Mike Bordin (born Michael Andrew Bordin, November 27, 1962 in San Francisco, California) was the co-founder and drummer of Faith No More and is now playing with Ozzy Osbourne. He also briefly played with three-fourths of the original Black Sabbath line-up during closing segments of Ozzy Osbourne's 1997 headlining concerts on the Ozzfest tour.
Bordin also appeared on the second solo album released by Jerry Cantrell, and toured with KoЯn when their drummer David Silveria was injured.
In 2001, Bordin appeared as a contestant on the American version of the television game show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, ironically, immediately following his wife. He made it to the $16,000 level before missing a question, walking away with $1,000. Former bandmate Robert Trujillo, now of Metallica, watched on in the crowd.
His nickname is Puffy, from when his hair was worn in an afro style at the beginnings of Faith No More.
The lyrics "Take it from our drummer, Puff / Being good, it gets you stuff" from Faith No More's song "Cuckoo for Caca" (King for a Day... Fool for a Lifetime, 1995) refers to Bordin's tendency to do nice things for people and their offering him things in return.
Puffy is a pinball fanatic. During the early Faith No More days, his initials were on pinball machines all over San Francisco. His "hotel" name was Henry Krinkle, which led to the writing of the song, "Mr. Krinkle", by Primus' Les Claypool.
