    my favorite thing about primus is how they make it seem like they're playing every single note incorrectly and yet it's still some of the most virtuosic shit out there

      It's their constant use of the diminished 5th. It's what gave them their sound. This bass riff is a perfect example of that.

    Let me explain something, Primus shows back in the day were no joke. We're talking ambulances parked outside the club it was that serious.

Its like they opened a can of whip a%$# and once it was unleashed forget about it, you better know how to survive.
