– Older interviews now and Mark (@NoCrowdsurfing) has a Flickr treasure trove of mostly UK music press interviews and reviews with and of the band back in the day.
Check it out. Here is one gem – a Mike P interview with the now defunct Face magazine:

Larger version.

– Business Insider has published a new list of supposed prices for bands to play one-off gigs lists the going rate for Faith No More to play in your front room as $500,000. That’s five times more than Black Sabbath by the way! The whole list to be taken with a pinch of salt but here are two other takes on it. PRP Lambgoat

I have a friend who looked into getting Poison for their Mardi Gras ball next year…$100K…so those numbers are about right, except that seems awfully expensive for FNM. I’m guessing it’s just something they aren’t interested in doing so they have thrown out an exorbitant number at some point.

- 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
On ON THIS DAY: Faith No More play Hammersmith 1990 full audio (16)
- Benrun { I had struck up a friendship with Chuck Mosley who gave me his backstage pass (cause does he really need to wear one to go backstage?). 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

- admin { The only foolproof solution is to buy three books! I’d be disappointed if it’s not physically available in Sydney. Will let you know when I know more about availability. } – Apr 15, 10:01 PM
- KingCol { Really looking forward to this book. If you are meeting the band get a signed copy for me please } – Apr 15, 9:03 PM
- Benrun { Dilemma...the book releases in the USA the same day that I fly to Australia. I would love to have it on the plane. 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

- Benrun { So months ago, Roddy, Bill, and Puffy teased a photo of themselves together in San Fran, I think outside their studio. That's a big deal b/c Roddy lives in NYC. 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
- Benrun { Absolutely...me dream covers from the ReUnited tour would be....Reunited, Switch, Adje Jano, Que he Sacado, and Kiss & Say Goodbye. Or do a Cardiacs cover as a benefit/tribute! Or, just get over themselves about not liking live albums and release some official live stuff. Take our money or I'll scream!! } – Mar 01, 2:53 AM
- Justin Reed { Just give us a 4 song EP once every 2 years even if those 4 songs are covers I would love to have even a sound studio cover of Ben and Reunited!(Me throwing money at the computer screen at the mere thought) } – Feb 28, 7:15 PM

Thank you to Adrian's family for letting him have this obsession which I know takes time away from other things. Thank you to Chuck's family for letting him hit the road the last few years to live his musical life and letting his fans see him again. Thank you to Doug and his family for be the driving force behind all the output from Chuck this last... } – Nov 24, 5:09 AM

I tried listing them out but it wouldn't post for some reason. I've tried writing a response about 8 times. I'm mostly just listening to Chuck these days, his newest songs are some of his best. } – Dec 20, 3:25 AM
