- Today is Record Store Day. Faith No More may not be releasing new music to mark the occasion like some other bands including Blur but Mike Patton has come out in support of the campaign. He said: “”I love indie record stores! My first job was working at a record store. While touring, I still always hit my favorite record stores. What is not to love about record stores? To be surrounded by millions of records, some that you know and love and others that are hidden treasures waiting to be discovered. Record stores are also a great social outing. You can meet and talk to other people that share your love for the art of music. The excitement of strolling the aisles of a cool record store will always excite me. It’s best to do it without knowing what you are looking for. I can spend hours in my favorite record store. Record stores are my candy shops!!!!”

- Umlaut’s jaded review. Sample quote: “FNM’s resurrection seems more about cashing in on nostalgia than anything else. Sorry, just being honest.”
- Ozzy Osbourne’s 18-month tour will not impact on Faith No More as Puffy is no longer part of Ozzy’s band with Tommy Clufetos the current drummer.

I really enjoyed @hardrockchicks “outsider” review of the show. I had some good conversation with her via twitter in regards to Mike being seemingly disconnected from the crowd.
It’s not so much about him being disconnected…..He’s just busy in his own world – we come along for the ride.
Are you serious?! If Mike B is no longer with Ozzy, that sounds like good news for the future of FNM!
It’s very good news……
Billy and Jon are both lefties? Nice!
lolz @ Umlaut’s review. What a hardcore hipster, straight out of the hipster beginners’ guide for dummies. I’m sure he would feel “unnatural” lavishing too much praise on FNM because they are too popular and relevant now.
HardRockChick’s review, on the other hand, is good and honest. I was one of the “amazed superfans” behind her at the stage right first-tier rail; and yes we were all kind of spazzy and excited and probably freaked her out a bit
. What an EPIC night!
You know what?! I don´t give a shit about Ozzy´s tour, and I´m glad to know that Puffy won´t be part of it.
It means that the hope of more concerts, specially in South America, continues…..
@Stacey, Puffy is also a lefty.
@ThePetro wow! no wonder they’re such a talented and creative band!
