Around 1992's "Angel Dust", Patton started to explore his "masculinity" through diverse anti-fashion styles. That year he cut his hair short, grew a goatee and began dressing "a bit like an auto mechanic no one would trust". In 1992 he and keyboardist Roddy Bottum pierced their right and left eyebrows, respectively. "Kerrang!" wrote that some aspects of this fashion influenced that of nu metal. For the 1995 album "King For a Day... Fool For a Lifetime", all the members of Faith No More, excluding Mike Bordin, shaved their heads, which in the following months, for Patton, became "unkempt and overgrown, complementing a thick, lazy moustache". During this period, the "San Francisco Chronicle" observed that the way he dressed lent him to probably "be mistaken for a blue-collar worker".
