    How the hell is he playing these complecated bass licks and doing such tongue twister vocals at the same time? Holy shit!

    This is probably the best Claypool clip on RUclips because it's back when Claypool wasn't completely immune to stage-fright. Seeing him belt out at 2:06... right before your eyes you see his vulnerability diminish and his rhythmic patters are more in the pocket and inspirational. And we of course see the goofiness that we all love about him come out. Beautiful. Thanks for this upload.

    Musical comedians and I love it. These guys are more talented than a lot of the crap you hear today. Take it from a drummer of 32 years and Rush fan for 28. True musicianship!

  • @valentin80
    @valentin80 18 лет назад +1

    The coordination of Claypool is incredible... to keep that rithm and speak in the same time... I have all the respect for such an incredible artist... Les is unique among other bassists... he is a style creator.

    Todd Huth was the orignal guitarist when Primus was known as Sausage in the late 80's. He also wrote a lot of the songs then, and continued to. Check the credits on the albums. Les jams with a ton of people. The original drummer was Jay Lane aka Rhino Man. He's a fantastic drummer and definitely knew what Claypool was going for. Jay Lane still jams with Claypool and you'll find his drumming on many tracks through Claypool's career.

    Primus still tours as of 07" and they did the same YYZ intro to John the Fisherman on the Suck on This album witch is all live and the only place that i know of you can hear Jellikit witch is an awesome song and besides the "hidden track" on Antipop you can hear The Heckler also awesome for people lookin for some Vintage primus.

  • @myke104uk
    @myke104uk 16 лет назад

    Brain was in fact the original drummer before Primus got records out. I cant remember why, but he left, Herb took over and was there for many a year before Brain rejoined for the Brown Album. Of course now it has yet again switched back.

    Scheduling conflicts prevented Tom Waits from appearing in the original "Tommy the Cat" video. He was actually going to play the bartender for the shoot.

  • @Vpmatt

    That's how they started their first ever album - live album "Suck on This" from 1989, with YYZ, before going into "John The Fisherman" (their first single).
