FNM last played Australia on 29 October 1997 at the Entertainment Centre in the fine city of Perth, the final date of a nine-date tour of New Zealand and Australia.
please guys come to new zealand!!!!we been waiting for years, we really cares a lot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It wouldn’t surprise me one bit if Mike dissed most of those bands. He is opinionated, that one, and not afraid to share. New bands should really stop sucking so bad.
Have to wonder whether Patton will make light of who they’re sharing the stage with. :p
Oh my, those other bands are seriously lame! Paramore and MCR? 😮
I wonder how much they payed the band to perform there? Hahaha.
faith no more playing the same stage as my chemical romance is fuckin hilarious! though they’ll still rock the place harder than those rookies
WOO HOO!!!
however, beside being sarcastic about a few teenage bands, that’s a real good news to see the tour going worldwide (south america, now australia)
really looks like the guys have a great time !
and the longer they stay together, and the more fun they have, the bigger the probability is to get a new album one day ! 😉
Well, lots of crap (and hopefully some good stuff, but not so much) to listen too while waiting for FNM… good luck australian fans ! 😉
