Faith No More's final Second Coming European tour date

Faith No More play the last leg of their European tour at the Heineken Music Conference in Tel-Aviv (for the purposes of this tour Tel-Aviv is in Europe!). Here is the official site in Hebrew and here is a preview piece with some logistical details from Israeli’ newspaper Haaretz.

UPDATE: The same newspaper has just published an opinion piece on whether gig-goers should go to Faith No More or Madonna tonight. Sample quote: “So with all due respect to Madonna, if you have your mind set on seeing a real show with serious musicians, a singer with soul, and music with a message that will stay with you long after the huge video screens come down, I think you know where you have to go.”

That’s an amazing story. Seeing them live was near miraculous for me too.

What a story! :)) Is you baby already here?! A girl or a boy ( Mike maybe? 🙂 ? My story , I must admit, is less incredible, but listen: it’s July 4, I’m at Opener Festival ( Poland) and among other shows, without any special expectations ( I don’t know FNM yet- just 1 song ” Easy”, which I don’t like to much) I go to see them. AND I’M STANDING MOVELESS ALL GIG just watching and NOT BELIEVING WHAT I SEE AND HEAR!!!! The day after I’m still hypnotized and decide to see another show ASAP. After a serious phone/internet struggle I manage to buy ticket for Praha (Czech Rep.) show for August 17. 600 km drive- and i’m there. :))))). Now I’m back home and listen to different MP’s projects all the time 🙂 ( Modo Cane, Lovage, Peeping Tom,…- do you know them???) bye! 🙂 Kate

How fucking surprised am I to have seen FNM in Tel Aviv tonight?
-I live in the US
– I am in Israel for a few months with my Israeli girl friend having our baby.
– I found out a month ago FNM was playing here tonight.
– Our baby’s due date was August 27th so I didn’ t bother getting a ticket.
-Sept 1st, the baby is late, the show is sold out and my girl’s cousin has a ticket. She gave me the fucking ticket people!!!

Let me tell you that show was fucking tremendous from start to finsish. Patton’s voice has not changed in fact the dude looks like he has not aged in 20 years. I love this band. I love the music they played. And YES it was EVERYTHING you would have wanted to here. They played it ALL.

-And Patton was pimpin in a red suit.

– now i have to go and have a baby with my girl. thank you baby for holding out for daddy.

what an awesome time in my life. whoa!

As long as they take it seriously this time and all record the parts together in the same studio.What a strange way to end the last time,it was like jim all over again!

Well, now they leave for South America, then Australia, but then… ? A come back with a new album 😉

- 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. I feel like any day now we'll start hearing about shows getting cancelled. Maybe some countries have approached this virus effectively, but others have not...and it only takes a few to let... } – Mar 31, 3:52 AM
- KingCol { I’m not sure iv got that show ? Is it a full soundboard quality bootleg ? Was there ever a soundboard release of “absolute zero” live from chili ? 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 { That whole audio bootleg is good, but Paths of Glory is the standout. I guess the band felt that the crowd didn't take to it? Or maybe it is a little too difficult for Patton to sing, but they stopped playing that one and Mouth to Mouth pretty quick. } – Mar 28, 5:04 AM

On Ghost's Tobias Forge praises hard-to-define Faith No More (24)
- 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

- KingCol { Another good topic /// has any got a favorite riff , drum solo or a part of any of the bands songs that stuck with you ? 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
- Benrun { Hello KingCol…I do the exact same thing! Everyday I just look at the latest post and check the comment number. 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.

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

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
