INFO: There’s so much more we can discuss about Primus. The different band members have all been part of other interesting bands, the way Claypool continuously go back to the theme of ocean life and seaworkers is quite interesting and their way of merging funky, heavy and unconventional sounds with comedic lyrics also deserve a mention. In this video i give you an introduction to the band’s overall sound, history and legacy.

Jaco pastouris man, just make a Jaco pastouris video. I commented on a lot of videos on the fact that you can JUST DO JACO GOD DAMN PASTOURIS!
"This band is like Tool for hillbillies" I couldn't stop laughing
Roland Cole I’ve always thought as Primus as hillbilly rush
Few years ago a bud was listening to 'Southbound Pachyderm' and came to that conclusion. Cannot be unheard.
Maybe if hillbillies went to music school and graduated with honors.
Oklahoma Mud Motor is joke, calm yourself.
So much better than Tool though...
I
can't stand
maynard's whining
every song
that pacing
until he does a big long bit after every stanz
The band itself is phenomenal, Carey is quite possibly the best drummer alive now that Peart is gone... but holy shit maynard stop boofing angst
Not gonna lie, but Les Claypool looks like the guy from Primus.
Matty L eh kinda.. I don't really see it
MAN RAY nor do I
I don’t think I’m getting some sort of joke here
This guy's pretty bizarre, Gus.
He looks like the guy from lennon claypool delirium
The guitarist is very underrated. He was a big part of their sound with his weird playing
this is like a comment in an opposite world xD but I totally agree with you boy
I never really gave Larry Lalonde the respect he deserves until I watched him close up doing the solo from "Harold of the Rocks" and he literally started playing with his teeth like Jimi Hendrix. Much like Mitch Mitchell lived in Jimi's shadow despite being a top notch musician, Larry Lalonde lives in Les' shadow.
Absolutely agree!
People are always captivated by Claypool's outstanding bass and overlook Guitars because of that.
@@s.willis8426 dont forget herb. He is amazing
Ler had his own death metal band when he was 15
"Tool but for hillbillies" is probably the best way I've ever heard Primus be described, and I'm gonna stick with it from now on.
Except Primus is much more versatile.
(I think Tool would have a hard time making a song where Tom Waits or Tom Morello would fit in)
I say ween
Nah , Tool is cool but has no sense of humor or funk in their music.
Primus is Like frank Zappa for Hillbillies.
@@joebettendorf646 second time I’ve seen Ween in these comments section, you have my stamp of approval
Tool had tons of humor in there lyrics.
No idea what you’re talking about.
I saw Primus in 1991 and the crowd kept chanting Primus Sucks. I didn't know at the time that it was the chant for Primus fans.
i have been to many primus shows Les Claypool starts the show that way untill everyone is chanting primus sucks .
Greg Ellis no he doesn’t. They have not encouraged or embraced that chant in a long time... many many years....
Poonis and you are terrible at trolling... try again
Poonis no u
Primus was my first concert and they did that at that show
I don't get how Larry Lalonde isn't on the top guitar players list. His use of dissonance, alternate rhythms and effects is beyond amazing.
I grew up with Larry LaLonde and even lived in the house were Possessed practiced and Larry was always a super cool guy and always making unique sounds on his guitar
WORD!!!
Ken Clive solid
Ler
and he invented death metal
Primus is what happens when your IT department starts a band.
I'd LOVE to see that IT department. :D
Wouldn't that be Weezer?
@@cara-he7js close, you're thinking about Best Buys Geek Squad.
like fr the guys from primus look like the guys that are always acting weird and hang out in dark, sketchy smelling song
It's more like when the janitors start a band.
Pretty sure Primus was the band that helped me to broaden my musical horizons and not just stick with one genre of music blindly. So good.
Same here👍 still my top favorite band of all time. They don't have a song I don't like and I can never get tired of listing to them!
"One of those bands from the 80's" - well, technically, yes, they're FROM the 80's. But that's like saying U2 were from the 70's. Primus's first studio album was in the 90's, and that was their decade of peak fame. So they were a 90's band.
first thing I thought of, nineties
Bothered me too
Guy's a tool.
Great point. I graduated in 1984. U2 began then, and Primus didn't exist...
(As far as most of us knew)
Same with Green Day, I believe. If I'm not mistaken they started in the 80's, but Dookie was in 94, Kerplunk! in 92, and 39/smooth in 90.
I miss the times when bands like Primus could "appeal to the national audience" and appear on a billboard list.
Yea I’m a 15 y/o and I can tell you that sadly Primus is not popular with the kids nowadays lol
@@coolchannelatwhat’s popular amongst the kiddies these days
@@natedog380 Playboi Carti and Future for most guys, Taylor Swift and Cardi B for most girls, Korn and Deftones for most of the metal heads my age. Personally I’m more of a Primus, Rage Against The Machine, Biggie Smalls, Daft Punk, Eminem, Frank Sinatra, 2Pac, System Of A Down, Pink Floyd, White Stripes, Talking Heads, Zeds Dead, Beastie Boys, Kenny Rogers, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Bright Eyes, Louis Armstrong, Tool, Michael Jackson, Portugal The Man, Lil Darkie, and OutKast fan. I have the music taste of a millennial lol, but that’s just because I take mostly from my dad (but out of what I like I will admit that Red Hot Chili Peppers is actually pretty popular with kids, and System Of A Down is decently popular with the kids that like metal. Pink Floyd is also decently popular and 2Pac is still very popular along with Eminem, and Michael Jackson is still insanely popular with Beastie Boys being semi-popular with kids my age. Nonetheless all of the GOOD stuff that is popular with kids is usually regarded as being not as good as the bad stuff that kids listen to). That’s just my opinion though and I respect everyone’s music taste

"im going down to southpark ganna have myself a time"
The desaturating 7 is so good. Also there's a Japanese artist that wrote a concept album based on the same book. Masayoshi takanaka's "the rainbow goblins"
"understanding" Primus...
Good one, bro
Should rename title to chronicle of primus albums
this was shallow as fuckkkkk
😁
To be fair he also includes the "how to make shitty listicle videos too" link. Too bad he doesn't have a link in there for learning how to read out loud like a real human being.
The only thing anyone needs to know is that Primus sucks.
I feel like Primus's entire ethos is taking a genre and just playing it in the weirdest way possible. And it's great
@really dude i just wish les and deaner would have made a side project, both had their respective bands on hiatus at the same time multiple times. That would be a hell of a record.
Also les with that one guy
@really dude yeah so far thats one of my fave songs from them but overall i like the first album better. Its one of my fave albums at all.
I havent really listened to the new album thoughjust glossed over the songs aside fromblood and rockets.
Theres also rumors pf a new ween album , im hoping its true
@really dude def do ween is amazing live if you havent seen then already and they have been on fire lately
I don't think Primus tries for, nor can be put in any genre of music. They're just Primus. And that's good enough for me.
But it only works because all 3 are masters at their instruments
Tim Alexander. Awesome drummer, never got enough credit. You can tell there was a big drop off when he left.
He's back, baby!
Herb, the Ginseng drummer
Totally agree!
He'll always be my favorite Primus drummer and one of my favorite drummers in general....he was fucking great.
Herb is the best but Jay Lane did a nice job on the 2011 album ,Green naugahyde
The fact Les couldn't play for Metallica makes Primus suck forever.
Eat that, meta.
Primus sucks
@@shotgunsam23 bruh
As a Metallica fan and a Primus fan, im glad that we got these 2 bands instead of Metallica with Les Claypool xDD
Les Claypool is a weird, genius man.
@ how is he a pedo?
A friend best described Primus as “troll marching music”. I can never listen to them without picturing trolls in lock step.
@ Yeah....What the FUCK ???????
@ wtf ? Where did you find that ?
@ Cite your sources. You can't just go tossing labels, it could be considered slander.
Les Claypool is the Frank Zappa of the four string.
well, to be fair, he also plays 5 and 6 string basses...
@@_baalshamin and fretless
@@_baalshamin He has never played live, or recorded with a 5 string
@@romanwinkel well, his upright has 5 strings, so...
floydfanTN Dead on
I'm glad Metallica turned down Claypool. His talent would be wasted in that band. He's on an entirely different planet than those guys!
Not only was he too good for them but had he been an added member their sound would have changed. Probably for the better.
denise fiorelli i agree les claypool would have been wasted cause Primus is awesome and developed its own kind of music but come on buddy you really gonna sit there a type that metallica aint good in its own genre lets be real here
As far as Metallica is concerned...anything after the Black album is trash.
denise fiorelli hell yeah actually after black album i think they dive in a straight line with the newer stuff being the worst
denise fiorelli lol shut up
That South park intro was primus. My mind is 🤯
The intro and outro.
Primus is a very underrated band and I thank you for covering them in this way.
Jaded Jessay Ey no problem. I hope more people get their eyes up for their music.
"Shake Hands With Beef" rocks. I love the drum track on that one. I am convinced that they could have tried to be more mainstream and been more successful but they chose to remain true and I am thankful for that. Weirdly wonderful.
Refusing to Sell Out results in sold out shows just the same and I too am Grateful for Primus Sucking me in.. I also Love the fact I can STILL see Primus in a 1000 seat venue next to a lake..Thats what music is all about. Finding those shows that are Intimate and Interactive and it becomes more Authentic. This vid touched on Metallica lol..Now THEY, Sold Out, and the Music shows exactly when it happened..
Bob Bastion drumbeat amazing
@L I agree, definetely influenced by bonham
when saying "shake hands with beef" i couldn't help to think about aqua teen hunger force
“Understanding Primus”......
Just listen to the tunes, man. That’s got all you need to know.
Primus is so underrated as a band because of their type of music or genre...the band as a whole is so creative on every level...Primus is a great band and will always be
The band that got me into playing bass and push me to expand my music tastes. Without primus, wouldn’t be half of who I am today...
That's an intense statement there.
I know it sounds really cliche but man when i heard my first primus song I was so blown away. I was like: Hoooo, so that’s what you can do with a bass...
My name is Mud I respect that completely
@@remyvilleneuve4879 Same
same here. Pork Soda especially taught me that music could be incredbly dark and hilarious at the same time. genious band!
This band made me. Me and my dad always listened to Primus, and we both loved it. Fun thing I found out after his untimely passing last year, he used to play bass.
Primus always reminded me of Frank Zappa. Great musicianship layered in ironic lyrical themes.
thats a great comparison. Les is the Zappa of bass players for sure
Thought the same thing first time I heard them, Couldn’t agree more, I bet claypool was a huge Zappa fan.
3:32 "An album that daybeauted at no. 7..."
Right... that where it debuttuttted
My genitalia and pectoral muscles aren't quite what I would like them to be...but at least I have primus.
BUT YOU DON'T SEE ME!!!
And I have my kitty
His name is Alowishus
I stroke him stroke him stroke him STROKE HIMAAAAAAASGHFHDSSFHG
@kevin willems yeah I got 1 of those that I'm happy with lol... 1 of 2 is good enough for me.
Is it your left or right pectoral, Scruffy? I ask only for the purposes of documenting your sources of internal joy and emotional well-being in the interests of posterity.
Unless a hand reaches out of the screen and gives me ketamine, I don’t know if I’ll truly understand Primus...
How dare you mention Fred Durst on anti-pop without talking about Tom Waits
I really love Tom Waits. I'm surprised anybody else mentioned him. I love Hell Broke Luce. Reminds me of my grandfather.
A.k.a. Tommmy the Cat
I never could have imagined the music of Primus. It is so weird-in a good way-and no else sounds like them
I'm pretty sure Les Claypool's really Gary Oldman in disguise.
It's actually the other way around.
that would be Paul Gilbert (from Mr Big)
I ficcing knew it
Oh my dang...it is!
he is Ed Norton's dad
6:26
Oh god, why would you ask Fred Durst for any musical guidance?
Garland Eheh 😂 i knew i'd find this comment.
Tom morello surprised me when he was featured on antipop
If anyone can extract a nugget of wisdom from Fred Durst it'd be Primus.
In 1999, the drugs were very very strong. Very. Fred Durst was actually respected...well kinda.
@@JInfinity7 very true. Hard to believe but true. He somehow weaseled his whiny ass cheerleader style "talent" into working with a shit load of big rock stars. He was like the Timberland of a few years of a decade...or something.
I think any 15yo hearing "Sailing the Seas of Cheese" for the first time will be able to understand everything you need to know about Primus. I'm not sure "funk metal" quite captures it.
You could have mentioned the fact that Brown Album was recorded intentionally lo-fi and was named "Brown Album" because it was "meant to sound like muffled turd" accoring to Brian. I love that mixing. The drums feel as if you were in a cardboard box and someone was pounding on it.
I adore the sound of this album.
"Jerry was a race-car driver, who was married to Wynona; she had a BIG pet... a Brown Beaver." - Mud
“Don’t forget about John the fisherman, who had an abundance of puppies”- Tommy
“Also, to this day, Mr.Krinkle still has yet to me tell me why”
I read that in Les Claypool's voice.
And I said unto thee...
Steamy - Bob
The way to really appreciate Primus is to see them live. I've never had more fun at a concert as I did when I'd see Primus. I can't remember how many times I've seen them but it's always entertaining and I love watching Les play the bass. No one like him!
Saw them with Tool back in 2016, such an interesting combo of sounds. It's no wonder they are one my top bands.
That tour was perfect !
i saw them in Florida. went for Tool, ended up liking the Primus show more
Saw them in atlanta. On that same tour amazing
Shit was that 2016 i can't believe it's been that many years
Was lucky enough to see them in NO, last stop on that tour, and got Danny out on drums for Southbound Pachyderm.
God bless primus and rush
Trick question brah, Neil Peart IS God!
THE PROFESSOR!!!!!!!!!!!
I sense great musical knowlege in you.
Dante Escalante Indeed bro!!
Neil killed his daughter
Understanding Primus is very simple and it takes only 1 word GENIUSES
The brown album is criminally underrated
Saw these guys do the “sailing the seas of cheese” tour. They did one set of random songs, then came back and did Seas in its entirety. Incredible show.
I've been waiting for this for so long! Is it luck?
Favorite bass line on that song.
No, it's Lie lol
No nono no nono nono no noNO!
Is it la ha HA HACK ?!
Idk, do your socks and shoes always match?
Oh my God. I totally understand Primus after watching this. I totally get it now. Mind blown. Thank you so much for helping me understand Primus. I thought I understood them. But it wasn't until I watched a video of someone reading Primus' Wikipedia page that I truly gained an understanding of the band.
The first band who pushed me to explore discographies. Their albums were the first I ever listened to by myself. They were the first artist with whom I could pick a random song, listen to it and instantly click with it.
Cool.
Sounds like what Jethro Tull did to me.
And I instantly became a Primus fan since I first heard them in '95.
Not enough mentioning of tim Alexander the herb
or bryan "brain" mantia
Cory Thompson Probably Jay Lane. Primus has had some exceptional drummers!
fax
Their guitarist played really interesting parts over those sweet sweet bass licks. Maybe the next video could focus on that a lil more.
Finally someone given credit to Ler!! As a bassist myself,it's almost impossible not to praise Les for his amaizing work on the bass and influence on me. But,if you pass that first impression of amaizing"bassyness",you will find that what really makes those bass lines pops out most of the time,it's Ler's outstanding guitar work(not to mention Tim's drum work. Nothing against Brain and Jay but i always feel that Herb was their most suitable drummer). People generaly go only for team Les and most fail to see how awsome Ler and Herb are. Cheers
Tim is a god on the kit
andré pereira I named my cat Ler 😻. When I listen to Primus I concentrate on Ler because what DO you play with THAT rhythm section? Ler and his pedals on full gain!
CJ Live Right on!! That is the question ,my friend,and what a rhythm section!
Eheh,cool name for a kat.
Jordan Aleksandre Yes he is!
80's??? Their first album was released in 89. They're quintessential 90's, not 80's.
Probably because most of this info is jacked from wiki for views instead of actual care for music. Some bastards in life man
James Bane They started in the 80s so they are a 80s band
@@alicethemaliceofficial they produced music in the 90s, making them a 90s band.
I would categorize them as a ‘90s band. The Beatles started off in ‘57 and you don’t consider them as such.
He could’ve accidentally said “80s” instead of “90s”
The Brown Album is literally my favorite Primus album. I'm a huge fan of Claypool but I honestly think that album was his finest work.
My Les Claypool story. I am walking into the Aladdin in 1996 in Las Vegas to a Phish show. My friend and I see Les walking in the show. We go up to him and say, "Les, Les, hey Les!" He turns around and gives us the evil eye as if he had lasers coming out of his eyes. "Maybe that wasn't Les?" We thought. Well, at the end of the Phish show, Les comes out and jams with them for a historic hour. Phish, Les, Elvis impersonators, people lost their minds! Yes that was Les alright walking in the show that night. I will never forget it as he played the Jedi mindtrick card. ✌ (5 years earlier, I see Primus and Fishbone at the Aladdin with the seats being ripped out during the Fishbone set. Aladdin had to cut the power. Two different vibes but historic shows).
For the Doggies Guitars Primus and Fish Bone at the same show sounds epic. on that day you were blessed with some serious funk.
@@shaunbryan3421 It wasn't Fishbone, but that would've been awesome too! It was Phish, and it was a fantastic show!
@For the Doggies Guitars I was at that show too and met Les after it ended. He was looking to find out where Greyboy Allstars were playing (they'd been following the Phish tour and played aftershow gigs all up and down the West Coast). I wasn't sure, but my buddy knew, and we all walked down the block and headed in together. One of the GBAs crew saw Les walking up to the venue, and waved him over to the private entrance. The guy was about to close the door on me and my buddy, but Les turned around and said, "They're with me." So in we went with Les into the Green Room and had a couple beers with him and the band, who I'd become friends with because I saw them at almost every afterparty, and then in walks Trey, Fish, and Mike. I can't really go into the rest on a public forum, but as my 1st time to Vegas, I had a VERY Vegas experience. lol
@@WallyPDoyle111 Fishbone and Primus were 5 years earlier at the Aladdin. Crazy ass show!
@@WallyPDoyle111 I heard about that night from a book I read and that party! Fun times. Legendary! An experience that must of been on a top 10 list as far as music goes! Cheers!!
these videos are just a guy reading wikipedia, nearly verbatim......wtf
For real. And you can tell its disingenuous cuz he doesnt know how to pronounce todd huth... Or "debuted" for that matter
Their first album came out in 89 and all of their hits are in the 90s yet he called them an 80s band...
Wish I’d come up with this monetization scheme… About what topic do you suppose I could read Wikipedia into a mic over a slideshow of still photos?
If you read Wikipedia's article about "10,000 days" there isn't a single word about "Wings for Mary pt 2" and it's a sin for any Tool fan not talking about this song when the subject is 10,000 days...
Guess how much time he spent talking about this song on his Tool's video...
With a wierd accent he’s trying to hide u can tell English is not his native language. It sounds like a bad reading of a bad translation of a Wikipedia page.
I love Primus so much! Fell in love with them at their epic Bonnaroo show, and never looked back
Primus sucks
Bonnaroo eh? Wild time to see them?! How was it?
Still to this day the best show I've ever experienced. Adrian Belew joined them in stage for a bit, and the band covered YYZ to perfection. Opened with To Defy the Laws of Tradition, which is now my favorite song (that was the first time I ever heard it). It was absolutely epic
Les Claypool,if you ever read this.
I am a huge fan of Primus.Your music will never get stale.It will always remain fresh to me no matter how long I listen...When the 90s ended,great music began to end as well.There are many people that want great bands like Primus to make their way back into the music industry.
Your dirty nasty music is the best.
We miss you Primus!!!!!!
Les Claypool's singing sounds like a hillbilly Weird Al....
Which isn't necessarily a bad thing. :)
Actually a Weird Al / Primus collab sounds like an awesome idea.
@@RCAvhstape my mind would explode
You mean he isn't ?
Saw them open for Public Enemy/Anthrax. Great show. After the first couple of songs Les stepped up to the mic and says, "Hi! We're Metallica, really happy to be here." Bam! right into the next song.
I expect nothing less from Les
He was in the frame to replace Cliff Burton in 86, imagine what Metallica would sound like with him in it.....
Just love “wounded Knee” of Pork Soda I love instrumentals..
I have air xylophoned
I used to be an adventurer like you...
Sailing the seas of cheese is 1 of the greatest albums ever made in my opinion. I remember being totally blown away the first time I heard it and I’ve been a huge fan ever since
"Those Damned Blue Collar Tweakers" and "Tragedy's a Comin'" are my all time favorite tunes.
Primus is one of the most fun and trippy concerts I've ever attended. Big fan, and they've aged like a fine wine. Side note: Failure's Fantastic Planet is a forgotten 90s space-grunge masterpiece concept album. If you haven't heard it, you definitely should give it a shot. They have a similar story to Primus in the sense that they took a long hiatus (even longer than Primus) and then released a great comeback album (Troy Van Leeuwen of QOTSA and A Perfect Circle fame also has origins as a live guitarist for Failure). Honestly the most underrated rock band I can think of.
I never heard a band with better sound. Failures new stuff is great too.
Loving the new failure albums.
My favorite track from Antipop was "Dirty Drowning Man" produced by Stuart Copeland.
Bodacious man, Bodacious.
I’m not trying to pick on you or be a snob, but the “T” in debut or debuted is silent. It’s pronounced [day-bue’d].
Same with him pronouncing morale as "moral"
Brown Album is underrated imo. Such a solid album from start to finish.
It is literally my #1 favorite Primus album by far.
@@albenmurcia4716 And yet that's one of my top 3 songs on the album.

8:22 "That's the main treason we're doing it again."
Saw them live last year for their Desaturating tour, they still got it, though they've changed their sound over the years I still love listening to all of it and hope they do another album.
Heyyyy great band! Les Claypool is my number one bass playing idol. Also my dad named my cat Tommy after their song “Tommy the Cat.”
Yellow Magic Orchestra is waay underappreciated in the west, electronic pioneers and all. I'd love to see an episode on them
Why didn't you talk about the band Sausage? They're the original Primus and came out with a great album.
My mom used to read me The Rainbow Goblins. I need to hear this album now
Had a Rio mp3 player and one of the genres was "Primus".

I'll never forget my ex roommate turn me on to Primus I thought they were really cool and strange like Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention was then my ex-roommate took me to a church where they played Christian heavy metal I I've always remembered that time in my life and I'm internally grateful to my ex-roommate for turning me on the Primus they're one of the best man's I've ever heard✌😎
Another primus video would be great but really it's claypool who deserves his own "understanding" video man.
"Primus is tool for hillbillies!" 🤣 Brown album was my favorite up there before tales as my favorite when I got into them in '99/'00. Great picks lie!
@JezBollah 667 didn't know hillbillies could be from england

I'm pretty sure I saw your channel like a year ago and it had NOWHERE NEAR 250k subs. good work man.
One must know their sense of humor and appreciate their talent as individuals.. if you took each one of them and put them in any other band, they each would be the most talented in that band.. they are pure genius if you step back and really think about it..
"understanding primus"
I still cant
listening to Primus since im 10! waited for you to do this for a long time! thanks!
I like Primus' cover of Jerry Reed's song "Amos Moses"! It's classic! 🤠👍🏿👈
The desaturating seven sounds like a prog album because it is a reimagined primus version of a Japanese prog album called The Rainbow Goblins. You should do an episode on Masayoshi Takanaka.
Never clicked on a video so fast.
Could´ve just read the Wikipedia article, it´s basically the same info
A good thing to focus on the next primus video is the hallucinogenetics tour and les’ dabbling in the jam band scene that led to a complete change in the primus sound and reinvigorated their comeback in a way. Specifically their ep animals should not try to act like people, and the spaced out masterpiece live shows of 2003-2004. I think it’s a deep cut side to Primus that a lot of people would enjoy hearing about.
I’ve seen almost every Claypool band play live . They’re all outstanding.
Here I am in the later parts of life and I’m just finding this band! Keep the videos coming!!!
I miss their old website. It was full of fun stuff. Lots of my days in high school were spent in that webpage.
Also im pretty sure their first band name was Sausage and not primate or primus.
"Primus is Tool for hillbillies" that made me laugh so hard.
The Brown Album is definitely my favorite. Brain's drumming is INSANE, and they had the best mic setup on the kit for that record.
drxwzee the man, the myth, the pseudo mexican
agreed 🔥
- Larry Lalonde was formally trained by Joe Satriani
- Les once tried out for Metallica
- Les denies being a member of The Residents, but come on, man....that's totally him.
Failed to mention "Animals Should Not Try to Act Like People" in early 00's
You might need to do one on all the side projects that Les has done over the years.
What's to understand? It's funny, it's quirky and it slaps. I think the best description I ever heard of them is that they paint with browns and purples while most bands are using Reds and blues or black and white.
No one has, no one ever will....sound like them. They are a genre of their own
Frizzle Fry is my favorite
Punchbowl is my favorite
Omg yes I've been waiting such a long time for this!!!
probgle sandwich I know. Same here kind of.
Sausage was a great clay pool side project in the early 90s
I was just listening to it for the first time last week (despite it sitting there on my Winamp playlist for years, it's one of those things...) and it sounds fucking MASSIVE
Sausage had all the members of Primus in it
Here's to the man who holsters the gun. For it has taken, his only son!
@@apatheticallylethargic4639 Todd Huth was in an early version of the band. Jay Lane was on the Sausage record, Holy Mackerel, Frog Brigade, and played live on all those tours including the "solo" Claypool stuff as well. Think he filled in for Tim Alexander in later years? Im going off memories of all the Cds and shows I've seen, not memorizing Claypool's wiki page like some of these lame asses
Mr. Bungle is really good too, formed in the mid 80s like Primus
2003-2010 was a pretty productive period for Primus minus a few years in that time-frame:
2003: Tim Alexander came back and they released "Animals Should Not Try To Act Like People", and started their first tour back titled "Tour De Fromage".
2004: they finished the Tour De Fromage, and did the "Hallucino-Genics" Tour along with releasing a DVD of the last show on that tour. They also play Bonnaroo and the Fuji Rock Fest.
2005: the band played 2 shows this year.
2006: the band played a festival in July, and embarked on the "Beat A Dead Horse" Tour that fall. They also released a greatest hits album, and released "Blame It On The Fish" documenting the 2003 leg of the "Tour De Fromage".
2007: the band didn't do anything that year
2008: the band played 4 shows that year
2009: the band didn't do anything that year
2010: the band did touring, etc with Jay Lane.
This and the Tool videos are the best of your chanel, ohhhh, Primus.
