So what are some of Patton's best albums/bands? I havent listened to his stuff at all and I am definitely intrigued.
Anything really. All excellent, all different. Some more accessible than others.
Terry Bozzio was crazy. Dave Lombardo said it took him hours to learn a 30 second section, and he was the one who wrote the stuff. Bozzio was just reading the sheet music and playing it as he went.

I'm not a musician, but what's the big deal about this Bozzio guy reading sheet music? I thought that's what musicians do?
It's not the comprehension of it- it's the fact that the music is exceptionally complex, and he was playing it as he went, as opposed to having many hours of rehearsal.
Like dropping into Arsenal's team without training and instantly playing their style of complex passing- but on a much grander scale.

After I applied your nice analogy to Spurs, I got it. What song/album are you referring to, though?
That'd throw the analogy all out of goose.
It was a live Fantomas show, when Dave Lombardo was touring with Slayer: Bozzio stepped in to play while he was gone.
That's how I know he was reading the sheet music as he went- I was watching him do it.
