This suggestion should be made right after the
Infectious Grooves post, but Greek elections made me to be, both acknowledging (to
the artist and his contribution) and sarcastic (to election’s results).
Faith No More is an American rock band from San Francisco, California, formed in 1981. The band was originally named Faith
No Man.[1] Bassist Billy Gould, keyboardist Roddy Bottum and drummer 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 in their career, along with some major changes
later on. The current lineup of Faith No More consists of Gould, Bottum,
Bordin, guitarist Jon Hudson, and vocalist Mike Patton.
As sergegrone
states in rateyourmusic.com: «Faith No
More is one of those rare cases where a band manages to become successful,
innovative and appealing to a lot of different audiences. Their transition from
being another funk rock band of L.A. to emerge as one of the key alternative
bands of the '90s was very particular as well. Despite having a couple of minor
hits like "We Care A Lot" and "Anne's Song", the band
really became prominent when a then-unknown genius, Mike Patton, arrived, and
everything changed for good. Their single, "Epic", not only was an
excellent crossover track and a very succesful release; it was, more
importantly, truly representative of the band's sound, and so their 1989 album
The Real Thing was a huge hit and made them the darlings of a new musical
movement. Their newfound success gave them the possibility to explore a lot of
ideas and the freedom to express themselves openly. They had the brains and the
chops: Billy Gould, Roddy Bottum, Mike Bordin and Jim Martin were top notch
musicians who gave Patton a comfortable place to develop his onstage persona
and eccentric soundscapes. The product of these experiments, Angel Dust, is one
of the most complex albums released by a major label, with a mishmash of
influences, like art rock, funk, metal and huge studio experimentations and
sampling. But, somehow the album caught the public's consciousness and now
Faith No More was not only a revolutionary band but a very intelligent one as
well. The rest of the decade saw them enjoying their popularity, and releasing
a pair of lesser albums, but their place among the true greats of the
alternative explosion could not be stolen by anyone. Sometimes, people tend to
overlook their impact and label them mainly as Mike Patton's most succesful
project, but, if you pay a little more attention you will see that, in fact,
Faith No More was the band that made Mike Patton what he is nowadays»
