Primus's "Those Damned Blue-Collar Tweakers" on bass - LRRG

[SamPthree]

Dope solo, man. Great job. Now I'm inspired to learn this, well, at least try it.

[Crodon]

So what bass do you use?

[ph4ntomlord]

Nice work man! I especially like the improvising.

[amazingpony]

excellent! and that bass is pretty sweet!

[WalkerMacd393]

Can anyone please give me a guitar tab for this song thats not on gp4? id really appreciate it.

[huijbens01]

nice dude, keep on playing

[gunguolf]

That's fucking awesome, lad. I wish I could do that changes from slap to tapping so fast. Great job and awesome song

[davo4772]

RIP Rob Michaud

[davo4772]

Nice work.

[enterthetoucan]

[TheNoobSpace]

THIS GUY SUCKS in a good way, primus sucks, this guy suck (thats a complament trolls)

[Apemopo]

awesome, as allways. keep it up man!

[TexasJ47]

you kinda look like if an indian was good at shreading on bass cause your sitting indian style like that haha a lil funny but hey your good

[crisco1up]

it was their thrid album suck on this frizzle fry and then sailing the seas of cheese

[zodiakironfist]

Excuse me, second studio album.

[SpliffusBongicaOfGor]

@crisco1up Politely, do you not think this man knows the albums?

[raynate2022]

Good job bro. If you people hate primus then why are you watching primus related videos? gtfo!

[Dethead666]

Dude you Suck as much as Primus does!

[richslayerbc08]

dethead666, your so ignorant, oh primus isnt all hail satan this and hate god that...so every music that inst like that must suck right...in my view primus has more musical talent and artistic creativity then any hail satan band will ever have anyday(other then dieicide....cuz there amazing guitarists's's)

[ShwanPugHah]

Actually, it's you sir, that is ignorant. Ignorant in the sense that you do not realize what it means to say "Primus Sucks." It's an anthem of sorts that real Primus fans chant from time to time. It stems from an interview where someone was saying how awesome they were, and Les turned around and said "No, we suck!" Henceforth, "Primus Sucks" has separated older, more seasoned veteran fans from the newer fans. Believe me, people who don't like Primus say worse things than this.

[zodiakironfist]

Shwan is right. Primus Sucks.

[raunchy1313]

suck on bro...let me know if u upload shake hands w/ beef

[DaneboJones]

I think the joke is going over your head. "Primus Sucks" was at one point their self proclaimed slogan at concerts. I don't think they say it any more, though.

[zodiakironfist]

Danebo is right, too....Primus Sucks! \m/

[tomphenomtom]

Thats A Compliment



[MentalExecution]

LOL watching you play makes me laugh. You're fun to watch play. You get all into it n shit.

[evilempire96]

man u are a class A musician!

random question, do you understand music theory, ie playing in keys and stuff, how scales relate to them etc?

as a guitar player im trying to get an understanding of it, so i can solo better and properley understand chord progressions.

[zodiakironfist]

I am clueless when it comes to theory stuff.....I am a slammer....I just grip it and rip it.

[evilempire96]

fair enough lol, seems to work well.

[Casemandoo]

grip it and rip it, haha. thats my new philosophy on music. :D

[Drratburn]

Dude, amazing, yet again. I request that you do 'To Defy the Laws of Tradition'. That'd be sick!

[zodiakironfist]

I did, and it had nearly 20,000 views when youtube took it down because UMG owns the rights. I can't play any more Primus covers because of it, so the ones that survived the copyright wars are the only ones I will have, I'm afraid.

[fery100]

How do you get your slaps to come out so loud? And what is the source of your music that you play by? You always wear the headphones but the cords run out of the shot.

[zodiakironfist]

I play into a USB guitar recorder. You can see all of the equip I play with on my channel page.

[MrSadistic81]

You...  Kick... Ass...

Tis a shame about the damn "copyright infringement" thing.

I've listened to this video tens of times just so I can listen to the best Primus song and your wicked bass playing.

I want the album. Your promoting Primus' album. Because of you, there will be one more album sold.

And they call it copyright infringement?

It boggles the mind.

[portloe1]

What is that bass dude?

[zodiakironfist]

It's a Schecter Stiletto elite 4.

[peacefrog421]

Sweet bass, man. What model is it and the rest of your gear? I have an old Framus, it's not too good. And how do you do the chorus riff? Every time i try to do that I hurt my hand and little to any sound is made.

Cheers, keep playing.

[zodiakironfist]

The bass is a Schecter Stiletto Elite 4, the recorder is an M-Audio fast-track, and the processor is a Digitech BP-80.

As far as the chorus riff....it's a matter of hitting the chords with a flamenco down-stroke.

[vortexofdoom97]

Wow, I continue to be impressed by your humility... I've been playing for three and a half years, and I can sing and play primus (At the same time) and I can't seem to be truly humble about it, even though I know there are many out there better than me... I mean I don't brag hardcore, but yeah... I suppose it'll come with time

[guns4play]

no one cares

[Steve9842007]

Post proof.

[slightlydestructive]

dude omg you are like so cool i wanna be you for halloween......who cares man

[Limpstein]

That was figgin' awesome man !!! Any chance you or any other members of the LRRG could teach a bass newbie how to play? I cant read a lick of music so im a lost cause when it comes to that.

[zodiakironfist]

You can get advice in the LRRG forums. Most of us do not read music, either, so it is not a problem.

[maxedwell]

It's official, after weeks of tuning in to watch you jam grooves, I am addicted to watching your vids, you sir are a baddass mofo.

[91rocker]

tab please lol

[UdUwUdU]

Great job man, as per usual. This is a fantastic tune and you most definately kick it out pretty hard. Your agressive tone is so good. Correct me if I'm wrong here, but I'm pretty sure that the highest register chord on the chorus is actually supposed to be a G# and a C#, not a G and a C. But whatevs man, 5 stars... Youre very talented

[funnystuff1284]

dude that was awesome, i love how ur sitting there cross legged and ur going crazy funny as hell, the only minor thing that is wrong is you are a little to fast like in 0:56-0:59 but other then that u are the master! keep on sucking like primus! :)

[opinionhead444]

Man, brother, you can play.

I have one question: how does your spouse feel about your playing in the house?

If it were my wife, she'd probably banish me to the shed or something.

Nice job, I like your playing.

[zodiakironfist]

She doesn't mind near as much ever since I got a direct input and a set of headphones. Thanks a ton for the kind words and rock on!!

[FunkyFellaDaBassist]

you rock dude

[BikerBucko]

I know I've commented in a couple of other vids of yours, but I'm really liking your work. I've basically settled in to spend an afternoon going through your stuff.

Not only are you very talented, but you are very humble about your talent and the ability to pick it all up by ear.

[beefy666]

That was good.

[BassAgent]

I like it! You should be a little bit more aware of your timing, you're a bit early now and then.

[jordonlees2]

MAN, you are my god. i am 15 and i have been playing bass for a year today, and everyone i play with says that i am going to go somewhere with bass. i am going to put some videos on youtube of me playing, and i will be honored if you watch them.

[zodiakironfist]

You put 'em up, and I'll watch them. Just let me know, and thank you for the kind comment.

[jdennis33]

You kick ass. Whats with the big ring. You a freemason?

[zodiakironfist]

It's an Ohio State class ring.

[Polaris440]

whew

[THTCRAZYAZN]

Wow, you really remind me of the less in everything you do...

[Yobobb]

How do you keep your sox so white? I'm amazed...

Anyway, nice job on the solo, you nailed it pretty well. Do you know how to play Tommy the Cat?

[zodiakironfist]

Yeah, but I do it way differently than the "offical" version. And I am a weird stickler about socks.....if they stain, I toss them out instead of continuing to wear them.

[69gizzer]

I beg of you oh god of the axe, please do a tommy the cat tutorial, I swear les would shit if he could hear you. He might sue you for bassline infringement though, Youre friggin identical!

[muspri]

DUDE your the guy plaed bonin in the boneyard, good song choices, hey id like to see you is it luck. then id bow down to you as a god

[kimberlyallshouse79]

Great Song!!! No one ever remembers the little songs on this album...glad I'm not the only one!!!

[PrimusClambake]

Like ur fills man, i tried to learn this solo once but i got pissed

[zodiakironfist]

I used to just make up a lot of stuff to go in that space where the solo is, but over time, I learned more and more of it. I think either way is perfectly acceptable, especially since Les changes the solo live.

[Tsanders33]

thats a sexy bass i have the exact same one

[Yobobb]

Nice fish tank :O

[PilchersSquad]

Man you're crazy. Exelenet cover. The only thing I still can't comprehend is how you can slap like that, My arm would be burning instantly

[jessesowens]

This is proof to me that it is IMPOSSIBLE to not go nut during the playing of this song

[drumteen]

absolutly awsome work man a new hero in my book for sure.

keep it up. i really realy need to practice more stupid time

[sickdiggitydog]

Gah! You beat me to covering this song!!!

The way I play the verse rest my palm over the bridge (muting the strings) and I play the E and F# with my thumb :).

But dude, Awesome cover! I was sitting here waiting for the bass solo and you fucking nailed it! Heh. Your Scheter sorta looks like my Ibanez.

Anyways, keep up the pro effort!

-Jack

[zodiakironfist]

Thanks, Jack. I sincerely appreciate it. I think that the way you play it is the same as Les'. I have always been the guy to do things wonkily.

[sickdiggitydog]

Hehe, you're spot on.

And you know what? Being different makes you stand out!

[fryBASS]

good to see i'm not the only one who goes crazy when they play this song :D

[poulainmatthiew]

do you learn music in a school or not ?

[zodiakironfist]

Heck no....I don't even know how to read music and I barely can read tabs.

[poulainmatthiew]

:D cool ! I don't know why but I Thought it ^^ No one need a school for this i think. & how long since do you play bass ?

[zodiakironfist]

22 years. Since I was 13 year old. And I agree....there is no need to go to school to learn how to rock. Rock comes from the soul.

[Atomikatt]

In my life most my favorite songs have had a nice N heavy riding bass and if my camera were hooked up right at this moment I'd say with in my Eric Cartman voice: Kick Ass!

[whoseurgranny]

not bad....

[pizza01]

YEAHHHH!!!!!! Great playing as always, I missed you, man!

No name for the bass yet? :(

[zodiakironfist]

Nope...no name yet, but I am getting to know it better.  For now, it is simply called "Scehcter". One day it will strike me like a thunderbolt.

[jrmwigga5555]

dude you are fuckin bonkers good! love your style

[tool772]

Okay, I am speechless! Just plain amazing. I think the fish in your tank were actually jamming along. :)

[ian2332]

Oh man, one of my favorite songs of seas or cheese. Wow. That was wonderful. all of your videos are just amazing. Keep em coming

[ian2332]

Off Seas Of Cheese*

[zodiakironfist]

Thanks once again, Nate. And you are quite observant, I nearly did keel over. My age is showing.
