Hey guys, i dont know if theres any fans here but i think that this news deserves its own thread.

Faith No More is BACK!

Here is the official statement:

FAITH NO MORE

Faith No More has always stood out as some sort of unique beast; part dog, part cat--its music almost as schizophrenic as the personalities of its members. When it all worked, it worked really well, even if the chemistry was always volatile. Throughout our 17years of existence, the mental and physical energy required to sustain this creature was considerable and relentless. Though amicable enough, when we finally split, we all followed paths seemingly destined to opposite ends of the universe.

Yet during the entire 10 years that have passed since our decision to break up we've experienced constant rumors and requests from fans and promoters alike. Nevertheless, for whatever reason, none of us kept in regular touch, much less to discuss any possibilities of getting together.

What's changed is that this year, for the first time, we've all decided to sit down together and talk about it. And what we've discovered is that time has afforded us enough distance to look back on our years together through a clearer lens and made us realize that through all the hard work, the music still sounds good, and we are beginning to appreciate the fact that we might have actually done something right.

Meanwhile we find ourselves at a moment in time with zero label obligations, still young and strong enough to deliver a kickass set, with enthusiasm to not only revisit our past but possibly add something to the present. And so with this we've decided to hold our collective breaths and jump off this cliff....
BACK, GOD FORBID, INTO THE MONKEY CAGE!!!

We can only hope that the experience of playing together again will yield results erratic and unpredictable enough to live up to the legacy of FNM.
Who know where this will end or what it will bring up...only the future knows. But we are about to find out!

FAITH NO MORE are:
Mike Bordin, Roddy Bottum, Bill Gould, Jon Hudson and Mike Patton

excellent cheers for posting
YAY! Love 'em.

Seen them a few times. Caused chaos once at the NEC (in about 92?) when us guest listers (blaggers) tossed all the cushions from the unoccupied seats at the side onto the stage and started a makeshift bunfight with them that spread like wildfire to the whole audience (long story, involving FNM, the band my ex worked for, a lot of tequila and some undisputable camaraderie).... that was the best time ever. L7 Supported. Good times.


Actually, trying to check the year, stumbled across this. That bloody bunfight is mentioned. Claytown Troupe and 'Tim did it' lives on!
 
I really cant put into words how excited i am, buy the sounds of it if they dont all kill eachother they could actually record a new album!

I really think it would be awesome, they've still all got so much talent.

If its even half as good as Angel Dust i will be ecstatic.
 
If this is an apocalypse, then call me Mrs. Apocalypse.

I saw this, and considered going to Download Festival this year as they are headlining. Lack of money, and wanting to live in Edinburgh for the Fringe this year dictates that I can't...
 
damn that sucks, if i was in england i would have gone for sure 🙁

Anyway, this is the kind of awesomeness we will be seeing in about 3 months.
