In a rare interview, Faith No More, former Ozzy and Korn drummer Mike “Puffy” Bordin joined the Let There Be Talk podcast with Dean Delray, and gave a two-hour discussion on many topics. Although hesitant to drop any bombshell news, he did give an update on the status of Faith No More and why the band has not resumed touring or any activities. This follows similar comments recently from Roddy Bottum. Bordin says he can only speak for the members he is in touch with: Bottom and Billy Gould. Three and a half years after canceling their tour at the last minute in 2021 performances, citing frontman Mike Patton’s mental health struggles and other issues, Bordin implied that Patton is now not interested in working with the band anymore.

He also discussed past relationships with Jim Martin, Chuck Mosely, praised Courtney Love, replacing Randy Castillo (RIP), his current project with his former Ozzy touring bandmates Joe Holmes and Robert Trujillo, and his lifelong love of San Francisco.

When I was much, much, much younger, I went to a talent show at a girlfriend’s high school. Most of the acts were musical, so they set up a stage in the gym rather than using the auditorium. About four or five of those bands were hardcore punk fronted by the same kid, and every song exploded in a sub-two-minute speed-punk rage blast.Continue reading
