 After Chuck Mosely was fired from Faith No More in 1988, they sought out Mike Patton as a replacement after Jim Martin showed the rest of FNM a Mr. Bungle demo. Mike Patton joined FNM as a side project, his main project being MB, but Patton's bio reads:
 
"Mike Patton first gained fame for his vocal work for the metal band FAITH NO MORE, and after they disbanded in 1998 produced some excellent RIO/Avant-prog with MR. BUNGLE"
 
Mr. Bungle had been putting out albums since 1991, 7 years before FNM's disbanding, & had been selling demos since 1986.
 
It seems misleading to imply that Patton went on to MB after FNM ended, when he never left MB in the first place.

Almost ...except for this part:
 
"(which he stated in 1991)"
 
Mr. Bungle was formed in 1985. Their first album came out in 1991.

I would prefer something like this:
 
" Mike Patton first gained fame for his vocal work for the metal band FAITH NO MORE, as well as a solid cult following with his avant-prog outfit MR. BUNGLE. After FNM disbanded in 1998 he recorded one last album with MR. BUNGLE before forming the crazed and theatrical avant-metal band FANTÔMAS. He recorded his two little-known solo albums while touring with FAITH NO MORE. "
 
Smile?
