RSS Posted June 17, 2012 Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 With Album of the Year it's the end of the Faith No More coverage, for now, but put on your baggy pants, turn on your Discman, and take a journey back to 1997 with Desmond and Damien as they talk about that year in music. But this episode features what has to be the longest tangent the podcast has ever entertained, and answers many questions that probably shouldn't have been asked: Why does Damien want to be one of the band members from Hanson? What is the topic of the upcoming Weird Al parody of a Faith No More song? Is a thrash song about e-mail prophetic or ridiculous? There are more, but I refuse to fill the notes with questions. Or do I? Solos are whistled, bands are named, vinyl is discussed, surprises are had, and water is coconutted. Plus, the guys go through some feedback and pick the next band!

James D. Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 You guys should make the show's motto/tagline, "The Culmination of the Internet". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James D. Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 Nice wrap-up of the FNM era. I lost count of how many times Des busted out into nigh-uncontrollable laughter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James D. Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 Meant to comment on this when I was listening, but as far as Five Finger Death Punch goes, I actually think they're okay for modern radio metal (though a large chunk of their discography is definitely not radio-friendly). I'm not some big fan of theirs or anything, but I think when you look at all the other garbage filling the radio these days, FFDP is pretty decent, comparatively speaking at least. Granted, I'm not exactly the foremost expert on modern heavy metal, nor am I looking at them from a music critic's viewpoint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 See, for me, In Flames is as close to modern radio metal as I get. Also, here are the music videos talked about in length: Stripsearch Last Cup of Sorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
passenger Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 Yes Des I dislike metallica. They are not the worse band to ever grace my ears. I will be honest I fear when you guys get to them, but I also am looking forward to it. Who knows my mind just might be changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James D. Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 I, obviously, am chomping at the bit for the duo to cover Metallica. You know, since they're my favorite band ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 It's on both our lists. It will happen before all is said and done. Really excited for the next band though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 For your moment of zen before the end of the FNM era, here's Mike Bordin on Who Wants to Be A Millionaire? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LE0nWeQjjEE&feature=related Note: Rob Trujillo (fellow Ozzy Osbourne bandmate and now Metallica bassist is with him) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Stubris Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 Great finale guys. Enjoyed the Prince reference..although a lack of ego won't allow myself to believe it was personally directed I saw FNM tour this album in '97 at The Academy in Manchester..It was fucking awesome. The show started with Patton alone onstage playing 'Midnight Cowboy' with a melodica..and ended with a transcendental rendition of 'Pristina'..a song which I had already rated a highlight of the album, but would take on extra significance after that particular gig. 'Paths of Glory' is shit sandwich though. Looking forward to NIN. I'm of the opinion that the 'Pretty Hate Machine' 'Broken' 'The Downward Spiral' run is as good as it ever got for Reznor. I'm hoping you guys can open my eyes to some gems I may have discarded too readily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 I'm sure our coverage of Pretty Hate Machine will be...interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 I'm already arguing in my head with the list of things I know Des is going to say. I swear, it's like we're married. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 I'd say you have no clue what I think, but what you pulled on me in Lord of this World makes me think twice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted July 5, 2014 Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 So, over the past few years of touring, it has become apparent through various metal sites and FNM's own personal social media stuff, including a brand new official FNM account, that the band is becoming friendly again. Culminating, of course, in new music. Two new songs performed live at hyde Park yesterday in London (leave it to aith No More to perform a 4th of July show in England...) The first song is kind of boring, but appears to be titled "Get The Motherfucker on the Phone" http://youtu.be/kCDGNZPuHoo The second, far more interesting, might be called "Superhero" and has kind of a KING FOR A DAY... kind of vibe. I love it: http://youtu.be/klg2RMJYvPE Of course, I'll reserve judgements for the actual album, which I expect to be announced before the end of summer.

Guest Posted July 5, 2014 Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 Let's see if FNM or Tool can get something new out first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted July 5, 2014 Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 I wouldn't be surprised if FNM beats them to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
