I think that's all of them. I fking love it! Most underated band ever IMO. Mike Patton is a fking weapon.

[rumpelstiltskin]

Thanks for that!Didn't even know they were back together!Brilliant.Only thing i don't like about them is Patton doesn't put enough effort into his vocals!

I'll be seeing them at Pukkelpop in August. Not exactly a fan though - always found them too middle of the road.

[Six Fiend]

Saw them at the Bristol Studios back in about 1989!

Was a big deal back then

[KANEIT]

I think their Live At The Brixton Academy cassette was the first music I ever bought.
Actually it may have been Do The Bartman by The Simpsons but let's not let that get in the way of things.

[JimboM3]

Saw them at Southside in Germany last weekend. Best set/gig I have ever been at!

Mike Patton is the most amazing front man and incidentally I found out does the voice of one of the Transformers in the new film. Very strange.

They are back at the Reading / Leeds festivals I believe.

[Dick Dastardly]

Great band but they look like a bunch of Accountants at an Xmas party there.

Bloody hell, I was there too! Why didn't you wave?

[ratbane]

Like you, I was at Brisle. Saw them a few times in Bristol, Cardiff and Brixton. Still me fave live band.

I'm not a Jim Martin snob, and think that the download stuff is great.

Nice to see that stuff played live again.

You Fat B*stards!!!!

Excellent! This is pure genius and just shows these guys haven't lost it. I'd forgotten how devastating they are live.

[adam85]

Thanks for the heads up! Mike Patton really is the nosiest man on the planet:

It is incredible what that man can do with his voice!

[bodhi]

Many many thanks for posting this. I saw them in 1998 on their final tour and this has just reaffirmed what I've always known - they really are the greatest band on the planet.

And that version of Stripsearch is probably one of the best things I've ever heard. Stripsearch was always a favourite, melding it with Chariots of Fire is simply epic.

Pun not intended

Middle of the road????

They invented the road!

[HereBeMonsters]

Nah, mate of mine always insists we play their songs on Guitar Hero/Rock Band, and we always get bored before the end.
They just sound the same as so much other middle of the road rock they're hard to tell apart.

Just FYI, here is what I consider to be "good" music. All signs say that I should like FNM, and indeed I regularly get recommended tracks by the application. Not found a single one worth listening to all the way through though.

The irony being that half of the bands you list wouldn't be where they are in FNM hadn't blazed the trail.

Just because they were earlier doesn't mean they were better. And in any case, I don't think what you say is true. Most of my favourite bands were popular before FNM were, and more "alternative" than the mainstream rubbish FNM peddle. They usually cite the Pixies, Sonic Youth and The Stooges as influences.

Fair play, each to their own aye.

[Famous Graham]

Saw them supporting GnR at Wembley for Use Your Illusion - excellent set but for some reason never really followed them after that

[havoc]

I went to Download almost solely to see them (14 years since the last time...)...and I wasn't disappointed! Not keen on King for a Day, but really like most of the rest of their stuff, esp. Album of the Year - agree on Stripsearch, that was one of my highlights of the night!

Thanks for posting the set up...anyone know how to download off YouTube?!?
