New Faith No More tour posters
Via the always informative Inside the Rock Poster Frame blog, details of Faith No More’s tour posters for their New Zealand and Australia shows. The big news is that the poster for the Melbourne Festival show on 25 February is being designed by one Bill Gould. Unfortunately, no image of that one yet but the posters will be on sale at those shows and later on SecretSerpents.com, which still has Europe posters on sale as well.
Here’s the Auckland poster by Brian Ewing and Buff Monster.

- Finally, managed to find a report of Billy Gould speaking at the Heineken Music Conference in Tel-Aviv from the Jerusalem Post. Sample quote: “Labels used to be in it for the long term with an artist – they’d get signed to a development deal, and the label wouldn’t mind if the first record didn’t sell. The idea was to build a following, and by the third album, you’d begin to see the results of your labor,” he said. “There’s no way that would happen today. If you’re not a hit, you’re gone.”
- The tour posters from the second leg of The Second Coming tour are now on sale at Secret Serpents.
- Here’s a generally positive Rock en Seine review from ClickMusic.
- And a glowing review in French from MusicPlease here and another from Telerama here.

- 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.

Sample quote: “But that [drugs]wasn’t why they fired me. They said I quit, and I told them they can’t say that. Then rumors started up on the Internet, and I became a real terrible person. It became a liability on the business side. That hurt me financially when I wanted to get a record deal.”

Former Hanoi Rocks Michael Monroe had good things to say about FNM at Ruisrock: “Faith No More was great, as expected. Mike Patton is definitely still one of the best singers in the business.”
There is now a full collection of signed tour posters including new additions Riga, Helsinki and St. Petersburg at Secret Serpents. (No sign of the Adam Jones Moscow one though).
Apparently the annual Triple J Hottest 100 countdown is an Australian institution and FNM are at number 46 this year with Epic. Sample quote: “Fusing rap, metal and rock, the breakthrough song by San Francisco-formed Faith No More hit radios across the globe like a high-voltage shot of adrenalin.”
