Links for a day…(vol. 53)

A very short post today as it has all gone quiet in FNM world.

Vote for Faith No More in MTV’s March Madness silliness (via Mike Bolger in comments)
Unusual mash-up of Epic and The Soggy Bottom Boys‘ Man of Constant Sorrow from DJ Pozsi.
Latest on Mondo Cane from the The Gauntlet though I’m not sure about the source or the age of the quote: “My purpose in revisiting these pieces is not to relive the past, not for nostalgia, but more to illustrate through modern and adventurous interpretation exactly how vital and important this music still is.”

I’m so excited for the Warfield show…its gonna be my first time seeing Faith No More! (I was 6 when they broke up…).

JDub, sorry for bothering you with yet another question about the Warfield, but I’ve never been there. Our seats are in the Front row of the upper loge. How is the view from there? I hope its good…I don’t want to be behind a pillar for my first FNM show!

Less than 3 weeks away from the Warfield trifecta…..maybe the unveiling of new material?
JDub March 23, 2010 at 8:54 pm

Sweet, I need to drink that drink! I’ll be the douche in the Bill and Ted shirt with the mildly annoyed wife.

JDUB…your awesome. Thanks man!! I need to buy you a drink!!!!
JDub March 23, 2010 at 7:20 pm

Oh yeah it’s seated, and stadium seating at that, so you don’t have to worry about someone with a fat head in front of you
ti mort 25 March 23, 2010 at 7:16 pm

Thanks JDUB!!! My excitment/blood pressure level just went through the roof. Are there actual seats in the balcony? That may sound like a stupid question…but general admission balcony (if that even exists) would be a freakin nightmare!!!! Anyhoo, thanks for the information. GUYS I AM SO EXCITED…I JUST CAN’T BELIEVE IT !!!!!! IT’S BEEN SINCE 1996…IN TORONTO!!!!!! I hope they have some good merch and a WARFIELD POSTER would be RAD!!!!!!!

Nicely put. We will revisit those old Warfield shows in the next few weeks so all reminiscences gratefully received.
JDub March 23, 2010 at 5:11 pm

You’ll be happy how close you are to the stage, not so happy about how high you are. Still the best balcony I’ve seen at a venue. Anybody else going for the cycle at the warfield? 1-20-93 4-24-95 10-6-97 4-14-10. Young first time fans are in for a treat, you tube clips are not the real thing
ti mort 25 March 23, 2010 at 1:30 pm

Hey Admin,

Glad to see things are back up and running. I felt lost not being able to comment. 20 DAYS until Warfield. The COUNTDOWN is on my friends!!!!! Does anybody know anything about the balcony seating at the Warfield theatre? I have balcony tickets for Tuesday. Just wondering what I’m in for!!!!!

Hoping this might mean they are rehersing new material for new release (album) and tour.
FNM need to tour Australia again very soon. On fire live and happy to be back together (I saw them in Perth) so all signs are looking up 🙂

- 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

- 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

Iv never met any of the band and If it wasn’t too much hassle I’d have some questions i would forward to you that perhaps they wouldn’t mind trying to answer at their own volition of course..

But then you look back and see that the humour is overshadowing other things, and you realise it can't be that way all the time. 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 wondered where the origins of that laugh came from because it always sounded familiar as if from a particular tv show or film character.

- 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

- Mark Rago { Ironically enough, I made a comment on a thread on YouTube yesterday where I razzed a lady a bit through the lyrics of the song in question ( I believe it was a Fantomas video, but I'm not certain of the song title), replying "Shut Up" to a humorous comment she made challenging anyone to give her crap for being a die-hard Mike Patton fan. 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

- Benrun { Podcast 4 about IY? Favorite song would be Anne's Song, followed by Faster Disco. But I love every song on the album. 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. This album has so much tongue in cheek but... } – Feb 08, 3:05 AM

- KingCol { I still watch video croissant on my vcr .. I love the live footage of the bottle throwing and i loved the everything’s ruined video at the time too .. The best thing about phoinex 93 is the fact that the audio was released long before the shaky footage was synced together. I listened to that audio for years and had so many questions about that show that the video answered... I think it was hot Canada who actually shared the show with me in exchange for the Slane 92 bootleg .. } – Feb 01, 10:59 PM
- Benrun { The earplugs comment came from me, I sort of chastised him with my facial expression over that one...it was backstage at Detroit 2015 that he told me that. Somehow we got on it because I work as a Speech Language Pathologist and had almost become an Audiologist. Great observation about the nasal shrillness cutting through. I feel like the keyboards remained harsher all the way through the AOTY tour and were more tame in the mix on the reunion shows, I missed the old harsher sound. One of the greatest things about the Phoenix Festival show in 93 is how... } – Jan 30, 4:25 AM
On Listen to episode 2 of Podcast Croissant, the Faith No More podcast (6)
- Benrun { KingCol, I email back and forth with that member regularly and have definitely benefitted from the connection because they have been a very generous trader of bootlegs. 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
- KingCol { The real thing song itself is such a wonderful composition - I was blown away by the live donnington reunion version .. (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” . Ps : there is a loyal faith no more fan base here who continually comment on the various updates... was anyone here a member of the website “dime a dozen” I... } – Jan 24, 9:29 PM
- Emayan { Episode 2 was awesome! So much fun to go back over this classic of an album. Not a weak song on it...including Underwater Love (what an outro) and The Morning After (what an intro). 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
