Roswell Christopher "Roddy" Bottum III (born 1 July 1963) is an American musician, best known as the keyboardist for the San Francisco hard rock band Faith No More. He is also a part of Imperial Teen, best known for their 1999 single "Yoo Hoo" used in the movie Jawbreaker. In addition to popular musical career, Bottum also scored three Hollywood movies and composed an opera entitled Sasquatch: The Opera, which premiered in New York on April 2, 2015.
Joining his schoolfriends Billy Gould and Mike Bordin in Faith No More in 1982 (replacing Wade Worthington), Bottum remained in the band until its demise in 1998. However, after 1992's Angel Dust and its ensuing tour, Bottum's input into Faith No More was reduced significantly. In an interview made available to fans on the band's King for a Day... Fool for a Lifetime album (vinyl collection box set), Bottum explained that his contributions to the band's efforts had necessarily declined because of the death of his father that year.
In 2009, Bottum returned to Faith No More for a reunion tour and possibly a recording. Their seventh studio album Sol Invictus, was released in May 2015.
