RancidPunx Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Not to keep shite-ing on about Mr Bungle but they did a live stream gig from a library this evening and it was .......fucking brilliant . Unbelievable sound, it was shot great and the great technique you would expect . Vintage Mike Patton performance also. I honestly didnāt think it would be half as good .Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyattSheepMask Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Had a listen to the new (old) Mr Bungle album yesterday, itās fucking incredible. I never really got into them previously, I think it was a bit too diverse a sound to what I was into back then, but Iām going to give them another go. I am loving this new thrash direction theyāre going though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RancidPunx Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 They did a live stream last night from a library in their hometown . Ā it was fuckin great . ā Well, hereās a bit of a dilemma: Iām supposed to be reviewingĀ The Night He Came Home, Mr. Bungleās āvirtual live concert experience,ā which debuted earlier today, and remains streaming for the next 72 hours (give or take, depending on when youāre reading this). Thing is, the event is so packed with fun surprises ā from celebrity cameos to cover song selections to the way they handle the absence of a live audience to the very setting of the performance, which was not announced beforehand ā which I donāt wanna spoil for you. That makes it hard to say much more than āTHUMBS UP WOULD RECOMMEND.ā So letās talk about something that shouldnāt be a surprise: the performance itself is top-notch.Ā Ā Ā Mr. Bungle are living every teenagerās dream: they grew up to be successful, so now theyāve enlisted two of their heroes and re-recorded their original demo to make it sound they way they always hoped it would. That resulted in the most excellentĀ The Raging Wrath of the Easter Bunny Demo, which was released yesterday on Ipecac, and around whichĀ Nightās setlist mostly centers (as I said, there are some coversā¦ but donāt expect to hear anything fromĀ Mr. Bungle,Ā Disco Volante, orĀ California).Ā This version of the band is comprised of five musicians (original members Mike Patton, Trey Spruance, and Trevor Dunn, along with need-no-introduction new additions Scott Ian and Dave Lombardo) who are all highly accomplished outside of this particular endeavor, and have somehow managed to survive in this business for decades without getting lame. That they sound tighter than Mike Penceās asshole is to be expected. And Mike Patton is Mike Patton for a reason ā heās one of the most hypnotic frontmen in rock history. So yeah of course they put on a fun concert.Ā Still, itās striking how the whole group ā new and original members alike! ā bring a high school bandās energy to this show, even while maintaining the decades of skill theyāve acquired. Their vibe is sophomorically-provocative and snottily-iconoclastic, but never in a way which seems churlish or forced. They have somehow melded their adolescent brains with their middle-aged bodies. Like I said, theyāre living the dream.Ā Also not surprising:Ā The Night He Came Homeis pro-shot and multi-camera, so it looks and sounds great. The lighting is akin to what youād experience in most clubs ā theatrical but not distracting or invasive. Just thought Iād mention it in case you think youāre paying to watch a Zoom stream or something. Ā Ā Also also not surprising: in addition to a ten-minute, highly entertaining series of pre-show interviews with bandās members (without giving anything away: Lombardo takes the MVP spot here), thereās an opening set by stand-up comedian and frequent Patton accomplice Neil Hamburger. That set includes some roast-style jokes about artists like Kiss, Britney Spears, The Police, and the Foo Fighters that will make you literally LOL. Itās worth the price of admission unto itself. As for everything elseā¦ did I mention THUMBS UP WOULD RECOMMEND? Donāt let anyone tell you anything. Just watch and enjoy.ā https://www.metalsucks.net/2020/10/31/mr-bungles-the-night-he-came-home-virtual-live-concert-thumbs-up-would-recommend/ Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members DEF Posted November 1, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted November 1, 2020 I've ordered The Night They Came Home based on that review. Can't miss that. I'm a huge Mr Bungle fan already so it's a no brainer with a review like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
