Faith No More han lanzado un comunicado de prensa oficial confirmando ya sin lugar a dudas la reunión de la banda para algunos festivales europeos este verano. Como informa Kerrang!, formarán parte de la gira de reunión los implicados en la grabación de “Album of the Year” del año 1997, esto es: Mike Patton, Bill Gould, Roddy Bottum, Mike Bordin y el guitarrista Jon Hudson (curiosamente el único que no entraba en las quinielas). A continuación os reproducimos el texto íntegro de la nota difundida por la banda:
Yet during the entire 10 years that have passed since our decision to break up we’ve experienced constant rumours 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 realise 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 kick-ass 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 knows where this will end or what it will bring up…only the future knows. But we are about to find out!”
