Can't wait to go to the Detroit show.

auto

Did you get tickets. The Live Nation presale was a joke. No tickets available immediately. One more chance tomorrow.

Chicago sale was a joke this morning. Got on at 10am, site said I was in line. Then at 10:02 it said due to my position in line I probably wouldn't get tickets, so it took me out of the line.
I ready the Philly show sold out in 2 minutes also, and then apparently there were immediately over 400 tickets available on Stubhub. What a joke.

islandclaws

Total joke. I figured I'd try for another pair at the Wiltern; tix were gone in a minute.

And FUCK Live Nation's "enter the phrase" bullshit. One of them wanted me to watch an ad to get the word to type in. Are you fucking kidding? EVERY SECOND counts in this game.

auto

Missed out on Detroit tickets even though I submitted the moment they went on sale. Beyond disappointed.

fiver

I tried to get Detroit tickets too right when they went on sale. No luck. Missed out on foo fighters the same way.

I don't know how to get tickets to big shows anymore - seems like it's less than 50% success rate these days.

Faith No More - Sol Invictus 5/19/15

New album streaming here:

I think my favorite track is "Matador"

Barth

I don't know what happens. How does it happen that all of my favorite bands of the past can't write at least a couple new songs l like? To me this all seems like complete shit. Hell, just crank out a couple tunes with the same riff and change up the lyrics a bit, I would be happy.
Metallica, outside of St. Anger, seems to know what their fans want. Motley threw out a couple decent songs as of late. Disappointed the bands of my youth and a bit later don't even seem to be trying any more.

Life cycle of a lot of rock bands

Young, hungry, full of angst - Produce your great albums

Burn out after a decade or so

Split up for 15 years

Return with mediocre product and tour to recover the money blown during breakup

Phodg

^^^^^^^^

Only for the bigger bands. A lot of bands get back together knowing they won't make any money but they just want to try and make up for lost time.

Nice.

Liking this album more and more with each listen....already getting its second play of the day. Can't wait for my (delayed) clear vinyl to show!

islandclaws

A couple listens in and I am definitely digging this album... but it needs another 2-3 songs. 10 tracks and only 40 minutes ain't enough.

Fuck Yeah I'll be getting these

After 1st spin I like it but don't find it as interesting as anything they've done before.

When Faith No More first got together for the reunion shows in 2009, did you think it would lead to an album?

Mike Patton: Not at all. The reason that the reunion shows went well was because we didn’t even talk about that shit. It was just like, “Hey, let’s reconnect and revisit a place in our lives.” You do that for two years and then it becomes a question mark, like, “OK, what next?”

Roddy Bottum: Who wants to be an old dinosaur band lugging around a bunch of old material? It just felt very ugly.

Patton: Those guys were working on stuff, and if the music wasn’t so great I wouldn’t have been a part of it. But it was incredibly great. It was a part of our history that we had never really fully exploited. Meaning, we had never really got there. So this record was a way of expressing that shit -- the shit that we never did.

You wrote and recorded Sol Invictus in secrecy -- no label, management or producer. Why?

Bottum: We kept it in-house and behind closed doors. And we were fortunate to be able to keep it as insular as we did because we had no expectations or deadlines. Really, it’s a chicken shit way to do it. (Laughs.) But at the same time it allowed us freedom.

Patton: It’s a post-punk record with tons of atmosphere. It’s like ELO or The Beach Boys going through a gothic laundry cycle.

Faith No More is often cited by newer rock and metal acts as a big influence. Do you hear yourselves in other people’s music?

Billy Gould: I don’t. We’re so weird we don’t even know who we are. If there was a band playing polka and they said they were inspired by Faith No More, I could see that more than a band that was just doing some, like, rapping over funky metallic grooves. That just seems like something that’s already etched in stone. It’s well-trodden territory. But it’s not us.

Do you think people want to hear new Faith No More music?

Patton: I have no idea! Who knows whether they will like it or not? I never wanted to be a 50-year-old guy making music [for] teenagers. I don’t think any of us did. But all I can tell you is we’re making good shit. I don’t care who listens.

This story originally appeared in the May 23 issue of Billboard.

If that Real Thing re-issue is a remaster I will gladly shell out for it. That record sounds so thin in the bottom end.

Rival11

I like the new album but need to listen to it more for sure. I'm not sure why some are so quick to dismiss it after a few hours of its release. When it comes to FNM you have to let the music sink in a bit.

JZ1276

I agree, I've always thought that myself. Can anyone confirm if it was remastered?

islandclaws

I can confirm the band has nothing to do with these reissues, so any remastering is going to be done without their input.

bunkaroo

They really don't need the band involved to help the bottom end out. It really does a disservice to the excellent bass and drums on the record.
