I love how Les has a feeling of a " I just let the sounds flow and it sounds cool" philosophy whereas more technical players (Wooten?) seem to stay up all night wondering whether they should explore a myxolidian flavour over their stylings in the key of A minor to enhance the character of their compositions and etc. I like them all but this is just so unpretentious.. Wear a cool hat and slap the jesus out of that bass, enjoy yourselves, the end.
Do you think most of primus songs are like being sung in a story-telling kind of manner because it's fucking difficult to play those funky basslines and sing at the same time?
Plus the story-telling style of singing also goes with the music, but you see what I mean..
@thpriest15 yeah "Les cant sing" in the same way people say Ozzy cant sing, just because he has a unique voice and unique singing style doesnt make his singing not as good as other people. I would much rather listen to Les Singing than any of those autotuned talentless hacks form american Idol.
I love how that guy comes up behind Les and puts his arm around him, and Les has that expression on his face like hes thinking, "Can't you see I'm playing here? Get the hell off of me and take your insignificant genitalia with you!". Best part though : "She was looking for that HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeee cat... and that was me.
@djclamourmusic Larry isn't a great guitarist. Most of his solos are random notes not in any specific key, no pentatonics, and always in 4/4. He does fit the band very well. He's good not great.
simply epic.

What I love about primus is, that Les plays both rythem and bass at the same time and it sounds fucking amazing.

@KurdtKobain09 Les really can't sing, in all of his nasal-ly might. The quirky story-telling compensates for that.

Damn. I love Primus. Bass is my favorite part of any song, and to hear it featured prominently in a band's overall sound is just awesome.
