The 11 Best Songs By Mr. Bungle

Posted on by

When Mike Patton joined Faith No More, he was wilder and crazier than any other frontman at the time.  He made Axl Rose look like a librarian. Patton was so wild and crazy…that one band could not contain him.  He kept it together for his stint in Faith No More…which by Mike Patton standards was keeping it together.  He unleashed his insanity in his side project known as Mr. Bungle.  Get ready for one wacky playlist.

Here are the 11 Best Songs By Mr. Bungle (listen here):

  1. Carousel (Mr. Bungle)
  2. Slowly Growing Deaf (Mr. Bungle)
  3. Retrovertigo (California)
  4. Vanity Fair (California)
  5. Squeeze Me Macaroni (Mr. Bungle)
  6. Pink Cigarette (California)

The 11 Best Songs By Tomahawk

Posted on by

In the long hiatus between Faith No More albums, the band members kept busy.  The busiest of them all was Mike Patton and his six octave range who released 23 albums and almost 50 guest appearances.  You couldn’t stop him, you could only hope to contain him.  It was inevitable for Faith No More to get back together because Mike Patton was running out of people to play with!  One of the most successful post-FNM projects was Tomahawk, featuring Duane Denison of The Jesus Lizard, Kevin Rutmanis of the Melvins and John Stainer of Helmet.

Here are the 11 Best Songs By Tomahawk (listen here):

  1. Stone Letter (Oddfellows)
  2. Rape This Day (Mit Gas)
  3. Capt Midnight (Mit Gas)
  4. Sweet Smell of Success (Tomahawk)
  5. God Hates A Coward (Tomahawk)
  6. Mayday  (Mit Gas)
  7. Sun Dance (Anonymous)
  8. I.O.U. (Oddfellows)
  9. Laredo  (Tomahawk)
  10. M.E.A.T. (M.E.A.T.)
  11. Totem (Anonymous)

The 11 Best Songs By Mike Patton’s Tomahawk

 Since the break-up of Faith No More, Mike Patton has been on a recording frenzy.  Since 1997, he has recorded a total of 19 albums featured as a lead singer.  On top of that, he’s been featured as a guest vocalist/musician/producer on an additional 50 albums.  A majority of the music is largely experimental with very few returns to traditional rock.  This is has caused fans to miss the good old days of Faith No More…some would even settle for a return to the days of Mr. Bungle.  But now with the Faith No More reunion in full swing, does that mean fans are going to start missing the days of Fantomas, Peeping Tom, and Tomahawk?

 This week sees Patton’s 20th release…and probably the most normal of anything he’s done in awhile.  It’s an Italian opera covers album.  Normal for Patton…out there for anyone else.

 Here Are The 11 Best Songs By Tomahawk:

 1.  Rape This Day (Mit Gas)

2.  Captain Midnight (Mit Gas)

3.  Flashback (Tomahawk)

4.  May Day (Mit Gas)

5.  Omaha Dance (Anonymous)

6.  Sweet Smell of Success (Tomahawk)

7.  Totem (Anonymous)

8.  Laredo (Tomahawk)

9.  Harelip (Mit Gas)

10.  101 North (Tomahawk)
