As a huge fan of Mr Bungle, Mike Patton and Frank Zappa - I have never heard this before, but I love everything about it.

The real insult here is calling John Zorn ‘saxophonist for Zappa’ (edit: which isn't even true). Zorn was a figurehead of punky jazz-fusion in the eighties' and nineties' NYC no-wave scene, and had/was in like fifty projects including seminal ‘Naked City’ and then jazzcore band Painkiller (with Bill Laswell and Mick Harris, the latter formerly of Napalm Death). He also has his own label Tzadik, releasing traditional Jewish music among other stuff.

Patton was on at least seventeen of Zorn's albums and several non-album releases, and was a guest in Painkiller. Likewise, Zorn was likely on multiple albums by Patton and his projects.

P.S. Zorn has also produced Mr. Bungle's first album.

I love Goodbye Sober Day, I didn’t know about the beef with RHCP so that was a fun history lesson

Oh, yeah, that's the guy who was the Anger Sphere in Valve's Portal.

If I recall correctly kiedis used his connections to get bungle cancelled from some festivals and also got California delayed.

Such a shitty tiny little person who hates that Patton is 100 times the singer than he could ever be. Also Mike seems like he's not a junkie and generally a decent and nice guy which can not be said about Anthony.

I love that album. Once I took a hike around Edinburgh to listen to the entire Bungle discography in order.

One of the biggest regrets I carry today was missing Bungle in their prime. I saw FNM and Fantomas but unfortunately didn’t get off my arse to see Mr Bungle and I should have.

For your post, there was stuff in there I didn’t know. I’d heard about the parody show but that was the first time I watched video of it. As for the meaning of California, yeah I hadn’t heard that. Both California and Disco Volante are masterpieces. Warner Bros thought they were getting another marketable FNM lmao

Thanks for the step back in time. They were great times that we will never see again.

he also had an incredibly weird childhood too. no wonder he grew up to be a creep/freak

Yes. That is relevant. This isn't.

One exception from the horrifying classic rock era is Pink Floyd. At least nothing that I am aware of from those guys.

Tool's members are pretty boring... Except Maynard .. Who plays in multiple bands, runs a winery/vineyard, runs several businesses, and yells at people to get off his lawn.....

But I like the cranberries :<

Can confirm. Child of the 80s. Absolutely huge Michael Jackson fan. Not so much now.

Insane.

We put a dude from my hometown in prison for doing that shit.

If a consenting young adult wants to be with an old person, more power to them, but these are actually gross and should put him in jail

Then talk about that, not him currently dating an adult woman.

It makes no sense. She's an adult. If we said she wasn't permitted to date him there would be protests about her having the right to do as she chooses. And this does nothing but smear her name publicly as well as his.

This being news isn't likely to be something that makes her feel better or happier or not judged by all of society. It's damaging and for no good reason.

They’re probably more qualified to talk about predatory creeps in Hollywood and the music scene than most then.

Yeah i hate this shit. You can think it's skeevy on a personal level, but she's an adult, she gave consent, and she can make her own decisions. Infantilising women is not the way to go.

Yeah, seriously, what the fuck is wrong with people? A 60 year old sniffing around teenagers and young 20 year olds are creeps and sleezebags. It is not laudable, nor is it "evolutionarily normal", it is a power imbalance. We are humans, not base animals. We can choose to be better.

Man at first I did not understand cause Im late and sorted for score. Its like those Iceberg videos in here the further down you go, the more depressing it gets.

The sexism and pedophilia openly embraced on Lemmy almost pushed me away completely when I first came here. I'm trying to be the change I want to see here instead.

If people wanna talk about his underage girlfriends from forty years ago have at it. Acting like this is at all the same thing is infantilizing the adult woman he's dating, and it just shows how utterly broken some people's minds are when the subject of sex comes up.

I think she's trying to open a dialog about his predilection to younger women. Break the ice with an icky agegap, when they have your attention bring up the stat rape.
