Faith No More have released the video for Cone of Shame, the second official video from their Sol Invictus album, w.
“This is one of those tracks that had to be a video, really, because it lends itself so much to visual imagery. Given the song’s sense of Americana, it would have been easy to shoot this in Arizona or New Mexico, but having been to Macedonia several times, there’s a vibe there that I felt wouldn’t be out of place as a backdrop to this song. Goce Cvetanovski, as a director, understood this immediately; he knew exactly what to do with it, and along with an amazing cast, has managed to create something very dark, and beautifully cinematic.”
And the band confirmed that a limited edition “Cone of Shame” 7″ will be available on 25 November; with pre-order information available soon.
Yeah, it’s hard to pick any video other than Last Cup of Sorrow as their best video. It is easily the best, while From Out of Nowhere is easily the worst!
I’ve always been a big fan of the last cup of sorrow video too. The band hasn’t been in their last 4 videos starting with I started a joke…hopefully next time.
Actually, I take it back…Separation Anxiety is completely and totally awesome. I just watched CoS & SA back to back. CoS is really good but SA is something else.
this no show from the band wont cut it. its obvious Billy is willing to do everything for the promotion of the record but others don’t seem to be as involved unfortunately. the song doesn’t fit the clip at all but it looks good and seedy to fit the mood of the song. interesting that the band decided to promote the record 12 months after the Sunny Side Up single and the Seperation Anxiety videos. and also, this is an E.P? if theres unreleased songs on it then what a shame it wont be released on cd!
For me it comes in somewhere in the middle of the pack for FNM videos. I love the Separation Anxiety video, and Sunny Side Up. Like the song, this video picks up a lot in the 2nd half, and the colors and acting are great. I was really hoping though that was going to be Billy getting off the motorcycle! A band cameo would have added a lot.
The Amazon listing for the release has been taken down…go figure
Isn’t it really their 3rd official video off the album since Separation Anxiety was officially adopted by the band…right??
Wow!! May be their best video ever!…maybe…
