FAITH NO MORE: Berlin Headlining Show Announced - Apr. 17, 2009

According to Eventim, Europe's largest ticketing company, reunited influential '90s alt-metal band FAITH NO MORE will play a headlining show at Kindl-Bühne Wuhlheide in Berlin, Germany on June 16.

Upcoming FAITH NO MORE shows:

Jun. 12 - Download - Donington Park UK
Jun. 13 - Greenfield - Interlaken, Switzerland
Jun. 14 - Rock in Idro - Milan, Italy
Jun. 16 - Kindl-Bühne Wuhlheide - Berlin, Germany
Jun. 19 - Nova Rock - Nickelsdorf, Austria
Jun. 20 - Southside - Tuttlingen, Germany
Jun. 21 - Hurricane - Scheebel, Germany
Jun. 24 - Kaisaniemi Park - Helsinki, Finland
Jun. 25 - Hovefestivalen - Arendal, Norway
Jun. 27 - Peace & Love - Borlänge, Sweden

FAITH NO MORE rehearsed on March 4, 2009 for the first time in over 10 years, according to a Twitter update by the group's bassist, Billy Gould.

So far, no North American appearances are on the radar, but according to Gould, "U.S. shows are not out of the question."

As speculated, original guitarist Jim Martin will not be part of the reunion. Performing in his place will be Jon Hudson, who played with FAITH NO MORE during the latter stages of its initial run after Martin departed.

The rest of the band's best-known lineup — singer Mike Patton, Gould, drummer Mike "Puffy" Bordin and keyboardist Roddy Bottum — will be intact.

	FNM ain't shit without Jim Martin being there. Count me out if there's a U.S. tour.

	Listen to 'surprise your dead' it has tons of great riffs. You are obviously ill-informed and or deaf because all FNM's guitarists have been great.

	COMMENT \| Old Fart posted by : morphia 4/17/2009 10:55:38 PM

	You do realise 'Mr Bungle' and 'Faith No More' separate entities and completely unalike? I think Bungle is pretty crap also but does not take anything away from FNM

	"FNM ain't shit without Jim Martin being there. Count me out if there's a U.S. tour." I agree completely. I'm a huge FNM fan, in fact Angel Dust is my alltime favorite album, but they're nothing without Big Jim.

	"wish martin was playing with them. but than again i saw martin play with them in 1989 opening for Metallica in mountain view ca. epic show." Nice pun...

	COMMENT \| Jim Martin is unnecessary posted by : BrainRotMenacer 4/18/2009 1:09:32 AM

	The guy hated Angel Dust. He just wanted to rehash The Real Thing. Who gives a shit? Jon Hudson is an excellent guitarist and will fill the role very well.

	I remember when I was a kid and at the record store I saw "The Real Thing" CD and the song War Pigs on the back. I never heard of the band and I was thinking, WOW! This Faith No More must be a hard metal band if they did a cover of a Black Sabbath song! So I bought the CD and I was UNpleasantly surprised when I heard the singer rapping. The band set me up with the War Pigs song and stole my money.

	Hey Metallica is my fav band dude, anyone else is going to seem to be lacking in the riff department compared to their classic stuff, no doubt. But they were and arguably still are a thrash metal band while FNM is alternative rock pretty much. You can't really compare the guitar styles especially in terms of intricacy because they are totally different genres. And Justice For All suits having complex guitar parts and song structures while FNM's Album of the Year suits having very simple well thought out riffs

	COMMENT \| Wow posted by : elpee 4/18/2009 2:52:14 AM

	SO many haters! FNM were one of the bands that steered me into rock & metal & I think they're still one of my favourite all-time bands. they're not METAL though, and Jim Martin, although great for The Real Thing was NOT the best guitarist FNM had

	What "Brainrotmenacer" said... and if Jim Martin is so goddamn relevant then why is it the only thing he's been known for IN THE PAST 17 YEARS SINCE BEING IN FAITH NO MORE is growing fucking giant pumpkins? Have Jon throw on a curly wig and some shades and let's have a fucking blast

	Get a life moron!

	You're comparing FNM "riffs" to old school Metallica riffs- and basing FNM's net worth on THAT??? WOW. Faith No More was never a "metal" band focused on face melting riffs young padawan. FNM's music is timeless due to their creativity and they always have had their own distinct sound. Mike Patton is second to none in terms of versatility as a vocalist. Get your head checked son...

	Play the USA

	this band is about as exciting (and relevant) as an episode of Twin Peaks.
