And this is Mike Patton’s high school band...

Love Mike Patton and everything he does. Goodbye Sober Day is one of my favorites by Mr Bungle

They are actually currently together. They just did I short tour, and I believe they (the remaining members) are currently in the process of rerecording one of their old demos

This came out on August 13, 1991, I can still remember sitting on my singer's (at the time) couch on that day after practice and listening to this for the first time. From the moment I heard this, it changed everything about music for me. I have never been blown away by a band like that since. Great reaction you nailed it! I wish I could hear them for the first time again.

always loved everything that Mike Patton did - love his experimental art - but of everything he has done - there is no denying for me that the Mr Bungle three album catalog will always remain the crown jewel.

This is the first "reaction video" to a Bungle track I've seen where it's clear the reviewer outright appreciates well played, produced, written, etc. music, regardless of the genres they personally like. Well done. Bungle isn't for everyone, but there is no denying their talent. Been a fan of theirs since the early '90's.

More Mr Bungle please, I will watch them all... Any song, doesn't matter.

In my opinion, Carry Stress in the Jaw is Mr. Bungle's most interesting track.

When I see the words "composer reaction" the first mr. Bungle song i think of to react to is Pink Cigarette

The whole album is full of gems like this! The album is from 1991 btw Maybe you should check out 'Dead Goon' by them, same album and to me its the highlight of the album. Great video!

thats Mike Patton singing, pre Faith No More. way before their time. the 3 albums are drastically different. its best to absorb the whole album self titled is a deliberately abrasive ska.funk.metal, blender disaster. total genius discovolante is more avant jazz, metal, with moments of thrash and electronic, some dark folk sounds California is a Bungle version of Pop. some wonderful vocal work. you really should do "Carry Stress in the Jaw", i think you'd love it. then something from California, Ars Moriendi is my fave. i wouldnt write them off totally, the band recently reformed to do a show featuring their more punk metal stuff pre self titled album "the raging wrath of the easter bunny" with guest musicians Dave Lombardo(Slayer) & Scott Ian (Anthrax) if you like Bungle & specifically Mike Patton, he features in these bands: Faith No More Loveage Tomahawk Peeping Tom Fantomas Dead Cross Mondo Cane Patton/Kaada General Patton vs Executioners various solo/collabs you can track down inc. John Zorn, Bjork, Book of Knots, many more... he did film scores & soundtracks for: Crank 2 - High Voltage A Perfect place A place Beyond the Pines Bunraku

You should listen to Directors Cut by one of Mike Pattons other projects called Fantomas. It's basically a covers album,but not like any other covers album ever made. I played it to a music teacher once and he thought it was a dozen different bands on the album.

Yay! My request came through! Thanks, Brian! That whole Mr Bungle album is great! 'Carousel' is about riding on a carousel, just like 'Egg' is about an egg hatching, etc.

Do ANYTHING from "California".

Just saw Mr Bungle at Sick New World in Vegas. They're so incredible. I love them, and Patton will live on in whispered fables, hushed tones spoken only by those with the most eccentric of tastes.

I love Mr. Bungle, wish it had been something off of California though. That's a top three album of all time for me, near perfect album. Please check out Ars Moriendi or Goodbye Sober Day! Thanks!

Mr Bungle is probably one of the most creative and unique acts that I have witnessed, Carousel sounds even tame compared to other titles. Great video!

Mr. Bungle aren't around anymore but they Did have a sold-out reunion show earlier this year featuring Scott Ian from Anthrax on guitar & Dave Lombardo from Slayer on Drums. I'd definitely recommend listening to 'Squeeze Me Macaroni' off of the same album, it's my personal favorite song of theirs (super funky & quirky). Their later work is more "accessible" so you might wanna check those out for contrast. Also do yourself a favor and check out the bands Nuclear Rabbit & Screaming Headless Torsos, they have a similar Avant-Garde/Funk Rock sound from around the same era, I'd even lump Primus into this category lol (I always listen to all 4 of them together). Nuclear Rabbit's bassist Jean Baudin is rad & plays on an 11-string.

I sometimes wish I could listen to Mr. Bungle for the very first time again. The first song I heard was Quote Unquote and I was absolutely blown away and that continued as I started discovering more of their song's.

Is it me... Or this guy kinda looks like General Mike Patton?

The "carnival" samples were taken from the pinball game Cyclone I think

Korn was heavily influenced by this Mr. Bungle album. They listened to the album and said "This is our sound!" and that's exactly what they did. They even call some of their trademark chords "Mr. Bungle chord" :)

I hope this video is just a beginning of your journey into a beautiful world of Mike Patton's music! He's an outstanding vocalist and songwriter, who loves experimenting and novelty in music, just like you do. My personal recommendations would be: Faith No More - Just A Man Mr. Bungle - Goodbye Sober Day Lovage - Anger Management Peeping Tom - We're Not Alone

Best Patton bands that aren't faith no more, Bungle, Peeping Tom, Lovage, Tomahawk, Gen.Patton vs the Xecutioners. The man is a workhorse, and one of the best singers of any genre.

Mr. Bungle was one of those bands that I discovered by accident, I love their music a lot!! You should try "Ars Moriendi" one of their finest tracks

Eplore "Naked City" and other John Zorn projects

This album was one of my absolute favourites in my early teens in the early 90s (still is), and I so envy you this first listen - especially that you have so much knowledge to inform your response. It was an absolute joy to see you discover and appreciate it. :D

They started again with the old drummer of Slayer and the guitarplayer of Anthrax doing their first Ep's over. Together with the magical trio Trey Spruance (guiter, composer), Mike Patton (voice, synths) and Trevor Dunn (versetile bassplayer). The keyboardplayer Bär is Australian so hasn't joined them yet .... fingers crossed

They are back together with the old slayer drummer and the guitarist from anthrax

This is Mike Patton from Faith No More? I had no clue.

I love your open mind, most people freak when they hear Mr Bungle for the first time.

You can't beat Mr. Bungle. This is my favorite album by them for sure.

This album completely changed my outlook on music!!!! From being just a simple metalhead, Patton's many projects opened up my mind to so many different styles, jazz, funk, instrumental, jewish, even some hip hop and of course more jazzzzz!!🤘😀

I thought this was a thumbnail of Mike Patton lol

The Mars Volta is almost as unpredictable.

Mr Bungle Self title album came out in 1991, 1 year before Angel Dust by Faith No More.

They reformed and re-recorded their first demo, which was the unofficial first "death metal" release. Now they have Dave Lombardo on Drums from Slayer, and Scott Ian on 2nd Guitar from Anthrax.

I've had the opportunity to see Mr. Bungle a bunch of times and they never disappoint. Great live and can definitely reproduce album type quality.

First time I heard about Mr Bungle, I was a big Faith No More fan (Hell, I was 12 or something) and was discovering about Patton's projects. I've been able to grab Disco Volante in a used CD store. Ma Meeshka Mow Skwoz instantly caught me. Man, that's as experimental as you can go. Totally jaw dropping for me. I've been caught totally off guard at this time, but Mr Bungle grew and grew on me to nearly overcome Faith No More. Personnally, I'd suggest you to give a try to, at the very least : Ma Meeshka Mow Skwoz, Quote Unquote, Retrovertigo (one of their most commercial and straight forward one though), Ars Moriendi and Carry Stress In The Jaw.

Came across your channel today because of Bungle. As a composer/musician myself and the FNM tattoo on my arm in my profile picture, Mike Patton is an absolute genius. I heard this album about 30 years ago and its been super fun watching new people react to it. This album is my "only 1 cd to have" if I get stranded bymyself somewhere. Mr. Bungle actually released a new song last week called USA. Exploited cover.

When this album came out, a guy at the music store I went to told me to check it out. “Circus metal” was his comment, which had me very interested. Bought the CD immediately after hearing 1 song and the whole thing is grease paint and cotton candy gold.

Awesome reaction!!! I'm hoping you do several songs off of this album!

Mr Bungle and Primus are the 2 bands from my adolescence that i can't describe other than "it's just Mr Bungle/Primus," they defy generalizations

Check out basically anything with Patton's or Zorn's name on it, as well as the Tzadik lable, Melt Banana, Praxis, Bill Laswell; and maybe use Discogs to crossreference other projects. I think you'll be surprised with some amazing music that flew under your radar. They all got me through HS in the '90's

For some amazing avante garde music I highly recommend the band Bent Knee. Terror Bird is a great place to start. I really think you'd like them. Their vocalist is incredible and their live performances are out of this world.

DO PLATYPUS!! also by mr bungle

In terms of revolutionary, Mike Patton's Mr.Bungle, his Fantomas is right up there with Naked City. All early nineties, all absolutely jawdropping stuff. All hugely influential. As always a very thoughtful review. Much appreciated.

Mr Bungle are back. Bungle is Trey, Trevor and Mike. They have now re recorded their first demo Raging Wrath of the Easter Bunny along with Scott Ian of Anthrax and Dave Lombardo of Slayer fame.

They are back together...which many of us never thought would happen - Scott Ian and Dave Lombardo are currently playing and recording with them. If you ever do another of their songs I highly suggest Squeeze me Macaroni or My Ass is on Fire :)

Bungles self titled album was made in 1991 but they made most songs since 1985 to 1991. This song wasnt made in the late 90s lol

To the Bungle-fans reading this who haven't hear 'Umlaut', go listen to them, go...

Mr. BUngle is back together and put out a new rendition of their 1st album which came out in '86 ish

Mr.bungle is a legendary influential avent garden rock/metal band along the ranks of frank zappa. They influced many mordern bands we know like korn/ slipknot etc the singer of mr.bungle is also in a other legendary influential band called Faith No More they are also experimental rock/metal but a more catchy simple version they influced the whole nu metal scene. Both bands are a force to be wrecken with but they just show how influential mike patton is. If you like werid experimental stuff i highly recommend mr.bungle and mike pattons other band Fantomas. Tracks from fantomas album suspended animations that album has so many small songs that range from 1 minute to 30 seconds. Also mr.bungle second album has been known by many fans to be their most experimental and metal album lol. Their first album is their most funky/cirus upbeat music/raw attitude. Its fair to say all mrbungle 3 albums hold their own identity and signature sound. :) Jam to Carry stress in a jar from bungle second album. Then jam to pink cigarette from their 3rd. It will show you how diverse they are lol

Yeah Mr. Bungle is superfun! Also check the song "Stubb (A Dub)" from the same album, and read the lyrics too, it's great fun!

I thought it was Mike Patton reacting in the thumbnail

Glad you found it interesting. I echo others on checking out their song Goodbye Sober Day from their third album since you liked the changeups in this. You hit the nail on the head as far as them being more an avant garde group. oooooh, maybe better than GSD is also one of theirs that is quite in a different direction from the metal/horns mix is Desert Search for Techno Allah.

They have 3 albums on WB this is from the first the next album Disco Volante is very Sinister Avant jazz. The 3rd California is late sixties wall of sound type of stuff

A lot of those carnival samples are taken from a pinball machine I used to play as a kid. Crazy to think it was that long ago.. patton really is genius. There aren't enough bungle reactions anywhere, let alone FNM, dillinger etc..

Mike Patton is a true musical genius. That gets thrown around a lot, but in this case its true. Here is a curve ball from another stage in his career Tomahawk - Captain Midnight

Patton did all the zombie voice overs for video game Left 4 Dead and the freaks in I Am Legend. He did a bunch of other voice overs for video games I just can't remember what they are. Dude has a pretty large background and his vocal range has been amazing throughout the years

Oh, timing... a lot of this was written in the late 80s and early 90s. They just didn't get a formal album produced until after Mike Patton's work in Faith No More got them the chance since he refused to stop being in Mr. Bungle at the same time.

Did you any guys listen to the new album? What a trip 😂. I am so happy for the very few who knows this gem (band).

It's been over 15 years and I still get chills listening to Mr. Bungle's debut album. The thrill has never gone and hopefully never will. ^_^

BTBAM are actually big fans of Mr. Bungle.

their doing reunion shows....playing stuff of their album ' raging rath of the easter bunny ' .... its like death metal. They're making a new record :)

I've not delved super far into Mr. Bungle, but I've heard their album California, which I think is one of their more commercially successful albums? And that album I've listened to front to back many times, super catchy, and still super weird. Anything from that album would be sweet to see on your channel! Thanks for the reaction!

I love Mr Bungle! I'm glad you liked them. Check out the album Hephaestus by the band Iceburn. A phenomenal blend of metal, jazz, improv, and a touch of classical. 4 songs, each of them roughly 20 minutes each, that all flow in to each other seemlessly. They are all great, but Flyswatter is my favorite.

Something about this song brings to mind Danny Elfman!🤗 You oughta listen to their song Retrovertigo. You might enjoy listening to Mike Patton's previous band Faith No More ( they've done a lot of good stuff).

Mr. Bungle is a fucking gem. Warner Fucking Brothers actually represented them. Times were different in the 90's. They actually just released a punk track a little bit ago, called USA. It's fun. Check it out. mrbungle.bandcamp.com/

At first I thought you should have chosen 20 other songs instead of this, but now I think this is a perfect introduction. You're going to LOVE the rest of their shit.

I agree with the Dog Fashion Disco - Vertigo Motel, its fantastic

Like the review! Believe it or not back when this album came out there were not as many classified genres as there are today. When you went into a music store. You would only find them under punk/alternative.

The last concert I went to in 2020 was the Mr Bungle reunion in SF back in Feb.

All you patton lovers out there, Mr Bungle is a collective effort, its not a PATTON BAND, they would all write song for the band; I'm a Patton fan too, but cant really stand when they talk about Mr Bungle as if it was PATTON'S BAND and start talking how much of a genius he is when refering to Mr Bungle. Know your facts people; just look at the comment section.

Please check out Lye By Mistake! Their album Fea Jur is absolutely incredible, and every song off the album is epic and filled with a landscape of sounds, time changes, and everything else you could never imagine. It’s like instrumental Mr Bungle on crack!

No dude, they made this album in 1990. They were 17 when they wrote this album.

"Start to finish, I didn't have any idea where we were going to go..." This is a summary of their first 2 albums, if you could summarize them.

FYI, the 8 bit jingle at the end is the inning transition music from NES RBI Baseball 3

Mr. Bungle just got back together. Working on a new record which is actually a re-recording if their first demo which was never professionally recorded and released.

They were 16 years old when they started.....maybee 1987 if I remember.Musical geniuses!And Mike Patton best vocal in the world!

fucking sick and mr bungle actually just reunited! they released a new single recently

Yes! You reviewed them!

Mr. Bungles's carry stress in the jaw. DO IT. You won't regret it.

Lol the first postive react to mr bungle on youtube. You have to do haken's the architect

recording process was probably very fun )) Patton is a guy, probably with biggest attitude in music

Great take. Watching for more!

Disco Volante was my introduction to Mr Bungle. That album from beginning to end is a trip!

Early 90s dude. I loved your initial thoughts. Very interesting perspective.

If you liked this, highly recommend Dog Fashion Disco. Heavily inspired by Mr Bungle. Acid Memoirs or Skeleton Horse would be personal suggestion for songs.

Trevor Dunn is a musical genus. Mike Patton is Mike Patton. Bungle changes genres like other bands change chords.

Now let's have you listen to some Cardiacs

This album has a lot of jazz feel in part because it was produced by John Zorn. If anything, the second album is even more chaotic. The third album is considered more commercial, but that's only relative to the first two. None of Them Knew They Were Robots, for example, is a wonderful blend of many genres and one of my favorite songs of all time.

I would love for you to react to 'Stubb A Dub' and ' My Ass Is On Fire' by Mr.Bungle please

Hey mate love your work! You should consider Ars Moriendi and Goodbye Sober Day for the future.

Dear Bryan, for the next "rare requests" sessions I suggest Italy's much overseen new Prog Rock masters 'Barock Project' with their song "Coffee in Neukölln" from 2012. I'm SURE you're gonna like it. Lots of classical compositional element, rock, layering... anything you fancy!!! Look forward to your video ;) Cheers from Germany!

Maybe nice to check out Estradasphere ... musicians from that band often work together with Trey Spruance in the project called 'Secret Chiefs 3'

Wow! Absolutely fantastic reaction to a first listen. You're obviously a very talented composer because you totally nailed it in every way.

Bro! This album is from '91. Their last album is from '98. Except for a new one which features nothing Mr. Bunglish.

I LOVE your reaction bro. Mr. Bungle normally "spins" people out. I was a teenager when this came out......STILL love it!

I'd recommend you react to the song Gong by Icelandic band Sigur Ros, they're phenomenal. I really appreciate that you keep comments concise and flowing while the music is playing, saving longer trains of thoughts for after the song is over! Other reaction channels should take note how it's done. Can't stand when the music is paused repeatedly.
