Mr. Bungle recently performed at Knotfest Chile and it appears that frontman Mike Patton isn't a big fan of drones as he attempted to knock one out during their set.
According to Ultimate Classic Rock, the band was performing their own rendition of "Hell Awaits" by Slayer when the flying technology suddenly appeared in front of him.
The vocalist appeared to be pissed as he flipped his middle finger at the drone before gesturing for it to come near him.
When the craft got closer, Patton attempted to smash it using his microphone but was unsuccessful to do so. After the incident, he showed another insulting hand gesture before singing another cover, "Summer Breeze" by Seals and Crofts.
The singer's performance at Knotfest last December 8 in Santiago, Chile, was his first appearance since 2020. He announced that he would be taking a break from performing due to "mental health reasons" brought by the pandemic. (via Consequence Heavy)
Patton previously noted that he struggled with alcoholism during the lockdown and he was also diagnosed with agoraphobia. His absence led to Mr. Bungle and Faith No More's tour dates last year.
Speaking to The Guardian, the musician said he's been sober for a while now but he's also afraid of himself because there are "a few issues going on."
Mike Patton Not the Only Musician Furious Over Drones
In early reports, Guns N' Roses is currently touring across Australia and New Zealand and during their show at the Metricon Stadium in Gold Coast, Axl Rose noticed something from the crowd and he's not happy about it.
Taking to his official Twitter account, the frontman observed that there are a few drowns on their concert and their show in Gold Coast was "probably the most intruisive" because it distracts him from performing.
"Someone thought it was just ok to be doing that but also it coming that close in front of the stage and then actually over n' on stage," he wrote.

It appears that the rock band got in touch with authorities as Rose noted that police told them that drone flying happens more often, especially in sporting events.
The singer concluded his statement with a message to the drone operator, saying they should consider other concertgoers' feelings and they should play with their toys somewhere else.
