A few more updates as the countdown continues to the vinyl release of Faith No More’s Motherfucker on Friday.
The band tweeted and instagrammed a series of teasing pics with the new record last night:
Oh and the band have a Google Plus page too. You knew? Maybe some Google developers.
European fans may have to rely on eBay to get their hands on the Motherfucker vinyl but the Faith No More French page is surmising that the record may be available at affiliated Record Store Day stores. Here is the list.
tētēma featuring Mike Patton have released a video for their recently revealed Tenz song. Also featuring Australian Anthony Pateras, tētēma’s debut album, Geocidal, will be released on Ipecac on 9 December. Pre-order here.
Great find by Nicole on Facebook – a spectacular infographic showing Mike Patton projects in all their interconnecting journey.
Not all roses though as another slight critical review of Motherfucker has surfaced online. Stereogum’s spot-on Black Metal column is grudgingly critical: “Motherfucker” sounds exactly like Faith No More, although it lacks one important element of the band’s best material, namely, a cohesive song to accompany the sound. But “Motherfucker” should be viewed less as a comeback than a warmup, and as such, it’s an encouraging sign. When the album arrives, it will present its own set of challenges, of course, because that is what Faith No More do: They challenge. And they sound great doing so.”
A bit late to this as this has been on Twitter and Facebook for a while but Sami Zayn, a WWE wrestler, was spotted last week sporting a Real Thing t-shirt.
So here’s the question. I’ll be making the drive to the nearest record store day participating shop on Friday. I called them and they have 3 copies. This is not a major metropolitan area and I don’t expect there are a lot of diehard fans looking for this on vinyl…but I could be wrong. So, do I buy one copy and leave the other two for someone else or do I try to buy all three and sell two of them on eBay. The second option isn’t really in the spirit of record store day but I don’t want them sitting there until January when one of you guys could be enjoying them. Let me know your thoughts.
I’d like to get this vinyl even though not mad into the song – for collecting purposes only …
Actually their singles are usually my least favourite songs ie : easy , digging the grave , be aggressive
does anyone know the original price of the vinyl?
That Google+ page is more lively than I would have thought! More info on the mysterious Gimpy McMaskerson of their promo photo to be found there.
My personal guess is that he is Normandi Heuxdaflo, formerly of Le Butcherettes. Just flying by the seat of my pants on that one though.
