Mark Bowen
Mark Bowen is an American drummer and guitar player who played with Faith No More in 1983. Bowen met the band through his girlfriend at the time, who shared a home with Bill Gould and Roddy Bottum. Bowen claims to have never been an official member, stating "I don't think I joined Faith No More [...] I felt I was in the band, but not quite". Former singer Chuck Mosley has compared Bowen's style of guitar playing to musician Brian Eno, noting that Bowen "built atmospheres" using effects pedals rather than chord progressions or riffs to produce "all these cool as shit sounds". Bowen eventually was replaced as guitar player due to this style, as the band sought a more "aggressive" guitar sound.

Bowen's name was subsequently used as the title for one of the songs on 1985's We Care a Lot; "Mark Bowen" was initially a placeholder name for a demo tape featuring Bowen's playing, but upon seeing the title, Chuck Mosley wrote lyrics for it based on his impression of the guitarist, who he described as "a really nice guy. Quiet and unobtrusive".
