Primus - Greet the sacred cow (live)

[TheLeoOfCostaRica]

Why is Vic Mackey introducing Primus?

[NORRISPUNCH]

4:11 thats the maddest camera view.

[KreatorOfDeath1985]

Better than the studio version

[pivovinorakija]

ovo  je kidanje...

[MultiKaralho]

muito bom mesmo esse som!!!!



[CarltheGirafe]

look at all those girls enjoying primus.... why aren't they real?

[reginaldbeck]

fave

[TheMadRobb]

3:02 the most amazing sound I've ever heard a bass make.

[C4LXD]

This has to be one of their best live performances on YouTube!

[omarkaya42]

Close ups on Les' hands at the end, say 4:10 and beyond, are choice. This, folks, is where it all happens.

[STGstudios]

"kill the sacred cow" 3:49

[Natural11001001]

Everyone likes to hate on the Antipop album, but this is one of my favorite Primus songs. Great performance!

[BradleyVolk3]

@Natural11001001 That whole album was fucking great if you ask me.

[omarkaya42]

@BradleyVolk3 @natural11001001 You're both spot on. This is one of the most unique Primus albums due to its song structures and production which sort of broke away from the Primus formula. Green Naugahyde drops right back into the thick of it, which is fuckin' choice, but Antipop is SPECIAL, and folks will realize this even more as time goes on. Sick!

[BradleyVolk3]

@omarkaya42 Yeah you are right about the production. That was the first Primus album that just came off sounding crystal clear to me, to be able to seperate the bass from the drumming and guitars... I just got home from seeing them live tonight in Pittsburgh! Sadly my friend, not one song from Antipop :-/ Awesome videos from that show will be posted!!! ;-)

[soccerprog226]

Les Claypool is god. Primus sucks!

[d3vill0ck]

I wish the video was of better quality, the performance is brilliant!

[jimmyz171]

les claypool is the shit! and the brain is a drum thumpin machine. this was by far there best album ever. I hope the new one is just as good.

[7000ironman]

not plants ..that show usually have females like that there anyway no matter whos playing , this song is nasty!!!

[megadeth2thenwo]

matt pinfield? lol

[GrowTheCaine]

18 people will not greet the sacred cow.

[46az46]

UH!!

[DrumBum561]

Never seen girls like these at a Primus show. Lol. Obviously plants. But this song kicks ass

[24opium24]

doesnt get much better than this..

[7777Jah1]

!5 people who thought Primus wasn't good sucked! Les for prez!!!!! :)

[5kernschmelze5]

where are the bastards in the crowd man??

[brucenatelee]

I meant not just one video with one person's opinion, but statistics of many professionals' and fans' thoughts and other shut.

[brucenatelee]

Oh... My... Shitukerfuk (copywritten)!!! Les is a BEAST! I need to find an official "Greatest Bassist of All Time" video, not just based on opinions. And what if he worked with Tom Morello. SUPERPLANETARY RIDICULOUSNESS!!!

[lidoevera]

that bass is amazing!

[HMDopeman]

fucking cool!!!!!

[ryan49er1]

@sailorblumoon hey its free and available at anytime so stop being so picky lol

[bojanks15]

primus just came in my ear

[SheedyDoo]

@sailorblumoon shut up

[savedapandas319]

Primus would be so much better with a different singer

[KreatorOfDeath1985]

@savedapandas319

shut the fuck up hes perfect!!!!

Les Sucksss!!

[TheDeftonesVault]

@savedapandas319 Oh, how very wrong you are.

[BrettDixonMusic]

Boner Status: On

[BlueTurk424]

Pirmus Sucks. Want everyone to know that.

[NAFGamer]

True fans know the meaning of that.

[SlyzCooper]

I can play this song!

[longrangeskeeter]

isent this song about a guy with cancer?

[TehSorso]

@longrangeskeeter Yes it is.

[Ulfar22]

Primus REALLY sucks when you're partaking of certain herbal remedies.

[ndlaxball2]

@Ulfar22 gotta love those herbalecent materials

[TorrMup]

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOL that guy at 3:56 rocks!

[TheUnitedStatists]

les > flee

[MrMatt29999]

the song is alot better without that stupid intro

[BIGCJMCNASTY]

Real fans are in the pit in back.

[bojanks15]

primus is the greatest

[greenvaepor]

I still say Les looks like Edward Norton in this vid.

[Zolive51]

wow

[corneliusvanDB]

the timing in this song is fucking tight

[GoGoNards]

antipop is such an amazing album! without that album i probly wudnt have gotten into primus. Brain's drumming is phenomenal!!!!!!

[lopezmatthias]

@GoGoNards Its actually the one Claypool enjoyed recording the least, lets not even mention touring. No wonder its the last one.

[Charlie1821]

@lopezmatthias It's amazing how good the music he made was even though he enjoyed it least.

[uiruu]

@GoGoNards Props to you for not being cliche and praising Claypool. While Claypool is amazing, the other bandmembers are just as talented.

[trajhver3]

does he EVER miss a note ... ??

[ddboris]

@trajhver3, sometimes....on voice!



[MrSteveenn]

@trajhver3 hes too awesome to miss notes...

[dinkus4727]

@trajhver3 they do and make it sound better

[paddlesailnitro]

@trajhver3 Notes miss Les when he ain't playing.

[SwiftySwormsOfSwill]

@trajhver3 claypool misses a few notes once in a while. saw them live in clearwater this summer. he wound up thinking he had to play the solo to Bob first. Larry shaked his head not to play that song after he played its riff, he said "sorry folks, wrong song"; thus playing the beginning to the Electric Grapevine (which was REALLY fucking long).

[festereugene]

Rush sucks? Shyeah... Id like to slip all 14 of their platinum albums straight up your pooper you little toad... Go find something better to do than rip on bands that you know nothing about.

[Threshingfloor814]

By far one of their most underrated songs.

[ratmforthewin]

@Threshingfloor814

yes. this is an AWESOME song! :D

[mexicanchiliman]

@TheBen67

I know all their stuff isn't like this but this song reminded me of one of RHCP songs off one of their earlier albums. That's all.

[mexicanchiliman]

@redwatchnewzealand

1. I'm English not Mexican

2. Mexicans are some if the nicest most hardworking people I've met

3. I don't give a shit what you think; i like all RHCP

[tomoguk]

WHY THE HELL ARE YOU SHOUTING, YOU'VE GOT A MICROPHONE!

[comanfresh92]

Како су добри, јебем им сунце!

[PseekoBotoX]

That's fuckin music... I wanna live in the 90's...

[harrythe12th]

bah everytime i hear this song i remember when i tried to confront someone who said "PRIMUS SUCKS!"... fail!.. but now i know! PRIMUS SUCKSSSSSS!!

[PattyWhomperOFFICIAL]

the hot girls there could have been wooks after a ride in a convertible through the carwash...

[StrOcc]

since when do hot girls go to primus shows?

[RenderedMusic]

@StrOcc when you're as good as Claypool everyone is blown away by you

[brendinoglackino]

that bald twat called them prius,i know they suck but they dont dont deserve to suck like that car

[mexicanchiliman]

It's like early rhcp music

[redwatchnewzealand]

@mexicanchiliman Go back to sleep you lazy Mexican, early RHCP sucked, new RHCP sucks.

[TheBen67]

@mexicanchiliman not really, early rhcp was funk, this is psychadelic polka

[1970metalfan]

@mexicanchiliman if flea did acid,smoked crack,and snorted about a pound of coke

[FeelingShred]

Brian Mantia, please come back again!

Brown Album and Antipop are so cool

[Grafkores]

those 18 people are popies

[voicesinmehead]

to be fair that girl saying there's female primus fans is most likely a fat dog with dread locks....dunno bout you but in my neck off the woods all of the nice birds listen to rihanna and all of that kinda bullshit...you might get the odd hot lookin emo bird or sum shit

[mastafdisasda]

PRIMUS SUCKS!!! :)

[Glennardthebassist]

There are girls that like Primus, but even those girls should agree that they're few and far between. A few years ago I dated a girl who only vaguely knew them but got right into them after hearing my vast collection of their tunes. I've dated several girls since then, and the best I got was polite tolerance of my musical taste. Hopefully one of these days I'll meet another Primus loving lady :)

[PaolaiBenny]

@Glennardthebassist I happen to be a female and I cannot get my eyes off them and I just love this sultry bass.

[Glennardthebassist]

@PaolaiBenny Well I acknowledged the Primus loving women out there, I was just pointing out what rare gems they are :) I too am a fan of his basses, but I like his main Carl Thompson 4 string better than this newer one he's using and this vid and used during the Antipop era. That's not to say that this a bad one though, it's got great slap/pop tones

[nineomite]

@Glennardthebassist

Haha assuming your the glennard the bassist that I'm familiar with, let me say this: even the ladies listening to brad paisley can be converted. Start with Wynona's BBB and go from there hahaha.

[Glennardthebassist]

@nineomite HAHAHAHA! Well, Mr. Nine-o, we seem to have somehow stumbled across each other in what might as well be the internet equivalent to downtown New York. This amuses me very much. Glad to see we're at least both hanging out in the right neighborhood ;)

So, is this device derived from personal experience? Would Sheri actually understand what I'm saying if I make a Frizzle Fry reference next time I see yas? :P

[nineomite]

@Glennardthebassist

Haha it depends on the song, I think she's more of a seas of cheese gal, fizzle fry tends to weird out the ladies

[vault83]

what's up with the kids mosh pitting at a primus show. I love primus but have never seen them live. I would hope they wouldnt do that shit at a real primus concert. i would knock out a mosh pitter cold at a primus show, that shit annoys me

[thewhorock]

I suggest never going to a primus show or just sticking to the side or back cause it WILL get crazy.

They have too much energy to not go crazy when you see them live (personally).

[statehoodquarters]

@vault83 that may have possibly be the gayest thing ive ever heard anyone say. fag ill knock you out if i see u at a primus show

[mauileqwerty]

@vault83 Ridiculous, don't like moshing don't go in the pit, you don't feel like moshing, stay the fuck out of the pit, if you say people who want to can't, you deserve to be punched real hard

[fireplug111]

@vault83 Primus was one of the craziest shows I've ever seen. The whole floor of the auditorium was one giant pit. I had to get out of it and made my way to the upper tier where I must say...to look down and see the whole writhing mass was quite a sight.

[filipskorec]

lol the announcer at the start sounds like a boxing announcer

[DJFr3akshow]

Primus fan for life.... biiiittttccchhhesss "Primus Sucks"

[drumdreamer92]

They did a terrible job miming the drums, the only thing you can hear is the ride bell.

[facedspaced]

lol @ all the skanks in tube tops bein like "yayyy i'm on tv"

[Aruleki]

antipop is the best!

[Aruleki]

holyy fuck!

[cmpunk49]

man whatever happend to this show ? i know it wasn't on very long

[katjill52301]

Never have seen so much sweet ass in the front row at a Primus show.This shit had to be staged.Kind of like seeing model ass at a Rush show.

[Bumblestick]

@katjill52301 I think the only genuine thing about this video is Primus's performance.

[katjill52301]

@Bumblestick

Seems that way doesn't it?.

Matt Pinhead is a douche bag and who is this chick with him.I'm surprised they even agreed to this staged tomfoolery.

Seriously look at those girls!!!!! I have been to about fifteen Primus shows and have NEVER seen one girl in that category of hotness digging the band.When I go to a Primus show, I see psychotic misfit males from the ages of 20 to 50, either "blazing up", or stomping in mosh pits!

[DJFr3akshow]

@katjill52301 man if I met a young lady that said Primus was there favorite band I would marry her on the spot and ask Les to play the wedding.... OH YEAH "PRIMUS SUCKS"

[cdsfallis]

@katjill52301 hahahahahahahaha so true

[dkitty8124]

never seen ass at a rush show ,never would be at a rush show for ass,money,or music....rush ....(hmph..)...lol,rush.....

/

[MrBassnVocals]

@katjill52301 nobody is that good at bass (or any instrument at that matter) and doesn't get female attention bro. I mean come on do you think Les Claypools wife is fake?

[tafishthefalls]

@katjill52301 they would of been crushed by real fans,lmao.

[katjill52301]

Matt Pinhead likes Depeche Mode.

What exactly did they offer this crowd, to act like they even knew of the Mighty Primus?...Ricky Martin tickets?

[Grazmataz37]

@katjill52301 ive been to a couple of primus/claypool live gigs and u could have counted the amount of women in the crowd on your 2 hands. why dont women love these guys when they are funkier than any other band ever been

[katjill52301]

@Grazmataz37

Many woman just can't get over listening to the crap that is played on their local top 40 radio stations.They go out to clubs and this top 40 crap is played non-stop and they believe the music is corolated with them having a good time.They just aren't able to grasp the originality and the genius of bands such as Primus.

I did meet one chick in her 20's at the Vibes this year, who was by herself, and genuinly dug the band...This however is pretty rare.

[paolieta]

@Grazmataz37 yeah Primus! hej, there are indeed girls who like Primus! Don't judge us pls

[Grazmataz37]

@paolieta oh yeah dont get me wrong. theres a few of u broad minded girls out there, its just all the girls i know and meet, u play them tommy the cat and all they say is 'whats with the voice, he cant sing for $h!t' and when i tell em primus are not about the singing they think im a complete nutter

[len1039]

@katjill52301 think of it this way: all those poor souls knew good music from that day forth.

[Sackman28]

@katjill52301 i just cant get enough depeche mode! lol seriously whats wrong with them hater?

[BluesWhore]

a good band is one that can just jam out like this and then all of a sudden be like whoops guess thats another song.

[TheBlazingBassist]

I love watching les play. He is the reason I play bass

[cameronj279]

@TheBlazingBassist he's the reason thousands of people play bass.....myself included. the man is a true inspiration

[Grazmataz37]

@cameronj279 me to. i would never have grabbed a bass if it wasnt for claypool. but as before i was in or of the man, now im jealous. well not really lol

[Bafasoulja]

!!!ROCK AND ROLL!!!

[TheBlazingBassist]

is that brain or herb on drums? whoever it is, he's fuckin killing it.

[lottavernix]

@TheBlazingBassist that is the man, the myth... Brain

[Dillbob1]

@lottavernix the pseudo-mexican

[TheAmusingHeckler]

Primus has been awesome since the beginning of new rock back in the late 80's

[trinitybluesman]

fuck the teaparty---claypool for president

[colthjones]

Wait a minute. Les sings, too? That's funny; I hadn't noticed before.

[sociopathix]

@colthjones really? yeah he sings in everything he does. Holy mackreal, frog brigade, oysterhead, sausage, Col claypools bucket of bernie braines, les claypool etc.

[zreth897647]

Primus suucccccckkkkkkkkkkkkkssssssss­!!!!!!

[lottavernix]

Primus is everything i ever wanted in music and much MUCH more

[harrymanback4]

so much for anti-pop XD

[pyroseed13]

Did the announcer at the beginning call them "Premise?" lol

[bobakazou]

nice ass @ 1:57 !!

[soccerprog226]

Wayyyyyyyy better than the studio, no doubt.

[xRhysthecollectorx]

this dude sucksss ass at singing and writing songs

[sociopathix]

@xRhysthecollectorx hes got 2 platinum records and some gold records that says otherwise.

[Shiga37]

@sociopathix While I don't agree with xRhysthecollectorx, the number of records an artist sells isn't the mark of whether a person is talented at singing and writing songs. If that's the case, then we would also have to agree that Britney Spears is talented at singing and writing songs as well. Les Claypool is a great performer, but he and Primus as a whole be great regardless of how many records they sold.

[sociopathix]

@Shiga37 yes i know. and i agree with you. But instead of arguing id rather just point out the fact that they are successful regardless of others thinking les is a shitty singer or what ever and the quickest way to do that is point out their record sales.

[Shiga37]

@sociopathix Point taken.

[whaaselfesteem]

This has got to be one of their more suckiest songs. They suck!

[CrimsonBeatz19]

@whaaselfesteem Alright then you play what the bassist was playing and sing on top of that. OH and play it perfectly. If you can do that, you have the right to say they suck. But i doubt you can so stfu plzzz.

[CrimsonBeatz19]

@whaaselfesteem WAIT WAIT WAIT HOLY SHIT IM STUPID SORRY I TAKE THAT BACK!!

[drdirtdog]

going to see em in 2 weeks woot best band ever this might be my favorite of their songs at least the jam is as epic as it comes

[KreatorOfDeath1985]

Better than the Album Recording!

[xhellabentx]

where the mosh pit WTF

[luj0va]

HERE IS PRIMUS!!!!!!! fuckyeah!

[thierrybenji]

I prefer when Tim Alexander is on the drum, I'm not a Brian Mantia's fan !

Yeah he's a very good drummer but Tim Alexander is a genius !

[thecaleb1000]

@thierrybenji HE IS!! I love Tim lol

[Dillbob1]

@thierrybenji well neither them are in primus right now

[redwallabbey00]

Yes yes...no doubt about it...Primus SUCKS!!!!!! <3

[kilykorn]

claypool es una bestia!!!! no es para cualkiera primus.....el q busca tecnica, majestuosidad, locura y originalidad sabe q primus tiene todo eso.....buen guitarrista tmb eh visto muy buenos solos de el. saludos

[xXxsatanxX]

I swear they just threw a bunch of people who have probably never heard of Primus in there. Probably wrong /shrug

[Redhexa]

moi jaime ca du primus criss jai 28 ans pis jecoute ca depuis jen ai 12 !!

[TPCrackerman]

Fastest thumb in the west.

[forkicksandgiggles4]

@TPCrackerman Quite possibly the world. 

[cptXmunch]

this videos trippy to watch high, just watch the way les moves around it trips me out O.o its a cool video to see a unconventional band like primus playing at a gig like this, love me some primus

[calebzia]

back when primus was trying to please their management and make them some money by sounding like korn and limp bizshit

[YouFuckenConformists]

@calebzia bullshit

[MurdocGwynham]

primus are gooooood Slipknot are bastards i hate them

Les is very good bassplayer

RESPECT

[JewFro1408]

just look at les not even look at those sexy bitches at 2:47

whudda fuckin beast!

[MrThompson626]

Correct me if I'm going crazy but everyone writing primus sucks actually mean they like primus right? It's all part of the anti-music shizness, right? I think it makes people who actually hate primus completely unstated which is kinda genius...

[volimsir]

@MrThompson626 This has been said over, and over, and over, and over again.

"Primus sucks!" was their slogan back in the day.

[MrThompson626]

@volimsir Alright, you act like it's impossible that I'm new to them perhaps. And hey, waddayaknow, PRIMUS SUCK! (whoop)

[KoRnSlipFold]

@volimsir at first i didnt know that and one time i forgot and wrote sum real angree stuff to someone for saying primus sucks.... lol i gotta keep that in the back of my head

PRIMUS SUCKS!!

[cheseeproductions]

@MrThompson626 well, half fans say that. People who live in the past and only like primus for half of who they are. Right now people in the crowd just scream "Play bigbrown beaver!" until they hear it. I do like frizzle fry the best but thats still old. No problem liking old music cuz new music SUCKS(except for gogol bordello) but staying in the NOW, primus rocks. Les=GOD! sadly nobody understands the true primus fans.

[chjohnst]

crazy hammer ons

[TheConnord12]

this song is maaaaad cool!

[skelefetus]

"Sacred Cow"?!!

... That dude must be more excited than the crowd. @_@

[TheSquareDonut]

people would undertand Primus if they herd them live, its hard to undertand them on Cd's unless you listen to them alot, it helps if yer stoned.

[vampirehippie]

Primus is what i'm plying at me weddin

[jek21]

siiiick. I wish they hadn't stopped playing the Antipop stuff live.

[Psilocybe85]

I "meat" the sacred cow every time I have a t bone,omg your so tasty Mr cow

[undertowpma]

OMG Primus Sucks!!! Who else can come up with a fucked up funk rhythm like that? Seeing them live would make my life complete!

[SambobArschkopf]

people who don't like primus can not say they know what MUSIC is!!

[spannerfaction]

stop eating the sacred cow u crazy yankee bastards !!!!
