EXCLUSIVE VIDEO: From the Shred?: New Faith No More song surfaces; may be played on Jimmy Fallon

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?
Benrun May 13, 2015 at 1:32 pm

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.
rarelust May 13, 2015 at 6:55 am

more concerned with the fact the show looks professionally recorded…any chance of actually getting the whole show?
GOB May 13, 2015 at 3:58 am

So… are people actually falling for this? It’s obvious it’s not real within seconds!
Outshined39 May 13, 2015 at 3:25 am

LOL. Indeed, it is a “shreds” parody video. This was obviously something orchestrated by the band, and hilarious at that.
Ty May 13, 2015 at 2:05 am

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.
Victor May 12, 2015 at 11:19 pm

Damn, that was horrible!
bob May 12, 2015 at 11:07 pm

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!
David Frame May 12, 2015 at 8:58 pm

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.
David Frame May 12, 2015 at 8:30 pm

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..
stumbletrip May 12, 2015 at 8:11 pm

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.
Felipe May 12, 2015 at 6:11 pm

It sounds a lot like they are just fucking around, but also sounds like We care a Lot and Introduce Yoursef…who knows?

- 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
- Benrun { Agreed. On live bootlegs, Jim does a great job of take a 1/2 measure he and there to add in a little solo fill. On WCAL, Midlife, Epic, he works in great little bits. } – Feb 28, 3:13 AM

The band hasn’t been able to fill that guitar level of greatness. And it probably would have went unnoticed only for the malfunctioning mic. Maybe he consciously upped his game on recognition of the loss of vocals. Wasn’t much of a dean menta fan... } – Feb 27, 7:03 PM

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.

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

It was a really good album that I think just didn't get enough attention or sell well enough.

- Benrun { So Jim can take credit for all the music for Jizzlobber and for going out and recording that swamp cricket sample in the beginning by himself. Bill Gould wrote the keyboard outro. Interestingly during live sets, while Roddy mimes playing it, it actually one long sample that he plays...this is clear from that one clip where Patton totally tackles Roddy and his keyboard and they are out of commission, but the outro plays out just fine!

- Benrun { That's a good way of putting it...I agree Patton gave FNM a 5th instrument that was as strong as the others, the winning hand. Chuck served to set the mood and feel of the band for years to come however...that sardonic, witty, theatrical, and emotional balance. What Chuck had in his delivery was the conviction of his personal feelings and the best his voice could do (which wasn't that much for sure). With Patton, I don't doubt his conviction to the songs and I enjoy his lyrics better than Chuck's in many songs, but he's in character and detached, even... } – Dec 23, 11:05 PM
