Faith No More was an experimental alternative rock group that formed in San Francisco, California in 1982 and disbanded in 1998. In the beginning of their 16 year career, Faith No More's vocalist changed a few times. However, the band's longest-lasting singer was Mike Patton.

Their music combined elements of heavy metal, funk, progressive, soul, hip hop, and jazz, among many others.

Faith No More formed in 1982 out of the ashes of Faith No Man, a band formed and headed by Mike "The Man" Morris. Roddy Bottum, Mike Bordin, and Bill Gould left Faith No Man. They chose the name "Faith No More" at the suggestion of a friend (as "The Man" was no more). After cycling through a few guitarists, the members recruited Jim Martin. A number of singers were tried, including a six-month stint by Courtney Love as confirmed by Mike Bordin in a 1997 interview Courtney was, and remains, a friend of Roddy's. An airing has since surfaced of her performing on San Francisco Public Access TV with the band...
