such typical response when axl might have been dissed

[waxlrose1987]

"FNM also wanted to get kicked off the tour as the rescheduled dates after the Hetfield incident was screwing up their planned North American headlining tour for Angel Dust (which in the end - never happened)"

They DID headline on their own in the USA for Angel Dust from mid September to mid October 1992 then again from mid January to March 1993..........They left the GNR tour on their own accord in mid September 1992 and thats when Axl had Ice T and Body Count replace them.......

Roddy Bottum made a great comment saying that FNM could not relate to the GNR circus round 92 but that FNM DID relate to mid-late 80's GNR...that was an honest statement

You might wanna try to read it 'cause it actually is pretty funny

"I think watching us might get in the way of snorting coke from some strippers snatch,"
 
What's a snatch??   

Seriously, I saw FNM, Metallica, and GNR in Buffalo, July, '92.  If memory serves me correctly, I heard FNM warming up, and it sounded just as bad when they went on for real.  The rest of the show was great.   

Axl rules.

oh a snatch is an amazing thing, it's warm gets wet when excited .......... Girls have them

I like some of Patton's Fantomas stuff but what an ungrateful douche bag. I have more respect now for Cobain who declined to tour with GN'R than being an ungrateful turd like Patton who bitched while getting a paycheck.

[metallex78]

I don't blame for FNM for saying what they said, GN'R did seem like a circus at that point in time.
I think that's when all the success started to get over the top.

In a way, I can see how all that extra stuff can seem so over the top to an outsider, but at the same time GN'R were HUGE and it takes a lot of people working on a team to keep such an entity so huge.
GN'R were no longer a "small club" band, maybe that's why FNM couldn't relate either.

by the time izzy left the band and they started doing the rest of the illusion's tour it was just way over the top, big band or not half that shit wasn't needed..  they changed way to much from someone who might have seen them on headbanger's ball or the ritz then seeing them with fucking blow up afd monsters six million outfit changes two ladies singing three playing horns.. Way too much by then.. More theater then rock n roll

[jimmythegent]

I don't care how many people tell me how great and "cutting-edge" Faith No More were...

.... their music still cannot hold my attention.

they were a great band - one of the greats of the 90s IMO - hugely overlooked

Am I the ONLY one who thought it was funny that a person was employed to blow cocaine up someones ass with a straw?

Breaking news: Somebody said something "bad" about Axl 14 years ago.

Zzzzzzzz............................

No shit, I read bout half of that and then a light bulb went off.

WHO GIVES A FUCK ABOUT FAITH NO MORE?

ARE THEY EVEN STILL ALIVE?

A perfect little snippet as to who GNR invited on tour with them here. From MTV sometime during the '92 tour.

Here's some live FNM from 1997 & I always thought these two FNM songs are what Axl had in mind for what he wanted GNR to become. These songs rule.

I'm sure they played shows but the tour that was planned never made it to most of the States or Canada at all.

Amen brother.

[KeVoRkIaN]

Are Faith No More still alive??? Nope - and the world has been a sad place since - sorry you missed out

[ironfin]

FNM more were awsome. The best live band I have ever seen. Its irrlevant what they think about GNR

[waxlrose1987]

Faith No More werent exactly a club band when they dissed AXL....they had just come off The Real Thing which sold several million and they had headlined many stadium festival dfates in Europe.....The thing is GNR at that point had become like The Rolling Stones-this big rock show circus atmosphere and FNM were more the type of band that will hang out at a burger joint 10 minutes after a concert..........I think Patton doing the tour and then talking shit pushing the envelope took more balls than that junkie Cobain who declined to tour with GNR even though the rest of Nirvana begged him to do it
