You gotta respect any band that can make a lady gaga song sound good! FNM's tradition over the years is to sample a bit of a bad pop song during the intro of CHINESE ARITHMETIC. cheers!

Fair enough. Pearl Jam's not even the 3rd best band to come out of Seattle! Agreed -Led Zeppelin were well dressed (though not over-dressed) AND supremely talented......and that was 35+ years ago. Conversely, Wolfmother are WAY over-dressed (too cohesive?) and possess a fraction of the talent (didn't they win a grammy?). Point being, the last ten years of music have given us plenty of cohesive LOOKING, well dressed, stylized bands with minimal talent. This is why all the 90's bands are reuniting! (soundgarden most recently). In FNM's case, I think it's a testament to their talent that they were able to find success while still lacking a cohesive look. FNM's cover of Easy & Glorybox (Portishead) are definitely not mocking........as for 911 is a joke, NKOTB's The Right Stuff, and Madonna's Vogue - that's another story. The pokerface 40 second "throw away" sample was a clear mock. Anyway, good luck with the new album. Hoping to hear some heavier sounds and a bit more of Amy on vox! Ha. Fair enough.

Really? .....try Alternative Rock Icons. Worst dressed (you must have watched the "Epic" video from 1989) before vlogging. I think the last 10 years of music have shown us that the best dressed bands are often the least talented. And yes, FNM are back and apparently still kicking ass (while mocking terrible artists). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xBE3CTcNa8I&feature=related Faith No More was “a branch of sort of metal glam” LMAO!
