It was supposed to be released on June 8, 1999; but Warner Bros. chose instead to release the similarly-titled Californication by the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Allegedly, this was done out of fear of retribution from Anthony Kiedis. This is the reason for the refueling of the tensions between the two bands - both Patton and Kiedis had forgotten about the Faith No More video incident of 1990 (where Kiedis accused Patton of stealing his style). Californication is the seventh album by the Red Hot Chili Peppers, released on June 8, 1999 (see 1999 in music) John Frusciante, their former guitarist from the Blood Sugar Sex Magik days, returned to the band replacing Dave Navarro, the former guitarist of the alternative band Janes Addiction. ...

California is the final release (outside of bootlegged live recordings from 1999 and 2000) from Mr. Bungle, as they have officially disbanded.
