    The solo in this verison of the song is the single greatest piece of guitar and bass work I've ever heard in my intire life, it inspires me to breath.

    This is my favorite version hands down of this song!!! I think it has something to do with Larry’s guitar 🎸 solo and the the hole band was on it that night

    Now, I am certainly not old enough to 'recollect' this from any personal, live experience, but I find the atmosphere and mood surrounding Ler's soloing in this video to be surreally similar to the stage presence of Jimmy in the video "The Song Remains The Same" when I used to view that dosed on blotter. I hasten to add I don't think it's the acid talking, either. Maybe it's something about the lighting that reminds, too.
    This might very well be my favorite Primus footage.
    Killer, FenderJazz !

    Ler's style is really unique. He's way underrated. Which is sad because he's good at the guitar.

    * It was a weekend's eve
    I had sex on my breath
    I was looking for something to see
    With a borrowed black leather and my best fishing hat
    Well it was just Wendy-O and me
    We called ol' Swamp up on the telephone and said
    We was coming on down to pick him up and then
    He said "Hey Snappa, me and Greeny'll come along
    But only if we can bring a friend. His name is Harold"
    I said "Okay"
    Now, we had a Swamper, Greeny, Wendy-O, Stanley
    Harold of the Rocks and me
    We hopped into my Dart and headed for the Nightbreak
    To see a man they called Schoolly D
    Harold, he's a friendly guy, he rambles on and on
    He'll talk the balls off a rhinosaurus
    Fact is he just doesn't make much sense
    Well Stan said, "This guy's pretty bizarre, Gus."
    Harold of the rocks
    Harold of the rocks
    Harold of the rocks
    I saw Harold at a party Trouzy threw late one night
    I said, "Hey man do you remember me?"
    He said, "Well of course I do, Snap-Dad, and let me tell you right about now
    I'm lit up like an old Christmas tree."
    "Hey bro you know I'd like to thank you once again
    For letting me hang with y'all across the bay
    I look back that night was a warm spot across my heart"
    Then he shook my hand, and walked away
    That's the last I seen of Harold
    Harold of the rocks
    Harold of the rocks
    Harold of the rocks
    So in the end, Swamper and Greeny
    Finally succumbed to the ways of Harold
    And in doing so each gave just a little bit of his soul away
    What a couple of dumbshits! **

    I'll agree with you. But, people have freedom of speech, so you and I will probably run into "Primus sucks" for a long time.
    What I'd like to see is people say "Primus Suck" on videos that are appropriate to do so. You know the 1989-1993 era videos, when Primus Sucks was indeed the real motto.

    People say "Primus Sucks!" because that is what les said in concert and it turned into a saying that all primus fans say.
    but, now since it was over used it started to piss les off. (lol)
    But even for me it is overused and its starting to be an annoyance. (thats all i am saying)
