Links for a day… (vol. 31) Dublin early reports, Edinburgh reviews and more
- Roddy wants to live in Dublin. By all reports it was a cracking gig. More later today.
- Duff McKagan again speaks of his love for The Real Thing.
- Two more Edinburgh reviews. The List: “Sometimes reunion shows can feel like protracted affairs, you can almost see the dollar signs gleaming in their eyes as petty quarrels and longstanding resentments are held at bay for the length of each gig. Fortunately, on tonight’s showing at least, this is far from the truth in the FNM camp.”
- The Skinny: “Mike Patton and his men run a tight and very sweaty main set that ticks all the right boxes.”
- Ticket details for Lima date on 27 October announced on Terra.
- Mark Bowen from Edinburgh with added band and crowd banter: “Would you give your bus seat up to Bill Gould?”

Reviews
From BBC Scotland here. Sample quotes: “Opening with the John Barry epic “Midnight Cowboy” and quickly following it up with crowd favourites “From Out of Nowhere” and “Be Aggressive”, the band showed that time had definitely not taken the edge off their performance and Patton’s phenomenal vocal range has lost none of its power.”
And: “Towards the end of the set Patton invited an overjoyed girl to join him on stage for a duet, in which she duly took part. Holding the audience together with ease, all arms aloft, Patton’s exchange about sweaty Edinburgh armpits led to a swift lick to his armpit by girl, who was swiftly despatched back to the crowd with an, “nice knowing ya lady, now get out of here”.

- Manchester band Oceansize will support Faith No More at their Edinburgh Corn Exchange gig on Tuesday night. More here. (via tbeest)
- Following on from the Faith No More entry we highlighted some weeks ago, here is the Uncyclopedia (satirical version of Wikipedia) entry for Mike Patton. (via Amanda on Twitter)
- Via Stubbadub, Soundwave festival tickets go on sale this week. More here.
- News of the sale of the official posters from the second leg of the Second Coming tour from Inside the Rock Poster Frame site. They will be on sale at the Secret Serpents Store from 9 September from 10am PST.
- Slayer’s Dave Lombardo has not ruled out working with Mike Patton in the future. From an interview reproduced at Blabbermouth, sample quote: “Are you still involved with Mike Patton? Lombardo: No, but that door has never completely shut. Me and Mike will work together in the future, I believe, if schedules permit. He’s great, I love his music, all of the stuff that we’ve done. There’s always a chance.”
- I stumbled upon this old interview with Mike Patton from Raw magazine on 27 June 1990. Sample quote: “I think I’ve already come close to being a tortured artist and it’s boring.” From the old Stripsearch fan site.

- The Edinburgh Festival Guide have a great piece on Faith No More as they look forward to FNM’s appearance there on Monday 25 August. Sample quote: “It could easily be argued that if it wasn’t for the likes of Faith No More and their contemporaries, there might not have ever been Nirvana, Soundgarden, Metallica, Nine Inch Nails, Rage Against the Machine, Slipknot, and on and on the list goes.”
- In a similar vein, former Guns N’ Roses bassist Duff McKagan chooses The Real Thing as one of the most influential albums of the 90s in the latest edition of his excellent column in the Seattle Weekly.
- Marking Faith No More’s Soundwave announcement leading Australian music site Faster Louder delves into the “Weird World of Mike Patton”.
- The new Soulsavers album Broken is out now and features Mike Patton on the track Unbalanced Pieces. Check out a preview at Amazon. UPDATE: Via the excellent Patton Archivio site, hear the whole track here.
- And Chuck Mosley’s debut solo offering Will Rap Over Hard Rock for Food is now out. The Cleveland Plain Dealer has an interview. Sample quote: “”I never saw myself as just the singer who got kicked out of Faith No More,” he says. “I’ve always been a songwriter.”"
- The Limewire blog features a review of the album. Sample quote: “Even the questionable remake of “We Care A Lot,” which features FNM keyboardist Roddy Bottum, has an industrial edge and Mosley’s signature swagger – complete with him joking “about the fact that I can still get paid for doing this song.””
- Last but by no means least, Faith No More play the Spirit of Burgas Festival, Bucharest and the famed Sziget festival this weekend. They also play Prague on Monday night and, as we wil be at that gig, updates for the others might be sparse over the weekend. So feel free to add any video and set list information in the comments.
- Faith No More are on stage from 23.10 until 00.40 tonight on the main stage at Spirit of Burgas. Tickets are still available at the festival entrance.
- FNM play the Sala Polivalenta on Saturday night at 20.00 for their first Bucharest date. More details here. Support will be provided by Superhiks, Elvis Jackson and Luna Amară. While there are also reports that the band will pay a visit to the Romanian parliament during their stay.
- For Sziget, FNM will be on stage at 21.30 on the main stage on Sunday night.
- US band Firewater have been confirmed as support for the Prague date.
