Primus - to Defy the Laws of Tradition

[ProfessorBreadsticks]

I love reading the comments on Primus videos. I find it absolutely hilarious when people flip their shit because they saw people saying "Primus sucks."

PRIMUS SUCKS

[IxAmxThexFrizzlexFry]

PRIMUS SUCKS. :3

[pspfreedom]

I don't know why a lot of people keep saying that Primus sucks. I am not a fan or anything, but they have their style, and their songs are damn complex. Besides that, lyrics in this song are simple but damn deep and real.

[OddJobKid99]

@pspfreedom its an inside joke started by Les Claypool(bassist/singer) where he used to come out during a show and before they start he would say "Hi! We're Primus and we suck!" so fans used it as an inside joke :P

[pspfreedom]

@OddJobKid99 ooooooh, I get it, then is not so bad after all hehehehe

[ZooxYorkxRulez]

SO BEAUTIFUL :'''''D

[mpolino77]

The drumming in this song is ridiculously perfect.

[Girostix]

Amazing song !!

[mookiefat5]

I love how it starts with YYZ by Rush!

[Darknessfalls260]

THE BASS! AHHH! THE BASS IS SO FUCKING.... actually, it sucks. Primus sucks! xD

[bugebago]

The plague was popular in its times, the holocaust was popular in its time, Justin Bebier or whatever is popular in our time.

That doesn't mean Primus sucks.

OR DOES IT?

[zeppelincanaya]

una genialidad!!!

[KetchPhraz]

Primus sucks... We should all thumbs down...

[TheCagedBear]

got to see them live last night, have to say...one of the best shows ive ever been to

[NPCbmxJOE]

hey we're primus, and we suck.

[junkhead27]

Artist: Primus

Playing at Verizon Wireless Theater, Houston on 05/23/11

Buy "To Defy the Laws of Tradition" on: iTunes, AmazonMP3

....wait what???? holy shit theyre coming on the 23rd!! I'm so there!!

[icymagma98]

@junkhead27 it was an awesome concert! the pit was unbeleivable!

[junkhead27]

@icymagma98 or so ive heard.... i hate myself for not going!! >=(

[needlearmor]

primus and tool have a lot in common. especially in that they are both awesome bands

[hentajus]

@needlearmor

The only difference is that primus sucks.

[sniktawleahcim]

@needlearmor They have very little in common.

Primus is a band that is very different from any band. I cannot say that about tool.

On top of it, Les is a humble person, who sings intentionally bad in a tongue in cheek way, and promotes the chant "Primus sucks" whereas Maynard is a narcissist.

[Forbelicious]

@needlearmor All Tools songs sound the same.

[AllAmericanJake21]

if ur a bassist and cant play this song then u are defying the laws of tradition

[imabadexample1]

@AllAmericanJake21

It really is a simple song.

Compared to what else awaits Les' fingertips.

[TheIllegalKind]

@AllAmericanJake21 this song is real easy to play on bass and frizzle fry and too many puppies especially too many puppies

[AllAmericanJake21]

@TheIllegalKind true dat but thats why u have to play them u know

[p8ntbller4life]

@TheIllegalKind its not about how much skill it takes to play a song that makes it good (clearly if lil wayne can talk into an auto-tuner and make million) its how it sounds (which is why i dont understand how lady gaga, justin bieber, and the jonas brothers are so famous and rich)

[TheIllegalKind]

@p8ntbller4life ii know trust me

[scourge34]

@TheIllegalKind But can you write it? And get the same recognition? I doubt it. Metallica is easy to play, Not so much to come up with it yourself eh?

[TheIllegalKind]

@scourge34 well im in a band but not metal or something like primus and i write all the songs except lyrics

[MovingPictures223]

That fucking bassline is the grooviest thing I've ever heard in my life. I think I'm going to buy a bass guitar just to learn that riff. Playing it on a six string will never be as awesome.

[rhcpfan601245]

i have the argue to mosh for some reason

[420Hitter420]

PRIMUS SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!! ALL HAIL PRIMUS!!!

[meerkitty24]

love this fucking song! wicked good...

[Butteroux]

"This Sucks!"

[Wafflewarrior7]

A CHILD.....

[maccreng]

Primus rules... But the true fans all know that

PRIMUS SUCKS!!!

[goretrade1234]

les claypool is the best bass player ever.

[fward101]

@goretrade1234 hands down!

[therealbullTA]

love it,love it,love it.....PRIMUS SUCKS!!!WHOO HOOO!!!

[mubrook]

i can't stand people that say primus sucks. they just don't understand music then...cause this is deffinlty legendary as les claypool is a legend all on his own

[amir8500]

@mubrook It's a Primus thing from their shows. The crowd would shout "You suck!" and Les would reply "Thank you" or something along those lines. I honestly don't know if it still happens, I'm going to see Primus in a few weeks, so I guess I'll find out. 

[fward101]

@amir8500 the fans still chant it, but in filmore detroit back in october, he said nothing. b4 he played My name is Mud he said, this song is about a girl named sue and the crowd had to stop and think, then the magic happend

[EvilSoftDrink]

PRIMUS SUCKS!!! Don't thumb me down posers.

[rhcpfan601245]

@EvilSoftDrink okay

[DemonDays1993]

Awesome tune. Trying to learn this song now, think I might just about have the intro sorted. Just. but nowhere near as good as it should be, that'll take months of practice.

[stokes1234567890]

well people get primus wrong.Been listening to them for a long time and what I have made of it is its awesome music they all got hightalent,it's just they sing about weird shit but thats how they like it

[jjhambone420]

this has always been one my favorite bass riffs man

[baltikip]

crazy bass playing

[OhNoObie]

When they go into the "To defy the laws of tradition..." part, I get so pumped. Primus is the shit; one of my favorite bands of all time...

[713daehkcarc]

Whoever is thumbdowning people that say Primus sucks is a fucking tool.

[fward101]

@713daehkcarc who ever is down thumbing a fellow primus fan is a fuckin tool

[Zeta9966]

@fward101 That was offensive to wrenches.

[undergroundsk8trs]

@713daehkcarc hey idiot, if u knew primus at all, ud know that primus sucks is a compliment only a true fan would give...

[713daehkcarc]

@undergroundsk8trs Hey dipstick, reread what I put lol. Primus sucks.

[codemaster667]
