Faith No More is an American rock band from San Francisco, California. The band was originally formed as Faith No Man, in 1981. Billy Gould and Mike Bordin are the longest remaining members of the band, having been involved with Faith No More since its inception. The band underwent several lineup changes early on, along with some major changes throughout their career. Faith No More officially disbanded in April 1998.
They have since reunited, along with all members from their latest release Album of the Year (1997), playing shows to support their The Second Coming Tour, between 2009-2012. The band has not officially announced any future plans to play more shows, or to record another album. The last version of Faith No More to perform consisted of Mike Bordin, Roddy Bottum, Billy Gould, Jon Hudson, and Mike Patton.
Faith No More was originally formed as Faith No Man in 1981 by bassist Billy Gould, drummer Mike Bordin, vocalist Mike “The Man” Morris, and keyboardist Wade Worthington. A year later Worthington was replaced by keyboardist Roddy Bottum who, along with Gould and Bordin, formed Faith No More without Morris. They chose the name to accentuate the fact that “The Man” (Mike Morris) was “No More”. After going through a series of different singers, which included Courtney Love, Chuck Mosley joined the band in 1983. With this lineup, the band released their first album, We Care a Lot, in 1985.
