Revision as of 08:40, 4 August 2006 by Pushit (talk | contribs)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)Chuck Mosely was the original singer in the rock band Faith No More. He featured on their debut album We Care a Lot and on their second, Introduce Yourself.
Born in Hollywood, CA, yet raised in South Central Los Angeles and Venice; Mosely Befriended Faith No More bassist Billy Gould and the pair formed a reportedly obscure band called The Animated. It was after the break up of this group that Gould formed Faith no More, and Mosely formed Haircuts That Kill (The sleeve notes to FNM's "Introduce Yourself" album contain the line: "Thanks to Haircuts That Kill for letting us borrow Chuck"). Mosely joined Faith No More between 1984 and 1985 (after Courtney Love's short stint as lead singer ended).
He was fired from the band in 1988 for a number of reasons, including alleged drug abuse and antagonistic behaviour (his relationship with guitarist "Big" Jim Martin reputedly descended into physical violence), though according to many he was let go because his bandmates considered him a poor vocalist: it has since been alleged by members of Faith No More that Mosely was given money with which to buy singing lessons, but spent it on quaaludes instead. He was replaced by Mike Patton.
After his dismissal from FNM, Mosely featured as singer and guitarist in Cement (albums Cement and Man with the Action Hair), who also featured on compilations Buy This Used Compact Disc: A Dutch East India Sampler and 'Just Add Water' and recently singer and guitarist in VUA (Vandals Against Illiteracy) (sic) with their album Will Rap Over Hard Rock For Food. He also had a brief stint with the band Bad Brains.
Mosley is now a chef in Cleveland, Ohio.
