@Mark,
Hope you enjoyed SF. I was at two of those shows. Sound could have been better but the performances were unbelievable.

I never thought to see FNM alive but hey, I never thought to see their last gig! Another dream came true. Once more, thanks to the band and especially to Patton; the voice of everything! Amazing, so fucking amazing!

If this is the end then obviously I (Like anyone on here) will be gutted, still clinging onto the shred of hope that puffy didn’t leave ozzy for nothing and that mike just wants the rest of 2010 to promote mondo cane (which I wouldn’t have listened to had it not been for fnm, but is actually a really good album!). If it is the end then thanks for the memories, I got to go to five shows, three countries, two continents! This band has changed the way I look at music and set the bar so high it’s unreal. Will never forget the first show, going from the subtlety of Midnight Cowboy to the choas of from out of nowhere, I went skydiving and it doesn’t compare to the energy rush I got from that show!

I should also thank them for ruining any further band reunions. Reunions are supposed to be all about greed, hating each other (the verve) or one member claiming the band is theirs (guns &roses, smashing pumpkins spring to mind). Faith no more instead gave us different banter at every show, singing happy birthday to john and then dumping the cake, pulling up fans to sing with them, constantly mocking themselves for being a bit older with every band member enjoying themselves. Hell, they even gave chuck his moment in the sun which I felt was very cool.

Best band on the planet, bar none.

………………………
couldnt have said it better myself. Pure Class.

One song missing from the list, Surprise! You’re Dead! and I’m not sure did it come after or before Evidence.

Hell of a show, best ever! 20,000 drunken finns cannot be wrong!

“As far as the music goes, king for a day is just unbeatable.”

Agree!

petro: I saw them In edinburgh (Scotland), then a couple of days later at leeds festival (England), then all three shows at the warfield! Travelled from the uk, probably took patton’s “we arn’t starbucks so catch us whilst you can” comment far too literally lol. I would’ve loved to have gone to either bilbao or optimus but alas, some major family problems occured and it just wasn’t possible.

Nick: Speaking from the heart here, even if zep reformed it wouldn’t be the same, this was just a band who got back together and had some fun rather than being about marketing, or exclusive interviews or all the other stuff which is irrelevant to the music.

As far as the music goes, king for a day is just unbeatable.
