Of course the guys from Heavy Alternative wanted to know if a Faith No More reunion will ever take place.

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. See the full story link to listen to the entire interview. [see full story for more]- Click Here for the Full Story
