PS. Someone tell that dud Elysian Fields has no “The” in front of it. Completely different band.

Good shit, thanks for the link. I thought the soundtrack was supposed to be “The Solitude of Prime Numbers” or something. Kinda relieved to hear about Lovage, though… the next journalist should ask him about Nevermen, because I said so.

Here’s a new, kind of rambling little Patton interview:

http://io9.com/5823783/faith-no-more-singer-mike-patton-dishes-on-the-darkness-2-and-his-adventure-in-a-haunted-hotel

He talks about the Fantomas compilation and wanting to work on a new Lovage album, but no mention of new FNM work. And I wonder what that upcoming soundtrack is that he’s talking about… did (*gasp*) I miss something?
Jones July 22, 2011 at 2:57 pm

Well, for those of us who were not there, it appears that all we get is this measly image, because Gamespot has 20 other panel videos, but none from this one (also, people involved with the Comic Con stream liked to mention him every now and again):

I wonder how much involvement he will have, considering it’s a one hour panel and he’s just a VA.
Mike July 21, 2011 at 1:13 am

Wow. Comic Con sold out ages ago.

Anyone here going this week?
Firsa July 20, 2011 at 7:40 pm

Damn – I was just in San Diego last week! Wrong convention 🙁

At least I was able to catch the Melvins with Trevor Dunn at the Casbah. Great show… Dale Crover is amazing (and sweats like a lawn sprinkler).
Jones July 20, 2011 at 2:43 pm

One of the greatest years for Comic Con, but I cannot go… :'( Damn living on the opposite end of the country.

No sh!t, really? Mikey Mike will be appearing in that sort of place? Wow. Guess our boy has grown up. Ha ha

On More glowing reviews for Faith No More bio, Small Victories (4)
- Benrun { Marvin...I took it the same way you did. The band members did get together, but that means, who knows. Even if more FNM music being released is fantasy, it was a positive way to end the book and made me happy. } – Oct 11, 12:07 AM
- 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
- KingCol { Wow-wee Adrian .... €18 is a very reasonable price . My copy of the book just arrived - the coffee and decadence reference is a wonderful opener . So as the lyric goes “Pat yourself on the back and give yourself a handshake” .. } – Oct 09, 3:45 PM

On Latest book reviews (3)
- 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
On Buy Faith No More book Small Victories in the UK (1)
- Benrun { This is very exciting. I've never heard of a book release being moved up before! I read that it was due to demand, which is awesome. Any chance that it may be available earlier in the states? Probably not...by the way, you list more book sellers above than I think even still exist in America. Can't wait to read it! } – Aug 28, 1:49 AM
On Links for a Day 206: Latest book news, and some band news (1)
- Benrun { Congratulations on some great interviews...I really can't wait to get my copy. When you wrote "band news" I got really excited, but it is just band member news. 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
- 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

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. Then backstage I only exchanged a few words with Puffy (he was exhausted), but Patton and I talked for about... } – Jun 17, 1:22 PM
- KingCol { "Hung out back stage" ??? Did you win a competition for backstage passes ? Did you get to ask any interesting questions or get to converse ?What about you Adrian? You must have met with them a few times ? } – Jun 16, 10:13 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
