June 15, 2009

Fan-filmed video footage of FAITH NO MORE performing the Italian-language version of the song "Evidence" on Sunday, June 14 at the Rock In Idro festival in Milano, Italy can be viewed below. According to the news blog Musica Metal, FAITH NO MORE singer Mike Patton spoke in perfect Italian to the crowd, filling the set with jokes and bringing the sold-out Palasharp arena to a "collective orgasm more than once."

Patton married an Italian woman, Titi Zuccatosta, in 1994, but they reportedly separated in 2001. He has also owned a home in Italy.

The band's setlist for the Milan show was as follows:

01. Reunited (PEACHES & HERB cover)
02. The Real Thing
03. From Out of Nowhere
04. Land of Sunshine
05. Caffeine
06. Evidence (in Italian)
07. Chinese Arithmetic (Poker Face)
08. Surprise You're Dead
09. Easy
10. Ashes to Ashes
11. Midlife Crisis
12. Introduce Yourself
13. Gentle Art of Making Enemies
14. I Started a Joke
15. King for a Day…
16. Be Aggressive
17. Epic
---------------
18. Chariots of Fire / Stripsearch
19. We Care a Lot

FAITH NO MORE kicked off its reunion tour Wednesday night (June 10) with a headlining performance at the Brixton Academy in London, England.

Original guitarist Jim Martin is not part of the reunion. Performing in his place is Jon Hudson, who played with FAITH NO MORE during the latter stages of its initial run after Martin departed.

The rest of the band's best-known lineup — singer Mike Patton, Gould, drummer Mike "Puffy" Bordin and keyboardist Roddy Bottum — is intact.

FAITH NO MORE released "The Very Best Definitive Ultimate Greatest Hits Collection" on June 8 in the U.K. via Rhino Records.

This double disc set contains the band's greatest hits on the first CD, while the second CD features b-sides and rarities.

So far, no North American appearances are on the radar, but according to Gould, "U.S. shows are not out of the question."
