"whiskey" appears more than once on 'Tonic Immobility' which I previously speculated might be a double entendre for some sort of alcoholic depression.
That's actually rather astute and makes sense. It wouldn't surprise me thinking about it.
I'm real curious to find out what's really going on with him because FNM pointed out how shitty they were having to cancel all their shows in September after they had already been rehearsing for a couple of weeks. That's how you know shit's gone down.
I wonder if we will ever get a proper explanation. I imagine not but as a fan would like to.
Cheers thanks for that. I probably shouldn't comment without listening yet but that is pretty telling in itself basically a shot at Patton's professionalism or lack of.
I know Buzz took all the photos for the Bungle reunion stuff and obviously the Melvins are still on Ipecac but I do remember reading somewhere that at one point Buzz and Patton didn't speak for years.
That's what i thought was a bit odd. Those photos Buzz took for Mr Bungle are pretty recent so it seems a bit weird. I think we all know that Buzz really isn't the messing around kind of guy. As he says himself "envision and execute" - he just gets down to business with no room for nonsense or bullshit. I can imagine how frustrating it would be for someone like that to come up against road blocks of any nature.
I had the feeling that Buzz would have worked a lot harder with Fantomas, both live and on studio. I appreciate this side of Buzz a lot, he's a true professional
Most definitely. He has mentioned a few times that he would like to do more with Fantomas but that it was Patton's thing and he didn't see it happening. A shame all round as far as i see it.
Okay I just watched what he said about Patton and yeah that didn't sound too good. Talking about FNM and Bungle having to cancel stuff and how frustrating Patton can be to work with and him dealing with a number of personal issues at the moment. Doesn't sound too good at all.
It really doesn't does it. I think i may have mentioned this before, but in a way i am surprised about this with Patton. Obviously no one knows how things are going behind the facade or in a persons private life, but Mike always struck me as fairly sensible like Buzz. Someone who wasn't prone to the trappings of rock stardom.
we all think about Fantomas as a cult band because they released just a few (killer) albums
Yes, if they came out with something new and terrible it would disappoint me a lot. It sort of ended on a perfect note with the Bugs Bunny line at the very end of 'Suspended Animation' too.
