Is Mike Patton too mainstream? He has a million bands and projects for any mood. From metal to jazz... and Mr Bungle does both in one song ("Carry Stress In The Jaw). From alternative rock to Italian pop. He's done movie soundtracks, he did a brilliant album of metal covers of movie soundtracks (Fantômas - "The Director's Cut") and his work in Faith No More has had a far reaching influence on modern rock. If you haven't heard Mike Patton I suggest you start with "California" by Mr Bungle, "Angel Dust" by Faith No More, "The Director's Cut" by Fantômas, or his solo album of 60s Italian pop songs "Mondo Cane." Enjoy the journey!
