"The best description of Mr. Bungle I've ever heard is from Warren Entner," says Mike Patton. "He says, 'I couldn't really relate to it because it was like you were having an inside joke among yourselves.'"
Entner managed Faith No More throughout their commercial peak. By the summer of 1991, their third album The Real Thing had been awarded platinum status in North America. This was largely thanks to the single Epic, whose Ralph Ziman-directed video was a near permanent fixture on MTV. And, in a canny piece of self-promotion, Patton wore a Mr. Bungle T-shirt during the song's climax. Thanks to the band’s flash of mainstream success, Warner Brothers were quick to pick up their vocalist’s high school band.
