Matador

In 2011, Bill, John, Puffy, Roddy, and Patton wrapped up their South American "Second Coming Tour" leg by playing the SWU festival in Paulinia, São Paulo, Brazil (a pro-shot concert definitely worth watching in it's entirety on YouTube).  It was here, towards the end of their 75 minute set, that they performed my favorite version of this super-rare, untitled song.  Known simply as "Matador" in the internet world, it gave FNM fans hope for a new album in the future.  Many speculate that it could be a long-lost B-side from the Angel Dust days, while others feel like this is indeed new material.  As usual, Patton and the band are tight-lipped, and deny that there will be another album.  One can only hope, however, since we've heard denials of rumors before, only to be pleasantly surprised shortly after (like the announcement of appearing at the BST Hyde Park show in London this coming July after retiring once again following the recent tour).

This song goes on a little longer than most, but I personally don't mind.  It's eerie melody captured my attention on first listen, and until a studio version is ever released (if ever), this live version will have to do.  In the few live performances captured on video, none are completely flawless, proving that they don't play this song nearly enough.  Check out this amazing song below!
