William David Gould (born April 24, 1963 in Los Angeles, California) is a musician and producer. He played bass for the band Faith No More.
He started playing the bass while he was at school with Faith No More's keyboard player Roddy Bottum. In the early 1980s, he moved to San Francisco to start his studies. There, he played in several underground bands. During this time he met drummer Mike Bordin and guitar player Jim Martin. Although he was mostly influenced by punk rock, he integrated other musical elements in his style. He soon formed a band with Mike Bordin and Roddy Bottum that was later called Faith No More.
In the mid-nineties, he began to work as producer and co-produced Faith No More's last record "Album of the Year" with the former Swans drummer Roli Mosimann. He is now the CEO of Kool Arrow Records. He sometimes played with the Mexican grindcore band Brujeria in the 1990s. He was also involved in several occasional all star bands, such as Shandi's Addiction (with Maynard Keenan, Brad Wilk and Tom Morello) or Black Diamond Brigade (with Scandinavian rock musicians). He also played with Wayne Kramer and Fear Factory.
For most of Faith No More's life, he used a Zon bass guitar but started on an Aria bass guitar. He began with Peavey amplifiers, then moved to Ampeg amplifiers. He is known for employing a wide variety of playing styles.
Billy Gould has also produced CMX's Vainajala album
Roddy Bottum was a keyboardist for the San Francisco rock group Faith No More, and is currently frontman for Imperial Teen, sharing vocals, guitarwork and occasionally drums.
Born on Roswell Christopher Bottum, on 1 July 1963, in Los Angeles, he learnt classical piano from an early age, until moving to San Francisco when he was 18.
Joining Faith No More in 1982 (replacing Wade Worthington), Roddy remained in the band until its demise in 1998. However, after 1992's Angel Dust and its ensuing tour, Roddy's input into Faith No More was reduced significantly. A number of hypotheses have been speculated as to why this occurred - involved with his other band, Imperial Teen; a heroin problem that was getting somewhat out of hand; or differences with Mike Patton, who by that stage had the image of unofficial 'band leader'.
In 1994/1995, Roddy formed Imperial Teen with Lynn Perko, another Bay Area music veteren.
Roddy Bottum is also recognised as being a pioneering gay rock / metal musician, and admired as a rolemodel for contemporary gay youth who may not be comfortable with typical gay stereotypes. Bottum came out in 1993. One of his contributions to Faith No More was "Be Aggressive", a song about oral sex.
According to Bottum, Imperial Teen is not a 'gay band', although two of its members are openly gay. Apparently Roddy is pleased if gay youth 'look up to him', but he is not comfortable with being called a role model.
