Wall of Mouths

cheers for the comments guys.
the band is getting back together anyway.
just gonna get the new space finished and work out how to record it properly.
i don’t expect to get amazing sound.
we just want to record out jams and rehearsal’s to a half decent standard.

evening all,

i’m surprised i never put any of this up yet.

an old school friend and his mate were in a band ( 2 piece) and asked if i would join about 3 years ago.
we jammed for a year then started to write some original bits.
we recorded every single jam session we played (albeit only using a mic hanging from the ceiling, so the quality is lacking)
a couple of years or so ago our practice space flooded and we have not played since.
we are now in the process of setting up new space which has lead us to re-visit old material we were working on.

so… here for you giggling pleasure are 5 tracks we were messing about with.
there are actually about another 30 or so, but if i am honest these were the only 5 that were at least 70% completed.

1) SENT BY THE DEVIL TO BILL YOU - https://files.me.com/paulpryor/m3e53f.mp3
2) THE LAUGHING STOCK OF THE SERVANTS - https://files.me.com/paulpryor/dcqtzl.mp3
3) TO BE A KING - https://files.me.com/paulpryor/61ez44.mp3
4) CHASING THE VAMPIRE - https://files.me.com/paulpryor/ybumk8.mp3
5) NEON - https://files.me.com/paulpryor/qxjv0l.mp3

Once the new rom set is set up we will have the ability to mic everything up and have it all wired into Logic running on a mac. this way we can EQ and do some kind of production work on some of the rough mixes of tracks we are working on.

Any feedback will be appreciated (again, bear in mind the tracks are far from finished, vocals are really mumblings due to lack of lyrics and the overall sound is lame)

Cheers!!!

sound great!!!!

got into T? just after the release of Pleasure Death. Still remember waiting out side Our Price records in Barnet to buy Nurse on release day and making myself late for college!!!!!

cheers for 2 great nights (Mon / Wed)

Just got in from work, Damn, i only got to sleep after 3am and had to be up at 6.30am, not fun, but the sound of lawnmowers and leafblowers made me forget that i couldn’t hear anything properly.
Really enjoyable night, great friendly pit, great venue.
Roll on the next T? gig.

Yeah that was me haha

ha ha, there was one guy who annoyed me a couple of times who gave me good shoves in between songs and I was wondering what was going on there…!

yep, that was probably him!! haha.

managed to drag myself out of bed after last nights gig!!
i am aching all over!!!
i am confident my ears are permanently ruined as well now, the buzzer is immense!!!!!!!
great set list, great crowd, only downfall for me was my pissed mate who wanted to carry on moshing with me inbetween songs and thus pissing everyone off around us!!!!

Just got home. My poor fuckin ears. What’s night. Best therapy? Gig since 93 for me.
Top notch, well done boys, you made an old man very happy!!!!!!!

top night, fucking hot in there though.
good to hear Meat Abstract / Punishment Kiss / Dancin’ With Manson all in the same set!!!! been a long time since i experienced that!!!

i think T? should drop Screamager and play the early SWT version from their demo tape!!!!

well i have bought tickets for the mon and the wed. hopefully the play the regular bits on the tuesday :-)

so, the beer is more important than the band? :-p

haha, you got me there!!!
beer and rock music go hand in hand!!

Quote (author unknown):

skipping the alcohol

it is an option, but not one i wanna take.
that would be my first gig without a beer or 2 since 1990!!

arrrrrggggghhhh!!!!!

i don’t know what to do.
obviously i want to go to all 3. if they are gonna jumble up their sets each night i really dont want to miss out on any old bits they have not played for years.
for example if i went on the monday and found out they played prison breaker on the tuesday i’d be so pissed off.
but knowing my luck i’ll go to all 3 and they will play the same bits i wanna hear each night!!!
i really cant afford 3 shows, 3 nights of travel and 3 nights of alcohol at the moment either!!!
WHAT SHALL I DO!!!!!!!!!!!

just woke up and boy am i aching!
great gig, stood towards the back for the first part of the set then got so drunk i found myself in the pit for the first time in 15 years!
i must apologise to anyone i fell on haha
was hoping for the likes of punishment kiss, innocent x, fantasy bag etc as a lot of other places got them on this tour but i’m happy enough as i got summer of hate for the first time since 1992!!!!
where’s my neurofen?…

gonna pop up there on sunday and get tickets there and then. hopefully i can still get in!

well i missed the london gig so really want to go to this one.
i dont have tickets yet though:-/

i got tickets for brixton, cant fucking wait!!!!

if you havent seen - it dont watch it

peanuts anyone?

mrs h i can only apologise.
i had to see it with my own eyes, wrong, wrong, wrong!

on the tube i saw a foreign woman suck all the snot out of her sons nose and then proceed to spit it on the floor a couple of years ago. i had to get off the train, couldn’t handle it!!!!

see the way i look at it is this…

i doubt any record label would be willing to make a huge box set with loads of low quailty demo’s and rehersals. iot would be so costly.
Nirvana got away with it with the 3cd/1dvd thing a couple of years back, but that Nirvana, this is Therapy?. As much as i love T? there would be no money in it for record labels… but…
if a digital only “box set” was released with a wicked selection of stuff from late 80’s / early 90’s there would be a small cost for the initial set up and i would pay good money for this sort of thing.

i just gave 30 seconds and met abstract demo’s a listen in a moment of nostalgia, my mp3s are only 96k, how lame is that. would love some better quality ones if any ones has em!!!!!

Anyone else he excited by this?
I’d love to think we might one day get a chance to hear some of the early stuff he as tucked away on cassette.
I’d happily pay for downloads of early rehersals and gigs, even if the quality was a bit on the pants side!!!!!

wish the would put them out re-mastered in with copies of the original therapy? demo’s a well as other stuff.
i reckon the guys must have loads off stuff we have never heard or seen before!

just a noise the brain makes. wrote:

day ticket?

there aren’t any!

i really wanna go. wanna see FNM, Lawnmower Deth, Prodigy & Slipknot.
There are other bands i would not mind having a peak at but dont really wanna be paying £200+ for the weekend when i probably wanna go home after FNM.

i wanna get tickets but need to get paid first, hope there are some left at the end of the month. i will cry if they are all gone!

The official statement from the band:

Faith No More has always stood out as some sort of unique beast; part dog, part cat—its music almost as schizophrenic as the personalities of its members. When it all worked, it worked really well, even if the chemistry was always volatile. Throughout our 17 years of existence, the mental and physical energy required to sustain this creature was considerable and relentless. Though amicable enough, when we finally split, we all followed paths seemingly destined to opposite ends of the universe.

Yet during the entire 10 years that have passed since our decision to break up we’ve experienced constant rumors and requests from fans and promoters alike. Nevertheless, for whatever reason, none of us kept in regular touch, much less to discuss any possibilities of getting together.

What’s changed is that this year, for the first time, we’ve all decided to sit down together and talk about it. And what we’ve discovered is that time has afforded us enough distance to look back on our years together through a clearer lens and made us realize that through all the hard work, the music still sounds good, and we are beginning to appreciate the fact that we might have actually done something right.

Meanwhile we find ourselves at a moment in time with zero label obligations, still young and strong enough to deliver a kickass set, with enthusiasm to not only revisit our past but possibly add something to the present. And so with this we’ve decided to hold our collective breaths and jump off this cliff…
BACK, GOD FORBID, INTO THE MONKEY CAGE!!!

We can only hope that the experience of playing together again will yield results erratic and unpredictable enough to live up to the legacy of FNM.
Who know where this will end or what it will bring up…only the future knows. But we are about to find out!

FAITH NO MORE are:
Mike Bordin, Roddy Bottum, Bill Gould, Jon Hudson and Mike Patton

only play.com they are listing a collectors edition of angel dust.
hopefully this will be one of those 2 discs sets with loads of demos and shit
