Hey, Whatever Happened to that Faith No More Reunion?
I remember being rather excited about the FNM reunion when it was announced in 2009. There was a flurry of shows (mostly in Europe). And then…nothing.
According to Mike Patton, “It just sort of petered out.” From Music-News:
We’re also maybe a little too conscious for our own good. Meaning there’s a lineage of bands that maybe did some nice things and then needed the cash and got back together and basically just sprayed diarrhea over their entire body of work. We’re very worried about that. We don’t want to overdo it.
I get what he's saying, but I think FNM should take the risk. For me, they were always a band that could do no wrong. To this day I still listen on a regular basis. Their reunion shows sounded awesome as well.
Look at Soundgarden. Their reunion and new album are amazing, I think FNM would do it right.
My one disappointment is that Jim Martin wasn't involved.
Ah well, maybe if there's no reunion, Mike Patton can get a new Tomahawk album released!
