Mr. Bungle ( Mike Patton of Faith No More) Understanding ( Story of Self titled Album)

Mike Patton VIDEOS, MikePatton, FaithNoMore, MrBungle was the band that truly opened me to the world of experimental music, and changed my life forever. Before that I listened to stuff like Korn, Mushroomhead, and Slipknot. The funny thing about listening to those bands, is the fact that each one of them were EXTREMELY influenced by Mr. Bungle, Faith No More. Korn was a band called LAPD before Korn, and they were a funk, metal hybrid very reminiscent of Bungle. They even have a style of guitar playing they call the bungle chord for their more experimental songs. Mushroomhead, especially their earlier albums, is basically a heavier version of Faith No More Listen to their songs Simpleton or The Wrist, for example. And if you listen to Slipknots first album Mate Kill Feed Repeat it s basically a straight up Mr. Bungle ripoff. This band influenced my life before I even knew they existed, and everything came full circle
