247: Mike Bordin (Faith No More, Ozzy Osborne)

Mike Bordin delivers trance inducing rhythmic patterns with
earth-shattering power. This inimitable style places him in the
pantheon of all-time great rock drummers. Mike and Joe discuss:
Mike's journalist grandfather who worked as editor of The
Milwaukee Sentinel; how Mike and his childhood friend, legendary
bassist Cliff Burton, began playing their respective instruments
together; how music saved Mike's life; how he developed his
explosive drum technique; the steady trajectory of Faith No More;
hanging out around Tony Williams; playing with Ozzy; and Mike's
preference for living in the present.
