INFO: To say that Mr.Bungle is an eclectic album, is an understatement. Thanks to Mike Patton’s outstanding personality in the music business, both the band and the self-titled debut garnered a special place in the hearts of many cult-fans over the years. And for good reasons.The band tried to break boundaries musically and lyrically with the intention of creating something brand new and real. They walked their walk by creating whatever they felt was new and exciting. Even when facing the pressure of their big record label Warner Brothers, they chose to sing about sex, death, violence and everything in between and write music that is hard to pinpoint in terms of genre. But where did this freak-show of an album come from in the first place? Let’s take a closer look.

@@scotthandler3314 Nah hes right. Theres something to be said about some things being better off as unknown gems. When something becomes popular, the mainstream kills it. I have been a fan since the 1980s, and have been waiting for Trey and Mike to get over their shit and Bungle to reform. They finally do after decades and tickets are sold out literally in hours. That's frustrating for older fans that have been waiting while the rest of the world was jerking off to System of a Down and Korn

Mr. Bungle is such an important band to me. It was the band that truly opened me to the world of experimental music, and changed my life forever. I didn't hear about them until I was about 17, but before that I listened to stuff like Korn, Mushroomhead, and Slipknot. The funny thing about listening to those bands, is the fact that each one of them were EXTREMELY influenced by Mr. Bungle/Faith No More. Korn was a band called LAPD before Korn, and they were a funk/metal hybrid very reminiscent of Bungle. They even have a style of guitar playing they call the "bungle" chord for their more experimental songs. Mushroomhead, especially their earlier albums, is basically a heavier version of Faith No More Listen to their songs "Simpleton" or "The Wrist", for example. And if you listen to Slipknots first album Mate Kill Feed Repeat - it's basically a straight up Mr. Bungle ripoff. This band influenced my life before I even knew they existed, and everything came full circle.

[@LieLikesMusic]

That's kind of funny. I'll have to chekc them out now that you mentioned they're so similar. Never really been a Korn or Slipknot fan, so i couldn't tell how much they were influenced. I mainly thought it was the costumes and stuff. But that's from an outsider's perspective of course. I'm glad you liked this. And is there any band you'd like to see featured in the future btw?

[@Prololan]

oh man you need to check out mushroomhead if you like mr bungle and faith no more

[@forcetheedges]

I remember reading about the Mr. Bungle chord before I even heard Mr. Bungle. I think it was an interview with Korn in Hit Parader or Circus, or one of those magazines. (For the record, the Mr. Bungle chord is a tritone interval played on 2 strings - a diminished chord without the 3rd in the middle.)

One of my all time most loved groups.

I love that you mentioned John Zorn. Hes so important to so many experimental and forward-thinking music scenes.

mr. bungle changed my life ! All three albums they did are all very different, while still being mr. bungle ! Kinda like the ''conceptual continuity'' you can find in Frank Zappa's work... We can find evolution as well as coherence in direction. I've seen many shows in my life, and a lot of great ones, but that night at Montreal's Metropolis was way more than a show, it was a mystical experience !!! I interviewed random people in the crowd when the show was over, and I can say that every single person there that night came out of it changed ! It is very hard to find the right words, but if you are a lil'bit curious, you will get those albums : - mr. bungle; - Disco Volante; and - California !!!

[@aidanescalante7138]

Thank you for making this episode. Mr.Bungle holds a special place in my heart, this album in particular, and your description did it justice. My brother gave me this album when I was 12, I didn’t understand what I was listening to, but I never stopped listening to it. I’m 23 now and I feel like I still find new details with every listen. There will never be a band like Mr.Bungle. I met Mike and Trey at a Dead Cross/Secret Chiefs show in Austin, TX, both super nice guys. When someone asked Mike if there would be a Mr.Bungle reunion he said, “I won’t rule it out, it’s a possibility” Fingers crossed man.

[@aidanescalante7138]

Griff - yeah they were sick. I know Mike and trey had some beef but if they were touring with each other that beef must be squashed.

I seriously cannot recommend them enough and they don't get anywhere near enough credit for being as influential as they were to so many bands. Artists as diverse as Mike Patton, Blur, Stephen Wilson of Porcupine Tree and even Napalm Death have cited them as an influence.

[@wolveskriegfeuersturm1297]

Mr. Bungle are easily one of my favorite bands of all time, though I would cite Mike Patton as one of the greatest Musicians of all time, Mr. Bungle and Fantomas, in my opinion, illustrating Patton at his most Avantgarde, and as a collective, these Musical Groups offering some of the greatest, eclectic Music the world has never heard before. The man has done everything from Rap, Hardcore/Death Metal to Opera, R&B, Jazz, etc, etc. If there is a style of Music Patton has already incorporated it into his works, along that which itself is unclassified, such as Pranzo Oltranzista. Out of all vocalists Patton holds the official record for widest vocal range. Faith No More will always be Patton's most well known, this a mere drop in the bucket to the numerous super groups he has created. His record label home to amazing musicians who unfortunately go mostly overlooked. And though I have spent so much time complementing Mike Patton, the Musicians he works with so too are fantastic, many coming from established bands, such as Buzz Osborn from the Melvins and John Zorn, among, well, everyone else who he has cooperated with in any of his Musical undertakings, or Projects he himself is plays a key role within. When it comes to Mr. Bungle, including their unreleased Albums, I have a sweet tooth for California, though all Albums are solid.

[@LieLikesMusic]

Word! His vocal range, musical versatility and ability to pick interesting role models in music has helped him come a very long way. And luckily for us he's managed to deal with the fame in a very good way as well it seems. It's like his fame has fueled him to do even more projects and follow his gut feeling even more.

I'm a geezer. but has been a bungle fan since this album came out and my buddy Travis said to me, "you gotta hear this band man, they're fucken mental" way back when it came out and that moment changed my life. fart. farrrrrrt. perrrrrrt. perrrrrty good. yo! lol.

[@cassadams1514]

Wow I remember seeing your videos way earlier this year. Since then you’ve improved so much at making videos! I’ve been learning a ton from revisiting this channel.

Thanks for seeing that. I've really tried to change things up a bit. But there's still a lot of things that can get better with time. So stay tuned if you want to make the experience of rock music more meaningful.

What a debut album

[@LieLikesMusic]

It sure sets a whole new standard for experimental debuts.

[@HordaRural]

I don’t think its right to say that Theo was that important to the group or the first album at all. The main composers at the band were Spruance, Patton and Dunn. Heifeltz provided a very unique and speedy drum style and composed something here and there. And Barr Mckinnon the other multinstrumentist focused on horns composed some stuff and played a lot more at the concerts and recordings. As Mr Bungle was going foward, Theo wasn’t contributing much to the band to the point that at the Disco Volante tour he did almost nothing at the stage. Theo was kicked from Bungle before California and retired from music, no one knows where he is or what he is doing now. I hope you make a video about Disco Volante! Also, take a listen do Secret Chiefs 3, the Trey Spruance almost solo project. Its my favorite music band that is still playing and releasing amazing stuff.

In regards to FNM's first album; the music was written and Patton had very little time to write the vocals. But he did write them.

[@LieLikesMusic]

Thanks for mentioning that. I was thinking of the music mainly when saying that.

No problem. I felt it worth saying as some of his best lyrics are on that album and I'm not normally someone who gives a crap about lyrics.

[@thewisecritique8079]

Thank you very much for this video. It was brilliant and I believe that everyone should listen to this album at least once in their lifetime. I am a huge fan of Mr.Bungle - in the begging I was shocked by them, but with the time all make sense... exactly how you said it in the video. Great job.

[@LieLikesMusic]

Well i think you need to be a certain type of music fan to dig this music tbh. It's very eccentric music with all the genres, the complexity and vulgar lyrics. So i wouldn't suggest this to everyone. I'm glad my words resonated with how you feel about the band though. Many thanks for watching and sharing.

[@thewisecritique8079]

@@LieLikesMusic Hey, thanks for the answer. I'm sorry that I wasn't much more specific in my comment earlier. Yes, the album is quite eclectic, but I think that it was made in a intelligent way. John Zorn is a brilliant musician and the way how he managed to work with this guys, especially with Mike Patton (who himself is a extremely talented guy) and how he produced the album is beyond me. In a way it reminds me of Captain Beefheart's "Trout Mask Replica", but this one is more cheerful and maniac- like a delusion of a psychopath (Mr. Bungle). The album is vulgar, but I think so that in rap music the language isn't much more clean. And in a way the lyrics are like a mock up of the pop culture. Overall for me the album is like an "art" movie, where the protagonist is that disturbed person - Mr. Bungle. It's like watching a David Lynch's movie - you don't know what exactly is happening in it, but you kinda trust him. And the band is making few references to his "Blue Velvet". Not only Kyle's cry that you already mention in your video, but I think so in the song "My A** is on fire" Mike is repeating the line "Don't you f***ing look at me!" with the same mannerism that it was delivered by Dennis Hooper. So I think they've tried to make their first album like a sound trip in their protagonist's mind and world with a movie feeling. Even the other two albums are different from this one they kept that film look (at least in "California", because I didn't listen deeply to "Disco Volante"). Don't get me wrong I'm not saying that children or young people should listen to it. I think so you need to be in a certain age and maybe mental state to kinda understand it. I guess so what I was trying to say that this album should be "experienced" once in a lifetime in a way like once in a lifetime you'll probably watch a movie from David Lynch. It's not meaning that you'll like it or understand it, but it's like an art lesson, because I believe so that few musicians and maybe the whole "New metal" genre was inspired in a way by this album. If I need to be fair if someone is interested with the band they should listen first to "California", which is their more "normal" album so they can get the their feeling and then they can try to listen to "Mr. Bungle". I'm sorry that I wrote you a small essay in here, but I just wanted to be understand in a correct way and not like some person who likes weird music just for the sake of it. Maybe I'm putting much more meaning into an album that is probably only a comedy expression of a few musicians, but I see it in this way. Thank you again for your video and answer. I hope I didn't bored you to death. Have a nice day and keep making great videos.

If you like Bungle you should listen Cardiacs The man and the house album

[@LieLikesMusic]

I keep hearing that from Mr. Bungle fans. I'll make sure to give it a listen. Thanks

[@samiamiamsamsamiam]

Yes yes yes! I can not overstate how severely underrated Cardiacs are and how much they have changed my life. They’re the most passionate and creative band I’ve ever come across, no hyperbole. The main songwriter and frontman, Tim Smith, is currently suffers from dystonia, which severely impedes his movement, so Cardiacs need all the exposure they can get as they raise funds for Tim’s treatment. Check out their videos “seaside treats” and “all that glitters is a maresnest”. You’ll see very quickly that this is something very unique and important that inspired a lot of amazing bands, bungle included. Tim Smith is just as much of a musical genius as Patton, but his music somehow cuts even deeper than Patton.

[@samiamiamsamsamiam]

Lie Likes Music I’d also recommend sing to god instead of a little man. Many consider sing to god to be Cardiacs magnum opus and one of the best albums of all time.

I found Mr. Bungle years after being a huge, huge Faith No More fan - I popped in their self-debut CD, and when the opening track kicked in I was immediately hooked. I fell in love instantly. It's been one of my favorite records since.

[@LieLikesMusic]

Cool. I've never really been a fan of Faith No More. I had Angel Dust on cd but for some reason i never got into it. I guess i have a bigger taste for Patton's more experimental stuff (not that FNM wasn't experimental thesmelves but maybe not in the same way).
