UPDATE: The band are suggesting that this song may get an airing on Tonight with Jimmy Fallon!
The release of Faith No More‘s comeback album Sol Invictus may still be days away, but already attention is turning to even newer music from the band. A song that does not feature on Sol Invictus was played at the band’s Amoeba in-store show at the of last year and we have the footage.
Possible titles are From the Shred, Surprise! You Shred; May the Shred Live and Shreds of the World.
The video immediately provokes the question – what the hell was that?
In recent interviews, the band have stated that they have 10-15 other tracks recorded but that they did not fit with the cohesive collection that is Sol Invictus. Could this be the post-SI direction that the band will focus on? Are Faith No More ready to rescue metal? Is this nu-nu-metal?
it’s a joke? really? the people would have never realised!
…..
but can’t wait to see the fallon performance, guess it’ll be superhero 🙂
Kudos boys.
Putting aside how alarmingly literal some FNM fans appear to be, can we all agree that Puffycam kicks serious ass?
Wow…some people are pretty thick! This is very funny admin but I think at some point someone needs to spoil the fun and spell it out for people….
Anyway, I’ve been checking the Amoeba Records website religiously waiting for when they put up their footage of the show like they always do, but they run about a half a year behind for some reason. Even still, that’s usually just a one-camera shot. Whoever cut this video up has access to the pro-shot and we should be hounding him for when the whole REAL thing will be shared!
Mr. Bungle them all!
hehehe
This is a “shreds” video. Not real. Very funny though.
more concerned with the fact the show looks professionally recorded…any chance of actually getting the whole show?
So… are people actually falling for this? It’s obvious it’s not real within seconds!
LOL. Indeed, it is a “shreds” parody video. This was obviously something orchestrated by the band, and hilarious at that.
If that’s the new post SI direction then I’m out! But, there seems to be sync problems with that video, it has been pasted together really well or the band just jamming. That cannot be FNM music.
Damn, that was horrible!
this is all mike patton’s fault, damn him, couldn’t keep the fantomas stuff to him self. always has to turn it into the ‘mike patton show’. thank god this isn’t on sol invictus!
The more I think about this the weirder it gets. AFAIK that footage hasn’t been released to the public, so was the video created by someone associated with Amoeba? Or even the band itself? Whoever made it did a hell of a job – it’s been pasted together from multiple songs at the performance rather than just one.
Curious about where this actually came from. I had no idea the Amoeba show was recorded – strange way to find out!
As for the song, it does sound a lot like those parody dubbed “shreds” videos..
Haha, I’m in this video! Where the hell did all this pro-shot/new footage suddenly appear from? I want to see that! All the cellphone video out there of the actual performance is pretty crappy.
One person on youtube wrote: “Peeing my pants laughing at this. The dumbfounded look on the crowds face is priceless. Can’t believe the band pulled this off with straight faces. God I’ve missed these guys!”
So hard to tell the trolls from the un-trolls.
It sounds a lot like they are just fucking around, but also sounds like We care a Lot and Introduce Yoursef…who knows?
