O retorno do Faith no More

Quando eu comecei a acompanhar o rock, em 1997 - 1998, quatro bandas foram importantes para mim: Smashing Pumpkins, Radiohead, REM, e Faith no More.

Até hoje estas 4 bandas tem um significado muito importante para mim, tanto que a música "Tonight Tonight" do Smashing Pumpkins é a música da minha vida.

Eu tenho uma conta na rede social Facebook e acompanho os boletins de várias bandas. E uma delas está voltando: Faith no More. Veja a notícia abaixo:


"FAITH NO MORE bassist Bill Gould has released the following statement to BLABBERMOUTH.NET:

Faith No More has always stood out as some sort of unique beast; part dog, part cat--its music almost as schizophrenic as the personalities of its members. When it all worked, it worked really well, even if the chemistry was always volatile. Throughout our 17 years of existence, the mental and physical energy required to sustain this creature was considerable and relentless. Though amicable enough, when we finally split, we all followed paths seemingly destined to opposite ends of the universe.

Yet during the entire 10 years that have passed since our decision to break up we've experienced constant rumors 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 realize 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 kickass 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 know where this will end or what it will bring up...only the future knows. But we are about to find out!"

E já saiu a data do primeiro show: será no evento Download Festival 2009, que irá acontecer de 12 a 14 de junho de 2009 no Reino Unido. Fora o Faith no More ainda terá a presença das bandas Anvil, Billy Talent, Buckcherry, Def Leppard, Devildriver, Dragonforce, Dream Theater, Killswithc Engage, Korn, Limp Bizkit, Marilyn Manson, Motley Crue, Pendulum, Slipknot, The Blackout, The Prodigy, Trivium, Whitesnake e ZZ Top.

Smashing Pumpkins também é a trilha da minha vida (junto com The Cure, é obvio...).

Gosto muito de três músicas:
- Try, try, try
- Stand inside your love
- The sacred and profane

"Disarm" era minha favorita. Mas ela me faz lembrar de fragmentos do passado que eu devo esquecer, então virou uma música "proibida".

Abraços
