Faith No More at Soundwave Adelaide set list
Faith No More played their penultimate Australian date in Adelaide on 27 February. Local news site Adelaide Now were full of praise in a pun-tastic review. Sample quote: “While the classics like Midlife Crisis and Epic got an airing, the really impressive songs were those that allowed Patton to show off his vocal range – in particular the early classic Chinese Arithmetic, Stripsearch and a relentlessly brutal Gentle Art of Making Enemies.”

Was Mike Patton’s little Mike a fake? NSFW
The scandal that one but Faith No More 2.0 is calling Mickeygate continues to rumble on. A new photo sent to be by the_wretched1 on Twitter suggests that a) little Mike is bigger than the previous photo suggested and b) he may not have been showing his junk after all but a dildo or prop.
After all, Patton has previous in the prop and prosthetic penis stakes. He claimed to have used a fake in 2002 when he was accused of peeing on a security guard at a Tomahawk show at London’s Astoria although now it seems that the statement was a joke.

- UPDATE: Bit late with his one but here’s Mike Patton with Tom Jone and tour manager Tim Moss in New Zealand.

- UPDATE: Sydney poster now on sale at Secret Serpents.
- The Pinkpop Festival in Holland announced its lineup today and Faith No More, despite being strongly rumoured to be appearing at the Dutch festival, were conspicuous by their absence. However, all hope is not lost as the May festival still has ten big names to reveal. And Dutch broadcaster RTL is still suggesting that Faith No More may yet be added to the bill.
- Finally some good video of Faith No More performing A Small Victory.

- Mike Patton icon of rock, according to this excellent piece from Consequence of Sound. Sample quote: “So, why is Patton an Icon of Rock? Two main reasons: he is indeed a phenomenal vocalist, but he is also the epitome of the anti-rock star. According to Faith No More band mate Roddy Bottum, Patton’s “only drug is caffeine”. He loathes the overzealous and greedy lifestyles of more famous rock “icons”.”
- According to Patton Archivio, a Mike Patton interview will soon be appearing at the Rock Midgets site. We’ll post more details when we have them.
- Long-term fansite mikepatton.de is back up and running and looking good.
