After crowd-shot footage of Mike Patton’s onstage battle with a drone went viral, video taken from the drone itself has emerged on YouTube.

The clip below, uploaded by a user named Sebastian Yañez, starts with the drone providing an aerial view of the MR. BUNGLE performance at Knotfest Chile. It doesn’t take long for the device to fly down to Patton’s level, at which point the rocker lures then attacks the drone.

MR. BUNGLE frontman Mike Patton attempted to knock a drone out of the sky during the band's Dec. 11 performance at Knotfest Chile.

As you can see in ">this video, Patton and his bandmates were in the midst of covering SLAYER's "Hell Awaits" when the drone flew directly into his line of vision. After flipping his middle finger at the craft, Patton gestured for it to fly closer. When it obliged, he unsuccessfully attempted to knock the drone out of the air with his microphone. Patton then offered up another insulting hand gesture and led the band into their next genre-bending cover, Seals and Crofts' "Summer Breeze."
