Don't Hold Your Breath For A New FAITH NO MORE Album

Faith No More 2012

Ever since Faith No More's return to the stage at 2009's Download Festival, the world's love affair with the band has been reignited. There has been a steady stream of touring ever since, and maybe, possibly, even a new song the band worked on. Naturally, the question becomes "will we ever hear a new album from Faith No More?" In a recent interview, Mike Patton basically shut that thought process down. (more…)

Mike Patton Is The Only White Boy Who Could Get Away With Covering "Niggas In Paris"

YouTube Preview Image

If you follow hip hop at all, certainly you are aware of the Jay-Z and Kanye West collaboration, Watch The Throne. Living in New York City, the album has been inescapable, especially the biggest single from the album, "Niggas In Paris." I have to admit, the silly beat is incredibly infectious and has gotten stuck in my head more than once. Clearly, it's had an effect on Mike Patton as well, who's been whipping out his own rendition of the song on tour, and, as usual, nailing it. Patton loves pop, as evidenced by FNM covering Lady Gaga a few years ago, when "Poker Face" was all the rage. Kudos, Mike!

So Maybe That Wasn't A New FAITH NO MORE Song After All.

YouTube Preview Image

This is a bit of a bummer, turns out that song we posted yesterday which we hoped was a new song is really just a b-side. In a recent interview with Movie Web, frontman Mike Patton was asked if he would be playing any B-Sides when they played their album King for a Day… Fool for a Lifetime in full in Chile and he responded “We are doing a tune we’ve never done from that era. I guess that would be a B Side. I don’t know if we released that at all… I don't know!” So chances are, that's that song they played. The intrepid interviewer also asked if there is any possiblity of new Faith No More material, which Patton answered honestly: (more…)

Is This A New FAITH NO MORE Song?

YouTube Preview Image

Faith No More played a show in Buenos Aires, Argentina last night, and during the set performed the above unrecognizable song. Could this be a new Faith No More song? A NEW FAITH NO MORE SONG??? I never thought I'd write that again. I'm so excited I just can't hide it. Watching the video made me reminisce about last summer's amazing performance by the band here in NYC and how I feel like I need to see these guys AGAIN! Now if you excuse me, I'm going to go watch their entire set from Download Fest 2009.

FAITH NO MORE at Coachella 2010: Reunited And It Feels So Good!

By: Shannon Joy

I've spent most summers of my adult life running the festival circuit throughout Europe, though oddly enough, I've never experienced their American counterparts until this weekend.  Coachella 2010 marked my first large-scale festival on American soil, and while I only took part in Saturday's festivities, I was utterly impressed by the entire production.

Truth be told, the newly reformed FAITH NO MORE are, in complete entirety, what drew me to Coachella this year.  Although many other bands that I love performed over the weekend (BARONESS, THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN), none were nearly as anticipated.  And while Coachella wasn't necessarily the impetus for FAITH NO MORE's reunion, they did use the event to mark their official US return, flashing "FAITH NO MORE: Second Coming" in anticipation prior to their set.

FAITH MORE MORE invite Chuck Mosley on stage (Bootleg Available)

YouTube Preview Image

When I saw there was video footage of Faith No More inviting up original vocalist Chuck Mosley up on stage for a few old tunes at their San Fransisco reunion gig last night, I got excited. After all, We Care A Lot is definitely one of my favorite records by FNM, and I assumed it would be a cool moment. Apparently, nobody informed Chuck that this wasn't a practice, but the actual gig as the dude looks like he could care less about being there and moved maybe 2 feet for the whole performance. Dude, wake up! Anyway, I can't wait to see the band at their Brooklyn shows in July and like my boy Axl at Metalsucks said "I seriously hope they leave Mosley in SF. ‘Cause as much as I like this song, I always thought it sounded better with Mike Patton. The way pretty much everything sounds better with Mike Patton."

Watch a ton more bootleg videos from their SF reunion over here.

CD review: THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN, Option Paralysis

By Ben Apatoff

According to founding guitarist BEN WEINMAN, the title of THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN's new album means "being in a situation where you have so many choices you can’t decide, and end up being frozen." It sounds like the kind of curse that plenty of headbangers wish on DEP every time they make a record that isn't Calculating Infinity.

For a band that people supposedly appreciate for pushing boundaries, every hint of tunefulness (or really anything that doesn't sound like a drill going through your eardrums) that the band explores gets hit with gripes about going soft. This phenomena won't stop with Option Paralysis–the short noisecore blasts of Ire Works have been traded for more structured songs, and all ten tracks are balanced by melodic exchanges and clean singing. Your loss, kvltists, because Option Paralysis is an awesomely dark, weird and aggressive record that every metalhead should be listening to this month. (more…)

So much new music, so little time. Here is a roundup of some music that has made it's way online in the last few days:

Party thrashes MUNICPAL WASTE have posted a new track on their Myspace page. Their new CD, Massive Aggressive (which I can't wait for) comes out August 25th. Get psyched!

FAITH NO MORE might someday actually, possibly, maybe, hopefully reunite…

So nothing's set in stone or tattooed on Jim Martin's ass (as far as we know,) but Blabbermouth reports that U.K.'s Kerrang! reports that some industry folks reported that some U.K. venues are on hold for the band's comeback, set for this upcoming spring. More on that, courtesy of BM:

Kerrang! understands that a number of U.K. venues have been placed on hold for shows from the band next spring, while U.K. festival appearances are rumored to follow in the summer. Founding bassist Bill Gould played down the speculation, telling Kerrang! "If anything like this were to happen, it would have to come from the band, and I haven't spoken with any of them in over a year. So as far as I know, there isn't anything to talk about, and I'm pretty sure that if you were to contact [Mike] Patton [vocals], he would tell you the same thing."

OK, so beggars can't be choosers, this might not even happen, yadda yadda, but just in case:

1. Please invite back Mike Patton (though Chuck Mosley can tag along)
2. Please invite back Jim Martin (though those other guitarists can tag along)
3. Please don't pull an Emperor and play only two US shows in tiny venues for $60 a head.
4. Please be awesome.
