Mike Patton

Favoured/best incarnation? Explain or comment on choice.

General Patton Vs. The X-Ecutioners

Mr. Bungle for me.

Whilst Faith No More are one of my very favourite bands ever, undoubtedly the grandest of them all and most influential (probably ever), Mr. Bungle had all the uniqueness, talent and genius. Just in different ways. Ways not duplicate since or created before.

mr bungle for me...mainly because ive only heard pattons stuff while in FNM, mr bungle and fanotmas and out of those bungle strike the biggest chord in with my musical likes...

Probably because Bungle strike any chord there is, for the sake.

Just go around striking every chord.

true...true

and any band that can get the words "butter gutter" into a song deserve much kudos

Definitely Bungle.

A band that can combine that many genres, sound completely insane, write a song about Mr. Travolta, and be an enjoyable listen definitely goes in one of the top stops for me.

Hmm....I've only heard FNM, Mr. Bungle, and Fantomas...I'd have to say my vote goes to Mr. Bungle.

I think I'd go with Mr Bungle as well. It's a close call between all of Patton's incarnations for me though. One of the greatest musical minds ever.

Mr Bungle never quite clicked for me for some reason.

I'd definitely go with Faith No More, although Patton & Rahzel was ridiculously entertaining.

They are quite an esoteric band, I remember it taking a while to click for me as well. Could see the musical excellence, but wasn't clicking in terms of how it sounded to me.

Faith No More personally, I haven't listened to enough Mr. Bungle to truly enjoy it. It's interesting to listen to, and the band members are clearly very talented, but I get the feeling it's kind of an acquired taste.

They are.

But one of the very best you can acquire. Truly one of the very greatest genius bands to exist.

'92 era Faith no more for me always with Bungle second...
I totally concurr....
Unique magic in classes of their own.... Utterly unique.........

Our band cover 'Epic' and 'From out of nowhere', 'war pigs' and 'woodpecker from mars' and I would love to get 'Caffiene' or 'Jizzlobber' going.... We have also jammed on 'The girls of porn' from time to time....

Mike Patton spat on me and my friends tonight at the London Fantomas
Gig....!!!

We had previously though that we were not worthy to be spat on by this living god, but NO!!!

We were proved oh-so wrong...!! 😉

Quite almost improbably and bizarrely I bumped into AC there too....!!!
He may also have been on the recieving end of said flobbages too as he was standing nearby on both occasions....

You guys are lucky shits. I'm jealous of you both.

Faith No Mor because..... its Faith No More

Actually the best on-stage collection of musicians in the history of Earth.

Overall.

Agreed.. ✅

And Man... Bozzio amazed me.....

When you can just come in and fill in for a tour like that for Fantomas...
...Playing a faultless hour and 3/4 a night of their material...
...You have to be the greatest drummer alive.

....Holy shit.....

I feel very very lucky indeed to have seen Faith No More in 92, Bungle in 2000 and now Fantomas....

...Must catch Tomahawk next time....
