I am a severe Mr. Bungle fan.
I saw them live in Raleigh, NC in '95. Picture a 18 piece orchestra dressed as executioners(hoods and black pants-no shirts) and you'll get an idea of what that night was like......i think i woke up 3 days later after it.
And, how can you argue with a guy who writes a song called "Everyone I Went To High School With Is Dead"? Although, i prefer either the self-titled album or California over Disco Volante. I once heard a cassette they released in like 1986 or 1987 called "Bowl of Chiley"...it was killer. If it can be found, it's worth every dime(at least to me it is).
Oh, and Jon, i was introduced to Mr. Bungle as a type of "heavy metal carnival music", in case you're wondering what it's like.
