FAITH NO MORE REUNION EUROPE ONLY FOR NOW

Faith No More have confirmed a 2009 Reunion tour this Summer and Mike Patton shares his thoughts on learning his chops after a decade in the band

After much speculation, Faith No More have officially announced they will be performing live together for the first time since 1998. Although tour dates have yet to be announced, Mike Patton’s publicist released a statement which mentioned the band was set to perform a run of European festival dates this Summer. Faith No More fans can only hope things go well enough that the band will announce a major headlining tour in The U.S. although nothing is set yet.

In an earlier interview Mike Patton shared his thoughts on learning his musical chops and the music business after a decade in Faith No More and how he looks back on those days.

“Fondly. They were good years. You know it was a decade of my life so it’s lots of ups, lots of downs but ultimately that’s where I learned my chops and learned the craft and the business.”

Mike Patton recently completed scoring his first feature film for “”Crank 2: High Voltage,” which will be released in theaters on April 17th. The always busy Mike Patton recently concluded a run of Australian tour dates with Fantomas as well. Next on Patton’s busy agenda will be a performance with Ex Roots member Rahzel at Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival in April, despite ongoing speculation about a possible Faith No More appearance. Look for Faith No More to announce their European tour in the coming weeks.
