Faith No More’s Hollywood tee is available in the US store and there are some holiday specials.
And here’s the rest of the world store. Deadline for Christmas orders has now passed except in the UK (19 December).
As many of you may know, We Care a Lot is used as the theme tune of the Discovery Channel show Dirty Jobs. In an interview with the San Francisco Chronicle, presenter Mike Rowe speaks about the choice of theme tune:
“Have you ever run into a member of Faith No More?
You know, I know they’re from here. It’s so funny you say that. I heard “We Care a Lot,” which randomly came on in the gym the other day. I said “I’m going to send them an e-mail just to say thanks, because I picked that song.”
The network didn’t want to do it because nobody in Silver Springs had ever heard of it. And I said “This is the right tune for the show.” They had three other songs in front of it, but (the rights weren’t secured) and this one came through. I’d love to meet them. Give them my regards.”

Faith No More Kiss and Say Goodbye

After 75 shows in 34 countries, The Second Coming Tour has come to an end.
Here’s the band saying goodbye – for now at least – with their Manhattans cover, the 57th different song the band performed on the tour.

(via fnm.com)
“This has got to be the saddest day of my life
I called you here today for a bit of bad news
I won’t be able to see you anymore
…
I’m gonna miss you, I can’t lie
Understand me, won’t you try
It’s gonna hurt me I can’t lie.”

Send us your thoughts on the tour, your experiences and your hopes for FNM’s future below.
Thanks for coming along here for the ride.

Faith No More’s final Second Coming show in Santiago

(via @Shimaru_)
Faith No More are due to go on stage at 2115 local time at the Estadio Bicentenario Municipal De La Florida in Santiago for the final show of the 2009-2010 Second Coming reunion tour and possibly the band’s final show ever.

There is no live video or audio stream that we are aware of but we will try to keep you updated here.

Not much news on songs played yet but Chilean media have reported that their were crowd disturbances before the concert and pepper spray used. Seems like a minor disturbance and here’s hoping everyone can enjoy the show.

Meanwhile, some video has surfaced of Epic on Twitter (via @sandrarriagada).

They came, they saw and the conquered. Resplendent in their pastel suits, Faith No More played Ashes to Ashes and Midlife Crisis at the Chilean Teleton at the Estadio Nacional tonight. According to the Holy Filament on Twitter, the Midlife Crisis interlude was a cover of “Que he sacado con quererte” by Violeta Parra.

The band were presented with a memento after their performance and Mike Patton took the opportunity to say “Gracias a ti, Don Corleone” to presenter Don Francisco. The band’s performance also got FNM trending on Twitter.

Faith No More at Hollywood: the reviews

admin2010-12-04T10:43:04+01:00December 4th, 2010|Faith No More, News|21 Comments

Faith No More’s US goodbye, for now at least, at the Hollywood Palladium this week may not have rocked the mainstream media but it did attract a lot of local media and specialist music media interest.

Leading our review round-up is “our own” Wanderlusting aka Karina Halle in Consequence of Sound, capturing the fin de siècle fever of the occasion.
Sample quote: “No wonder then that when Patton was crowd-surfing, the audience literally would not let him go, no matter how hard he was screaming and kicking. They were like a crowd of starving zombies, wanting more than he could give ever them. I didn’t blame them – no one here wanted to say goodbye. Maybe we could just keep him for one more night.”

OC Register: “Faith No More powerful at the Palladium”
Sample quote: “A stellar “Everything’s Ruined,” during which Jon Hudson really proved his mettle with distorted guitar sounds, and “Helpless,” replete with Patton’s crazy whistling and yelping, made their tour debuts here. Danny DeVito even danced across the stage at one point.”

Artistdirect: Faith No More – The Palladium – Hollywood
Sample quote: “Even with such a transcendent conclusion, “Helpless” still sticks out in this writer’s mind. Patton chanted “Help” over and over again upon the song’s finale, but it’s ironic. Faith No More don’t need any help from anyone. They changed the face of music forever for the better. They started a revolution that led to the formation of countless bands and another life for hard rock. They started it on their own terms, and they’ll end it that way as well.”

Brooklyn Vegan: Faith No More played 2 LA shows (pics, video, setlists), say they ‘will not exist after tonight’

Mxdwn – It’s It – Faith No More Live at the Palladium
Sample quote: “As a rock-and-roll band they never stopped redrawing the boundaries of what we consider “rock” or what they wanted it to be. They kept following that impulse, to reach beyond what was possible, what they couldn’t have. The results are without question. They are quite possibly the greatest rock group of our generation. The only bad thing? That they seem to be going their separate ways again.”

Me and all my friends had never really heard Patton live at that point and all agreed, "He must have had a head cold or something" meaning he seemed extra nasal! 2.

On Roddy sheds light on Faith No More future in new interview (5)
- Benrun { As far as Chuck being boring on the early FNM, you have to keep in mind the post-punk influence. Bands were making careers in rock with fairly monotonous singers. I don't think he was boring anyway, but compared to Ian Curtis and John Lydon, he was fairly theatrical with his range and choices. Forgot to mention...there are interviews with Patton discussing his dislike for live albums in general, which is why he turned the Mondo Cane live material into studio songs instead of releasing them as is. Patton said that live show are for the people who decided to show... } – Dec 07, 2:27 AM
- Benrun { Yes, it's a rare band where the frontman isn't the main draw for most of the fans. Patton elevates all the projects he's involved with. As much as I enjoyed Tetema for the music, Patton puts it over the edge as something I would enjoy coming back to again and again. Same thing with the Moonchild albums, Tomahawk. On Sol Invictus, it stands out on a song like Black Friday which wouldn't be something that would stand out to me, but you add in the over-the-top approach Patton took mixed with the classy background vocals, and then whoever put on... } – Dec 04, 4:44 AM

As to the chuck versus mike preference for me (probably due to my age and first noticing the band) it’s with out a doubt Patton .

He had some ideas he wanted to test out according to an interview back awhile ago, since he didn't get to include any ideas on Sol Invictus. I like his playing and hope that he gets some more work as a guitarist. I saw that Rocket Moth are working on a new album,... } – Nov 30, 3:58 AM

- Benrun { This is me grasping at straws, but I notice Patton is growing his hair out long lately. Last time he did that was for the FNM reunion in 2009. In the meantime, new Talking Book, Imperial Teen, and Tomahawk are taking FOREVER. Favorite albums of 2018 are Usssy Voyages and Daughters You Won't Get What You Want. Patton's 1922, CAF's Ellipse, and Belly's Dove close behind. Overall, not a tremendous year for music. I was mostly hoping for Chuck's Mosley's solo release; hopefully it will see the light of day. } – Nov 25, 9:17 PM

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

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?

- 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

- 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

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

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.
