Mr. Bungle

Very rarely is it that I start threads about 'omg, dis bnd is so wckd uv gtta here vem' but I'm genuinely intrigued as to how many people have heard of Mr. Bungle.

They're quite old - to put some perspective on it, their vocalist, Mike Patton, left them to be the vocalist of Faith No More just before FNM hit the big time so we're talking late 80's early 90's. He continued to work with Bungle making some of the strangest and most eccentric music I've ever heard. Their self-titled album, which in my opinion is the best, is like a circus metal fusion. A bit like System of a Down but with more brass section. It's utterly fantastic. I highly suggest you download some.

    I've heard of them *feels special*.

    I've heard, er, one song. Merry Go Bye Bye :yes:.

    It was very weird, to say the least.

    Merry Go Bye Bye is a great song. Not off the self-titled album though but still a cracking tune.

    I've heard of them.

    They do great Mario Bros and Tetris remixes.

    If you have to download one song, get The Girls Of Porn. A very apt song seeing as the band was named after a character in a porn film.

    Amazing band. Shows more of Pattons great vocal ranges.

    Don't particularly like Mr Bungle although I think Mike Patton is amazing. I think I saw them live once a few years ago.

    Much prefer Faith No More.

    I only remember them from a time when I'd go round this guy's house to smoke and mr bungle would usually be on. Very odd stuff, haven't heard since though.

    The bassist is the best musician in the band. He was classically jazz-trained but managed to be completely awesome for Bungle.
