Original Faith No More singer, Chuck Mosley, spent the summer of 2016 touring the US as a mostly one-man acoustic show dubbed the Reintroduce Yourself Tour. He spoke with Songfacts’ Greg Prato between dates early on in the trek. An excerpt follows:

Songfacts: This year, the We Care A Lot album is being reissued with an expanded tracklisting.

Chuck Mosley: “It's cool. I went back and listened to it, and I have to say, it didn't sound like anything back then, and really not much now - except for the rapping over the rock part.”

Songfacts: By and large, how did the songwriting work in Faith No More back in the day?

Chuck: “Billy [Gould] and Mike [Bordin] did a lot of stuff, and Roddy [Bottum] - right off the bat. That's kind of the way it worked. Mike did beats, and Roddy had a couple of songs, like "We Care A Lot," where I threw in a chorus. A lot of collaboration. Those guys had the music, Roddy had some music and some vocals, and he knew what to do on those vocals. No one ever told me what to do. One song - it's actually one of my favorite songs - that Billy wrote all of it, was "Why Do You Bother?" It's one of my favorites to listen to and sing. Up there with "Mark Bowen," but "Mark Bowen" is a lot harder to sing.”
