They reunited with a purpose and they're different and better than they've ever been. Brodeurs Nanny posted:Also, Trey was in Mr. Bungle and Patton recruited him for KFAD recording duties, but it was pretty well-known that the music wasn't Trey's cup of tea (not experimental enough for him, he wasn't really a fan of rock music either), and when he said he was leaving the band and not doing the tour, it wasn't much of a surprise.

achillesforever6 posted:And I imagine working with Patton on both Mr. Bungle along with FNM must have been a pain because as much as I love Patton he kind of seems like a guy who is a perfectionistic rear end in a top hat and can be really really petty when you slight him. I wonder if that was really the case in Bungle considering Spruance and Trevor Dunn were the more dominant songwriters.

The Real Thing and Angel Dust are getting reissued, both as double CD and double 180g vinyl versions. The extra discs contain various B-sides and rarities that have been released in the past, but hey, fancy vinyl releases.

I don't know if Bungle is coming back, but it seems like things have improved since that 2007 interview. And that song is awesome. I need a whole album of that.

It was kind-of cool seeing Chuck Mosley get up there for a song. And it was also a decent reminder of why they hired Mike Patton. But still, cool move by FNM.

Jeffe posted:The set list disappointed me... no Digging the Grave, As The Worm Turns, or Cone of Shame I still haven't listened to the leaded Sol invictus, so I don't know CoS. Digging the Grave is a cool tune, but I'd prefer to hear What a Day to that. It's just a little wackier, a little nuttier, a little faithnomorier. But skipping As the Worm Turns... yeah, I felt that. When I saw Chuck come out, I wondered if maybe we'd hear We Care a Lot or As the Worm Turns. But now, we got... Mark Bowen. Other than that, I liked the setlist. I would have liked to hear some other stuff, like Land of Sunshine, Falling to Pieces, Woodpecker from Mars, and Last Cup of Sorrow. And As the Worm Turns, of course. But, hey, what can you do? I can't get tickets to the nearest show to me (in Chicago), so this was a treat.

Yeah, I shouldn't complain, they're not coming to where I am at all. And Mark Bowen was a huge waste of Chuck, but then he was nervous and not singing his...best. Seconding Land of Sunshine and Last Cup of Sorrow too!

It ain't pretty, but here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvU6lzXVwtw Neat seeing Chuck up there, though it would've been cooler to have seen him perform a more recognizable song than that, especially since they've kept about a handful of tracks from his era in rotation, anyway. Maybe it's just his personal favorite song to perform, I dunno.

FNM were on Jimmy Fallon's Tonight Show last night. They played Superhero on a small version of their live-show stage, and for the web, they did a nice version of Easy that Jimmy requested.

It was a great ha ha song when they first played it in the nineties, but I hate that it takes a spot in every show since. It is marginally better than that Bee Gees cover that seems to get played every other show. Got to see them in Philly last night. Got to see the We care a lot-Be aggressive setlist. Very happy to get both of those. These club shows are a great start to this tour. Everyone in the place knew the lyrics to all but the new songs and the crowd karaoke-ing is pretty cool. Wish I got there in time to get a ticket for the chance to buy an autographed poster. It was planet of the Apes

http://consequenceofsound.net/2015/05/ranking-every-faith-no-more-song-from-worst-to-best/ Someone spent a lot of time making this and I still can't get over the fact that he thinks the Patton version of "As the Worm Turns" is awful. That and saying RV, Cuckoo for CaCa, Live at Brixton, and Ugly in the Morning are bad

achillesforever6 posted:I know I bring up Mr. Bungle a lot but watching those live concerts from the early 90s are great because they would just do a few of their songs and all these covers Also they start off with the intro from Slayer's Spill the Blood into Squeeze Me Macaroni. Plus the Thunderball theme around the 30 minute mark. For me, nothing beats their cover of Billy Squier's The Stroke https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O1CLGppTsNE

I really like the new record, I particularly like Cone of Shame, Separation Anxiety, and From the Dead. Co-sign on Angel Dust being the place to start, I earnestly believe it's a top 10 record for the 90's.

achillesforever6 posted:http://consequenceofsound.net/2015/05/ranking-every-faith-no-more-song-from-worst-to-best/ I saw a list like this not too long ago for Nirvana. Might have even been the same website. What's striking here is that the Nirvana list included stuff that you'd only ever think about listening to all the way through because Nirvana did it, and some of it was before they called themselves Nirvana. We're talking 5th generation bootleg cassette recordings from late night college radio station shows. And at no point does the person making the list and commenting feel the need to call anything dumb or stupid. But here, that's a recurring theme. No two lists of FNM's songs from worst to best will ever be the same, but the choices here were odd, and his inexplicable fascination with Chuck Mosley as, from what I read, the only singer talented enough to sing Chuck Mosley FNM songs, is just... wow. I mean, wow. Don't get me wrong, I like the first to FNM albums, and Chuck is part of their charm. But I can't think of a song besides maybe Anne's Song that Patton couldn't do better. Every one I've heard Patton do is better, in fact, and now that I think about it, he could make Anne's Song better if he wanted to.

Time to out myself as a fan from after Chuck departed. In fact, until a few years ago, I didn't even know who he was. I HUGE part of FNM's charm for me is Mike's ridiculous vocal stuff. I definitely love the eclectic music and the instrumentation, but for me, patton more or less makes the band what it is.
