Links for a day (vol. 163): Guardian feature and Fantomas in Chile

The Guardian today feature a beginner’s guide to Faith No More – and it is a well-informed effort from the UK broadsheet. The article states: “To mark the news of the first Faith No More album in almost two decades, here are 10 of their finest tracks, from rap collaborations to songs about masturbation.”

News today also that Mike Patton is not cutting back on his other projects. Fantomas are returning to the stage later this year. Humo Negro reports that supergroup will play the inaugural RockOut festival which takes place on 6 December at Espacio Broadway in Santiago, Chile.

Finally, rumours about the FNM April 15 release continue to intensify. Following on from U2’s Apple giveaway, latest reports are that the Faith No More release will also be an innovative giveaway. It seems the band are set to upload the album encrypted to the cloud on 1April along with a series of naked selfies and get free distribution from hackers as well as reddit and 4chan.

Bill Gould speaks about new Faith No More album

admin2014-09-02T12:08:21+02:00September 2nd, 2014|News|3 Comments

Bill Gould has spoken extensively to Rolling Stone about the new Faith No More album which will be released in April 2015:
When asked how the new record sounds he said:
“I mean… [Laughs.] What I can say is that I think through our experience as musicians over the years, I think what we’re doing reflects where we’ve gone since we made our last record as Faith No More. I think this kicks things up a notch. And I think there’s parts that are very powerful and there’s parts that have a lot of “space.” Everything we do, with our chemistry, the way we play; it’s always going to sound like us. It’s just what we do, that makes us feel good. Hopefully it doesn’t sound like a bunch of 50-year-old men… which we are! ”

New single Motherfucker will be released on a seven-inch due for November 28th release and limited to 5,000 copies as part of Record Store Day’s Black Friday.

- Benrun { FNM want to do something to help Australia...most people are thinking a tour, but how would that help unless they donated all the proceeds? Who could afford that? My suggestion: release the whiny-guitar-laden, sure to be awful "Seagull Song" for digital download to benefit a chosen fund. Every FNM fan would buy it. We don't care that it is probably a horrible song. Come on, FNM, what are you willing to sacrifice to help those in need?? } – Jan 19, 2:56 PM

- KingCol { Download was probably the greatest festival iv ever attended - Faith no more’s second live performance of their comeback and a lot of the crowd were more intrigued by their instant headliner status considering that they have been away more than a decade. I got the impression that a lot of people were not in the fnm loop and the interest was via other metal/rock bands referring to fnm as a major influence — When fnm walked on stage it got people’s attention be them fans or 1st timers . The crowd went in a way quiet and I remember... } – Jan 17, 12:14 AM
- Benrun { I read the Roddy Kerrang interview...it seems like they have something to inject into the world of music in 2020...so again, I'll reserve judgement. Maybe they will inject some extra snarky covers or something. I love FNM covers...them covering Violetta Parra, Siouxsie & the Banshees, Peaches & Herb, The Manhattans, and even MJ on the reunited tour was pretty awesome. I'd love some new live covers. Especially if they are there to troll festival goers...that's was FNM does. } – Jan 10, 4:23 AM
On Ghost's Tobias Forge praises hard-to-define Faith No More (24)
- Benrun { I'm very hopeful it will be something much more than announcing that they will play European festivals. I knew before this that Hellfest was announcing their line-up, and I figure they would play other shows over there. I personally feel that a countdown to a tour announcement without a promise of something new after 3.5-4 years of silence would be a huge misjudgment of fan enthusiasm. If it's just a tour, just announce it. They are my favorite band and musicians on the planet...I don't want to see them get too egotistical. } – Nov 26, 3:00 AM

But then you look back and see that the humour is overshadowing other things, and you realise it can't be that way all the time. There's so many things about this band that have never made it to print or photos, people haven't seen there's a lot of dimensions here.

I always liked “return to your own vomit like a dog” I also like the Kronos quartet bit they sampled The whole song “Khad” is one huge wow weeeeee But what has blown me away recently was Fantomas / suspended animation - Sunday ————- the start of that song with the classical vibe to it is superb —— anyone know who wrote that part or was it a sample from else where.? } – Apr 24, 1:57 AM
- Benrun { Hello KingCol…I do the exact same thing! Everyday I just look at the latest post and check the comment number. You asked a very difficult question...I know Bill picked Midnight Cowboy, Bill and Patton together picked I Started a Joke when they heard it in a karaoke bar in Guam...I get a sense that it was because it was so sappy in a powerful way, but that's a guess. I'm sure Bill had his hand in the Serbia song and the Chilean Violeta Parra cover. I'd love to know the stories behind these choices. Jon played Rich Girl, Strawberry Letter... } – Apr 18, 3:26 AM

I also replied that it's amazing that FNM and Mr. Bungle were ahead of the curve simply because they had a profound influence not only on musical contemporaries like Sepultura , Bjork , and Melvins,... } – Mar 01, 3:28 PM
- Benrun { I remember an interview with Bill and he was asked what songs he does or does not enjoy playing live anymore. I remember he liked playing Epic which surprised me...he definitely no longer enjoys playing Death March. But there are quite a few shows in the 2nd half of the 97 tour where they omitted Epic. They didn't play it at the Chile show with Trey and there were a few 2015 shows they didn't play it either, mostly when they played SI in it's entirety. } – Mar 01, 2:49 AM
- KingCol { The inclusion of “epic” in their set lists actually puzzles me - since for the most part the band normally doesn’t give into public demand and if anything would normally go against the grain - probably the bands most popular and well known song and i actually skip by it when listening them live and the only thing i like about the song is the end of the track when they include a sample from another artist. } – Feb 28, 9:01 PM
- Mark Rago { If I were Jim Martin, and Mike, Billy and Roddy were calling me a Mama's boy and insulting me in the Lions share of interviews, I wouldn't have been a team player either. That being said, it seems to me that Martin was the creative catalyst during the Mosley era and The Real Thing. Patton really started to pilot the bands style and writing during the making of Angel Dust, and I think Martin took umbrage with that, and the teasing and ribbing the other guys piled on him when absent from band interviews (good natured or not) started to... } – Feb 28, 2:03 PM

It is the best FNM album in terms of 5 guys fighting for their part to be heard, yet servicing the songs. It's got the best guitar tone of all the albums. The only possible criticism I can think of for the album is the one that Chuck gave it...that the drums are a little similar song to song...Puffy would stay intense but add more versatility on later albums.

The best thing about phoinex 93 is the fact that the audio was released long before the shaky footage was synced together. I listened to that audio for years and had so many questions about that show that the video answered...

I've also loved getting bootlegs off of Dime a Dozen, still do. Pretty sure it is a "he" and "he" is a really cool guy. Not sure he is a big commenter on websites, and while he's definitely a FNM fan, he also loves a lot of other music. If you search for it you can find his trading website.

(on a side bragging note , I was also lucky enough to attend the gig in Dublin in the Olympia with a capacity of just 1200) As everyone else mentioned here already, the other obvious stand out tracks are “the morning after” and “under water love” .

- Emayan { Episode 2 was awesome! So much fun to go back over this classic of an album. Not a weak song on it...including Underwater Love (what an outro) and The Morning After (what an intro). The Real Thing is still one of the greatest rock songs ever. Pure perfection, an all-time favorite. } – Jan 23, 12:12 AM
- Rob { Podcast 2 a success!! Please don’t feel the need to speed up your analysis. I’ll totally be happy with a 3 or 4 hour analysis of TRT. My own notes on the TRT: 1. Underwater Love is underrated and those keyboard flourishes are beautiful. Also, I often link this song thematically to Nick Cave’s “Where the wild roses grow”. 2. Zombie Eaters lyrics to me are more about the thoughts of an autistic or seriously handicapped young adult man. 3. From Out of Nowhere, The Real Thing and Woodpecker are the best tracks on the album. 4. Have you heard... } – Jan 21, 12:23 PM
