Faith No More schrijft metalgeschiedenis met Londense reünie-show
Een verslag en de setlist van dit memorable concert, het eerste van de Europese tour, tesamen met een low-fi video opname van het nummer 'Evidence' vind je terug op de website van Rolling Stone Magazine.
Quote:”Faith No More were always left-field, yet inadvertently created some awesome songs with mass appeal. Last night was about a band rediscovering their special chemistry, and proving good music only improves with age.” -- Rolling Stone

Check ook volgende quotes in de Britse pers:
“This is not a nostalgia trip; this is a truly inspiring piece of musical history showing no signs of losing its relevance. Now this was a reformation truly worth waiting for." -- Rock Sound
“If The Pixies reunion showed that classic bands can reform with dignity and deliver their songs with at least some of their original intent, then last night Faith No More proved it’s possible to retain the capacity to shock and surprise your fans. A truly staggering return.” -- BBC 6 Music
“Reunions can be soul-destroying occasions where your memories are smashed to smithereens and your dreams of finally seen your heroes are dashed by greedy sons of bitches just playing the hits badly and taking your cash. What you’ll get with FNM is an authentic FNM experience. If they want to do soul covers, they’ll do them. If they want to do little known album tracks, they’ll do them. If they want to bring a tear to your eye via the solo in ‘Epic’, the intro of ‘Easy’ and cutting the music to let the crowd sing the chorus of ‘Midlife Crisis’ (a moment that will live with me for the rest of my days), they’ll do it.” -- Beez, Metal Hammer
“Mike was a true entertainer. Some of his antics included body-rolling whilst doing a handstand – sort of like a gymnast, only less graceful. However, it was his facial expressions and body language that set the tone. He spent a lot of time screaming and rolling around the floor during Jizzlobber and Gentle Art.” -- Fasterlouder
Faith No More treedt op donderdag 20 augustus aan op Pukkelpop als één van de headliners.
