In an unexpected turn of events, Mike Patton has once again revisited the 1999 Mr. Bungle track “Retrovertigo” live, this time with AVTT/PTTN. That latter endeavor is Patton‘s folky Americana project with folk rock outfit The Avett Brothers. After close to 26 years, Patton dusted off that track live with Mr. Bungle this past January, marking its first performance with that band since 2000. Amid that same Latin American tour, Mr. Bungle would also later play the song live with M. Shadows, vocalist of their then tourmates Avenged Sevenfold.
Yesterday’s (April 10th) AVTT/PTTN set at the Louisville Palace Theatre in Louisville, KY didn’t stop at Mr. Bungle however, with covers of Patton‘s most famous band, Faith No More, also being dropped into the set, among others. “Ashes To Ashes” and “Digging The Grave” from the latter alternative metal icons were played, as was a cover of “Easy” by the Commodores — a song Faith No More covered back in the early 90s.
Fan-filmed footage from some highlights from last night’s set can be seen below. Sadly, however, it would appear that Faith No More‘s ongoing absence may be permanent, with recent commentary from Patton himself seemingly indicating the band have once again been laid to rest.
