EXCLUSIVE: Released in 1995, ‘King For a Day… Fool For a Lifetime’ is among Faith No More’s most confrontational works. Recorded during a period of inner turmoil which followed the departure of guitarist Jim Martin, keyboard player Roddy Bottum was also largely absent due to a number of personal issues. It’s surprising that the San Francisco act held it together at all, and they almost didn’t, according to the man who filled Martin’s shoes; “Yeah, it was a strange time for them”, concedes Trey Spruance, as we sit down to chat over Skype. From its' fraught creation, to the shows that saw this version of the band reunite to perform the album in full, almost two decades later, we get in-depth on ‘King For a Day’, in Part 2 of our audience with Trey Spruance. Ugly in the morning; Eamon O’Neill.

EXCLUSIVE: Leader of Secret Chiefs 3, and guitarist on Faith No More’s classic ‘King For A Day’ album, Trey Spruance is perhaps best known as one of the key members of avant-garde metal outfit Mr. Bungle. Reconvening in late 2019 after almost two decades apart, Mr. Bungle's core of Trey, Trevor Dunn and Mike Patton were joined by Slayer’s Dave Lombardo and Anthrax riff machine Scott Ian, in the newest incarnation of the band. Ushering in a new era by rerecording their ‘Raging Wrath of the Easter Bunny Demo’, the band are still doing things in their own, against-the-grain way. Celebrating their rebirth, we sat down with Trey for an extended chat. In Part 1, it’s about all things Bungle. Glutton for punishment; Eamon O’Neill.
