A few months back when word leaked that Faith No More's bookers had placed holds on European venues for summer 2009, some promoter told Metal Hammer that FNM had yet to get "their PR machine together," presumably meaning that hype attendant to this huge would-be event was lacking. That's true but who could predict the prescience of that statement, as the life-changing news of an actual tour by the world's greatest band (yes) has been confirmed as an aside, an afterthought to one of Mike Patton's many inessential projects. Not etched into the surface of the moon or delivered via press conference by leaders of all nations.
As confirmed tonight by his label and publicist, Mike Patton has announced that Faith No More will be reuniting for a European summer tour. While no other info has been given, we’ve been told that the tour will only take place in Europe, the dates are “to come” and there are absolutely no plans to tour the States. We’ve also been informed that Patton will not be doing interviews about the subject.
Pitchfork Media is reporting that the final FNM line-up (guitarist: Jon Hudson) will do the tour, but that's supposedly drawn from the Tripwire report, which confirms no line-up information. Other Bitchdork claims include that FNM traded in something called 'skronky jazz textures' (not really, dude) and 'awkward white-guy rapping' (do you mean 'awkward white-guy raping'?) and that Metal at the time was 'profoundly regressive.' IGNORANT.
