I love Patton. Always have and always will. I wouldn't quite take his spunk in the mouth these days, but many of your guys' criticisms seem a tad unjust. Mike falls victim of being hailed above and beyond by his fans who praise him as the second-coming of Christ, when the dude is really just a pretty damn good singer who likes to explore the true capabilities of his own vocal chords. I mean, there has to be a reason why so many great artists choose to work with him.
And with that being said...let's enjoy some Mondo Cane.
