@@kobaba...12 yeah but it’s a normal look compared to everything else he always wears. Hell, on Saturday night live I think, they were dressed as penguins. I don’t think it was Halloween either.
DansBLACKFLAG some dude came up to me in my Jeep a few months ago and said how cool it was to see my Black Flag sticker on the back bumper. I actually saw like a 10 year old kid wearing a T-shirt a few years ago. Crazy.
Primus is one of the greats. But I thought they invented their own style of music too until I heard this: ua-cam.com/video/Pr70ttkMoHE/v-deo.html And this: ua-cam.com/video/PHedekI5w4w/v-deo.html
I see the similarities, but I still think Primus has a unique style that stands on it's own. The bass is the only thing that sounds similar to me, but even then it's much less percussive.
Always thought they sounded psychotic but in a right way. Like frenzy whatchamacallit. Singer reminds me of Headcheese (the hitchhiker) from Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Great sound tho.
It's hilarious to go through and watch all of their live performances. They look completely different every single time, but Claypool's majestic stomp is always there.
I saw an interview a few years back where he said that he more or less did the audition as a favor for Kirk. Apparently James and Lars thought he was a giant weirdo and a bad fit so they politely told him it wasn't going to work out. He said that the comment they made in the Behind the Music episode about him being "too good" for Metallica was a very nice thing for them to say, but complete bullshit.
@@nothingislogical That's just Les being modest. Metallica were right. He is too good for them. That's not to say Metallica are bad musicians. They obviously aren't. But Les is just a monster bass player capable of playing just about anything.
Well if this literally aired on "Halloween 93?" I was 16 years old with my 2 friends terrorizing Eastern Jackson County in Kansas City. Drinking, smashing pumpkins and mailboxes with an aluminum baseball bat. Good people, good times
A rare mess up by Tim haha awesome.playted it one to many at end Claypool caught it in time though and muted the harmonic strum nice reflexes there if have totally hit that and missed the recovery.
@Phil McCrevice hey Phil you like having roads and police departments right?? Fire departments and municipalities??? All socialized. Kennedy is a so called libertarian working for the largest misinformation organization on the planet.
Well les messed up, he forgot his harmonic. You can see him stop playing and Tim kept going because that harmonic is the last note. So he plays it in the next bar
Yup, believe it or not, MTV used to feature awesome bands. Primus, Alice in Chains, and so many more. Even had Pantera on once or twice. VH1 was pretty awesome, too.
Why is everyone dancing? There's no head bang or moshing well almost sounds like it but it's much punk so yeah. XD Anyways I love Primus one of my favorite bands and I love this song too. ;)
The one time a year Les Claypool dresses like a normal guy is on Halloween.
😂😂😂
No kidding!!
hahaha
He dressed up as John Lennon for Halloween
@@kobaba...12 yeah but it’s a normal look compared to everything else he always wears. Hell, on Saturday night live I think, they were dressed as penguins. I don’t think it was Halloween either.
How does claypool look like a different person everytime I see him.
A wizard did it.
He's like yoshimitsu lol
@@St_Rizla did u kno yoshimitsu is a title so hes a diff person every game :0
@@manpizza37 yeah exactly claypool must be a title too lol
if liam gallagher could play bass?
Christian Bale’s most ambitious role to date.
Lmao
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
he almost nailed it
In this video looks more like butch vig
Daniele Telera Oh Wow. Spot on.
The *one* time Primus doesn’t wear crazy costumes on stage and it’s a Halloween show.
Primus only dresses up in music videos
@@jakesullivan5998 I’ve seen them wear outfits and masks live.
@@jakesullivan5998 ua-cam.com/video/p6qmGVJvEpI/v-deo.html you sure about that?
That was their costumes! 😁
Striped polo shirts and khakis _are_ his “weird” costume, everything else is normal xD
I’m so glad those guys found each other. It’s perfect chemistry.
thelanatic and some groovy ass music to show for it!🤟
What's interesting was the guitarist was in the first death metal band possessed
@@arealbigchungus really? Didn't know that but he's def underrated
@@dismalrealms3587 I 10000% agree
All 3 of them are so badass
Haha the crowd isn't weird enough for primus.
marvin s they must be thinking "wtf is going on"
marvin s Imagine if Primus played on MTV nowadays?
marvin s I thought the crowd was pretty cool for the 90's, I mean everyones dancing and clapping and stuff.
Cameron Peterson I don't think Claypool would subject to it....
no but that thing on the balcony is
This is the kind of band that only could have come into existence in the early 90s
They started in the 80s typical millennials
Tim Bush
Lmao. Shut up, tool.
@@nelsonvontitfuk1471 go fuck yourself
@@timbush2381 Kinda boomer detected!
Tim Bush You seem very angry for a guy who’s probably in his 50’s.
MTV used to play music and the news used to report the news. Now 25 years later, neither does either of those things.
The news has always been propaganda for social engineering. And so is MTV.
Yeah, MTV has been shit for a long time now.
Real fake news is the mainstream media programming, sorry, propaganda.
NPR is doing more for music now than current MTV
DansBLACKFLAG some dude came up to me in my Jeep a few months ago and said how cool it was to see my Black Flag sticker on the back bumper. I actually saw like a 10 year old kid wearing a T-shirt a few years ago. Crazy.
My favorite thing to say is “where u goin city boy” in an aggressively deep southern accent
Pfft more like texas or something..no one in Mississippi sounds like that
That quote is actually from the movie Deliverance starring Burt Reynolds. Look it up if you dare...
Don't forget, "Dog will hunt" but thats another story.
"Dog will hunt" Primus sucks.
Just incredible...Primus invented their own style of music! I love this song still after all these years!
ERIC F...I still love this song after all these months...or were it years?

This is the guy who could’ve been Metallica’s bassist
He said it wasnt his thing and Metallica said he was too good. Lol .
Big Spice I love in the interview Les said he asked the Metallica guys “hey you wanna jam on some Isley Brothers?”
I saw an interview a few years back where he said that he more or less did the audition as a favor for Kirk. Apparently James and Lars thought he was a giant weirdo and a bad fit so they politely told him it wasn't going to work out. He said that the comment they made in the Behind the Music episode about him being "too good" for Metallica was a very nice thing for them to say, but complete bullshit.
nothingislogical Well to be fair, being in Metallica probably would’ve been quite musically limiting for him...
@@nothingislogical That's just Les being modest. Metallica were right. He is too good for them. That's not to say Metallica are bad musicians. They obviously aren't. But Les is just a monster bass player capable of playing just about anything.
The drummer always has a great sound, respect to their sound crew
That's all Tim and the way he tunes his kit.
I discovered Primus at 59. Now 60. Love them! Unique and original.
Same here. Rocks best-kept secret.
@Twilight Zone 2020 they never get radio play
4:30 it's one of the heaviest grooves i've ever heard.
You clearly don't listen to metal lol.
@@armyofninjas9055 genres other than metal can be heavy too, you fuckin neanderthal lol
@@armyofninjas9055 he is talking about the groove, not about a heavy riff :u
Army of Ninjas He was talking about the groove not the riff.
Joe Sudz Hahahaha
Les: How many weird tones you gonna get out of that guitar?
Larry: All of them and a couple more.
A bet the bass was smashing the audience in the chest. Pretty damn jealous
I was 16 when this aired, i recorded it on vhs, this and jerry was a race car driver. So friggin good after all these years. Im 40 now by the way
lowboy1one1 cool beans
41 here, I remember this too when it aired live, Halloween 1993
lowboy1one1 I’m 61, and Primus is just Fine by me!
lowboy1one1 Same. Early90s truly special.
Im in the same age group. What a time in music
whatever the heck that thing is on the balcony; its mesmerising.
Frances Synaan Buzzo from the Melvins. Another great band.
I was about to say it's a buzz Osbourne costume lol
A cabbage patch doll costume
Great to see King Buzzo from Melvins rocking to Primus in the balcony!
lmao
Good eye
I was wondering about that, is it supposed to be him or what?
Shaun Hill I was also wondering that. Thing is, that costume is how Buzz looks now, not how he looked in 93. He still had black hair in 93. Lol 😃
Yeah, pretty sure that's like a Cabbage Patch costume head or something the dude's got on.
Props to the sound guy, other Primus live TV performances have the bass all drowned out, but here it's very prominent.
It’s crazy how well Clay, Tim and Larry all know their instruments. It’s like they each talk with said instruments.
why is king buzzo on the 2nd floor above the drum kit
bigfish0184 why should king buzzo not be on the 2nd floor above the drum kit?
This fucking killed me
AHAHAHA
The real question is... Why not?
I was thinking the same thing
The early 90's was a great moment in rock music that has not been repeated since.
There should be crowd audition for primus shows
John Lennon in da house
My favorite comment in the history of all UA-cam
Lol did Les ever look young....
Seriously underrated comment
And now he's in a band with Lennon's son haha
John Lennon, you’re not in the house
You’re nowhere...
Imagine the size of the callous Les must have on the inside of his right thumb.
*outside
@@bradmacarthur3810 yeah, right. Sorry. It’s probably pretty leathery
Once you have been doing it for long enough it doesn’t bother you.
No one sucks like Primus!
Tony Cobain don't worry Newbie you'll understand one day
Tony Primus sucks! get with it
Dude they suck so good it’s crazy
Led Claypool is the best bassist of all time
@@dustinsneed2754 r/woooosh!
mai neim is mud🎵
The musicianship of each one of these guys on their own is off the chart-- together they are just beyond words-- alchemy and perfection!
3:49 that drum fill!!
I still find it so funny that the guitarist was in Possessed before he joined Primus 😂
God, they are fuckin awesome live!
PRIMUS SUCKS!
facts. ive seen them play in other shows and i like what i hear
1988-1994, how I miss you!!!!!
LOL. I remember this show. I always wanted the shirt Lers is wearing
I really love that this is a halloween show and it happens to be one of the few times the guys in primus are dressed normally. perfection.
That drum kit sounds amazing!
I had never heard Primus but when I saw them open for Rush I was an instant fan.
Primus AND Rush !
You lucky bastard. Oh and you have great taste in music. Lol
90s was the best decade!! 🤟😍🥳🤯
Amazing guitarist!!!!!!
Harry Wise bass or guitar? Because I love both!
Batboy Carroll Larry lalonde doesn't get enough credit he's crazy talented
One of the most under-rated guitar players, his influences are Eddy Van Halen and Jerry Garcia haha
Sucky guitarist, sucky bass, sucky vocals and drums, sucky song. God, they suck so much.
That's Ler!..he played in a death metal band called Possessed before Primus.
Well if this literally aired on "Halloween 93?" I was 16 years old with my 2 friends terrorizing Eastern Jackson County in Kansas City. Drinking, smashing pumpkins and mailboxes with an aluminum baseball bat.
Good people, good times
Legend tells of a legendary bass player who’s skills are that of legend. Audience members would go blind due to over exposure to pure awesomeness!
This is absolutely my favorite song by Primus. I can put it on repeat and listen to it forever this song. KICKS ASS 😎👍
I remember watching this live as a young'un. Nostlagia is thick right now
Superb quality. Thank you!
A rare mess up by Tim haha awesome.playted it one to many at end Claypool caught it in time though and muted the harmonic strum nice reflexes there if have totally hit that and missed the recovery.
Actually Les played one less. He muted it cause he realized he was one off then made the recovery
That bass is so sick
I saw primus live in the 90’s it was soooo damn good! Mad respect still for these guys ❤
Unbelievable bass. Unbelievable drumming. Unbelievable guitar.
Can think of 1000 things I was doing in 1993, cant remember what I had for dinner 2 days ago.
Honestly one of the greatest bass performances while lead singing too. And the moves. Complete show
Great live sound quality and mix for 1993👌
I have just realized there is someone upstairs with a Buzz Osborne costume.
Rod GS oh shit, I didn't realize it was sapposed to be buzz lol
I was about to make the joke and then I realized that it really is a Buzz costume hahahah!
Whats really weird is Buzz didnt start wearing the robes till later on.
@@MicheallikeMJ Talking about foreshadowing
Still this song rocks!
Sucks*
This song has one of my favorite releases out of any song ever. It’s so quiet and thick with tension during the verses and then HOLY FUCK!!!
The 🐐 of bass..
The actors who comprise the audience are weird.
Dick Richards but not weird enough
Richard Dick Richards?
Oh my god this is so fucking awesome
omg the sound is incredible. everything so clear and precise.
Ministry of silly walks inductee! Love it.
Fucking LOVE this song!
Always wondered what mitch hedberg did before comedy.
That was awesome ! ! I love the sound of that bass.....I'm drooling here.
That is a gorgeous bass. Good lord.
Me listening to music: there's not enough bass here.
Claypool: Allow me to introduce myself
Ler is so fucking good
Mr. Claypool always is so excited during all his live concerts ! I would love to meet him seems a likeable dude
Les is crazy. I love it
How can this man play this mind blowing bass lines and sing at the same time?!!
And then there's me... struggling with Cowboys From Hell...
Bass=❤️ YES!!!
Pretty much the most unique bass line I've ever heard in a song.
My late teen years right here! Those days man!
Claypool NOT dressed up! Man theyve always been super tight, Solid 3 piece bands amaze me! Huge Fan....
Primus rocks.....this is way better than that new age rap & bubble gum shit thay play now days on the radio
oh wow, we got an original over here
Nah they suck
No it’s not
Dude primus suck
Dennis Garrett Primus Sucks
This is my favorite Primus song
Much love for this band I've always liked primus I'm 46 so I definitely remember when this song came out
Funny how Kennedy was more respectable when was introducing Primus dressed as Grapes

thank you so much I'm so glad i got to see this
It's still amazing a band like this was mainstream in the 90's. Wild
Lmao, les didn't like that the end wasn't perfect! He looked at tim like "seriously dude"
Well les messed up, he forgot his harmonic. You can see him stop playing and Tim kept going because that harmonic is the last note. So he plays it in the next bar
That fuck up at the end.
Always wondered if that was a mistake or how they ended the song
A Greatest Funk - Rock band, forever 🤘 !
I watch this every day.
trying to figure out what Les is playing here I've seen him play this many times and I still don't know how he does it
I wonder if they know the historical significance of the phrase, “name is Mudd”.
This year will be the third time I’ve seen them live in 6 years lol
Wow incredible sound!!!
4:45 lol the drummer went one time too many and Les was like "wtf?"
Actually les messed up, les stopped too early
Les claypool is the greatest bass player of all time... Hands down...
Les Claypool is great...but the greatest bass player of all time is John Entwistle of The Who sorry..
Love claypool hes one of the best but not the best
Geddy Lee sorry
Amazing performance!
