UPDATE: Also invited to the fundraiser are the 33 freed Chilean miners, Chile national team coach Marcelo Bielsa and former Chilean international footballer Iván Zamorano, according to La Cuarta.
Finally, some overdue details on Faith No More’s performance at Chile’s annual Teletón.
The band will play two songs at the closing ceremony around 22.00 local time (Saturday 17.00 San Francisco, 20.00 New York, Sunday 01.00 London, Sunday 02.00 Paris, Sunday 12.00 Sydney) on 4 December, on the eve of their farewell Second Coming show in Santiago.
The Teletón will be broadcast on Canal 13 – Chilevisión – Tvn – Mega, according to The Holy Filament blog.
Tickets are available, upon making a 2000 Chilean peso (around US$4) donation to the Teletón, from the stadio Nacional y Teatro Teletón in Santiago on the 29 and 30 November.
More information on the Teletón. Please donate.
Well that sucks!
Hopefully the band will step up *now* and either quell the rumors or switch the venue QUICKLY.
Moving the date to the 6th will also screw over the locals who have to work that day.
I’m hoping it will work out for you guys.
You can do that, or just pick it up from the venue. I am going to the Secret Chiefs 3 concert! Depending on how tired I am, as I fly in that morning, but I am determined to be there no matter what.
Also, have any of you outside of Chile gotten a ticket for SC3? I don’t have an RUT and will probably pick it up from an outlet in Santiago.
Niether can I, I already paid a fee to leave have a longer trip, but I must leave the 6th. I have the Wall plus finals!!!
Add Comunidad Mike Patton on facebook for updates, this info has come from soccer promoters’ twitters in Chile, so the above is the best source for info.
Also, the latest now is that it will most likely be a venue change as worst case scenario, but keep watch.
Oh GOD…for all your sakes…I hope they move the football game’s date and or venue. That would just about break hearts of all traveling there..not to mention some your bank accounts. I will send some good energy your way…not to worry!!!!!! They will pull through….
Fucking assholes better not! There are lots of us who have booked flights and are leaving December 6th. I can’t afford to change my flight, neither can any of my friends.
ALERT!!!
It appears that the Chilean Faith No More date may be pushed to the 6th due to a futbol game.
Keep checking updates if you are planning a trip. I don’t know what I’ll do if this happens. I hope it’s resolved or they just change venues.
An appearance on Jimmy Kimmel sure would have made a lot of sense!
In other news, I just found this nice new interview with Bill Gould:

~enjoy. Happy Thanksgiving 🙂
I have to agree with you there. An appearance on Jimmy Kimmel would be awesome considering that is taped just a few blocks away from The Palladium on Hollywood Blvd.!
A shame FNM have two gigs in LA but no invite from Leno or Kimmel. To late now, we should have attacked Kimmel’s inbox a month ago.
I think he has aged quite a but, when you think Bill still looks like he did on AOTY tour, Patton never ages, and Puffy has just gone greyer.
Jim’s problem was he was probably against cutting his hair and losing the shades back in 1993, had he sstuck around, he would have looked completly out of place on their KFAD image.
Loved what he brought to FNM but Glad Jon is there now.
Thanks for these photos of Martin, it’s fun to see him again!
“He must have given up drinking and/or smoking cigs.” Check that last picture – beer can in his hand and cigarette in his mouth! *LOL*
I think Jim looks much better than with all that hair ‘n’ fuzz he had in the 1990s. He’s just smartened up a lot.
Here’s a better photo of him:

I’m not falling for any of this tomfoolery 😀
I’ve seen a fairly recent photo of Jim at some pumpkin growing contest and he actually looked pretty good. Shaved his grizzly beard and ditched the freaky sunglasses, and whatever is left of his hair is tucked under a baseball cap. He actually had a somewhat handsome face under all of that fur…
I’ll try to dig up the photo and post it later.
Teletón song selection prediction: Epic and Ben
And oh yeah, what’s the deal with kiddies saying Jim Martin looks bad in the photo @Luke posted? So what if he is balding and graying and not dyeing it? That’s normal. He looks great for his age! Good skin? Check. (Must be all of that pumpkin pie!) Minimal wrinkling goin’ on? Check. Healthy eye holes? Check. Healthy smile? Check.
He must have given up drinking and/or smoking cigs. I’d hang with this dude. He’s probably a lot smarter than the character he played as a young dude under the spotlights of the camera crews in FNM.
Man…. Jim looks great I think!!!
I never would have recognized Jim Martin in that photo at all! Yeah, he’s aged a lot more than the rest, but he just looks a lot different without all the hair and beard. You can sometimes find some very rare, random photos of bands on those Fotolog.com pages, but the fans on there have a habit of snatching photos that are probably not all supposed to be posted on there at all if you know what I mean. I’ve discovered loads of my band shots on there with somebody else’s custom watermark added, the thieving sods!
I’ll be watching the Teleton on Chilean television, although I do have the option of getting a media pass, I would rather watch it with friends who are also going to Santiago for the concert the next day and save my energy. I knew the miners would be making an appearance. It wouldn’t be as good if they didn’t considering it’s a big event in Chile.
“Oh. my. god. Becky…Look at her butt”…
I would never recognise Jim Martin if I saw him down at the pumpkin farm. Whats he doing with Rob and Cliffs dad?
Somehow Jim has always looked older than the other guys in FNM back in the 90’s
In the video for “We Care A Lot” it looks like a fake Jim Martin that appears at about 2:17 and 2:41

When I was a kid, I used to think that Mike Patton and Mike Bordin were brothers. They looked alike to me! 😀
I recognised Rob, but didnt realise that was Cliff’s dad. Thats pretty cool.
Jim was a weird one. Age has got the best of him haha.
Hey guys..I also want to comment on the site and pay homage to the administrators. This FNM site is great, possibly the most diverse and up to date there is. I can’t wait til the LA shows. My partner and I are coming all the way from Orstralia; both shows! Maybe bump into some of you there? Look for the tall, gray-haired, bespectacled man with the large grin 🙂
Regarding the Teleton live stream, here’s Chile’s Canal 13 “en vivo” (I think):
http://envivo.13.cl/?s=6
…anyway, worth a try. Probably any of those 4 stations will have a live link, just click around 🙂
Hi friends, you can see the show, will be broadcast live via Canal 13, chilevision, Tvn (22:00) Chile
http://envivo.13.cl/?s=4 -> Canal 13

Greetings From Chile.
sweet pic!!!
Thanks for the link Luke. Jim looks old and totally different!
That’s Cliff Burton’s dad on the left and Rob from Metallica on the right….
Hey admin, you need to post this picture on your page, it blew my mind!!

(the guy in the middle)
RAD!!!!!!!!!
Thanks. I definitely plan to keep the site going and, when I get my act together, add that forum.
Im wih timort, admin you have done a great job!!!! Will the site just like shit, live forever………
HEY ADMIN…QUESTION FOR YOU…….what are your plans after the Dec 5th show? Will you be carrying on with the site a la Mike Patton 2.0? Or will this also be the end of the site? I don’t think these guys are finished just yet!!!! Anyway…I was just curious. Once again, phenomenal job with this web site. It has brought many of us great happiness since the beginning of the reunion. Thanks alot!!!!
I know it would be totally inappropriate….but …..wouldn’t it be awesome if they played there 2 craziest songs for the telethon…..there would be some funny faces in the audience!!!!
Anyone know if there will be a live feed for us American fans? Someone out there from Chile has to be willing and able to post a link or start up a live stream themselves. Love to see it. You Chile fans are lucky as fuck to get the teleton AND the final shows from the ass end of this amazing reunion tour. Go Chile, you magnificent bastards.
