    The Holy Mackerel band was one of Les's best projects. First saw him play with Blind Illusion, pre-Primus. Damn I feel olde...

      @@charlesxcalibur idk I thought he was to the right, someone is in the way and it’s hard to see. Probably a strat but I thought it was a jazz bass, two bass players would be cool but one guy will get stuck with the boring roots and 3rds lmao

    Never forget the first time i heard Primus, i was 10(1995) and my dad came home and had a few cds and i asked about them and he told me one of the bands was incredible and like nothing he had ever heard. My dad was an incredible musician btw so for him to say that held weight. We listened to Sailing the Seas of Cheese and i remember hearing Tommy the Cat and both of us were mindblown lol. My dad loved Primus, Ted Nugent, Frank Zappa...and mushrooms 😂

    Thank you for posting!! This was a great show. The opening act was Mirv. Which one of the singer/guitarists played in The Holy Mackeral. Les Claypool anounced that Brain would be the new drummer for Primus. Really cool to see this again.

      I saw Holy Mackeral only once, I count myself very lucky. Such an awesome band. Les Claypool and MIRV? fuck yeah

    • @BlueFlameJay
      @BlueFlameJay 7 років тому +2

      Yeah, was lucky enough to see them in Petaluma in 1998. Les was dressed as a priest, MIRV & Adam had the monk thing going on, and Brian was wearing a nun's habit throughout. Buckethead even jumped on stage for about a minute and a half and then disappeared!

    I was here/ there and just loved it. I bought a cassette from the opening band.
    The lead singer had a white Squire strat and a fat chain with a big padlock on it around his neck. Then Mirv came on and then the main act.
    They were quite good. Anybody remember their name ? Yes, I lost the cassette

    Sounds like a few of these songs were borrowed to make the Brown Album which came out the following year. Some are more obvious than others.
    Holy Mackerel has some passing similarities to Renegade
    The bassline to George E Porge bassline sounds like Fisticuffs but the Vocals sound like Hats Off
    Running the Gauntlet is Over the Falls
    El Sobrante Fortnight bassline is very similar to Golden Boy

      I fully support your right to be wrong. But if you dont hear Over The Falls in Running the Gauntlet then you are either deaf, retarded or both.
