As a reward for sticking with me through the reboot and acknowledging that I have still to update the old video files, here is a treat that I stumbled across via Twitter.

Mike Patton speaks about the reunion, the possibility of new material, side projects, the tour so far and playing in Brazil in a wide-ranging interview with leading Brazilian newspaper O Globo on 13 October. I came across this interview belatedly at the mikepatton.cl website. Mercifully, Buga_Lady at the mouthoftheocean forum has provided an English translation here.
Sample quotes:
On saying no to a reunion
“I was certain that would never happen. I don’t know how many times, through the years, I said I would never be part of something like that, that it would be a step back. I always liked to give and end to things for good, in my personal life and professional, and go ahead. The idea of paying homage to our own music sounded selfish and horrible. Many times my manager came talking about an offer, and I wouldn’t let him finish the sentence.”
On finally saying yes:
“There was an offer for some shows in Europe. I thought it was a good moment and ended up agreeing. In the first rehearsal, I was late and I didn’t manage to enter the studio. I sat outside on the floor and listened to the band playing. The sound was very good, I felt I would be comfortable singing those songs again. And now we are here. We already played about 40 shows, and we are all happy.”
On a new record:
“We haven’t discarded that completely, but we are not thinking about composing. We don’t want to be like those bands that stay years apart, then return and release a horrible record.”
On FNM future:
We are not Starbuck’s, that are in every corner. If you want to see us, it is better go this time, because we don’t know if there will be another one, certainly not in another 10 years. So far we have shows booked until February, and maybe that will be it. The curious fact is that we didn’t have many offers to play in the USA.
Faith No More have announced a fourth Brazil date for this November. From Billy on Twitter: “Another Brazil date added: Sunday November 8, Belo Horizonte Chevrolet Hall”.

Some previously rumoured FNM dates in South America have just been confirmed by Bill Gould on Twitter. They are:
- Tuesday 27 October 27 Jockey Club del Peru, Lima, Peru
- Thursday 29 October 29 Teatro Caupolican. Nos Vemos Pronto! Santiago, Chile
- Tuesday 3 November Pepsi On Stage, Porto Alegre, Brazil Tickets
- Thursday 5 November, Citibank Hall, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil Tickets
More ticket details when we have them.
A Brazilian concert promoter has reported via its Twitter feed that Faith No More will play a second date in Brazil, on 3 November in Porto Alegre as part of the Pepsi On Stage event. The relevant Tweet read: “Vem aí um grande show internacional. A Opinião Produtora confirma FAITH NO MORE em POA!! a banda toca dia 3 de novembro, no Pepsi On Stage”…roughly translating as Opinião Produtora confirms that FNM will play Pepsi On Stage on 3 November.
There are also rumours of a Faith No More show in Rio de Janeiro on 5 November. And even a poster for such an event doing the rounds on Twitter.
However, as of now Faith No More have only confirmed one Brazil date – at the Maquinaria Festival in São Paulo on 7 November. More news on ther dates as we have it.
Faith No More will play the Maquinaria Festival in Sao Paulo, Brazil on 7 November, Roddy Bottum has confirmed via Twitter. His full Tweet was: “Finally! BRAZIL!!! The Maquinaria Festival, November 7 in Sao Paulo welcomes FNM!!! tickets on sale Aug 14.” Here is the ticket sales site.
