Here is the official statement:



Faith No More has always stood out as some sort of unique beast; part dog, part cat--its music almost as schizophrenic as the personalities of its members. When it all worked, it worked really well, even if the chemistry was always volatile. Throughout our 17years of existence, the mental and physical energy required to sustain this creature was considerable and relentless. Though amicable enough, when we finally split, we all followed paths seemingly destined to opposite ends of the universe.

Yet during the entire 10 years that have passed since our decision to break up we've experienced constant rumors and requests from fans and promoters alike. Nevertheless, for whatever reason, none of us kept in regular touch, much less to discuss any possibilities of getting together.

What's changed is that this year, for the first time, we've all decided to sit down together and talk about it. And what we've discovered is that time has afforded us enough distance to look back on our years together through a clearer lens and made us realize that through all the hard work, the music still sounds good, and we are beginning to appreciate the fact that we might have actually done something right.

Meanwhile we find ourselves at a moment in time with zero label obligations, still young and strong enough to deliver a kickass set, with enthusiasm to not only revisit our past but possibly add something to the present. And so with this we've decided to hold our collective breaths and jump off this cliff....
BACK, GOD FORBID, INTO THE MONKEY CAGE!!!

We can only hope that the experience of playing together again will yield results erratic and unpredictable enough to live up to the legacy of FNM.
Who know where this will end or what it will bring up...only the future knows. But we are about to find out!

FAITH NO MORE are:
Mike Bordin, Roddy Bottum, Bill Gould, Jon Hudson and Mike Patton

Great news, especially if they tour Australia.

A bit disappointed that the reunion does not include Jim Martin. He was certainly in the band when they released their best material.

I like King For a Day best so I'm happy if they tour with the last lineup.

Nah but John Hudson is great. I have a few good bootlegs with him playing and he rocks.

Jim Martin is definitely the "classic" FNM guitar sound but a flying V into a Marshall is hardly revolutionary. I think that he was a good but not great player and I can live without him from a musical point of view.

Spruance and Hudson are better players than Martin in my opinion.

I can definitely vouch for Trey's ability. Went to the Secret Chiefs 3 gig at the Brunswick and his playing left everyone in shock and awe. :thumbsu:
Haven't seen Hudson, but judging by his playing on the FNM back catalogue on DVD/torrents, he's quite impressive.

They better come to Melb.

I love their Fool For A Day album.........

"Don't Look At Me I'm Ugly In The Morning" :D

Patton at his best except for Fantomas and Mr Bungle's Disco Valante album.

My oath :thumbsu:
 
As long as they don't punch each other out in Europe, I reckon there's a reasonable chance they will make it out here!
I reckon you are correct. They certainly found a large audience in Australia. More chance of a tour down under that one here in the US. f*ckn hell:mad:

Yeah I love that album.

"The Gentle Art Of Making Enemies" is another beauty.
