Brief Mike Patton quotes – the real thing this time – about the Sinfônica Heliópolis in leading Brazilian paper O Globo:
“I never heard anything recorded by them, but I heard the orchestra by Brazilian friends. Once I found out more about the work of the Sinfônica Heliópolis , it confirmed my intuition that they would be perfect for Mondo Cane. Not only musically, but also in spirit. After this experience, inviting the choir to accompany Faith No More at the SWU festival was a natural choice.”
The piece also includes a great quote from the symphony’s executive director Isaac Karabtchevsky:
“I was impressed with his attitude, which becomes demonic when that image is on stage, but he was an angel in real life.”
A reminder of the performance:

And in a similar vein, the behind-the-scenes video Just A Choir from the Maquinaria festival that was previously on Facebook is now on YouTube:

fnm4ever have uploaded the full show of Faith No More at the Super Rock festival in Lisbon on YouTube:

Another rather good Faith No More remix from soundcloud – Midlife Crisis the Virgin Material Material Remix:
Faith No More – Midlife Crisis (Virgin Magnetic Material Remix) by Virgin Magnetic Material
The NME has included Mike Patton’s The Solitude Of Prime Numbers in its list of the 20 Best Cult/Experimental albums of 2011.
And another Faith No More tribute act that I was unaware of – the nattily-named Faith No Moreish, who play Hull in England on 23 December.

The Seagull Song

admin2011-12-17T09:52:07+00:00December 17th, 2011|Faith No More, News|70 Comments

Last week we were alerted to the snippet of the Seagull Song by Shane who posted it on YouTube.
The song originated from the Angel Dust sessions and Shane somehow came across a full version of the song on a CD is his basement.
We were going to publish the full version on the blog but, as it was an outtake from the Angel Dust era that was left in the can for a reason and that that is where it should remain, we decided not to.
But it was published here in the Comments and The Holy Filament have posted on it so enjoy the snippet.

Apropos here is what the band said about unreleased material in their fan interview with Stubbadub, FNM French Facebook community and FNM 2.0 in 2010:
Billy: “I think we’ve released most of it, even the bad stuff. The stuff that hasn’t been released it really not so good. There’s a reason it never got out; it never really came together. Everything else we put out a long time ago.”
Roddy: “Bands don’t release things because they don’t like how it sounds.”

Links for a day…(vol. 120): Dusty Springfield mash-up, Patton is not God, Bunraku narration

admin2011-12-16T03:38:27+00:00December 16th, 2011|Faith No More, Links for a day|4 Comments

One of the more entertaining mash-ups we’ve heard and Midlife Crisis is the Faith No More component:
http://vimeo.com/33706811
I missed this for an On This Day feature but here’s a great clip of Faith No More playing French TV show Nulle Part Ailleurs in December 1997 – probably their last ever TV-only performance:

Stumbled upon this again the other day and always worth revisiting this slice of popular culture. Mike Patton is not God!:

Speaking of the non-deity, here – courtesy of Homefuck on Comments – is Patton’s opening narration of Bunraku:

The one where an injured and seemingly annoyed Puffy leaves and Mike Patton apparently takes over on drums.

This was recorded in 30 July 1990 in Sydney as part of a Live at the Wireless show for Australia’s leading station Triple J.

Downloads of the full show are very easy to find on Google.

- 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 .

Took a keyboard player that was by all accounts a personality, not a singer...and everyone in the room new that, certainly the journalists and the singer and band themselves...and tried to make that work? 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?

Probably never see anything as good as that again. The reason nobody was arrested is because they had sacks over their heads they couldn't identify any of them only by their cocks but no faces so they couldn't link to the two that's what happened. } – Oct 28, 1:19 PM
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

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
