Members Phantasm Posted February 24, 2009 Members Share Posted February 24, 2009 No US Dates and no Jim Martin from this report... which is disappointing. The Real Thing and Angel Dust were two of the greatest albums ever. --- FAITH NO MORE Reunion 'Confirmed' By MIKE PATTON's Publicist - Feb. 24, 2009According to Idolator.com, former FAITH NO MORE singer Mike Patton's publicist has confirmed that the hugely infuential '90s alt-metal band will reunite for a summer tour. At the moment, it appears that the group will only perform in Europe and there are absolutely no plans to tour the States. As previously reported, a source close to guitarist Jim Martin, who was in FAITH NO MORE from 1983 until 1993, has told BLABBERMOUTH.NET that the axeman expressed interest in taking part in the reunion after being recently contacted by keyboardist Roddy Bottum and a member of FAITH NO MORE's management team, but that the band inexplicably decided to utilize a different guitarist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Phantasm Posted February 24, 2009 Author Members Share Posted February 24, 2009 No tour in the States? {censored}! Well, you know how it goes. They'll see if they can get along through Europe and add US dates if they are still all happy when that's done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members willsellout Posted February 24, 2009 Members Share Posted February 24, 2009 Why don't they have Patton's ego play guitar for them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Phantasm Posted February 24, 2009 Author Members Share Posted February 24, 2009 I think they broke up more because Mike Bordin was playing drums for ozzy/sabbath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Renfield Posted February 24, 2009 Members Share Posted February 24, 2009 "hugely influential"???really? Yes. Seriously. Extremely holy-mega-{censored}ing influential. They better play some Canadian dates if they play the States. If not I'm couch surfing at someone's place so I can go to the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Phantasm Posted February 24, 2009 Author Members Share Posted February 24, 2009 "hugely influential"???really? Billy Gould's tone and playing on The Real Thing and Angel Dust were two of the biggest reasons I picked up a bass guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members FloydianAnimal Posted February 24, 2009 Members Share Posted February 24, 2009 Hmmm, I'm still kind of skeptical about that until more of the band confirms it. I know that most of the band is still doing their own things, plus it doesn't sound like a guitarist has been finalized yet. And yea, we definitely need a US tour obviously...

Members Zeromus-X Posted February 24, 2009 Members Share Posted February 24, 2009 One of the most influential hard rock bands out there, IMO. I'm not a huge fan, but they opened the genre for thousands of bands to follow with a new style of music. Mike Patton himself has done that for plenty of other genres, too, and the guy's a madman. It's like every band he touches turns to gold for a CD or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members anothertxn Posted February 24, 2009 Members Share Posted February 24, 2009 Ah, it's time to get paid. I heard about this brewing awhile ago. I much prefer Patton's later works, but I know my drummer will be super excited about this development. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members FloydianAnimal Posted February 25, 2009 Members Share Posted February 25, 2009 So the singer of my band has contact with a bass cabinet manufacturer who is making stuff for Billy Gould. From what he heard from Billy, supposedly they are rehearsing right now for tour and in fact have Jon Hudson on guitar (the guitarist for Album of the Year). Well, if that is all is really true, they better come to the US now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Phantasm Posted February 25, 2009 Author Members Share Posted February 25, 2009 I still have no idea why no Jim Martin... Either they really hate the guy or he refused to learn the newer material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Renfield Posted February 25, 2009 Members Share Posted February 25, 2009 I still have no idea why no Jim Martin... Either they really hate the guy or he refused to learn the newer material. He's making more money now as a giant pumpkin farmer than he ever did in FNM. He's also not done a whole heck of a lot in music since. He may have quit playing entirely for all we know.

Well, the article does say Jim Martin wanted in, but there's probably a conflict with a member still. Likely Patton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
