Faith No More

one of a few bands that changed the face of rock music by being totally origional! the band was started by founder members billy gould (b-ss) and mike “puffy” bordin (drums)under the name faith no man! who then went on to enrole roddy bottum (keyboards) jim martin (guitars) and chuck morsley (vocals)and form faith no more!

after the release of their second alb-m (introduce yourself) chuck morsley was then fired due to drink and drug problems (he is now a chef and the singer in a band called cement).
they then enrolled courtney love as a singer she never actually recoarded anything with the band because she was fired after a year for being too much of a dictator. after a listen of a demo c-ssette by a californian band (mr bungle) jim martin pursuaded billy gould and the rest of the band to contact the bands singer and see if he would sing for them!
at 19 the fresh faced singer michael allen patton agreed to take the job and for the band this was the best thing that could happen not only did they have a new singer they had a new sound a hybrid of metal, funk, rap and techno with clean vocals and energy the band even had top a ten single in the uk (epic).
the band seemed invinceble right up until their third release with patton (king for a day) where the band were dealing with numerous personal and profesional problems this was the first alb-m they had made without the presence of jim martin on guitar, a lot of emotin is heard through this alb-m roddy bottum didnt have much of a part in wrighting this alb-m as he was dealing with the death of his farther and his rehabilitation of a drug habit. jim martin was replaced by trey spruance (mr bungle, secret chiefs 3) trey never actually toured with faith no more he was sacked he was unable to commit to the hectic touring schedule which faith no more endured with each release.
he was then replaced by dean menta who toured with them but didnt appear on the last alb-m they released (alb-m of the year) the reason for dean’s exit was that the writing process for the new alb-m wasn’t working out. he was was later replaced by jon hudson who was the bands last guitarest and contributed to the wrighting of alb-m of the year!
even tho the bands relationship was volotile and at times under a lot of presure this was a key ingredient in the bands wrighting and the controversey was part of the reason why people loved them so much! the band influenced and still manages to influence many new metal bands to this day not only that but people blame thenm for the invention of nu metal!

one of the very few bands that can’t really be accused of ‘selling out’ by anyone who expects thier allegations to be taken seriously. could be called the origi-n-l rap-metal band?
you’re perfect, yes, it’s true
but without me you’re only you
your menstruating heart
it ain’t bleedin’ enough for two
it’s a midlife crisis…
a band that kicked major -ss. need i say more?

q: what do you get when you mix together spectacular vocals, mesmerizing keyboards, crunchy guitar riffs, rolling b-sslines and tribal like drumming?

a: faith no more!
1. person: oh my g-d! you should like listen to fall out boy! they’re like so amazing!
me: whats so amazing about them? they’re nothing special.
person: oh my g-d! i can’t believe you just said that!
me: you want something amazing? listen to faith no more!

2. i was only a small child when faith no more were around. it would be nice if they got back together ’cause i bet they were awesome live!

one of the best bands to walk the earth. they created the finest alb-m in history, called “angel dust”, in 1992. all their other alb-ms are cl-ssic, too. i have a “the real thing” t-shirt, and i just won a “king for a day… fool for a lifetime” t-shirt off ebay, which kicks -ss. it would be awesome if they got back together, because i have never seen them live.
faith no more are kings of rock music.
a truly amazing band. it’s one out a slight few alt bands that’s actually cool. jim martin is a great guitar player. the only objection i have is that some people claim it’s rap too. 1.) fnm is too cool to be rap
2.) mike patton’s singing on “epic” is more punk than rap

the other thing i don’t like about them are these other sh-tty alt bands ripping off their style.
fatih no more kicks your -ss not kissess it.
a very creative and talented band that originated from san fransisco in around 1983. the band’s musical output was enhanced by continuous tensions in the group that seemingly resulted in the members trying to ‘outdo each other’ creatively; leading to some very excellent music. faith no more played almost every style of music from lounge to death metal, with their typical sound having funky b-ss, distored guitar riffs, energetic drumming, clever keyboards and catchy lyrics and singing. faith no more dissolved in 1997 and the members are currently involved in other exciting outfits.
the best faith no more alb-m is ‘angel dust’, but it is probably best to start with ‘who cares a lot? the greatest hits’.
one of the best things to happen to music ever. the original crossover band. however, their experimental music inspired an incredibly manufactured cr-p sound of bands such as limp biscuit and 311. that makes them one of the most incredibly misinterpreted bands as well.
i listen to the band faith no more all the time.
