    If you've only heard one Primus song, and you hear another Primus song you've never heard before, you automatically know it's Primus. Primus is a band that can't be mistaken for any other, how many other bands are like that?

Claypool isn't afraid to play what he loves, and that is always easy when you don't play a very popular kind of music. Love Primus. Love Deep Purple. Can't We all just get along?

    I actually worked on a painting crew run by a lacquerhead one time. Instead of ventilating a house, he'd seal it up completely with plastic, remove his respirator, and spray lacquer on all the woodwork. Wispy clouds of lacquer mist would grow thick and hang oddly in the air, and he would just bathe in it.
    I tried it for five minutes one time...yeah...it sets your head on fire. Very odd, but definitely pleasant. And you vibrate at about 60 hz.
    I had lacquer breath for hours afterward...just like alcohol breath after a pint of whiskey.
    He was 45, but looked like a pale, ghoulish 70. Nice guy, though.

    I love how the bass makes this song sound like a running engine; chugging along, sometimes having to be restart then going into overdrive.

    Sometimes bored and sometimes lonely
    Pimple faced and rather homely
    He wasn't much for socializin'
    The TV kept a mesmerizin'
    In one ear and out the other
    Picked up a trick from his older brother
    Got him a can of sniffin' sauce
    Pinned his mind up on a cross
    Lacquer head knows but one desire
    Lacquer head sets his skull on fire
    Lacquer head knows no in-betweens
    Huffin' on bags of gasoline
    Sniffin' paint since the seventh grade
    She was high on gin and gatorade
    On turpentine she lost her luck
    Fell in front of a speeding pick-up truck
    He was a boy of soft demeanor
    And he loved his carburetor cleaner
    The vapor made a sweet aroma
    He sniffed himself into a coma
    Lacquer head knows but one desire
    Lacquer head sets his skull on fire
    Lacquer head knows no in-betweens
    Huffin' on bags of gasoline
    Keep on sniffin' till your brain goes pop
    Keep on sniffin' till your brain goes pop
    Keep on sniffin' till your brain goes pop
    Keep on sniffin' till your brain goes pop
    Keep on sniffin' till your brain goes pop
    Keep on sniffin' till your brain goes pop
    Keep on sniffin' till your brain goes pop
    Keep on sniffin' till your brain goes pop
    Keep on sniffin' till your brain goes pop
    Keep on sniffin' till your brain goes pop
    Keep on sniffin' till your brain goes pop
    Keep on sniffin' till your brain goes, POP!
    Lacquer head knows but one desire
    Lacquer head sets his skull on fire
    Lacquer head knows no in-betweens
    Huffin' on bags of gasoline

Les Claypool can kill on a bass, a double bass, a standing bass, and a whamola... no other band is led like this. Always a fan.

    There are times where a band will change members and go down a totally different path... Sometimes it rocks, sometimes it sucks. RHCP did that with Dave Navarro, One Hot Minute being the album. Primus did this too with Brain, Brown Album and Antipop I think. For both bands these were interesting times, fascinating to me and I love the music that came of this experimentation, yet both bands also seem to refuse to acknowledge the existence of these periods. I understand Herb doesn't want to play music that was created without him, and RHCP went all....soft I feel, after John returned on guitar.
    For both bands, they created some seriously badass music, yet they never play it live.
