[edit] Biography

Bordin played drums in Faith No More for the duration of the band's career, from 1982 to 1998. In 1997 he joined Ozzy Osbourne's band. He also briefly played with three-quarters of the original Black Sabbath line-up during closing segments of Ozzy Osbourne's 1997 headlining concerts on the Ozzfest tour due to original Sabbath drummer Bill Ward having health issues.

Bordin re-recorded the drum tracks on Osbourne's solo albums, Blizzard of Ozz, and Diary of a Madman, for remasters released in 2002. The re-recordings were the result of a lawsuit brought on by original drummer Lee Kerslake and original bassist Bob Daisley (whose part was re-recorded by Robert Trujillo) for unpaid royalties.

Bordin appeared on the 2002 album, Degradation Trip, released by Jerry Cantrell along with Robert Trujillo on bass. He 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, 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.
