Faith No More played Sol Invictus cut Cone of Shame for the first time ever live tonight to kick off their second date in Tokyo.
And here is a high-quality video of the wonderful new song:
The song is of course track 5 from Sol Invictus – which will be released on 18/19 May.
What do you think?
Here’s Roddy’s verdict on Twitter
tonight was the first performance of CONE OF SHAME. it felt good to do that in Tokyo to rectify the wreckage of last night’s tumult. HUG.

Good point, I hear that too, that slide and the jangly guitars. But yes, this is much better. I like it more and more each time I hear it.
I’m 2 listens in. Reminds me of elements in Home Sick Home but this is a much better song.
Good chance this album will leak…if there are copies already floating around Auzzie radio stations, it’s only a matter of time. Maybe they will surprise everyone and release it early. I find it strange that they set up a huge tour…yet the album release date is near 2/3 of the way through their current schedule. Either they don’t plan on playing many new tunes from the album or they have something up their sleeve.
Man that’s heavy and I love it! This album is sounding melancholic, aggressive yet very dark!! This could be the long lost cousin of Angel Dust I’ve been searching for years..3 more fucking months for studio versions is pissing me off though!
Gotta also say…I rank the following songs as such…
Matador 4.5/5
Cone of Shame 4/5
Superhero 4/5
Motherfucker 4/5
but Ericalution by Chuck Mosley is a 5/5…give it a few listens, that band jam turned song is MAGIC….”you tell me what you do and I tell you what I don’t….and I love you, just in TIME TIME TIME TIME!!!”
This is cool and all, but I really also want to hear the full version of Spirit with the Japanese throat singer!!
Mike Bordin is an animal! Fenomenal. This is shaping up to be a really solid album.
Different and interesting. As with most FNM songs it’s going to take a few listens for me to tell if I like it or love it.
However this song is identified..”Cone Of Shame” or….”We’re still fucking awesome, New Song #4″ ..it sounds like Faith No More to me:) Albeit a conversation we never had yet..so that part is unfamiliar sure..but still.. I recognize who’s talking to me 🙂
H Y P E D ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
My ears also detect a hint of “sweet charity” too .. I think the album version of this song will be nice.
@KingCol funny you say that, the first part reminds me more of a Tomahawk song. However this track gets even better with more listens.
It start instantly reminded me of “the holy filament” …
Getting into it…it’s all so foreign……but I just keep listening to it over and over. Can’t believe we have a new album on the way!!!!!!!!!!!
I like this a lot. Really psyched for the new album.
Great song. So many influences on this one come to mind. Really cool. Love Jon’s guitar work here, subtle and moody.
Sounds really good! The best of the 4 Sol Invictus-songs we’ve heard so far.
Could be a FNM Classic!
