[depsterboy]

[fake1skunk]

@depsterboy you`re damn right

[crayhead]

All Hail The Bucket!!!

[MooseyFate100]

Fuck yeah, Buckethead.

[frizzlefry420oh]

those damn two collar tweekers. hahahahahahah

[MagicDexter68]

Best Fucking version of tdbct ive ever heard!Buckethead Rulz

[Grafkores]

with what the fuck is buckethead making the effect from 5:48

[Killzor420]

@Grafkores harmonizer effect it stacks notes ontop of eachother, yeah its quite insane. long reply lol

[Dillbob1]

awesome when ler throws his pick up and tries to catch it with his mouth, cant tell if he did or not

[frizzlefry420oh]

i wonder if buckethead takes all that shit off when hes hangin with claypool. i mean they gotta talk to each other

[Mandyllyn]

The song is not to encourage or discourage Tweaks. Les is from the west coast and when you write your own songs you use a lot of things you see around you as inspiration, so I'm sure, with the west coast being infested with tweaks, it was easy to write the song!

[sociopathix]

@Mandyllyn Les does look down on tweakers though. He speaks of them in alot of his work, such as his novel.

[Mandyllyn]

@sociopathix  Are you talking about "South of the Pumphouse?" I haven't read it yet. I am for sure looking forward to it though.

[sociopathix]

@Mandyllyn yeah, its a great read. I loved it and cant wait for him to write a new one.

[cowheadvalentino]

2:15 full on orgasum

[jlinsenmaier]

the1970steve, couldnt have said it better! Summer tour be there

[mle4uandme]

Primus Sucks........!!!!!!!!!!!

[bucketguy88]

Brain & Buckethead owns

PRIMUS SUCKS!!!

[1970metalfan]

@bucketguy88 buckethead is in this?

[69chapino]

lol watch out for the brokeass tweakers because they'll still your shit and help you look for it

[69chapino]

lol just dont let the tweeker steal your shit and help u look for it.

[edslides]

"damned" is a pretty sarcastic word

[nyboy010101]

not really... "the damned", how does that ring sarcasm at all? it's more morbid in the dictionary. don't know where your from, buddy.

[edslides]

well nyboy, it goes like this:

i know plenty of PRODUCTIVE tweakers, and the irony is that the sarcasm is two fold, which is to say, it cancels itself out, almost. ergo, "damned" is in fact, sarcastic, the second time 'round.

did that clear it up for ya?

and the statement is "those" damned blue cllar tweakers', not "the"

grammatical difference.

[nyboy010101]

I wasn't referencing "the damned" to "those damned blue collar tweekers" i should have clarified. I still don't think "damned" is a sarcastic word, but yes I do agree he is making fun of them. I think this will become a senseless battle of simple misunderstanding if we keep it going, so why not stop while we're ahead. I think it really all depends on the "tweeker" for the song to be interpreted to, and later defined.

[ansonrotola]

Ona side note, all hail Buckethead. Les Larry and Brain, you guys fucking ROCK! PRIMUS SUCKS

[nyboy010101]

you look for cheap thumb's up A lot, don't you?

[nerocon]

Well said..

PRIMUS SUCKS!!!

[ansonrotola]

What he's saying is that while there is a war on drugs, we still need the tweakers and other drug users who use that stuff to get thier laborous jobs done and keep the world turning. Like "A day Without a Mexican" for drug users

[LinkAPD420]

Tweekers refers to people on Methanphetamine or uppers. Jus like all of the local "union boys" in any city.

[raiburn1]

meth and whatamine??

[BitchinnShoes07]

Primus sucks a big wet donkey dong

[Remeat]

Basically, Blue collar'd tweekers are the guys that work under the guys... and on, and on layoffs here in Detroit. No Jobs, No paychecks. White collars are the guys that get the kick backs (bonus cash) like Connnors but still get to keep their position while school funding is literally retarded. The people who cash in Massive bonus paychecks and cheat our kids are at fault. Blue collard tweekers are the factory rats in millions who are being downsized or "reduced". God help us all!

[nyboy010101]

yeah but when you look at the lyrics, he's sort of saying it's a sick twist. I don't think he's really defending them...hence the word "damn", in 'Damn Blue-Collar Tweekers"...

[Remeat]

Dad's business rarely goes unsold.

[antimindify]

like the song "harold of the rocks". read the lyrics closley. its a bout a crack head he met. hence the word "rocks" as in crack rocks. or "on the tweak again" i think he finds tweakers very amusing as do i. I definitley ndont support their use, but my town is full of them. their stupid as can be but its funny when you see some tweeker riding his makshift mountain bike down the road with a bag of recyclables. lol. when youve seen enough of um you can spot them from a mile away

[nyboy010101]

haha...love Harold of the Rocks. definitely my favorite song.

[sociopathix]

I agree I dont think hes really defending the tweakers, nor is he attacking them hes explaining a neccessary evil?

[the1970steve]

As I ponder your deep analogy and blow a giant cloud of white smoke from my clear pipe. I have to ask you " Have you ever tried drugs in your life?" The devils dandruff is forever defended by those like Les Claypool because it is the driving force of the West Coast underground culture and economy. It is something that many have no business playing with as it turns them into tung flapping, sexual deviants as oppossed to sexual diety's, and gutless rats. Primus celebrates the rest of us!

[sociopathix]

And as i read your comment and take a long haul off my glass bong I respond with "Yes"

Dont take my comment as an anti-drug statement, i was merely explaining les claypools love/hate relationship with meth tweekers.

[1970metalfan]

@the1970steve yay primus sucks!!!1!1!!1!!1!!!!!

[RawXIII]

@Remeat I hear ya, I am 1 of those n tha D that ur talkn about. On point statement...

[Remeat]

Highway workers supplied my best friend with coca to keep him working. My best friend was hung in his shower on a belt loop. "Just another dead Mexican", they said but the fire rescue team commented that they'd never saw a man dead with his hat on straight. Cops do little paperwork as possible. I miss my best friend. HIIAAh, HIIAAh.

[nyboy010101]

what does this mean?

[Vvran36]

man if buckethead came out at random at a show, I'd faint and start hyperventilating

[kewl2006]

he was born in a coop

raised in a cage

children fear him

critics rage

he's half alive

he's half dead

most folks just call 'im...

BUCKETHEAD!!

[FaceTheBass132]

Is it an envolope filter he uses in the last part of the song?

[FaceTheBass132]

sounds like it, yeah

[ninjast4r]

Seeing Buckethead live is two-fold. One, He's unbe-fucking-lievably awesome. Two, you'll have to live up to the notion that whatever you do in life will never amount to anything as awesome as what Buckethead has ever done.

[Snappingeel67]

funny

[The2ndJanester]

i feel bad for larry, he does his solo, and then buckethead comes in and sand bags him. lol.

[Drratburn]

Haha, tis true. But, Larry has always been underrated, not only has a guitarist, but as a band member for Primus. He's more than happy to just be up on stage, performing his songs with his band and friends. I know I would be. Hell, I'd be happy to jump on stage and dance for even just ONE song.

[The2ndJanester]

ya, i have done a couple songs and jams with some bands and it real fun.

[The2ndJanester]

whats that suppost to mean?

[nyboy010101]

what's what supposed* to mean? x)

[Plas13]

Im not a big fan of buckethead, prefer Larry cuz Larry is a bastard...

[kovalevisgod]

Everybody say "Larry, you're a bastard." "LARRY YOU'RE A BASTARD!!!!"

[The2ndJanester]

ya im not a big fan either, i just admire him for the way he plays guitar.

[neilpeartrocks2112]

@Plas13 hahaha i remember that "Everyon say, Larry your a bastard" "LARRY YOUR A BASTARD"

[The2ndJanester]

idk how he fucking does it. buckethead just shreds. ive tried everything, i dont know how he does it.

[The2ndJanester]

this song is one of the best primus songs ever done, besides my name mud. it moves people and makes them want to jump arround like maniacts.

[mudroo]

ive replayed this clip about 4 times and it really looks like he just pops out of nowhere

[Mhndo]

Hes bucketninja!

[ninjast4r]

He did/does. He can manipulate the time/space fabric, sort of like Ted Nugent deflecting bullets.

[Thejanester88]

man, idk how buckethead does it. hes just amazing.

[cultofbluezeppelins]

ladies and gentlemen.. i want you to repeat after me please.. buckethead buckethead buckethead buckethead!

[twisted21bassist]

Larry is the most under rated guitarist out there, he gets over shadowed by Les alot, he even took lessons from joe satriani.

[FaceTheBass132]

What the hell is that at 2:25 flying around?

looks like someone's kegs!

[Tilaron]

"Two" collar? ... fail.

[CapAlvarinho]

sorry xDDD

[Tilaron]

lols np :P

[frizzlefry420oh]

@Tilaron hahahahahahhahahahahahhahahaha­ha fuckin noob!!!!

[maxedwell]

THANK YOU for posting this, the other guy who posted it put up a poorly synched copy argh.. This one is excellent! Again, ty!

[PrepDee]

[Jurassic104]

He has a MJ sticker on his guitar, how pimp.

[KORNKID93]
