We Care a Lot

Released as a single in early 1988, this Chuck Mosley-era song was actually recorded twice.  It was produced for the first Faith No More album of the same name in 1985 (then still "Faith. No More", under an independent label), and again on their follow-up album (and what many consider their true debut album), Introduce Yourself, in 1987.  Now under the label Slash, some of the lyrics were changed during the second recording to keep up-to-date with pop culture at that time.  Keyboardist Roddy Bottum wrote the sarcastic lyrics to mock celebrities that fake their charitable, save-the-world attitude (with help from Mosley in the updated version).  Patton then inherited this song, which would be the most played song from this era played on tour, and ad-libbed even more current events as the years went by.

In April of 2010, FNM returned to San Francisco during their reunion tour with a surprise for the audience.  Towards the end of the concert, Patton left the stage, and to the delight of old Faith No More fans, Mosley appeared and performed "As the Worm Turns", "Death March", "We Care A Lot", and "Mark Bowen" with his original band from 22 years prior (minus Jim Martin), and was then joined by Patton during "Introduce Yourself" for a duet encore.  However you feel about Mosley's style, you have to admit that this would've been pretty impressive to witness live! 

Mosley has his own band now, playing with Vanduls Ugainst Alliteracy (simply known as VUA), and even released an album in 2009 called Will Rap Over Hard Rock For Food, but he won't be forgotten as FNM's original front-man.

A Patton blog this may be, but here is Chuck's appearance on stage as he does "We Care a Lot".  Patton is off-stage at this point, watching, along with everyone else, what could've been Mosley's band all along.
