No problem, guys. Huge thanks to capeshokusa. I just happened to be searching for FNM at the right time.

Hearing Regis say “The great band Faith No More..” is quite surreal and funny.
Sophie September 9, 2010 at 6:14 pm

@ Jones: Thanks for that info. I forgot all about that Neverman record Mike has talked about in interviews. That should be interesting.

Mike Patton’s MONDO CANE Makes U.S. Live Debut on October 3rd at Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival San Francsico

I don’t know if the band has answered the questions, but from what I can remember there were a lot of questions about the future of the band and maybe the guys haven’t had a band meeting to define what’s going to happen. So maybe they’re waiting to give a more accurate answer about their future together.

Just a guess….
JDub September 8, 2010 at 8:42 pm

I want a new FNM record… and I think we’ll get it. If the Questionaire was going to reveal that they will play Chile in Dec then call it quits why would it be so secretive? I’ve heard enough of what fantomas can do and tomahawk as well. The only way I see mondo cane play is if it is free in my backyard.
Jones September 8, 2010 at 7:57 pm

For anyone at all interested… there has been reassurance from a certain someone today that the Nevermen album w/ Mike is being worked on(?) and has an excellent chance of being done/dropping this fall.
Sophie September 8, 2010 at 7:21 pm

I suppose if I went to Chile I would make lots of extra cash selling prints of all my live photos as they’re so obsessive over there! I would love to see the scenes of craziness at the airport, but that won’t be happening again, as Patton is performing with Zu on December 3rd. He’ll be arriving separately anyway. Too bad there won’t be the same group welcoming they received last year! In case anyone here hasn’t seen those scenes, watch this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PhQmpbeR9WM

Understandable that Roddy tweeted that he misses those Chilean lunatics!
Mike Tattoo September 8, 2010 at 6:54 pm

The majority of Chile shows also end up being professional shot and migrating their way onto youtube so it’s basically a win-win situation for everyone involved, IMHO.
Ti Mort September 8, 2010 at 5:28 pm

Hey Sophie I here you too…I think the emotion, energy, excitement of the whole tour got everyone all fired up and then…..nothing….it is really difficult. I live for music….and like everyone else….all I want is some new FNM tunes. I mean no disrespect…and I certainly don’t mean to come off as sounding rude or harsh….so I certainly hope you are not offended by my comments….you too Admin….you know I’m all SHITS AND GIGGLES right?
Sophie September 8, 2010 at 2:29 pm

It’s okay. I totally understand you’re point, though. Wasn’t it back in July that this interview with the band with fans’ questions was supposed to have taken place…? We’re talking almost three months ago now, so I do get why everyone is anxious to know what’s going on.

I just want Patton to hurry up and do another Fantomas record, but that will seriously need a lot of patience!
ti mort September 8, 2010 at 1:47 pm

Sophie…It’s not that I’m getting on anyone’s back…Admin is our liason to the band…….I am simply being nosey….and maybe a little anxious. No need to get defensive on someone elses behalf. I am fairly certain that Adrian doesn’t take these things personally. He knows we are all excited and that we are like kids on Christmas eve….waiting…hoping…..you take things a little too seriously…have fun with it….excitment is always in the air with regards to this site…..but really…it’s all in good fun.
Sophie September 8, 2010 at 1:11 pm

Why are people having a go at Adrian (Admin) about the Faith No More Questionaire…? it wasn’t just him who was involved, he is probably waiting on other people who were to do with all that.

Chile fans deserve a big Faith No More concert, they are the most obsessive and they are extremely devoted. I would love to go and photograph that, but looks like there is no way considering I have no money left and I work! I’ll be happy enough waiting for Patton to get back to Europe with another project and I know it won’t be too long to wait for.
Jones September 8, 2010 at 12:10 pm

If that were to be true, then I am quite happy for Chile. I’d love to see FNM again in the future, and I want my GF to be able to experience them at least once, but… what can you do? After all, it’s still speculation. At this point, I just want a new record. Whether it be FNM, or the Imperial Teen one, or one of MP’s other projects. I just want /something/.
ti mort September 8, 2010 at 12:01 pm

2 things.

1) Admin…do you have any idea when this is going to happen. Is there a reason why you can’t say when? Being sworn to secrecy is one thing…but…..come on….even what month they may respond…

2) I had once heard that they suits for the second coming tour were going to be auctioned off on ebay…true or false…does anyone know.
ti mort September 8, 2010 at 11:48 am

Seems to me that the Chile show will probably go ahead. Patton is scheduled to be there in December…and if I’m not mistaken Jell Biafra and GSM will be in South America in December as well. Unfortunately…this may very well be it……….CHILE……YOU ARE VERY FORTUNATE HUMAN BEINGS……
Nina September 7, 2010 at 9:51 am

hmmm Rob!
ti mort September 7, 2010 at 7:59 am

Guys…I hate to say it…but…I think the Q and A is all but dead. Don’t understand why they would agree to do it…if they had no intention…or are they all just to busy right now….having some serious doubts about much more from the FNM world…..then again….FUCK whatever….I can’t figure these guys out…..maybe that’s the point!
Integra September 7, 2010 at 5:51 am

Q & A???
J September 6, 2010 at 9:15 pm

They’ve been to Chile already, come on guys what the hell play more dates in NORTH AMERICA. WE MISS YOU!!!
Rob September 6, 2010 at 6:57 pm

So Roddy has just tweeted about that he misses Santiago and all the Chilian lunatics.
I’m calling a not very subtle hint that FNM in Chile is a go!
Chris T September 5, 2010 at 4:42 am

I think just hearing Regis Philbin utter the words “Faith No More” is enough to make my brain explode.
Integra September 4, 2010 at 6:49 pm

oh no…
Firsa September 4, 2010 at 12:02 am

p.s. yay Puff!
Firsa September 4, 2010 at 12:01 am

because…

A) the hardcore fans that are drawn to both Mondo Cane and Faith No More are a smaller and more select group than we think… and,

B) the aforementioned all intuitively know that there will be more Mondo Cane US dates announced very shortly.
Mike Bolger September 3, 2010 at 11:17 pm

Whenever I feel like I’m alone against the world and about to freak out on a bad trip I just close my eyes. Take a deep breath. And visualize Puffy.

Dude has the karma of a stoned Gandhi + 10 hitpoints.

Kind of funny that he’s also the founding member and core component, some might say the engine, of one of the most aggressive rap/rock bands of the 20th Century. Huh?

And speaking of which, anyone else think it’s weird that there’s been almost no buzz about Mondo Cane’s US debut as a free show in Golden Gate Park? What’s up with that? FNM sold out 3 days at the Warfield and people went ape-shit crazy. On the coattails of that, Patton’s most ambitious pop music project to date is about to debut in fucking GGP and no one else has really said a word.

I feel like I’m taking crazy pills over here…
SHAWN E September 2, 2010 at 6:00 pm

Haha I didn`t even know this existed. It would have been funny if he would have went with a phone call to help him out with that last question and Patton answers the phone lol
Mat September 2, 2010 at 4:57 pm

Puffy went OK, but in the end the real winner of who wants to be a millionaire was Robert Trujillo!
iiti September 2, 2010 at 3:53 pm

OFF:
Does anybody know whether Billy plays with Jello Biafra’s GSM band during their September tour just about to start in South-East Europe (Croatia, Wiesen, Budapest…)?
Let us know if so.
Krystalita September 2, 2010 at 3:17 pm

I’ve never had any luck in finding this… finally we get to see it! Thanks admin and Andrew!

Maybe the Q&A is taking so long because they are answering EVERY SINGLE question???

Lol, just trying to think positive 😀
Integra September 2, 2010 at 1:45 pm

I dont think the Q & A is going ahead at all
Miss Nessie September 2, 2010 at 1:31 pm

hahahah thanks for the vid!! I laughed a lot!! By the way, if he wants to do so in France, he will be welcomed *laughs*
Thank also Andrew for finding it, you rock man!! 😉
ti mort September 2, 2010 at 12:33 pm

Admin…I know your life expands beyond the boundaries of this site…but….WTF? Are they doing this on purpose…what is the hold up…I’m chomping at the bit……Everyday that passes…my expectations grow…rather than diminish….Tell it is all going to be worth it……please….SAY SOMETHING…ANYTHING!!!!!!!!!
admin September 2, 2010 at 7:01 am

Its not a no-no.
Johan September 2, 2010 at 6:18 am

Good find. I want to know what happened to the fan-interview that the guys informed us would take place? Is this a no-no?
Pino September 2, 2010 at 5:19 am

Fuinally!!!
great find!!!

so funny 😀
fernetpunker September 2, 2010 at 2:23 am

He should have been taking the fifty-fifty joker! *gg*
fernetpunker September 2, 2010 at 2:13 am

@splurkles, yes, of course! That´s Robert Trujillo from Suicidal Tendencies *lol*
splurkles September 2, 2010 at 1:41 am

is that Trujillo from metallica?

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

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.

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.

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
