Well, Id Les has become a better bassist since this yes....if primus wrote a new album id put a 1000 bucks on it that it would be just as good as 89 if not better. Les hasnt lost his ear for unique, creative and excellent music. His musical skills have become, if anything, sharpened.
(Note: Im not saying hes not a good bassist in this video, hes a GOD of a bassist, im just saying he has become even more godly, or perhaps ungodly! O.o....i dunno im high.)
@cysublime I disagree, the Brown Album was a great album, even though a quarter of a step beneath its predecessors. Antipop had a couple of good songs, but overall was a bad album. But I forgive them, cause Les explained that the spark that fueled band was dying around 1999, and because Animals was a pretty good EP, and ALSO because this 2010 tour is kicking so much ass, and I know that the new album is gonna be fuckin sick.
@cysublime Damn, you were lucky to make it to two shows. I saw one, but it was the Red Rocks show, and it was damn great. It was like having God peak through the clouds, stare right into my eyes and say "You are my most wonderous creation." Hahaha.
@underscoreisnotvalid I saw Les Claypool in Chicago on his 'Fungi and Foe' tour and it was great, I mean he freakin Les Claypool! But I didn't rock like Primus.
if your asking if the bass riff was originally on a four string, it was. Tommy The Cat only requires four strings; the solo from the Sailing The Seas of Cheese version requires six ,however.
Well of course she came slidin' down the alleyway like butter drippin' off a hot biscuit. It looks incredibly hot in there, as though the air is getting slippery- & it's not to my surprise!
It is rumored that in early 1982 Les went to see a psychic that specialized in seeing the future. She told him apparently that he would be putting shingles on his roof in about thirty years and he would be approached by a cat. The cat would have a big blue collar and on it would be the name Tommy. Well as he inspects the cat a gust of wind would come up and blow him off the roof and put him into a coma. Ironically during the coma Tommy would be the only one to lay with him. So he made this song.
One night about 3 months ago I was using a Ouiji board and I channeled the spirit of Ronald Reagan. Apparently Mr. Reagan had quite a bit to tell me. He spoke at lengths about the coming global lard crisis, the lack of toilet paper reserves in the bureau of urine and feces, and strangely enough Les Claypool. I would never have known that Les refuses to wear boxers after a traumatic experience he had when he was a child with a rabid mongoose.
