A View From the Pit

PHOTOS: FAITH NO MORE IN BROOKLYN, NY, JULY 2ND, 2010

faith no more

Once again, Ms. Jacqueline Cheng has come through with a stellar batch of photos for MetalSucks. This time the task at hand — as if this could even be considered a chore — was Faith No More’s first East Coast show in who knows how many years on the night of Friday, July 2nd in Brooklyn, NY, over-looking the Manhattan skyline sunset. Jackie’s lens perfectly captured the feeling of what it was like to be there, and although we’re a bit jealous of her photo pit and side-stage views we had plenty of fun up in the pit with everyone else.

Her photos of this most epic of nights after the jump.

      I think you mean “suave.”

      I’m sorry they can’t be large and sweaty tattooed dudes with long hair.

      Faith No More or legends, and I think the suits are more ironic than anything else.

        *are legends.

          Faith No More is great but i wouldn’t call them legends.
          Mike Patton is a legend, but with Mr. Bungle.
          Mr. Bungle > Faith No More

          im not saying “large and sweaty tattooed dudes with long hair” aren’t ridiculous too – but FnM looks like an over-the-hill cover band that plays 70’s-80’s pop music at the local yacht club.

          Just cause they’ve been around forever and the metal sucks staff swing on their nuts, doesn’t mean I have to join in.

        Please explain the irony of the suits. I need to hear this.

          Their stage antics and their behavior back in the day. Mike Patton supposedly drank piss that was thrown at him when they opened for Guns and Roses/Metallica. Patton also recently flashed his dick on stage, and I think I read a story somewhere that he took a shit in some other artist’s dressing room.

        I’m so glad there can still be a healthy dosage of irony in this world without resorting to being a fucking hipster….

      If by corny you mean classy, suave, giants of musical talent you could never touch? Sure- corny.

      • Cokane

        They’ve done the suits before,on their last tour.It used to be all black and white…Now,for the reunion it’s full of colors.But…WHO CARES A LOT about what they’re dressing,anyway?It’s fucking Faith No More.

    I thought there were going to be NSFW pics of Faith No More blowing Axl.

  • Moose_Knuckle

    Beautiful photographic work Ms. Jacqueline Cheng!

    If anybody has a decent audio bootleg of this show, I’m all ears. I want to re-live the acapella ending on Midlife Crisis.

    are they ever gonna do a full u.s. tour? I’d love to see em hit Dallas or Houston.

  • Mikeless

    Yeah I agree, Bungle is more legendary but FNM are legends as well. they may look like the Godfather, but they can make some of the softest, yet heaviest music ever. None of these queers today have sh!t on Patton. Sh!t lives forever!

    • CrusherDestroyer

      Call me crazy, but I think Mr Bungle, Fantomas, and Tomahawk all suck. FNM is awesome, but beyond that I could never understand why everyone thought Patton’s other shit was that good.

      • Adam J.

        You’re crazy. Mr. Bungle, Lovage, Peeping Tom, Tomahawk = all good.

        You’re bad at listening to music.

  • LoomeyTunes

    WTF is that all about? I would imagin that most of the people on here are not CEO’s, lawyers or Hollywood types…get a clue before you spam a site. ……Words how do they work?
