Faith No More: The Real Story

Rating:
Summary: The best (though probably only) FNM biography you can find
Review: I happened upon this book in a local tower records, and I was surprised one actually existed for my favorite band. This was long after its release (maybe 1997) so it was on sale for like $7. It's got a great source of info about the band's history from the very beginning. Lots of nice pictures too, though one of them is a big picture of Patton with a shirt that's a little disturbing. But hey, he had a point he was trying to make. . .anyway, if you can find this book, get it if you're a big fnm fan. The only problem I have with it is that while it's a great resource, it only goes up to about 1992-3, the last thing is when Jim Martin was fired. Since they've now broken up, I don't think we'll seea new edition sadly enough. . .
