Mr. Bungle play their first shows in 20 years
The experimental rock/metal band consisting of Mike Patton, Trey Spruance, and Trevor Dunn, played their first shows in nearly two decades at LA's Fonda Theatre on Wednesday. They performed their 1986 demo tape, 'The Raging Wrath Of The Easter Bunny', joined by special guests Scott Ian (Anthrax guitarist) and Dave Lombardo (Slayer drummer). Apart from their songs, they played part of Slayer’s 'Hell Awaits' into their own 'Evil Satan', they covered 'Speak English or Die' by Scott Ian’s band Stormtroopers of Death (and changed the lyrics to "Speak Spanish or Die"), they played part of 'The Real Thing' by Mike Patton’s band Faith No More into their own 'Sudden Death', and covered 'Fuck the USA' by the Exploited. Revolver Magazine was there - "In a move at once inspired and antagonistic, one of the most quietly influential bands in metal reunited last night in Los Angeles … to play zero of the songs that made them influential".
