Original guitarist Jim Martin is not part of the reunion. Performing in his place is Jon Hudson, who played with Faith No More during the latter stages of its initial run after Martin departed.
The rest of the band's best-known lineup — singer Mike Patton, Gould, drummer Mike "Puffy" Bordin and keyboardist Roddy Bottum — is intact.
Faith No More released "The Very Best Definitive Ultimate Greatest Hits Collection" on June 8 in the U.K. via Rhino Records.
This double disc set contains the band's greatest hits on the first CD, while the second CD features b-sides and rarities.
So far, no North American appearances are on the radar, but according to Gould, "U.S. shows are not out of the question."
