what has he done for me lately
Yeah but who are /we?
>>68356764
who we are
Here's the thing about Mike. The man has some serious pipes. He has a six octave range and excels in any octave. He writes brilliant songs. And his stage presence is only matched by Adolf Hitler.
Seriously, Watch Mr. Bungle play Pink Cigarette at Bizarre Festival and then watch a video of the Nuremburg rallies. We better thank our lucky stars Mike didn't go into politics or he would have taken over the world.
But Mr. Bungle as a whole had a brilliant dynamic. It wasn't just the Mike Patton backup band. They all made huge creative contributions to what made Bungle what it is. Yes Mike wrote Girls of Porn, Sweet Charity and The Air conditioned Nightmare.
But Trevor Dunn wrote Retrovertigo, The holy Filament and Phlegmatics. Trey Spruance wrote Desert Search for Techno Allah, None of them know they were robots, Golem II the bionic vapour boy.
Other bands like Nirvana for instance were not like that. Nirvana was basically just the Kurt Cobain backup band. Mr. Bungle was the perfect storm of legendary talent, and Mike was the face of it all, the delicious cherry on top of an already delicious sundae.
He was the ambassador that allowed the amazing talent of the combo that was Mr. Bungle to be brought into our lives. He was the prism that focused the lazer beams from the brains of Trevor, Trey, Heifietz and Mckinnon and amplified them until they were powerful enough to blow our minds out through our ear holes.
Yes, he is the most incredible front man who has ever lived, hands down.

Terrible meme. He is an amazing singer and songwriter. A little bit too experimental at times, but that is also a good quality even if sometimes it doesn't work out. I really appreciate that when Faith No More blew up, he still decided to tour with Mr.Bungle for a year in the peak of his popularity.
>>68356734
unfortunately /fit/ already claimed him
however all of god's children can enjoy his chiselled frame and righteous pipes

i only know mike patton because a lot of people compare him to kyo from dir en grey. i mean, patton has range, but he's got nothing on this:

Kyo has an amazing vocal range as well. The difference is that Patton performs consistently amazing live, Kyo's quality drops down most of the time when singing live. Also Patton has put his range to use with more variety, check out his EP with The Dillinger Escape Plan.

I want a live edition of their last album which seemed so lackluster to me but he brought it super fucking hard live and really elevated the songs.
>>68357077
oh shit he did a thing with dillinger? that sounds amaze-balls...
another comparable great is devin townsend.
>>68357117
yeah and probably not coincidentally the new dillinger sounds very patton
>>68357117
It's called Irony is a Dead Scene, give it a listen. Specially the song When Good Dods Do Bad Things is truly amazing.
can i also just ask a question? always been curious about this - why did mike patton go from being super hot when he was younger to looking so ugly and daddish...like, there wasn't even a middle area. he just went straight b-line from hot to old.
>>68357163
>>68357132
i actually feel like puciato era dillinger kind of accomplished and eclipsed patton, because his melodies were never nearly as good as puciatos are now.
>>68356901
He totally is
>>68357337
he'd still look pretty good if he lost some weight
not knocking him, it's hard to stay slim past 40 for some
>>68356800
I fucking love Patton, and I agree with basically everything you said, but I just rewatched that Pink Cigarette performance, I'm not sure I'm getting the insane stage presence you're referring to. Like, he doesn't really do much special in that performance, even if it is a beautiful one, vocally.

cocaine and general aging.
