So I was reading some posts on a couple of Faith No More blogs and saw that the bass player, Billy Gould, was on Facebook. So, out of plain curiosity, I went onto the FNM group and sure enough, he was listed on there. Figured I’d try and add him as a friend. Can’t hurt right?
Well, I log on tonite and I have a Facebook email message from none other than, Mr. Gould himself. Here’s the message I received:
Do we know each other? I hate to say this, and I really hope you understand, but I’m trying to keep this facebook thing limited to close friends,and people I know firsthand, after my myspace homepage got totally out of control.
I am still here, and if you have any questions, etc, you can always email me here, and I’ll get back to you. You can also follow me on Twitter to get band updates.
Okay with you?
Bill
Here’s my reply:
No problem Bill. I imagine you’re getting a ton of these from people. I totally understand. I’ll keep up on Twitter and the new FNM.com when it’s released. Thanks for the message man and it’s awesome to see you guys back together. Take care.

It was actually very decent the guy to actually send a reply. Like I said in my message, I can imagine that once fans knew he was on FB, he probably got a ton of these requests so I can totally understand his position. I imagine he’s probably sent out a fair share of these types of messages but none the less, it was a nice gesture and very polite. Plus, let’s face it, it’s pretty cool to get an email from a member of a band you practically worshipped in your youth. Not a big deal, but still pretty cool.
