Mike Patton is one of the most creative artist around IMO. I think he is one of the most talented people in music today.
This guy's recording output is amazing. Mr. Bungle, Fantômas, Tomahawk, Peeping Tom, General Patton, the list goes on and on. The number of projects he has going on at any given time is unreal and he's done most everything on his own terms. Hell, Patton launched his own record label, "Ipecac" so he could do all his work without having to find label support.
Anytime I play his stuff around friends or people at work the response is almost always swift and to the point. It's either what the fuck is that, turn that shit off. Or who the fuck is that, that is brilliant.
Anyone else with me or do ya think Patton has lost a marble or two.
I'm curious if the opinions here are as sharply divided as they are among my crowd.
