Setlist by Jorgen

So, I got to know Faith no more because I always used to tape this radioshow with live music on dutch radio (called Leidsekade Live). It was 1997, and I remember exactly what the guy on the radio said before and after the show, because I listened to that tape everyday. Unfortunately, I was only 14 then, and not allowed to go to gigs yet. And as we all know, the next year they split up. You can imagine my surprise and absolute elation at the reunion. So my dream setlist is the setlist of the show on the tape, the 30th of april, 1997 at the Paradiso in Amsterdam. By the way, you can find the FM broadcast of this show as a bootleg (and I suggest you do, it's good!).
We care a lot
The gentle art of making enemies ("Ok team, ten fortyseven... ready set hike!")
Evidence
Last cup of sorrow
Epic
Collision
Caffeine (the extended version, you know with the bassline) Mike introduced this "Old song. Eight point five procent alcohol."
That was it, just over 30 minutes of bliss. However, only 30 minutes of my favourite band ever is not enough so here's some more songs I'd love to hear.
Ashes to ashes
Helpless
Zombie eaters
The world is yours
Smaller and smaller
Everything's ruined
The crab song
A small victory
Jizzlobber
Edge of the world
I won't forget you

There are 30 song, I know that FNM play only 20 songs live aprox, but I'm free to dream =D

I saw them once in LA in 97-incredible! I have been lucky enough to see Mr. Bungle, Peeping Tom, and Mike Patton with Zorn/Frith. FNM is my favorite as I love what Bordin, Gould, and Roddy bring to the band.

So many great songs that I left off......this is more hits oriented. would love to hear rarities as well!

thanks,

Setlist by Jawsh

I noticed that many of glorious sets listed on your page were amazingly lengthy. I'll make mine lengthy as well. The more FNM the better, I say! Which to me would mean cutting the covers in favor of Faith No More songs. They can do bits of covers in between songs, I suppose. Honestly, I don't think you could come up with a bad setlist for this band. However, here would be my absolute dream setlist:

1. Gentle Art of Making Enemies
2. Surprise You're Dead
3. Caffiene
4. Ashes to Ashes
5. Everything's Ruined
6. Be Aggressive
7. From Out of Nowhere
8. Midlife Crisis

Feedback?

According to Billy Gould's twitter the band has a list of over 48 songs they're going through...tell us in the comments what you prefer - a tight setlist, consistent throughout the tour, or a varying one that'll radically change each show?

Setlist by Tonio

Hi, I'm Tonio from France. I was lucky enough to see the band six times on stage (1995 & 1997).

Setlist by Ben

I'm not going to spout off an 18 song setlist, that's just unreasonable and unrealistic. The main emphasis on this entire set is MOUTH TO MOUTH! That song has so much energy and punch to it, and is really not that difficult of a song for the guys to rehearse a couple times and rip the hell out of.

As the Worm Turns
Midlife Crisis
Evidence
We Care A Lot
Gentle Art of Making Enemies
Crack Hitler
*** MOUTH TO MOUTH ***
Easy
Smaller and Smaller
Caralho Voador
Last Cup of Sorrow
Surprise Your Dead

I've been a huge FNM fan since I saw the Epic video when I was 10 years old. They were the first live band I ever saw (opening for Metallica and GNR at RFK stadium), and only saw them once more on the final tour.

So it's happening again...if all goes well, I'll be seeing FNM for the sixth time this year. Of the previous five times, he first was in 1992 at Sheffield Arena, the last in 1998 at Brixton Academy. Some of the greatest times of my life.

Setlist by Chris

I have been a FNM fan since 1989 when I was 10 years old.

I was a punky skateboarder kid and was worshipping the Chili Peppers 'Uplift Mofo Party Plan' album and heard from someone that this band Faith No More opened for the Peppers in 1987 which made me curious. Also I remember watching Axl Rose of all people kissing FNM's ass on MTV so I decided to buy 'The Real Thing' which had come out a few months earlier....

1989 saw a lot of great albums released. Nirvana put out 'Bleach' and Nine Inch Nails put out 'Pretty Hate Machine' and of course "The Real Thing' was released. After listening to track 1 'from out of nowhere' i was HOOKED...

1. Gentle Art of Making Enemies (great set opener)
2. Caffeine
3. Midlife Crisis
4. Zombie Eaters (a MUST)
5. The Crab Song
6. Chinese Arithmetic
7. Falling To Pieces
8. Mouth To Mouth
9. We Care A Lot
10. Kindergarten
11. Edge Of The World
12. Everything's Ruined
13. Epic
(This 3 song block can give Patton the chance to scream his head off, do his improv stuff etc)
14. Ugly In The Morning
15. Jizzlobber
16. Cuckoo For Caca
17. Introduce Yourself
18. The Real Thing
19. The Morning After (has not been played since 1990)
20. Be Aggressive
21. Why Do You Bother?
Encore
22. Land Of Sunshine
23. Get Out
24. From Out Of Nowhere (A MUST)

my fav tv performance is this performance on The Word in November 1992. Nirvana had an infamous performance on The Word a year earlier and this performance by FNM is even more legendary. Billy is totally into it and as usual for the AD tour, big Jim seems in another world. Patton has a lot of fun with the crowd as well.

Setlist by Antti

My name is Antti, known in FNM trading circles as Birthdaypony. I am one of many Finnish Faith No More fans. This reunion is a dream come true! I hope you see that you had special magic with your music. Your songs have not gotten old at all. And Billy, Puffy and Roddy, I know you still have the songs in you. Don´t give up on FNM so easily this time, the world is full of talented singers and guitar players who´ll be more than honored to work with you. Keep on going my man...

Now for my setlist:

From Out Of Nowhere
Epic
- (with the spotlight on Roddy during the piano outro
Billy and Jon can change instruments)
Ashes To Ashes
A Small Victory
Evidence
Easy
Be Aggressive
Stripsearch
Midlife Crisis
Last Cup Of Sorrow
Ricochet
Malpractice
- (Patton would help Roddy with some samples with his own keyboard
+ possibilities for some sick noisy jammin´!)
Star AD
- (either FNM´s own or a local brass-section would help with this
OR the brass could be sampled and Patton would help also
with this)
RV
Everything´s Ruined
Digging The Grave
We Care A Lot
-----------
Land Of Sunshine
As The Worm Turns
Caffeine

Thank you!

Setlist by Prankette

Hello,

I'm a FNM fan in Japan. Fortunately, I could get a chance to see the performance by Faith No More (in 1997). I still remember that show - sometimes ugly, sometimes weird, but...all in all, their performance was incredibly BEAUTIFUL.

I'm really glad to hear the news of their comeback, and I know they are not going to come far east, But that's OK because Faith No More had come to Japan many times, so my turn comes.
I'm ready to go to Europe to see their show again, and I'll be wearing "Faith No More/Australiasian Tour 1997" shirt! (I still have this one!).

Setlist by Vanmosa

I'm 37 and live in the Netherlands. Between 1988 and 1998 I saw the band 7 times. Their music always stayed with me. Anything you can think of, I did it listening to Faith No More's music in the background (yes, anything).

For the upcoming summer reunion I'd love to see a 2 hours show (so get in shape both band and crowd). Also 2 songs on audiotape when the band gets on/off stage and a bonus/surprise song somewhere in the middle of the setlist. Some stupid song in the higher regions of today's hitlists.

Intro:
Woodpecker from Mars (on audiotape)
Band gets on stage. Crowd gets crazy.

1. From out of nowhere
2. Get out
3. Chinese arithmetic
4. The crab song
5. We care a lot
6. Falling to pieces
7. Surprise! you're dead
8. The gentle art of making enemies
9. Digging the grave
10. Ugly in the morning
11. Got that feeling
12. Ricochet
13. Ashes to ashes
14. Everything's ruined
15. Kindergarten
16. Caffeine
17. Midlife crisis
18. Epic
19. The real thing
20. Smaller and smaller
21. A small victory

1st Encore:
22. RV
23. King for a day
24. What a day
25. Edge of the world
26. Last cup of sorrow
27. Take this bottle


2nd Encore:
28. Jizzlobber
29. Be Aggressive

Midnight Cowboy (on audiotape)
Band gets off the stage, high on adrenaline. Crowd worn out and done.



Epic performed live @ PARKPOP (Holland) on june 24th 1990 uploaded by justhesame.

Bad quality as it is ripped from a video, but a real treasure as it the only youtube video on FNM at Parkpop.

Setlist by Matt

Before moving on to Matt's setlist, take a look at this - Billy Gould put up this link on his twitter: apparently the announcement regarding FNM headlining the Download festival generated the most traffic on the festivals website...ever! That's pretty awesome, and shows just how excited people are about the FNM reunion.

And now on to Matt's setlist:

Never in a million years did I think this would happen...After reading Billy's statement, I think the band is doing this for the right reasons....
I have had a chance to see FNM 3 times...once in 1992 (My first concert ever) once in 95, and once in 97. Faith No More always challenged (and sometimes pissed off) their fans...that is a GOOD thing...too many bands pander to the masses...I think they should open with Epic to get it out of the way, and then play a bunch of never played/rarely played tracks, with some favorites mixed in...Above all, I think they should play songs that THEY enjoy...that will give the show the best energy.

Epic
Malpractice
Smaller & Smaller
Absolute Zero
Mouth To Mouth
She Loves Me Not
Greenfields
The Last To Know
Mark Bowen
The Crab Song
Zombie Eaters
Midlife Crisis

Keep 'em coming!


Thanks to everyone who submitted their lists! We have a bunch waiting to be put up, but we are spreading them out, so if you sent one in, it will appear in due course. Since we have so many, we will eventually compile a list of the 21 most popular songs as a sort of master setlist based on our votes. Stay tuned.

If you found your way here by means other than Bill Gould's Twitter post from March 11, you might want to have a look as it appears the band is looking in on our blog and may use the information!

Lastly, while these are dream setlists, try to keep them a reasonable length otherwise we could just list every album start to finish and be done with it. The confines of the setlist is what makes this fun and challenging. I left out so many songs I'd love to hear so it's only fair you should too!

Setlist by Matt

I've been an FNM fan for around 18 years and mananged to see them 10 times throughout the 90s, including some overseas festivals. I was in Metal Hammer magazine 11 years ago as the 'FNM Superfan' and have been trading Patton related DVDs and CDs for a good 15 years now.

Looking forward to the Download Festival so much, and thought I'd submit my fantasy setlist.

(Intro) Midnight Cowboy.
1. Ricochet.
2. Land Of Sunshine.
3. From Out Of Nowhere.
4. Stripsearch.
5. Midlife Crisis.
6. RV.
7. Gentle Art Of Making Enemies
8. Be Aggressive.
9. Cuckoo For Caca.
10. King For A Day.
11. Ashes to Ahes.
12. Digging The Grave.
13. We Care A Lot.
14. Jizzlobber.
15. Why Do you Bother?
16. Epic.

Encore

17. Caffeine.
18. I Started A Joke.
19. Just A Man



Bad quality yes, but it adds something to it I think. This was FNMs last performance with Big Jim... and the whole set was FNM at their brutal best. Patton is just on another planet during this performance.

(Thanks, Matt!)

Setlist by Damian

Just a couple of notes:

Roddy Bottum now also has a twitter.

We'd be happy if you added a link to an FNM live clip/interview/whatever you want on your setlist, so please feel free to add them (but no more requests for the Everything's Ruined performance on The Word with Billy Gould in a bee suite :)).

Our e-mail is fnmlive 'at' gmail.com

On to business: here's a setlist by Damian, who's from New Zealand! We're really excited about the international feedback we're getting.

I was lucky enough to meet FNM in 1993 in Auckland, NZ at an in-store signing - and been a huge fan/live concert collector/trader ever since! Have seen them live twice, and am so happy they are getting together again for a European tour. I just hope it lasts a decent amount of time!

My dream set list would be:

1. Smaller and smaller
2. Underwater love
3. The Cowboy song
4. She loves me not
5. Malpractice
6. Cuckoo For Caca
7. Edge Of The World
8. Crack Hitler
9. Jizzlobber
10. Zombie Eaters
11. The Real Thing
12. I started a joke
13. Anne's Song
14. Everything's Ruined
15. Ugly In The Morning
16. I Wanna Fuck Myself
17. As The Worm Turns
18. Helpless
19. Let's Lynch The Landlord
20. Das Schutzenfest
21. Stripsearch
22. A Small Victory
23. Hippie jam song
24. Greenfields



cheers,
Damian

Setlist by Ben

Great idea! Like a few chaps who've already posted I was only young when FNM ended (I'm only 19 now) so was gutted that I'd never get to see them live when I really got into them a few years later, but now - never been so excited for a gig! In my ideal world, this is what I'd love them to play!

1. Ricochet
2. I Won't Forget You
3. Land of Sunshine
4. The Big Kahuna
5. Take This Bottle
6. Stripsearch
7. Midlife Crisis
8. The Gentle Art of Making Enemies
9. Evidence
10. Greenfields
11. What A Day
12. Helpless
13. Ugly In The Morning
14. Last Cup of Sorrow
15. Surprise! You're Dead!
16. The Cowboy Song

Encore

17. Cuckoo For Caca
18. King For A Day
19. Just A Man

Setlist by Zeke

All albums are represented. Main focus on Patton albums. All my favorite B-sides, collaborations, covers & soundtrack songs.
Their last US tour was 1997, so this is 12 years of frustration in the making.
It would need to be a long set, with many never before played-live songs. Some Svengali showed up with TWO briefcases full of money, so I believe FNM needs to earn it. The fans have.

1. Epic - The Real Thing (get it out of the way)
2. Smaller And Smaller - Angel Dust
3. The Crab Song - Introduce Yourself
4. What A Day - King For A Day...
5. Stripsearch - Album Of The Year
6. The Perfect Crime - Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey Soundtrack
7. I Wanna Fuck Myself - Evidence single B-side UK, (GG Allin cover)
8. Underwater Love - The Real Thing
9. A Small Victory - Angel Dust
10. As The Worm Turns - We Care A Lot / Angel Dust (UK Patton vocals)
11. Take This Bottle - King For A Day...
12. Ashes To Ashes - Album Of The Year
13. Light Up And Let's Go - Last Cup Of Sorrow single B-side Japan
14. Spanish Eyes - Evidence single B-side UK, (Al Martino cover)
15. Zombie Eaters - The Real Thing
16. Caffeine - Angel Dust
17. Another Body Murdered - Judgement Night Soundtrack (Boo-Yaa Tribe collaboration, find someone to rap)
18. Digging The Grave - King For A Day...

19. Big Kahuna - Last Cup Of Sorrow single B-side Japan
20. Helpless - Album Of The Year
21. Falling To Pieces - The Real Thing
22. Jizzlobber - Angel Dust
23. The Gentle Art Of Making Enemies - King For A Day...
24. Highway Star - Who Cares A Lot? disk 2 (Deep Purple cover)
25. Last Cup Of Sorrow - Album Of The Year

Encores:
26. This Town Ain't Big Enough For The Both Of Us (Sparks collaboration)
27. Something For The Girl With Everything (Sparks collaboration)
28. Das Schutzenfest - Songs To Make Love To (YES in German)
29. Nestles Theme - (the song from the 90's commercial)
30. Evidence - King For A Day... (Spanish version)
31. She Loves Me Not - Album Of The Year
32. War Pigs - The Real Thing (Black Sabbath cover)

Setlist by Douglas R. Esper

(First of all, we were really happy to be featured on Billy Gould's Twitter! This means we got loads of setlists now, so that's good, but please be patient until yours is up)

Here's a setlist sent to us by Douglas R. Esper, who recentley conducted an interview with Chuck Mosley!

As a fan of the band since 1990, I was able to see them 5 times: Once in 1995 and 4 times in 1997. Also living in Cleveland, Ohio, I have struck up a friendship with Chuck Mosley, the old singer, which is cool.
Here is a set list I would love to see. Alot of these songs made the list because I never saw them live and want to. Obviously I would love to see a few new songs in the mix as well!
The other question Ihave is who do we want to see open for Faith No More? I think that is an important question as well. Who do you want?

1. midnight cowboy
2. land of sunshine
3. faster disco
4. last cup of sorrow
5. the real thing
6. evidence
7. stripsearch
8. what a day
9. the world is yours
10. digging the grave
11. smaller and smaller
12. absolute zero
13. gentle art of making enemies
14. a new song (a man can dream right?)
15. underwater love
16. random classic faith no more cover...what have they listened to for 11 years?
17. Chinese arithmetic
18. naked in front of the computer
19. the crab song
20. everything is ruined
21. just a man

encore one:
22. why do you bother (chuck mosley on vocals)
23. as the worm turns (chuck mosley on vocals)

encore two:
24. we care a lot (both vocalists?)
25. king for a day

Setlist by Alex

I'm 34 and saw the band countless times, from the glory days in '92 to the dismal end in '97. Even if this reformation is purely financially based, I assume the band are going to embrace it for all its worth and have a good time. The one thing that is great about this is that there’s no product to flog, hence no need to appeal to any casual fans. This is a completely selfish dream setlist. It’s what I want to hear and I think these are the songs the band would get a kick out of playing. It’s about 1hr 40m.


(The first three songs are an assault, no breaks, no talking)

1. Caffeine
2. Ricochet
3. From Out Of Nowhere

(Band say something stupid, crowd goes wild)

4. As The Worm Turns
5. The Real Thing
6. King For A Day
7. Cuckoo For Caca
8. Chinese Arithmetic
9. The Crab Song
10. Land Of Sunshine
11. Edge Of The World
12. Digging The Grave
13. Crack Hitler
14. Evidence
15. Malpractice
16. Jizzlobber
17. Mark Bowen
18. What A Day
19. Be Aggressive

1st Encore
20. Zombie Eaters

2nd Encore
21. Why Do You Bother
22. Just a Man

As the elated crowd go home, each and every one of them is met at the exit by Jim Martin, who gives everybody a piece of pumpkin pie.



Seeing this was really exciting back in '91. It was on TV here in the UK late at night, and this was the mysterious transitional period between The Real Thing and Angel Dust. Me and my friend were up late watching it, and not only did Patton slay the song like a man possessed, but he had a pretty awesome new haircut (this was the era of Bill and Ted... we didn't know better). More than anything else though, this was an age before the internet, when you'd have to hunt for any news or footage about your favourite bands, and seeing something like this on TV, live from Rio, at god knows what time of night, was joyous.

Setlist by Irra

Irra is an 18 year old FNM fan, who started listening to them when he was 10, which means he got to know them well after they called it quits. Now, Ira is one of the happiest people on earth!

Setlist by Omri

So, I've been a fan since I was 10 and first saw Midlife Crisis on MTV Europe, when Angel Dust just came out. I was fortunate enough to see FNM live in 1995 and 1997, and thought I'd never get to see them again. This reunion caught me totally off-guard, and it made me so happy, I never thought something like this could get me so excited.


I chose to come up with a realistic setlist, one which pays tribute to past setlists, contains all the big hits and a few thrown in personal favorites. I'll probably come up with a truly fantasy setlist later on.

3. Collision

6. Introduce Yourself
7. Land Of Sunshine
