#primus #freethinkers
Thanks for the shoutout and for reacting to this song. Sorry that I didn't comment earlier on this video. I was asleep when you guys uploaded this video lol. I knew you guys would enjoy the grooves and the funky vibes. This song is considered either funk rock or funk metal. Other bands like them are red hot chili peppers and Faith No More. I knew the vocals would be hit or miss but yeah lol. Anyways, thanks for reacting to this song. I haven't seen you guys react to rap rock song in a while so I would suggest Play Me (ft. Nas) by Korn. Keep up the good work. Today I have to do a speech on Hinduism in India for my communication studies class. That'll be interesting lol.
MJNation Namaste 🙏
I wonder how they would feel about the vocals in Freak on a Leash
Kyle Robinson they did a reaction to it a while back
MJNation - Thank you for getting Primus on the map for the guys :).
It just popped into my head, 4 bands because of your speech/dissertation for class:

mvunit3 Yeah no problem. I knew they would love the grooves and bass.
Primus IS funny, but they're no joke
David
Best comment...
Primus sucks.
Fuckin' right!! Still my favorite
Primus are a joke, but they are not funny. *Corrected, thank you.
Primus sucks.
Primus is musically classified as Primus. They are their own genre.
yep!
Primus Sucks!
There has been a genre on Winamp, since I've had it in the late 90's early 2000's known as Primus.
Slippy Jones THERE YOU GO!
That is a perfect way to put it
If y’all don’t know primus is the band that recorded the intro song for South Park
Claypool is the nutty professor of lyrics and a maniac on the bass.
Les can and does play anything with strings.
He's the Professor Nutbutter of lyrics
Haha dope! I see what you did there! 👍
Hes a mad scientist
Hes a GOD on bass
Also primus sucks
"Jerry was a race car driver" is one of their most famous songs. And their most famous song would be their south park theam song.
And somehow, Robot Chicken
I'd say, " My name is mud." is their biggest hit. Or maybe wbb..
It’s wyonas big brown beaver. It won them a Grammy.
Winona's Big Brown Beaver.
@@JAHDUBProductions The South Park theme song.
"I don't even know what this qualify as" welcome to primus
Outside of Mr Bungle probably the strangest group of the 90's.
Whenever someone asks me, I just say "Primus is Primus."
The question is harder the deeper into the rabbit hole you go. Lol
Primus Sucks!
Been a while and you never came back too Primus! My Name is Mud, you won't regret it!
As a Primus fan, Mud is up there with Harold of the Rocks and the Pressman. Some of my favs
Yeah they need to do my name is mud
My name is MUD!!!!!
@@tdawggonzo88 wtf that song is shit
Nah “ frizzle fry” or “ here they come”
Primus is an acquired taste. Its all over once you start digging it
Damn straight
OVER.
Once that groove snags you it carries you faaaaaaar away.
Acquired the taste the second my drum teacher put on Seas of Cheese for me when I was 8.
That tapping and sliding is called Les Claypool.
No, but it's his iteration of slap bass.
Slap bass indeed, the most difficult iteration of bass guitar
I think he’s just saying that Primus embodies Claypool..., vocals, bass, lyrics, humor and style... so it’s just a play on just how AWESOME Claypool is!!! And guys, OMG SEE THEM LIVE!
In case y'all didn't know, Primus wrote the theme song for South Park
And Robot Chicken.
Ol' Malley's Alley it was directed to the gents in lost in Vegas
FYI Primus is the band that does the South Park theme song. Also Les Claypool (the bassist and singer), got his unique style because he has bluegrass/banjo style influences.
I know it doesn’t touch their legacy but anyone who’s watched South Park has heard Primus
Sean Coats primus didnt write the south park theme it was just les claypool
It clearly states Primus as do all other websites and articles on it.
www.google.com/amp/s/collider.com/south-park-theme-song-primus-trey-parker-matt-stone/%3famp here another one where it’s the creators saying how they wanted(and got) PRIMUS to perform the song
Sean Coats thanks for the information i thought it was just les
Noodle soup, the current version of the South Park theme song is Les's solo stuff with the Primus vocals overtop of it but the original version is all Primus.
Confused by Primus... mission accomplished!
Les Claypool is incredible.
Andy Haverland fucking amazing!!!!
Tommy the cat is Tom Waits. This song was a jam session with Tom who had been one of Les Claypool's (lead singer and bassist) heroes. It was basically a dream collaboration for him.
This right here
Jerry Was a Race Car Driver by Primus.
Or Wynona's Big Brown Beaver.
David Childers the toys go winding down.
Ditto! Is it Luck too.
David Childers Those Damn Blue-Collared Tweakers
Yeah, that’s a better song IMO.
"Primus sucks!"
That's actually something Primus fans say, especially at concerts. It's all pretty tongue in cheek.
Fun fact. This saying started because fans were chanting for Primus Socks at a show that had sold out iirc. I can't wait to see Oysterhead, so glad Les is putting them together again for a few 2020 shows.
we had the the chant going at the very last slayer show nov 30
Les is so good he's played with members of the Police.
Oysterhead Rocks
Except claypool is a bass god
"We're Primus and we suck." God I miss seeing Live shows....
This video came sliding down my recommendations like butter dripping off a hot biscuit
Mikael Mäkelä torilla tavataan
AAAAAWWWWWW💃💃 Y'all reacted to Primus🤘 Much ❤!!!! FYI: PRIMUS SUCKS is a term of endearment 😉
Les Claypool is an insanely talented bassist...and I will agree his voice kind of catches you off guard but it somewhat grows on you after a couple listens!! I would suggest "Mr. Krinkle" or "My Name Is Mud" by Primus :D
Les Claypool, the guy that was TOO GOOD for Metallica…
To be fair, Metallica is not a band of crazy talented musicians. Just some dudes writing thrash riffs.
@@TheGuitarifier don't say that in front of the CliffCultists.
You guys wanna jam on some Isley Brothers?
@@alexschuster1618 I wasn't really exposed to the Islet Brothers until 2014 and was amazed. The 70s was an amazing era of music talent.
@@carpediemarts705 That was Claypool's joke to Metallica during his audition. "Nobody laughed."
Jerry Was a Racecar Driver or John the Fisherman would have been better for them to start off on, as far as Primus goes.
Haunting History or “Wynona’s Big Brown Beaver”
Haunting History Yes, anything off of the Brown Album, but Mary The Icecube and Frizzle Fry, Too Many Puppies
sgt.baker?
I was gonna say Jerry was a race car driver,I agree.
My favorite to play on bass myself is Southbound Pachyderm. But, for someone trying out Primus who might have to warm up to them, anything on Frizzle Fry might be too "out there" until they get accustomed to their sound. They might enjoy Primus' cover of Metallica's "Thing That Should Not Be", or as FamilyGuyRoka6 suggested, "Wynona's Big Brown Beaver".
The singer(Les Claypool) is also the Bass Player. Amazing bass player, and yeah, he is a little odd.
Be ready for a flood of "Primus Sucks" comments. Fans flood comment sections with that as a joke :)
Great reaction. Bass is life for Primus fans. FYI, you more than likely have heard Primus before...if you've ever watched Southpark.
They did the intro to South Park but in my opinion “my name is mud” is the best!
Rusted
Mr. Krinkle is their #1 for me
@@hellbach6268 i was just gonna say the same fuckin thing haha
Especially the live Woodstock 94 version.
frog brigade did the 2nd iteration of it, still claypool.
why is everyone keep mentioning that song? am i missing the joke? that song is terrible
Les Claypool (Bassist) is one crazy bastard. But he's also probably among the top 3 Living Bassists in the world. His band is odd but the groove is always there. And you know you shouldn't like it but before you know it you can't stop moving...You should do Jerry was a Racecar Driver or Wynona's Big Brown Beaver next time you do Primus.
And yes...Their shows are awesome!
Damn it all you had to say LIVING bassists... RIP Cliff
Mitch Berg. Let's not bring Cliff Burton into this. He was mediocre at best...While he was PERFECT for Metallica he was no Stu Hamm, Jeff Berlin, Les Claypool or Jaco Pastorious...Hell he wasn't even on the same level as Flea...Again. I do agree that his loss was felt greatly for Metallica and anyone that likes their older stuff such as myself. But he was just an average metal bassist.
As proof...Les Claypool in fact auditioned for Metallica after Cliff passed. And they turned him down because he was TOO GOOD!
Primus is definitely an acquired taste. I have found the more you listen to them, the more you love them. They don't take themselves too serious, and neither should the listener. They weave some brilliant narrative throughout their albums, which is why you need to hear more than just a few random songs. Lost in Vegas for Life!!!!!!
Ye Olde Shoppe jerry was a racecar driver, fish on, my name is mudd...dmv...shake hands with beef..krinkle.....totally agree though..acquired taste..great musicians
Primus sucks!
I'm gonna see them in May :)
Ye Olde Shoppe agreed!
I agree entirely, i'm not a massive Primus fan but I do like them and as far as bass players go, not many better! They're definitely something you either love or don't really get.
when you guys are reading the lyrics and laughing, and talking about how much you enjoyed the carnival/metal/jazz/funk fusion- i'm watching someone become a fan of the absurdity that is primus.
i've watched you react to the little diddy 8:38 like 15 times. "WOOOOOOO That was hard!"
Evan Gipson Totally unique group.. First time I heard Les Claypool play I was just blown away..
If one sentence could perfectly describe primus it’s “that bass is nasty!”
You guys have no fucking idea how monumental it is that you guys dove into the upside down world that is Primus!! It only gets weirder from here.
RosettaStonedTV well said!
Casey Hallows thank ya 💥
Pantera "5 minutes alone", "Becoming", or "I'm Broken"
mesa recto just gimme!
Mouth for war?
Death-Lack of Comprehension!
Tommy the Cat is a harsh introduction to Primus. They have to be one of the most interesting and fearless bands out there and have been for a long long time. Claypool has a vocal style that reminds you of so many things but makes it all his own. He is also an absolute monster on the bass.
Check out "Jerry Was a Racecar Driver" or their cover of "Devil Went Down to Georgia" then jump into "My Name is Mud"
Or winonas big brown beaver. That’s catchy as hell
Mars Volta!
Either "Roulette Dares" or "Drunkship of Lantern"
YES
Shiiit anything from deloused
My Name is Mud and Jerry was a Racecar Driver 2 really good Primus songs
Good songs but WAY over played by none true Primus fans.
Probably would have been better for someone not knowing what they were about to listen to as well.
Jerry is the most commercial of their songs. Id say Wynona is a good option with fun lyrics and a great video.
I find it hard to choose a "bad" song among Primus albums.
Winona way better
yoo.. i haven't clicked a video so fast. my dudes, i've been waiting for this moment. haha. les claypool is a weiiiird dude. you guys definitely need to check out more, like one of their less "auctioneer" songs. i feel like 'lacquer head' would be a good next step. 'to defy the laws of tradition' is also a personal favorite of mine. but seriously, do more primus.
also, hope you guys are well.
Balls Diculous
My Name Is Mud. Course, that's my usual go-to with Primus.
Balls Diculous I say "Jilly's on Smack". It's time you guys reviewed a live song! Check out the live version Bonnaroo 2011.
Mr. Krinkle.
Antipop
To Defy The Laws of Tradition is an excellent pick. That was my introduction to Primus.
The song you were thinking of was written by the Spin Doctors
5 minutes in Primus Hell for that comparison indeed
It's a snare drum roll.........
I'd bet my soul that neither of the two bands mentioned are the inventors of it nor the first to record that specific one.
I question if these two ever watch much live music & pay attention to what the musicians are actually doing.
Yes, The Spin Doctors "Two Princes"!
Death-Crystal Mountain!
Primus - Wynona's Big Brown Beaver. I call it comedy metal.
jeremy wilson good one!!!🤣🤣🤣 They will laugh soooo hard.
Primus - John the fisherman . First song that got me into them
Or anything off Frizzle Fry. That album is brilliant.
Amen
Yes please. Came looking for this. John the Fisherman or Jerry was a Racecar Driver.
I saw these guys open for rush in 1992. What a double-bill. Currently, Primus is on tour and playing a long portion of a classic Rush tunne (Cygnus X-1). the two bands had a lot of mutual respect for each other.
My dude is right: primus is classified as, "I guess we call this metal?"
That's the actual genre.
Agreed
Tron Carter primus is not metal
Mason Hugh
you arent
Apparently, Primus is the only band on iTunes that has its own category....and it's "Primus"
Primus Jerry was a racecar driver is which I should’ve heard!!!!!
Primus has no genre. It's Primus.
The description I've heard that made the most sense is "progressive funk," but they're definitely their own thing
They’re actually considered (goblin metal)
Hence why they are trash
Back in the Winamp days there was actually just a genre called "Primus" lol
@failtolawl Well, you tried.
when i grow up i want to be one of the harvesters of the sea before my days are done i want to be a fisherman
When he was young youd not find him doing well in school, his mind would turn unto the waters
Dude, anybody who Reacts to Tommy The Cat in 2018 has reached so far into the butthole of time and space, than when you pull out your hand, you realize... you realize... WOW there is SO MUCH MUSIC OUT THERE to be fondled and groped and... and... WONDERED about. Kudos to you for WONDERING.
This is a great comment.
Tru dat
I have become horny! Reading your comment made me horny! Horny!
Would that make them Butthole Surfers??
No set up, Primus is in a league of their own.
Pink Floyd - Time
That's just one of many hits by Primus...
They have many.
Les Claypool's "singing" is definitely an acquired taste, but their instrumentation is undeniably stellar on all fronts.
Brandon Kazimir that pretty much hits the nail right on the head.
Pink floyd - time
Edin Kreso yeah it's time for some floyd
Yes, need some Floyd, but I say Comfortably Numb for that guitar solo.
I like Money personally, but Time and Comfortably Numb are great choices also.
You absolutely nailed it! I’ve been a huge fan of Primus since the early 90s, and I still can’t categorize it! The band is really just an excuse for Les Claypool to show off what a phenomenal bassist he is! But everything he does is quirky (like the South Park theme...that’s him). And if you ever get to see him live, you have to do it! Great video, and great channel guys! Now you have to check out Faith no More, Epic! Mike Patton has one of the widest vocal ranges ever recorded!
Plus INFININTY to 'Faith No More'....although, I'd choose something besides 'Epic'. That is certainly the song that put them on the larger musical map, but there are soooooo many other tunes that simply rock harder. 'The Real Thing' would be more 'epic'. ;-) ....although, I think I might even choose something from 'Angel Dust', myself.
EB
Back in the 90's I lived in a small town. The only place with CD's didn't have much choice on hand, but they had a HUGE catalog to order through. It was broken down by genre; Hip Hop, R&B, Alternative Rock, Punk, etc. Anyways, one of the categories was PRIMUS! And Primus was the only group in the genre! So apparently NOBODY knew how to classify them, lol.
Like... I'm a deathmetal person but Les man. He is hands down the best bassits of all time.
And we know about Alex Webster 😅
"That bass is nasty. . ." Welcome to Primus.
This is really the only Primus song with "auctioneer" vocals, though they never exactly sound normal. They've tended to change it up from one song to the next. If you liked this at all, you should definitely listen to some more. 'Wynona's Big Brown Beaver' might be a good choice. 'My Name Is Mud' is another fan favorite, and a bit darker and grungier. I'd also recommend 'Lee Van Cleef', which is lighter and a bit more recent, relatively speaking.
Lifragen LOVE the groove in Lee Van Cleef.
Primus is legendary!!!! Les Claypool is at the top of the list as far as bassists go, and this band is so so amazing!!!! Cool to see you guys feature them on your channel!!! Yes, it is supposed to be a bit funny, but they do have some stuff that isnt sooo comedic.
It looks like you enjoyed this one! Let's go ahead and use this as a substitution for Steel Panther 😂
nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.
Primus is amazing, but so is SP!!
Primus is at the top of my list
I'll never give up!!
You guys gonna do Epica or nah?
4:00 - It's Tom Waits talking as "Tommy". Y'all should appreciate it.
and the bartender is daniel stern, one of the burglars in home alone and the inner voice of kevin arnold in the wonder years
@@PK_Mega_Awesome Definitely not Daniel Stern. It's actually Les Claypool playing the bartender.
Schism by Tool is something you guys should definitely check out if you’re a fan of bass
Dylan Dickenson agree
Anesthesia (Pulling Teeth)
Justin Chancellor is so underrated.
Or The Pot 😁
"My Name is Mud" and "Jerry was a Racecar Driver" arguably are their best songs, but for an instrumental, try "hamburger train".
Chris Madsen John the fisherman!
Yessss! They should have done my name is mudd instead of this one. Like to let them know!
spaghetti western
Les Claypool is the man
Also, primus did the south park intro theme ;)
How did I not know this? Lol
Actually it was just Les
And Robot Chicken
@@darkdudironaji I think it was the whole band. Cause Larry has played that riff in a video before Rig Break Down I believe.
there could be no better collaboration of the two, a match made in satirical and relevant look at society
Two princes is by a band called Spin Doctors.
And they sound nothing like Primus. In fact, they may have been the Anti-Primus.
@@tchoupitoulos
Yeah, I was a bit confused by the comparison. Maybe, just because they were 90s too?
Kelly Stephenson they were comparing the snare role intros
@@tchoupitoulos - Well, both bands have songs where the bass player is slapping all over the place (Off My Line would be an example by the Spin Doctors, and the song's staccato guitar in the verse sounds similar to what Ler plays in many Primus songs).
@@stewartross13 That's not a snare roll, FYI.
Primus has always been a goofy band, but Les Claypool is a rock god and does what he wants. If you do get back to Primus I recommend Wynona's Big Brown Beaver, it's one of my faves. How about some Weird Al Yankovick for April 1st? lol
+1 for Wynona's Big Brown Beaver, the groove on that song is equally funky and I think the song itself is more musically interesting.
He’s in the running for the best bassist in history
Definitely primus- wynonas big brown beaver
Wynonas big brown beaver is a very good song. Their cover of 'the devil went down to georgia' is also a great one
That song made me go out and finally buy a double bass drum pedal for my kit. Tim Alexander is so good at what he does.
Death - Flesh And The Power It Holds
Steven Boyd yuh
Death - Overactive Imagination
I loved watching you guys experience this weird ass group for the first time.
Super glad you picked up on so many of the little things that make Primus fun and enjoyed Les' virtuoso bass skills
React to Buckethead - Soothsayer. An instrumental masterpiece played by a man with a bucket on his head.
Interesting choice. I think they'd like it, but no lyrics, also it's longish but sick track none the less
I guess if they did react to it, they could just edit the video to make it a tad shorter. They've done it previously to some other lenghty tracks.
Yes or they could do a lebetron by them
Yeah some big b, most misunderstood virtuoso in the music biz. If you like guitar, youre bound to like at least a hundred pieces from him(dudes got around 400 albums)
Id perfer a song that really encapsulates Buckethead's persona, like Welcome to Bucketheadland or We Are One with Serj, Soothsayer is one of his best though
Faith no more - the real thing class song
I say "Midlife Crisis" is a better choice.
Midlife Crisis for Sure
If you liked this, you'll love their "Wynona's big brown Beaver" song.
Oh, Spin Doctors did the "Two Princes" song 😉👌
Vanilla Milkshake LOL thanks man, Spin Doctors, I could not remember that for the life of me. It was bugging me last night. I posted a link for them if they wanna check out WBBB
Primus is famous for the bass riffs by Les Claypool. Try reacting to Primus, "My name is Mud.
Faith No More - The Real Thing
Jacob Frederick We can only hope. lol
Or Everything’s Ruined!
The song you couldn't remember the name of in the beginning was "Two Princes" by Spin Doctors.
You KNOW I clicked immediately for this one!
Entropathocracy69 I shut off a other vid to jump over here for this
Best live performance you'll ever see. I highly recommend going to one of their shows.👊
The song George was trying to think of was "Two Princes" by The Spin Doctors 😉
It was Ryan bro. George was actually mistakingly humming 'Semi-Charmed' by Third Eye Blind 😂
Spin Doctors - refrigerator car - is the titts
React to Primus- My Name Is Mud, good bass and has an interesting story.
The Great Tuco agreed. They would like the rhythm of that and it’s a bit less abstract like this one.
The Great Tuco One of my all time favorites! I hope they do it!
Kyuss - Demon Cleaner
Would love to see some Kyuss done!!
KYUSS!! I would go Green Machine or Gardenia though
I'd love Kyuss, but I'd go Supa Scoopa and the Mighty Scoop or Phototropic, maybe.
Phototrophic, Whitewater, Gardenia, all great Kyuss songs
Kyuss, Monster Magnet, Karma to Burn,....
They never went back to Primus after this did they? That's a shame.
4 years later, they finally did it.
@@theolinwox Ya, I just saw that pop up, might watch it.
If you don't get Primus there's no hope .... sigh.
Porcupine Tree - Arriving Somewhere but Not Here
Yeah! Preferably the "Arriving Somewhere..." dvd live version.
Deftones - My Own Summer !!!
I've been asking for that for months.
hell yaya!
Primus is great so many good songs, and you can not beat Les Claypool on the Bass
You guys have to listen to the live version to see just how good this song can sound 👌
God no, live is the worst version.
Primus - Jerry Was a Race Car Driver
He drove so goddamn fast.
He never did win no checkered flag
Primus sucks!
But he never did come in last
Fish on, Wynona's Big Brown Beaver, Mr Krinkle.
Interesting that no one mentioned this!!! If you know South Park... you KNOW Primus ;).
Jeffrey W you're like the 10th person. It's all good. You won't be last to mention it though.
Kyuss - Gardenia
or their version of "into the void"
oh god yes
Danny Carey from TOOL once filled in on drums for them when their drummer could not tour because of a illness
And Justin Chancellor had a cameo on their newest album
Rumor is Les tried out for Metallica after Cliff pressed away. He was turned down for being too good thinking they would hold him back.
Danny Carey also played with Les Claypool a few songs on two albums by Adrian Belew. Check out Adrian Belew's _Ampersand_ and _Writing on the Wall._
You're in for a roller coaster of Amazing songs if you keep listening to Primus.
Laquer head
Southbound pachyderm
Toys go winding down
Frizzle fry
Wyona's big brown beaver
John the fisherman
Jerry was a racecar driver
American life
My name is mud
Primus Will blow you away musically.
Primus sucks.
"Primus sucks"?
FloppyHares i feel cheated telling you this lol
But that's Primus's slogan.
doug pearson also their website iirc
Primus, sweet. The Brown Album is my fav. Shake Hands With Beef is awesome 🤘 Primus is know for their killer bass sounds. They are quirky. But they do have some groovy songs. Love your honest opinions. Great job guys as always 🤘
Brown Album is the greatest! BOB'S PARTY TIME!!!!!
brown album is my least favorite and I actually dig antipop more. But even the worst primus album is still damn good.
Yeah they gotta react to Shake Hands With Beef and Lacquer Head
Honestly a horrible first suggestion for these guys to listen to. At least suggest the songs like Jerry Was A Race Car Driver, These Damn Blue Collared Tweakers, My Name Is Mud or Mr Krinkle.
Why? Tommy the Cat is a classic and more fast paced and engaging than the others. I do love Those Damn Blue Collared Tweakers though.
Awesome reaction! You should definitely come back to Primus. There's a ton of great tunes. Jerry Was A Race Car Driver, To Defy The Laws Of Tradition, DMV, Laquerhead, Mrs, Baileen, Over The Falls.
Keep in mind this is a band that walks on stage and says, "hey we are primus and we suck"
The fans regularly chant "YOU SUCK!" At their shows
Ghost - Cirice, Secular Haze, Elizabeth
Please listen to Cirice by Ghost, I believe that this song is a good introductory to the band.
Deftones - My Own Summer (shove it) !
I frickin love you two,s commentary and choice of music to review. I was well aware of primus way before this, and give you guys my deepest respect for opening your minds to all kinds of music. So many hidden gems by bands and musicians out there that closeminded people completely miss by only listening to " what they like".
In Primus the lead guitar is the bass guitar. He tried out for Metallica and they rejected him because they said he was too good. Seriously. That happened.
He wasn't rejected because he was "too good", more due to him having his own unique playing and personal style which would be restricted within the established parameters of Metallica. He had a skate punk look at the time, and playing a funky non-metal designed bass, a poor fit all around. Primus was gaining momentum at the time, and he grew up with Kirk in El Sobrante....thus the audition. But it was never going to be a fit for either side. Can you imagine Les allowing James and Lars mixing his Bass parts down. Bring in a long hair guy, with black stretch jeans, and white high tops that could handle the Bass like Les then he gets the gig. So, not about James and Lars being intimidated because of Les being "too good", but about him not being the right fit for the band, creatively and appearance wise.
And Larry shreds on guitar. The Bass may be the centerpiece of the band, but there is a lot of great guitar work going on. Larry had jumped from the original Death Metal band Possesed to Progressive Thrash Metal Band Blind illusion....where he met Les. The SF Bay Area was a fun time back in the mid to late 80's. Lot's of great homegrown music.
Larry does shred on guitar. Primus is a great group of musicians all around. I was SO glad when Herb rejoined the band, nothing against Brain, but it didn't sound like Primus to me with Brain.
Claypool asskissers are the worst.
Regardless, he's too good for Metallica
come on he would have destroyed in metallica
Deftones passenger please great mix with Maynard from tool
i wish i could upvote this 100 times. I've been voting for this since Digital Bath.
Vinny Oso I have been requesting it for a long time as well.
I really hope they react to Passenger. Given that they liked their first deftones reaction, they should love Passenger. Plus, they like Maynard's vocals too. Definitely hope it's their next Deftones reaction.
Tom Waits is the voice of Tommy The Cat, it is worth noting.
And literally recorded on an answering machine.
i got to see primus with buckethead. amazing show.
Insane
Saw that too! Bad ass show
Saw Primus open for Rush back in the 90's. Yes, I'm old, but they rocked. Had a guy behind me to tell me to sit down during Rush. . Who sits down at a concert?! 😂
This isn't metal. Les Claypool is a bass playing alien. No one plays like him. I'm not sure Victor Wooten could keep up...
Funk metal
I'm sure Victor could 'keep up', but Victor would never come up with these lines in the first place. Les is a good, creative song writer as well as great bassist. Perhaps only Geddy Lee stands above him in Rock.
Victor Wooten is inventive in a completely different way, different genres. A bit of an apples/oranges comparison.
Jason Ferguson PRIMUS is Modern Fusion. Bringing many different kinds of music together.
PRIMUS!! Yes, you guys nailed it. Great reaction and analysis of a very awesome, very odd band. Les Clayppool is considered one of the greats when it comes to bass players, and Primus stood apart by putting the bass front and center throughout their music. Love you guys. Great take on a great band. Get some Jerry was a racecar driver going, and I think you will be a fan :)
John The Fisherman!
Led Claypool would be a cool thing. Les playin bass for Zep lol. Your typo works
What a piece of crap...
