Faith No More was an American alternative band that formed in San Francisco, California from 1982 to 1998.
Faith No More combined elements of heavy metal, funk, punk rock, progressive rock, hip hop, and jazz, among many others, and have been hailed as an influential rock band.
Originally billed as Faith No Man, the group formed in 1982 with original members Mike "The Man" Morris, Mark Bowen, Roddy Bottum, Bill Gould, and Mike Bordin (who received the nickname "Puffy" for his hair).
When the band decided to fire Morris due to his dictator-like behavior, they renamed themselves Faith No More, seeing as how "The Man" was no longer present in the group.
The band ended up playing with Bowen for a very short period before he was replaced with Jim Martin.
A number of singers were tried, including a six-month stint by Courtney Love, who was fired after only four gigs.
Eventually, Chuck Mosely was hired as the band's vocalist.
Their self-financed debut We Care a Lot came in 1985 on Mordam Records in the US, which led to a deal with Slash Records.
Introduce Yourself was released in 1987, and the single "We Care a Lot" saw minor success on MTV.
