PRIM  U.S

[thewhitezombie666]

les claypool and the primus?

hmmm...

[nbgsarge]

YOU SUCK , come on dude. it's musician music

[5tonyvvvv]

Primus!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[picapees]

check out the cello version of this song.

over the falls cello key words

[tholden84]

Over the Falls

[stickybandit81]

whats the name of this song anywayz!?

[basicphenomenon]

that was the shitest cdrum kit and bass sound on that album

[Meatballhead07]

UNDERRATED.

It deserved to be in all caps.

[almightyfoe]

i wish this song was longer because i love everything about it

[tangorenagade]

Well thats messed up. This song is Over the Falls and this is the actual video made for this song. However on the MGA youtube channel they dont have this one. So whats the big deal MGA. Your going to end up losing money.

[dudesons441]

what song was it?

[sickmicbiscuit]

bunch of lame ass fucks, if you ask me...

dicknoses!!!

[ponytail108]

assholes :(

[muybueno724]

it'd be one thing if there was a link to where you can actually see the video

some people actually want to watch it.... =/

[metalheaven]

Friggin Copyright.

It feels ironic that Primus, a band that seems to denounce the corporate music industry, has had its song removed from YouTube by their record label.

[brentilda25]

i know dude it sucks but somebody has put a scandinavian metal band over the video for john the fisherman. that is the only good thing to come out of this

[StormyBugsy]

hi

label =! form band

; )

[skootrd]

@1:30 lyrics to live by "for lack of persistance is surely a sin"

[WebcamFreak2008]

This song is so amazing, it blows my mind!

[brunetteinsanity]

I just woke up and I remember having a dream with this song in it last night! I don't remember the details, no words to the song, just the music. Amazing.

[dirkustom]

PRIMUS SUCKS!!! this song and vid tell another killer primus story. PRIMUS SUCKS FOREVER!!

[welimanning]

they really need a better singer

then they could rock

i mean ANYONE for singer

[hamid86]

lol you're a moron

[EnergizerBunny804]

Les Claypool certainly isn't the most talented singer ever but his voice does suit their music.

[Loobi2shoes]

yup. moron

[TheDigo]

like jimi hendrix said, a voice doesent have to great for singing, it just has to have character, and les has plenty of it

[AlexBurtonFilms]

les is a great singer, nobody can replace him in that band. he is the best singer/bassist combo.

[guitardude217]

his voice isnt the best but its a signature of primus, his voice is like the color of someones eyes, they may not be the color that everyone likes but it charactorizes that person

[CountVanAccount]

Well said.

[TehWickturkey]

Lol I love spinning the stand-up bass xD

I play with two of my friends at my school's orchestra, I wish we could preform Primus lmao!

[minitsrule]

the drummer looks sooo cool in the tux and the bowler hat

[Leoncito89]

i cannot stop listen at this, and i say it over and over again...

so deep, so true, so basically undeniably.. so human related...

thanks God´s for this.

[SOADafi]

the brown album was totally differnt from their earlier, their songs were more basic and slower paced, hey, it was a good change but I prefer them back in the Herb days

[MrVulgaris]

I have to half-agree with you on that. I agree that Primus was (and is) much better with Herb as a drummer and that Brown Album differs from all the rest, but I have to say I didn't care much for Brown compared to the others. It just wasn't very Primus-ish.

[SOADafi]

i guess its all about taste

[MrVulgaris]

Not that it wasn't good... I mean, Primus will ALWAYS suck!

[SOADafi]

haha, makes sense!

[2pacchrist]

Primus Sucks! This is fucking amazing!

[dmdemonyx]

PRIMUS SUCKS! :) Its brilliant!

[ninjast4r]

"Hey, I have an idea."

"What's that, Bob?"

"Let's throw some guy in a barrel and chuck him over a waterfall."

"Brilliant!!"

[marcushelbling]

brown

[forklift77]

fuckin awesome video!

[mikekettman]

is that tom waits making the vessel in the video? anyone know?

[Flyingcookiepros]

its possible because tom waits and primus did some songs together, good ole google

[iluvrhcp1014]

yes, that's Tom Waitts....

[Arthounot]

UH?

[todmel111]

THE most original band.its psychadelic polka,haha :)

[thebestbassist]

but you will get an 11/8 every once in a while!

AND HOW DARE YOU SAY PRIMUS SUCKS!!! (jk)

[fishbonegroove]

And why is that? It is actually a good slogan, and I happen to like it, just as I love Primus. The fact that they don't think it's funny anymore doesn't mean I have to stop using it. I am a grownup now, I don't have to let Les decide what I can or can't say, do I?

[fishbonegroove]

The previous comment should not have appeared there - it was a reply to those who advocated dropping the 'Primus sucks' slogan because the band has stopped using it.

[differentbeing]

As if you ever had to..

[Ashfeild69]

primus is one of the most talented bands around but their music videos are really weird -.-

[BMBAUS]

This song gave me extreme flatulence, but I happen to love flatulence so I also love this song. And touching chickens on their rude bits. :D

[primussucks]

hanna montana rules

[vman33432]

anyone who says primus sucks, go listen to your hanna montana then.

[AnimeCrackers]

your mom should slap you, it's thier slogan in the 90's

[Maskcapated]

Claypool is god.

[Xxeden1017xX]

its sweet how les can do slap on an upright bass. cool song because it has a bluesy sound to it... LOVE IT! PRIMUS SUCKS!

[manferot]

Delta blues riffs in a Primus song?

LIES!!!!!

Primus sucks!!!!!

[lmm166]

Does not get any suckier than this.

[homarruiz]

omg fucking posers, stop that already. primus does suck. stop minusing :]

[Wiruebermensch]

Suck an intense song.

[Adriansfubass]

isnt this song about the dude who died at the niagra falls trying to go over it in that barrow?

[bobopatchigglerrulez]

best band evur

[7EyeMongoose]

I think its pretty awesome that Les claypool can play slap bass the way he does, and play an upright. definately one of the greatest

[oschugo]

bestias. son los mejores

[robpiv82391]

i like the singing in this song. its not crazy like u saod.

[CaptainPierceXx]

I love how this is definitely their most "normal" sounding song, but we've still got Claypool's wacked-out voice reminding us that it's still Primus

[hyperbilly13]

This song has awsome bass and im 13 years old.

[scottstephenson]

Les started playing when he was 12, he found the bassist's he liked and studied them. If you are a bassplayer, Les is one of the ones to study.

Speaking as a bassplayer

-Scott

[PRlMUSSUCKS]

How the fuck?

Hammer ons on an upright?

Enlighten me oh great Les Claypool.

Teach me your ways.

Of Pwn at Bass.

[Homepie]

Before he plays, Les Claypool soaks his hands in a bowl of children's tears. This gives him his power.

[BIGCAL50CAL]

LMAO!

[flectz]

You know how he does it? It's pretty easy... all you have to do is stand by and wait to be called and wait like the others before.

[utubegetstedious]

all the preparation, all the desire for glory, and i bet he died.

[kmvoss]

Go Vannila Ice on da drums!

[mashimaro246]

oh i see. les claypool's marvelously HANDSOME. that's cool! but i already liked primus!

[turnippooferman]

what is this song about? it seems to me as it is about murder by throwing people over the falls in barrels, but the video doesnt help.

[kmvoss]

It is about the duplicity of man, and how it relates to the decision a madman makes to go over the falls or not.

[turnippooferman]

thanks. my band was going to cover it.. but i wanted to get someones opinion of the meaning. very much appriciated:)

[bodiza420]

Here recently I had the same though.. it's about someone going, or getting ready, to "go over the falls," or insane.

[nich8244]

Most Primus songs have no deep meaning. They are ballads. Sit back and relax while they tell you a story, pure and simple. People used to actually build vessels and go over Niagara falls. Two people by the names of Annie Taylor and Bobby Leach were the first to do so.

[unicycledude42]

what are any primus songs about

[MBMyers37]

Yeah, what gives with that? Tell me that they WEREN'T high when they wrote "Mary the Ice Cube". TELL ME.

[MusicianPooper]

They weren't high.

[MBMyers37]

Well played, good sir.

[kmvoss]

Lyle Lovett the mechanic!

[7EyeMongoose]

les looks fancy. Primus=wonderful.

[mermerpurpur]

Les looks so sophisticated with that double bass hahahah aww

[Baia1969]

alright, so one of my friends said Claypool is playing the cello. It's the stand-up bass right?

[darksideofthemoon7]

Ya upright bass or double bass. Cello is much smaller

[codemaster667]

you should search for apocalyptica

they're playing on cello's...

[choa4]

hate to say it but i just cant take apocalyptica seriously with their cellos

[abombinol]

another good band with double bass is living end

[abombinol]

though they dont compare with primus

[Rikxcore]

or any psychobilly band.

[wickedratched]

care to explain?

[forklift77]

fuckin awesome video.primus kicks ass!

[Cizcan]

Is this Larry on guitar? I know that isn't Tim Alexander on drums, but is that Larry on guitar?

[satanhc]

On drums, mr Brain Mantia, who left Primus to play on Guns n Roses,hahahah fucking bastard...

And, yes, on guitars on this vid, Larry LaLonde, as always...

[shinjiyasuno]

what kind of guitar is he playing? i've seen him use it for this song live but i don't know what it is.

[josefreak5]

i believe it is a grestch.

[choa4]

naw, grestches are hollowbody, it looks like on of les paul's early creation

[josefreak5]

i wanna say its a Synchromatic Archtop

[rageagainstthechains]

over the falls is my fav primus song because  primus is a good band PRIMUS ROCKS

[orbeavis]

im so sick of this people saying primus sucks

im an old school fan and the saying was "primus you suck" but people are to retarded to say that and it turned into primus sucks

[RedNietzsche]

which album is this song from?

[jerrymason4]

The Brown Album, if all else fails, you could always good it...but you know, I'm old fashioned.

[jerrymason4]

shit, replace "good" with google, my bad, damn dyslexia ...

[RedNietzsche]

excellent! thanx 4 yur time

[wallsk8r]

This vid goes so great with the song

[HeavyRiff9]

all of em do even when they put old vid clips in them like in laqurehead

[grossman81]

this is my favourite ( 2nd is tomy the cat :P

[wallsk8r]

nah dude, jerry was a race car driver qonquers all. :P

[fil146]

Respect forever.

[dexTube]

I saw them after Pork Soda dropped. I was 12. At the Orpheum in Boston which is a small venue, you could hear people screaming 'You Suck' at the top of their lungs from a block away. Best show ever.

[curtsey]

Such a sexy mustache... yum

Primus sucks! Woo!!

[viking2972]

rip LUKE...

[witeheaven]

awsome doble bass!!

[bigdaddytorr]

One of my friends just committed suicide by jumping of Silver Falls, everytime I hear this song it kind of reminds me of him. RIP Luke

[charmingwizkidwizard]

Primus sucks!!! :DDD

[flaberjac19]

Shut up primus rocks u prick!!!

[charmingwizkidwizard]

O.o

Don't you know that's sorta their catch phrase or what ever you call it?

"Primus Sucks" Means Primus Rocks.

Duh.

[codystratton]

YEAAAH PRIMUS SUCKS!

[ibanezman14]

this just pure genius

[theemortalgoat]

someone told me the guy making the barrel might be Tom Waits. I can't tell with that getup he's got on, does anybody know for sure?

[deanfreeman]

definetly not tom waits

[theemortalgoat]

I didn't think it looked like him, but my buddy and I were talking about Tommy the cat, and then he says "You know I think Tom Waits is in Over the Falls." and I says "No shit?"

[cadetglow]

primus sucks!! <3

[flaberjac19]

Primus dosent suck u suck

[PurpleHatMusic]

you idiot thats their motto,"PRimus sucks" Google it you idiot =] PRIMus SucKS

[grossman81]

hey purple dick ! you may not like primus, but thats yur opinion, and I don t respect it.

[PurpleHatMusic]

What are you tlaking about? I LOVE PRIMUS "Primus sucks" IS there motto you idio, you didnt google it did you?

[kootenaycam]

"we're primus....we suck!"

[juzeklz]

you shit. damn straight. primus sucks:)

[13eStraight]

they have a few good songs but in my oppinion they're not the greatest song writers their songs get really repetitive

[jitteryone]

try listening to some les' solo work, it gets wierd but it is very creative and very original

[noyzone01]

Before i ever heard of primus, i had no appreciation for bass whatsoever. Thank you, primus. This song = proof.

PRIMUS SUCKS!!!!

[GeorgeHumperty]

this song rocks just hear that bum bumbumbum bass play as elephant walking its way

[joshbergg]

fuck primus why cant they be normal

[Blk6Metal6Guitarist6]

fuck you buddy, Primus sucks!

[spugintrntl]

fuck you why can't you get a life

[FuckY0utube72]

Primus sucks!

[bobopatchigglerrulez]

if they were normal then the would suck just like every other band its their originality that makes them good unlike crappy nickleback

[gutterfly13]

EXACTLY! they say primus is "repetative"? LOL!!!

nickleback writes almost the same song EVERY TIME!!!

and by the way..

primus sucks! i love them!!!!!!!

[phxsns1]

As for people who say Primus is repetitive,IT'S CALLED A CHORUS YOU RETARDS!!!!

[bananabaconcake]

I'm glad that theres a famous band from Alberta finally (Nickelback). But holy hell, why do they have to suck so bad?

[joshbergg]

faggots

[phxsns1]

ass

[opinionhead444]

I parallel this song with "Daredevil" by The Tragically Hip.

The subject matter is somewhat similar.

[demoniccow666]

probobly my favorite primus song

this, and hats off.

[CultofJ]

that's great, i had no idea a video existed! Love the brown album.

[thispooiscold]

is that Tom Waits in the video?

[bobopatchigglerrulez]

wtf

[JaredtheWizard28]

wtf?! VICTOR IS A GOD WITH HIS DICK SLAPPING

[Mrfreakmeade]

This song reminds me to willy the pimp from zappa

[SENIORTACO101]

i like herb better than brain. if you look at the inside cover of sailing the seas of cheese, youll see that brain was in los bastards.

[bfish420]

brain was actually given credit as one of the backup singers on frizzle fry, mainly the line "CALLING JOHN THE FISHERMAN!" on said song.

[hinneinisannidanni]

Ahh, this is awesome. Why did no one tell me about this band before? I'm holding all of you personally responsible!

[noyzone01]

Glad to see a new fan, you should check out their cover of metallica's "master of puppets"

Cant wait to see em again!!!

[mikeypbass]

Primus is prolly one of the most original bands ever... PRIMUS SUCKS!

[powerhouse250]

what kind of a bassist are you if you don't even like primus?!?!?!

[mikeypbass]

PRIMUS SUCKS WAS THERE WAY OF SAYING PRIMUS ROCKS ugh! how many times have we explained this to people!! I ♥ Primus like you have no idea

[funnystuff1284]

i hear you man! even though primus kinda hates it when ppl say primus sucks, i still think its a cool way to show your a long time fan of primus. LONG LIVE PRIMUS!!!( even though they broke up) MAY THEY SUCK FOREVER!!! LOL

[bobopatchigglerrulez]

actually they reformed and they are makeing a new album that will come out late 2008

[funnystuff1284]

your an retard lol

[Samaflame]

Primus sucks is thier catch phrase. it was until they lost money to faggs like you who dont understand

[PhantomAL]

Best song off of Brown Album, next to Bob's Party Time Lounge.

[Outsider789]

kingdamageblast if u like primus so much u would know that "primus sucks" is like their modo

[diablofn]

[modobomber]

[Murkaba]

[kingdamageblast]

You have no real taste in music you stupid fucks. Primus fucking rocks. Les is the best you'll ever see.
