Faith No More Reunites, Plots European Dates



Faith No More has announced its first live performances since splitting up in 1998. The band will play a series of European festival dates this summer, according to a statement from frontman Mike Patton's publicist.

No North American Faith No More dates are scheduled at this time. As previously reported, only Patton and frequent collaborator Rahzel will perform at Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival in April, despite speculation about a Faith No More appearance.

Neither the lineup for the revived Faith No More nor the specific festival dates have been announced. Patton's spokesperson Monica Seide said no further details on the band are yet available.

The news of Faith No More's reunion comes as Patton completes his first film score, for “Crank 2: High Voltage,” which will hit theaters on April 17.

Patton and beatboxer Rahzel, meanwhile, have worked on an album that has not yet been officially released.


Faith No More's biggest single, "Epic," reached No. 9 on the Hot 100 in 1990. "Midlife Crisis" earned the band the top spot on the Modern Rock Tracks chart in 1992.

For real?! Holy FUCK!!

HOLY FUCK! this is the most awesome thing ive heared in a long time!!

Ahh, win!

Niiiiice.

Thanks for posting BlueRaja

Well. I need a new set of jeans.

Oh fuck off!

I love FNM, but all this fads of bands reuniting recently reeks of milking cash cows.

Gimme a sec, gonna dig out something Josh Homme said...

"I love this. Maybe the likes of Sting and Robert Plant should pay attention.

'The offers come in all the time. They're getting more and more expensive, and more and more elaborate. The money is crazy, but I've never been tempted – I don't really care about the money, I never have. That's not what KYUSS was about, so to punctuate the end of our sentence with that would be blasphemy. KYUSS fans are so fuckin' rad, they're fuckin' badass — but to me, reunions are just not necessary. It's not what it was, it's what it is, and KYUSS was a really magical thing — and if you weren't there, well, you weren't. That's just the luck of the draw. I don't feel the urge to do it for somebody who didn't have the opportunity to see us, or just didn't take the opportunity to see us. I'll let other bands alter their great legacies. KYUSS has such a great history that it would be a total error. I like that nobody saw KYUSS, and that it was largely misunderstood. That sounds like a legend forming to me. I'm too proud of it to rub my dick on it'. –Josh Homme, May 2007"

If bands are good, they will stand on their own merit to keep being listened to 10, 50, 100 years in the future, if they rely on reunions and the like to generate more fandom... It's all a but pathetic. I never saw Dev play, and in all likelyhood never will, I saw SYL. But if in 10 years time SYL come back, I'd be excited, but more than a little jaded to say the least. This is not the rant of someone who isn't a fan, don't get me wrong there, but I see it all as unnecessary hype generating bullshit.

Apparently Jim Martin is the only one not in. It's only a rumour though.

Steph must be happy

in the word of our brother nathan: HOLY FUCKING SHIT THATS AWESOME!!!

That would be a bummer. They lost it slightly after he left. Introduce Yourself/Real Thing and especially Angel Dust are alternative Heavy Music masterpieces. Subsequent albums = good solid records.

Introduce yourself was good? ive been avoiding it all this time thinking it was crap coz mike wasnt in the band

Well, avoid it no more. It's a cool album, Chuck Mosely was a good singer and only suffered by comparison with who came after him in hindsight. 'We Care Alot' is an all time FNM classic!
