Puyol, thank you for your recap! I looks like Mike said the “eat the poopoo” line at soundwave also.
Puyol February 25, 2015 at 3:47 am

No, no Matador nor Motherfucker. The second encore was not to be.

Some loose impressions after a week or so:

I’m based in Osaka but was able to go to Tokyo and see both shows.
The opening day was kinda weird, FNM without keyboards, for 90% of the show. Everyone, including the band members, was expecting the keyboard trouble to be rectified any minute, constant anticipation of things going back to normal. During which, the band played virtually all no-keyboard songs, like Get Out and Surprise You’re Dead and all. It was unpolished and dirty and tense. The keyboards got fixed after an hour or so. Superhero to finish the show was sensational.
The second day, first of all there were 2-3 times as many people compared to the first day, for some reason. The band was relaxed after a soak in an onsen. They opened with Cone of Shame, which is an excellent new song and was definitely one of the highlights of the two shows. Cuckoo for Caca live was beyond belief. At the start of the show the lead singer Mark Payton went into one of his signature mongoloidal monologues, the theme being “Eat the Poopoo” this time. At some point not much later after that he got annoyed at some guy taking a video with his phone and took a crew member’s phone and took a 30 sec or so clip of the audience, during Midlife Crisis or Evidence, I don’t remember, saying “How does it feel?” or something like that. Toward the end of the show, it looked like the guys were getting tired – you know how onsen makes you sleepy after a while. I speculate that might have been the reason for giving up on the second encore, which is a conefull of shame as Motherfucker was on schedule.
All in all, unforgettable. Both nights, about 30% of the audience were 外人. So I didn’t feel special at all, in that respect.

The throat-chanting Japanese guy is Makigami Koichi, a well-known vocalist in Zorn’s circle:

Gonna need a few listens. Come of shame certainly doesn’t blow me away, that’s for sure…

- Benrun { Well, the new Tetema was all right, kind of 'meh'. I am very much looking forward to the Roddy Bottum album with Hifiklub and Bill Gould's Talking Book II. I predicted the Australia / NZ tour cancel (reschedule) announcement the day before...I'm calling it that you will see the Brushfire Benefit cancellation notice within a few days, and the start of the UK/Europe cancellations.

- Benrun { Yes, there is a soundboard of part of the show and a fairly good audience recording of the full show...from Monash University in Australia. The show is okay. I think the Caffeine on the soundboard is good also. I don't know what the deal is with that Chile show...I know that the soundboard exists because there was a commercial or something with the professional show with professional sound.

These rare songs they hardly ever play live or songs that never made the albums are what I’m listening to at the moment or Patton singing older songs - ie : RnR the world is yours why do you bother Absolute zero Smaller n smaller Paths for glory Etc etc etc } – Mar 30, 8:35 PM

- 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

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 wondered where the origins of that laugh came from because it always sounded familiar as if from a particular tv show or film character.

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

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. This album has so much tongue in cheek but... } – Feb 08, 3:05 AM

The best thing about phoinex 93 is the fact that the audio was released long before the shaky footage was synced together.

I feel like the keyboards remained harsher all the way through the AOTY tour and were more tame in the mix on the reunion shows, I missed the old harsher sound.

- Benrun { KingCol, I email back and forth with that member regularly and have definitely benefitted from the connection because they have been a very generous trader of bootlegs. 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. I haven't messaged with him in a while though, I should check in. } – Jan 25, 2:50 AM

(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
