Mike Patton - MR BUNGLE in Bologna 09/02/2000

September 2nd 2000: short interview in italian for Mike Patton right before going on stage with MR BUNGLE

[@Kabrabmz]

This is such an intelligent man... who can't love him?

[@gretac505]

Mike speaks italian better than my brother and we're italian

[@fromhell87ASR]

Ahahahahaahhahahahahah

[@charlieemoction]

Vabbè, ti amo 😂😂

[@skyscraper7474]

E perché smerdi solo tuo fratello?🤔😂

[@francescodarcangeli4197]

"Siamo contenti con poco" - un modo di dire italiano che non è semplicissimo da rendere.

[@serenity20001]

Best comment ever 😆😆😆

[@Prizzy999]

Last thing, Mike says that the longer he stays in the music business, the more he's aware that he still has a lot to learn about music & he doesn't know anything at all, & he still has to experiment a lot...Mike Patton is damn cool, I love Faith no More.

[@lovesthedark]

An acquaintance of mine uses this Italian phrase to describe Mr. Patton, so it's quite fitting here: "Tanta Roba!"

[@taddarita75]

Uno dei pochi artisti veri del rock (e non solo) contemporaneo.

[@marceloverdugo3954]

Es muy inteligente Mike....en Chile te amamos!!!!

[@gotcha1980]

Oh god is italian is perfect, like he was italian for real! Incredible

[@monicasatiro4071]

Quant'é figo sto uomo! Un gran bonazzo che poi parla l' italiano meglio di me!

[@TheyMadeMonsters]

Grew up listening to this and I've been inspired ever since to try and be as original. Absolutely amazing music that needs to be continuously heard !!!!

[@dyr234]

What I love about faith no more's music and attitude is that it's not a tag, genre or style. It's just fucking faith no more music and them doing their thing and damn is it good.

[@RickHeffe]

i was there!!! io c'ero!!! cheers from Italy!!! saluti dall'Italia!!!

[@psylabius]

la cosa inquietante è che parla molto meglio dei tre quarti dei calciatori italiani

[@jimbobb3509]

Is that because they’re, you know, burnt?

[@fromhell87ASR]

Un grandissimo 😂🤣😂😄 sempre un piacere vederlo e sopratutto sentirlo

[@dubbertrouble]

Grandissimo Mike! Your italian is near perfection, I want to speak english as well as you speak italian.

[@Sean-fv4wi]

"Speak Italian or die!"

[@pattonisgod26]

Geez..Already 8 years ago..Where does the time go? I miss Bungle, too:( xxx

[@Sean-fv4wi]

Well 12 years after your comment, thankfully we don't have to miss them anymore ;)

[@samanthaabbiati7986]

Funny, two americans speaking italian to each other with the same accent - almost the same... Patton's kniws how to roll his R way better than the interviewer, being a musician he definitely has a better ear for languages. Well done ;)

[@justhesame]

Amy Gulick No. That's Clive Griffiths, an english DJ.

[@justhesame]

Amy Gulick How can you say his accent is native? Are you italian?

[@justhesame]

Amy Gulick Hahaha! They both have got a bad accent in my opinion but, hey, let's leave it at that! Ciao

[@cyberbiscottato]

+Amy Gulick He has a clear english accent

[@meio4744]

+Samantha Abbiati Tutti due hanno un accento ottimo.

[@reezlaw]

I was there and I'm never gonna forget that night.

[@thevellocet]

When you though Patton couldn't get anymore talented...he throws out his Italian

[@canuckinbulgaria8893]

So what? You act like he's the only person that knows more than one language. It's not that difficult to learn most languages trust me, all you need is desire and patience

[@thevellocet]

@@canuckinbulgaria8893 then compare those people with a vocal style, range and talent such as Patton... I'll wait. Ps, calm down 👇

[@Yarina-]

anche tu sei indescrivibile Mike!

[@reezlaw]

Very good. My boss is Irish, he's been living here for the last 27 years and still no match! Mike really tries to sound like a real Italian, and to a certain degree, he succeeds.

[@yb32]

wow! mike is not only talented in music but language too. he kind of looks italian too

[@lyceeee]

he's cute when he speaks italian.

[@SophieCalifornia]

He's divorced. There's a video of him onstage with Faith No More at a festival speaking to the audience about what they've done in the 12 years during FNM split, before a performance of "Caffeine" and he asks the audience, "Is anyone divorced?" and he puts his hand up.

[@FetalMetalRicky82]

Mike ti adoro!!!!

[@basscovers-guitarcovers-my9597]

super mike !!

[@MartinfdeZ81]

Patton is God

[@HighwayNegative]

Has anyone got a time machine so I can attend this? :(

[@CiprianHanga]

Damn. I thought Mike couldn't get any cooler than he already is and dang! now he speaks italian! I'm in Italy myself for some 9 months now and I still mumble. As far as I'm concerned, I've come to the point where Mike could as well fart on the mic and I will still get extatic. That's why you'll never be as cool as him.

[@VividAbominations]

It is rumored that Patton speaks fluent Italian, Spanish, German, Russian, Portugese, and Jive.

[@Nordavind1709]

eccezionale Mike

[@harlock1973]

Un grande!

[@krikiki0405]

2:01 It's not Retrovertigo it's Air-Conditioned Nightmare!!!!

[@chiara65chiara65]

e' pure simpatico :)

[@naneanilau]

My sweet lord, he was sexy already, and now he speaks italian also????? My God, how much i love this man, every womans fantasy i guess...

[@boygalak]

im a celtic fan but i love mike patton

[@chrisxdeboy]

>Retrovertigo The song is Air Conditioned Nightmare.

[@lovesthedark]

That was bugging me too haha

[@LeahVorpalBunni]

He sounds hot as when he speaks Italian :)

[@dispersointerzona]

Mitico maestro Mike Patton...

[@Andre2010]

never knew patton knew italian wow

[@MsMalpractice]

ok. according to wikipedia he's divorced but is also hinting that they're still together. I read somewhere that she's credited as "Lady T" on several on his later records. The latest I've seen is on "peeping tom" from 2006. well. who knows... :-D

[@kurtisblow3000]

i wish bungle was still together.

[@alnicov2001]

Yes...since he lives here ;)

[@KillerDrummer88]

Great ;) He's Italian si so funny, what a huge man... anyway why does this vid call this song Retrovertigo, while it's The Air Conditioned Nightmare? :O weird

[@PeerGyntTheOnion]

AHAH ha un accento migliore dell'intervistatore!

[@disturbingthenoise7190]

Damn his italian is better than mine.... and i'm italian!

[@peepingjo]

Fuck me sideways! I think I need some alone time after watching that.

[@zebonaut]

Wow , what a mistake! It is INDEED! And the track in the background is "None of them knew they were robots". Gosh, i´m so glad i saw this show back then two times in Cologne and Karksruhe..maybe the only show i HAD to see twice during the same tour..apart fromT HE MUSICAL BOX ;))

[@dubbertrouble]

I'm pretty sure it's italian: his name is Carlo Massarini. Since the 70's he deals with good music, with interesting broadcasting here in Italy

[@Poppaea6]

uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu sexy!!!

[@nicolazuliani]

i was there.

[@keeelane]

@fra84bs wow, it's been ages i studied italian and i find out i can understand it!

[@papaotta8213]

wow, io c'ero

[@nicolagualandi2253]

@@combat186 boh, mi pare che faccia molto di più eh. Si, ha fatto dischi veramente oltre il limite, ma Mondo Cane, Sol Invictus dei FNM, ma anche alcune cose dei Fantomas sono vocalmente capolavori, poi possono non piacere.

[@DavidfromBA]

As someone who doesn't speak Italian, I'm curious: does he sound like a native speaker, or close to it?

[@vastasio]

not native, but very very good...almost native i would say

[@andreac.3282]

Mike speaks better than the interviewer.

[@stargazer7696]

Almost like a native, better than the interviewer

[@danielamartelli2592]

Very mild american accent. Congrats Mike!

[@kurtisblow3000]

it just sounds like it.

[@KillerDrummer88]

ha vissuto 7 anni a bologna

[@fra84bs]

@sarduspater01 yep!

[@mryellow123]

Trey and Mike aren't talking anymore are they? I've heard something happened between them but never the details...... Secret Chiefs 3 are still doing things :-D

[@mirjetagjika]

@fra84bs perfect translation ...:)

[@pachinko32]

SEEEEMPRRE.....

[@LeahVorpalBunni]

I think I may be going out on a limb here, but is there anyone on here who speaks Italian who can tell me what they're saying in the interview please?

[@robertotistarelli]

Che cos'è il genio....

[@DerHerrMitR]

00:07

[@MattiaGagliardi]

Ma parla in un italiano perfetto! Pazzesco!

[@anuskaleok]

he was married to an italian woman, they separated in 2001

[@RubyTwilite]

Didn't he live in Italy during his marriage? That aside, it makes sense that a person with genius level music and voice skills would also be able to learn languages really quickly.

[@MsMalpractice]

hum, where did you hear that rumour? I'm Just being worldwide curious :-)

[@halusky]

Same, coming from a straight man as well...for any native speakers out there, how's his accent?

[@everydayigetclosertothelig3992]

Ok funny answering after 12 years, his accent is quite good actually, better than most English speakers I've heard anyway, but it's not only that, his grammar is also very very correct which is not a usual thing among non Italian speakers (and Italians btw)

[@fra84bs]

He says that it's hard for him to describe mr.bungle's sound, people should buy their records to find out themselves, that they're happy about the new album, that they like playing many covers live, especially movie soundtrack themes, to add some spice to their shows cause after a while their songs become boring to them, that there's a lot to learn cause the more he spends time in music biz the more he realizes he knows nothing about music. his italian is better than my englis...lol

[@sublimistica]

i'll be in my bunk.

[@SpaceCadet1]

Subtitles please! :)

[@NinaEle5]

Intervistatore: "una domanda semplice semplice, descrivi il suono dei mr Bungle" Semplice?????? ma che ..... ???? Mike Patton: "fiuuuuuu questo è difficilissimo".

[@valentina7658]

Air Conditioned Nightmare!!!

[@ghostwhiskey]

at the start

[@inhha]

[@twinatoms]

[@fuckabledude]

@jarawatube the interviewer sounds american too

[@ghostwhiskey]

none of them knew they were robots

[@sarduspater01]

is two native english speaker talking in italian???

[@kurtisblow3000]

his wife is italian, I think that has something to do with it

[@kaliVAFFANDAY]

mike vive anche a bologna...è sposato con un'italiana

[@doomyman]

why does he know italian so well?

[@9HellbounD6]

He married an italian

[@Prizzy999]

The journalist is asking Mike to describe the sound of Mr. Bungle's latest album & Mike says that he can't describe it, people have to buy it & figure it out for themselves. Also, the journalist is asking why the set list covers 80 songs, why so many, & Mike says that he likes to always add to the set list as he thinks the audience might get fed up with hearing the same somgs over & over again.

[@olenmiikka]

LOLWAT he sung it in spanish in finland O__O

[@Fossick]

and Mayan...lol :P I keed

[@Blancasantino666]

Really??

[@alvareo92]

[@gspahr]

È ormai da un bel pezzo che si è divorziato. Resta da dire che il suo italiano è ottimo, l'interviewer parla peggio di lui.

[@15Surprise]

E'italiano..

[@residue102]

What the physical earth area? Are u some sorta hippie tree hugger?

[@Fossick]

because you're not a hardcore patton fan.

[@dargis49]
