FAITH NO MORE PLAYING COACHELLA?

 Tuesday, January 19th, 2010 at 11:15am by

Vince is living it up in sunny Los Angeles this week, but he just sent me this:

We’ve known since October that the Faith No More reunion would finally be hitting the U.S. this year, but now it’s extra-super-duper-official. I’m assuming this will part of a full tour – but if it’s not, I guess I’m going to Coachella in April…

    Yeah!! And David Guetta is gonna be there!! Awesome!!!

    You would get to see Muse and Porcupine Tree on Saturday tho…

    • SourDeez

      Hey come on, David Guetta’s not so bad.*

      *if you’ve just taken quite a bit of ecstasy.

      • bearbomb

        Do people still do ecstasy? Really?

        • Freedom35

          Obviously you have never been to Australia.

  • smear

    Dillinger and Baroness also…

    enjoy wading through a sea of west coast hipsters… Coachella is a joke of a festival… i’ll catch FNM somewhere else….

    • stu1

      How’s it a “joke” any more than any other American festival?

  • SxPxDxCx

    I’m catching FNM in Sydney next month as Soundwave. I’m psyched.
    I guess no Soundgarden for Coachella this year.

    • Freedom35

      See you there!

  • bucketochicken

    Wow, Gil Scott-Heron. That’d be pretty cool.

  • The Ogre

    Not too sunny right now, its dumping buckets out here..

    No Chuck means I don’t care a lot.

    At least there’s DEP, Baroness, Les Claypool, Porcupine Tree, Orbital, De La Soul, Plastikman, and Talvin Singh. Not enough to warrant flying to Cali and throwin’ down way too much hard earned cash though. Pass.

    • SourDeez

      Wait, by Chuck you mean Chuck Moseley? Seriously?

      • http://www.facebook.com/people/Corey-Mitchell/660352330 Corey Mitchell

        Yes. Seriously.

        • stu1

          HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
          Can’t you catch him at some roadside bar w/ 8 of his biggest fans???

    FNM opening for muse? Fuck that bullshit.

    • stu1

      1st of all, on big fests like that, the second to last spot is often the best of the night. However/2nd, Muse are WAY WAY WAY WAY bigger than Faith No More. They may not sell more records than FNM did in their prime, but they’re a MUCH bigger live draw than Faith No More EVER were.

  • seagoat

    Sunny Los Angeles ?!? Ha ha, it is pouring all week long here. Does that mean we can blame Vince for the crappy weather?

    Excited about the FNM show but I’ll probably skip Coachella and wait for the headline tour.

    Calle 13 ruless ass Im digin Yo La Tengo 2

  • Facebook User

    We care Alot….. about getting a chance to see faith no more in concert sometime this year.

  • Chainsaw Majini

    Portugal. The Man is playing too. Fuckin awesome band.

    • scramblor

      Right On. The Portugal The Man/Rx Bandits (also on the Coachella bill) show I caught a couple years ago was one of the best I’ve ever seen.

  • Hammer_Smashed_Hurtt

    Nuthin but dirty fucking hipppies, hipsters and assholes wearin ed hardy…and Jay fucking Z…fuck that noise.

    • stu1

      I’d be willing to bet there’d be less than 1% of the crowd wearing Ed Hardy stuff.

  • Henk

    And nobody finds it strange that Gorillaz is a headliner?

    • http://www.seanoandjefe.blogspot.com seano

      GorillaZ= irrelevent..Hard to see a big screen with cartoons on it in the Indio sun. Baroness-Most definitely relevant. I hope they team up w/ FNM and beat those Pavement guys senseless.

      • stu1

        You realize “headliner” means last, which means “night time,” right?

  • Henk

    I know this is metalsucks. But I think that Gorillaz actually playing something is worth mentioning. To my knowledge this is the first time they do a festival. I was just surprised that nobody seems to think its that strange.

    • stu1

      I don’t think it’s strange, at all. I thought they’d done this before, but I could be wrong. I don’t think it got mentioned because they’re just not a big deal anymore.

  • http://lavidastrangiato.blogspot.com/ Jake Strangiato

    I would go just for Coheed and Cambria, but to be able to see Muse, Jay-Z, TCV, Gorillaz, FNM, Baroness (who were amazing when I saw them in Austin), and Les Claypool (who was also amazing when I saw him in Austin) would be one great show. Pity I don’t live anywhere close to it.

    • hackman

      dude seeing jay-z at coachella would be the fuckin tits! great artist, great performer, if you can’t appreciate than you, well, you’re opinion of music kinda sucks. w/ baroness (incredible in hollywood) and DEP (who I still don’t get but would be stoked to see em live), plus them crooked vultures will certainly be interesting to see/judge crowd enthusiasm. so i’m definitely considering getting a one-day pass for the first day. yeah there’s hipsters and hippies, and yeah its concert festival meets rave, but it’s worth it. ya know, unless you only listen to Portal

      • dot

        if you try counting to past 4, you’ll get DEP.

        • http://lavidastrangiato.blogspot.com/ Jake Strangiato

          Not necessarily. I’m a huge fan of progressive/technical rock and metal, but I don’t really enjoy DEP, not really my cup of tea. Also, it’s interesting that DEP and Coheed are playing since Chris Pennie used to be in DEP.

    Oh my god

    Muse? Faith No More? Coheed and Cambria? DEVO?

    ALL ON THE SAME DAY?!?!?!?!

    FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

  • dot

    sad at why “echo and the bunnymen” has a bigger font than DEP and porcupine tree. who the fuck are those guys?

    • PaxlRose

      I admit it, I’ve been to my share of death metal concerts, but I know the song “Lips Like Sugar” by Echo and the Bunnymen.

    • stu1

      You’ve never heard of Echo and the Bunnymen?? REALLY???? Did you miss the 80s? They have a bigger font because they’re pretty legendary. Have you heard of the Psychedelic Furs??

  • metalguy

    How about Sytem of a down FNM co-headliner? anyone?

  • Nikki

    anybody besides me excited for yann tiersen???

  • Double D

    HOLY SHIT! PiL!!! Goddamn, I wanna go. I can’t believe Public Image Limited will be there. It’d be cool to see Johnny Rotten perform live.

    • William Grimmkvlt

      It would be awesome if it was the Second Edition lineup of Lydon/Wobble/Levene/Atkins but the other three hate Lydon so that probably won’t happen.

    • PaxlRose

      I saw PiL in ’88 open for INXS. This was definitely an example of the opening act upstaging the main act!
