FNM leaves out Jim Martin! 2009-02-18 by kygermo | 16 Comments | (Ripped from blabbermouth.net)
Rumors are gaining momentum that the hugely infuential '90s alt-metal band FAITH NO MORE is planning to reunite for a number of European festival appearances this summer. A source close to guitarist Jim Martin, who was in the group from 1983 until 1993, has told BLABBERMOUTH.NET that the axeman expressed interest in taking part in the reunion after being recently contacted by keyboardist Roddy Bottum and a member of FAITH NO MORE's management team, but that the band inexplicably decided to utilize a different guitarist — believed to be one of several musicians that were in FAITH NO MORE following Martin's exit from the group — for the upcoming dates.
Although Kerrang! magazine reported in November that a number of U.K. concert venues had been placed on hold for FAITH NO MORE dates next spring, bassist Billy Gould downplayed the speculation, saying, "If anything like this were to happen, it would have to come from the band, and I haven't spoken with any of them in over a year."
Meanwhile, U.K. promoter Andy Copping also said FAITH NO MORE's return this year was unlikely, telling Metal Hammer, "FAITH NO MORE haven't managed to get that PR machine together ... All of the band members haven't agreed to do it."
Martin left FAITH NO MORE in 1993 due to "internal conflicts" and was replaced by FNM singer Mike Patton's MR. BUNGLE bandmate Trey Spruance. Trey also exited soon after recording 1995's "King for a Day... Fool for a Lifetime", just before the band was to begin a world tour. Spruance was replaced by Dean Menta, the band's guitar roadie. FAITH NO MORE's final studio CD, "Album of the Year", was released in 1997 and featured yet another new guitarist, Jon Hudson, who was a former roommate of Billy Gould.

Wow. I'd travel a long way to see them play. I'm wearing my King For A Day, Fool for a Lifetime t-shirt right now.

Personally it doesnt make a difference to me. Martin barely played on Angel Dust and this was when FNM were starting to be at their peak. Just get Jon Hudson or Dean Menta. Or Trey Spruence (yeaaaaah right!)

europe? why
| | |
^^ Way I see it, theyll start in Europe and if they get a good reaction (which they most definitely will), then theyll bring it to the states.
| | |
Bring on the UK dates, Jim Martin or not...
| | |
Yeah whats with the europe dates? Either way, I think you forget Martin's work, maybe not on Angel Dust, but what about The Real Thing? That album was fucking ridiculous, Martin will be missed on this tour...though based off Gould's comments, it still seems like this thing isn't going to happen forsure

Jim Martin gets no love - he was the best guitarist in FNM, maybe not in talent (compared to Spruance, anyways) but in how he fit the band. "Cowboy Song" has some of the best guitar work of that band's career. PLUS he wrote "Jizzlobber" and most of The Real Thing which says it all.
| | |
For sure, Angel Dust had the best guitar work.
| | |
The Real Thing, while a good record, really aint shit compared to AD and KFAD
| | |
Martin or not, I will die the happiest of men if this happens this summer......... Come onnnn!!!

If the "reunited" incarnation of the band is the same one that made it onto MTV, I'll pass. After Chuck Mosley was booted, I thought this band was worthless. "Introduce Yourself" was the be-all and end-all of FNM albums, as far as I'm concerned.This Message Edited On 02.19.09

that's a very very strange opinion
| | |
Haha Patton helped shape FNM, Mosley was a fucking joke. There were the odd few songs on Introduce Yourself, but The Real Thing and Angel Dust are by far this bands top work. Mosley made it on MTV with We Care a Lot, but this will be the good incarnation of the band rather than the piss poor version.
| | |
I still would pay HUGE money to see FNM play.
| | |
Big Jim has bigger things to do.
