jbentley0025 Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 You know, it's always perplexed me. Mr Bungle has everything. It covers just about every style I can think of, and invents a few more. Usually, it covers every style in one tune. The early stuff did, anyway. I guess the fact that you can't use filters on the amplified sound might be a barrier. Well, it won't be one for long, hopefully. I want to hear Bungle done well, and I'm prepared to legalize every possible sound modification excluding pitch correction, and slotting beats. It's time to start doing the tunes that my generation listened to growing up. selfishly yours, JBentley Quote

frontline99 Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 I really can't tell which posts were sarcasm and which were not. I think the first post was at least 67.531% serious, but some of the replies weren't. At least some people had the common sense to get really ###### off about it. Quote

I mean cmon, all the time signature changes would be a visual judges DREAM. They cover multiple genres in one song: metal, hard rock, death metal, headbanger... the early stuff did anyway. All you liberals just dont know good music. I guess the fact that DCI might attract a motley type crowd to some events, scaring off the real fans might be a barrier. Its time for corps to start playing real music. [/sarcasm] Quote

jbentley0025 Posted November 19, 2008 Author Posted November 19, 2008 Man, I think the last Bungle album came out in '99. It was called California, and is easily in my top five albums that I've experienced. I've listened to quite a bit of music, too. I still have all my mom and dad's vinyl from their adolescence (class of '77). Oh yeah, I have all their '80's cocaine music, too. Throw in my step-dad's King Crimson, acid-riddled college experience, and that's where I started buying my own music. Oh, and Johnny Cash. Duh. I know Bungle isn't the most accessible thing out there, but there is always a melody. You just have to listen through the microphone in the gas-mask, distortion, and whatever other effects Patton's running. You definitely can't put it on, and try to read, bust out your taxes, or focus on your youngest child's first craft project presentation. I'm not interested in comfort music. There are many others who share this view. I'd just like a little variety, that's all. I played the G-bugles, and I'm jealous as hell of you guys that get to play the high quality deals. I am a loud mellophone player (with great quality) regardless of the instrument. It would have been nice to have a horn that wasn't all over the road like the butchered, fallen on, moldy, tarnished, no tuning slide action having Kanstul I payed $1400 bucks to play for a season. The saddest part is that was the best G horn I performed on. I played a 2 valve chrome crap-box one summer there was no food.. I mean, that I marched. As far as my voting history, I voted for the progressive ticket including all the electronic stuff at the DCI rules congress a year ago. I'm weird like that. The only way you're going to have any effect on change is to embrace it while you're trying to steer the future. I don't have a strangle hold on the activity, yet. So, don't blast the hell out of me. I grew up in it, and was a part of the transition from beat downs to actual attempts at quality education. I thrive in both, but one is way more enjoyable. I seriously doubt the Cadets are going to play Bungle in any recognizable way. I've been wrong before, and we all know the Cadets have taken a chance or two in the past. It'll probably be ten times creepier than the Zone. I'd love that. I'm tired of the same emotions from drum corps shows. Everyone knows sad, happy, and angry. Isn't that feeling of, "What the hell is going on, and why do I have spinal chills in July?", as valid a feeling as the "easy three?" Anyway, Viva La Bungle!! That band is still stirring up a fun conversation after all these years. JBentley Quote

Sooo your parents were teens in the 70s, did i get that? Buddy, lotta people on here aged out before you were even an idea. I don't claim to know everything about classic drum corps, which is why I stay out of those threads. You are WAYYY out of your experience league here. I am a loud mellophone player (with great quality) regardless of the instrument. Hi, I'm Jimmy Hoffa. Nice to meet you. Edited November 19, 2008 by 08Hawkeye Quote
