The Coulda-Shoulda-Woulda Files: Another Hit Of “Angel Dust”
A few days ago, we dazzled you with the latest installment of our rearview-mirror-glancing Coulda-Woulda-Shoulda entries, in which we champion a song that deserved big-hit status. And judging by your response to our call that Faith No More’s Angel Dust still holds up, we’re throwing out two more FNM faves this afternoon (and yes, Mr. Bungle’s next).
In fact, despite the onslaught of shiny new promo CDs we get each week, the 14-year-old Angel Dust remains in non-stop rotation at the Idolator flophouse, which got us thinking: Aren’t we past due for a full-on Faith No More resurgence? For better or worse, it’s hard to imagine overdramatic hard-rock like Welcome To The Black Parade gaining a widespread fanbase without these guys. Come on, Patton! Stop with the art-noise side-projects, and get on with the reunion tour already! There are plenty of nostalgic old farts like us willing to pony up for the “Gold Circle” seating.
