Links for a day…(vol. 114)

Happy Thanksgiving to all our US readers and there’s reason to give thanks today for the rest of the world too.
The fnm4ever blog has come with the nifty idea of a Faith No More online museum. I’ll be sending some pics their way myself.
A clever soundcloud mixing app – enter Faith No More and mix away to your heart’s content. Add your best mixes below in the comments and I’ll post them later. (via mbungle on Twitter).
More and more Faith No More full-length concerts are popping up on YouTube. Here’s the latest – the Bizarre festival from 1997:
You can now pre-order the new album from Roddy’s Imperial Teen. Check them out below:
What do Justin Bieber, Glee and Mike Patton have in common? They’re all featured in this New York Times review of Christmas releases.
And a final video or series of videos. The whole of Faith No More’s show at the Olympia in São Paulo in September 1991. Details here.

Damnn that Bizarre fest. was awesome! especially I Started A Joke , Pristina and Ashes To Ashes where Patton sang his heart out!!
Gill Rockatansky November 26, 2011 at 12:14 pm

Ignore integra’s post, it is some footage of Billy Ocean, like they’re trying to create a new meme (with 6 views so far). Pathetic really.

Anyway, the live stream that Ti Mort mentioned is at http://www.viax.cl/?p=45964 though there is no mention of FNM on the page at the moment.

Shakey,
Patton sang Faster Disco once to my knowledge, it was on 8-28-1990 in Germany. It was rather comical, as he “I don’t know the words” several times and then “and we want the song to end”. Having heard the Patton version, I have to say that I like Chuck’s versions better. In the show, Billy asks the audience if they want to hear a song they haven’t played in 3 years that will probably suck, or a song they play really well, and the audience goes for the ‘shitty’ one. They then proceed to also play The Jungle, Greed, R’N R, Blood, Why Do You Bother, Pills For Breakfast, etc. It’s a great show but the audio has an annoying high pitch to it. I have to give you an amen also…Faster Disco is my favorite song from IY, which is also my favorite album. I’d have to say that Midlife Crisis is my favorite song from them overall though.

HEY ADMIN…it seems as though part 2 of the Maquinaria Festival will be aired on line (via x) tomorrow at 8pm eastern time. Down Alice in Chains and then FNM….if this is so this will be one for the history books!!!!!!!!! Just thought you would want to know….like you don’t already….
shakey November 25, 2011 at 5:43 pm

Off topic, but have they ever played Faster Disco live with Patton? This is my favorite song on Introduce Yourself and I have never seen any video with Patton singing it. It would also be really cool if they were to sneak it in at some future gig,
Mikeless November 25, 2011 at 8:58 am

Remixes suck. Anyway, it’s funny how I tend to enjoy the hell out of FNM performing songs from AOTY LIVE, especially when compare to the studio album. Sure there’s a FEW great songs on that thing, but overall it ranks as my least favorite FNM album musically. But their performances from their last tour in the ’90s were dynamite! very powerful & aggressive indeed. Mike never sounded better vocally as his crooner idols.
fernetpunker November 25, 2011 at 2:31 am

I got Bizarre on DVD. Very energetic aggressive performance. Love the suits 🙂
Agata November 25, 2011 at 2:20 am

Bizzare gig is also one of my favourities. Love “Just a man” – always burst me into tears.
Gill Rockatansky November 24, 2011 at 10:41 pm

Here is a whole album of Patton related remixes.

Found a good FNM/Beck/Pendulum mix, which surprised me – a lot of the FNM mashups are truly dire.

Some of those mashups on the Soundcloud mixing app. are fun. The covers… not so much. There’s one thing I learned in my high school cover band: never try to cover FNM because you’ll just come off sounding pathetic in comparison.
benrun November 24, 2011 at 12:08 pm

I love Paths of Glory and Mouth To Mouth live, luckily have the audio of the few shows with those. This Bizarre Fest has always been one of my favorite shows by them. I think it has my favorite version of Epic…alot of energy. The 97 tour has a lot of great soundboard bootlegs.
mark November 24, 2011 at 7:43 am

Big thanks for the full show, something about the album of the year shows that make them fantastic viewing. Still hoping they dust off naked sat in front of the computer at some point, it sounds completely different live (and much better imo than the studio version).

- Benrun { Well, FNM continues their Florida boycott, so instead I'm flying to Texas. But I got tickets for Dallas, then Austin, then Houston. So I'll also be driving a lot and following them like a groupie. I would have much preferred to see them with Helmet, but if I fly somewhere it has to be a weekend and I want to get my money's worth, so Texas worked best. I hope Korn plays last so I can leave early! I was lucky that my mother had the presale credit card...if not for that I probably would have completely missed out. What... } – Feb 19, 1:48 PM
- Benrun { For me, I think it's neat that they did it. But it's death metal / hardcore music...it can only be interesting for so long. I'd say they did very well. I kind of think that Patton is gravitating to that style of music more lately because he has a little more struggle in his voice tone. The Corpse Flower had very little singing on it, mostly talking. Singing big choruses instead of screaming them in FNM will be a test. } – Feb 12, 1:59 AM

Next, fans speculate on all the cool possibilities...all of which are cooler than what ultimately gets announced. They need to just put the information out and stop the nonsense. Who wants to go see FNM play a probably abbreviated set as 3rd billing to somewhat 1-note style bands? (no offense Helmet). By the way, in a week or so, I have an announcement to make!

- 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

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.

- 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

(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” .

- 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
