Ex-Faith No More Bassist: 'No More Faith No More!'

The Dutch Radio station Kink FM recently called formerly Faith No More bassplayer Billy Gould for an exclusive interview. The guys from the metal show "Heavy Alternative" asked Billy the question...

Billy talked about the split of Faith No More. It took several years to get him back on track. As he says about the split: "The time in Faith No More took a lot of energy and we got pressure on us all the time. For 17 long years." He also added: "I needed a couple of years holiday. It got harder and harder."

Of course the guys from Heavy Alternative wanted to know if a Faith No More reunion will ever take place. If we have to believe Billy probably not: "If there's only one guy of 5 that want to go on, it ain't gonna work. Now Faith No More is like an ex-wife. I have a drink with them once in a while, but nothing more than that."

Billy Gould is now a label owner and producer. He also plays two songs on the new Fear Factory record "Transgression" that comes out on the 23th of August 2005.

Faith No More are great, but if the guyz dont want a reunion, dont force 'em to!

[lithium_project]

[PumpkinsPunk]

[kaliba]

[sum loser]

wow, well they'll be reunited when they feel like it. Faith No More is (or was) a great band...

[im not mental]

that's a shame. FNM rocks.

[pumpkins_rule]

Why would they reunite? Patton has other projects that are going just as well as FNM did.

[southern_stylin]

I want a Mr. Bungle reunion!

[kamikaze_74]

Patton has other projects that are going just as well as FNM did.

i disagree, none of them are as good or successful as faith no more.

[llama]

i disagree, none of them are as good or successful as faith no more.

I disagree. Mr. Bungle is just as good if not better than FNM. Not to mention his other projects...not as successful, but who cares...

[ChurchNSkate]

They were pretty cool, back in the day...

[12-string]

i like their music because i like it

[painedexpress]

Ah, good bands are hard to keep together.

[jamiepaul]

Phantomas are absoloutely brilliant. Mike Pattons film soundtrack covers album is amazing. Faith No More-Ashes to Ashes

[fleaflicker182]

Faith No More weren't that great. No big loss. Easy was a great cover, though.
