Mr. Bungle reuniting for 3 shows...

... playing songs from the demo they made when they were 16, accompanied by Dave Lombardo (Slayer drums) and Scott Ian (Anthrax guitar).

Crazy.

How the hell was Trey Spruance's right hand that fast at 16?  Ridiculous.

cool move to have reunion tour to only play your first demo -

European tour pls. 

Hopefully it'll rekindle something between them and there will be new Bungle material to follow.

It would be amazing if there was an opening Secret Chiefs 3 set. Really hope they end up adding more dates, I want a Seattle show badly.

Got to see them in 1999 on the California album tour, very talented group of musicians

Holy shit. HOLY SHIT! This is absolutely bonkers! The copy in that link gave me the tingles, with Mr. Bungle idolizing Slayer, Anthrax, SOD, etc. and then playing with them. 

I may need to find my way down to SF or LA on one of those dates - just wish ticket sales weren't so far in advance tbh. SHIT!

P.S. I was lucky to catch them on the California tour in Houston, when I lived there. Not sure why I hadn't caught them before that. or FNM for that matter, who I never saw live until the reunion a few years back.

I'm going to try to get tickets for the SF show.

I may, also, and just sell them if I can't make it.

My buddy (the biggest, life-long bungle fan I’ve ever met, by a mile) tried buying tickets in the Presale but it sold out to bots instantly. 

Fuck that. 

What what waaaaaat??  Shit I did not know there was a presale.  Lame.

Goddammit! That's not a good sign.

I agree.

And thank fuck about presale tickets being limited.  I guess that should have been a given really.  

Oh, and apparently a second date has been added to each city!

Ugh, only "resale" tix left, $175 a pop.  I can't do it.

No love for Lombardo ? He’s a top class drummer in my book and he was a member of the fantomas line up so why not ?

Yeah, he did some good work in Fantomas.  I still think someone with a little more finesse for jazz stuff would be better for bungle.  They'd still have to be able to pummel of course.

Got in the queue for tix earlier today and after getting a message that tix were no longer available, I decided not to keep trying. Ultimately I just don't wanna spend the money on the trip simply for that. 

blah tried for both bk dates

sold out

Billy Rymer, the guy who played drums on the last four Dillinger Escape Plan albums, would be perfect.  And since DEP is no more, could be a possibility imho tyvm.
