Faith No More Reunion
 
I just stumbled upon this. What the hell?! This is so great. They are doing a tour too! I may actually get to see Faith No More live?! WTF? Best news of the day.

Another 90s alternative band that I have a much harder time taking seriously today but damn I loved them when they were in their hayday.

atsonicpark 05.21.2009 02:28 PM

They announced this 2 or 3 months ago. Kinda shocked no one posted about it... but then, no one posted about Six Finger Satellite reforming either!

But ... yeah, Angel Dust rules all kinds of ass.

I just stumbled on an article about it today. They are rehearsing to go on tour but so far are only touring outside of the U.S.

Derek 05.21.2009 02:32 PM

Wait, Patton is actually in on this? I didn't think he would go along with it.

Angel Dust DOES rule, I don't like any of their other records.

Is the original guitarist one of the dudes listed for the line-up in the article? God I hope so...

LifeDistortion 05.21.2009 02:36 PM

AngelDust is in my top five favorite albums of all-time. That said I've learned to appreciate "King for a Day" and "Album of the Year" even if they don't touch the greatness of "AngelDust", unfortunately Jim Martin is not part of the reunion.

jon boy 05.21.2009 02:37 PM

this is one re union i am actually suprised about given as i thought they all hated eachother?

super_charger 05.21.2009 02:39 PM

Does anyone know his reason for departing the band and why he wouldn't be part of this reunion? Any bad blood to speak of?

LifeDistortion 05.21.2009 02:41 PM

I don't know for sure but since Jim Martin hasn't really done anything that I'm aware of after Faith No More, maybe he just retired from music completely.

Derek 05.21.2009 02:42 PM

I remember reading a WHERE ARE THEY NOW? feature on Faith No More and Jim Martin said something like, "My main hobby is growing pumpkins now. All I do is grow pumpkins." Ahahaha awesome.

:D That IS awesome. I've always dreamed of owning a pumpkin patch! Once we planted a pumpkin in my mother's back yard and the fucking thing TOOK OVER the whole place. Like ten 80 pound pumpkins sprouted. Totally inedible since they were rotting as they were growing but it was a sight to see.

Derek 05.21.2009 02:52 PM

Ahaha amazing.

I think ole Jim Martin was doing a pisstake... amazing if it wasn't though.

Kegmama 05.21.2009 02:55 PM

Holy hell. This is exciting news, you know how I love the 90's and shit, (trying to beat jb to the punch). I so hope they do some Cali dates. Mike Patton is excellent, I was just listening to some Mr. Bungle and Fantomas madness the other day.

Derek 05.21.2009 02:57 PM

I was listening to Mr Bungle the other day as well! Disco Volante is one of the greatest albums ever.

summer 05.21.2009 02:57 PM

I think I read somewhere that Jim Martin isn't doing this and instead it's Trey Spruance.

Dr. Eugene Felikson 05.21.2009 02:58 PM

Very excited for this.
I sleep with an FNM poster over my head every night.

Trey Spruance would be cool.

Dr. Eugene Felikson 05.21.2009 03:03 PM

I agree. King for A Day was great.

Is it true that Courtney Love tried out to be the band's vocalist, after Chuck's departure?

atsonicpark 05.21.2009 03:08 PM

Trey Spruance strongly dislikes Patton, according to cryptic interview answers when asked about him and message board posts... that's why Mr. Bungle broke up! I doubt Spruance would do it... but if so, maybe Bungle could eventually reform too.
