Update: We have confirmation that there will definitely be a reunion. Definitely. Mike Patton’s rep said she should have the lineup confirmed by morning, hopefully, and would send over more info then. And Roddy Bottum’s rep says he’s for sure in. That’s the good news. The bad news: There will only be European dates, no U.S. ones.
Below is the rest of our post from last Thursday…
So yesterday, Blabbermouth.net furthered/created speculation about a Faith No More reunion — and added that, were this to be, original frizzy-haired guitarist Jim Martin would not be in the line-up. Which would kinda suck, and make the reunion all the less special. (Yes, I was just getting a little wistful. Sniff.) It’s possible this is all just a lot of blabbing on the ‘mouth‘s part, mostly fabricated off their retread last month of a Billboard story saying FNM singer Mike Patton would perform solo at Coachella in April (or at least without his old band; there was something about him sharing the stage "withbeatboxer Rahzel"). But with Blink-182, No Doubt, and Limp Bizkit reunions this summer, the timing does seem ripe. We placed a couple calls to see if there’s anything to all this, and will update this post if we get any decent info. In the meantime, we’ll all have to get by with this clip, which is "Epic" indeed.
Anyone psyched about the notion of a Faith No More reunion? What if it happened without Martin?

Blink-182 reunite — to tour with Green Day? No Doubt!
Beyond psyched, even without Martin. Mike “Puffy” Bordin is one of my drumming heroes, and as much as I’v enjoyed his playing with Ozzy, FNM is probably the best showcase for his talents. The rest of the guys aren’t that bad, either.
I would love to see this reunion. Epic is one of those stand alone songs that gets you psyched up for good music.
Yes YEs Yes! Please let this be true. Faith No More are one of the most underated hard rock bands ever! I would be so happy if they got back together. Mike Patton is one of the best vocalists recorded music has ever seen.
Mid-life Crisis. Literally!

It’s not FNM without Chuck Mosely and Jim Martin.
as long as the original “musician” lineup is intact, i could care less if Patton is involved.
They sucked in the early 90s and I’m guessing that hasn’t changed much.
It would be cool if they were getting back together for a tour. They are one of the bands that I never got around to seeing so it would be nice to see them (although no US tour
). I would prefer to see Martin with the band. And I always felt Mosely’s “vocal stylings” really worked with the earlier material. I guess what I’m saying is that since his vocals were not that great they lent a very indie/garage feel which really worked. I’m gonna go dig up some of the old stuff!
This is the greatest news since ever! Don’t really much care if Martin is in it, but I’m totally psyched that Patton is!!!
“They sucked in the early 90s and I’m guessing that hasn’t changed much.”
You are f**king idiot. Go back to listening to Fall Out Boy, champ.
JACKL – u would have to be the biggest tool on the whole of the internet -u clown.. what sort or f**khead goes on a fan forum/website to actually bag that band? get a life u tosser.. GR8 TO HEAR FNM ARE BACK, HOPE IT GOES WELL!.. new album sometime?..
“”It’s not FNM without Chuck Mosely and Jim Martin”"?
You handicap. Mosely couldn’t sing for sh!t and Martin’s guitars never drove the band. Not to mention 2 of the best 3 FNM albums didn’t feature Martin at all.
Patton, Gould, Bordin, Bottum + whichever guitar player they choose is A1 with me. Doubt it’ll happen though.
Well, Chuck was a pretty fine composer, in this year will release a new album!!, and Jim Martin is a FNM’S cornerstone in early career, We Care A Lot and Introduce Yourself are awesome albums, but the core of FNM are BILLY GOULD AND MIKE BORDIN, ever.

Go back to listening the the Jonas Brothers little girl.
