guitar hero 2

[u01rfc8]

My name is John. I'm a fisherman. I find this video outrageously offensive.

[B2B76]

Love the YYZ intro, les loves & was so inspired by Geddy Lee

[system922]

Wow, havnt heard this is so long. These knobs played a show in the cafeteria of the junior college across the street from my high school in 1989 :)) Great live Album

[AmnesiacGaming]

primus sucks

[Wilbursson]

Yea I think the die hards know this is the album. Better than studio and you know its only one take best sound quality too...just raw. First song i made out to in 1994 : )

[smittybang]

its just for fun.. its YYZ by rush

[Enzo000000000]

Primus sucks.

[zmaniac666]

NO YOU SUCK ON THIS

[steeniville]

this is a cool live version on this song. before they had even released their 1st album.

look, the "RUSH XYZ thing" is a joke, a gimmick, that makes the listener think that its going to be a live cover of XYZ, but then it kicks into their own song: "John The Fisherman". Loads of bands do it. Primus haven't claimed they wrote the intro, it was added for artistic effect, which some people obviously don't have any idea about.

those people should WAKE UP!, and listen the song the WHOLE WAY THROUGH!

[TorrMup]

I tear this shit up on the air bass!!!!!!!!!!!

[ezekieloak]

Oh man, Primus Sucks.

[TreyRoque]

Primus suck.

Best live album in existence.... Maybe.

[jayfatha]

@TreyRoque It's just a matter of opinion

[BitchinnShoes07]

Best segue ever 0:38

[vealshanker]

anyone remember Primus opening for 24/7 Spyz. Calamity Janes on Boulder Hwy. in Las Vegas. Anyone?

[LJZeb21]

Amazing syncopation, brilliant song, bought this in 92' a few years after release and it's still gold!

[dzdncnfzd3]

why do people feel like they're negative opinions are important enough to post. Why talk shit about something, just quit listening and let the rest of us do our thing. No need for negativity guys lets grow as people and quit putting others opinions/preferences down

[1970metalfan]

john this is not the way lifes supose to be

[rolflukario]

whata plagio

[fireball773]

i hope everybody knows that the whole intro is YYZ by rush

[pupnuts]

its primus cover tho

[mrklavin]

@fireball773 yeah...its great, eh? Don't know if you know that YYZ is the call letters for Toronto international airport...hooray for Geddy, Les, oh yeah....and Canada!

[Dillbob1]

@mrklavin even more interesting is that the opening part of that song that primus does is actually repeated morse code for yyz if my facts are right

[mrklavin]

@Dillbob1 Why yes sir, I believe you are correct!

[guitarheroman4231]

@fireball773 i hope that everyone knows 2+2=4

[5A1312EWULFX]

opinions ehh, first ammendmant blah, more like limited free speech anyway who gives a shit.

[synj7]

primus suck !

[ninjaxhayabusa]

[kableble]

Nice YYZ opening, Primus rules. Oops, I mean, PRIMUS SUCKS!!! xD Kudos to Primus.

[ChrisY2JJ]

[ezekieloak]

Wow. This... Sucks.

[IEatFigs]

THEGAMEOFDEATH1970 and srgskitels

why don't you take your argument and shove it up your arses

- for everyone else this is an awesome song and thank you posting it

[waffleiron64]

I'm sorry but I have to say, I think if you put a Primus video on youtube you should just disable comments.

[marcushelbling]

Good Idea, But people have a right to post their opinion, no matter how ignorant it is.

[waffleiron64]

yeah, and you're opinion sucks.

...nah, just kiddin'. I'll agree that people have a right to post thier opinion, I mean that's the 1st ammendmant in the constitution, freedom of speech.

and sometimes the videos that have the comments blocked are the ones you want to ask questions about.

[ragglefraggle09]

y

flame wars happen everywhere. when pple on youtube fnally succumb and take out the comments ur nominally fucking 95% of the normal pple on youtube's rights. dont let trolls win like that

[yescharliesurfs]

you sir,are an idiot

[ragglefraggle09]

you sir, are ignorant. the actual ratio of normal people to trolls are like 100:1, trolls only seem alot more cause they annoy everybody >_>

so u can't take away everybody's right to comment just cause of a few trolls.. -_____-

[yescharliesurfs]

i dont quite understand,i was commenting to a troll who was ,as i said, being an idiot

[ragglefraggle09]

ah crap my bad thought u were replying to me =O

[yescharliesurfs]

no worries bro

[hippymonkmon]

@waffleiron64 I take it you're not familiar the bands slogan.

[CTRO13MrOG]

[zerosshadow32]

[LLTech]

[1970metalfan]

me!

[SErgisimo1]

my friends, you are listening to gold standard music. LONG LIVE ROCK!!

[SErgisimo1]

The way I know rock is that whatever i can see about the song you usually critic it. This song however, ROCKS! I thank my friend Jesica for letting me know that this song ever existed! THIS IS A ROCK CLASSIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!

[killbillycrustpunk]

Green Day, Sum 41, pretty much all of them turned POP?!!! AHHHH!!! Pop is just short for "Popular" hmm? go figure. money=success. this is america its all pop and t pain and soulja boy are not hip hop don't get it twisted. they're commercialized rap. rap is music, hip hop is a culture. and they're not part of it. sorry for the reality check. still appreciate the thought though, very nice.

[humboldtclimber]

hip hop is not culture anymore... dont you get it twisted...

[killbillycrustpunk]

maybe not your culture. but if you look REAL hard you may just find you're wrong.

[jimeceb]

rush rip off for a fishing tune

[Steve9842007]

You're pretty clueless aren't you? Rush was a huge influence on Primus. They did YYZ INTO John The Fisherman, which you would have realized if you listened past the intro.

[iacozizzle]

ya lol Rush is on record saying they like this specific version of John the Fisherman --it's hardly a ripoff

[scarred2112]

Then why would Rush have Primus open for them on their "Roll The Bones" tour in '91?

...and Alex Lifeson has even taken Les Claypool out fishing on his boat. :D

[jameshippiekid]

better than the studio version.

in my opinion.

[NoOffensebutdamn]

I second that, FOR SURE this is better than the studio version. way ahead of their time when this came out in 89'.

[DeckerFI]

The live intro is insane. A sure way to make the crowd go apeshit.

[agentham]

2 great songs for the price of 1.

[ddddale]

YOU FAIL, and hi.

[wompasdub]

fuck you this isn't live

[marcushelbling]

It's from their live album.

[ezekieloak]

Primus Sucks. Los Bastardos.

[shonjuan11]

cover, tribute it's kinda the same to me in this application. They love RUSH! You can here their influences occasionally in Claypool's bass and even in his lyrics. They are also influenced by Floyd in the same way! Let's celebrate their awesomeness! Have a Cigar! Peace Out!

[mrklavin]

@shonjuan11 Don't forget one of Les' big influences....The Residents

[andrewsk8rsolomon]

@shonjuan11 i like this guys positivity hahaha

[sankra]

F U C K Y O U !

[marcushelbling]

what did I do?

[ironngutt]

YOU SUCK! is primus talk for you rock!....i think FUCK YOU means fuck you!

[pippen79]

Guys this is Rush's YYZ at the start and then it starts into John the Fisherman by Primus... And as Rush was one of Primus's major influences it is a fitting tribute.

[thelastwish]

to end all quarreling the intro is an ode or homage to YYZ the rest of the song is original

[HackingCP2]

This is YYZ you fucking turd

[marcushelbling]

This is Primus, John the fisherman from the "suck on this album"

It's unedited

[HackingCP2]

The song is YYZ

[marcushelbling]

Listen to it all the way through.

[JuggalosKickAss676]

Oooh Burned

[MagicalFudgePeppers]

ha ha ha.

[JuggalosKickAss676]

Yeah

[RushSongs]

The song is paying tribute to Rush and their song YYZ. Then it cuts into John the Fisherman.

[JuggalosKickAss676]

Yeah

[101Volts]

That is such a funny album cover.

[ButterIsntGood]

I have this on my iPod lol

[erasermcfleafly]

lol.

[AnimaGt619]

yeah primus covers yyz and transition to john the fisherman thx bro been looking for this
