The man who belied that drummer hanging out with musicians gag and the man who makes FNM tick, the one and only Mike “Puffy” Bordin celebrates (or at least we do on his behalf) his 47th birthday today. Puff was an original member of the band and his distinctive drumming set the tone for the group right from the off. His soul may have been metal but the Ganeshian drummer had and has the skill and mind set to drive FNM in any direction.
As Mike P would chastise, Mike is also, of course, Ozzy’s drummer, recognition that we is feted by his peers as one of the greatest metal percussionists of all time.

- First dreadhead to live long enough to show that dreads look cooler in silver
- Competed in Who Wants to be a Millionaire

Happy Birthday Mike!!!

Happy belated birthday Puff !!! Best wishes and hope you guys will come back soon in France !!! Cheers up !!
ps : I wrote an article about Mr Bordin’s birthday in my blog. Hope you will enjoy it but, it’s in french !!! 😉
Sadly I missed that episode on WWTBM with Puffy on it, my wife saw it and told me about it though. I believe his wife was also a contestant at on point. Happy b-day Puff!
Puffy-Gandalf, damn it’s true. I love this man, every time when I see how he plays I get thrilled. Kisses and hugs 🙂
Happy birthday to Mr. Bordin!
And since we’re all going through Faith No More withdrawal, it’s horribly shameless plug time: I have a one-man cover of “As The Worm Turns” up at http://www.myspace.com/dogflesh (you have to scroll down to the sixth song).
I swear this is the only time I’ll ever pimp something here, just thought other FNM fans may be interested!
Puffy isn’t just a left-handed drummer who plays right-handed kit.
He’s THE left-handed drummer who BEST plays DRUMS.
Happy Birthday, my friend. And, please, don’t let Faith No More live us again… =~ We’re missing you so much, here in Brazil.
Mike, Billy, Roddy, John, and Puffy; never forget Pele’s words: “Remember… Keep the ball rolling…”
Happy Birthday Puffy! But that last Puffy fact … ouch!
I love that Puffy is becoming like the Gandalf The Grey of FNM…but still with the same sense of humor that he’s always had.
feliz cumpleaños MAESTRO , hoy tomaremos unas cervezas en su nombre, salud!
