Mike friggin' Patton
 

Hi there! I'm going to make this quick and simple. I am here to yell about the musical genius of Faith No More and Mr Bungles one and only Mike Patton. Please feel free to add something so I can talk about this guy some more. Thanks!

Faith No More is meh, it pains me to say that even Mr. Bungle isn't as good as I remember from my teenage obsession. Tomahawk is boring as hell.
Fantomas is pretty damn good though.
I like Patton best when he's working with John Zorn. Astronome and Six Litanies For Heliogabalus are amazing.
Oh and I also like his Mondo Cane project.

He's painfully overrated.

Seriously? I think he's more underrated. People don't see the quality that others see in him. Look at all his abilities. One minute he can sing beautifully, changing from a falsetto to a his amazing soprano. Then it can swing out of control and he can change it to a chaotic masterpiece.

It's mostly a tiresome gimmick.

Faith No More is a big fat meh for me, always has been since I first listened to them. Mr. Bungle's debut was alright, but that's about it. That's pretty much all I've heard of his work though.

Most of his credibility comes from his work with Zorn.

Zorn does too much.

x2

He does, but he still manages to be mostly decent to good.

In an exploration inside Patton's solo work I found a soundtrack he did for a film called "A Perfect Place." I can't find John Zorn and Mike Patton on Spotify.
