    After Metallica's bassist died and they were trying to find a replacement Les Claypool auditioned, but they turned him down. They told him he was too good for the job. lol They also had to know he didn't really fit in w/their style of music, but I always find that funny. I am glad you enjoyed this one. I normally start people off w/Jerry Was a Racecar Driver to kind of ease people into their sound. Some people get thrown off by the eccentricity and can't really pay attention to the music.

    • @johndeeregreen4592
      @johndeeregreen4592 9 місяців тому +1

      James Hetfield said that, but it was framed a little different. James believed Metallica would limit Les' growth as a bassist and stunt his real potential. They are all still very good friends.

      @RusShpion 9 місяців тому

      @@johndeeregreen4592 For sure, and Met asked him to try out again when Newstead left, but same result. I think it was more of a nod to him to invite him specifically rather than really thinking they would offered him the job. Les said he was disappointed that he didn't get it after Cliff, but it didn't last and there wasn't any animosity there. I will be seeing Primus again here near the end of April for Maynard James Keenan's bday bash, and am really looking forward to it.

      Les gets the same ride Brian Carroll aka Buckethead does. Metallica got where they did by maintaining a certain palatable image. Les Claypool and Buckethead pretty much don't even figure that nonsense into the equation.

    The first time I heard Primus I actually couldn't stand it and I was bitter about it too. Later on as I learned how to play guitar I saw some of their music videos and I was hooked.

    Until the early 90's it was usually believed milk was better for cats than water, then veterinarians explained massively to owners cats are lactose intolerant.
    The bass slide technique is named "glissando", it works better with a fretless bass (the bass Les Claypool is using even if there are still fret marks) or a double bass. You can also do slides on a guitar by using a bottleneck, or even a rounded plastic lighter. And the tap technique is simply called tapping, something very characteristic of Eddie Van Halen.

    Primus is one of the most unique bands ever. Every song can sound like a different genre or a blend of genres. Rock, pop, country, folk, metal, funk, rap, etc. You may have heard them before as they are the creators of the South Park theme.
    Nearly all the songs are stories about an individual character and have a persons name in the title too.
    They are also mentioned the opening lyric to Eminems Slim Shady censored version "Hey kids do you like Primus"

    If you react to Those Damn Blue Collar Tweekers performance from Woodstock 1994, I highly recommend searching for the FULL set and then skip to the song because, for some reason, most of the videos of just that song edit out the greatest part....when Les pays tribute to Jimi Hendrix's 1969 Woodstock performance.

    The craziest mosh pit I ever was in was Primus “blue collar twicker”
    “Winona’s got a big Brown Beaver” “Jerry was a race car driver” “ My name is mud” are a few of the more popular songs, but they have a lot good music and some mellow music which is cool
