[@freerangecitizen]

Lifelong bungle fan, if you did in fact pull this much out of one listen, cheers to you sir. You have a beautiful ear.

[@swamba1]

After band practice on August 13, 1991, we went to our singer's house because he got this album the 1st day it came out. We listened to the whole thing in complete amazement. I have never thought about music the same way again. 30 years later and no band has blown me away like them since.

[@undinism69]

For me it was fellow guitarist had John Zorn do it in 90 with naked city's torture garden. I remember just laughing in shock first play, by time Mr Bungle came out, I was right into anything "not normal" and had the ear and appreciation for music in the 90s to change me forever. Still love it.

[@johnplaysgames3120]

The first time I heard Mr. Bungle was when a friend and I saw them live at a small theater in our town (around the time of Faith No More's 'The Real Thing' album and not super long after the "Epic" video came out). We knew literally nothing about Bungle except that (1) Mike Patton wore a Mr. Bungle t-shirt in the "Epic" video and (2) we read somewhere that Mr. Bungle was his band from high school. That's it. Talk about culture shock! It was the weirdest, coolest, weirdest, most awesome, weirdest show I'd ever seen and, like you, I never thought about music the same way afterward. Also, partway through the last song of the night, the guitarist hit a chord in the song and the entire band froze in place while he let the chord ring and increasingly feedback on itself for - I kid you not - at least 10 or 15 minutes. At first, the crowd full of punks and metal kids were cheering at the band "doing something weird." After a minute or two, some people were still cheering but others were starting to get uncomfortable. A couple more minutes went by and those formerly cheering people started yelling "you suck!" and "fuck you!" And it just kept going and going and going as people got increasingly uncomfortable and irritated and angry. A few more minutes later, people started cheering again. Finally, a couple minutes after that, the guitarist (who was wearing a ruffle-shirted prom tux and no pants) fell over, most of the rest of the band left the stage, and Mike Patton dove through the center of the drum kit and just collapsed there in a jumble of drums and cymbals. And that was it. My friend and I just watched the whole thing wide-eyed and open-mouthed (looking back and forth between the band and the audience) and I remember thinking, "They transcended music and played the audience's emotions like instruments for their last 'song.'" I will never forget that show and, after that ending, not only did I never think of music the same way again, I never looked at art the same way again.

[@KyleS.1987]

It's like musical trolling. They play something super catchy and groovy for a few seconds, then hit you with something abrasive and ugly. And the ending is the ultimate test of the listener's patience and tolerance, with Mike just screaming 'redundant' again and again over the same riff.

[@collumjiggas]

I think the abrasive parts are very catchy and musically related to the groovy pieces. The reason you hear 'redundant' like that at the end is because the producers wanted 2 verses, the song was originally written to be half as long. The strange time signature changes make a single verse version less....musical.

[@breakdancinfool]

The musical strategy of Mr. Bungle is to keep the listener off balance. No matter how tonal or chaotic the composition, Mr. Bungle never allows you to get comfortable with a section. Its like a game of cat and mouse - the listener chasing more comfortable, familiar musical trends and Mr. Bungle challenging that contentness and pulling the rug out from under you. Sometimes they'll have a long, catchy, tonal section just to lull you into a falae sense of security. I believe Mr. Bungle is as much a commentary and challenge to what passes as popular music as it is a audial canvas for Mike and co. to paint expressively on.

To be honest, a whole series dedicated to any band Mike Patton has been involved in would suit me. Yeah, he’s had some bad ass musicians around him, but he brings the life into these projects.

"Carry Stress in the Jaw" is still one of my favorite Bungle tracks. I was listening to it at work the other day (with earbuds; I'm not a monster) when a co-worker asked me what I was listening to. I told him it was Mr. Bungle and asked if he'd ever heard of them. He hadn't. So I said, "Well... uh... hm... I guess you could call it noise jazz..." at which point he jumped in and said, "I like jazz." And I was like, "Well, okay, but now imagine that noise jazz and Slayer had a baby and then that baby played the musical score from a Bugs Bunny cartoon while simultaneously driving a truck through a minefield with Frank Zappa." I of course meant that as a very strong recommendation. Not sure if ever listened to them. He transferred to another department a couple weeks later.

I’m really stoked to see someone breaking some Bungle down. They and Faith No More are two of my all time favorite bands. I really recommend the song Ars Moriendi off of California. It ties like 6 different genres into one song with crazy tempo changes and somehow pulls it all together into a cohesive composition. It’s heavy and manic and just downright genius.

[@vomitthesoul4467]

Mr bungle is so good. You should do Dead Goon by them at some point

[@mdnghtrdio]

You’re such a genuine guy & love your analysis ❤️‍🔥🤘

[@egoshades]

You're reminding me of why I loved this music so much in my adolescence. Thank you

[@stuartbixby]

Trevor and Mike are geniuses! Pushed the boundaries of Metal.

[@gregorystigliano3910]

I love watching you experience Patton!

[@QatZnak3]

Saw these guys live back in 91. Such a wildly amazing concert. Stuck with me for the rest of my life.

[@jamiechmiel8003]

Yes!!! So happy to hear you reacting to this.

[@mistagogious]

I love this album so much. Pure insane genius. I love that it blew your mind just as it did mine the first time I heard. Listen to anything Mike Patton has done and it is impressive.

[@redmint4894]

oh fun, you've found mr. bungle =) enjoy this rabbit hole.

[@larseikind666]

Your facial expression and your mental commitment before you stopped the track the first time was priceless!

[@MAXAMILLIONMAN]

So glad you keep hitting up my favorite band from my favorite vocalist. I'm a pattonite for a reason please continue to dive into his wondrously weird and demently complicated vast catalogue

[@benjamint_0]

this album has influenced more artists, but not so much bands as a whole, than anything from the early 90s. i remember a hit parade article that asked the guitarist "guitarists from bands like limp buizkit, Korn, and nickleback have said your music influenced their style. what do you say to that?" ...dude said "what a fuckin insult." 🤣

[@DaytonaGrey-RS5]

Ever since he did Carousel, I was waiting for this song to be reviewed!

[@GazJam23]

Thank you for this Geebz. I listened to this album far too much in the late 90s. You're take on this is pretty much how I felt upon first hearing it.

[@pickthestickup]

Ah yes, that dense avantgarde experimental style of Mr. Bungle

[@beatnpotatoes]

Their first 3 albums are amazing. Each album are very different from each other. One of the most incredible bands I’ve ever seen live.

[@thasandman1122]

I still remember the moment when I learned that Mr. B could play this stuff live... Still amazed a person can remember an entire set of songs with all these parts!!

[@derekgesuelle1627]

I've only heard the latest one and it's nothing like that

[@billynair]

It's impressive to see people push past the "sound" to hear the musicianship. I thought Mr Bungle was fun to listen to until I went to a concert, and watching them recreate the songs live, on stage, I was blown away! So much talent! (including putting pick ups on a ski and play it like a guitar, just crazy)

[@theriverofgordon1470]

I love how it looks like his heart rate is going up at different points😂 Mr bungle is a wild ride. first time I ever heard a radio special all about Mr bungle on brave new waves cbc radio in 99 I knew I would be a huge fan. That was back in the day when I taped brave new waves periodically and I was quick to press record on that episode.

[@briandaniels5606]

So happy to see a good reactor actually tackle Patton and his creativity. This album is so beautifully put together... Carousel and now this..brings back so many cool memories. Thanks Key! More mainstream request but please dive into Faith No More Angel Dust.. Incredible album.

[@briandaniels5606]

@Xi Vonoc who's that?

[@theron8227]

Hahah great one dude. That last clip was from a 70's porno flick called Raw Footage. Glad you exploring them now!

[@cjdunn95]

Thanks for doing this, not many people would touch it. Love your channel.

[@sepsisbear3444]

everything about this video makes my heart smile , thank you so much.

[@bruth6138]

These guys are a riot live too! Great review as always!

[@jayadelman5705]

I'm always here for a mr bungle reaction..haha 👍

[@marcoestiercol6112]

I truly LOVE your Mr. Bungle's reactions. This music was part og my teenager years, a weird one but a beautiful one. Thanks!

[@ShaunButterley]

As soon as I saw Mr Bungle I HAD to click this immediately. I haven't clicked a video this quickly in a LONG time.

[@GoombahYah]

"Hitting the glass ceiling of a nightmare." What a great summary. Talking about.theater of the mind… back in the 90's I had the misfortune of falling asleep at a party with this song playing in the background. I had an extremely vivid nightmare about carefully slicing someone’s head like a loaf of bread.

[@anthonymartin6838]

I love what you do. This is so enjoyable. THANKYOU.

[@ThePuka]

The more bungle you consume the sweeter it tastes.

[@mflr121]

Watching your reaction to Mr Bungle songs makes my day. XD

[@K31R616]

I had a good chuckle at you breaking down your efforts to describe the song, only to resign and state that perhaps the "chop suey" of words would in fact be quite fitting as an attempt. Brilliant.

[@minglis]

Watching these guys live was amazing! Loved the reaction.

[@professoryaffle]

Oh man. This band. I saw them live at Rock City in Nottingham for the California tour. Just mind boggling live. Listen to it all dude. ALL OF IT.

[@arsmoriendi646]

couldn't click fast enough... thank you for doing more Mr. Bungle!!

[@billbill3915]

Next Bungle tune you should do is Goodbye Sober Day.

[@FilthTribeFTP]

Ahh man, it would've been priceless to see you react to the "music video" version along with the song, haha. This has always been one of my favo bungle songs, lots and LOTS of tri-tones in this song. Very dissonant...

[@WhammyLooper]

You're talking about synesthesia! :) Great video, Mr. Bungle are one of a kind (I recommend checking out their songs "Ars Moriendi" and "Platypus"). Thank you for this!

[@Jester1411]

mr bungle is just epic.....on first listen you are a bit confused about what you are hearing...but when you reach 50000 listens it really sticks in your mind

[@ellajorgi2478]

oh yeah, I haven't heard this particular song in a while, still remembered all the tempo changes and other schticks thanks to continuous listens a few years ago :D

[@ublej]

I think the album "California" shows off their talent the best. I'd recommend doing the whole album (track by track), or at least "Goodbye Sober Day"

[@Dreamspade1]

I have always loved this song. Glad you enjoyed!

[@mdnghtrdio]

Yes there is a Mr Bungle character, about a kid in class wearing the dunce cap in the corner. I believe there is a video ❤️‍🔥🤘

[@anthonymartin6838]

Man!! Mr bungle is one of my favourite bands ever. Talk about quality complex gritty misic with a crazy edge ya just don't find everywhere. AND Mike Patton .of course.their albums are all great.stoked ya goin there..THIS is the start...

[@rastapastrychief]

Love your reviews of this album, my favorite Bungle

[@tedsmith7814]

“Say stafe” 😂 Great reaction! So much to unpack, but where does one start? Thanks!

[@puhhhhh]

Ive always seen images when i play music but ive never thought to try to make music of an image. Definitely gonna try that out

[@awrogers3013]

It is very eye opening to hear them for the first time. I think someone said this about les rallies denudes. ..kind of like a door you would never know needed to exist….. These are the kind of discoveries that make it fun for me
