Here's the thing about Mike. The man has some serious pipes. He has a six octave range and excelled in any octave. He writes brilliant songs. And his stage presence is only matched by Adolf Hitler.
Seriously, Watch Mr. Bungle play What the World needs now at Bizarre Festival and then watch a video of the Nuremburg rallies. We better thank our lucky stars Mike didn't go into politics or he would have taken over the world.
But Mr. Bungle as a whole had a brilliant dynamic. It wasn't just the Mike Patton backup band. They all made huge creative contributions to what made Bungle what it is. Yes Mike wrote Girls of Porn, Sweet Charity and The Air conditioned Nightmare.
But Trevor Dunn wrote Retrovertigo, The holy Filament and Phlegmatics. Trey Spruance wrote Desert Search for Techno Allah, None of them know they were robots, Golem II the bionic vapour boy.
Other bands like Nirvana for instance were not like that. Nirvana was basically just the Kurt Cobain backup band. Mr. Bungle was the perfect storm of legendary talent, and Mike was the face of it all, the delicious cherry on top of an already delicious sundae.
He was the ambassador that allowed the amazing talent of the combo that was Mr. Bungle to be brought into our lives. He was the prism that focused the lazer beams from the brains of Trevor, Trey, Heifietz and Mckinnon and amplified them until they were powerful enough to blow out minds out through our ear holes.
Yes, he is the most incredible front man who has ever lived, hands down.

I agree
The Cult of Patton is the 2nd worst thing ever, just after Cult of Maynard.
>>61405630
I also agree.
Mike Patton is really talented

Oh God, get out you worthless and desperate sub-plebeian.
You know your artifice is so tried. If you even once trusted your gut, you'd know that all of the bullshit that you've worked to develop is not even a portion of what you hope to be.
Mike Patton is not even eligible for a left swipe on Tinder. You have to swipe right every time.

listen cockface...you are the most vile cumstain I've ever encountered on this forum. You monopoloise every thread you come across with some half arsed one liner that would'nt qualify for the Joe Longthorne show and then present yourself like you are the King of comedy on American prime time. You epitimise most of what I detest about the internet...opinions formed at the drop of a hat....petty jokes at the expense of others with no thought for their feelings and most of all the self absorbing egotistical self correction of spelling that really points out to every other poster that the highlight of your day is a wank to "big tit weekly". You dont have the friends here you perceive yourself to have and have the intellect of a gnat and the culmanation of this sceario will be your demise in a slow and agonising manner.
Be warned.
The most based singer that has ever lived

That's what this face tells me.
What's /mu/'s favorite Patton project?
Bungle holds a special place in my heart
What genre would you put the Bends in, /mu/ ?
>>61406120
Expiremental ambient I suppose
Great track though, listening to it with your eyes closed with the lights off is really great.
Check out Delivrm Cordia by Fantomas, it's different from The bends but still great!

wow he isn't a very good singer live. He's flat all over the place. not very accurate in his pitch. His mic technique is pretty poor too.
There's one thing patton can't do: He can't be sincere.

>There's one thing patton can't do: He can't be sincere.
That's not inherently a good or bad thing though. It's just not his style
I think his sincerity is that he is all over the place. He is the perfect Übermensch. When he wakes up he is a thousand people all at once, and he doesn't know whether to comb his hair or jerk off for forty minutes, in the meantime he's playing out scenarios that might somehow fit into his lyrical panorama. As he goes by life plucking through the ripe fruits of the artistic world, he smiles bitterly, knowing that he has already crescendoed at a point that is subliminally too close to godhood for any human being with artistic merit. Somehow he is still pushing on, because unlike Kurt Cobain, or some drug addicted adolescent, Michael is benevolent to the creative spirit over the super ego. His will to circumvent himself with ideas is nothing short of inspirational, poetic, and a grace to us all.
He's an underrated lyricist to be honest
