UPDATE: Yes, this was of course an April Fools’ joke. Apologies to anyone who was however briefly fooled and thanks for all your comments. I had thought I’d made it obvious enough but I suppose after six greatest hits anything is possible.
Faith No More are set to release a new compilation to coincide with the band’s return to the United States after a 15-year hiatus later this month.
The two-disc new release, entitled Fool for a Lifetime: The Second Best of Faith No More, will be released on 19 April in record stores in the US and at popular download sites. The first disc comprises Faith No More’s minor hits while the second disc, sure to be a must for fans and completists, will feature live tracks recorded on their comeback Second Coming tour.
In addition a Rhino Records spokeswoman has suggested to us that new Faith No More material may be in the offing. Avril Poisson said: “You’ll just have to wait and see on that one I’m afraid. But we do know that Mike Patton is really pushing for it at the minute as he hasn’t been in a studio in days.”

You’d have to be a fool not to buy it in April….. har har
LOOOOOOOOOOLZZZZZ APRIL FEWLS MOFOS
Guys…Avril is french for april….this is a joke. It’s April fool’s don’t forget. That is bad karma!!!!!
We shouldn’t joke about such things……admin…right…this is a joke right?
@ Ti Mort, I am with u 100%.. this is not something u fuck with.
Amen Nina….bad juju!!!!!
I must say though….for a few minutes I got very excited…..and then the stark realization!!!! Oh well, all in good fun I guess????????????????? It’s a dirty job admin…BUT SOMEONE’S GOTTA DO IT!!!!!
@ Ti Mort.. thanks for making me laugh…I was April fooled for 15 mins fuckers, best 15 mins I’ve had all week. Bring on July!!!!!!
hahahahahahah love that April’s fool!! Avril Poisson, veeery nice one!!! And as Ti Mort said “Avril Poisson” is french and if you switch those words you’ll find “Poisson Avril” or “Poisson d’Avril” (our April’s Fool).
One more thing, they release it on April 19th… the same April 19th when 12 years ago, they splitted!!!! mwahahahahaah the best laughter of the week!! Congratulations for this post, this was tricky and awfully fun BRA-VO!!!
I’m such a sucker…I was sold on the second disc. WOW…I even checked the Rhino website. Fuck me.
I actually believed it for a few minutes,then i realized it was April’s fool! LoL It would be awesome,tho…
Bad bad joke
I so wish they would release A live-cd from the Second Coming Tour!
Poisson d’avril. J’y ai cru! Totalement!
The second disc would have be awesome, I’ll still dream of it!
Guess they should also include all those awesome demos the band recorded with Courtney Love, huh?
“Prima Aprilis”, huh?
Nonono, nothing of April Fool’s Day thing, this HAVE to be true ‘__’
->FOOL<-
Damnit. I was in the middle of calling my brother to tell him about this when I started reading the comments. Damn you Admin.
Definitely April Fools…I thought before I started down the track list…
Look everyone…I think we can all agree that we’ve been had. That being said I also think we can all agree that more than a year later everyone is surprised that they are still touring. They said American dates looked iffy….we’ve got Warfield, Coachella, Williamsberg Waterfront. Mike P sat outside the rehearsal studio on his first day…didn’t even go in. Then at the end of the rehearsal said to the team “Let’s do this!!!”. Who knows what lies ahead. Patton pumps out music like there is no tomorrow. What’s another FNM album then…in my opinion…just a matter of time. Oh by the way, 11 DAYS!!!!!! But who’s counting…..
You had me at the first sentence and my heart started pounding as I read on. Good joke!
Let’s hope it is an April Fools joke. That would be pretty lame if they did ANOTHER “Best Of”. I thought they came out with their “best of” originally because of contractual obligations to the record company. This would be their 3rd when they don’t really have any hits.
Of course I would still buy it. Especially for the live cd. Actually even if it didn’t have the live cd I would buy it because…..well……I’m an idiot.
I was so beyond sold until Underwater Love appeared on a compilation – of anything.
Hey…what’s wrong with underwater love? Have you heard it live?
Underwater Love is actually one of my favorites from The Real Thing. It’s a cool track. Jim plays some wicked crazy chords on that one, I’ve been trying to figure it out for ages .
The “Patton’s been pushing for it” was a total tip off.
Thank God tho…live recordings are allright but enough with the Best Hits CDs.
This is obviously bullshit. Sick joke.
I HATE YOU AND YOUR TRICKERY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Maybe it’a a reverse April Fool’s joke; just obvious enough where nobody actually believes it and then it turns out to be real!! Besides, didn’t Mike’s label Ipecac start on April Fool’s Day?
hahaha i lol about people who said “this is not something to joke about”
Well, this is obviously shyte – happy April Fools to you too. However, a two disc version of tracks from their recent tour would be mint slice (very nice for you non-Aussies out there). Basically that and a new album over the next 12 months would be puuurfect.
Live tracks! Absolutely great!!! That’s what i have been waiting for.
WHY MUST GOD PUNISH ME THIS WAY!???????
Posted at 12.22pm? I thought April fools jokes are meant to be played before midday? Especially as everyone reading this is in different time zones. I would love new material though, I guess we have to wait and see.
cuckoo for carlos??????
@ Ti Mort- again u are too funny, 100% on ur side. Cuckoo for carlos, geez could u be anymore original bahaaa!
I wanted to buy it. Seriously. Damn April’s Fool
Hey!!!!! FUCK YOU ALL!!! lol …YOU BITCHIES! specially for the one who invented this bullshit…for you..a speciall FUCK YOU ASSHOLE!
for the one who doesn´t like “underwater love” i got a mesage too:
Listen to a LIVE version and then we can talk..ok?
ARGHHHHHHHHH… don’t tease me!
@Fantomasdor.. good one! love it.. Underwater love rocks, probably a comment from a new FNM fan.. go back to ur emo music fucker.
Some of you are not tall enough for this ride…..
I’m 17, and I love Underwater Love….no pun intended. =)
I actually got all the FNM CDs at once, and listened to them in order. It was a great way to hear their evolution!
It’s bullshit … and considering ‘Admin’ hasn’t come clean about it, I’d say it’s pretty lame as well.
Billy or Roddy would have posted something to Twitter about it. The band has intentionally avoided providing information through third party sources since the reunion. Why would they do so now?
gnice
EVIL EVIL EVIL!!! cruel cruel cruel joke! but still funny wahahahahar!!! Beats the left handed hamburger! Now to make it up please release a new album asap!!!
And why am I seeing Breaking Benjamin (on tour with Nickelback!) ads on a Faith No More fansite?? Now *thats* an April fools joke. Touche!
Still to the news Harte!
Comedy ain’t yer thing!!
Ha ha, good joke. I fell for it! I even looked on the Rhino site.
