Faith No More is an American rock band from San Francisco, California, formed originally as Faith No Man in 1981 by bassist Billy Gould, keyboardist Wade Worthington, frontman Michael Morris and drummer Mike Bordin. A year later when Worthington was replaced by keyboardist Roddy Bottum, and Mike Morris was ousted, the group began calling themselves Faith No More. 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. The band is best known for combining elements of alternative rock, heavy metal, funk, progressive rock, hip hop, hardcore punk, noise, jazz, avant-garde and easy listening (amongst many others) and have been hailed as one of the most influential rock bands of the late 80s and early 90s, often stated to have invented a style that would later develop into the mainstream alternative metal movements.
