Ah, what a tangled web of musical taste we weave.

Remember, music does not have to have a nice, sweet melody and harmony. It does not need to have a set rhythm or structure to be good. I like Hemophiliac because it is thought provoking and intriguing. I prefer Hemophiliac over most mainstream pop songs.

I think Naked City is definately his best stuff. I've got a pretty sweet Fred Frith/John Zorn live album, quite brutal in places

The Darkness voices: Mike Patton. Portal Anger Sphere sounds: Mike Patton. I mean, he's even voicing the main character in Bionic commando. Plus he's a guest musician on so many avant-garde albums, its insane.

Its easy to get tooo much of him these days. Sometimes its nice to take a break (although its hard too when he's in every album and now almost every video game. I just started listening to Fantomas again after a while, and it sounds great.

I found this amazing Zorn clip on you-tube, sadly only 49 seconds long, with Milford Graves (astonishing free-jazz drummer for all time), Marc Ribot (king of the skronk guitar) and Lou Reed (tone freak)... I'm wishing for an album! There's a similar clip, 7 minutes but without Milford, that is also very good, and there's an album that's just Zorn and Reed plus sometimes Laurie Anderson

I only have Naked City which is pretty cool. I need to check out more, though I'm kind of afraid :C

I just downloaded some albums by Naked city, and I am just outright amazed. I'm loving this stuff. The only bad part about finding out about all of these amazing bands, is that people at my school irritate me even more. I swear, some day, when yet another person says "Dude, that drummer-guy from Slipknot is like the best drummer alive," I'm going to snap.

I can't wait to hear more of his Masada stuff though, from what I've seen and heard, I am really interested.

YouTube - Funny Games (2008) Intro - Intro to the 2008 version of Funny Games. I found it while searching around for some Naked city songs on youtube, it uses some music from Naked city in the movie. I'm thinking of seeing the movie, I remember seeing the trailers and it looked interesting, but just never got around to watching it. One of the funniest intros I've ever seen.

Yeah the electric Masada stuff, and a lot of his Filmworks are the best. I like the stuff with Mike Patton but I know... it is pretty brutal. Beats the hell out of most metal I think. But yeah he's done everything; not all of it is totally inspired.

Check out "The big gundown" thats a good getting into Zorn album.

His Masada stuff is more assessable Check out "Live in Sevilla"

Electric Masada is my fav. Zorn group (that he plays in) both there albums kick a**.

I love "Six Litanies for Heliogabalys" thats the best Zorn/Patton cd imo
