The official statement from the band:
Faith No More has always stood out as some sort of unique beast; part
dog, part cat–its music almost as schizophrenic as the personalities of
its members. When it all worked, it worked really well, even if the
chemistry was always volatile. Throughout our 17 years of existence, the
mental and physical energy required to sustain this creature was
considerable and relentless. Though amicable enough, when we finally
split, we all followed paths seemingly destined to opposite ends of the
universe.
Yet during the entire 10 years that have passed since our decision to
break up we've experienced constant rumors and requests from fans and
promoters alike. Nevertheless, for whatever reason, none of us kept in
regular touch, much less to discuss any possibilities of getting
together.
What's changed is that this year, for the first time, we've all decided
to sit down together and talk about it. And what we've discovered is
that time has afforded us enough distance to look back on our years
together through a clearer lens and made us realize that through all the
hard work, the music still sounds good, and we are beginning to
appreciate the fact that we might have actually done something right.
Meanwhile we find ourselves at a moment in time with zero label
obligations, still young and strong enough to deliver a kickass set,
with enthusiasm to not only revisit our past but possibly add something
to the present. And so with this we've decided to hold our collective
breaths and jump off this cliff….
BACK, GOD FORBID, INTO THE MONKEY CAGE!!!
We can only hope that the experience of playing together again will
yield results erratic and unpredictable enough to live up to the legacy
of FNM.
Who know where this will end or what it will bring up…only the future
knows. But we are about to find out!
FAITH NO MORE are:
Mike Bordin, Roddy Bottum, Bill Gould, Jon Hudson and Mike Patton
