Faith No More was an experimental alternative rock group that formed in San Francisco, California in 1982 and disbanded in 1998. Their music combined elements of heavy metal, funk, hardcore punk, 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 Billy Gould, all ex-Faith No Man members, decided they wanted rid of him, and rather than firing him, all three quit.
