Faith No More? Limp Bizkit? ZZ Top? Get the hottest Download rumours around, courtesy of Download Festival’s organizer, Andy Copping.

Metal Hammer sat down for an exclusive conversation with Download Festival Organizer, Andy Copping who revealed that they are attempting to get Faith No More, ZZ Top and a reunited Limp Bizkit onto the bill of this year’s festival. While keen to point out that no names have been officially confirmed for the festival as yet, there are plenty of names being thrown into the hat at this point.

“It’d be a special event if we got Faith No More to play or ZZ Top played on the back of a new album with Rick Rubin. It’d also be special to get Limp Bizkit to play as they’re back with Wes Borland. Half of people would think it would be shit and another half of the people would think “they were actually a decent band”.”

Wes Borland’s definitely back in Limp Bizkit?

“Yes. 100%. We tried to get (Black light Burns) to do a few different things last year but he’s definitely back in the band. There’s a lot of things to pluck out there. Wouldn’t it be great to get Limp Bizkit with Wes Borland, ZZ Top with a new album, Faith No More…fucking hell! But we might not get any of those but we’re trying really, really hard. I’m hopeful we shall have some news because we want to launch no later than the middle of February so I’ve got a month to get this together.”

Faith No More: Hammer heard that all the guys were up for it – even Patton - but that the band will need another European festival to make the trip over worth it. And this is proving harder than you might expect as FNM were never popular in mainland Europe as they were in the UK and the US.

“Basically, when an artist is coming over, they want a whole period to come over and play. You look at Metallica, AC/DC and Rage Against The Machine. There’s certain bands who can play any territory and they’re a huge act but there are others that are strong in some markets and not in others and that can be difficult when you want to get an artist over and you think that you’re offering them really good money but that doesn’t stack up because for them to be over here for 4-5 weeks and they’re getting a tenth or a twentieth of what I’m paying them, they can’t make it work. I think it’s a very valid case in point with Faith No More that they’re dipping their toe in the water and nothing is definite.”

“Faith No More haven’t managed to get that PR machine together (that RATM had) and they haven’t had people talk about what great albums ‘The Real Thing’ and ‘Angel Dust’ are and to the death they were a great live band. They haven’t got their first show at Coachella like RATM had and Tool had with their last album, when they came back at Coachella festival in the States and were getting everyone excited about them again and I think FNM haven’t done that. All of the band members haven’t agreed to do it.”

Many of the names and rumours we threw at Andy, he was unable to comment about as the process of booking bands and announcing them is a highly political one

Hmmmmmm, ik dacht dat ze best populair waren in NL. Hopen dat er een tour komt!

Zou mooi zijn, maar ik moet het nog zien. Tot nu toe is het allemaal weinig meer dan speculatie en wishful thinking.

Persoonlijk is Jim Martin denk ik de hoofdoptie.. Epic en Angeldust zijn volgens mij toch wel de FnM platen.

Epic? The Real Thing bedoel je denk ik.

Qua gitaarwerk en gitaarsound was Big Jim wel erg vet ja.

Guitarist JIM MARTIN Not Taking Part In Rumored FAITH NO MORE Reunion - Feb. 18, 2009

Rumors are gaining momentum that the hugely infuential '90s alt-metal band FAITH NO MORE is planning to reunite for a number of European festival appearances this summer. A source close to guitarist Jim Martin, who was in the group from 1983 until 1993, has told BLABBERMOUTH.NET that the axeman expressed interest in taking part in the reunion after being recently contacted by keyboardist Roddy Bottum and a member of FAITH NO MORE's management team, but that the band inexplicably decided to utilize a different guitarist — believed to be one of several musicians that were in FAITH NO MORE following Martin's exit from the group — for the upcoming dates.

Although Kerrang! magazine reported in November that a number of U.K. concert venues had been placed on hold for FAITH NO MORE dates next spring, bassist Billy Gould downplayed the speculation, saying, "If anything like this were to happen, it would have to come from the band, and I haven't spoken with any of them in over a year."

Meanwhile, U.K. promoter Andy Copping also said FAITH NO MORE's return this year was unlikely, telling Metal Hammer, "FAITH NO MORE haven't managed to get that PR machine together ... All of the band members haven't agreed to do it."

Martin left FAITH NO MORE in 1993 due to "internal conflicts" and was replaced by FNM singer Mike Patton's MR. BUNGLE bandmate Trey Spruance. Trey also exited soon after recording 1995's "King for a Day... Fool for a Lifetime", just before the band was to begin a world tour. Spruance was replaced by Dean Menta, the band's guitar roadie. FAITH NO MORE's final studio CD, "Album of the Year", was released in 1997 and featured yet another new guitarist, Jon Hudson, who was a former roommate of Billy Gould.

Grmbl.

Was te verwachten. Zo zwart als Jim gemaakt is door zijn voormalige bandleden in latere interviews. Ik had niet verwacht dat het goed zou komen. Volgens mij zijn Billy en Mike ook niet echt makkelijk in de omgang, zoals veel genieën.

Waar is Illusione nou als je hem depri kunt krijgen....

Ook mooi..

Ik denk dat het überhaupt wel genieten wordt mocht dit ooit werkelijkheid worden.

Al zet iemand 5 veelvuldig geplakte opblaaspoppen op het podium en een rotte boombox met gekraste FNM-CD's achter de pishokken!

FAITH NO MORE Reunion 'Confirmed' By MIKE PATTON's Publicist - Feb. 24, 2009

Former FAITH NO MORE singer Mike Patton's publicist has confirmed that the hugely influential '90s alt-metal band will reunite for a summer tour. At the moment, it appears that the group will only perform in Europe and there are absolutely no plans to tour the States.

The news was broken in the final line of a press release sent late Monday night (February 23) promoting Patton's involvement in the "major motion film 'Crank 2: High Voltage', which listed Patton's upcoming performance schedule, including a stop at the Coachella festival and "the highly anticipated reunion tour with FAITH NO MORE in Europe this summer."

As previously reported, a source close to guitarist Jim Martin, who was in FAITH NO MORE from 1983 until 1993, has told BLABBERMOUTH.NET that the axeman expressed interest in taking part in the reunion after being recently contacted by keyboardist Roddy Bottum and a member of FAITH NO MORE's management team, but that the band inexplicably decided to utilize a different guitarist — believed to be one of several musicians that were in FAITH NO MORE following Martin's exit from the group — for the upcoming dates.
