Worthington departed in 1982 as did Morris in 1983. New permanent members to join were Billy Gould (bass, guitar, vocals), Roddy Bottum (keyboards, guitar, vocals), Mike Patton (vocals), and Jon Hudson (guitar). Along the way the band has featured many temporary members including Paula Frazer, Courtney Love, Jim Martin, and Chuck Mosley. The genesis of Faith No More was the group Sharp Young Men, formed in 1979 by Mike Morris and classically trained pianist Wade Worthington. For years, Worthington had wanted to form a Jimmy Smith-style jazz project, with just him on organs and a drummer, but Morris convinced him to become part of a new band idea he had called Sharp Young Men. Morris called the Sharp Young Men name \"a piss-take on all the 'elegant' groups at the time\", and claimed on their early music he was influenced by Killing Joke, Theatre of Hate and The Blackouts. Later in 1983 the band changed their name to \"Faith. No Man\" and released their debut 7-inch vinyl single \"Quiet in Heaven\/Song of Liberty\", via Ministry of Propaganda Records, and recorded in producer Matt Wallace's parents' garage. Wade Worthington left at this point, replaced on keyboards by Roddy Bottum, and the re-formed quartet settled on the name Faith No More. The band's first two albums, We Care a Lot (1985) and Introduce Yourself (1987), featured singer Chuck Mosley. With Patton's addition in 1988, fresh out of his high school outfit Mr Bungle, Faith No More broke through with the platinum-selling The Real Thing (1989) and gold-selling Angel Dust (1992). Faith No More's music is generally considered to be alternative metal, experimental rock, funk metal, and rap metal. In addition to the band's metal influences, like Black Sabbath and Ozzy Osbourne, Bordin acknowledged gothic rock and post-punk influences from bands including Siouxsie and the Banshees, The Cure, Psychedelic Furs, Echo and the Bunnymen, Killing Joke, Public Image Ltd, and Theatre of Hate. As a recording outfit, FNM has releasded a meagre seven full-length studio albums, plus 37 Singles. Standout albums include \u003cem\u003eThe Real Thing\u003c\/em\u003e (1989), \u003cem\u003eAngel Dust\u003c\/em\u003e (1992), \u003cem\u003eKing for a Day... Fool for a Lifetime\u003c\/em\u003e (1995), and \u003cem\u003eAlbum of the Year\u003c\/em\u003e (1997). Faith No More were voted No. 52 on VH1's \"100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock\", and is credited for inventing the alternative metal genre which began in the 1980s, fusing metal with other genres. Faith No More has also been credited for influencing nu metal bands, such as Limp Bizkit, Korn, and Sevendust, primarily due to the popularity of \"Epic\", and other early material that featured rap and rock crossovers. After the release of The Real Thing, a feud developed between Faith No More and fellow funk-influenced Californian group Red Hot Chili Peppers. Patton and the Chili Peppers' frontman Anthony Kiedis were the focus of a long-running dispute, after the latter accused him of imitating his mannerisms and image in the band's music video for \"Epic\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/article\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist Website: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.fnm.com\/\"\u003efnm.com\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatured Albums: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/search?q='Faith%20No%20More'%20Album\"\u003eFaith No More\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelated Artists: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/search?q='Mr%20Bungle'\"\u003eMr Bungle, \u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/search?q='Billy%20Gould'\"\u003eBilly Gould, \u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/search?q='Mike%20Patton'\"\u003eMike Patton, \u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/search?q='Stew'\"\u003eStew, \u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/search?q='The%20Negro%20Problem'\"\u003eThe Negro Problem\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ZG_k5CSYKhg\" style=\"border-radius: 12px;\" height=\"100%\" width=\"100%\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/U8b88US-6ts\" style=\"border-radius: 12px;\" height=\"100%\" width=\"100%\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/JNZ1-p_Fv2M\" style=\"border-radius: 12px;\" height=\"100%\" width=\"100%\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":null,"offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42797883719762,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1712\/4551\/files\/FaithNoMore-Band_e5683169-8cf4-4d90-9334-9d51b88523c1.jpg?v=1791511869","url":"https:\/\/www.artrockstore.com\/products\/faith-no-more-artist","provider":"Artrockstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
