Faith No More
Simon Witter, Sky, 1993
Mikes pierced eyebrow epitomizes Faith No Mores finger to the world. With a trail of trashed hotels and hospitalized fans behind them and a singer who, ahem, doesnt use the toilet, Faith No More make most grunge bands look like the Osmonds. Simon Witter joined them on the American leg of a tour which has now hit Britain.
