The fact that Primus is only 3 people and not an entire army of musicians is amazing to me.
I feel something like this about Rush.
Old Les sounds like 4 or 5 bass players.
Primus is indeed Rush's dingus brother.
*Slipknot wants to know your location*
@@Jonnyboy6667 *laughs in King Crimson and Death*
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
Some of it is transposed. Lead guitar for sure.
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.
Absolutely. This is what makes them so underrated .
@@ColonelSandurz wow. Thank you. Finding few people who understand this music. Haha
@@ColonelSandurz do you think les claypool purposefully did that? or he just randomly started tapping his bass and it sounded nice?
Primus: "When I need relief I call it THC"
Vevo: *WOOF WOOF WOOF OINK*
Farm animal sex
It was mtv lol
There is something very worng if you want to bleed the that.
Yeah, that was MTV. In the early 90s everybody was still uptight about weed, so they caved in to parent groups and bleeped any references to it.
(Gamer Bros) MaximuZ712 when I need relief I call it b-e-e-r
My friends and I were in the crowd during the filming of this video. My legs were insanely sore the following day from all the jumping. Great times were had! Now my oldest son is asking if we will take him to see them next year. Hell yes we will!
Sweet!!!
If you haven't seen them live GO.
Clearly you’re an exceptional parent. I’d bet Les has really strong legs from 35 years of leg pumping live performances😂
Wasn't it at Berkeley Greek
So... Have you?
When I was a kid, primus scared the crap out of me, now as a 34 year old , I don't think I can live without this music
it's that devil's interval.
That's what Pork Soda did for me, listening through my headphones. It was dark, sounded twisted and I couldn't explain it.
Now I can't get enough.
@@christophersmith556same here with pork soda, my dad sang it forever ago and I looked it up and was like what the fuck is this. Ten years and a lot of acid and mushrooms later primus is one of my all time favorites
I've been to hell. I spell it... I spell it V E V O.
MTV was the culprit. VEVO merely picked up the original video.
I've been to hell I spell it, I spell it M T V
That works.
they were ok in the 80's.
+Evan Fedro Ha,ha,ha!!!
The dmv took so long that Les Claypool made a song while he was in there.
Do you have the time,
To sit there in line,
At the dmv and slowly loss your mind?
Me? I'm just fine.
Only 8 hours in line,
And I got mine.
A shiny new paper license, but now I'm in a bind,
That paper license I can't find
Back to the dmv for me.
What is dmv?
Every time I find my self in the DMV this song starts going through my head. Thanks Les. Thanks a lot.
You're there so often it starts to annoy you? I mean, Les said he'd screw a chimpanzee, but I didn't think he'd actually fuck one.
I decided years ago to get some druthers. Locating a willing chimpanzee was more difficult, but all in all still far less unpleasant than the DMV.
Same! It does help the time pass, though.
Could be worse: like if whenever you heard this song you were instantly transported to the DMV.
Call it pointless.
That drum sound is still among the greatest ever.
Tim Alexander is the GOAT
How the bass and drums lock together is incredible.
lol its the fact they dont lock that i find remarkable. you dont just hear the bass the song is a bass.
That is the absolutely ESSENCE of The Funk. For The Funk to be artistically enacted there must be a locking of the drums and bass, for it is the drums and bass that makes The Funk.
@@bobspence5322Les plays the bass like mfers play a standard guitar. I respect it so much and it inspired me a lot when I still playwd bass
@@bobspence5322also les seems to use the slap way more than other bass players which I fuck with
Yeah
Primus = organized chaos
Primus= Chaotic Neutral
Uncontrolled Chaos
or chaotic order?
massive preset: Chaotic
death grips
people dont realize how influential primus is. when the new black midi dropped i got so many primus vibes that i've been on a huge primus kick lately. you can hear primus in a lot of today's music.
And flagman as well, heavy inspo from primus
I came here from Streets of Rage 3 Dub Slash track,
@facepalm486they mean the band the band black midi not the genre of black midi
JONH L, welcome to the hell Y varios más primus esta ahí dejando su huella.
>Doesn't allow "THC" or "smoke"
>Allows "if I had my druthers I'd screw a chimpanzee"
Alright Vevo. I don't even smoke weed and I think that's dumb
the censorship is for you, becuz you may want to try the stuff after listening the word thc
this is what they think, but most of people vaguely know what it means
This video aired on MTV like this, same censorship sounds and all.
I hope someone actually screws a chimpanzee and blames it on this song so they could start censoring that too. Censorship is awesome.
KookYea
@@vommittt hell
This is one of a few bands I regret having never gotten to see live.
I love this band. Such a mystical,and alien quality to their songs. Always feels very novelty. Like it's too good and strange to take out the box so you just look at it and get pleasure from all the weird and magical vibes that the aesthetic of said novelty gives off.
love this description i feel the same it’s special
yeah huh
So true
Always make an appointment at the DMV. Never do a walk-in. You’ll be waiting for hours outside in a line up wrapped around the building. At least that’s how it is in the great state of NC. For a 4 hour wait, you’ll have time to hear every Primus album many times over.
''Perhaps you may know vaguely what I mean''
No, I don't, because there's a dog barking over the godamn lyrics.
"hehe, you know ;) ! "
LOL...He's saying..."I sit back and smoke away huge chunks of memory".
Red Eve
I think it's actually "I sit back and smoke away each oz. of memory" and they actually bleeped oz. which guaranteed was a tv edit.
TheCheezFace hahahahha exaclty
When I need relief I spell it THC
perhaps you may know vaguely what I mean
I sit back and smoke away huge chunks of memory
The lyrics were printed in the cassette booklet which I still have(CD in later versions).
I sat in the DMV for 2 hours today.... this song was in my head the entire time.
"I've been to hell, I spell it...
I spell it DMV."
Pat Duffys back lip in the rain with his baggy pants, puffy airwalks and Primus shirt is the most 90s thing ever
I love primus. Some don’t, but I think everyone has to agree that Les Claypools bass is at another level.
All the unique bass sounds coupled with the fact that he sings and dances around on stage is insane. They will never get old
The only people that don’t like them haven’t seen them live, never felt his bass getting physical, and can’t comprehend the true lead man les claypool is live.
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. The mayhem that occurred was more than any thrash or death metal show I had ever been to. Its like they opened a can of whip a%$# and once it was unleashed forget about it, you better know how to survive.
I wish it was 1993 so I could see RUSH and Primus at the same show.
Don't we all.
Craig Manning rush blows
@@kweogog5007 You blow. Geddy Lee is the MAIN influence of Les Claypool. Besides that, Rush is the greatest band n the galaxy and you're just a POINTLESS subatomic particle.
@@kweogog5007 I'm pretty sure he meant that in the way that "Primus Sucks"
I was there!
Seeing them live, unforgettable.
I wish i was smart decades ago
lucky green naugahyde was ok
very underrated band with one of the best bassist player in music history....
No the best bassist
@@zutzeyboi4974 have ever heard of dusan kojic koja
bassist player
Primus sucks!
Him and Jaco
I've only just discovered Primus..what an experience!!!
May your journey be blessed. These fuckers will bring me out of the deepest of funks
Discover My Ass!!!!!!!
@Faith Sheehan
Me to i heard them On Alternative Rock Radio and i was like Who the F is that Bass Player i need to check them Out.
I suggest just starting with their first sets and listen to them all front to back until you get to the present. Rinse, Repeat. Their concert cuts are excellent. Never seen them live but am thinking of this summer in Denver maybe so. Very few bands can I say I love their entire catalog of music.
Listen to the heckler
Going to the Primus and Tool show is better than going to the DMV
combining my two favourite bands... call it... heaven
+Jabberwocky8702 Jealous. However, I think those two will be around for awhile. I'll see them again some day.
+murdock wormwood I said that about the Ramones.The only place they played at in my home town was a 21+ bar and when I finally was old enough to go the bar was closed down.So then I had to go to another state to see them but had a wedding to go to so then I said"Next time".And then the lead singer Joey died.Till this day I hate weddings...
+Jabberwocky8702 its sad, what tool is goin through... with their singer an all
+Jabberwocky8702 I'm pretty sure anything is better than going to the DMV?
this is one of the greatest songs ever
Agree ! Also one of the best bands IMO. Totally unique.
It’s insane
At 54, I just discovered Primus for the first time.
I'd heard OF them but never heard them. Lived my whole life and never heard a bass.
Welcome to the herd!
Onlyfans?
Welcome to the tribe. ✌️
I'm right here with you, bud! I've known OF them since I was little, I remember my name is mud on Beavis and Butt-Head, but all these years I never thought to just check them out, give them a chance...
I always assumed Primus was just fucking bizarre, spaced out, and weird. Turns out I was right! But it's frigging awesome!! Les is a madman I love it..
PRIMUS SUCKS
Ok
That microphone had the privilege of holding up Les Claypool's Mustache.... An honor bestowed upon only a select few metallic objects, aside from his patent mustache comb. He makes 'em shine.. most the time.
'Cept when his face was trod on by this friend of his
Had the first 4 bars as my ringtone and got a call while I was at the dmv. The clerk smiled .
Same.
Things that never happened
@@ek9614 dmv ringtone deniers
@@ek9614 nah bro. The clerk was les claypool, that’s why he smiled
That’s the funniest shit ever 😂
Primus is the craziest sound I ve heard.
Fun fact: Larry recorded the guitar solo twice, one of those times he experimented with sliding his shoe up and down the neck of the guitar. And then exploding, basically re-recording it, backwards. But ultimately changed his mind and re-did it for the album recording.
In the 90's going to the DMV truly was hell. You couldn't do anything online, the place was always packed. I remember being stuck there for hours seething with rage
What evolved utopian paradise are YOU living in, good sir?!? Here in the Midwest, our DMVs are still hellish & hypertension inducing. 😢😂
Spent 4 hours at the DMV last time I went. That was less than 100 miles from les's DMV in Sebastopol.
such a great band, still sounds so fresh and unique
I'd rather listen to this song 8 hundred million times than go to the DMV again.
I wouldn't mind, but I'd need the adress for a second-hand gunshop before I even set one step in there.
I seriously think the last 30 - 40 seconds of this song is one of the greatest, most groundbreaking musical moments EVER. Unbelievable GROOVE!
Entire song
For some reason it's trippier to listen to the songs without the video. The video just isn't weird enough. If only it was as crazy as crazy as Mr. Krinkle.
Probably for publicity reasons
TheCrimsonSkull that one sausage video is pretty insane where the band is the human machine!
I think I heard the record company kinda told them they had to make a video for this song,which is probably why it came out kinda bland/half-assed
TheCrimsonSkull the sausage videos will do you weird enough
@@CriticalofOnions this video is better to me than ridiculous animation. It's basically just them playing live
I'm on the bus right now with my headphones on.. just smoked a doob before I got on here. I'm baked. and the dog barked when he says SPELL IT THC.. . made me jump haha.like " oh shit there's dog on here!" and it was just the song hahah
😂👌🤘
🤣🤣🤣
If you heard the bass and guitar parts separately, one would not think they were from the same song. When you hear them together, it sounds like it could be no other way.
i started playing guitar back in 1968, when these guys first came out I did not know what to think, today I love it, I really like that beat, strong steady drivin beat...turn it up!!!
The interplay between the drums and bass in this song....is top tier.
Is this a prequel or a sequel to "Jerry Was A Racecar Driver?"
Sequel
Fu
Both and neither
to challenge the common misconception, it is actually a prequel. the lyrics detail the pre-glamorous racing lifestyle of Jerry Jingleheimersmitch as a DMV employee before he took up the wheel in his famous '442 racecar
Yes
Someone asked me, “what genre of music is this?” I had to think long and hard. And the closest thing I could think of was:
Experimental Acid Funk and Groove
Les described it perfectly, Psychedelic Polka
One of my fave licks to play for warm up, and waiting for the guitarist to say "Is that Primus?!" You cant fail to be impressed with these dudes musicianship.
This is the weirdest, most beautiful song I've heard in a while
"I glue nads on all my action figures" - Beavis
I remember being in 6th grade discovering Primus by stealing one of my older brothers CD's. Still one of my favorite bands (good weightlifting music).
VEVO is pointless... pointleesss
+HooliganPL Why?
its a collection of music videos. Its especially useful if the musicians dont want to get around to it.
yes but thats not vevo
Exactly... VEVO wasn't even thought of when this video was produced.
We should dedicate the song from Prong-Pointless to VEVO.
Best bassist ever
HELLS YES!!!!
+Anteye LaVey Not the best, but progressive and slappiest right up there with Flea
Powderkeg I know its all opinion but to me he's better than flea.Claypool and Geddy Lee are the best.To me anyway.
I agree. Geeddy, Claypool, and of course Chris Squire.
No doubts about that bro!
Without a doubt one of the most original bands EVER!!!
This is part of the soundtrack to my childhood
The outro groves are simply immaculate
I was never really into Primus but they are one of the most original sounding bands. For some reason they just crack me up. 🥸
primus is one of the few bands that make me say ah thats why they invented the bass guitar!
Les is the best ! How about those drums though ?!?! Herb is ridiculous on the drums . Best off beat drummer I've ever heard . Let's not leave out la londe . He's ridiculous also !!
the drums are crazy, i love them in my name is mud
+joseph winne Herb is the ginseng drummer. Check out the Frizzle Fry album if you haven't already. And then listen to Suck On This.. And Seas o' Cheese.. And Pork Soda... And Tales From the Punchbowl.. And Miscellaneous Debris... And Animals Should Not Try To Act Like People.. And basically any other album that has Tim Alexander on the kit. He's the Les Claypool of drumming. Word.
+Haamurabai Greyhome you got that right ! Can't understand how people compare herb to brain or lane . Ha on a completely different level!
Not the first to lead w a bass. Not the last. Just tweaked it the best..... unique. .... badass. Grew up w this..and tweek. ...90's. ... But to say that...?
Lots of great bass players man. U only hear les cause they made it to the mainstream. ....
Ignorance is bliss....
Apparently I read few comments that were around. Or they would say "primus sux "...
That was the mantra. .... But whatever, what do I give a shit....
I SIT BACK AND SMOKE AWAY HUGE CHUNKS OF MEMORY....
Drugs are bad, m'kay.
chuckobscure Actually, recent studies prove that marijuana only temporarily affects the short-term memory, and it enhances the long-term memory.
Lindsay Glenn Not having seen those studies my guess is only when smoked in moderation...(don't get me wrong I can't wait until it's legalized but let's be real here, you're still inhaling mind-altering smoke....it's not exactly healthy)
Lindsay Glenn You must not be a South Park fan. :P
chuckobscure Nope
Primus is hilarious. Always loved them.
PRIMUS is just so damn good. These guys could play classical music if they chose to do so. They are so talented!
These guys are mad talented!! Such and original sound and direction, I wish I could’ve seen them in the 90s!!!!
Few are old enough to remember when music was so good, and the DMV was such a fucken nightmare.
Went to the DMV today. Sang this song and posted it to FB. 2023 and this song is still pure gold.
I am Brazilian. What does DMV mean?
@@peres1921Department for Motorized Vehicles. You have to register vehicles through them… get your drivers license through them… all of it. They’re notorious for being slow as fuck.
@@riley4177 Hahaha I would never have imagined
Les Claypool completely changes how he looks with every single music video
I haven't smoked weed since the mid 90's. When I did I almost always blasted Primus. Damn, this brings back a lot of missing memories.
Watching this while sitting at the DMV. I can attest to 100% of everything said during this fine tune.
In line at the dmv had to play this for everyone with their windows down
Always takes me back to Pat Duffy's part on Plan :B - Virtual Reality. Sick tune.
You have no idea how innovative that tapping was.
Pure musical joy! Thank you Les, Tim and Larry! You have provided many hours of joy!!!
Nothing like early 90's Primus.
On a Primus binge over here in Jacksonville Beach, summer 2022. My 41 year old ass needed some good ol' Claypool slaps and leg kicks.
I love primus. Most of the slap I wrote is inspired by Les. from early childhood he was on the top of the list
Why are the words THC and smoke censored in this video? What the fuck is wrong with you people? Those are not curse words!! Censorship is a plague on art and an infringement on freedom of expression. Shame on you VEVO.
19 fucking 93 is the year this song came out and I saw it on TV back then and it had the censors in place.
So the censoring was NOT done by Vevo, seriously how many of you guys actually do the math on when a song came out?
Exactly zero maths done while thinking. I keep a tally of daily maths.
+ZOMBIELANDakaUSA most Rap music literally does none of those things.
Cause they're very dangerous... Morons. Watch out for the word sex to be censored next.
Because it was 1993 and drugs were considered worse than murder, rape, tax evasion and arson combined and multiplied by a billion.
I don't know why this is one of the least viewed Primus songs. I mean, to me this is one of their best songs.
Primus never gets old.
that feel when "woof woof woof" = THC
Les claypools mom was my counselor in "HS" I was locked up from 14-18 1/2 .. And at one of the lock ups Mrs Claypool advised me not to persue a rockstar lifestyle l.. I saw her nametag and started asking questions.. It's a small world kiddos.. I eventually ended up at the big wave capital and when Rush/ Primus came to Maui I was stoked. But Deli- Mex ( Costco tamales) gave me food poisoning.. I reluctantly gave up my tickets laying on the floor lol clutching my stomach curled up in a ball .. Haha .. Man I wish I could have seen Rush & Primus together
Why would u trust costco tamales lol
Their drummer is so underrated!!! Gawdam
Love this song! An all time classic 🤘.
"Stood in line and waited, near an hour and 15!"...
Good god, that's considered a quick in and out, if you visit California DMV nowadays.
4:05 Les sportin the airwalk ones lol miss the 90s
Discovering Primus was my highlight of this week.
I don't know about you guys, but when I jump out of bed in the morning excited for the day, it's because of the likelihood I will encounter gobs of axle grease 🥰🥰
Does there really exist people who can't listen to Primus without a censor? I don't believe there is one person who needs this censored. You should be listening to lullabies and children's sing alongs if you can't handle the word "THC". Really though prove me wrong if I am, I want to know.
No shit!
Let me know if this comment was sanitized for our protection.
swerdna12069
I sprayed some peroxide on the screen. Idk if that sanitized your comment, but i tried.
was it not MTV who censored it?
Jamie Fendt
Idk about that. All I know is Vevo Censors everything, and I don't understand how they are so popular. Personally I try to avoid Vevo whenever possible.
90's....weird w that kind of thing
Bump if you're listening to this high ;D Good vibes to you dudes and dudettes.
So high and drunk I just burnt my fingers on the oven's roster instead of my bass.*bump
Crushing it after all these years. Man, the 90’s were great for music.
It's so wild how they visually look like they'd never know one another but they blend so well musically
I love how the baseline and percussion work together to make this perfect robotic drone-like essence that encapsulates the feeling of the robotic, mundane average American suburban existence. It could be playing in the background of every cul-de-sac in America as a sorta theme song as we march to work, coffee in hand in rythm to the beat

One of my all time favorite Primus songs
My god, how did I get so old.
Man, I know lol. BUT... show me someone who isn't, and I'll show you a corpse...
I love how the guitar in the background sometimes mimics the ringing of a telephone and the bassline could be a ringtone at times
Censorship? That's why Piracy is SACRED.
Agreed! What a joke...censoring THC? wow vevo! Idiots.
Got some THC here I'm about to "censor"
+carpo719 This vid aired on MTV, blame them, not vevo

First time I saw Primus I was in a small venue of about three hundred in Athens Ga.
One of the best shows I've ever seen. And I've seen a lot.
This is my favorite song by these guys :)
Primus Sucks. Much suck. So slap bass genius. If they ever tour again, catch a show by these guys. Les is a true showman.
Groovy...
the1onlydust There's no slap in here. But still you're god damn right
They tour all the time bro. They have been since 2011.
dragon spider girl
Saw them at Graspop 2 years ago. Man, that was something.
Driving past the "MVC" as the now call it in north jersey...blasting this shit
If you play it, they will come.
Primus is phenominal.Found their existence 13 months ago.Have seen them in concert. AWESOMENESS. Better late than never!!! Thanks Les!, Ler!, Herb!
