← Back | Musician | 4 Music Videos
Emerging in the 1980s, Faith No More wasn't a "him" but rather an "it"—a genre-defying, convention-smashing band that carved its own unique path in the music industry. By blending elements of heavy metal, punk rock, funk, and hip-hop, it quickly became impossible to pin Faith No More to one genre, a captivating trait that's garnered them legions of fans worldwide. Their impressive catalogue of music videos illustrates their creative diversity. It's worth noting that in the "Epic" video—the band's most popular song—they dressed in their best 'business casual,' completely at odds with the hair metal aesthetic of the era. Interestingly, it also stars a fish, gasping for breath on a chair throughout the video, a striking image that people still find intriguing and confounding years later.
Faith No More's videos always tend to leave an indelible mark on viewers. From the dark and brooding atmosphere in "Midlife Crisis" to the surreal suburban terror that pervades "A Small Victory," their visual storytelling skills are something to behold. Let's not forget about "Easy," where they were seen cruising around Las Vegas in a sleek, convertible car—taking the soul classic for a lighthearted spin. This band was also known for their interesting spin on cover songs. In their video for the Commodores classic "Easy," they provide a tongue-in-cheek send-up of the grandiloquent music videos of the 1980s. It shows rare band footage of them jollily wandering around motels and roadside dunking donuts in tuxedos and cheap wigs, bopping along to a tune that couldn't be more different from their usual hard-hitting sound.
Despite getting their start well over three decades ago, Faith No More continue to influence new generations of musicians. With their blend of powerful rhythms, soaring vocals, and offbeat humor, Faith No More has shown that there's plenty of room for innovation in rock music. Their videos remain a testament to a band that understood spectacle, performance, and most importantly, the art of defying expectations at every turn.
