Information AboutFaith No More |
Faith No More was an Experimental Alternative Rock group that formed in San Francisco , California in 1982 and disbanded in 1998 . In the beginning of their 16 year career, Faith No More's vocalist changed a few times. However, the band's longest-lasting singer was Mike Patton . Their music combined elements of Heavy Metal , Funk , Progressive , Soul , Hip Hop , and Jazz , among many others. HISTORY Early days Faith No More formed in 1982 out of the ashes of Faith No Man , a band formed and headed by Mike "The Man" Morris. Roddy Bottum , Mike Bordin , and Bill Gould left Faith No Man. They chose the name "Faith No More" at the suggestion of a friend (as "The Man" was ''no more''). After cycling through a few guitarists, the members recruited Jim Martin . A number of singers were tried, including a six-month stint by Courtney Love as confirmed by Mike Bordin in a 1997 interview Courtney was, and remains, a friend of Roddy's.1 An airing has since surfaced of her performing on San Francisco Public Access TV with the band during their alleged "New Romantic phase".2 Chuck Mosely became the band's full time singer and appeared on their first two records. A well known song from this era is " We Care A Lot ", a Satire of the prevalence of Charity -related rock efforts such as Live Aid and " We Are The World ". The song is also notable as one of the first rock songs to seamlessly blend in Hip Hop Music . During this period, the band gained a reputation for serious infighting and friction. In an interview in 1987 , Mosely claimed that Martin had hit him with a bottle, and there were frequent rumors of physical confrontations between band members. Indeed, in a short history of the band in one issue, the British music newspaper Melody Maker observed that the band's internal relationships had descended into "pathological hatred". Bordin in particular seemed to be very much the " Whipping Boy " of the band and the butt of numerous cruel pranks and practical jokes. It is doubtful that the band would have stayed together had they not been successful after their second album, '' Introduce Yourself ''. The Real Thing Mosely was fired in 1988 and replaced with singer Mike Patton . Patton, who was singing with his high school band Mr. Bungle , was recruited at Martin's suggestion after he heard a demo of Mr. Bungle's long-over death metal days. Patton dropped out of Humboldt State University to join Faith No More and in two weeks had written all the lyrics for the songs that would make up the Grammy award nominated album '' The Real Thing ''.
