Faith No More Aussie special

In a belated tribute to the Soundwave announcement here are some YouTube vids and other goodies of Faith No More in Australia.
First up, Mike Patton being asked in an interview with Triple J about being invited by INXS to be their replacement front man.

Next, one we’ve featured before. Bill and Mike P being interviewed by Channel 7’s The Times in 1995.

Third, Faith No More on Aussie TV show Tonight Live With…

Next the lowdown on their last Aussie gig – 1 November 1997 in Perth – from the always invaluable Stefan Negele database/CV database. Read all about it here.
Edge of the World live in Melbourne August 1990.

Another – slightly painful – Mike Patton radio interview – from 1997.

And finally a stunning version of This Guy’s In Love with You from their last Aussie tour in 1997.

Thanks Gezarie,
Please come to Washington DC FNM!
And pray Richard Wilkins or Molly Meldrum never get their hands on a FNM interview shot 😉

FUCKING PUMPED!! This is my “moment” in life.
Gezarie August 15, 2009 at 9:47 am

Oh Eric, i couldn’t agree more , man. The muppets that get to interview bands here, are shocking. Did you see the triple J interview with Mike in 2007? Cringe worthy!

It becomes abundantly clear how many of the tv and radio personalities don’t do their research and then during the interview, DONT LISTEN! :-O

Also bout the US, they have no plans as yet…but that could change! Here’s hoping for you

I could cry even now with at least two concerts in the next fortnight and now a whole spate of soundwave gigs…im still sooo upset that I wasnt old enough to go to that very last australian show with my sisters :’o( One thing I never forgave mum for! I still have the AOTY shirt they got me.

Once again thank you for all think links! So nice to have them all in one place :o)

Miss Chievous, thanks doll! Yes we are overjoyed!

Ok, so here’s the deal. Aussie who saw FNM in 98, now living in the US. Majorly pissed that I am missing this Aus tour especially considering no US tour seems imminent. I hope the world our is a warm up to a US tour.

One thing strikes me after this collection of clips. The Aussies (ie Us) are god awful at doing interviews with Mike Patton. Richard Kingsmill is the only decent one and even he didn’t seem to handle Patton well, I recall that interview from a MIke Patton special on Triple J in 2001…..There is another slightly better one on triple J with during the KFAD tour with Bill Gould in 1995. Michael Tunn conducted that and it is available somewhere on youtube Part 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YkHWFGT4Dok
Part 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sCEanbvGwh8

tbeest August 14, 2009 at 5:54 pm

Nice to see, thanks agan mate!
ThePetro August 14, 2009 at 5:52 pm

I think those are both good interviews.
Jessie August 14, 2009 at 4:34 pm

Kind of a dorky interview in the second video… and that radio interview from ’97.. *shakes head*

Anyway thanks for putting these up – great viewing/listening.
Miss Chievous August 14, 2009 at 4:25 pm

But silence since...I hope there is more to that story. I don't know what this band has against releasing a live EP every once in a while. It is insane that this band has only 1 half-assed live release. If anything they should at least correct that...release the actual whole Brixton 90 show.

I have no idea what song I would pick. I would just love for them to record the covers they've already done....Time Forward, Reunited, Kiss & Say Goodbye, Adje Jano, Switch, Strawberry Letter 22, Que He Sacado, and a proper release of This Guy's In Love.

- KingCol { Or how about a recommend cover song for them to do .. I'd like to add "Amy winehouse back to black" for the keyboard intro . The song itself would be suitable for all of fnm members to shine } – May 14, 10:23 PM
- Benrun { Good question. You can hear the Patton background vocals on it, but I think that's probably just an effect that either Patton or Roddy plays live. I always figured that Patton must have made some kind of bad face or something when he hits that sour note to open the song and that they didn't want to show it! FNM are pretty particular about their live recordings, they seem reluctant to put anything out there...it took 30 years to put up a live video from the WCAL era! J/K I think they had to acquire that.

If you close your eyes and listen, it's a pretty well played version, I'm not sure if it comes off as the most aggressive. But then if you watch it as well...pretty aggressive. } – Mar 17, 2:56 AM
- Benrun { I've never heard of that one but it sounds cool. I hope you find it and share! } – Mar 14, 1:43 AM
- KingCol { This is almost impossible to find and could be due to the possibility of it being an unofficial white label remix or something but it's a particular remix of "a small victory" that sounds more or identical to the "youth" remixes only this version has samples of explosions and guns and people screaming as if in a war conflict.. heard it and have part recorded it off a pirate radio station years ago but could never get the full original mix nor find out any info on it . } – Mar 13, 8:46 PM
