Faith no more reunite

Post by Neapolitan »

http://www.fnm.com/news/
Here is the official statement:
--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
you can hang wet towels on this hard on.

I won't believe it until I see it. I really want it to be true, but I think it's prolly bullshit.

But if it's true... OMFG!!!!!!

Lets hope they make an album, as well as tour.

My FNM 'You Fat Bastards' T-shirt has just been taken out of the drawer again for the first time in about 15 years.

Wicked! These guys started me on my path of listening to good music. It all started one night when I was a kid, didn't know you weren't supposed to take sudafed before going to bed so I had nothing to amuse myself for like 4 hours except my radio.

I reckon Australia is one of the few places they WILL tour. They've always had a mega following here.

“MTV News contacted Patton’s publicist, who told us that yes, the Faith No More reunion is happening … and no, they’re not going to be playing any dates in the U.S. (sorry, Coachella fans). This is will be a strictly European affair.”

The irony of their song titles comes back to haunt them a decade later.
