Faith No More is an Alternative Metal band formed in San Francisco, California in 1981 by bassist Billy Gould, keyboardist Wade Worthington, vocalist Mike Morris and drummer Mike Bordin. A year later, Wade Worthington was replaced by keyboardist Roddy Bottum and Mike Morris was ousted. After going through a series of singers which included Courtney Love, the band was joined by Chuck Mosley in 1983. The same year, Jim Martin was recruited to replace guitarist Mark Bowen. After a long, long time spent changing the lineup before, eventually, Chuck Mosley was replaced by Mike Patton, and the band found massive success with their third album, The Real Thing, which contains their best-known song "Epic".The band is best known for combining elements of Heavy Metal, Funk, Progressive Rock, Hip-Hop, Hardcore Punk, and Jazz, among many, many, many, many others, and is considered one of the most influential rock bands of modern times, "Epic" having massively influenced the Nu Metal genre.They broke up in 1998 but reformed, triumphantly, in 2009. Their seventh album, the first in 18 years, followed in May 2015.Oh, and apparently they are destined to one day found the "Faith No More Spiritual and Theological Center". Discography: We Care a Lot (1985) Introduce Yourself (1987) The Real Thing (1989) Angel Dust (1992) King for a Day... Fool for a Lifetime (1995) Album of the Year (1997) Sol invictus (2015) | |

| Faith No More (Music) / int_13646b1b | comment |
My Friends... and Zoidberg: Trey Spruance's guitar credit is buried at the very end of the credits in the liner notes for King for a Day... due to the band being pissed at him for backing out of the band at the last minute after replacing Jim Martin and recording the album (he saw the tour schedule and decided it wasn't for him). | |

Angel Dust was much darker than anything the band had released before, with the music being much heavier, the lyrics being more disturbing, and Mike Patton ditching the Perishing Alt-Rock Voice he employed on The Real Thing in favor of a Gothic croon. | |

New Sound Album | |
| Faith No More (Music) / int_22093e9b | comment |
New Sound Album: After releasing a single, "Quiet in Heaven"/"Song of Liberty", and demo cassette in a Post-Punk style, they would shift into a more Metal-influenced sound with their debut We Care A Lot, which pioneered Alternative Metal and Funk Metal, although it is primarily seen as a Post-Punk album. Their later album Sol Invictus would be a return to their Post-Punk roots. Angel Dust was much darker than anything the band had released before, with the music being much heavier, the lyrics being more disturbing, and Mike Patton ditching the Perishing Alt-Rock Voice he employed on The Real Thing in favor of a Gothic croon. King for a Day... Fool for a Lifetime was heavier and almost keyboard-less due to Roddy Bottum being largely absent during that album's production. | |

Gratuitous Foreign Language | |
| Faith No More (Music) / int_2fcf9bbc | comment |
Gratuitous Foreign Language: "Caralho Voador", from King for a Day... Fool for a Lifetime, has a verse in Portuguese (as well as the title note "Flying Dick", as in "penis" ). For bonus points, it's styled after Bossa Nova. The non-album track "Das Schützenfest", which is sung entirely in German and written in the style of polka. Apparently it's about meeting a girl at a festival held by a rifle club, then making love with her in a pig trough, and there's also a gratuitous Shout-Out to German folk singer Heino somewhere in there. They have performed live versions of "Evidence" in several languages. The translation isn't always so smooth. A studio version of the song in Spanish was available via iTunes, and appears on the Argentinian release of Fool for a Day... King for a Lifetime. | |

| Faith No More (Music) / int_415b3315 | comment |
Stylistic Suck: The "Everything's Ruined" video, which features laughably obvious Chroma Key and Stock Footage, inspired by county fair video booths. While the video is deliberately cheap-looking, it really was shot on a tight budget - after more lavish clips for "Midlife Crisis" and "A Small Victory", there wasn't much money left for a third video to promote Angel Dust. | |

Step Up to the Microphone | |

Step Up to the Microphone: "Motherfucker" has Roddy Bottum speak/rapping the verses, with Mike Patton only singing the chorus. Combine that with an Intentionally Awkward Title and a chorus consisting of a Cluster F-Bomb, and it was a particularly unlikely lead single for Sol invictus. | |

Three Chords and the Truth: It's very rare for this band, but they do have an example in their cover of GG Allin's "I Wanna Fuck Myself" - in order to mimic the low-budget feel of the original, they deliberately made the recording quality as murky and indistinguishable as possible. | |

Fake-Out Fade-Out: The album version of "Anne's Song" fades out near the end of the track, then it quickly fades back in for about ten seconds and just abruptly cuts off — this is particularly jarring because the next track on the album, "Introduce Yourself", has a Lyrical Cold Open. | |

Retraux | |
| Faith No More (Music) / int_92dfffae | comment |
Retraux: The song "Mouth to Mouth" from Album of the Year is written in the style of the band's work with Chuck Mosley. Mike Patton imitates Chuck's rhythmic style of rapping (similar to tracks like "R'N'R"), and the Middle Eastern sounding music calls to mind the way many of the songs from that period were based around synth lines and tight bass and drum rhythms. The track particularly stands out because the rest of the album is far more driven by electronica and metal. Many fans have wondered what "Mouth to Mouth" would sound like with Chuck on vocals. | |

| Faith No More (Music) / int_9da3227a | comment |
Careful with That Axe: Patton is a fucking specialist at this. Crosses easily into Chewing the Scenery. "Cuckoo For Caca" has this lovely piece: 'YOU CAN'T KILL IIIITT!!! YOU CAN'T KILL IIIITT!!!' From "Caffeine", this pearl: 'I'M WARNING YOU, I'M WARNING YOU, I'M FUCKING YOU, I'M WARNING YOU' Most of "Jizzlobber" has Patton on this mode, the chorus in particular: "Helpless" has a subtle but still creepy example. Near the end of the song, there's three tracks of Mike Patton's vocals going at once - two of them are sung call and response parts, the third is just Mike shouting "HELP!" at the top of his lungs in time with the music... The screams aren't given as much emphasis in the mix as the more melodic vocals, but eventually everything in the song fades out but that part, so the last few seconds of the song are just Mike repeatedly screaming "HELP!" like his life depended on it. | |

Rearrange the Song | |
| Faith No More (Music) / int_b24ce4b2 | comment |
Rearrange the Song: The Chuck Mosley era song "New Improved Song" was released on a sampler in 1988, before he left the band. It's possible the band would have intended it on their next album with him, but it didn't happen, so it was rewritten by the Mike Patton lineup as "The Morning After" and appeared on The Real Thing. The 1989 Real Thing outtake "Sweet Emotion" appeared on a flexi disc, before it was reworked as "The Perfect Crime" for the 1991 soundtrack to Bill And Ted's Bogus Journey. | |

Take That! | |
| Faith No More (Music) / int_b53077b3 | comment |
Take That!: "We Care A Lot" mocks charity singles of its era. One line even goes "(We care a lot) about starvation and the food that Live Aid bought". "Epic" continued the trend by mocking the Red Hot Chili Peppers and their song style at the time. | |

There was an improvised Precision F-Strike when the band performed "Evidence" on Hey Hey It's Saturday, as Mike Patton turned to Bill Gould and said "I think I fucked up". | |

"Land of Sunshine", which has quite a funky tune, is about cults brainwashing people by asking a lot of personal questions and then pretending these things are 'wrong' and they can help them. note The song was written by piecing together phrases from fortune cookies and Scientology personality test questions. | |

Cover Version: "Easy" by the Commodores, "War Pigs" by Black Sabbath, the Midnight Cowboy theme, "Poker Face" by Lady Gaga, "Let's Lynch the Landlord" by Dead Kennedys, "Reunited" by Peaches and Herb, "I Started a Joke" by The Bee Gees, "I Wanna Fuck Myself" by GG Allin, "Niggas in Paris" by Kanye West and Jay-Z, "Highway Star" by Deep Purple. Not all of these are full covers — some were brief snippets they would include in the beginning or middle of their own songs when playing live. In a live performance in the UK they've covered the Eastenders theme, to an enthusiastic reaction from the audience | |

Lyrical Dissonance | |

Lyrical Dissonance: "Land of Sunshine", which has quite a funky tune, is about cults brainwashing people by asking a lot of personal questions and then pretending these things are 'wrong' and they can help them. note The song was written by piecing together phrases from fortune cookies and Scientology personality test questions. With its cheerleader samples and generally uplifting tone, "Be Aggressive" sounds like it should be some sort of Pep-Talk Song... It's actually an ode to gay fellatio. "Edge of the World" is a smooth, soulful song about a paedophile. | |

Man of a Thousand Voices | |
| Faith No More (Music) / int_dd26fd14 | comment |
Man of a Thousand Voices: Mike Patton is a musical example, with wildly varying voice pitches. It's perhaps worth noting that his vocal range is considered to be the highest on record, being three whole notes past the singer with the second-highest range (Corey Taylor). | |

Word Salad Lyrics | |
| Faith No More (Music) / int_e18675e6 | comment |
Word Salad Lyrics: A fair part of their discography; "Epic" springs to mind as a specific example, although you will hear all sorts of contradictory accounts of what Mike Patton allegedly said the lyrics mean, many of which are urban legends. Mike has mentioned before that he feels his lyrics are his weakest skill in composition, and he only sees lyrics as another instrument. | |

Self-Backing Vocalist | |
| Faith No More (Music) / int_e6dea5bf | comment |
"Helpless" has a subtle but still creepy example. Near the end of the song, there's three tracks of Mike Patton's vocals going at once - two of them are sung call and response parts, the third is just Mike shouting "HELP!" at the top of his lungs in time with the music... The screams aren't given as much emphasis in the mix as the more melodic vocals, but eventually everything in the song fades out but that part, so the last few seconds of the song are just Mike repeatedly screaming "HELP!" like his life depended on it. | |

Recycled Lyrics: "Chinese Arithmetic" and "R n' R", both from Introduce Yourself, share the following passage: "Last Cup Of Sorrow" includes the lines "Raise your glass and let's propose a toast / to the thing that hurts you most" - this is a slight variation a lyric from "Bloody Mary", an old Mr. Bungle demo ("Raise your glass and toast / To the thing that hurts you most") | |

As noted on Surprisingly Gentle Song, to spite the metalheads who wanted "War Pigs" came other songs. Billy Gould stated that "just to see the number of middle fingers go up when we go into 'Easy' is amazing." | |

| Faith No More (Music) / int_ecf2949f | comment |
Surreal Music Video: "We Care a Lot" features constant flashes to a baby. It's never explained. "Epic" involves the band performing on a soundstage while soaked by a storm, ominous close-ups of Patton, a flopping fish (which they jokingly claimed to have stolen from Björk) and Bottum's piano exploding at the end "Falling to Pieces" includes exploding fish and hands with eyeballs. | |

Harsh Vocals | |
| Faith No More (Music) / int_f8b511e7 | comment |
Harsh Vocals: Mike Patton occasionally uses these in songs like "Caffeine", "Cuckoo for Caca", "Ugly in the Morning" and "Surprise You're Dead". The most surprising example, however, is "Midlife Crisis", which uses them in the verses, but does it in such a way that it just sounds like a sort of whispered rapping. When most people hear the song for the first time, it sounds completely normal, yet was completely innovative. | |
