An interesting ad has appeared over the weekend on two stage recruitment forums for Epic, a musical based on the music of Faith No More seemingly to take place in Melbourne, Australia.
(Cheers to Integra for unearthing this gem)
The ad in the Ausband/Melband forum reads:

I think he means “possibly in the future”. It leaves some hope in the air that FNM will return again someday, maybe in a few years or sooner, so their show in Santiago will be the last of Second Coming Tour, and no the last of FNM’s career. I hope so! 🙂
Cheers from Brazil!
WHAT THE HELL….Roddy tweets: we fucking love Brazil. It’s a people near and dear to us all. Hopefully we’ll make it there again someday. How could this even be possible if Santiago is their last show…..WTF?????
I also believed that Puffy quit.
Found this trailer of solitude of prime numbers on YouTube:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3K4JwdW2Q44&feature=related
It seems like the first song could be made by Mike Patton, but somehow it feels like I’ve heard it before…
Whoa whoa whoa……..it is all starting to make sense…..now ADMIN maybe you can answer this one…..I was under the assumption that Puffy quit OZZY….now I am hearing that he was let go by OZZY….SO…..which one is it…does anyone know for sure. I can to the SAD realization today that they aren’t going to do another album…and that this really is the end of Faith No MOre….forever….it all feels so final…..anyway ….ADMIN can you answer my question regarding PUFFY….and can you tell us about the now seemingly pointless Q and A?
Just read an article from Roddy stating that they had talked about a new album…but it just didn’t seem right……it sounds like it really is the end…the only way to know for sure is if they play a new one in Santiago….highly unlikely…but not out of the question…..WHAT IS IT??? THE END KIDDIES…THAT WHAT!!!!
Maybe I’m out of touch here…but….wern’t we all really excited about the Qand A due to the prospect of a new album…or at least these 5 fabulous individuals carrying on…now that it seems to be wrapping up…I find myself not really caring about the interview…unless of course they throw a huge curve ball in their somewhere? Admin….can you give us a date….a month….a year…when this interview will surface…sorry to keep harping but…come on…has the interview already happened….or is that the hold up? A part of me seriously thinks they are [email protected]@ing with all of us……or maybe that’s wishful thinking………….
Anyone know where to buy the soundtrack to the movie?
Does anyone know if the sloitude of prime numbers is going to put out a soundtrack…I want to hear Patton’s composition. Admin…I’ve noticed that you are deceptively quiet when asked about the Q and A….is that because…perhaps……not all has been revealed….I feel like you know something we don’t…..I seriously hope that is the case…..PLEASE DROP US A HINT ANYTHING…ONE WORD FOR GOD SAKE……..PLEASE….
No, but I read the book (English translation) but that doesn’t really count.
The film solitude of prime numbers, featuring music from Mike Patton has been released. Anyone seen it or heard the music?

That previous comment followed on from another previous comment that is not yet up on screen, which is why it makes no sense whatsoever!
…but i’ve got the surf now so not complaining!
Damn…have spent my entire life in Melbourne. Moved away a couple of months ago just for a simpler life. This sort of thing is what makes me homesick. As well as the greatest sport in the world (it really is!!), the music culture is huge, and importantly, full of variety. The one thing that I miss from home is the diversity of music, especially in terms of bars/clubs/pubs.
Ahhh that is such an awesome idea!! As long as it is done well!! I will have to go and check this out…just a little plane or boat trip north…should be fun!
Interesting they are limiting participation to Victorians…
I’m going to audition for this. I have all the same basses as Bill Gould and know all the songs. but really, a lot of these type of things pop up on that website and never eventuate.
I will keep you guys posted.
Hope someone’ll record it 🙂
That’s hilarious! I’d love to see it!
I’m very………
…………….nervous.
Yeah baby, that’s my home town right there.
THIS IS AMAZING!!!
ahahahaha
Oh boy, can’t believe it’s true!! I love that hahahahah 😀
damn, what a news!!! 😀
very curious about it!!!
