Faith No More - We Care A Lot (Dave Aude's Big Beat Remix)

Remixed by Dave Aude / Reprise

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 , all ex-Faith No Man members, reformed without him, and recruited Jim Martin to replace him on guitar. A number of singers passed through, including brief stints by Courtney Love and Chris Cornell , neither of whom recorded with the group. Chuck Mosley became the full time singer, and appeared on their first two records. Their best known song from this era is probably "We Care A Lot", which satirized the prevalence of charity -related rock efforts such as Live Aid and " We Are the World ".

The band gained a reputation for infighting and friction that sometimes went way beyond the limits of "creative differences." In a notorious interview in 1987 , Mosley claimed that Martin had hit him with a bottle, and there were frequent rumours of physical confrontations between band members. Indeed, in a short history of the band in one issue, the British music newspaper Melody Maker observed that the band's internal relationships had descended into "pathological hatred". Bordin in particular seemed to be very much the "whipping boy" of the band and the butt of numerous cruel pranks and practical jokes. It is doubtful that the band would have stayed together had they not been successful after their second album, Introduce Yourself .
