Mike Patton the Lonely Rager 'Word Of The Day' Supercut

During July we have been treated to Spanish lessons with Mike Patton via Revolver Magazine. You can now relearn each lesson with The Lonely Rager via the supercut version. Mike Patton is best known as the singer of Faith No More, Mr. Bungle, Tomahawk, Fantomas and Dead Cross, but he also goes by The Lonely Rager, a quarantine alter ego introduced with a ripping lockdown performance of "Speak Spanish or Die" with members of S.O.D. In the spirit of the latter song, for one mont

Mr. Bungle | Kerrang! - July 20th 1991

When you encounter the gaggle of lunatics who make up insane San Francisco metallers Mr. Bungle, just don't mention the F-word. There's no funk here, insist Mike Patton and his cohorts -- just a lot of John Zorn-produced weirdness, not to mention masturbation. But will the spectre of Faith No More hinder the unbalanced sextet forever, wonders MIKE GITTER, or will they manage to duck the contractual hassles and be left to their own devices -- that is, whiffing their own farts?

Mike Patton In Conversation With Andrew Clarke For Sofasonic Festival

Patton talks to UK chef and restaurateur Andrew Clarke about food and places to eat around the world, and food. We know that the FNM front man does not enjoy being in front of a camera these days and his only interviews seem to be under unique circumstances - this conversation for Sofasonic Festival was exactly that. Patton talked with enthusiasm and humour for an hour with the London based chef and both their extensive knowledge of great restaurants around the world was obvi

Mike Patton Deathmatch The Winner!

Over the last ten days you have been voting to crown the ultimate Mike Patton album and we have a winner. We started out with 32 albums featuring Patton including FNM, Mr. Bungle, Fantômas, Tomahawk, Peeping Tom, Dead Cross, Mondo Cane and his soundtrack work. FNM dominated the polls and other heavy weights were soon history. Of course these kind of knock out competitions are unbalanced and the results are in no way a measure of the man of 1000 voices greatest recordings - it

Disco Volante 62% VS The Director's Cut 38% This was a good battle, possibly one of the most balanced in this ridiculous competition. Just remind us - who's ide

After the success of our Faith No More Battle of the Songs we decided to throw a Mike Patton poll. Yeah, yeah this entire exercise is inaccurate... but it's fun and we totally get a chance to use awesome fonts and logos in the design process.

Mike Patton's 'Mondo Cane' Was Released 10 Years Ago!

One of Mike Patton's most adventurous and extravagant recordings The Mondo Cane album was released on May 4th, 2010. "A period piece love letter to Italy." How the Mondo Cane album was realised is a touching story, a record almost 16 years in the making. It all started in 1994 when Patton met and married the Italian artist Cristina Titi Zuccatosta. Patton moved with her to Bologna, soon became immersed in the local Italian culture and he began to learn the language. “The gr

Could 2020 Be Mike Patton’s Busiest Year Yet?

It’s no secret that Mike Patton likes to stay active, but with countless projects on the go could this year be the most Patton-tastic ever? In late 2019 Patton’s manager and partner in crime at Ipecac, Greg Werckman, told us the man of a thousand voices "had never been busier". So far this statement is proving to be accurate. Just yesterday Michael Crain, guitarist for Dead Cross, shared two pictures on social media of himself and Patton with the caption “Like two kids in a

Mike Patton and Toodles

Shit terrorist was the phrase coined by Mike Patton himself in 1992 t describe his unsanitary behaviour, but hidden amongst the turd eating and golden showers was a more unnerving storyline... During 1992 Patton shed his weather worn pin-up frat boy skin and emerged as a scruffy thrift shop degenerate who rather unexpectedly stole our hearts. His lovable cartoon character antics were replaced by stomach churning mischief that gave us all a laugh at the expense of stereotype r
