Faith No More's Billy Gould Thinks Music Biz Going Backwards

07/06/2015
. (Classic Rock) Faith No More bassist Billy Gould believes the music industry has been living in the past for nearly 30 years. And while he's not certain if a new generation of stadium giants will appear when the current ones have gone, he feels it won't have much to do with quality of art.

Gould tells KaaosTV: "I kind of felt we got into this era when Guns N 'Roses came in and everything went retro. We're still coming out of this retro thing.

"It has nothing to do with music sales or the business. It has to do with culture working in a forward direction. We went backwards for about 20 years - I'd like to see us go forward again."

Asked about the future of stadium rock, he replies: "It's hard today. To get to that size you need so much organization, logistics, corporate sponsorship and stuff.

"It's really an economic question. I don't think it's a cultural question." Read more and stream the full interview here.
