn't play it at a single show. In fact, I believe the only songs off of The Real Thing that got played this tour was Epic, From Out Of Nowhere, Surprise! You're Dead!, The Real Thing and Zombie Eaters. The Real Thing was only played a couple times, and Zombie Eaters only ONCE. Its a shame, and I have no idea why they have been criminaly ignoring the album. Luckily they have been playing a decent amount off of Angel Dust. Even better, towards the end of they tour they started adding back in Malpractice and Midnight Cowboy. My only request would be less KFAD,FFAL and more Real Thing.

Excellent, excellent, excellent. Brings back a lot of good memories. Just wish Big sick Jim Martin was aboard.

FNM must play Coachella next year.

Jim Martin would have been amazing. I think I read an interview with Billy Gould where he said they were in talks with him... but the band ultimately settled on Jon Hudson. Unfortunate. He is a great guitarist... but he is boring to watch. Big Jim Martin would have been sick.

As for Coachella, I would say there is a pretty good chance. Especially with the Australian leg of the tour ending on March 1.

Also, I just re-looked at the Brixton setlist and noticed they got Jizzlober. Lucky fuckers.

[rage patton]

Oh, and just for fun...

TBH, Big Jim didn't run around the stage much either. :)

I wish I could find a setlist for the last time I saw them. Not a sniff of it online that I could find.
