Latercera.com recently posted a brief interview with Billy Gould….in spanish:
Faith No More: “Great moments of the band that happened in Chile”
Billy Gould, bear of the band, speaks of its return, the future and shows that will offer in Santiago.
“These days, Faith No More takes a breather. A few weeks off before starting the second coming of The South American tour, the tour back in July, the group revived, 11 years after its dissolution. And in an unprecedented gesture at the meeting of one of the most important rock bands of the 90s, its bassist and founding member, Billy Gould, interrupted his break to talk with La Tercera. The highlights of entry: “On this tour we are not giving any interviews, this is a special case,” the massive man in charge of the four strings of the group that next October 29 will offer a gala show at Teatro Caupolicán and next day will hold its reunion with the masses in the Estadio de La Florida
“We decided to talk because what happened in Chile is very crazy,” Gould said. “Chile is one of the most special places for the group. I mean you. Great moments in the history of the band have happened there and feel a very powerful energy. We are very aware of the expectation of our visit, if this is not for Chile, we would not have given this interview, “says the man who come together on the group for the third time the country after a bizarre debut at the Festival de Viña 1991 and a return that had received thousands of spitting in the hectic closing Monsters of Rock Festival 1995 at Teatro Caupolicán.
What do you remember Viña?
Vina was incredible. We thought it was a rock festival. When we started playing there was a family audience thought we were a band of pop. Many people did not understand what is ours, many people hated him and there was another that I liked. Definitely do not pass unnoticed.
Do you remember the spit of 1995?
It was crazy. There was a very different energy from Vina.
“Bad energy?
No, no, quite the contrary. It was one of the most intense shows I can remember. It was one of those nights where everything is on, I remember we played very fast.
A RETURN HERMETIC
Since the group announced its return through a statement on its official site, there have been no new developments to the new dates that had joined the tour that revisits songs from the six albums between 1985 and 1997 – and ending in March 2010 in Australia.
Do you prepare something special for South America?
We’re taking songs that we have not touched on the reunion tour. Insurance that covers but will not tell you what. Every night is different, there is little, just two weeks.
What will happen to the group after the tour?
None of us know.
Right?
Yes, we have not sat down and talked much about it.
Can we expect new songs by Faith No More?
I’d love that to happen, but it’s something that just solve once we finish the tour. For now we are enjoying playing, we’re having a great time.
