Faith No More reunion

Looks like Patton agreed to the reunion but they're only touring europe for now.


Mike Patton’s publicist has recently confirmed the long-awaited Faith No More reunion. In a recent statement about Patton’s upcoming involvement with the film Crank 2: High Voltage, Patton’s publicist announced the singer/songwriter/mental patient’s plan to tour Europe with Faith No More this summer. There are no plans yet made for touring the States.

The pumpkin growing business just ain't as lucrative as it used to be.

Jim martin isnt going to be a part of it as of right now. Which is really a shame. I know he wasnt the greatest guitarist but still he had an image that fit with this band.

Supposedly the keyboardist ask him if he wanted to do the reunion and Jim said yes but, for some reason he wont be joining them since one of the other guitarists is taking the spot.

Kinda stupid if you ask me. I loved this band up til their last album but it just wasnt the same without Jims sound.

I love FNM, but I'd bet that the no Jim thing has to do with Patton. To be honest, I'd rather see Jim Martin come back and they have Mosely singing than have Patton there without Jim Martin.

Ahhh, so apparently the pumpkin growing business IS lucrative! My bad.

I have The Real Thing, which I like ok, but I'm not much of a fan of these guys anyway. But more power to 'em if they want to jump onboard the reunion train.

Hmm...not as excited as I thought I would be.

I dont think its got anything to do with Patton. I think it has more to do with Billy Gould. I dont think they ever got along, but from what I read over the years the whole band really didnt get along. Im surprised actually that the drummer is allowed to do this since hes tied up with Ozzy and Sharon.

Actually he is a pretty good guitarist, he nailed the War Pigs cover and made it his own! The solo on Epic is basic but crafted so well it can stick in your head for days.

I'd rather just have The Real Thing lineup just do this. It won't last forever so just makeup and make some money!

how about reunion no more instead?

Well it looks like they went with that Jon Hudson guy instead of Jim Martin. That sucks... Martin gave the band their metal sound.

Yea I read that yesturday! Kinda sucks. The thing is with Jim he had his own unique sound. Without him they just sounded like a regular everyday band. I still like them though so whatever they gotta do. Lets see if a new albums comes outta this.

Agreed

No Jim Martin = NOT Faith No More.

Uh....King For A Day? One of their best if you ask me.

I also heard that Blink 182 and Limp Bizquick are reforming.

Faith No More is a cool band.

I never was much for FNM after Jim left (when he was with them, they were one of my favoirte bands). They weren't bad and I am on the look out for King For A Day... used but at the time the album just didn't click (except for Digging A Grave).

King For A Day is a great album. At first I didnt care for it too much but over time it grew on me. Even a couple of the odd tracks like Evidence are pretty good.
