I actually feel quite guilty for this because it speaks volumes about me as a fanboy as they were only made available a couple of days ago, but I want a pair of these.

You saw 'Footwear' in the page title and feared the worst I presume :pac:. Well, I am actually considering purchasing both a pair of Hi-Tops and Low-Tops, for warm and cold weather, y'know?I'm slightly disappointed but at the same time relieved that they turned to be shoes rather than jocks

I'm only 20 and have only been listening to them for 4 years or so, but I fell in love with Angel Dust the first time I heard it. Massive fan of The Real Thing and King For A Day too, although I think Trey Spruance did a brilliant job on KFAD, there was something not quite right without Jim Martin's guitar tone. I'm not a Martin fanboy but I think ye know what I mean. But my all time favourite member is Puffy. An absolute legend in the drumming world, and a legend in real life, managed to meet him outside the Olympia in 2009 (a gig many of you were also at ) and he came out, shook our hands, told us we looked absolutely freezing and signed our tickets. Got his autograph framed on my wall
Being good, it gets you stuff! 0 -

Just watching the Alive Festival 2010 DVD. Live version's of their tune's are just fúcking amazing. The Real Thing live is animal, such a powerfull song. I hope to fúck that they at least play live again in the next few years. The Talking Book album by Bill Gould ain't half bad either. Defo worth a listen.
Sure they've officially broken up now for the last time, so that was their last tour.. so Billy Gould says anyway

Still not sure how to embed but I love the way they speed up the songs live! Patton messing with your one is absolutely hilarious! 0 -

This is what the man has to say recently
Bill also talks about the Faith No More reunion:
“I was just hoping that we could focus and actually do a good job and I think the way it worked out it was much much better than I would have expected. I would say it kind of….hmm, let me think. I would say it was just a really positive thing. As far as doing it again, I would love to. I think that if we’re gonna keep playing though, there’s a certain point where you have to bring something alive, bring something new. And it has to be a creative experience.
“It was great playing the old songs and getting back together as people, but I think we have to take it somewhere forward if we were gonna do it again.”
I stand corrected, cheers for that . I thought when I saw them they sort of lacked the physical power of what they had in the early 90's etc but it wasn't lacking in skill, it was like a more classier version of them, with the suits and the velvet backdrop.. and Puffy wearing a vest :P not sure what i'm typing makes sense.. I'd give my left nut to have seen them circa 91-93. But my point is, I'd like to hear a new album by them now, as it wouldn't be a goodbye album as such (as AOTY was, since by 97 you could tell Patton was sick sh1t of singing the same old songs) but a whole new album with a whole new perspective. They have the potential still, and one can dream
Edit: The Hanging with MTV clips are mindblowing. Half the crowd haven't a clue what's going on :P0 -

Billy's side project supergroup, Fear and the Nervous System, are about to release an album: here's the first single, Choking Victim.
If that sounds a bit Korn-y, it's because the group includes "Munky" Shaffer, as well as Repeater vocalist Steve Krolikowski, Bad Religion drummer Brooks Wackerman, guitarist Leopold Ross and keyboardist Zach Baird. Billy seems to have discovered the 5-string bass; well, it's about time!

Heard a little bit of them a month or so back, a lot of demos and stuff sound the real deal. Didn't hear much of Shandi's Addiction after the cover of Calling Dr. Love, looked to be a neat little supergroup and all, would have thought the members where perfect for each other.Billy's side project supergroup, Fear and the Nervous System, are about to release an album: here's the first single, Choking Victim.

Billy's new album 'Talking Book', with Jared Blum, was released on Billy's label, KoolArrow. And might I say, and not just as a massive Billy-head (and that, I am), it is an absolutely exquisite piece of music. Brilliant, no exaduration, it's probably not for the casual Metalhead who doesn't have much variaty in ones' collection as it is quite obscure, out of the ordinary and somewhat scenic, if that makes sense in musical terminology.0 -

You Fat Bastards is the name of their live VHS/DVD which was recorded in Brixton Academy, London back in 1990 and released in the same year (the DVD was obviously released later, the CD was out in '91). The name was taken from what the London crowd was chanting that night, which is why the folks in the Point where chanting it that night too. Seeing as you mention it...DoubleBogey wrote: »Haven't listened to them in years but this thread has got me itching for some decent ****ing music. I'm another one who saw them in the point in '92 and what makes it even more sweet is it was my first gig ever...of any band. Remember Patton getting a bit pissed off when the whole stadium started chanting "you fat bastard!". Haha classic! He wasn't even fat I don't know how it started :-)
Can't wait to get home now and dig out their albums.
My database of knowledge on FNM and its' corresponding projects is borderline sad! 0 -
