To put this in perspective, Les and Kirk from Metallica were friends in high school. Kirk is actually in the John the Fisherman video. Les was invited to audition for bass after Cliff died. It was very apparent to all parties involved that Les was destined for different things. Chops for days but way too weird for Metallica. But the music world is all the better for it.
Les and Larry were in Blind Illusion for their debut album, The Sane Asylum (as thrash metal classic) and Larry was a founding member of Possessed (he joined Blind Illusion when Possessed got disbanded in 1987), one of the first death metal bands. Les and especially Larry (vis a vis Larry and Kirk having Joe Satriani as their guitar teacher) have ties to just about every band in the early thrash, shred, and death metal scenes.
Kirk and Larry were friends too. They had the same guitar teacher. Les and Larry were both in the thrash metal band Blind Illusion before Primus, so Les can play bass for a thrash band
I always just remember Les saying he went in and asked if they knew any Isley Brothers tunes and nobody thought it was funny.
@El Dandy so did they 😅
Im glad yall listened
I love Primus. Claypool's voice was weird to me at first, but it grew on me. I couldn't picture Primus with any other voice.
Tommy the cat, that was the one way back in the day that hooked me.
@@UncleDaddy76 HEY BABAYYYY
Tim Alexander is one of the greatest drummers of all time.
Totally agree!
That's Herb, the Ginseng drummer!
He’s amazing to hear live.
Not to discount Brian Mantia, but it always amused me when Les would play with Jay Lane vs. Tim Alexander and he's always tried to get Tim to play Jay's "hop" style and Jay to play Tim's "gorilla" style. I like Jay and Brian, but Tim is PRIMUS Primus. When he came back for the Animals EP, he was a lock.
I want my primus with herb.
The trick with Les’s voice, is to find a song you can really groove to, then his voice grows on you and it becomes part of the mood of the song, and essential to it.
The guitar never gets enough love on their tracks.
How would it when Les is such a beast on the bass. You've gotta play to your strengths.
I'm sure he and Alex Lifeson have had a few beers over that.
Fr though.
Like Primus is Primus because of the interplay between Les and Ler. And the different flavors are the different drummers.
Jay Lane, Herb, Brian.
Larry is the best...
Perfectly dissonant
Primus live is worth it. I wasn't even a fan until I saw them live & it all changed.
Same exact story for me. One of the best shows I ever saw. They blew me away. Been a fan of the recorded output ever since.
Seen them in Kentucky in 2022...
Les and Larry had out the double guitar and bass......
This album bumps so hard. Frizzle Fry is a masterpiece. Tim “herb”
Alexander is phenomenal
Oh, would you look at that, nice meeting you here
@@theolinwox 🤘🔥
My favorite Primus album. From Laws of Tradition to Skinny Pete the whole album goes so hard.
Herb is, IMO, one of the most underrated drummers of all time.
Also, please do Clutch- Electric Worry.
I saw primus live recently for the first time in 15 years, and they jam harder than ever, they also did a full play-through of RUSH's "A farewell to Kings" album. I took my kids and a lot of his friends that are all musicians, and their minds were blown and came out of it inspired to get back home and jam!
Saw that show in Austin and San Antonio.
Saw it in Kentucky
@@rexk1962 same, it was a great night! great venue as well.
Laquerhead is another awesome Primus song! Fantastic groove and really cool video. But, my favorite is DMV. It's a song about what things you'd rather do than go to the Department of Motor Vehicles office.
Yeah - first song i heard from Primus and instant love for me 😃
Too Many Puppies you’ll love. Also I’ve always considered primus like a goofy heavy metal rush 😂
That's awesome! I've always felt the same way!
Definitely how I've always thought about them as well.
Too Many Puppies for the win
Too many pupupupupupu..puppies.
*DANALANALA DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DANALANALA DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN*
Seconding that Too Many Puppies is something the guys will dig. Great song.
"Southbound Pachyderm" is a bad ass song that sits in the groove without goofy vocals.
Really straight forward and the drummer has a fill frenzy at the end within the mellow groove. I recommend that song next if you do another Primus reaction.
this is the right move guys. fr
“American Life” is another song that I think keeps the goofiness to a minimum. But I agree that “Southbound Pachyderm” is probably the best choice.
seconded
Maybe the hallucinogenetics version
Nature Boy is comedic gold with a great bass line as well lol
I love Primus. I look at them similar to Rush, Rush is amazing but it took me a long time to tolerate the vocals. Les' vocals take awhile to appreciate. Instrumental wise Amazing.
Primus Sucks!!!
Les Claypool is a beast but he’s got a goofy ass singing voice. I wouldn’t have it any other way though.
Primus is hillbilly skate punk bonfire rager music. It's a vibe, and I love it.
I think it might help these guys a bit to think of Primus as a more light hearted Tool. Primus and Tool are very similar bands in many ways, they have a lot of the same influences. They’re kinda a yin to the other’s yang, Tool occupy the dark introspective shadow of self exploration, Primus are a bit more overt in playfulness with a little bit more explicit virtuosity. Tool plays with an element of humor as a counterweight, Primus plays with some darker themes at times as their counter.
Both excellent bands.
Tim "Herb" Alexander played the song The Hallow for Maynard's other band A Perfect Circle. In fact Tim was supposed to be the original drummer for APC. But due to scheduling conflicts he was only able to record one of their songs.
Tool makes us ponder our existence, Primus makes us laugh at it. Both are my top 2 favorites! Good taste!
@@guzziguy2011 well said.
This record is a pure banger from front to back. Not a single bad track.
They can't all be zingers.....😅😅😅
Longtime Primus fan here. Never thought I'd see a reaction to this one! Awesome.
“My Name is Mud” is the song that made be buy my first Primus album.
A fellow Mandelbrot pfp in a Primus comment section.
TO MANY PUPUPUPUPUPU PUPPIES
The bounce on the floor of a Primus concert is indescribable. You have to experience it to understand. Every song is just a jam that you can bounce to. They still perform. If you get the chance, I highly recommend it.
They saw them live and only cared about Mastadon. It hurt my soul...
Lost count of how many times I've seen them since the 90s.
@@aaronvaldez8470 I've been fortunate to have seen Primus live five times in my life. Actually, more than any other band. Every show was great, but the one right after the Brown Album was just amazing.
This is definitely my favorite Primus album. Check out "Too many Puppies" for a more serious note, or "The Toys are Winding Down" for a slower groove. Primus is definitely an acquired taste😉💪👍
It's PUDDING TIME CHILDREN!!
DMV - Such a great song about just standing in line at the DMV. Love Primus! Check out Mr. Krinkle if you haven't already.
I think a lot of the draw for Primus was the masterful musicianship plus some crazy ass lyrics and vocals that are just SOO different than anything else out there.
Great choice to kick off redemption. I think Claypool's vocals are always going to be a fly in the ointment and I don't expect them to dig Jerry was a Racecar Driver but hopefully they get to Wynonna.
What's interesting to me is that Claypool's vocals remind me of Mustaine's, but it seems that people are more tolerant of Dave's vocals because of the style of music Megadeth plays... Which makes no sense to me, considering the comedy of Primus.
@@blackwater009 I love Megadeth, Jane's Addiction, Primus, and Smashing Pumpkins, and all four have the same issue. New listeners will either push through the vocals or be turned off immediately. But if you become a fan the vocals actually become an attribute rather than a drawback. For better or worse, no one else sounds like them.
It's almost like he grew up listening to a trio rock group with vocals as an afterthought...
Never rush to judgement.
@@MrRezRising I see what you did there.
Yes!
I saw Primus when they opened for Rush on the Presto tour in 1990. Two 3 man bands! Sick!
I saw that tour! It was amazing.
My first Rush tour. Saw them in Worcester, MA, May 10th 1990.
Loved the inflatable rabbits.
Les is an alien lifeform sent to show us what a bass can do. Even watching how he interfaces with the instrument is unusual, slightly unsettling, and truly awe-inspiring.
love this comment
Les is the only bassist that I can compare to Flea of RHCP. both are insanely talented and bring their music on different levels.
Seen Primus live 5 times, and they do not disappoint.
Thats just the way Les sings, his music is incredible, unbelievable his vocals grow on you.
Les is probably the most acquired taste vocalist there is. You just have to rock it out for the instrumentals until it goes down smooth.
Yeah eventually you surrender to the goofiness. This is how every Primus fan starts out lol. At this point they're my favorite band.
Y'all might as well do Groundhog's Day. One of the heaviest BASS drops in music. Also, Eleven is one you guys might enjoy.
Appreciate that content and consistency 🙏🏽 much love y’all dope and got me listening to new shit that I ain’t ever heard before
That was cool. I don't know that I've heard this one before but it was usual Primus awesome weirdness lol. I do really hate that My Name Is Mud didn't win the bid for redemption. It was the first song I heard from them and still my favorite song by them
Saw Primus cover the A Farewell To Kings album by Rush at the famed Ryman Auditorium in Nashville and legit couldn’t find a friend to go. A subset of a subset of musical taste. Male to female ratio was 100:1. The pounding bass and drums live was unbelievable. It was fantastic!
I wanted to see that tour so bad, but...my husband will tolerate and indulge me in my eclectic musical tastes, but he loathes Primus AND Rush with the heat of a thousand suns...so that show was a bridge too far. I feel your pain! I'm like wtf is wrong with people not to love this ear candy? But then I don't find George Clooney or Sean Connery attractive. 🤷♀️
Too many puppies is a straight banger with no comedy. Highly recommended. Also American life has the best bass line ever recorded and is another serious song.
Sergeant baker is another fantastic song that never gets any love. The vocals are not too goofy but he's singing from the perspective of the sergeant in this one.
I dunno, I giggle every time when Les goes "too many paaaauuuuuuuupppppiiiieeeeessss"
@@celica49 The message of the song kills the joke for me I guess.
@@danjackson1016 it's a lil comical lol but what's the message?
@@jakedasnake9021 I'm assuming you're familiar with the term "dogs of war". He's playing on that to say that too many young people are being brainwashed by the army and dying in wars that they shouldn't be a part of in the first place.
Everyone seems to love that song but it's on of theirs I don't vibe to.
There's a reason Les Claypool is considered one of the best bassists in the world, not one of the best vocalists.
best bassist, YES, best vocalist?? Oh Hell No! LOL
Same for Geddy Lee
He's a great vocalist on his voice tune and pace but I admit he isn't a great singer. He's slaying the vocal parts on the cover of "Intruder", but not the singing part.
There are better bassits than Les, who are underrated! Steve Di Giorgio, Adam 'Nolly' Getgood, Dave Ellefson, Ron Broder.
@@lez0n geddy is perfect for rush tho
I saw them in in '18, and honestly, they were the best band I have ever seen when it comes to sounding the same live, as their recordings. It was such an incredible concert! Primus is a must see for anyone that digs incredible musicianship! 👍
Les Claypool is the reason that I started playing bass. This song is a big part of it too. The guy slaps that bass harder than any mfin thing.
Sometimes Primus is too silly for their own good. But when primus gets down to business, nobody’s slapping harder.
The toys go winding down has that beat and tempo like the 1st half of this song and "too many puppies" does also.
I was absolutely lucky to have been introduced to Primus when I got tickets to Rush in 1991. They blew my mind live! After the concert my roommate and I went straight to A&B Sound and bought Frizzle Fry. I still to this day see the parallels between my love of Rush and Primus. Insane musicianship with hard to get used to lyrics. They just have both grown on me over time.
Les’ vocals are a lot like beer. Some take to it immediately, others acquire the taste, some never like it.
Love to see you guys take on, “Nature Boy,” from Pork Soda album.
THats my favourite song of theirs
that song, and My Name is Mud!
Should have gone for 'To defy the laws of tradition', more of a groove
Hey, hey! I voted for this one. I'm not really a Primus fan, but I know this tune, and it's one of the few I like by them, mostly for the groove and the vocals not being through all of it.
I just can't stand their vocals, Claypool is a great bass player, but vocally, not my style. So, of the 4 songs I like by Primus, this is the only one that was on the poll, so impressed you guys grabbed it.
Primus & tool are buddies. Danny carey filled in for primus drummer for a tour couple yrs back and primus drummer played on Manyards A perfect Circle song "the hollow" off the Mer de Noms record.
I know you put this up yesterday, but I just found it today - what a wonderful 61st birthday present! Les Claypool is iNsAnE! I LOVE Primus!
Literally everyone I've shown Primus to has said basically the same thing. "The instrumentation is absolutely amazing and I'd love to see it live, but I can't handle the vocals."
"To Defy the Laws of Tradition" off this album is insane!
Great reaction and song choice!! this takes me back to when i first heard this song and I too had a similar reaction in excitement hearing it!
Watching both of your facial expressions to this song is a thing of true joy lol. Let me just say I absolutely love Primus. I discovered them when I was like 9 years old and I’m a fan to this day. The shit is just weird, groovy, loud and crunchy.. I love seeing you guys vibe to it and laugh at the same time like only Primus can do. Keep doing what you do fellas
Primus is a great, but very unique sounding band. I've been a fan of them since the 90's. Just saw them in concert in SA, TX...They still got it. Their newest one Conspiranoid is a great one. The whole album of "Suck on This" should be one to give a listen too as well. Keep the great videos coming.
If Les’ voice annoys them that much, Primus is not going to be on their playlist for very long, or in Ryan’s case, at all. Lol
Yeah, Radiohead will have the same "problem". Don't think Ryan will ever be a fan of Thom Yorke's voice either.
@@Dragonpuncher123 it's understandable because Thom Yorke is a pretty terrible singer tbf
@@rorz999 Lol, sure bud.
@@rorz999 No doubt
Radiohead is just simply terrible. Life has enough reasons to make me meh, music shouldn't be one of them.
With Primus its either you LOVE them or Hate them. But cant deny the raw talent they have lol
Fun fact: Primus composed South Park's opening theme. The show creators were huge fans of the band in that time
You don't listen to Primus for Les's singing. You mainly listen for the insane bass playing.
As well as the incredibly underrated guitar and drums. One of the best 3 piece bands ever.
They are all instrumental virtuosos. They sound comedic, but instrumentally no one better. 👍
Frizzle Fry was my introduction to Primus, it sounded great in my Bronco with 2x12's in the back.
RUclips has a live version of Primus doing Frizzle Fry from '89 Stanford University. It is insane.
I never understand why John the Fisherman isn't their most suggested song. It's the first one that any of us really heard at the time, and their best by far in my opinion.
Right? I mean I like Fizzle fry, but it’s definitely not one I would show to someone just getting into them lol. I feel like they would really like a song with Brain on drums.
I think the same of Harold of the Rocks.
This was a cool song. I've never really got into Primus in the past. I remember seeing Buckethead play with them once.
The problem with the songs that win the poles, is that sometimes the one that wins is the one that everyones heard, as opposed to actually being the best song or best choice.
So glad you guys reacted to this song!
To defy the laws of tradition!
I'm going HARD 4 "Toys Winding Down" off of Frizzle Fry. Op, hold on a minute, this one goes pretty hard, too, now that I'm hearing it again after 20 years. But "Toys" is harder, I think.
* Alright, maybe not "harder"...I did NOT remember this song for what it is, I guess.
The whole album slaps. My personal favorite might be song Harold of the rocks
I can't lie...I love Sgt. Baker, Eleven and The Seven...but Too Many Puppies is their best song to me. It's actually the first song I heard from them. We were in a store in the mall and it came on...I was like yo that riff tough af. Then I noticed it was a song about the draft. Being a veteran, it really hit a chord with me.
If you want to hear the early Primus stuff, I recommend the CD "Suck On This" It is live & the songs sound great live.
I actually prefer the live versions of some of the songs on Suck On This over the studio versions on Frizzlefry.
@@robcrilley592 I absolutely agree. I heard SOT before the studio Frizzle Fry. I prefer live.
@@robcrilley592 The Heckler is a great track and it took them a long time to get a proper studio version of it.
Primus is one of those bands that are incredible live. you really feel the energy
The idea to mix it up and not just stick to one thing should definitely help you all with growth and retention! Variety is always a good thing! Good luck to you guys on your future endeavors, excited to see where you go!
This song just rules, voice and all. Always has, always will.
You should try “To Defy the Laws of Tradition” from Primus; Ryan might like that song more.
The solo section for this song #@$%in' SLAYS!
There is a great video of Primus performing this song in the studio at KZSU (Stanford University radio station) circa 1988 or 1989.
Wynona's Big Brown Beaver is a song destined for your playlist. I think you'd also groove to Southbound Pachyderm.
Not one of my favorite Primus songs, but yeah - they are all incredible players for sure. And Les Claypool does the vocals WHILE playing bass like that, guys!
I saw them on their Rush,Farewell to kings tour in Knoxville at the beautiful Tennessee Theatre. Seeing them live made me a bigger fan than I was.h
You said you want to see it live... it will blow you away. Saw 3 concerts and they are amazing and the crowd gets into it.
Primus sucks!!! 🤘🤘. Seen them many times. Always great. I absolutely LOVE Les Claypool’s cover the Pink Floyd’s Animals album. I would have killed to see that live
Came here to say Primus Sucks as well.
Primus fuckin SUCKS!! 🤘😆
From what I've heard, they wanted to be an instrumental band. But the record company wanted vocals, so Les went for silly lyrics and it kind of stuck. They are masters and are without competition.
That's just wrong
Like most of these songs were written long before their record deal. Listen to Suck on This.
Shake hands with beef is just the song I always remember when thinking about Primus
that riff just stays in your head forever
Helllll yeah, I've been waiting for you guys to react to Primus lol
'Shake Hands With Beef' is by far their best song. Not even in poll 🙄
One of my least favorites.
Yeah dude, not even close
That's not even the original band members dude
Horrible song.
Bollocks
How can anyone not recomend some steel panther? It would be a funny reaction
Or something groovy and doom like cathedral
Hey Guys - thanks for trying Primus again. I’ve been listening to them since Fall 1990 when John the Fisherman debuted on MTV’s Headbanger’s Ball. The precision and tightness of that song reached my inner Rush’ness. I ran out and got Frizzle Fry. The jam here and in Groundhog’s Day blew my mind. It was revolutionary, especially coming from a steady diet of Rush, Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, and Metallica and some hair metal bands. Napster was a great thing as it broke the stranglehold on what one could here living in a rural area. MTV helped, too.
The jams on Frizzle were so astounding. I’m sure I drove my housemates mad when I blasted this album. Check out Speghetti Western. Herky-jerky, off kilter, but funky and heavy, it is still one of my favorite songs.
Les was extremely conscious of his voice. He knew he wasn’t a singer, so he adopted personalities to convey the story. To me, the humor is an addition to the creativity and talent. I still laugh at the last lines of Mr. Knowitall.
Les’ stories are thoughtful (on the military, corporations, our degradation of the environment), dark & twisted at times, and then flavored with humor here and there.
It took more than a decade, but Stewart Copeland encouraged him to try singing. He can in his own way. As a whole, Primus is a I like it or I don’t like it for most people. It took me a while, but Les’ side projects work for me, too. The Claypool Lennon Delerium might be his best. Like Pink Floyd meets The Beatles meets psychedelic prog-rock and Primus. They are great live.
Jerry the Racecar Driver is a great song. How or why My Name is Mud was a hit still boggles my mind. The 1990s were interesting times culturally.
Wynona is the song most people I know that people I meet later in life know and like. It is way catchy.
You have so much music to cover, but maybe you could squeeze in Red State Girl from one of Les’ solo projects. You might like it for the atmosphere and musicianship. The love acoustic version on WNYC’s RUclips channel is a version to behold.
BTW, I saw Primus open for Anthrax and Public Enemy in Alabama when they all toured in 1991. I was blown away again. Primus could pull off all that crazy musicianship live.
I love this redemption tour. Really love what you two do
Saw them live and they played that album front to back. Amazing, just amazing
You really need to check out Muse - Knights of Cydonia. The bass/drumwork on that is so fresh!
I don't think Jerry Was a Racecar Driver is going to be one you especially enjoy. To me, other songs off of this album like John the Fisherman or Harold of the Rocks are much easier to get into.
I always think of Primus tunes as what you'd hear at a mad carnival.
Primus is soooo good, and your community FINALLY came through with a good recommendation lol. Lots of funk in their stuff. Great react guys.
If you think that's fast, or groovy, or technical (which it is), then Archspire will make you shit your pants. Archspire - Bleed The Future
You'd LOVE any track off Antipop. It's got Tom Morello, slick production and tight as hell grooves combined with heavy guitars. The production on early Primus albums is pretty awful to be fair
Lacquerhead slaps so hard. I love the Antipop album.
Their #1 in my opinion.
Ballad of Bodacious would be my pick from Antipop
@@proletariatbourgeoisie9929
Tuff barely made it out alive
@@proletariatbourgeoisie9929 Agree. Bodacious and Antipop are the most mainstream-sounding songs in their catalog. Plus I'm impressed and bemused at the thought of Les Claypool being clued in to the bullriding scene. 🤔
No 'real' Primus fan will recommend anything off Antipop because the band said they weren't hot on it but every song on that album is fantastic. Power Mad, Ballad of Bodacious, Laquerhead, Greet the Sacred Cow... well like I said every song.
Eclectic electric is the best. I didn't care for it then they played it live in 2020 and I fell in love with it
Probably my favorite Primus song in their catalog. It's one of their poppiest/grooviest/heaviest songs, and with incredible tightness and timing. At first his voice made it kind of hard to listen, but once I learn the words and can sing them in my head it almost seems to tune his voice out so you can jam to the music.
Frizzle Fry was a great off choice! Sorry to say, but good luck with Jerry Was A Racecar Driver… I can’t believe that song is so requested it’s like Tommy The Cat part 2 off the same album and everything. I guess we’ll see what y’all think! 🤣 (Lacquer Head or John the Fisherman vote here🔥🔥)
Jerry is a lot less silly than Tommy or Frizzle Fry though.
@@Dragonpuncher123 i would say its def weirder then frizzle but a bit more normal than tommy. its def more on the weird side tho
You guys are great! I think the series idea is good. PLEASE! react to The Strokes. They're a more modern band. They won a Grammy for best rock album last year. Good songs to pick are "Reptilia" "The adults are talking" and "you only live once"
Primus is a classification unto itself and that's what makes it so amazing. You always end listening feeling a little enlightened, attacked and asking WTF just happened.
Primus is a band that can truly be appreciated live in person. Its quite a show.
Primus sucks.
Primus sucks!
My favorite Primus track of all time. Thanks for reviewing it. Still get chills at the end.
Seen primus live in 92 , they were amazing live with that line up. Glad to see that they got MTV success
Primus sucks
Edit: only real Primus fans get it
This is one of my all time favorite songs by Primus.
I rarely, if ever, throw Primus on at home, but I'll always catch them when they come to town.
I saw Primus twice. First in the dining room of Barrington Hall. Then years later opening for Rush.
