Faith No More Reunion Rumour

• 5th Dec 2008

Finally, a reunion rumour we can get excited about. Although, I should probably point out that this is very much a rumour at the moment and might not happen.

Anyway, Kerrang! report that several UK venues have been placed on hold for shows that would form part of a Faith No More reunion tour next spring. A number of festivals are apparently also trying to secure the band for next summer.

But how likely is this? The band's dislike for each other, particularly in the lead up to their split in 1998, is pretty well documented. But then, they never really liked each other, by all accounts, and it was that hatred that made them such a great live band. It's possible that in 10 years they've mellowed to each other.

Bassist Billy Gould says all the speculation is pointless, anyway. He told Kerrang!: “If anything like this were to happen, it would have to come from the band, and I haven't spoken with any of them in over a year. So as far as I know, there isn't anything to talk about, and I'm pretty sure that if you were to contact [frontman Mike] Patton, he would tell you the same thing”.
