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+02:00December 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.”

London 95 seems to be the best out there unless there’s a bootleg version I’ve not heard . Watched a good interview with trey in relation to his role on the kfad tour — he wasn’t comfortable playing in front of huge crowds and was in a way star struck by fnm as a band . Had to get tips and tricks from Jon Hudson on how to play that particular style . Don’t know if he was being modest. } – Jul 30, 12:21 AM

I remember he liked playing Epic which surprised me...he definitely no longer enjoys playing Death March. But there are quite a few shows in the 2nd half of the 97 tour where they omitted Epic. They didn't play it at the Chile show with Trey and there were a few 2015 shows they didn't play it either, mostly when they played SI in it's entirety. } – Mar 01, 2:49 AM
- KingCol { The inclusion of “epic” in their set lists actually puzzles me - since for the most part the band normally doesn’t give into public demand and if anything would normally go against the grain - probably the bands most popular and well known song and i actually skip by it when listening them live and the only thing i like about the song is the end of the track when they include a sample from another artist. } – Feb 28, 9:01 PM
- Benrun { Agreed. On live bootlegs, Jim does a great job of take a 1/2 measure he and there to add in a little solo fill. On WCAL, Midlife, Epic, he works in great little bits. } – Feb 28, 3:13 AM

The band hasn’t been able to fill that guitar level of greatness. And it probably would have went unnoticed only for the malfunctioning mic.

It is the best FNM album in terms of 5 guys fighting for their part to be heard, yet servicing the songs. It's got the best guitar tone of all the albums. The only possible criticism I can think of for the album is the one that Chuck gave it...that the drums are a little similar song to song...Puffy would stay intense but add more versatility on later albums.

The best thing about phoinex 93 is the fact that the audio was released long before the shaky footage was synced together.

I've also loved getting bootlegs off of Dime a Dozen, still do. Pretty sure it is a "he" and "he" is a really cool guy. Not sure he is a big commenter on websites, and while he's definitely a FNM fan, he also loves a lot of other music. If you search for it you can find his trading website.

Underwater Love is underrated and those keyboard flourishes are beautiful. Also, I often link this song thematically to Nick Cave’s “Where the wild roses grow”. 2. Zombie Eaters lyrics to me are more about the thoughts of an autistic or seriously handicapped young adult man. 3. From Out of Nowhere, The Real Thing and Woodpecker are the best tracks on the album. 4. Have you heard... } – Jan 21, 12:23 PM

It was a really good album that I think just didn't get enough attention or sell well enough. I think he's got a family and perhaps staying in music to not quite make a good living while also always being away from them may have resulted in his staying home and pumpkin farming.

- Benrun { So Jim can take credit for all the music for Jizzlobber and for going out and recording that swamp cricket sample in the beginning by himself. Bill Gould wrote the keyboard outro. Interestingly during live sets, while Roddy mimes playing it, it actually one long sample that he plays...this is clear from that one clip where Patton totally tackles Roddy and his keyboard and they are out of commission, but the outro plays out just fine!

What Chuck had in his delivery was the conviction of his personal feelings and the best his voice could do (which wasn't that much for sure).
