C'mon, every metalhead knows he comes from the Death Metal pioneering band Possessed. Every one of them knows for what's he worth ( a LOT). It took some time (back in the day) to get used to this antics within Primus, but we've mustered it ))) We wuv it )
that bass is in les's custody! love ler's solo, it's rare that you see a whole 4 minutes deicated to him, he's such an underrated guitarist. he uses so many different techniques that many other guitarists rarely use, and he does it so effectively and well.
You guys aren't wrong at all, but I blinked and realized you guys, 10 days ago, replied to a 10 YR old comment - it just made me laugh,..Ler still fucking rocks, saw primus twice last year - amazing..
I went to 2 Primus concerts and the only thing they played from the Brown album was Golden Boy. IMO, the Brown album was Primus at their best, pretty much every song is great. But apparently Les doesn't think so as he barely ever plays anything off of it.
This is new to me but it has quickly come to be one of my favorite Primus songs... Other songs off this album now, I've heard, but where has this one been? Uploaded 17 years ago... wow. Back in the day, we used to buy albums and we heard every song on them whether we wanted to or not. Nowadays, we either go on our own personal deep exploratory dives or I guess, we're stuck with what the algorithms generously offer.
4:32 That's my Larry! Whoever said Ler is the weakest link is wrong, he is great! Listen to Harold of the Rocks live very good guitar.. I don't particularly like Brain, Herb was so much better but hey great live song here!
Taylor Swanson I think what you mean is that Brain and Herb are different drummers and Les wanted something new. Herb is not better in any way. It's a matter of taste.
Ryan Laking thats bullshit. Herb left to do something else, he didn't get kicked out because les wanted something else. and herb is the more unique drummer of the two, his polyrhythmic technique, incorporation of ghost notes and double bass drum technique are fucking insane. just listen to tommy the cat, eleven or John the fisherman, Brain can't hold a candle to Tim.
+Buddy Guy Les Claypool wouldn't play with ANY sub-par drummer....every person who ever played drums with Primus has been a true professional to say the least. Jay Lane, Herb, Brain......all brilliant.
i wish there was more than one live recording of this song, somebody please save us! i’ve asked them if they would do this song live during the vip Q&A this tour & les legit said “ nah “ 😂😅 so i guess i need to live vicariously through these recordings….🤘
Sheesh that's a blunt downer lol. I asked during Q&A what the hardest song for each of them is. Only Ler and Les answered: Scissor Man and Xanadu respectively. Also there's a live version on Rhinoplasty with an equally great Ler solo. Also-also check Toasterland for live audio of it. That site's pretty exhaustive.
Some influences, in time signature much more straight then Zappa. But Larry used many modal scales on that performance: Bizantine, pentatonic, mixolidian, whole tone, dimished ... Amazing creativity! A little bit impresise but nothing spoiled.
Ler is very zappa inspired it feels to me. I used to have a zappa cd curated by Ler. Had some classics and some relatively unknown zappa gems with ideations that Ler clearly has incorporated into his repertoire
He used on solo: Minor pentatonic, Wole Tone, Diminished scale, Bizantine scale... Amazing and so creative guitarplayer. Little mistakes as like Les Claypool but nothing serious at point spoiler this song.
You do know that he is considered a godfather of Death Metal due to helping originate the guitar sound affiliated with the genre during his time in Possessed right?
Nirvana was a good band, but that doesn't make Kurt Cobain a fantastic guitar player. Kurt would not have been able to improvise a solo this long, technical, and interesting off the top of his head. That's all fine and good if you're a Nirvana fan, but think before you say things.
Lots of people in the comments talking about how underrated Larry is as a guitarist. I’m hoping these folks are aware that he is considered a godfather of Death Metal due to his time in Possessed. He is one of the pioneers that incentive that entire genre.
this is amazing wtf. I only wish that this version kept the kick pattern from the studio version. that (1,a,+,e) pattern bought the frenzy to this song.
if u mean the really fast part, u tap the 16th fret on the g string then hammer on the 10th and 12th fret on the d and then tap the 17th fret on the d --T16--------- -----h10-h12-T17
Yo fryBASS, Fellow Bassist. Fuck yes, could be quite the distant, quiet the lifestlye. But yes I feel yeassssss. Dont you wish we had more Lers in the world??
I heard that playing anything off the Brown Album and Antipop was never discussed when Tim came back 03-08 because he didn't play on those records, etc. The only track they did with Tim during the 03-08 timeframe was Shake Hands With Beef, and it was played like 3 times in 2006. They have played some other Brown Album songs since Tim returned in 2013, including some Antipop songs.
Yrs from now, I will tell my sons that this was a boy band who competed for attention against NSNYC and Backstreet Boys. And that this boy band... well... this boy band was the "different" option.
You don't seem to have much respect for your future sons' ability to discern one sound from another. Thinking further on it, I have to wonder what exactly you'd be hoping to gain from such a bizarre experiment, as the only thing I can think of is that Les will hear about it one day and write a really fucked up song about it.
Ler deserves so much more respect than he gets!!! Fucking brilliant guitarist.
He is a pleasure to listen to!
You need to check out his work in Possessed. He is considered the pioneer of Death Metal guitar playing.
He's a fast player to.
Larry is very underrated. He’s such a great guitarist
That's another guitarrist
He’s an amazing guitarist, and the rest of the band is ok too
Primus is the greatest band ever of all time. and every real musician knows it!!!!!!!
C'mon, every metalhead knows he comes from the Death Metal pioneering band Possessed. Every one of them knows for what's he worth ( a LOT).
It took some time (back in the day) to get used to this antics within Primus, but we've mustered it )))
We wuv it )
@@enidesouzabarros8852 no that’s definitely ler, just with a different hairstyle than usual
Brain just brings out a different part of primus.
It's been 13 years u commented this. But u are so fucking right
The Brown Album was percussion precision. Such a talent!
IMO with Brain Primus gets more funk, with Herb Primus gets more prog. Both great!
One of the best primus songs for me. Along with fish on, over the electric grapevine and ol' diamondback sturgeon
I love all primus but lately over the electric grapevine became one of my favourites out of nowhere. A blast to play too!
Did we just become best friends!!!!! And hamburger train too right??? and welcome to this world!!
that bass is in les's custody!
love ler's solo, it's rare that you see a whole 4 minutes deicated to him, he's such an underrated guitarist. he uses so many different techniques that many other guitarists rarely use, and he does it so effectively and well.
crazyedd123 I mean he’s just as virtuosic as Les, he’s just more restrained, which is part of makes him so good
I think you'll find he's very highly rated, it just depends who you're talking to eye suppose!
He plays some crazy stuff on guitar. I like how he pretty much ditches the usual scales and just plays off the cuff.
Dude literally makes up his own scales he’s a freakin genius
Years from now people will be studying the many scales of ler
You guys aren't wrong at all, but I blinked and realized you guys, 10 days ago, replied to a 10 YR old comment - it just made me laugh,..Ler still fucking rocks, saw primus twice last year - amazing..
Damn Ler's solo destroys my brain every time
“Possessed” you could even say.😉🤘
Ler was doing some fucking work during his solo! so goooood!
this is american rock at it's finest. finest
Larry Lalonde "Ler" my hero
I went to 2 Primus concerts and the only thing they played from the Brown album was Golden Boy. IMO, the Brown album was Primus at their best, pretty much every song is great. But apparently Les doesn't think so as he barely ever plays anything off of it.
woah. this song rocks.
Nah, it sucks obv 😂
Insane live version!!!
This is really cool. So much better than the version released on LP
they have turned into a jam band. Love it!
This would be high on the list of their songs I’d want to see live.
@daviesad77 it seems almost an oxymoron to call Ler the weakest link, they're all so phenominally talented
Calling him the weakest link is insane, if anything he’s their secret weapon
This is new to me but it has quickly come to be one of my favorite Primus songs... Other songs off this album now, I've heard, but where has this one been? Uploaded 17 years ago... wow. Back in the day, we used to buy albums and we heard every song on them whether we wanted to or not. Nowadays, we either go on our own personal deep exploratory dives or I guess, we're stuck with what the algorithms generously offer.
I seen primus earlier this year. Ive seen a lot a artists live but i would follow les and ler all over the country if i could
4:32 That's my Larry! Whoever said Ler is the weakest link is wrong, he is great! Listen to Harold of the Rocks live very good guitar.. I don't particularly like Brain, Herb was so much better but hey great live song here!
Do people really say that? Ler is the shizz!
Taylor Swanson I think what you mean is that Brain and Herb are different drummers and Les wanted something new. Herb is not better in any way. It's a matter of taste.
Ryan Laking thats bullshit. Herb left to do something else, he didn't get kicked out because les wanted something else. and herb is the more unique drummer of the two, his polyrhythmic technique, incorporation of ghost notes and double bass drum technique are fucking insane. just listen to tommy the cat, eleven or John the fisherman, Brain can't hold a candle to Tim.
Ya'll crazy, they are both supremely talented drummers, each with their own style.
+Buddy Guy Les Claypool wouldn't play with ANY sub-par drummer....every person who ever played drums with Primus has been a true professional to say the least. Jay Lane, Herb, Brain......all brilliant.
focking love this band and omg ler that solo drives me nuts, pure perfection
3 of the most talented musicians ever to Jam together!
Ler is criminally underrated
just perfect! they are so tight live.
i wish there was more than one live recording of this song, somebody please save us! i’ve asked them if they would do this song live during the vip Q&A this tour & les legit said “ nah “ 😂😅
so i guess i need to live vicariously through these recordings….🤘
Sheesh that's a blunt downer lol. I asked during Q&A what the hardest song for each of them is. Only Ler and Les answered: Scissor Man and Xanadu respectively. Also there's a live version on Rhinoplasty with an equally great Ler solo. Also-also check Toasterland for live audio of it. That site's pretty exhaustive.
the solo is so zappa
💯 even on the album version, albeit much more condensed
It's not surprising, Zappa was Larry's big influence as a teen!
Some influences, in time signature much more straight then Zappa. But Larry used many modal scales on that performance: Bizantine, pentatonic, mixolidian, whole tone, dimished ... Amazing creativity! A little bit impresise but nothing spoiled.
Ler is very zappa inspired it feels to me. I used to have a zappa cd curated by Ler. Had some classics and some relatively unknown zappa gems with ideations that Ler clearly has incorporated into his repertoire
He used on solo: Minor pentatonic, Wole Tone, Diminished scale, Bizantine scale... Amazing and so creative guitarplayer.
Little mistakes as like Les Claypool but nothing serious at point spoiler this song.
You do know that he is considered a godfather of Death Metal due to helping originate the guitar sound affiliated with the genre during his time in Possessed right?
I love the brown album so god damn much
How in the fuck did i just discover this absolute banger. And i consider myself a fan lol
glad you caaaaaaammmmmmmmmmmeeeeeee.... glad you're heeeeeerrrrrreee... have some champagneeeeeeee.... imported beeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrr.
Nirvana was a good band, but that doesn't make Kurt Cobain a fantastic guitar player. Kurt would not have been able to improvise a solo this long, technical, and interesting off the top of his head. That's all fine and good if you're a Nirvana fan, but think before you say things.
I am kind of a nirvana fan and i agree kurt has some really good riffs and stuff but this guy is on another level
Kurt Cobain was an infinitely better songwriter than he ever was a guitarist
Приобнял.
Thats sn excellent version!
I dont understand why the brown album isn't as beloved as some of the other entries in the primus catalogue, brain is such a fucking beast
I do love the "Brown Album" ! Possibly my third favourite Primus release!
Ler's using a fucking sick guitar.
I just found this vid and that's the first thing I noticed. That guitar is, indeed, sick!
the song is sooooo good for concerts
Lots of people in the comments talking about how underrated Larry is as a guitarist. I’m hoping these folks are aware that he is considered a godfather of Death Metal due to his time in Possessed. He is one of the pioneers that incentive that entire genre.
5:10 mind=blown
A special moment where we all realize "Seeing a band like Primus live is a MUST!"
Brain is such an amazing drummer.🤘
hehe his voice cracks at 1:25
this is amazing wtf. I only wish that this version kept the kick pattern from the studio version. that (1,a,+,e) pattern bought the frenzy to this song.
amazing
Why do i think the Brown Album was made for Ler? Because seriously Ler's guitar riffs are sick.
Hey You with the face...Cyclone Pinball.
Well said, man. 'Brain sucks at drums' ...my fucking aching sides!
simple amazing performance from the greates`t Bass player in the nowne universe!
Goddamnit this song rocks!
hey, I bet even les would tell out-right he was hugely influenced by Rush.....
I envision the interlude as what's on the radio almost :)
well larry does like frank zappa, there is a compilation cd called zappa picks: larry lalonde.
it cracks tunefully
😮Awesome...
if u mean the really fast part, u tap the 16th fret on the g string then hammer on the 10th and 12th fret on the d and then tap the 17th fret on the d
--T16---------
-----h10-h12-T17
Actually it's about Bob Sacamano
Brain's work in this song. Dude is WORKING. Holy. Friggin. Crap.
I heard that they did play "Shake Hands with Beef" not too long ago.
When you swap the Bass & Guitar ideology within a band structure and still solo like this = Gods!!
Also...BRAIN 😱😍🤟 ps...Primus Suck 😋🦧
WOWOWOWOWOWOWOW BOBOBOBOBOBBOBOBOB'S PARTY YOOOOOOOOO
Les gets it... Not many do...
Note the fact that he didn't say Brain, he said Brian... Everybody's gotta love 27 Seconds Of Brain.
He uses those weird unconventional modes so good
does larry have red hair here or is it just the lights??
No one does it like these guys.
eh... BPTL isnt on TftP, its on the Brown album :-P. anyways zhx for posting
ler and les as a combo are unreal
wonder if he dyed it blue before they played "BOB"?
on tour this summer, and headlining gathering of the vibes in CT
Does anyone know where to get the guitar tab for this song??
thanks.
¡Qué buen tema!
Fucking Brian is killing it with those sizzles.
BLAH
Truth. I would add the bassist too.
man...just a burst of seratonin waiting to happen
Can anybody do a guitar cover of this performance?
GOD DAYUM!
where the hell did you read that? Brown album is good for what it is.
Primus TOUR this SUMMER!!!!!!!!!! GO Vibes or bust
Nice
haha this is gold
@english2me I'm talking about LER over here.
@pcpgorilla curt cobain, more like curt go bang am i right?
Yo fryBASS,
Fellow Bassist.
Fuck yes, could be quite the distant, quiet the lifestlye. But yes I feel yeassssss. Dont you wish we had more Lers in the world??
saw them in milwaukee
NICE version.
The brown album is my favorite album primus has done, actually. The grooves are amasing. and Brain is perfect for primus.
Thanks bro
6:19 Sounds like eclectic electric
Primus SUCKS . Tanks 4 sharing BOB loves you.
i doubt it's les saying let's not play the songs off the brown album, it's probably herb refusing to play em.
I heard that playing anything off the Brown Album and Antipop was never discussed when Tim came back 03-08 because he didn't play on those records, etc. The only track they did with Tim during the 03-08 timeframe was Shake Hands With Beef, and it was played like 3 times in 2006. They have played some other Brown Album songs since Tim returned in 2013, including some Antipop songs.
Yrs from now, I will tell my sons that this was a boy band who competed for attention against NSNYC and Backstreet Boys. And that this boy band... well... this boy band was the "different" option.
You don't seem to have much respect for your future sons' ability to discern one sound from another. Thinking further on it, I have to wonder what exactly you'd be hoping to gain from such a bizarre experiment, as the only thing I can think of is that Les will hear about it one day and write a really fucked up song about it.
PRIMUS SUCKS!
you shouldn't need to explain it.
if they have to ask, they'll never know ;)
1:24 that poor voice crack
mmmm steamy
no doubt, YYZ i believe is what your thinkin of
LErry fucking lalonde!
hopefully you mean he sucks just the way primus sucks, brian is a groove machine
bobs party time
thanks I got the technique down. the part around 1:31 with the flamenco strum
Does anyone know how to play the pre-chorus part, cause im trying to figure this shit out but its getting frustrating!
on T.V.? Never...Saw them live several times in the late 80's and early 90's.
@nuke97 oops. I can't read.
