Faith No More band members

The American alternative metal band Faith No More has had, in total, twenty band members: seven vocalists; including Mike Morris, ten guitarists; also including Mike Morris, two keyboardists, one drummer and one bassist.

The band initially formed under the name of Faith No Man with Mike Morris, Billy Gould, Wade Worthington and Mike Bordin in 1981 with which they recorded the only release under the name. Wade then left the band shortly after and was replaced with Roddy Bottum before the entire band, minus Mike Morris, quit to form Faith No More in 1982. During this time the band went through the majority of their total vocalists and guitarists, of which Courtney Love was the third and longest standing vocalist at the time, [cite web |url=http://negele.org/db/index.php3?band=2&year=1992&month=6&id=980 |title=Faith No More: Angel Dust in the wind |accessdate=2008-08-18 |first=Jem |last= Aswad |date=1992-05 |work=Issue 25 |publisher=Reflex Magazine] before settling on Chuck Mosely and Jim Martin with whom they recorded and released their first two studio albums, "We Care a Lot" and "Introduce Yourself". After the tour for "Introduce Yourself" the band fired Mosely and hired Mike Patton, from the experimental rock band Mr. Bungle. This was their longest standing band line-up and featured the most releases, including the studio albums "The Real Thing" and "Angel Dust". Following the departure of Jim Martin from the band in late 1993 the band went without a guitarist until the start of the writing of the follow up to "Angel Dust", King for a Day... Fool for a Lifetime for which they hired Trey Spruance, from Mr. Bungle, who left before the tour and was replaced by Dean Menta who was replaced with Jon Hudson before the recording of their final album, "Album of the Year", before splitting up in 1998.cite web|last=Erlewine |first=Stephen Thomas |title=Faith No More Biography |publisher=allmusic |url=http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=11:m7rvad5kv8wo~T1 | accessdate = 2008-08-18]
