@@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.)

[@jaznseedski]

I first heard them right when the first album came out. A friend asked me to check it out in his dorm room in college. Every time he tried to speak or turn it off I’d say “no, no, no, shush, shush!” I loved it so much. He eventually just let me borrow it. Got to see them on tours for each record. One of my all time most loved groups.

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 !!!

Great video, great band! For anyone that is into Mr. Bungle I would HIGHLY recommend that you check out the cult UK legends Cardiacs, I know Mike Patton is an enormous fan of theirs and I can hear their warped fusion of prog rock and punk as a massive influence on Mr Bungle. 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. Anyone who likes Mr. Bungle will love Cardiacs, you have my word on that!

Mr. Bungle is an acquired taste. I 🤍ed them the instant I heard the opening to "Quote Unquote." It took three play throughs of the self titled album to turn my old 90's best friends in the world onto it. Years afterward, one of them brought the California album to me the first time I heard it. ...By the time they revisited their metal roots with The Raging Wrath Of The Easter Bunny Demo, - Some of it is admittedly awesome, but this one (to me) doesn't blow every genre out of the water like the first three WB albums did. It 100% serves it's purpose though as an actual Metal Album. You get what you came to hear.

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.

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.

[@preachercaine]

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.

[@ShastaMC]

it wasnt fnm first album but 3rd album it was mikes first with em

[@preachercaine]

Yeah, I should have written his first FNM album. I've been around since the days of Chuck, I am that old.

Back in the 90’s when I was in high school, at parties I would put on Mr.Bungle and see how long it took for someone to say, “SHUT THIS FUCKING SHIT OFF!”. I don’t think I got through one whole song, once. That’s when I knew they were one of my favourite bands (if the majority of people DON’T something, that usually means it’s awesome).

Mr bungles music is my personality.

This was a great video! It's super cool to see a big channel talking about Mr. Bungle

[@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.

I LOVE Mr. Bungle so seeing a KZbinr talk about him is a dream come true!

[@MARKLUBINSKY]

How about Brian Eno?

[@LieLikesMusic]

Would love that someday. I'm puzzled which album/phase of his career i should focus on though.

[@MARKLUBINSKY]

My favorite albums are his early rock/pop ones. The period from 1973 thru 1982. These include "Here Come The Warm Jets", "Taking Tiger Mountain" and his work with Robert Fripp.

[@MARKLUBINSKY]

@@LieLikesMusic Sorry, I replied but it disappeared. I like his albums from 1973-83. These included his rock/ pop LP's, his first ambient works and his stuff with Robert Fripp.

[@HotStrange]

Mark Lubinsky I love Before and After Science as well.

[@ncpmellifluousanonymous1984]

agreed, but I must add Another Green World

[@Sixpakbee-lb3dm]

Do more on Mr Bungle!!! this video was awesome!

[@LieLikesMusic]

Maybe. I'm not too familiar with their two other records. But i'm listening to them now. So we'll see what comes up.

[@Sixpakbee-lb3dm]

Disco Volante is very different, and that was their 2nd album, so u can kinda hear some similarities from the first record. And as for California, its always been argued as their "best" album, and for me its definitely up there.

Nice video, I'm happy that with this video more people can get familiar wit my favourite band of all time. Congrats on finding rare pictures and facts. Just a couple of corrections: 1) Theo Lengyel (or Theobald Brooks Lengyel was the alto and sometimes bari tone saxophone player (as you can see by the picture), the keyboards on the title album was mostly played by Spruance and Patton, also I wouldn't categorize him as most prominent as he was fired after the second album, that's what Dunn said about him: "We unanimously decided to go on without him because he wasn't growing with the rest of the band and we were running out of things for him to do. He got pissed off and I haven't heard from him since. He didn't play any keyboards on the first record. I think he solely played alto saximaphone. " 2) You can't forget Bär McKinnon!! He was without doubt one of the most prominent members! He was the saxophone player and an important member of both Bungle and the early incarnation of Secret Chiefs 3 (spruance side project at the time and now his main band).

well done, I appreciate your digging into the tape archives. 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.

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.
