    I love this song. My friend was offended by the lyrics "too many puppies, being shot in the dark", I had to explain that this song's lyrics are an analogy for young kids signing up and dying in war, it's not literally talking about puppies. Too many puppies, with guns in their hands, too many puppies, in foreign lands. Actually a great anti-war song

      Always been a massive fan of his playing on this stuff. It's weird that people imply the guitar takes a backing/rhythm role and the bass takes the lead in Primus. The guitar is doing lead nearly all the time on the early records, the bass is just also performing rhythm/lead roles.

    The thing I love about Primus is how they really have *exactly* the right drums for their songs. When you have a bass guitarist on the level of Les Claypool, he'll end up also being a good portion of the percussion. It might be "simple" but every note is hit in exactly the right place and the songs wouldn't be the same without the drumming. It's really fun to watch a live video like the live version of Those Damn Blue Collar Tweakers from Woodstock 94.

    If you ever want to go on a deeper dive of Les Claypool outside of Primus, I would suggest Colonel Claypool's Bucket of Bernie Brains. It was an experimental supergroup with Les and Brain of Primus, Buckethead, and Bernie Worrell of Parliament-Funkadelic. It's four masters of their instruments who got together to jam and recorded an album. It's wild and funky and a hell of a lot of fun. Junior, The Big Eyeball in the Sky, and Thai Noodles are particular standouts, but it's one of those albums that begs to be listened to in full.

That being said, Les has quite the ear for sound and every single album Primus has released has incredible drum sound quality on top of just an overall brilliant band soundscape. Nearly every song was recorded to preserve every nuance and most don't even know the time and effort they went through for every song.

    Read an interview with Les where he said that he was a classic film buff and that if he hadn't become a musician he would've been a film director. I think understanding this really sheds light on their music. His songs have a cinematic quality to them, I think. A narrative arc.

I knew that part would get a smile out of you because you can actually recognize that musical comedy. Just such a wacky band, much like System of a Down in the way they aren’t afraid to turn listeners off and look ridiculous. They actually embrace the weird places the music takes them so much that they develop something totally new that speaks to other weirdos like us and almost becomes its own niche genre.

    @ericbrayton4550 3 года назад +1

    The tension or string chatter that your describing I am pretty sure is "fret buzz" some times this is caused by a guitar with too low of an action (strings to close to the frets) or in this case he slacked the strings and reduced the action its exaggerated because the buzz is from a large gauge bass string vs a smaller string. One way to reduce fret buzz is to put a larger gauge string so that it rides higher in the nut at the top of the neck making it farther from the fret board this would help if you get buzz on your one of your frets closest to the headstock.
