luke-o 0 Report post Posted February 24, 2009 From NME: Faith No More are set to reform and play a European tour this year. The reformation of the band, led by Mike Patton, was confirmed by their publicist, reports Idolator.com. It is reported that the band, who initially split in 1998 with the band members pursuing other musical outlets, will play a European tour this year - with summer festival dates likely. It is thought that guitarist Jim Martin, who left the band in 1993, will not be part of the reunion. No Jim Martin is bad, but I'm well happy they're doing a tour. Although I read on another website that there are no plans for a US tour. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree with this statement, except adding Faith No More, Tomahawk, Peeping Tom, Mondo Cane, his solo work including film scores, General Patton vs the X-Ecutioners, Fantomas, and his maddening array of collaberations. Plus the stuff I'm probably forgetting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rendclaw 0 Report post Posted February 25, 2009 If you dont get it now, you never will. Even though they had been around for years before their major success with The Real Thing (We Care A Lot was a good album), everything came together for them with The Real Thing. Jim Martin's ultra-loud, ultra-heavy guitar work was the one thing that was needed to tie Roddy's keys, Billy's bass and Mike's drums together. I loved that album when it came out, and I still love it to this day. Its their masterpiece. Angel Dust was a good followup, but I don;t think anything they could have put out would have equaled TRT, it was too big, too bombastic. I started losing interest when Mike Patton decided he was going to be the poster child for ADD/ADHD and go into 5,000 side projects. I have to agree somewhat with The Mercenary; without Jim Martin, its not quite there. Almost, but not quite. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted February 25, 2009 CAPITAL! If they tour the US I'm extremely there. agree with this statement, except adding Faith No More, Tomahawk, Peeping Tom, Mondo Cane, his solo work including film scores, General Patton vs the X-Ecutioners, Fantomas, and his maddening array of collaberations. Plus the stuff I'm probably forgetting. I don't like the new Tomahawk that much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Black Lushus 0 Report post Posted February 25, 2009 I don't quite agree with Rendclaw...Angel Dust was their pinnacle, to me. Easily a 5 star album in my eyes. Patton was a little too rappy in The Real Thing for my liking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I consider it the epitome of underrated albums. But I might differ with you if "Angel Dust" isn't 1st in line. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It might just be me, but I'm not the biggest lover of that album. Real Thing and King For A Day are better albums IMO. Album of the Year is not their best effort though. Having said that, Last Cup of Sorrow is fucking incredible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"Angel Dust" is first in line, if for no other reason than because "Everything's Ruined" is their best song. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

False Alarm! 0 Report post Posted February 26, 2009 One of my favourite bands ever, and probably the only one of my favourite bands that I've never had the chance to see live. totally unexpected (until the recent rumours) because they'd said so many times that it would never happen, and because Patton's always kept himself so busy.. Great News Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Giuseppe Zangara 0 Report post Posted February 26, 2009 Not my bag these days, but Faith No More were one of my favorite bands when I was in high school. In fact, I came this close to seeing them in 1995, but they canceled due to low ticket sales. At least I got to see Mr. Bungle a couple years later. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Richard 0 Report post Posted March 3, 2009 As far as I know, the only bandmate Patton didn't get along with was Jim Martin. I'm just glad at least one re-uniting band has their old vocalist. Or in this case, their most notable vocalist. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
