Everything in Primus sound so fat. Those drums, perfect beat, guitar, meaty, atonal solos and of course the heaviest bass on planet. Primus doesn't fit in any genre but they play the most heavy music ever.
They have balls man. To sound so heavy and WEIRD...WEIRD is brave. You can sound heavy like thrash metal and people might be like, "Well, it's not me but I can see how people like it." With Primus it's like, "What the hell? He's singing about beef? This sounds so...weird." Fuck yeah man. I love it.
Well, this sound doesn't come from nowhere either. Captain Beefheart, Zappa and King Crimson ("Discipline" record) had their share of influence on Primus.
Though the herb is my favourite and the best drummer that has played for Primus, I always like Mantias much more than any other sound than any other Primus drummer. Its got a certain shininess to it which sounds really good.
Same here. I think it was how he hits drums so damn hard! Herb was/is touch and feel. Brain is pure power. Fast attack and quick decay. I heard George Carlin say (not about Primus): "It's not enough to know what notes to play. You need to know why they NEED to be played." Brain meant every note he played.
I was a teen in the 90s, but I'm only now just getting into Primus. There's nothing at the time (or today) that sounds like this. It's about as heavy as a power trio can possibly sound. Many metal bands would kill to get this sound. But also many funk bands! That's not something you often hear.
I love this! I like this version better than the studio version off the "Brown Album". Ler's little fuckup at 1:38 and the couple of rather stern looks Les throws in his direction immediately thereafter are amusing as hell to me! Good stuff! Thanks for uploading!
Love this shit shake hands with beef sound so good and twacked like myself. His bass skills are Grade A I hope one day I can play my bass just as twacked as him, Awesome band!
I'm a Tim Alexander man all the way, but goddamn - Brain is a total badass sometimes. One of my very favorite Brain-era Primus songs. Great performance from the trio.
I really like Primus with their newest lineup. Brain kicks ass! The groove is just deep and they rock out even to the verge of metal. However, "Tommy the Cat" is still my shit!!!
Les Claypool is a bass Playing God, nobody can play as sick as this man. and Larry lalond is awsome on 6 string to play along side him. this performance "live" showcases there abilty together.
I saw Primus at Outside Lands this past summer. It was HERB playing and he rocked! The footage is on here. Great cinematography. Great set! So glad I was there!
Deidre M Ccalla I'm a straight man who loves Primus and I must say Les Claypool has never looked better been in this stage of his career. He almost seems masculine which is weird to combine Les Claypool with LOL
Les is one of the best Base guitarist i have ever seen and i watch a lot of videos and listen to a lot of music. Most bassists are bland but he really gets the most out of it! Can anyone think of a better bass guitar player other than Les? :P
claypool looking like he would much rather be ANYWHERE else other than that stage performing that song lol... they don't do this song live a lot surprisingly
+Von Sterner Im just giving you a hard time dude relax I respect your decision either way im just pickin at you just in a mood. If you meant something else it's all good I'm not hating on you, just being a smart ass.
I absolutely love the guitar on this. Its quieter and cleaner on apple music where I listen to it. I wish it were more like this. Awesome either way though
this song is nasty
in the best way possible
Yes sir.
Rob scallon on a primus video? Hell yeah
Bahaha some decade old UA-cam cred here ;) glad i randomly came looking for this lol
Rob Scallon hai
Hell yeah! Primus sucks!
I would love to own that bass
Dad?
I wish he'd trade basses with me...this shit is fkn fun to play...anyhow...
Fucking harmonics...
So many rob scallon comments
No way!😂
the bass tone is nasty and beefy
fancy seeing you here Rob
You can thank MESA boogie for that 😎
shake HANDS with beefy.......

Hi Rob
stanky as hell
2009 Rob everybody, Popping boners over Primus just like us.
Robby!!!
The stankiest
This is the dictionary definition of stanky...
Yes
ler is the man
Rob Scallon hollup a comment by Rob Scallon with no replies?? God bless.
I feel privileged to be one of only 20 people to like a Rob Scallon comment
Yup
you used to have a good taste in music 8 years ago, Rob
Rob Scallon hell ya
Normally, I don’t condone spamming, but Rob Scallon gets to do it here.
i like how he came back a year later to add another comment
Christian Bale plays the shit out of that bass.
Haha too funny
+Serpico's Beard and Channing Tatum on guitar
+Serpico's Beard thinking that lolol
+Eugen Korn It's Chris katan on guitar. you know corkey Ramano??
nothing without l ´claypool

+Wiencon It's quite revealing that the main guy is a carpenter. The music actually sounds as if it was carved in wood. It's very physical.

Jeffrey Kazanjian o
wiencheck agreed
Larry's guitar solo here is brilliant. That man deserves a lot more credit than he gets.
I love it, it's as if the brief was "give us a blues solo but make sure you don't hit any of the right notes".
He gets the credit where it matters, from people that know how good he actually is!
The Brown Album is extremely underrated, it's one of their funkiest releases
Damn straight
Yeah I always liked it best , just hypnotic to listen to. This and fisticuffs were my favs
hell yea
One of their jazziest as well
It's my fav album then Frizzle Fry. Took me yrs to decide lol
wow i never knew christian bale was such a good actor. .he looks like he's actually playing bass here..lol
Landon Ra D. 😮😑🤔😄🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lol your own joke why don't ya
LOL!
Looks like Edward Norton here
That comment is getting old.
Man, i remember catching this on TV as a kid staying up late and watching things I wasn't supposed to. Thank God i did, because I discovered Primus.
Showcase....😜
Fuck. Took me 20 years but just diving right into Primus now. Hope I get to see Les Claypool live.
I showed this vid to my sister. She said she had no idea that the Batman can play bass. lol
I think she meant Bruce Wayne...
Les Claypool looks like Christian Bale
Matt LeDrew And Ed Norton
Julie Parton And Serj Tankian.
But none of them looks like Les, weird.
christyinspace Yeah I had a lot things in my ass thorough whole life
Matt LeDrew agreed
AND... ZLATAN IBRAHIMOVIC ! ha!

Herb's good, but Brain Mantia is on another level. Listening to his work with Tom Waits and Primus, it's just kind of otherworldy.
les has the most gigantic tone in this video. it cracks me up because you can clearly hear it above the guitar and drums. it's just overwhelming.
Can you imagine being there? Lol must have sounded orgasmic.
That cracks you up?
@@stanknugget Bruh, this was THIRTEEN YEARS AGO
@@NasukeTheWolf So?
@@stanknugget The answer is still yes
Les plays the most filthy funky ass bass on earth
One of the best sounding live bands is "Primus"
just another sic solo from ler...criminally underrated
Amen
SOMETHING6223 I think this maybe my favourite Ler solo. But really, who cares which one I think is best?
They all suck! ;-)
Still criminally underrated in 2019
I made a guitar cover of this song.
Brain is the only drummer ive heard that can groove like bonham. the whole brown album is pure bonham.
Lerry LaLonde is such an underrated guitarist, i have yet to find someone who uses such a unique set of licks and applies them so well.
This is one intoxicatingly thick, slamming track. It's been a welcome earworm for me recently.
My thoughts go back to the Primus/Rush tours. Two of the best bassists, same show.
Brain = The best Primus drummer of all time
Tim is 10x better.
Every Primus drummer is awesome
yomfnmammy that's a silly thing to say.
Tim, Brian, and Jay are ALL great drummers.
How so?
The groove of this song is awesome!!!! the whole band is excellent, but a drummer is amazing!!!
That last roll of Brain... brings sweat on my brow!:-)
every time he pulls on the string, it sounds like construction site noises
it’s awesome
I was a teen in the 90s, but I'm only now just getting into Primus. There's nothing at the time (or today) that sounds like this. It's about as heavy as a power trio can possibly sound. Many metal bands would kill to get this sound. But also many funk bands! That's not something you often hear.
they make a movie on Les we all know who's playing him.
+Kev Zammit Yea Me
Kev Zammit batman
such a killer groove! I love how its soo heavy and catchy!
larry stoned and claypool on the virge of laughter
This version of this song is one of the heaviest things I've ever heard from Primus. Love me some Primus.
If the color brown had a song, this would be it.
Still the best version, magnificent.
Edward Norton would make a great Les Claypool impersonator for a movie
Brain doesn't get much appreciation as a Primus drummer but I really like his style. Lays down a solid beat with swagger and authority.
always been one of the most underated bands out there,thats why i love them
I love this! I like this version better than the studio version off the "Brown Album". Ler's little fuckup at 1:38 and the couple of rather stern looks Les throws in his direction immediately thereafter are amusing as hell to me! Good stuff! Thanks for uploading!
The riff even makes me laugh
hey looks like spenny in this hahah spencer rice!
by far my favorite primus song
Patrick Bateman plays for Primus?
Phil Trujeque then how is he playing Bass??!!
After this gig he went to return some videotapes.....
patrick batman
I had no idea Zlatan Ibrahimovic's dad is more talented than he is.
GRANDE!!!! PRIMUS!!!
Love this shit shake hands with beef sound so good and twacked like myself. His bass skills are Grade A I hope one day I can play my bass just as twacked as him, Awesome band!
I'm a Tim Alexander man all the way, but goddamn - Brain is a total badass sometimes.
One of my very favorite Brain-era Primus songs. Great performance from the trio.
damn, the look to normal for primus
Fkn Aliens!! Absolute favorite line. _Aways_ bouncing around in my head since the first day I heard it!! So fine so sweet❤
love his smiling at 2:15
This is such a good tune. The drums are vicious on the album version. I've even mixed it into a few Hip-Hop DJ sets I've done.
I really like Primus with their newest lineup. Brain kicks ass! The groove is just deep and they rock out even to the verge of metal. However, "Tommy the Cat" is still my shit!!!
Love this band 💞
so much power from a 3 piece!! love it!!
Les Claypool is a bass Playing God, nobody can play as sick as this man. and Larry lalond is awsome on 6 string to play along side him. this performance "live" showcases there abilty together.
Everytime I really liked a song, I would look up the lyrics and try to understand them. Believe me, this one cost me a few nights of sleep.
@@Cstimmel1403 bro this comment is from 13 years ago, dudes not gonna reply.
@@Cstimmel1403 well alright then...
I saw Primus at Outside Lands this past summer. It was HERB playing and he rocked! The footage is on here. Great cinematography. Great set! So glad I was there!
Damn, Brain was laying down some sick drumming. Sick stuff, Primus couldn't get better than this!
great riff...
Les claypool looks so hot!

jonswan12 nah more like christian bale
what a good rythm !one of their best!
claypool looking like he would much rather be ANYWHERE else other than that stage performing that song lol...
they don't do this song live a lot surprisingly
they don't do songs from Mantia era
@@unkind78 sometimes they do
nroks what’s the Mantia era, I’m pretty sure its brown and antipop, but what does it describe
nroks never mind it’s the drummer at the time
@@unkind78 except Duchess, over the falls, and this song again now.
That bass tone is incredible
3:43
MrMaskedMan his face
Brain was having BASS on his brain.
Jeez wtf i dont even remember wrinting this comment, but yeah the drummer have a great face there
A great Song from a Fantasistic album! Brown that is!
It's 2016 and Primus still sucks.
Let it Be fucker
Pablo Oyarzo You don't know what "Primus sucks" mean? Look it up before you insult anyone else.
Pablo Oyarzo You must be new here
Yes, it's 2016. No, it doesn't suck and it never will. Shut the fuck up :D
Dude, Primus sucks. Everyone knows that.
One of the sickest grooves I've ever heard...
The snare drum sounds weird
The wool cap look was huge in 97. Primus, 311, the cartoon boy from the "paranoid android" video.
All rocked that look in 97...
Fact: Les gets 90% of his tone from his dance moves. Primus sucks!
1:14 I love this guy's faces!
Primus sucks!
*****
lol
***** dude you just lost the game....hard
Jared Cosby les clay pool loves it when people chant primus sucks it's sort of an inside joke that you weren't in on
Tom Pope no he doesn't. I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts
Gotta love the drums in this song, darn funky!
Primus sucks.
You lick sweaty bag don't hear us complaining.
Saying Primus sucks doesn't mean what you think. Do some research.
+Von Sterner Im just giving you a hard time dude relax I respect your decision either way im just pickin at you just in a mood. If you meant something else it's all good I'm not hating on you, just being a smart ass.
Larry LaLonde is what makes guitar Good. F'n Brilliant
This is so fucking raw! What tone.
This is awesome. Claypool is awesome.... And that bass is awesome.
god, i love that fill too. soo syncopated.
Shear genius out of all three musicians.
what a highly under rated primus song...so fucking good! and i love brains style of drumming
I'm watching the end drum fill frame by frame. SOO GREAT!
On tunes like Hamburger Train, no one in the world can touch Ler!!!
Larry should or hopefully patented that “move” of rolling back on his heals a few times! Awesome!
The brown album was one of the most underrated Primus albums. Some great songs on it.
i've been looking for this clip forever! i think this was from conan o'brian. thank you!
Les is in king of bass. I like a lot of rock music and i cant think of a better bass player off the top of my head !
Awesome live performance.
guys i think rob scallon really likes this video
The Brown Album is amazing. Still one of my favorite albums.
what a performance! brain is killin it
Amazing, one of the most progressive original bands ever. Thanks for posting.
That's a mighty fine bass sound you got there.
Primus drummer styles:
Herb=Sway like a gorilla
Tim=Bounce like a ball
Brain=Punch like Ali
@Shabadoop flea is a true artist not only a bad as on bass but a bad ass on trumpet too
I absolutely love the guitar on this. Its quieter and cleaner on apple music where I listen to it. I wish it were more like this. Awesome either way though
Yea the music is awesome and all but everyone knows I just wanna write that Les was so handsome back then I am in love
You know when song is good when it puts a big grin on your face. And i am grining.
Brain was Primus' best drummer I think. This is an example of why.
Cool song ~
