mr bungle broke up :(

xp to abbott about california

Their first album is the thing that made me think "Blue Velvet" would be a totally fun-loving party film.

(The Girls Of Porn = the movie Irreversible with a clown mask on)

hahaha I was given Blue Velvet for my birthday and am waiting for a good opportunity to watch it - may just synch it up with the first Mr Bungle album, see what happens

I highly recommend not doing that.

I mean you could but *96 tears*

the first one is the worst of the three and i'm sure every member of mr. bungle would agree with that

Damn dude. For some reason, my wife has a copy of Blue Velvet in her movie collection. It's really out of character for a collection that's mostly cheesy horror and kung fu movies. I've never asked her why and she's never suggested watching it.

xpost
not that the first one isn't great, obv

yeah I'm kinda realising this - it's not as GOOD but it's hella fun, and about half the tracks are stone-dead stunning

disco volante and california are terrifyingly lucid fever-dreams and i treasure them dearly

my skin shrivels a little bit every time the words "funk-metal" and "mr bungle" appear in close proximity.

sjokes, bruv.

even so.

brrr.

i'm the biggest bungle fan there is, and there's no denying that first album was funk-metal, come on now

it has elements of funk-metal, sure, among many other things.

though it is by far the funk-metalest of the three.

'funk metal' makes me think of mordred.

note to self: stop saying funk-metal.

Fettle.

Reunion shows performing the Raging Wrath of the Easter Bunny demo with Scott Ian and Dave Lombardo? Select dates in stupid cities far from where I live.

Caught last night's show -- ridiculously good. Just classic 80s underground metal with Ian and Lombardo giving it all extra heft. Logically, when they started it was by covering, mostly straightforwardly, "Won't You Be My Neighbor," with Mike in a red sweater. Later, they did a complete on-the-level cover of "Summer Breeze."

*jealous*

uh, you may not have been paying complete attention to the lyrics patton was singing if you thought it was completely on-the-level, just sayin' :)

"Doesn't matter what part of the political spectrum you are on, everyone at some point has said 'Fuck the USA'. The closest thing we have to a universal sentiment," says Spruance.

Not sure about this one chief. Fun cover tho

This version of Mr. Bungle is
Trevor Dunn
Mike Patton
Trey Spruance
Scott Ian
Dave Lombardo

if it's patton, spruance, dunn and your granny on bongos etc

Thrash lives and Mr. Bungle is its prophet:

great. as if this year couldn't get any worse.

that ruled. I for one am happy they are back and shredding harder than vacating consulate

that was a pretty good Slayer homage.

lol didn't know Lombardo was in the band ...

Easter Bunny Ruelz

Wanna a/b compare it to the demo vers

like this is better thrash than most vets from that actual era put out

how is Bowel of Chiley compared to this

lol that's RHEA PERLMAN on "Anarchy Up Your Anus"?

I think Patton asked her to do it. He has a very long-lasting friendship with Danny DeVito, who was married to Rhea Perlman. So it was kind of an easy thing to bring up, but I don't think anyone could've thought of a better person to do it because her voice was exactly what we needed for that.

Covering Van Halen’s ”Loss of Control”

Warning: don’t sit too close or your face will melt

still remember when dude touched my friend Sandy's butt at a Death Grips show ... and Sandy came over to our friend cluster near the back and exclaimed, "Mike Patton just touched my butt?!" Sorry, this will forever be what Mr. Bungle is most associated with for me.

Mr. Bunghole

was the record he did with Jean-Claude Vannier any good?

The current Mr. Bungle lineup is INSANE, catch this current tour if you can

:)

Yeah seeing said lineup just a few weeks before lockdown was one of those retrospective 'whew at least I saw that happen!' moments.

Is it still the usual three, plus Scott Ian and Lombardo?

Theo Lengyel arrested for murder of girlfriend

Theobald “Theo” Lengyel, a former member of the California art-metal band Mr. Bungle, has been arrested for the murder of his girlfriend. Local ABC affiliate KRCR reports that police in Capitola, California arrested Lengyel yesterday after the remains of Alice “Alyx” Kamakaokalani were discovered in a Berkeley park. According to police, Lengyel was taken into custody without incident.

Police had already named the 54-year-old Lengyel a person of interest in the disappearance of the 61-year-old Kamakaokalani, who went missing early in December. Human remains, believed to belong to Kamakaokalani, were discovered in Tilden Regional Park, though DNA evidence hasn’t yet confirmed it. Lengyel and Kamakaokalani were formerly married, and Lengyel has previously been investigated for domestic violence. In 2017, the same year that they divorced, Kamakaokalani filed a restraining order against Lenyel.
