Faith No More at Nova Rock, Southside and Hurricane

A stag weekend trip to Hamburg (a frustrating 70km away from the Hurricane festival) means I will not be around this weekend for FNM’s Teutonic triple-whammy of festival dates. I hope to provide some news though via Blackberry. Here’s some links and news that should help.
As always check Stubbadub and CacaVolante for news too. I’ll also be on Twitter here and regular commenter here tbeest is always quick with the set list news.
Nova Rock: Festival site is here. Not sure if they’ll have many updates and no live video is planned. Austrian TV station ORF has a preview here. It reports that tickets are still on sale so if you fancy seeing FNM on a smaller stage on the same night as Metallica, Nine Inch Nails and Slipknot you can still make it.
Hurricane Festival: FNM move on to the Hurricane Festival near Bremen in Germany on Saturday night, headlining the main stage at 23.00 after the Pixies and Social Distortion. Again tickets are still on sale with day tickets at €75. The Hamburger Morgenposten have a preview here.
Southside festival: Then its off to sister festival Southside in the south of Germany on Sunday. Its a similar bill to Hurricane with FNM on the main stage at 22.00. Again tickets are still on sale from local ticket outlets and at the festival site.

It seems that German TV channels ZDF and Arte will be filming both Hurricane and Southside for transmission in a series of programmes in August on ZDF anda 90-minute special in November on Arte. More here.

“It seems that German TV channels ZDF and Arte will be filming both Hurricane and Southside for transmission in a series of programmes in August on ZDF anda 90-minute special in November on Arte.”

The Faith No More 8-16-1997 Germany video that I have is a professionally shot video that looks like it was broadcast on TV, so hopefully we can expect more of the same once this show is done. Go, Germans!

I do not have any information on Nova Rock. No songs played, pictures. Nothing. They don’t use twitter much I guess. I know it was rainy,and that they really were ther haha, and that NIN is playing now after them on the same stage and then Metallica on the other stage later. They have a nice festival over there!
Agata June 19, 2009 at 10:22 am

Have a nice trip 🙂

Cheers mate!
I would never be able to provide such an amount of brilliant news as you do. You kick ass!
I will not go to the German festivals but I will see if I can get some info on setlists and other interesting facts – if not already provided just here in the comments. Will be on the Sonisphere festival with Metallica tomorrow in my hometown in NL, Nijmegen – so my tweets will be mainly on that tomorrow I hope.
See you all maybe in Frankfurt on Monday – you cannot imagine how I am looking forward to that. Oh well I bet you all do actually haha.
Enjoy!

- Benrun { I liked Primal Scream's "Kowalsi" that was on the Doc Martin's sampler with FNM's song. I was collecting everything FNM at the time and got that, the Primal Scream song was the 2nd best on there. Plus Vanishing Point was one of my dad's favorite movies b/c of the Dodge Challenger in it. Anything else of there's I should check out? } – Nov 18, 9:44 PM
- KIngCol { Ah faith no man seen them more as much as “the real thing” (the actual band) I saw a good primal scream documentary on bbc - “the lost tapes” ... very similar thought process music production wise. They brought out a hit crowd pleaser album and their instinct was to follow it up with something totally different.. it wasn’t released unfortunately because record label wanted a similar sounding follow up album . Thank fcuk fnm were not restricted like this or angel dust as a follow up would never have seen the light of day } – Nov 17, 10:06 PM

Took a keyboard player that was by all accounts a personality, not a singer...and everyone in the room new that, certainly the journalists and the singer and band themselves...and tried to make that work? And got signed to record deals TWICE while doing it? I don't mean bands with bad singers...I mean bands with someone who didn't even really want to sing. A guy who also come out dressed as Liberace? It seems you would need to feel like your voice unarguably good to try some of the stuff Chuck did. A... } – Nov 13, 4:15 AM
On Small Victories and Faith No More interview with Rock N' Roll Archaeology podcast (1)

Probably never see anything as good as that again. The reason nobody was arrested is because they had sacks over their heads they couldn't identify any of them only by their cocks but no faces so they couldn't link to the two that's what happened. } – Oct 28, 1:19 PM
On More glowing reviews for Faith No More bio, Small Victories (4)
- Benrun { Marvin...I took it the same way you did. The band members did get together, but that means, who knows. Even if more FNM music being released is fantasy, it was a positive way to end the book and made me happy. } – Oct 11, 12:07 AM
- Marvin { Truly a great book. Bought it two weeks ago from Amazon, read it over the course of last week... For an FNM fan (which you probably are if you read those lines), that a no-brainer, go fort it! I learned a lot reading this book, and more importantly it filled some gaps in my overall knowledge of the band. I knew some things happened, I knew that personnal conflicts occurred, but I had never quite understood all of it. I must give credits to the book: it unveils and explains it all, and everything makes sense. About the last paragraph...... } – Oct 10, 8:34 AM
- KingCol { Wow-wee Adrian .... €18 is a very reasonable price . My copy of the book just arrived - the coffee and decadence reference is a wonderful opener . So as the lyric goes “Pat yourself on the back and give yourself a handshake” .. } – Oct 09, 3:45 PM

On Latest book reviews (3)
- E mayan { Thanks Adrian! A fantastic piece of work. Loved it, absolutely fascinating. A band like this really deserve such a bio. Quotes from Patton that aren't just rehashed from earlier articles would've been nice, although can't really be a criticism if he didn't want to be interviewed. Way to not leave out Beavis & Butthead's commentary on "Digging the Grave." So glad Trey Spruance got his say in there, although an explanation about why the end of "The Last to Know" is so lame would've helped:) } – Oct 03, 12:55 AM
- Benrun { I will add...2 things that blew my mind as a fan who thought I knew everything...Roddy's connection to Wall Drug (yes I've stopped at that roadside tourist trap wondering what I was doing there), and that Billy is a lefty! I knew Puffy was, but Billy too? Something that may seem insignificant, but maybe that's why that FNM sound is so freaking different...the left handed rhythm section. } – Sep 27, 11:36 AM
- Benrun { The book is truly a great read and does the band / subject matter justice. It was probably my favorite part of my trip to New Zealand / Australia. I'm back in the states now and finished the book in just a few days after picking it up. I will write a proper review wherever I can...I bought from a small stand-alone bookshop in Winter Park, FL, USA so not sure if I can post reviews elsewhere. Thank you for all your hard work and time Adrian & family! The part I loved the most...the last paragraph. } – Sep 22, 2:08 AM
On Buy Faith No More book Small Victories in the UK (1)
- Benrun { This is very exciting. I've never heard of a book release being moved up before! I read that it was due to demand, which is awesome. Any chance that it may be available earlier in the states? Probably not...by the way, you list more book sellers above than I think even still exist in America. Can't wait to read it! } – Aug 28, 1:49 AM
On Links for a Day 206: Latest book news, and some band news (1)
- Benrun { Congratulations on some great interviews...I really can't wait to get my copy. When you wrote "band news" I got really excited, but it is just band member news. If FNM is done, that is okay...but I hope it means that Billy, Puffy, and Jon will give Castro Sinatra another try. And I'd rather they just get on with it instead of an indefinite waiting game on Patton & Roddy to decide to do FNM again. } – Aug 24, 1:12 AM
On Links for a day 205: World Cup. Dead Cross, book and mash-up (7)
- Benrun { Glad to see Imperial Teen are in the studio. However, it feels safe to say that Faith No More is likely finished. All the FNM nostalgia on the facebook pages is kind of nauseating. I don't like living in the past. Remember when this happened....that was cool. Remember when that happened...that was cool too. I'm looking forward to the book next month, but I'm looking forward to the insight, not the nostalgia. } – Aug 09, 3:55 AM
- Benrun { Midlife Crisis winning the FNM World Cup is very appropriate to me...that is my favorite song ever and the best FNM song. The Real Thing, KFAD being amongst the best fit too. } – Jul 07, 5:28 AM
- KingCol { @benrum - Pre-order confirmation ... I'm really looking forward to this book .. iv been listening to a lot of fnm lately - matador has really impressed me , up there as one of their best songs I'd say. Great to see such an impressive song especially after being apart so long , to be honest I wasn't expecting much from the album considering the gap of time apart and their age etc but they showed that they can still work together and release descent new material. } – Jun 20, 9:51 PM
- Benrun { KingCol, I also love that Race to Space version! I wish they would officially release it! But I don't think it's better, just different. Do you mean your family is pre-ordering the book for Father's Day? You don't mean you are already getting a copy? } – Jun 17, 1:14 PM

I talked to Jon outside before going back for about 10 minutes...talked about his work with Systems Collapse that I had heard online, his inability to follow through with the interview he had agreed to do for FNM Blog because it would have given away Sol Invictus which was a secret at the time. Then backstage I only exchanged a few words with Puffy (he was exhausted), but Patton and I talked for about... } – Jun 17, 1:22 PM

- Benrun { Here is an amazing and frightening point of fact...when I hung out back stage with FNM in Detroit 2015, Patton revealed that he does not use earplugs anymore. I briefly admonished him for that, me being a speech therapist with training in audiology and hearing loss. I love Patton and his music and want him to keep being able to make it. I also hope he quits smoking and drinking (I think he still smokes occasionally). } – Jun 16, 9:30 PM

I couldn't imagine going to a fnm gig and jumping about with the music like regular metalers do because for me fnm are not a regular band . I can only speak for myself but fnm are a band that are better observed and given your full attention to fully appreciate. I'm not sure if their soundboard guy is a long time full time member of staff but he... } – Jun 16, 7:17 PM
