Having come in at #1 on FL’s 25 Most Wanted Tours, – œ90s juggernaut Faith No More played its first reunion show in London last night. The band – whose current line-up has Jon Hudson replacing original guitarist Jim Martin – were met with a sold-out and amped-up crowd at Brixton Academy.

Opening with a Peaches & Herb cover, the band powered through a show that would have most FNM fans weak at the knees. Plenty of shaky camera phone footage was captured of the momentous event – sadly not much of what has materialised on YouTube is any good. Lucky, then, that Metal Hammer magazine has come through with the night’s set-list for us to ogle at. Mike Patton, rally the troops and fulfill our wish.

Here’s what Faith No More played at the first stop on their reunion tour.

King For A Day

daviddeb said on the 11th Jun, 2009

awesome, hope they come to Australia over the summer. Why would Jim Martin be even mentioned? He left the band before the last two (and best) albums. Hudson was the guitarist on Album of the Year.

They played Stripsearch?

The Real Thing. Awesome. Fuck I can't wait.

Eric the Black

Eric the Black said on the 11th Jun, 2009

Why? Because he was the original and best.
I respect your opinion but strongly disagree about the albums.
Angel Dust is fucking gold and the Real Thing is where it all began really.

All Hail Big Jim Martin!!!

Don't worry about him he is musically challenged with blandest of the bland taste. He also believes variety is overrated.

mate i listen to variety, you just see me posting about indie rock bands and think i only listen to indie i listen to glitch, electronica, jazz more or less most genres but mike patton has not a great deal of talent m8. fantamos were a joke band that everyone thought was serious.

JackT

JackT said on the 11th Jun, 2009

Hey dude, the reason I mentioned Jim Martin is that a lot of the press has been about 'the original Faith No More reunited', but Jim Martin didn't return. But yes, probably wasn't clear why I included that.

Eric the Black

Eric the Black said on the 11th Jun, 2009

You can't even spell Fantomas so save your comments, Mate.

lineofbestfit

lineofbestfit said on the 11th Jun, 2009

maybe that's because i don't rate them enough to spell the name correctly, buzz is probably the worst of the seattle grunge frontmen, if you can call him that.

i still don't believe this linesofbenefit guy is real.

But, if he is, then i say this - linesofbenefit:

1. If it wasn't for FNM and a handful of other bands, rock would have withered into boring same-old in the 90's. And Lord knows, the billion fuckwits who think that The FooFighters and QOTSA are the best heavier rock gets might actually be right.

2. Except they did exist. And having seen them twice, many eons ago, I can guarantee you that FNM can and will blow any band you care to mention out of the fucking water.

3. One day, a whole heap of us from FL are going to form a posse and hunt you down you cunt. Ever seen Young Guns? You'll be the one left in the house.

I've pretty much blown my load a billion times today over this actually happening.

It's so surreal to see them performing together again. And actually look like they really fucking enjoyed themselves - especially Mike P. Weird. But so incredibly exciting and joyous.

I have it on good authority that they will be in Australia early this year. But not for Big Day Out.

1. foo fighters blow pal same with qotsa, i'm into indie rock like the shins, death cab for cutie i don't think fnm would influence ben gibbard & james mercer much pal, in fact i recall ben refering to mike patton as a dinosaur of rock once.

I've said it another thread somewhere else... but definitely in the top 3 musical memories of all time was patton on his hands and knees screaming digging the grave at alternative nation many moons ago...

I like indie music too. And James Mercer should be credited for a long time to come for his songs. Just as Mike Patton and FNM should be in their genre. Are you saying that in 20 years time, Gibbard and Mercer will automatically become dinosaurs of indie music and therefore you wouldn't and shouldn't be interested in seeing them because they will be "hacks?"

So, if you dont like rock and like only indie music then how can you even have an opinion on FNM? How can you call them mediocre?

I don't believe a person can be as stupid as indicated by your argument. Therefore I reckon you're just shit-stirring. If that's the case, then you deserve every sort of insult under the sun.

Answer me something: if there was a shear plastic wall in front of you, about four times your height, do you think you could climb it? Tell me honestly.

i have seen every secret mike patton shoe played in brisbane from maldoror where vomit was plentifully forthcoming purely from the decibel range, (that i know of), bungle three times, fantomas countless times, but never faith. are they really coming here?

saimagizzle said on the 14th Jun, 2009

Comparing Shins to FNM is like Enya to Beethoven. Not even ballpark, not even city, not even country. Just shut up.

Awesome setlist. If they come here, it will be awesome. So awesome.

Hey all.. the gig was webcast, I stayed up till 6am to catch FNM's set, and tried to record the webcast stream but the video part didn't work.. managed to get the audio though. It was an awesome set they played great, and awesome to read that they will be hitting Oz...

You gotta be joking you turkey, Buzz is the farking king and Melvins riffs are some of the fattest around. He commands attention, and his voice has the ability to soar over his mangled yet gorgeous guitar tones. I love the lyrics, and the production on Melvins albums always leaves me slack jawed.

Dude, with that comment I know to ignore your opinion cause you are the a negative reproduction of my views. Note to self: lineofbestfit criticizes amazing music and bags what I like. Easy, no flame war needed, just a big barrel of ignore for you. Now I will continue on with my opinions for the people who agree with me :P

Fantomas are an amazing live band and when they teamed up with Melvins for the Big Band tour, well you know what? I think I have seen music reach its heavyness peak. Two drummers, Patton, Buzz, Dunn, what an orgy of heavyness.

FNM reforming is a good thing in my opinion as they are still relevant and are at the top of their game performance wise, I can't wait to see them again in Oz as I went to every tour from Angel Dust onward.

Take it from our drummer, Puff.. being good, it gets you... stuff.
