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 😉

any news on any New Zealand shows anyone??

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

– Finland? (Huh?) He sure sounded surprised…like Mike was on the moon or something…haha..;)

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

- 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

- 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
- KingCol { Best gig i ever witnessed - sound wise .. I was especially lucky to get tickets in seated area so i missed nothing and was able to fully observe the performance. 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

I'm wondering if it will be in a store near me or if it will only be available online, in which case it will arrive after I'm gone. I wonder if it will be in any stores in Sydney? } – Apr 15, 8:25 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. Everyone I know who loves FNM loves them because of their live show...not their albums. But memories... } – Mar 21, 12:05 AM
