Faith No More to play Gurtenfestival in Switzerland

The Gurtenfestival in Bern has just confirmed that Faith No More will headline their July festival. Faith No More will play on Friday 16 July, alongside The Gossip and Rodrigo y Gabriela. FNM 2.0 is very pleased about this as Bern is only 90 minutes down the motorway; still hoping they play Paleo the following week though.

Get your one-day ticket for just 80 Swiss francs here.

Great news for the US fans. Roddy just tweeted: FNM play NY!!!! Williamsburg Waterfront, Brooklyn, July 5! special presale March 16/10amET, we’ll tweet a special password that morning.
Mike'79 March 10, 2010 at 11:12 am

Merci, Miss C. 🙂 Greetings to You.

Bern is in the German speaking area but no so far from the French-speaking part so there should be plenty of Romands there comme moi.
Agata March 9, 2010 at 11:31 am

Happy ther’re so many fans from Poland. Gig in Atlas Arena will be fabulous for me 🙂
Firsa March 9, 2010 at 3:16 am

OT, but perhaps admin can post the news on Patton’s Mondo Cane release? There is some cover art he seems to be proud of, but I can’t view it from Stubbadub. Not as interesting as his naughty bits, apparently, but still worth mentioning…

So glad I tickets to the Warfield shows. Traveling 2000+ miles will be worth every penny. I had a feeling that there wasn’t any guarantee of U.S. tour so I am going to ‘Frisco!!
Wanderlusting March 8, 2010 at 9:54 pm

Shakey – not necessarily.

Even though time is running out, there is still a chance for them to announce some US dates for the remainder of April and start of May (like a few NYC shows). June seems to be an “off month” for them, with Patton doing other stuff.

July will be another European assault, which means maybe end of August or September they could make the US tour happen.

OR Coachella and Warfield could be their US tour. But that’s pretty silly…might as well call it the Cali Tour.

Vive la Suisse !!!
Do you know if they’re some french speakers in Berne ? Yaaaay, I love neighbouring countries !!! Greetings to the Polish FNMers here !!!
Firsa March 8, 2010 at 7:26 pm

They should throw down a few side shows too, if only for the more interesting concert posters.
shakey March 8, 2010 at 5:38 pm

Well it looks like it’s official, U.S. out Europe in for this summer. Bummer, I really wanted my son to see them but S.F. was just too far for me to travel.
Thomas March 8, 2010 at 5:27 pm

OMG ! An idea of coming FNM to Lodz! To my home city! YES, YES, YES if you only read this remember about Lodz in Poland planning your european tour! We are waiting! I’d love to hear such great performance of Caffeine again, as it was in Gdynia!:):) But this time come to Lodz:)
Seba March 8, 2010 at 5:12 pm

That would be awesome, FNM coming to my city 😀 The only problem is a lack of big festival suitable for FNM now in Poland, Opener doesn’t invite bands from previus 2 years, but I’ve got nothing against non-festival concert 😉
Vitzeq March 8, 2010 at 3:37 pm

POLAND IS WAITING ON YOU GUYS!!! We have a spectacular Sport Hall for You, it`s called ATLAS ARENA in LODZ!!! The greatest Fans are waiting!!
Tomasz March 8, 2010 at 3:29 pm

O yeah!!! If you only read this guys:) come to visit us in Lodz (Atlas Arena):) POLAND IS WAITING ON YOU !!!
Mike'79 March 8, 2010 at 1:50 pm

Another tour dates in Europe? Great! Hope to see FNM in Poland again… for example in Atlas Arena (in Lodz) 🙂

I was gutted that I missed the Greenfield festival in Interlaken last year, as that’s one of my favourite festivals in Europe (and the most beautiful location for any festival I’ve been to) so returning to Switzerland for a couple of festivals will be good. I love Switzerland, it’s one of my favourites countries.

faith is still just the beginning of the European tour .They are irreplaceable for me.

I predicted the Australia / NZ tour cancel (reschedule) announcement the day before...I'm calling it that you will see the Brushfire Benefit cancellation notice within a few days, and the start of the UK/Europe cancellations.

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.

- 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

There's so many things about this band that have never made it to print or photos, people haven't seen there's a lot of dimensions here.

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. I haven't messaged with him in a while though, I should check in. } – Jan 25, 2:50 AM

(on a side bragging note , I was also lucky enough to attend the gig in Dublin in the Olympia with a capacity of just 1200) As everyone else mentioned here already, the other obvious stand out tracks are “the morning after” and “under water love” .

The Real Thing is still one of the greatest rock songs ever. Pure perfection, an all-time favorite. } – Jan 23, 12:12 AM
- Rob { Podcast 2 a success!! Please don’t feel the need to speed up your analysis. I’ll totally be happy with a 3 or 4 hour analysis of TRT. My own notes on the TRT: 1. 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
