this album left me very flat to say the least but all the live performances I've seen for it have been a surprisingly significant improvement most due to patton

Thoughts on Mondo Cane?

Angel Dust and King for a Day are great albums

Mr. Bungle are an amazing band thanks to Patton, Dunn and Spruance all being great songwriters. Disco Volante and California are both 10/10's

Mondo Cane is alright

I've always seen musicians saying things like "Mike Patton is the best" and stuff like that, but I've never seen normal people say it, is he underrated or am I just being a fag?

maybe you're talking to older people? He hasn't been relevant in about a decade

I only ever liked Disco Volante for some reason

I mean, Peeping Tom, Fantomas, Mondo Cane, Tomahawk, Collaboration with John Zorn and Morricone and the latest album from Faith No More "Sol Invictus" are from less than a decade

fantomas last new material as I understand it was suspended animation at just over a decade ago

and tomahawk was never relevant

neither is sol invictus

new bungle when?

Probably never sadly

I don't think Mr. Bungle is dead, Puffy and Billy Gould are good friend of the integrants of Mr. Bungle, so they influence Mike on getting on work with them, HOPEFULLY

It's more like Patton and Spruance don't get along all that well. Plus Trevor Dunn has mentioned before he's against the idea on his twitter

GOAT performance

Patton is a hack but Trey Spruance and Trevor Dunn are good enough that they managed to make Mr. Bungle listenable.

saw bungle when they toured for california. played the album straight through. good times, good times.

don't even have the album anymore. still listen to secret chiefs once in awhile, but that's not patton related, and i think this tangent's gone far enough.

As a singer, I'd say he probably is one of, if not the best singer around, he has incredibly versatility and range.

Plus, he's the king of /fit/, so that has to count for something.

I love the EP he did with Dillinger Escape Plan

Honestly, I kind of agree. I find Patton himself very hit and miss - I wouldn't call him a hack necessarily, but certainly unreliable - but to me that's not where his talent lies anyway. In my eyes, Patton's very similar to John Zorn, in that neither of them are reliably any good on stage (Zorn's sax-playing is among the worst I've ever heard), but both are astoundingly talented at collecting genius musicians to surround themselves with, and getting all of those masterful players organised onto a really quite musical or interesting project.

I don't think of either of them as musicians so much as art-directors and producers - but I don't think that's something to sneer at: I think we'd have missed out on a lot of good music without them.
