MUSIC MADNESS: Win a VIP box for 10 to see Faith No More at the Mann! -- WE HAVE OUR WINNER!

Alex Fine Wowee zowee, Faith No More fans! We want you and nine of your nearest and dearest (yeah, geniuses, that's 10 in total!) to see Faith No More tear up the Mann Center this Sat., July 3. Philly is the only East Coast stop other than NYC on this leg of the tour so you're not gonna wanna miss this one. Neither is Shaun Brady, here's what he said about their upcoming performance: When Faith No More played the Tower back in October 1992, the show came to a memorable end when Mike Patton's evening-long taunting finally led the audience to swarm the stage. Who could forget the image of Patton singing "The Crab Song" while crowd-surfing onstage, as the rest of the band dodged people diving from the tops of the Marshall stacks? Which is to say that even in his most commercial setting, Patton always cultivates some degree of anarchy. So how do you go from cheap seats to VIP? Simply answer these two trivia questions by e-mailing molly [dot] eichel [at] citypaper [dot] net.
