Mike Patton

Mr. Wrong said:Getting back to the main point here—out of all of Patton's projects, I’ve really only stuck with Tomahawk, and honestly, that was strictly because of Duane Denison. Even then, they never quite clicked for me...

like Carter USM - A Perfect Day to Drop the Bomb

You absolutely have to dive into Mr. Bungle... all three albums... then you'll see what I mean.😉

There we go, I was just listening to them when I stumbled onto this thread.
I am a massive fan of absolutely everything Mike Patton touches.😁

For example, check out Mr. Bungle’s Ars Moriendi.😁

Yeah... I've got maybe 20 or so Tomahawk MP3s floating around, plus a couple of Peeping Tom tracks or something...

p.s. I also have this old recording from a Fantomas show in Vienna—about two hours of it—featuring all those hilarious facial expressions from Mike Patton. It’s gold...

👍

I'm a massive fan of pretty much everything Patton touches.😁

For example, Mr Bungle - Retrovertigo😁

Yeeah... well, Brandon, you should've mentioned you were digging this stuff earlier.😁...

Mr Bungle kicks ass...
Man, I would give anything to see them live right about now.😉...

There’s also that one project he did with Dan the Automator, though the name escapes me right now.

Ugh! It’s coming back to me in bits and pieces. I think it was called Fanomage, Fantomage, Santomage, Manomage... something ending in "-mage".

Savatage.

Lovaga. I mean, Savatage is just some mediocre, poseur heavy metal band if you ask me.

It actually threw me for a loop seeing Mike Patton in a metal outfit like Lovaga.
It felt almost like a parody of Portishead, but honestly? It was damn good.

heaven in a single room😍

hours of pure love

god, I love you

yeah, Lovaga.

It’s honestly pretty decent

..though it would be nice if someone actually included a link in the thread since we're already

..there should at least be a link in the thread since we're already...

I honestly wish they had some chemistry in that video. Ever since I heard Lovaga, I can't stop thinking about them together...😁

Attaching Peeping Tom - Mojo. 😍

I highly doubt you're going to enjoy watching him moping around in music videos like that.

pity for my tears

alone

plus there's 1 cover
😍

Sometimes I just find myself looking back at his whole body of work and how much he shifts depending on which band he’s playing in. It’s wild how much he changes things up.

Take tonight, for example...
Mr Bungle - Retrovertigo

"Now I'm finding truth is a ruin...
Nauseous end that nobody is pursuing..." 🙂

I honestly couldn't believe myself last night. I started out just mesmerized by the sheer phenomenon of his vocals, and before I knew it, it was 4:00 AM and I was still down the rabbit hole watching this man work. He’s just completely out of this world. 🤣 An absolute genius. 😍
In case you haven't stumbled upon this yet, it doesn't sound half bad—it actually comes out of the Ipecac label, and if I recall correctly, it's a relatively recent release.
Alain Johannes trio - Luna a sol (feat. Mike Patton)

Alain Johannes trio - Luna a sol (feat. Mike Patton)

Yeah, the track is fantastic, though if I'm being honest, I'd argue its greatness stems more from Johannes than from Patton. 😉

He never fails to deliver. He’s absolutely killing it in Dead Cross.

Noah Hall98 said:Is the song actually great? I mean, sure, it’s fantastic. But if you really want my two cents, I’d argue its brilliance comes more from John than from Patton. 😉

Patton might be taking a backseat here, I'll give you that. But even so, I'm still convinced his influence left its mark on the final product. 🙂
Well, when you tell me that John is actually any good, I find myself being much more willing to listen to your other recommendations too! 😉
