F**k me! Faith No More to gig in Europe in 2009!

Tabnabs · 24-02-2009 10:55pm #1

But is the news true? MTV News contacted Patton's publicist, who told us that yes, the Faith No More reunion is happening ... and no, they're not going to be playing any dates in the U.S. (sorry, Coachella fans). This is will be a strictly European affair.

Best f**kin' news I've heard all day!!!!!

I saw FNM years ago, I think it was Reading Festival, I will defo be keeping an ear to the ground about tour dates.

Shame Layne Staley can't be resurrected as I would love to see AIC live again as well.

Bloody hell,t ats a bit of a shocker! Would be awesome if they got Jim Martin back in

Dudess · 25-02-2009 12:24pm

Moved from Alternative & Indie, seeing as Faith No More are not alternative/indie.

Great news if true though - FNM were brilliant. And Mike Patton - phwoar! Although I doubt the years have been kind to him. He was starting to look a little rough round the edges even in his late 20s/early 30s.

41 years old and he is still a big ride

Great news about FNM reforming, hopefully we get a gig here

woo thats class news.

Shred · 25-02-2009 2:40pm

Deadly, c'mon now boys - play Dublin! I always regret not seeing them in the Top Hat in '90 but I did manage to see them steal the show at Slane in '92.

edit: wrong year for TH

This news pleases Morbo.

Wow, this came "from out of nowhere".

No Jim Martin so I heard which is a shame but still great news.
Saw them at Slane where they did steal the show and then saw them at the point with L7 and they were class aswell...

dcr22B · 25-02-2009 4:00pm

Sure looks like it could be "The Real Thing".

Fond memories as a 14 year old at Slane '92!

jim o doom · 25-02-2009 4:02pm

even if they don't play dublin ill fly wherever i have to, to get to see them.no doubt about that.

Dudess · 25-02-2009 5:22pm

It would be a small victory for fans if the news is true...

Oh god how I wanted to go to that Slane. I was a big-time indie kid back then (still am - well, indie adult) but I also loved rock and metal.

120_Minutes · 25-02-2009 10:26pm

i've never seen them.

time to change that.

this year is all about bands i've never seen before:

FNM

mars volta

porcupine tree.

NIBBS · 25-02-2009 10:31pm

would love to see them alright........but I find the whole Jim Martin thing a bit annoying, if you're doing a reunion you should at least ask the guy - and he's into doing it, so he's stunned too.......very odd - normal Patton behaviour though.......he is a strange kid...... :-)

Motley Crue · 25-02-2009 10:32pm

this is incredible! cant believe it!

London to eh?

I'm gonna have to wait a lil while longer for TMV, they playing here when I'm away, so will travel for their own show.

Faith No More...well, yes, I very much so look forward to that.

IamMetaldave · 26-02-2009 11:54am

I was there.....Band stopped in the middle of Midlife Crisis and Patton garbled on about eggs and Jurrasic Park.........and the push up routine when they came on to the final countdown.......probably the best live band ever.........

lord lucan · 26-02-2009 11:54pm

i'll fly anywhere to see this!!! pity big jim isn't involved but at least the rest are on board. seen 'em at slane,the point and sunstroke,absolutely amazing live!

my credit card's gonna get battered this summer:eek:

Catari Jaguar · 27-02-2009 12:20am

Ooooh!! Yay!! I wonder if they'll play at Donnington???

tony 2 tone · 27-02-2009 11:28am

Yay! *does happy dance* Well, thats the holiday planned for this year, where ever the hell they are playing!

Creature · 27-02-2009 2:38pm

Pretty sweet. I probably wont get to any of their gigs, but good news nonetheless.

NIBBS · 28-02-2009 12:44pm

well both Download and SwedenRock are having big announcements on Monday - so it's quite possible they'll be there......

Yeah, theres a countdown clock on Download site for 3rd headliner announcement, and its been quoted that we'll '**** our pants' at the announcement. In saying that, they prob mean Green Day or something:O But in reality, its either FNM, NIN or Rammsteain...has to be.
