actually before that, i think before their first show, Les went up on stage and yelled out to the crowd, "we're Primus and we suck," to the crowd. I think that is how the whole thing started
Les's bass sounds like an Alien Tripod from War of the Worlds here. Yikes. I wonder what they spent to create that sound for the movie...and Les is like, "lol, I do that every day, see? WOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRP"
@ScreamForAnExcuse Back in the day the singer/bassist introduced himself at a concert and said "hi we're primus and we suck", so their fans started saying that primus suck...apparently he hates people saying it but people are sheep so they keep doing it.
Actually the jamming is a more complex way of making music 'cause there you don't follow any song you just.... make music from nothing thats why i like more the jamming primus stuff :D
@ScreamForAnExcuse also if you look at the Tommy the cat video where the cat walks on the street there is a graffiti on the wall that says "Primus sucks"
can someone please tell me what this whole "PRIMUS SUCKS!" thing mean? i'm a little lost about it all.. anyways, amazing song, amazing band. its perfect.
Troy One of Primus’s first albums Suck on This is a full recording of a live show. Les says himself “ we’re primus and we suck” that’s where it all began
So what a lot of people are failing to mention on this thread was that the band had a t-shirt you could buy at shows and headshops. The shirt said Prinus Sucks

They should sell Primus socks. The audience really seems to want those.
As long as I’ve liked these guys,I have to say this is my favourite tune from them.
This is my FAVORITE song from Primus !!!

Ive been listening to this song everyday for two weeks now
got stuck on my brain May 2024

Love Primus! Les is definitely a bass God! This live version and the Bonnaroo version are similar but different!
As far as I know this is the best Primus song. Deep, great build up, easy to follow and move to.
Pioneer. Damn, why is modern music not of this caliber.
i LOVE when Jonny Depp plays the full bass .. he is a stud!
who ever started the clap should feel like a hero.PEFRFECT
Glad to see and Hear PRIMUS has got their Mojo Back
Cheers!
Saw Primus in Vegas this past June. AMAZING!
La perfección echa psicodelia
I love Ler's guitar line on this.. sickness..
Primus still as groovy as ever.
Love this song, love the whole new album :D
Very refreshing .
My name is Jesse and I endorse this song.
Yes
Omg. Just the best
AWESOME!
This is a very nice holiday song.
way to go primus!! never disapointme!!!
We miss you Tim, but this guy rocks too!
He is the original drummer
@@briandavis2885 right. At that time I thought herb was retired. He's awesome. I'm glad he came back after the thing. Aneurysm?
so i guess jillys not coming back next week guys lol
This song is a perfect showcase for other than Larry LaLonde!
@dchalf10 haha, i see.. cheers mate. appreciate it.
I like this better than the 3m view video because you can see them play their instruments without blinding light.
its an electric upright bass
Cool af
turn the bow around and smack the upright bass with the wood. Awesome!
Primus (les especially) is definitely alien, and gods among humans!
I hope you realize that the majority of Harold of the Rocks is jamming, especially live. Which dates back to Suck on This
THE BASS!
Yes
Is it jsut me, or does Les look exceptionally old in this performance? Maybe it's just the glasses and hat combo.
I know that Les is on bass but could someone tell me who the other musicians are? I love this!
Alex Roberts: Larry "Ler" La Londe on Guitar, Jay Lane, drums.
Git Majonez Kętrzynski
Ler is the shit.
I would be happy with some nachos and pork flavored soda!
EQOAnostalgia S T E A M Y
How does the fucking guitarists for Primus remember such random notes? Must be a hell of a jazz musician
ssounds like king crimson
4:53 favorite part ^^
so fucking sick
Love this shit
k NiveL !!!
PRIMUS :-D
Love the way this has a sort of shoegaze vibe with the post punk.
Shoegaze metal? Funk metal? Whatever you want to call it. Nothing really defines them quite like the moniker "Primus"
I am in fact. Can you please elaborate?
ludo,ludo,ludooooo
@cameronj279 not a bad song on the album...no fillers....vintige primus....takes me back to the early 90s
What is that skinny long instrument called? x
TheSnowsbeauty5 it's an electric upright bass but I don't know any specific names for it but what j wanna know is where to buy one
@cameronj279 I hear that!
Rob Scallon Why do I keep finding you on Primus videos?
@@alicethemaliceofficial hes a huge fan of primus and les claypool was his influence to play bads
Coming from San Francisco I'd say everyone's on something
I'm pretty sure that was the point of it
Who's on smack? Jilly is - that's who
@ScreamForAnExcuse Back in the day the singer/bassist introduced himself at a concert and said "hi we're primus and we suck", so their fans started saying that primus suck...apparently he hates people saying it but people are sheep so they keep doing it.
What does he start to say at 5:12?
Htahnshshb hgdssfab pookjhhjju.
Ythhj shbsbsbsb yosh.
Ha, haaaaaaaa...I get it.
EAT ME RAW
I don't if you're being serious but that shit made me laugh.
Actually the jamming is a more complex way of making music 'cause there you don't follow any song you just.... make music from nothing thats why i like more the jamming primus stuff :D
damn, there are too many experiments on this album
This song is funny
@ScreamForAnExcuse also if you look at the Tommy the cat video where the cat walks on the street there is a graffiti on the wall that says "Primus sucks"
In this case is Jay
Yeah..it does. "The Clap" is an STD.
its not the most potent Fentanyl is some wicked shit
who the hell is that drummer
Jay Lane.
and there is (β-hydroxy-3-methylfentanyl
Does a bass exist Claypool can't play?
+Bastian W One would say, perhaps a Bass fish, but then hey, Les loves fishing.
The answer to this question is Fuck No
tHe_bAd_sEEd / Nope not at all Bro~Ham.......!!!!

Does Les Claypool look like Johnny Depp or does Johnny Depp look like Les Claypool?
Johnny Looks Like Les
C`mom , Primus means Les Claypool and Ler Lalonde plus one of the three following drummers.
Jay Lane
Tim "Herb" Alexander
Brain Mantia
the crowds clapping is off a half a step...
Hey Les! That's not a whamola. I know, it's fun to pretend.
Jilly left home for detox
he looks like such a sloppy guitar player but everything comes out clean
So anyway, this video was banned from MTV because it was "pro-smack"
...who the frig listens to Lacquer Head and - ........ *sigh*
favourite song off Green Naugahyde. Primus sucks!
I did my homework. Primus sucks :D
Primus sucks!!!!!
PRIMUS SUCKS
