    Bassist, singer and spiritual leader of one of the cult bands of the first half of the 90s, Primus, Leslie Edward Claypool, is best known as one of the apostles of slapping (a playing technique aimed at producing percussive sounds on an originally unsuitable instrument). A protean musician and deeply gifted artist, he made his debut in 1984. After being passed over as Metallica's bassist ( because it would have been too good), Claypool formed a band with Todd Huth, which they called Primate before changing the name to Primus. Joined by Larry Lalonde and Tim Alexander, the band began to make a name for themselves with their inimitable style of psychedelic rock, jazz, heavy metal and funk, all in an artistic universe that was both brilliant and quirky!,Like the artists ;Buckethead or Jaco Pastorius( Weather Report)!!
    Great reaction !!! Glad that someone introduced you to Les Claypool and Primus🔥

    Nice one… they’re heyday was in the early 90s. Very hard to categorise.
    My local record shop in the 90s had a section called U.S Funk/Metal
    Here you’d find Primus, Jane’s Addiction, RedHot Chili Peppers, Living Color, Faith No More, Infectious Grooves, Fishbone etc.
    Gorgeous stuff!

    Les Claypool (bass) and "Larry" LaLonde aka "Ler" LaLonde (guitar) have been playing together since 1989. There have been several drummers since the band was formed in 1984. Not sure who's on drums in this performance. I won't give a long history lesson here; anyone can look up the details online. Maybe - after a bit of a break - you could give Primus/Those Damned Blue-Collar Tweakers/Woodstock '94 a go. Live performances of Primus are the best. P.S. Les Claypool and Sean Ono Lennon have released two albums together, calling the band The Claypool Lennon Delirium. The first, Monolith of Phobos, was released in 2016, The second, South of Reality, was released in 2019. A case of "truth is stranger than fiction." - !

    Yo Rory!
    Glad you're going down the Primus Rabbit hole. It is a fun one! They're quircky for sure, but so god damn good!
    The Les Claypool / Geddy Lee comparison is on point. In fact, in terms of musicianship, all 3 in Primus are on par with the guys from Rush. Tim Alexander, the drummer, has such tasty grooves! SUPER underrated. He is the reason I fell in love with this band. Listen to their first 2 albums, "Frizzle Fry" and "Sailing the seas of cheese". Peak Primus right there.
    Also, if you played Tony Hawk's pro skater on PS1 back in the day, you may have heard their song "Jerry was a race car driver", it was on the soundtrack.

  • @zachariousmccool5768
    @zachariousmccool5768 Рік тому +1

    The Bass is "Les Claypool" (whome was turned down from Metallica because he was "too good") His whole "matra" was making the bass the center of the universe.....and in my opinion he succeded. Geddy Lee is good but I think Les is better.
    Larry Lalonde is the guitarist and he is absolutely incredible.....he was taught by Joe Satriani....the best guitarist alive. And lets not forget Tim Alexander on drums....he kills it so much.
    Primus is what I think of when I think "Superband" Havent heard anyone come even close to their unique sound and sync

  • @peggyh8937
    @peggyh8937 Рік тому +3

    Yes!!!! Knew you would love this! I've been waiting for you to get around to this. This is a band of fantastic musicians who have a hilarious sense of humor. They did the theme for South Park. Les Claypool, the bass player, is the best I've ever seen. Fun fact: He auditioned for Metallica years ago and was basically told he was to good to play with them! If you watch the original video of this song, you will understand what he's saying...plus it's a great video. I also HIGHLY recommend Primus' original video of Wynona's Big Brown Beaver.

Seen all of Les Claypool's side projects also, and the good thing is, they have a sense of humor. Great reaction Rory, dive into some more of their stuff, you will dig it!

    • @karenfryberger4260
      @karenfryberger4260 Рік тому

      Excerpted from an article By Liz Scarlett( Metal Hammer ) last updated September 20, 2022:
      "...there's a reason why they didn't pick me (Les). I didn't fit and they saw that. I had my own thing going and it was a wise move on their part.
      ...Claypool was asked by Kerrang! whether the rumours were true that when he auditioned, Metallica frontman James Hetfield rejected him on the basis of the bassist being too talented for the role, stating "Man, you're much too talented. Go do something wonderfully weird on your own."
      In response, (Les) said, "He definitely did not say that. He said that later on in an interview, which was very kind of him. I think they thought I was a freak. They were very nice...and, of course, I knew Kirk [Hammett, guitar] from high school.
      "But I think that James thought I was some sort of thug. Put it this way, I definitely didn't look the part."
      As for what Metallica would have sounded like with the funk-infused style of Claypool's, he imagines "Well, however it would have sounded, I would have only lasted for a month or two before they kicked me out. They've got enough chefs in the kitchen in that band - they don't need a guy like me."
