No Plans For Faith No More Record

Mike Patton reveals that despite reunion, the band won\'t be recording again

Published 27th Jul 2011

In a recent interview Patton revealed that the band are trying to avoid the pitfalls of other high profile reunions, saying "We don't have any plans to record.

"Reunions can be done very distastefully I think, and we were all very worried about that," he added. "But I think we were all very surprised with how good it felt. It's a tired old script: band splits up, gets hard up for cash, goes on tour and records a shitty record. We don’t want to be part of that kind of history."

Last October bassist Billy Gould revealed that he was skeptical about whether the band would ever even tour again.

"I personally can't see us not doing any more shows again, I just don’t see it," he said. "There's no point in not to do it. Why quit now? I think it's just this tour... We did this tour and that's what we decided to do. And we did it. We accomplished this goal, it worked out for all of us, and then we look at each other and say, 'Hey what do you want to do now?' And I think that's how it’s got to be."
