Guitar Meets Science dives into the turbulent history of Faith No More, the influential alternative metal band from San Francisco. Starting as Sharp Young Men and evolving through multiple names and chaotic lineups—including firing original singer Chuck Mosley after he passed out on stage at their album release party—the band recruited Mike Patton from Mr. Bungle, who wrote lyrics for their breakthrough album The Real Thing in just two weeks. The video covers their massive success with the hit "Epic" (and its controversial fish-flopping music video that drew PETA outrage), internal betrayals like guitarist Jim Martin being fired via fax, touring with Billy Idol, and the bitter breakup where they publicly blamed drummer "Puffy." It highlights the revolving-door drama, animal rights backlash, and how Patton helped transform the group into global superstars before it all unraveled.
