MIKE PATTON Doesn't Rule Out FAITH NO MORE Reunion
Artisan News Service reports: Mike Patton, currently fronting MONDO CANE and about four other different bands, made his mark in the late '80s, early '90s fronting FAITH NO MORE. It was the band's "The Real Thing" album that created the funk-metal craze, opened the door for the RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS brand of funk-rock, and tipped off what would become the nu-metal revolution. Bands as diverse as KORN and the MIGHTY MIGHTY BOSSTONES benefitted from their groundbreaking work, with songs like "Epic" and "From Out Of Nowhere". Throw in NIRVANA, and the alternative revolution was born.
Artisan News Service spoke to Mike Patton and asked him if he thought "The Real Thing" would be as influential to music as any album in the last 20 years.
On whether he is aware of "The Real Thing"'s influence:
Patton: "No, but it's not my place to criticize. I just make the music and put it out there. Where it fits in the world, how important it is, how important it isn't is up to people like you. I have nothing to say about it."
On how he remembers his days with FAITH NO MORE:
Patton: "Fondly. They were good years. It was a decade of my life. It was lots of ups and lots of downs, but ultimately that's where I learned my chops and learned the craft and the business."
With "The Real Thing" celebrating 20 years next year, is there a possibility of getting back together with the FAITH NO MORE guys?
Patton: "I wouldn't rule it out. I don't think we would need to reform the band, but maybe there's other things we can do together."

If you disagree, that's cool. Just my opinion.
it is cool 
thats what we try to promote here .... my opinion is just as valid as yours. 
but yeah i know what you mean about DJ wisecracks...but i think that part of the reasaon behind that is the band hasnt released any material..but again we wont know until there is official material for the media to judge them on
#11896 Re: Guns N' Roses » Eddie Trunk on Chinese Democracy » 981 weeks ago
welcome to the board boston george & we're glad you like the board 
i agree that the "wait" will be a hot topic if and when the album is ever released as well as the "where's Slash?" question. and it will be interesting to see the interest this new gnr generates in the media as well as its sales figures and how they stack against other current band. but until it gets out there its just opinons and well wishing.
Unfortunately...or fortunately, depending on where you sit on the fence, the old guys are gone and a reunion looks not very likely in the near future so it hink that whole argument is pretty much a moot point but beleive it when i say its been debated to death but yes it would be fnatastic if axl and slash and duff could put their differences aside ans even just appologise to each other
I think that joe public would accept this as gnr under a few key condidtons...promotion of them to a disgusting degree...every mag and radio station and video channel providing interviews with the guys on a get to know basis....and a couple strong singles out of the gate...again depending on where you sit i think that its possible for the public to accept this band and embrace it, but the public has to know who they are first and maybe even why they were brought there, not a pointing fingers sort of explination but as close to the truth as possible story...

Britney Has Multiple Personality Disorder?
01/18/2008(antiMusic) We've more or less had an embargo on Britney stories for the past couple weeks as they have become more and more frivolous. However, we have to break that embargo for a very strange report from TMZ which claims that Britney suffers from the rather serious and rare mental illness known as multiple personality disorder. This may explain some of her more bizarre behavior, then again the pressure of living under the media microscope might be a more believable explanation. Here is the TMZ story: Sources are now painting a very disturbing picture of Britney Spears, or whoever she happens to be at any given moment.
We're told the whole British accent thing -- well, it's more than an accent. Britney has multiple personalities, including, as people in her life call it, "the British girl." We're told when Spears loses the British personality, she has absolutely no idea what she did during the time she assumed that personality.Sources say Brit has a number of other identities, where she becomes "the weepy girl, the diva, the incoherent girl," and on and on. Sources say Britney had become the British girl the day she didn't show for her deposition and has no recollection of it
