Faith No More
Faith No More is an American rock band from San Francisco, California, formed in 1979.

Greatest Hits
A greatest hits album or best-of album is a type of compilation album that collects popular and commercially successful songs by a particular artist or band. While greatest hits albums are typically supported by the artist, they can also be created by record companies without express approval from the original artist as a means to generate sales. They are typically regarded as a good starting point for new fans of an artist, but are sometimes criticized by longtime fans as not inclusive enough or necessary at all. It is also common for greatest hits albums to include new recordings, remixes or unreleased alternate takes of the hit songs, plus other new material as bonus tracks to increase appeal for longtime fans (who might otherwise already own the recordings included). At times, a greatest hits compilation marks the first album appearance of a successful single that was never attached to a previous studio album. History The first greatest hits album was Johnny Mathis's ''J ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Falling To Pieces
"Falling to Pieces" is the third single on Faith No More's first studio album with Mike Patton on vocals, ''The Real Thing''. The song was released as a single on July 2, 1990. The song peaked at number 92 on the '' Billboard'' Hot 100 and number 40 on the ''Billboard'' Album Rock Tracks chart. The song has rarely been performed live due to the band's disdain for it. Live performances Despite its success, the song did not go on to be a live staple, appearing very rarely in concerts after their appearance at the 1993 Phoenix Festival, where Billy Gould announced, "This is the last time we'll ever play this song again" right before the song. During Second Coming Tour, the band picked up the song again and performed it at least once at a concert in Rio de Janeiro in 2009. The song was performed at the Open'er Festival in 2014 for the first time since 2009. In a 2016 interview, Gould stated, "That song sucks, let's face it. I don't know, we don't groove on that one.

Introduce Yourself
''Introduce Yourself'' is Faith No More's second studio album, released in 1987.
