It takes a very open mind to make it through a Bungle song, let alone find some value or entertainment. It is so different, most people disregard on contact and miss the musical genius. Taste aside, if you break down this music technically, it is genius; I don't think that is debatable.
Patton is a busy genius. That dude has like 15 different projects as well as doing voice overs in video games and movies. My favorite vocalist of all time.
@@ParanormalStories It was Mr Bungle mate, That demo was Bungle as boys before anyone knew them, before they became who they are today; without that Demo we will not have had the Bungle albums.
I really like seeing him getting less and less shy in his vids. These moments where he’s obviously enjoying himself and having fun are why i watch his reactions more than most others. Much love bro. 200k here we COME🤘✊
The amount of other bands that Mr. Bungle inspired is off the charts. Everything they did at the time was new. Their sound, their style, their live shows. They were fucking nuts!
“It’s gettin’ dark!” Heh! Oh yeah. These guys are known for their demented music and amazing arrangements. They play this live exactly like this. They are truly top musicians-and the stuff they do is some of the most challenging music around. Glad you liked it!
This song is like 34 years old at this point. The world is just knowing about this band now?! I was rocking out to this band back in 89. The mainstream world misses out on alot of great shit
It's so surreal to me that reacting to Mr. Bungle has become the trendy thing to do this week. I bought this album on release day, and for decades, it was my own "dirty secret". A fantastic album that only I, well....others knew about it, but I was the only one who WANTED to know about it! And now it's everywhere! The band deserves the recognition, though. Dammit.
I posted on one of the other popular reaction channels recently where Mr. Bungle came up, that my initiation to this album was terrifying. Crashed at a friend's house with a group of high school buddies and one of them left it on all night on infinite repeat. I woke up several times to a dark and fairly unfamiliar house with this stuff as the soundtrack. We did that in early 1992. I've never been the same and have loved Bungle ever since!
@@Hammsamitch Funny how so many people think of it as a scary album! I mean, yes, if you take it seriously, it's pretty disturbing. But it's presented like a big fucking perverted joke, so I actually find it a hilarious listen from start to finish.
I love seeing them finally get recognition but at the same time completely relate to their music being my little secret. I named my dog Mr. Bungle and I've never met a person who gets where that name came from.
Very much along the lines of The Cheerful insanity of Giles, Giles and Frip. that was way back when records just started having grooves on both sides....
This is one of the first songs that got me into Mr. Bungle. These arrangements are intense and all over the place but beat is solid and the lyrics make you laugh lol.
It makes me so happy to see people finally enjoying Mr. Bungle. It was so ahead of its time, but the world is slowly getting insane enough to finally appreciate it.
@@lungfulldrummer8921 yeah "When Good Dogs Do Bad Things" pushes the boundaries. I'm surprised that putting MP in a studio with DEP didn't tear a hole in the fabric of reality
Loved your reaction. Bungle is an acquired taste as they say. I heard this for the first time when I was 15 in 1992. So weird that 25 years later I was gonna watch on a screen new young people reacting to this for the first time. We live in amazing and weird times. Thank you my dude.
@@randiwatches Same. About 10 years ago that album changed my life, as i became a fan of his and eventually studied almost all of what he's done. Which is a hell of a lot. Lol
@@kellybills2987 it's not my favorite Patton project but I respect it. I do love The Director's Cut Album. Spiderbaby and Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me are my faves
Finally getting to Mr. Bungle!!! Thank goodness. They have so many great songs that have different sounds but it's all greatness. Keep up the great work sir!
SO EXCITED to see this upload haha, I clicked immediately. amazing timing because I’m going to the Mr. Bungle show in SF tonight. I’ve been a fan of this band for years. Definitely check out more music from their self titled album, but maybe consider checking out their album “California”? It’s got a different vibe from self titled but it’s still very good, my personal fav album of theirs
The carnival sounds are samples from an old pinball game. "Hey You! With the face!" There was one at the place we played pinball when I was in highschool.
I like how during the first quickly-sung part, they snuck in the lyric “Will Warner Brothers put our record on the shelf?” but had the lyric “Look at me, I’m Sandra Dee” printed in the liner notes in its place. I’m guessing they were either wondering if Warner Brothers would release an album with so many explicit lyrics or one with such truly bizarre sound… or both!
They are playing nyc this weekend in 2 sold out shows. Faith No More is getting back together for a good bill in March. Start with Faith No More "Epic" then go for Mr Bungle for a first time listen.
Probably my favorite (and the most approachable) song on that album. Not sure why My Ass is On Fire gets recommended to people. I saw you reacted to it. Time to watch that. 😅
Killer reaction!! The carnival barker sounds are from a pinball machine called Hurricane from the 90’s. We used to own it and it was fun as hell! Mike Patton is so wide ranging and you should check out General Patton V.S. X-Ecutioners Joint Special Operations 🤙🏼
My best mate once described Mr. Bungle-who I first heard while on LSD…Imagine THAT…as ‘A weird montage of circus music, lounge jazz, surf music, and death metal.’ Yet somehow it WORKS, and what’s more, it’s AWESOME. I was so happy I discovered them when I did, because I was able to catch them live on the tour supporting their 1999 album, *California*. I definitely took two tabs of acid before that show. I danced my ass off. I was hysterical, and I had so much fun. I never grinned so widely for so long in my life. My mates said I thought I’d lost it permanently. They’re amazing.
"What in the shit?!" Not an uncommon first reaction. Mr. B requires multiple listens before you truly appreciate there is a method to the madness. Pretty soon you'll be singing along with every cat screeching, carnival barker, and "BLECHHH" in the song. California definitely more accessible, and it happens to be my favorite album of all time!
True. The very first time I ever heard Mr. Bungle was at a live show (I went because I was a fan of Faith No More, saw Patton's Mr. Bungle t-shirt in the Epic video, and read in some music mag that they were his band before FNM). I had no idea what kind of music they played before I went. Next thing I know, I'm standing in a theater watching Mike Patton singing the theme from "Welcome Back, Kotter" in spanish while wearing a bondage mask and gas station coveralls, the guitarist (iirc) wearing a Frankenstein mask, a frilly tuxedo jacket, and no pants, and I think somebody was dressed as a carrot. Then they started doing the songs from this album mixed with weird covers (a 1/4 speed version of Billy Squier's "The Stroke," for instance) and it blew my hair to the back of the room. I believe they finished the show by freezing in place for 15 full minutes while the guitar fed back and the audience went from cheering to laughing to complaining to yelling and then back to cheering again as the minutes wore on. That's when I realized that, for their final song of the show, they were playing the audience like an instrument. That experience forever changed the way I saw music, art, etc. At the end, the guitarist fell over, some of the band walked off the stage, and Mike Patton dove through the middle of the drum kit and I've never been the same. So, yeah, "what the shit?" is pretty appropriate. But fast-forward to today and I know every hit, note, scream, sample, barf, cough, shriek, horn line, etc. of pretty much every Mike Patton project from FNM and Bungle to "Adult Themes for Voice," Fantomas, Mondo Cane, his work with John Zorn, Bjork, Merzbow, etc, etc, etc. Dude is a certifiable genius. The rest of the band members (Trey Spruance, Trevor Dunn, etc) aren't too shabby either. Amazing, amazing band.
This is Mike Patton's band. He's well known for his work with faith no more but he's arguably FAR better with all of his other bands. Mr. Bungle, Tomahawk, The Fantomas, and Peeping Tom. Mr. Bungle and Tomahawk are my faves. Mike Patton is a genius lyricist, music composer and multi instrumentalist and he literally has the single broadest vocal range of any singer alive today. Not an opinion but a FACT. He's a freaking genius and my fave musical artist of ALL TIME.
@@OGT4204 I do as well with an absolute passion. As a matter of personal opinion though, I think being in his own bands gives him a lot more freedom to experiment. Which appeals to me. I adore anything he is in though.
I get such a kick out of watching you move to the music. The little shoulder-dance cracks me up. And your vision of cannibalistic zombie clowns would, I think, make Mikey Patton happy. I had the same impression the first time I heard this record-- and I was on LSD, lol.
I can't read their song list because it takes so long being interupted by rolling on the floor holding my gut wondering am I crying in pain or laughing hysterically? It's very tiring... I need a nap from thinking about it.
Lmao i love your reaction to this. Everytime you get back in the rhythm you stop and something random in the song that throws you off. Haha! This band was my shit growing up and still is. Slowly Growing Deaf by them is a great song.
Loved your reaction to this, Mr B are one of my long time favourite bands. Stubb (a dub) off the same album is something I would love to see you react to!
this album is amazing. music makes everyone feel good, sad, happy etc. how many songs are just fun like this? this is such a good time! crazy psychotic. I so love this entire album.
