Editing Faith No More (section)

===Early days (1979–1984)===
The genesis of Faith No More was the group Sharp Young Men, formed in 1979,<ref>{{Cite web |title=Faith No More – The Vogue |url=https://thevogue.com/artists/faith-no-more/ |access-date=2024-01-31 |language=en}}</ref> by vocalist Mike Morris and keyboardist Wade Worthington. Drummer [[Mike Bordin]] and bassist [[Billy Gould]] joined afterwards. Morris called the name "a piss-take on all the 'elegant' groups at the time".<ref name=mike-morris>{{cite web|last1=Morris|first1=Mike|title=Faith No Man bio by Mike Morris|url=http://faithnoman.com/bio|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130824005518/http://faithnoman.com/bio|url-status=usurped|archive-date=August 24, 2013|access-date=October 1, 2014}}</ref> Later, he proposed the name Faith In No Man, but eventually the band settled on Bordin's suggestion, Faith No Man (stylized as Faith. No Man).<ref name="mike-morris"/> The band recorded "[[Quiet in Heaven/Song of Liberty]]", released in 1983. The songs were recorded in [[Matt Wallace (record producer)|Matt Wallace]]'s parents' garage, where Wallace had set up and been running a recording studio while the band was still recording under the name Sharp Young Men,<ref name=chriazi22>{{harvnb|Chirazi|1994|p=22}}</ref> with Morris, Gould, Bordin and Worthington. Worthington left shortly thereafter. The band's name was changed to Faith No Man for the release of the single, which featured two of the three songs recorded in Wallace's garage,<ref>{{cite web| url=http://old.fnm.com/faq/#4| title=Faith No More Frequently Answered Questions|website=Fnm.com| author=Agatha Samborska| access-date=November 5, 2011}}</ref> and Roddy Bottum replaced Worthington. Bottum, Gould and Bordin quit the band shortly after and formed Faith No More. They chose the name in September 1983 to accentuate the fact that "The Man" (Morris) was "No More". The band played with several vocalists and guitarists, including a brief stint with [[Courtney Love]], until it settled on vocalist [[Chuck Mosley]] in 1983<ref name="chuckdead"/> and, later, guitarist [[Jim Martin (musician)|Jim Martin]].<ref>{{harvnb|Chirazi|1994|pp=21–23}}</ref> Their first release under the Faith No More name was a self-titled cassette in 1983, which featured a live performance from that year on Side A, and a 20-minute instrumental track on Side B.
