    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! :p

    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 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.

    I saw FNM for the first time live when they supported GnR at Slane and as per everyone elses comments they were the best band at that gig on the day.

    I was there too and I agree.

    Every time I'm out with people at work and someone mentions karaoke, I say "Only if they have Epic by FNM." So far, I've escaped, but if the time ever comes, I'm ready.

    Altogether now, "You waaaaaant it aaaaallll..."

    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.

    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... ;)

    My database of knowledge on FNM and its' corresponding projects is borderline sad! :o

    Didn't he encourage that chant?

    Patton can just be like that. I don't think he'd really give a sh1te either way. It's a part of his charm or lack of.

    I know that song — do you actually mean that FNM ripped it off, or do you mean the song titles are mildly similar? If it's the former, I'm sorry, but that would be a laughable statement, they don't sound one bit like each other!

    Not in the version I have of it, although mine is a live version (maybe Venice Beach, but not sure about that).

    Don't get me wrong, I love FNM but as we're talking about ripping off songs, the bass line in Collision sound pretty close to the riff of Rocket from the Crypt's On A Rope.

    But as Tom Petty said when the Chilis released Dani California which sounded like his Mary Jane's Last Dance, "A lot of rock and roll songs sound alike".

    That's right, I noticed that the first time I heard On A Rope — which was after I heard Collision, even though it is chronologically pre-dated to Collision.

    Been a massive FNM fan for years. I still have The "Real Thing" and "Angel Dust" on tape God bless us. Can't stop listening to "Kindergarten" off Angel Dust at the moment. Everything about it sums up Faith No More for me. And that's pretty hard to say in a few sentences! Stunning, original, exceptional atmospheric musicianship on all fronts. Loved seeing the old Vannessa Warwick interview/footage there...
    Was lucky enough to bag a ticket to see them at the Olympia...couldn't believe my luck getting to see 'em there:) Will never forget that, or seeing Mike Patton being thrown a Borat style "mankini" from someone in the crowd:D

    Theyve just announced a gig at a Brazilian festival so maybe some new material aint out of the question just yet, heres hopin anyway! :pac:

    I've said it before, their gig in Edinburgh in 2009 was probably the most incredible concert experience of my life both in terms of events and performance, and I really look forward to seeing these guys return to the UK (if that is going to be on the cards)

    I'd be prepared to travel for these guys, maybe not South America because of the financial cost involved, but certainly the US, Canada or Europe would be fine.

    I can only hope and pray that, regardless of any new material, a certain music festival in the UK is going to make efforts to book them as their headline act next year - leaving Pearl Jam, Van Halen, Faith No More and Motley Crue all free and available next Summer as big names for UK festivals...it will be one hell of a Summer

    Billy Gould just Tweeted me! :eek: It feels awesome, I'm not going to pretend to play it cool, Billy is the reason why I play bass and one of my favourite musicians ever. This is ****ing huge to me!

    I said how much I really love his album, Talking Book, and asked if he will be touring Europe, most importantly Ireland, with the new album and will FNM be coming too.
    He said;
    "I sincerely hope so." :D


    I know it's only 4 words but who cares!?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,688 ✭✭✭Nailz


    Aw man, wish I lived in Chile!

    This is mental, so Trey played with Mike for Mondo Cane; himself, Mike, Trevor Dunn and William Winant (touring drummer for the California tour all played together for John Zorn earlier this year, and now this?! Trey actually playing with FNM for the album be recorded, KFAD. Dare I say it..... A potential Mr. Bungle reunion perhaps!?

    Just in case there's some prospective FNM fans reading this thread,HMV in Liffey Valley had a small pack that contains The Real Thing,Angel Dust,King For a Day......,Album of the Year and Live at Brixton on CD for €17. Excellent value if you're looking for an introduction to the band.

    Chicken goujons, chips and beans.........

    That's what I was eating that Friday watching FNM on TFI. Knife and fork were turned into temporary drumsticks.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 44 vanjaqwq


    They played there first gig since last year. Second last song seems to be a new tune or an unreleased song, I've certaintly never heard it before. Patton had only said in a recent interview that they hadn't talked about recording a new album. Patton alaways seems to keep his cards close to this chest regarding anything FNM.

    www.newfaithnomore.com has the clip

    Would fúcking love to be seeing Trey Spruance and KFAD being played live in Chile.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,688 ✭✭✭Nailz


    All white outfits this time round, cool, looks like one of Tomahawk's old attire. Wonder what the structure will be in for the Santiago gig with Trey?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 44 vanjaqwq


    Think they are doing the album from front to back. Just Trey no Jon. Possible Bungle reunion on the cards? I die a happy man.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,688 ✭✭✭Nailz


    Ah well I know they'll be doing KFAD front to back, but I think it's questionable whether Trey and/or Jon will stay on in the gig, surely they'll play more than just the 14 songs from KFAD... And after not contacting each other since the California tour, this is their third show together [Mike & Trey] in the last one and a bit years; those being a gig with John Zorn (which also included Trevor Dunn and William Winnant - who toured on the California tour) and one of Mike's Mondo Cane gigs.


    Edit: Mentioned the concert on my show this morning and closed off with a song from KFAD. :) It's our forth show and it was my first time playing FNM shockingly! My part of the show starts around the 31 minute mark here if you're interested in a listen - odd format to this weeks show.

    My guess is just the 14 songs with a couple of b-sides and that (new?) song which sounds like something they were workin on the KFAD era.

    Lovin that Ice Cube number check yo self, cant beat a bit of old school hip hop ;)

    It's probably more accurate to say that both lifted it from a years old American football cheerleader chant. In fact didn't marylin Manson do the same thing, and have cheerleaders in the video?

    This comment is on newfaithnomore.com regarding the "new song"

    And as to the “new” song goes, I read this on The Holy Filament’s YT account: This is NOT a new song. This was a deliberate prank on all of us youtube voyeurs. While hanging out a few days before the Concert, Billy saw a local band perform in a small club and he approached them about covering one of the songs he had heard from their set. Obviously the little local band was more than happy. They worked to translate the lyrics, added some style and performed it at Estadio Malvinas Argentinas last night. Fools, all of you! Look it up!

    It being FNM you wouldn't put it past them. You jusy never know with the band.

    Absolutely love this band. Only got into them after a mate gave me a loan of the Brixton gig on tape some time in '91. I was instantly converted and went out and bought The Real Thing and Introduce Yourself. I eagerly awaited their next album(Angel Dust) and couldn't wait to see them live at Slane. I was honestly left with my mouth on the floor after their set. I struggled to see how GN'R could top them and they couldn't. Awesome performance along with an amazing album in Angel Dust.

    Next stop was a solo show in November '92 at the Point with L7 in tow. On the day of the show they held a record signing in the Virgin Megastore. It was manic,every bit as mad as being at a gig. Eventually got through the throng and got to meet them and get my AD cassette inlay signed by them all. I remember being struck by how laid back and cool 'Big' Jim Martin was.:)

    The following year they filled in at Dalymount for the Red Hot Chilli Peppers at the Sunstroke festival. It was a scorcher(sunstroke indeed!) and FNM absolutely destroyed the place. Patton is one of rocks most mesmeric and underrated frontmen. He had everyone eating from the palm of his hand,even those who knew little or cared less for them. Amazing times.
    :
    My introduction to FNM almost exactly mirrors this. Was gutted to have to play minor championship football the day of the Slane appearance. Had a ticket that I never got rid of but I could hear the sound at the ground I played. Small consolation or torture? We lost too.

    Myself and the mate who gave me the Brixton Academy tape went for a few pints in Bruxelles after the Virgin (Still have my autographed AD cassette and t-shirt) signing. We heard that Jim was in McDaid's and we had a pint beside (couldn't really claim to have been 'with') him. He didn't say much, We hung around outside the back of the Westbury and met them all again before they headed off to the Point. I htink I may have a bootleg tape recording of that gig too.

    Won a ticket in the Irish Times for the Dalymount show and went to a gig on my own. Good times!

    For one reason or another my FNM honeymoon petered out in the mid 90s. I started to listen to different stuff until a random chat with a stranger at a party in the early hours of one particular morning in 2003. He strongly recommended KFAD so I gave it a listen. I have since discovered that my oldest nephew is a fan and he's amazed that I saw them live before he was born.

    Gutted that I missed the Olympia in 2009 because of a friend's wedding. There are only, seriously, about five bands that I would pay to see today and Faith No More are one of them.

    I am suitably impressed with the knowledge of the side projects on here and I may just get myself educated.

    Love, love, love this band, can't get enough of them, been into them for over 20+ years and I've still not heard enough of them, been lucky enough too see them 7 times over the years, Angel Dust is still the greatest album ever and Mike Patton is the only singer wroth listening to
