J3FF3R00 Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=138534 Call me crazy, but I am actually a bigger fan of the work the band did in the Chuck years, so this is pretty big news for me. Most of the songs from this performance sound atrocious. However, "As The Worm Turns" is fucking gold. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvEy9tl_zwI&feature=player_embedded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest thepilot Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Yeah. What's so great about Mike Patton anyway? I don't get it really. I understand the importance of fnm as a group, but the Patton fanboyism is beyond my scope of comprehension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah people go too far with the Patton worship but it's worth noting that Mr Bungle were one of God's great gifts to humankind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J3FF3R00 Posted April 18, 2010 Author Share Posted April 18, 2010 Whoah. I agree with both of you guys completely. I'm totally surprised that the first 2 replies to this thread aren't "Fuck Chuck Mosely. He sucks." I think Patton is good at what he does but for me it's a little too "showy".

sidewinder Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 I used to think everything Patton touched turned to gold, but that was before he started putting out all the various side projects. I still love his voice and he's one of if not my favorite singer, but that doesn't make everything he puts out good and at least I can realize that. As for FNM, I definitely prefer the Patton stuff (I discovered them with The Real Thing, after all), but I can also appreciate the Mosley stuff. In fact I revisited the first two albums this week and they're pretty enjoyable. He doesn't have a great singing voice but it's also less nasal than Patton's so there's that (especially on The Real Thing which sadly sounds dated these days and really could use a remaster...still love it though). Anyway I think it's really cool Chuck joined them for some songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidewinder Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 I've only heard a couple SC3 albums, Book M and Book of Horizons. I think I prefer the second. What would you recommend next? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Greg Reason Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 The new one that isn't quite out yet (Satellite Supersonic) has some incredible stuff on it (I've got all the limited 7"s that form most of the content) but as for stuff that's already released you would like Second Grand Constitution and Bylaws better than their first record, which is more in the manner of Mr Bungle's Disco Volante.

It's incredible how much of a genius Trey is but everyone gets hung up on Patton because he sings... This said, Disco Volante and California are incredible records but hearing what they all do on their own reveals who was responsible for what... Patton does some very good stuff (most notably Delirium Cordia) but he seems to release far too much and not put very much effort into any of it, which is the opposite of Trey who releases very little but everything he does seems to be unstoppably brilliant. Trevor Dunn does some fantastic stuff but he seems to work better within the framework of something larger than himself. His solo stuff is good but not mind-blowing but when he was writing for Mr Bungle he came up with some brilliant shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool, thanks. I should really check out all their stuff. I'm surprised I never really spent much time with them, since I've been aware of them for over a decade.

Although it really just made me wish Mr. Bungle was still together. Something about going to a bungle show...just some kinda magic in the air even before the show where you knew something special was about to happen. The only band i've ever seen that happen with is Sleepytime Gorilla Museum. who are on Trey's label and are fucking AMAZING. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
