Faith No More Article Round Up

gronk

A few Faith No More related articles have been making the rounds. Not really worth posting about them individually but now that a few have accumulated time to give em to the punters.

Metal Hammer bring us the story behind Faith No More’s King For a Day album, and then go on to present us with the story behind “The Real Thing”.

Download Festival’s booker Andy Copping has come out to claim he was an integral key to the reformation of Faith No More, and that Mike Patton is “really the anchor of the whole thing in getting them all back together”. Check it out.

Thats it for now. Those that got Brixton tix, enjoy! (lucky fecks)

      It’s interesting what Puffy recalls about the RT recordings. They state in the article that Puffy refutes the notion that the music was recorded before Patton joined, but it doesn’t offer up any quotes from him that specifically states so. Either way, that’s probly how it was done anyway due to time constraints.

      ‘Velvet Hammer’? So, there’s still more material waiting out there? Will it ever see the light of day?!

      @Bister Mungle:
      VH was the working title for ‘The Last to Know’. It got changed before the album got released.

      Nostalgic stuff about KFAD but how the hell did ugly in the morning get on the playlist ahead of Absolute Zero which only made the digging the grave b- side?the mind boggles..

      Thanks Timb. That reminds me of reading at some point that FNM never call their songs by the final sonf titles anyway. I remember that most of the Angel Dust songs had pretty funny names, and there was one called ‘Madonna Song’.
      @ 2dles: yeah, and how did ‘I won’t forget you’ not make make the cut either!?

      Actually, Velvet Hammer was the “code name” for “Coralho Voador”. “The Last to Know” was known as “Dirge” during recording. “King for a Day” was “Acoustic Groove”…etc and so on. “Madonna Song” from the AD sessions became “Midlife Crisis”.

      @D&D – Think you’re right, would make more sense with Billy’s comment in the article. I got my info from the Kerrang review about the same time. I presumed by the way Kerrang referred to it in the track running order that is was TLTK… They probably had a promo CD… Interesting!

      man this has been an interesting thread, where did you guys find all this stuff out? would love to compile a list of all these, for no real reason other than the list should exist ;)

      unless someone knows of a list?

    • Gezarie Says:

      Agreed, very cool info guys.
      @2dles yeah that sounds right to me, I remember reading that somewhere back when the internet took an hour to load :o )
      @Jim Bowen Gronk’s to thank for this awesome site, I’m just happy to be helping out. btw gronk I’m in my last days of semester so will up the ante soon!

      Crack Hitler = Action Adventure

      Hey, good name for Crack Hitler. There was a song called ‘sample song’, err, might have been smaller and smaller, or maybe ‘the world is yours’. Yeah, you probably could piece all this info together. I know that their set lists would mostly refer to the songs like this, and people who managed to steal them would have all the ‘codes’!

      Bister Mungle,had a listen to I won’t forget you on you tube,like Jim Bowen I hadn’t heard it before.the vocals were a bit ropey – never thought I’d say that about Patton!- bit maybe on a few listens it may grow on me.What did you make of it JB?

    • MicMike Says:
      June 8th, 2009 at 11:13 pm

      Yeah Sample Song became The World Is Yours. If you check out http://old.fnm.com/ and read the FAQ, there’s heaps of info in there…
