@@kc037 That song is also one of the more straightforward songs on the album compositionally (even moreso than this track really, maybe the most straightforward on the album, it’s mostly just a funk rock song), and based on his reaction to this I bet he’d dig it too. Almost every other track on this album is significantly more disjointed and wild. Seeing him react to something like Egg or My Ass Is On Fire or Dead Goon would be a real trip.
I enjoyed disco volantes' album alot. Or the songs pink cigarette, retrovertigo and airconditoned nightmare. Not to mention faith no more in general! Edit: almost forgot about goodbye sober day! Edit: they keep popping into my head lol, squeeze me macaroni!
Trey Spruance is mine! Insane shredder, wrote a good chunk of the bungle material, and his side project Secret Chiefs is on another planet even compared to bungle. I love Patton too of course:) sometimes I feel his celebrity overshadows the other very talented members though
There is no more twisted a hole to fall than MR Bungle. Check out their songs from their 2nd Album, Carry Stress in the Jaw & Desert search for techno Allah!
Mike is a very strange instrument to restrict him to a vocalist is also way to restrictive ...maybe a vocalists singer synthesiser creator of sound ! Lol
Haha I feel like mr bungle is having a revival with the newer generation^^ 16 and mr bungle’s literally my favourite band of all time lmao, Mike Patton is a god
When you consider that most of the band were still in their teens when they wrote this, it really emphasises just how amazing they are as musicians and composers.
Mike Patton is a musical genius. Not up for debate. Check out Pink Cigarette from Mr Bungle. Evidence, A Small Victory, Last Cup of Sorrow, from Faith No More. God Hates A Coward from Tomahawk. Neighborhood Spaceman, 5 seconds from Peeping Tom. His Italian project, Mondo Cane. Or Fantômas which is an experimental band where some albums are all “noise” vocals and more about creating an atmosphere than traditional songs. All Mike Patton groups. Patton is an ultimate talent. Great song choices too, so many channels are picking the same stuff or lame choices but you are hitting up some great songs
@@TheDreamseethe usually agree. I have a buddy that tries to force Bungle on others and it never ends well. It requires a patient, gradual exposure. If you do have a newbie listen to a whole album, it should probably be California. However, this brother knows Boingo and I'm sure he's been exposed to some out there tunes.
I’m a huge Mike Patton fan and it took me to become an adult to appreciate Disco Volante. I was in HS when that album came out and had no clue what Mike was doing. But now, I get it. Love that album.
In my experience, those who have been receptive to exposure to bungle have been people who were in band in high school - they don’t get too thrown off by the weird time signatures and complex compositions.
Back in those days, at least in the magazines I used to read, there was this basket called "funk metal" where they threw everything that was undefinable by the standards of the time and that had the minimum amount of vaguely "danceable" or "groovy" vibe. Living colour, faith no more, bang tango, RHCP... All were labeled as funk metal back then
John Zorn produced that first album. It's John Zorn who influenced Mr. Bungle to sound like that. And they play LIVE as tight as they are on record. I saw the tour for this album with Grotus opening. It was astonishing to see them play live. So very impressive.
I know a lot of people say California is their best album, but this album is by far my favorite and i would highly recommend either Squeeze me macaroni or Quote unquote
"Ars Moriendi" from Bungle was always the one crossover song to end all crossover for me. Theres classic in there, metal, techno, gypsy hip hop, pop...like everything. Sounds like a jumbled mess the first time you go through , and then, on the second and third listen slowly transform itself into an proper written song. Just incredible work of art from people who have clearly mastered everything when it comes to music. Doesent matter which genre. Just mindblowing.
To me its their ultimate final boss. If you love that, you love Mr. Bungle. It's a monster no one can ever create, Igorrr's whole discography feels like that one song.
"Travolta" same album. Or "Stubb. Or "My Ass is on Fire." Hell, the whole album is phenomenal.I dont think they have a genre. Unless Mr. Bungle is a genre. I saw them live in a bowling alley in Omaha. You deserve a cup of coffee. Thanks.
Look up Mike Patton- he’s the vocalist, best known for Faith No More but he’s been involved in tonnes of bands / projects, lots of interesting and weird stuff, mixing genres and styles- and as you can tell on this, he brings a lot of diversity with his voice
also has done a good bit of voice acting in video games and movies. the zombies for the left 4 dead games, the Darkness and the zombies from I am legend to name a few.
Yeah definitely this. I really like Sweet Charity or Pink Cigarette from California. The whole album is more accessible than their other stuff but in a really good way.
They originally started as a thrash- metal band from highschool to young adult, then switched gears to more Zappa, Capt. Beefheart, Residents influence along with metal, thrash, ska, jazz, etc. Lead singer Mike Patton went on to take over vocals and push Faith No More into the mainstream, nu-metal, etc. Mr. Bungle is back with an adjusted lineup: original vocalist, lead guitar and bass player but added Dave Lombardo (Slayer) on drums and Scott Ian (Anthrax) on rhythm guitar. But they're not doing this style, it's all thrash metal redoing Mr. Bungle's first ever cassette demo which never was release officially, until now.
@@airfixx_8952 Totally. I heard they play My Ass is On Fire again live. No horns or keyboard (maybe piped in?), but yeah...I'm totally all in if they keep going through to the next demo cassette (OU818) and release that officially.
@@ShortRound42 - I'm sure I read somewhere Mike had teased new Bungle material being in the pipeline too.... But that wouldn't be the first time since California we've heard that.
It really is just stunning in it's contrast, and a fantastic song. It's so hard to encapsulate what the Bungle thing is, with just one song. Or one album.
@@loganmiller8846 The fun thing is the poor chap reading the comments will think you hate them😂. Primus suck and were the best band that I saw supporting Rush through the years!
This album came into my life in the early '90s. At the time I was a long-haired metalhead with a heart of gold and a penchant for LSD. As you can imagine this album struck a chord (pun intended) and pretty much became my de facto soundtrack when under the influence. I probably know this album as well as I know my own name. With that said, I absolutely love that you connected with this song so well and recognize the beauty within the chaos. The entire album deserves your time, and since most of the songs have creative and sometimes long interludes between the actual music listening to each song in order can be helpful. Their second major-label release is Disco Volante. It too is creative but is less palatable to the general public. One stand-out track is "Desert Search for Techno Allah." Their third major-label release is California and, like their self-titled release, is another masterpiece. I have several favorites, but the one I think I like most is "None of them knew they were robots." A lyrical breakdown, or an attempt at doing so, could make for an interesting reaction as well. Rock on, brother!
Hahaha! Me too. Listen to this on LSD was something else. If I needed music, this was it. So appropriate, like walking down a hallway opening doors and each room is another rabbit hole of madness. Great times.
It’s the Mike Patton wormhole. These dudes( who are a totally different band today) Faith No More, Tomahawk, his too short stint with Dillinger Escape Plan, Mondo Cane, and any of the other 76 Mike Patton projects are really awesome.
@@facepalmjesus1608 Mmmmmmno. I left them out intentionally. It’s hard to justify recommending Fantômas to anyone. I personally find them entertaining, but more for laughs than serious listening. However, he might actually enjoy giving them a whack.
Mr. Bungle is a great band with a lot of diversity between their albums. This has that skaish intense playful vibe (with a lot of complex compositions), their second is a lot more subtle and avant garde-dadaism-like. Their third is a Beach Boys-like Californian crooning vibe thing, but still crazy. Maybe check out one song from every album? I recommend Ma Meeshka Mow Skwoz or Violenza Domestica from Disco Volante and Ars Moriendi from California.
I'd love to hear a reaction to their song Sweet Charity, it's like a 50s vacation to Hawaii where you stay in your motel and hang out at the pool and occasionally look over the fence
The genius of this song is the contrast between comfortable, recognizable, arrangement between the "fun, happy" overtones and the "sinister, doom" undertones
I'm glad I didn't have to go too far down to see this. From a compositional standpoint, it's one of the most intricate whie deconstructing a early rock n' roll core. I guess ""Desert Search for Techno Allah" is the Disco Volante choice.
Oh man, Mr. Bungle is great. He did a ton of soundtracks for movies and whatnot. The first song that comes to mind with him for me is Desert Search for Techno Allah
Not only do they reinvent themselves with each album, they reinvent themselves with each song on each album. Pure genius. I think you'd dig Platypus and Goodbye Sober Day, among many others.
Patton is a monstrous talent, but his range is in no way six octaves. Keep in mind that the piano has a range of seven octaves, and no human comes even close. An average untrained singer has an octave, maybe an octave and a half. An exceptionally gifted singer has three, three and a half octaves, tops. See Luciano Pavarotti. Yes, there are numerous circularly linked sites and pages out there that claim some singers having 6 and what not, but those are compiled by amateurs who don't seem to know what they're doing using data that can't be even compared. Fry and falsetto cannot be considered part of range, and yet those rankings invariably include them.
@@freultwah these do include fry falsetto and whistles, that's how they claim dimash has 6 octaves, he did hit a d8 in whistle and does second octave in chest so it would make sense.. but yeah chest voice is a totally different game
Wow cant believe you're doing a review on Mr bungle! Most people I know dont know of them. Dog fashion disco is another similar yet different band if youre into it. Great video thus far man, peace and love as always.
8:37 This part of his reaction is the perfect descrpition of listening to Mr Bungle: you're banging your head enjoying the groovy, easy-to-listen-to part while tryng to decipher the lst part AND wondering what will come up next, all at the same time.
I love watching that live show of them at Bizarre Festival where they play My Ass Is On Fire in an almost completely different way. They're so good that they can change the entire structure of one of their songs and it still works. Legends without a doubt 🔥
This is probably the best Mr Bungle reaction I’ve seen so kudos to you dude. There is SO much Mr Bungle for you to discover and nearly every song is as much of a trip as this is but if I was to choose just one song for you to do next I’d say go for Goodbye Sober Day. Last track off the last (originals) album. Absolute trip and will be an absolute journey for you!
@@KeyOfGeebz You got the cover vibes indeed... comes from here, if I'm not mistaken upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/8/87/Beautiful_Stories_for_Ugly_Children.jpg Remember that comic from my early 20's, quite messed up
Carry Stress in the Jaw is one of the best, also Dead Goon has a rad bass line. Also the singer Mike Patton has a ton of other bands like: Faith No More Fantômas Tomahawk Peeping Tom Lovage John Zorn Kaada/Patton Dead Cross Dan the Automator Hemophiliac Nevermen I am probably missing some as well.
These bands that defy categorization beyond only the broadest genre are so good. Bungle is Bungle, King Gizz is King Gizz, Emma Ruth Rundle is Emma Ruth Rundle, Joanna Newsom is Joanna Newsom, Ulver is Ulver, Death Grips is Death Grips....and I, for one, am grateful.
I just need to say THANK YOU for reaffirming in the context of your technical expertise how brilliant, complex, and creative this work is. Even though it's music that is too rich for some people's palette, you were able to understand it on the first listen. Fantastic. Lace up your boots, Key of Geebs. You are in for a really great ride.
I think ska metal defines this song very well, actually. Or maybe circus ska metal. Other tracks by Mr. Bungle would fuse completely different genres than these ones. It's like playing the lottery with them. I'd highly recommend more reactions to Mr. Bungle!
I think the best way to describe them is, a proggy/jazzy version of early Butthole Surfers. Now to define what's the early Butthole Surfers' sound is a problem.
I saw them live on this tour and the lead singer spent most of the show crouched over playing with pedals and trigger pads. They are all geniuses. They were also in their early 20’s when they wrote & recorded this album. You should check out Mike Patton (lead singer/major arranger) in his Italian orchestra band -Mondo Cane So incredible & beautiful
Haha, great, thanks for doing this. "This is brand new." Sure, this recording is from 1991, and it's amazing how fresh it's still sounding after only 30 years. Mr. Bungle was Mike Patton's (high?) school band, before Faith No More hired him as lead vocalist and he became big, but he's kept it alive it seems and the band is even touring again these days. That guy from Anthrax with that beard has joined them now, and they still make disturbing music. Mike Patton is incredible, which you will soon come to learn i think. ;-) 'Carousel' with its perfect blend of ska, circus music, metal, and Zappa-esque insanity is the perfect entry drug. You have been warned. Just to give a few hints: Patton has toured with John Zorn's Naked City project back in the 90s (alternating that with filling stadiums with Faith No More), and he has a series of solo albums filled with nothing but experimental free-form vocals and noise. His many band projects also include Tomahawk (with members of Jesus Lizard and Helmet) and Fantômas, both also worth every listen. Have fun!
I am so amazingly happy to see that you reviewed this song, for your first time, on my birthday. I grew up with this album during my self-discovery doing alot of LSD teenager phase. I used to drop 5-6 hits of acid every weekend and listen to this exact album over and over and over, it is forever one of my favorites and I can sing along with every single song, and will be able to for the rest of my life. I've got a personal theory that this album is thematically about a life, starting from conception/fetal stages with the first song, and ending in masturbatory suicide. It's a beautiful complete work, not for the faint of heart at all, but SO worth it.
That whole MR.BUNGLE album is just a big take on Cardiacs' "Everso Closely Guarde Line"... an epic song with clown music wrapped through. Fantastic arrangements and unforgettable melodies.
Absolutely one of my favorite bands to ever exist. Thank you so much for tackling the beast that is Mr. Bungle. Watching your reaction was so much fun. It's even more fun watching you get a total kick out of them. I was able to see them twice during their earlier years and the new years eve show that i caught with them (along with Primus and Melvins) is emblazoned in my mind forever. For those of you at that show, you know what i'm talking about. This song is not an anomaly to this album. Each of their albums are very distinctly different from each other. On a side note, yes.... this album goes very well with heroic doses. The beginning of this album damn near startled the living excrement out of me on fungi. My wife can't tolerate this band for even a second.
It was so fun watching you experience this for the first time. Reminds me of when I first discovered this band as a teenager! That band blew my mind and expanded my idea of what music is in the first place!
I have another suggestion in the realm of quirky awesome music: The Cardiacs! I'd recommend R.E.S or Dog-Like Sparky hehehe But to any other cardiacs fans outthere: Gimme your suggestions! :D I love the cardiacs
@@macfrenzy6544 I don't know man, I mean I've heard it often that people praise Dirty Boy (and thats very nice!) but I just don't get into the song somehow, I like the riff at the beginning, the ending is very nice, but all the singing inbetween doesn't really catch me
the popular thought is that Mike Patton of "Faith no more" (and many others over the years) and Anthony Kiedis of "Red Hot Chili Peppers" started a beef on whom could spit lyrics better, and went red hot when FNM did a Peppers song at the end of their set with guess who was next. Not sure of the outcome of that but SKA was up and coming Mike was on top of the game, and you have an album (later to come) entirely about a circus clown's boldly functions! Master work! Squeeze Me Macaroni is the song before this one where the clown takes a shit (hence the album cover) and Carousel is about walking in after
Loved watching your reactions to Maynard's various projects, but so glad you've found your way to Mike Patton... the king of side projects. Mr. Bungle, Faith No More, Tomahawk, Peeping Tom, Fantomas, Lovage, and that's just *some* of them. So much too choose from, but check out Peeping Tom's "We're not alone".
The whole debut album of theirs (the album that this song is on) is amazing. There is no filer, every track is perfectly composed. Carousel is probably the most "accessible" on the entire album, it's just insane.
Mr Bungle! Dude! So happy to see you check those guys out. Literally every single song is absolutely amazing in terms of the arrangements and the changes show each members mastery of their instruments in a way most other bands can only fantasize about. Such a fun and badassical band.
Yes! Love Mr. Bungle. The new material is unabashedly metal but 1999's "California" is one of my favorite albums, period. So many great tracks but "Goodbye Sober Day" is a personal anthem.
Their new stuff is very metal as the songs are re-recordings of the first songs they wrote when they were like 15. .........at least that's what I read
@@tomobrien5345 I did not know that. It was just surprising to not only see Mr Bungle come back, but also do metal. Mike Patton does metal really well though. The Dillinger Escape Plan & Mike Patton EP "Irony Is A Dead Scene" is a classic and helped set DEP on their path towards an iconic status.
This album has always seen good rotation from myself. I enjoy this track, 'Egg', and 'Stub (a dub dub)'. It is difficult to pick a favorite from so many great tracks, but these are the ones I find myself humming or quoting all the time. I saw this album on 180 gram vinyl once, when I was broke, a tragic story I tell myself occasionally.
Loved watching Key of Beebz break, Mr. Bungle, down from a musical engineering perspective. I have always wanted to see someone with this experience listen to a MR. Bungle song; especially from this album. I saw these guys at the Trocadero in Philly a long time ago! And it was INSANE! Good to see a professional see the complexity of the musical arrangement(s) imbedded in this song. I still listen to this song in the car, as much as I can. And now we have Mr. Bungle back with the axe from Anthrax and the drums of Slayer; no big deal! HFS! There new stuff is just pure fun!
Oh man. Stoked you’re onto Mr. Bungle. Didn’t know you’ve covered Boingo. Going to have to find that now! Boingo definitely came first. OB is one of my favorite bands. If you haven’t yet, you should check out Danny’s new stuff. Really dope. Side note: by the time this was recorded, Ska had been mixing with metal for some time. Lots of great stuff to come out of the overlaps of those two genres. Keep it up!
Holy shit, we've reached Bungle territory. It's ON!
Seriously....almost no one touches these guys on the reaction circuit.
PARTY!!!
ON LIKE DONKEY KONG!
Cardiacs soon !
@@buddahbubba except for the week they all did My Ass Is On Fire and then never went back :(
Believe it or not, Carousel is one of their tamest, most accessible songs off this album.

Goodbye sober day. I’d love to see someone digest that on their first listen.

After you have listened to Mr Bungle, the self titled album, you are forever changed. There is no going back.
It's hard to get weirder than this album, and yes, it has changed my music taste dramatically.

Whilst dosed. It's THE best.
Ah. the first bungle reaction... a mix of emotions including a weird mix of panic, confusion, and joy
It's very rare that I listen to only one song off this album at a time. Usually it's consumed in it's entirety. A true masterpiece.
"Slowly growing deaf" never gets any love but it's one of my favorites.
Came here to request this.
That was my gateway when I heard it ON THE RADIO (in 92 on CBC FM in Canada)
I think it's my favourite song on that album! *high five* But yeah, I also think it gets overlooked. It's so rich.
Was pretty tough to play, but my band Doomsday Device and I did it..
It's a good one for sure but it's on a record full of really great songs. Terrible awful songs that no one should ever listen to ever but great songs.
“I’m not exactly sure what you’d call this...”. That’s ok. It’s Mr. Bungle. It doesn’t fit any genre.
It's like Primus, it's a genre on it's own.
I consider that first album "Circus Metal"
Back in those days, at least in the magazines I used to read, there was this basket called "funk metal" where they threw everything that was undefinable by the standards of the time and that had the minimum amount of vaguely "danceable" or "groovy" vibe. Living colour, faith no more, bang tango, RHCP... All were labeled as funk metal back then
Yeah it’s acid circus rock. Lolz

they really sounded like that during their highschool demos, as well
Sorry so late, I saw them 1992 4/20 at the Warfield with Grotus, hopefully we were at the same show, I was in the upper balcony, epic frickin show.
If you listen to the OU818 demo, they pretty much already sounded like the first album. ESPECIALLY Carousel.
"It's like hand written instructions for a horror story."
Mike Patton approves.
Well, he could also give Fantômas a listen, while he's at it. ;)
I know a lot of people say California is their best album, but this album is by far my favorite and i would highly recommend either Squeeze me macaroni or Quote unquote
Totally on board with both of those choices.
This album changed my musical life for forever then.

"Retrovertigo" from California for a contrast to their earlier more frenetic style. One of their best imho.
My best friend knew he had to ease me into Bungle and that's the song he used. Then Quote Unquote, just to remind me what I got myself into.
Bro what do you mean earlier? This song is from their first album. Retrovertigo is from their last.
@@blexinrain3453 read his post again. It's pretty. Clear what he means. Their last album was less frantic than the first ones.
yes, retrovertigo is great
It really is just stunning in it's contrast, and a fantastic song. It's so hard to encapsulate what the Bungle thing is, with just one song. Or one album.
Legit said "this oughta be good" and rubbed my hands together. On the Mike Patton Bonkers Scale this song is pretty tame.
Yeah fantomas get insanity levels spiking lol
Please do go on..;) ?
MORE BUNGLE!! Any song will do. Just write some of their recommended songs down and pull one out of a hat. All are completely different.
Retrovertigo has always been a favorite of mine. Else, Goodbye Sober Day or None Of Them Knew They Were Robots.
Showed my 12 ur old daughter the video for retrovertigo... she was dumbfounded, Speechless, then just asked "WHAT????? "
You should probably just listen to this entire demented album. You've already gone down the rabbit hole. Keep going.
So the singer of Mr Bungle, Mike Patton, recorded an EP with Dillinger Escape Plan. Check out the track Hollywood Squares, muhalo
God, I love that song. Hell, that whole EP is awesome.
Might pull that one of the shelf for the drive to work today. Thanks for the reminder.
"Goodbye Sober Day" is Patton at his finest. EDIT: Also "Ars Moriendi" is one of their more complex songs with extreme contrasts of styles.
You know nothing, Matthew Jones!
None of them knew they were robots ❤️
@@punishedbnnuy Disco Volante would like to have a word with you
If you enjoy odd funk like this I would really recommend the band Primus.
Primus sucks.
I will recommend Ween over Primus any day.
@@28Pluto ween is an acquired taste lol. I was not a fan personally but it did grow on me
Primus Yes please
@@loganmiller8846 The fun thing is the poor chap reading the comments will think you hate them😂.
Primus suck and were the best band that I saw supporting Rush through the years!
This album came into my life in the early '90s. At the time I was a long-haired metalhead with a heart of gold and a penchant for LSD. As you can imagine this album struck a chord (pun intended) and pretty much became my de facto soundtrack when under the influence. I probably know this album as well as I know my own name. With that said, I absolutely love that you connected with this song so well and recognize the beauty within the chaos. The entire album deserves your time, and since most of the songs have creative and sometimes long interludes between the actual music listening to each song in order can be helpful.
Their second major-label release is Disco Volante. It too is creative but is less palatable to the general public. One stand-out track is "Desert Search for Techno Allah."
Their third major-label release is California and, like their self-titled release, is another masterpiece. I have several favorites, but the one I think I like most is "None of them knew they were robots." A lyrical breakdown, or an attempt at doing so, could make for an interesting reaction as well.
Rock on, brother!
Hahaha! Me too. Listen to this on LSD was something else. If I needed music, this was it. So appropriate, like walking down a hallway opening doors and each room is another rabbit hole of madness.
Great times.
every single song Mr. Bungle does is an anomaly
It’s the Mike Patton wormhole. These dudes( who are a totally different band today) Faith No More, Tomahawk, his too short stint with Dillinger Escape Plan, Mondo Cane, and any of the other 76 Mike Patton projects are really awesome.
Music to make love to youre oldlady by
Mondo Cane was fantastic
You forgot to mention Fantomas!!!!!!!!!
@@facepalmjesus1608 Mmmmmmno. I left them out intentionally. It’s hard to justify recommending Fantômas to anyone. I personally find them entertaining, but more for laughs than serious listening. However, he might actually enjoy giving them a whack.
Mr. Bungle is a great band with a lot of diversity between their albums. This has that skaish intense playful vibe (with a lot of complex compositions), their second is a lot more subtle and avant garde-dadaism-like. Their third is a Beach Boys-like Californian crooning vibe thing, but still crazy. Maybe check out one song from every album?
I recommend Ma Meeshka Mow Skwoz or Violenza Domestica from Disco Volante and Ars Moriendi from California.
I lllove your choice of tracks, they're all superb.
And Violenza gives me creeps every time I hear it 😬
I'd love to hear a reaction to their song Sweet Charity, it's like a 50s vacation to Hawaii where you stay in your motel and hang out at the pool and occasionally look over the fence
they really do know how to take you somewhere with a song. :)
...and then realize you've been living in a mental institution the entire time. "Save me/Asylums are open/I'm coming home/Sweet Charity..."
The genius of this song is the contrast between comfortable, recognizable, arrangement between the "fun, happy" overtones and the "sinister, doom" undertones
CAN YOU IMAGINE THIS SONG HAS 30+ YEARS?
next song: NONE OF THEM KNEW THEY WERE ROBOTS
No question, this song next.
I'm glad I didn't have to go too far down to see this. From a compositional standpoint, it's one of the most intricate whie deconstructing a early rock n' roll core.
I guess ""Desert Search for Techno Allah" is the Disco Volante choice.
@@nonsuchned94 Yes. DSFTA!
my favorite of theirs!
Yes !!
Love me some Bungle!! The white album (California) is amazing 🤘
Hells yeah! Vanity Fair love that track
Is all their stuff that off the wall? That was great!
@@derricktipps9867 it's pretty great. Some is more straight forward, some is like this, and some is even further! Fun times!
Oh man, Mr. Bungle is great. He did a ton of soundtracks for movies and whatnot. The first song that comes to mind with him for me is Desert Search for Techno Allah
I was laughing so hard watching you try to classify Bungle. Bungle just is what it is in any given moment.
I would classify them as organized chaos haha
That's the way King Crimson is also.
Not only do they reinvent themselves with each album, they reinvent themselves with each song on each album. Pure genius. I think you'd dig Platypus and Goodbye Sober Day, among many others.
Oh, Mike Patton! I'm here for him! ❤ That distinct voice and insane vocal range. More Mr. Bungle, Faith No More, and Tomahawk please!
"It's like handwritten instructions for a horror story" I couldn't stop chuckling about this
Mike Patton's vocal range is six octaves. Not even kidding.
Patton is a monstrous talent, but his range is in no way six octaves. Keep in mind that the piano has a range of seven octaves, and no human comes even close. An average untrained singer has an octave, maybe an octave and a half. An exceptionally gifted singer has three, three and a half octaves, tops. See Luciano Pavarotti. Yes, there are numerous circularly linked sites and pages out there that claim some singers having 6 and what not, but those are compiled by amateurs who don't seem to know what they're doing using data that can't be even compared. Fry and falsetto cannot be considered part of range, and yet those rankings invariably include them.
@@freultwah these do include fry falsetto and whistles, that's how they claim dimash has 6 octaves, he did hit a d8 in whistle and does second octave in chest so it would make sense.. but yeah chest voice is a totally different game
Wow cant believe you're doing a review on Mr bungle! Most people I know dont know of them. Dog fashion disco is another similar yet different band if youre into it. Great video thus far man, peace and love as always.
Oh man Dog Fashion Disco would be fucking awesome! And while he's at it, he could also do Polkadot Cadaver!
Vertigo motel!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thirded.
Agreed, Dog Fashion Disco would be great. Silent Film might be a good song to start with.
Heck yeah, glad to see other dog fashion disco fans here! I hope geebz ends up doing a video. Stay cool amigos 😎
8:37 This part of his reaction is the perfect descrpition of listening to Mr Bungle: you're banging your head enjoying the groovy, easy-to-listen-to part while tryng to decipher the lst part AND wondering what will come up next, all at the same time.
To be able to hear Mike Patton for the first time again would be a treat
Watching them live is absolutely incredible. They are so tight and unique.
I love watching that live show of them at Bizarre Festival where they play My Ass Is On Fire in an almost completely different way. They're so good that they can change the entire structure of one of their songs and it still works. Legends without a doubt 🔥
"Heroic dose", a man of culture I see.
If that pic has anything to do with the crigy virgin youtuber, bro
@@recipoldinasty if that Pic has anything to do with anti semitism, bro.
lol
"Culture is not your friend"
I heard you say you don't know who the guy on the inside of the tool cover is... but you quote him in heroic doses.
FUCK YES, I was hoping you did Mr Bungle. I would LOVE to see you do "Retrovertigo" and "My ass is on fire"
This is probably the best Mr Bungle reaction I’ve seen so kudos to you dude. There is SO much Mr Bungle for you to discover and nearly every song is as much of a trip as this is but if I was to choose just one song for you to do next I’d say go for Goodbye Sober Day. Last track off the last (originals) album. Absolute trip and will be an absolute journey for you!
This album unlocked a door in my mind. It's been wide open ever since.
Congratulations on 100k! You deserve it. Love the Tool and Deftones reviews especially 👍👍🔥🔥
Thank you very much!
@@KeyOfGeebz You got the cover vibes indeed... comes from here, if I'm not mistaken upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/8/87/Beautiful_Stories_for_Ugly_Children.jpg Remember that comic from my early 20's, quite messed up
Carry Stress in the Jaw is one of the best, also Dead Goon has a rad bass line.
Also the singer Mike Patton has a ton of other bands like:
Faith No More
Fantômas
Tomahawk
Peeping Tom
Lovage
John Zorn
Kaada/Patton
Dead Cross
Dan the Automator
Hemophiliac
Nevermen
I am probably missing some as well.
These bands that defy categorization beyond only the broadest genre are so good. Bungle is Bungle, King Gizz is King Gizz, Emma Ruth Rundle is Emma Ruth Rundle, Joanna Newsom is Joanna Newsom, Ulver is Ulver, Death Grips is Death Grips....and I, for one, am grateful.
Have someone already suggested some Emma Ruth Rundle. Or maybe Chelsea Wolfe. Or maybe both ;)
Always fun to see people experience their first Bungle.
When Lost in Vegas got My Ass Is On Fire as their first Bungle track I lost it.
I just need to say THANK YOU for reaffirming in the context of your technical expertise how brilliant, complex, and creative this work is. Even though it's music that is too rich for some people's palette, you were able to understand it on the first listen. Fantastic.
Lace up your boots, Key of Geebs. You are in for a really great ride.
I didn't get this as a kid. There's just so much going on. Somehow, now, it all makes sense.
You face between 1:06 and 2:36 explains Mr. Bungle perfectly.
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I didn't actually know if you were going to listen to it, but it was just as fun as I thought it'd be!
I think ska metal defines this song very well, actually. Or maybe circus ska metal. Other tracks by Mr. Bungle would fuse completely different genres than these ones. It's like playing the lottery with them. I'd highly recommend more reactions to Mr. Bungle!
surf-us circus ska metal
I think the best way to describe them is, a proggy/jazzy version of early Butthole Surfers. Now to define what's the early Butthole Surfers' sound is a problem.
@@dr.juerdotitsgo5119i love Butthole Surfers, and fully agree.
I saw them live on this tour and the lead singer spent most of the show crouched over playing with pedals and trigger pads. They are all geniuses. They were also in their early 20’s when they wrote & recorded this album.
You should check out Mike Patton (lead singer/major arranger) in his Italian orchestra band -Mondo Cane
So incredible & beautiful
"Quote Unquote" would be my personal choice for the next Mr. Bungle reaction. But not the video version, the studio version.
Yes! But not the video version. It’s edited.
Literally any song off this album is insane, but I'm going Stub-a-dub
@@78kombi stub a dub is my favourite off the first album for sure!
@@robbarnes5221 Love is a Fist is my fave, but they’re all gold!
"Three Days" by Jane's Addiction
A masterpiece!
Absolutely!
He'd love this one! Very good call! Then She Did... is another must.
A man of culture I see
Haha, great, thanks for doing this. "This is brand new." Sure, this recording is from 1991, and it's amazing how fresh it's still sounding after only 30 years. Mr. Bungle was Mike Patton's (high?) school band, before Faith No More hired him as lead vocalist and he became big, but he's kept it alive it seems and the band is even touring again these days. That guy from Anthrax with that beard has joined them now, and they still make disturbing music.
Mike Patton is incredible, which you will soon come to learn i think. ;-) 'Carousel' with its perfect blend of ska, circus music, metal, and Zappa-esque insanity is the perfect entry drug. You have been warned. Just to give a few hints: Patton has toured with John Zorn's Naked City project back in the 90s (alternating that with filling stadiums with Faith No More), and he has a series of solo albums filled with nothing but experimental free-form vocals and noise. His many band projects also include Tomahawk (with members of Jesus Lizard and Helmet) and Fantômas, both also worth every listen. Have fun!
I am so amazingly happy to see that you reviewed this song, for your first time, on my birthday. I grew up with this album during my self-discovery doing alot of LSD teenager phase. I used to drop 5-6 hits of acid every weekend and listen to this exact album over and over and over, it is forever one of my favorites and I can sing along with every single song, and will be able to for the rest of my life.
I've got a personal theory that this album is thematically about a life, starting from conception/fetal stages with the first song, and ending in masturbatory suicide. It's a beautiful complete work, not for the faint of heart at all, but SO worth it.
That whole MR.BUNGLE album is just a big take on Cardiacs' "Everso Closely Guarde Line"... an epic song with clown music wrapped through. Fantastic arrangements and unforgettable melodies.
Yeah the Cardiacs are their most obvious influence to me also. Was nice to find out Tim Smith was a Bungle fan too.
Absolutely one of my favorite bands to ever exist. Thank you so much for tackling the beast that is Mr. Bungle. Watching your reaction was so much fun. It's even more fun watching you get a total kick out of them. I was able to see them twice during their earlier years and the new years eve show that i caught with them (along with Primus and Melvins) is emblazoned in my mind forever. For those of you at that show, you know what i'm talking about. This song is not an anomaly to this album. Each of their albums are very distinctly different from each other. On a side note, yes.... this album goes very well with heroic doses. The beginning of this album damn near startled the living excrement out of me on fungi. My wife can't tolerate this band for even a second.
He handled Mr. Bungle well, it's time for Primus.
Candy man. 100%
Primus is very tame in comparison lol
@@theskv21 I can't disagree, but that's what I was getting at. If he can handle Bungle, he can step back and check Primus.
It's ALWAYS time for Primus.
@@archgeneral509 fair enough mate!
When they composed this, the guys were at the very start of their career. This is a high-school/college band !!
It was so fun watching you experience this for the first time. Reminds me of when I first discovered this band as a teenager! That band blew my mind and expanded my idea of what music is in the first place!
Been listening to this album for over 20 years and still love it. I hear the Cardiacs influence that often gets overlooked.
“I don’t know what you would call this.” Yeah that about sums up the Mr Bungle experience
Mr. Bungle. That's what you call it lol.
I have another suggestion in the realm of quirky awesome music:
The Cardiacs!
I'd recommend R.E.S or Dog-Like Sparky hehehe
But to any other cardiacs fans outthere: Gimme your suggestions! :D
I love the cardiacs
Fiery Gun Hand.
Also, it's just "Cardiacs" 😉
Cardiacs suggestions... ALL OF IT!!
Tim Smith was such a lovely man, met him on several occasions on the Sing To God tours, RIP to such a kind soul.
cardiacs are legendary
i mean... if youre suggesting Cardiacs to a composer and not suggesting Dirty Boy... are you even suggesting Cardiacs?
@@macfrenzy6544 I don't know man, I mean I've heard it often that people praise Dirty Boy (and thats very nice!) but I just don't get into the song somehow, I like the riff at the beginning, the ending is very nice, but all the singing inbetween doesn't really catch me
You should listen to "None of Them Knew They Were Robots" or "Golem II: The Bionic Vapour Boy".
Compositionally speaking, "None of Them Knew" would be the most interesting. The lyrics, alone, are a trip.
Death - Flesh and the Power it Holds
Agreed
Love this guys reaction to Bungle, think we all had exactly the same reaction, praise and addiction from this album. A masterpiece on repeat.
the popular thought is that Mike Patton of "Faith no more" (and many others over the years) and Anthony Kiedis of "Red Hot Chili Peppers" started a beef on whom could spit lyrics better, and went red hot when FNM did a Peppers song at the end of their set with guess who was next. Not sure of the outcome of that but SKA was up and coming Mike was on top of the game, and you have an album (later to come) entirely about a circus clown's boldly functions! Master work!
Squeeze Me Macaroni is the song before this one where the clown takes a shit (hence the album cover) and Carousel is about walking in after
"Goodbye Sober Day" please!
Air-Conditioned Nightmare from their third album is an essential track
Word!
Love that track
WALKING ON AIIIR
Loved watching your reactions to Maynard's various projects, but so glad you've found your way to Mike Patton... the king of side projects. Mr. Bungle, Faith No More, Tomahawk, Peeping Tom, Fantomas, Lovage, and that's just *some* of them. So much too choose from, but check out Peeping Tom's "We're not alone".
The whole debut album of theirs (the album that this song is on) is amazing. There is no filer, every track is perfectly composed. Carousel is probably the most "accessible" on the entire album, it's just insane.
Mr Bungle! Dude! So happy to see you check those guys out. Literally every single song is absolutely amazing in terms of the arrangements and the changes show each members mastery of their instruments in a way most other bands can only fantasize about. Such a fun and badassical band.
Wow. I was seriously laughing the last two mins. And then at the end there was so much laughter in the song it just made me laugh more. Wow.
Yes! Love Mr. Bungle. The new material is unabashedly metal but 1999's "California" is one of my favorite albums, period. So many great tracks but "Goodbye Sober Day" is a personal anthem.
Their new stuff is very metal as the songs are re-recordings of the first songs they wrote when they were like 15. .........at least that's what I read
@@tomobrien5345 I did not know that. It was just surprising to not only see Mr Bungle come back, but also do metal. Mike Patton does metal really well though. The Dillinger Escape Plan & Mike Patton EP "Irony Is A Dead Scene" is a classic and helped set DEP on their path towards an iconic status.
Haven't clicked soooo fast. Mike Patton is a musical genius. From faith no more to tomahawk to bungle.
This album has always seen good rotation from myself. I enjoy this track, 'Egg', and 'Stub (a dub dub)'. It is difficult to pick a favorite from so many great tracks, but these are the ones I find myself humming or quoting all the time. I saw this album on 180 gram vinyl once, when I was broke, a tragic story I tell myself occasionally.
Loved watching Key of Beebz break, Mr. Bungle, down from a musical engineering perspective. I have always wanted to see someone with this experience listen to a MR. Bungle song; especially from this album. I saw these guys at the Trocadero in Philly a long time ago! And it was INSANE!
Good to see a professional see the complexity of the musical arrangement(s) imbedded in this song. I still listen to this song in the car, as much as I can. And now we have Mr. Bungle back with the axe from Anthrax and the drums of Slayer; no big deal! HFS! There new stuff is just pure fun!
Mr Bungle’s album California is a masterpiece! Someone once called it Frank Zappa meets The Beach Boys
Yeah it's amazing
Dude, I love the whole Mr. Bungle - California album, it's like a whole story unto itself
Mike Patton is legendary! This album is from 1991, in case you didn't know
Mr. Bungle is pure joy!
Oh man. Stoked you’re onto Mr. Bungle. Didn’t know you’ve covered Boingo. Going to have to find that now! Boingo definitely came first. OB is one of my favorite bands. If you haven’t yet, you should check out Danny’s new stuff. Really dope.
Side note: by the time this was recorded, Ska had been mixing with metal for some time. Lots of great stuff to come out of the overlaps of those two genres.
Keep it up!
