LifeDistortion · 05.21.2009, 02:08 PM

I just stumbled upon this. What the hell?! This is so great. They are doing a tour too! I may actually get to see Faith No More live?! WTF? Best news of the day.

Another 90s alternative band that I have a much harder time taking seriously today but damn I loved them when they were in their hayday.

atsonicpark · 05.21.2009, 02:28 PM

They announced this 2 or 3 months ago. Kinda shocked no one posted about it... but then, no one posted about Six Finger Satellite reforming either!

But ... yeah, Angel Dust rules all kinds of ass.

LifeDistortion · 05.21.2009, 02:30 PM

I just stumbled on an article about it today. They are rehearsing to go on tour but so far are only touring outside of the U.S.

Derek · 05.21.2009, 02:32 PM

Wait, Patton is actually in on this? I didn't think he would go along with it.

Angel Dust DOES rule, I don't like any of their other records.

Is the original guitarist one of the dudes listed for the line-up in the article? God I hope so...

LifeDistortion · 05.21.2009, 02:36 PM

AngelDust is in my top five favorite albums of all-time. That said I've learned to appreciate "King for a Day" and "Album of the Year" even if they don't touch the greatness of "AngelDust", unfortunately Jim Martin is not part of the reunion.

jon boy · 05.21.2009, 02:37 PM

this is one re union i am actually suprised about given as i thought they all hated eachother?

super_charger · 05.21.2009, 02:39 PM

Does anyone know his reason for departing the band and why he wouldn't be part of this reunion? Any bad blood to speak of?

LifeDistortion · 05.21.2009, 02:41 PM

I don't know for sure but since Jim Martin hasn't really done anything that I'm aware of after Faith No More, maybe he just retired from music completely.

Derek · 05.21.2009, 02:42 PM

I remember reading a WHERE ARE THEY NOW? feature on Faith No More and Jim Martin said something like, "My main hobby is growing pumpkins now. All I do is grow pumpkins." Ahahaha awesome.

That IS awesome. I've always dreamed of owning a pumpkin patch! Once we planted a pumpkin in my mother's back yard and the fucking thing TOOK OVER the whole place. Like ten 80 pound pumpkins sprouted. Totally inedible since they were rotting as they were growing but it was a sight to see.

Derek · 05.21.2009, 02:52 PM

Ahaha amazing.

I think ole Jim Martin was doing a pisstake... amazing if it wasn't though.

Kegmama · 05.21.2009, 02:55 PM

Holy hell. This is exciting news, you know how I love the 90's and shit, (trying to beat jb to the punch). I so hope they do some Cali dates. Mike Patton is excellent, I was just listening to some Mr. Bungle and Fantomas madness the other day.

Derek · 05.21.2009, 02:57 PM

I was listening to Mr Bungle the other day as well! Disco Volante is one of the greatest albums ever.

summer · 05.21.2009, 02:57 PM

I think I read somewhere that Jim Martin isn't doing this and instead it's Trey Spruance.

Dr. Eugene Felikson · 05.21.2009, 02:58 PM

Very excited for this.
I sleep with an FNM poster over my head every night.

Trey Spruance would be cool.

Dr. Eugene Felikson · 05.21.2009, 03:03 PM

I agree. King for A Day was great.

Is it true that Courtney Love tried out to be the band's vocalist, after Chuck's departure?

atsonicpark · 05.21.2009, 03:08 PM

Trey Spruance strongly dislikes Patton, according to cryptic interview answers when asked about him and message board posts... that's why Mr. Bungle broke up! I doubt Spruance would do it... but if so, maybe Bungle could eventually reform too.
