[smrtsk8er]

@OddMusicality no shit sherlock

[smrtsk8er]

@OddMusicality you have once again proven that you are not very intelligent. Congratulations sir your a dumbass.

[smrtsk8er]

@OddMusicality Well you sure make a lot of assumptions about someone you've never met before. You also don't have a very good sense of humor, and you are pretty insecure and sensitive.

[AndyNarcotic]

Claypool and Buzzo!?! thats a colaboration thought only in the minds of the completely stoned :O

[tulipolar]

Claypool started Nu Metal via their influence, Fieldy and Borland idolized him.

[GavynFuckingClark]

lol tims stoned =P

[Curtis6127]

ok lol i've only listened to their songs so i'm glad that les doesnt talk like how he sings

[neilpeartrocks2112]

KMFDM SUCKS!!!!

[JimmyDiggs87]

tim alexander is a badass mofo on the drums.  .

[fevershorty]

"haha what is it called?"

[Drumfetus]

Kill your self.

[Pizza300]

@Imthedude01 People Should Not Try To Act Like People When They're Frizzle Fried.

[battleatbosworth]

haha Tim is by far the coolest person in this band.

[artistonabike]

1:33 King Buzzo?

[snidley1979]

Good eye wonder why tho.

[erikhoughiscool]

@artistonabike

king buzzo.

[t3hgir]

Tim's high

[itsgaythatyourgay]

lol Herb doesn't even know anything about the DVD

[Mosin54r]

Epic time for Primus

Larry Lalonde looks great with long hair.

Why isnt Tim up to date?

Tour De Fromage changed my life.

[jazzytmarie]

I am rediscovering the band now at 41 and I have to agree, I am really blown away. I did not really understand them in back in the 90s. I was tripping so hard that I missed watching them live at Lollapalooza . What an idiot. I missed so much being high. I'm alright now.  So I'm addicted to Primus sober. That is a trip.

[wesjoe311]

Welcome back, dude!

[itsgaythatyourgay]

Atta boy

[robs70986987]

Me and my friends memorized everything from that dvd when it came out

[RandomoviesAreFun23]

primus sucks!!!!

[OSONSS]

PRIMUS SUCKS

[xXTH3GH05TXx]

me too. hate the band. but jeez can claypool jam

[wackyruss]

Hate really is a strong word.

[4TTh3G4T3S]

I don't like Primus..... but Les claypool rocks

[luispa76]

primus is going to be understood in years to come, its so pioneer that most of the people dont realize what their are listenin to.

primus is great,,,,,you people listened too many blink182 and your ears got cancer.

[DrumPlayer100]

@luispa76 NO primus isnt great they fuckin suck!!

[cutslicepunchjag]

@luispa76 lol agreed man

[ineednewcymbals]

@luispa76 hey

hey

hey

buddy, i like primus and blink 182

i say dont knock on someone elses music and just enjoy what you like, if you dont like it, good for you, some people might

but yeah primus is fucking awesome

[3footphar]

@luispa76 I love primus. I've been listening to them since about 6 (im 14 now). But i love blink too (there OLD music.. they had music that was actually punk.. not just all the small things). so don't make fun of other bands man,

[pkeetin]

primus pwns :) sorry for tim

plz dont post comments if they have no intellect in them :)

[PanterA420pot420]

primus sucks

[WoundedEntertainment]

@PanterA420pot420

no people who think that primus sucks suck

[BucksStudent]

Poor Tim...

[Xxxfire45xxX]

I lol at the idiocy in these comments.

[ikhaathippies]

that's the first time i see larondes face! xD

[beano1eye]

Yup Primus sure do suck, Now everyone say "Larry your a Bastard".

[drfunkenstein124]

yeah, you can tell that about people who don't know primus. but it is damn annoying when every poor sap and their brother who knows about "primus sucks" plagues every primus or les claypool video with primus sucks comments.

[Todd8Todd8Todd]

primus sucks

[Ichorid55]

You can really tell when people who don't know Primus show up... comments about Primus sucking start getting thumbs down. Hey, assholes, Primus Sucks was their motto since like 1989.

[tasha122277]

even more tired than that is the gen x douche bag who has to condescend to everyone who doesn't know what primus sucks means. there's some dude just like you posting your stupid ass comment on every primus video on youtube; and you can never be nice about explaining it you always have to be a shitass. Now I am ging to be that shitass who calls out the shitasses who calls out those who don't have the provilege of being born when mullets were cool.

[Rushworshiper92]

Primus sucks ;)

[rustydagger456]

are you kidding? primus are awesome!

[Rushworshiper92]

when someone says Primus sucks it actualy means they'er awsome, ya i Know its wierd but its a primus fans chant thing, thats why so many people say primus sucks on their videos because the realy like'em.

[rustydagger456]

oh yes, i know it is primus's motto, but i was reading through comments on this and other primus videos where people are getting angry about others not realising that "primus sucks" doesnt actually mean primus sucks.

i just thought itd be fun to see what kind of responses i got ;D

you are in my good books for not being a total douchebag about it!

[FleetAdmiralHog]

You're a god damn liar.

[rustydagger456]

you think i care what you think?

[FleetAdmiralHog]

If you didn't you wouldn't have responded.

Also, if you'd been telling the truth in the first place you could have easily just ignored me as well.

You god damned cock sucking son of a nigger fucked dog whore.

[rustydagger456]

wow

[FleetAdmiralHog]

I see you're NEAR speechless.

If only you could take that final jump: and kill yourself.

[rustydagger456]

i see you do this sort of thing alot, huh

try and start youtube comment arguments, i mean

[FleetAdmiralHog]

No, I just hate retards and liars. You happen to be both.

[rustydagger456]

hahaha

[FleetAdmiralHog]

I see you're at least happy with your mental deficiencies.

As long as you can enjoy it, I guess.

[jimlovesearth2]

hi, i'm jimmy. i'm 8 years old and i like beans, baloons, cars, trucks, fishiiing with my dad, i also like hopskotch, magic tricks, and drawing and i really like primus. but why do swear so much?

[spicyMcHAGGIS9green]

Troll.

[FleetAdmiralHog]

I do my best.

[MourningsEnd]

Problem, Youtube?

[FleetAdmiralHog]

NIggers, mostly.

[MourningsEnd]

Cool story bro.

[FleetAdmiralHog]

Yeah, I like to think so.

[georgenoory]

primus truly sucks

rock on

[bass0322]

I don't understand what people think they accomplish by criticizing music.

[bezgin]

primus sucks

Dick

[CountVanAccount]

Cock would be more appropriate.

[gusta20]

primus sucks more tha any other band i have heard

[thematty86]

primus sucks

[Sonnythemobster]

primus totally sucks

[Killercat65]

is all the music videos in animals should not try to act like peaple all there music videos in genarul? (sorry for my spelling)

[tylerjamesstephens]

Yeah, it's pretty much all of their music videos as well as some live performances and some other really cool stuff. Worth buying.

[Killercat65]

whyd they make so little?

[SR1000EFM]

i discovered primus by "animals shouldn't" and i don't think you can totally discover their "style" if you don't watch their videos.visual is so important for primus,and anyway if you've got to own one thing about those bastards,no doubt it must be "animals should'nt try to act like people"

[blaze21brett]

I like Larry and Herb....... And Les....... PRIMUS SUCKS

[buddyboombotz2]

It's difficult to play larry's stuff because you think oh he's doing some pentatonics and then just starts something else. He knows what he's doing and is really quite good

[sirmycho]

i read in an interview that he finds our what key Les is playing in... and avoids all of those notes. for reals.

[greenblackswerl]

that's awesome!

[Kirleyhair]

LaLonde is God

[matthew2999]

herb is the man "i never even seen that shit"

[laydeezman217]

not the same without brain!

[brunnerdudes]

go eat balls

[twisted21bassist]

Larry is actually an amazing guitarist,

[heretherenothing]

I think he was refereing to the whole primus sucks thing like on frizzle fry he calls larry a bastard

[CountVanAccount]

Guitar newbies often think it's to dissonant but try to make a primus-like guitar line yourself and you will se it's not that easy.

[nrwhite6325]

Tim is the best

[murmaider668]

PRIMUS SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

5 stars easy.

[heracrosskid]

GO HERBIE, FUCK YEAH!

[joako19812112]

great band listen then since I was 8 now I am 17

[ipherca]

larry is a god.

[underscoreisnotvalid]

HERB IS SO AWESOME!

[winterster]

agreed. hes so underated

[BountyHunter233]

he is underated but there are so many bassists underated because nobody wants to play bass or double bass they all want to play guitar

[piledriver89]

yo that's king buzzo at 1.30 sweet

[DangerRifai]

Southbound Pachyderm is such an awesome song.

[cookie5455]

i used to HATE it,then you know,when you dont pay attention to a song in the background,like,while u fuck around?then suddenly go"wow,thats fucking great!"lol

that doesnt make much sense reading it back haha,oh well

[parade420]

uhhhhhhhhhh

[DangerRifai]

Nah man, I know exactly what you mean! I think Southbound Pachyderm really sucks you in if you're set on listening carefully.

[hiverhythm]

Hahahaha Herb... That guy has to be the most humble of the Primus members...

[TheWhoAndTheHare]

I know drummers like that

[fevershorty]

drummers are the greatest :D

[Toshfunk]

herb is the greatest

[FuzzyCabesas]

HAHA! Haven't seen this DVD, it looks cool though. Claypool with Buzz @ 1:33 being rockstars.

[Cheerfulbassist]

I have this DVD, lots of extra stuff, look into it if you like Primus, it is a good investment of like $10

[CalculatingInfinity6]

Tim is soooo stoned....

[camilobew]

xD !!!

[Arthounot]

haha what is it called?

[DeathThrasher89]

Larry is boring now...he fuckin killed in Possessed

[frehleymayhem5]

baha herb is oblivious

[blargento]

Well they're boht equal in skill, but I always liked Herb's drumming more. From a stylistic standpoint at least. But on stage Mantia definitley is better, I couldn't fucking get over the drumming when they preformed Tweekers with Buckethead. And that's pretty incredible for someone who is sharing a stage with Les and Buckethead.

[ibanezbloke]

buckethead is shite, larrys way better

[hiverhythm]

Buckethead is monotonous. Larry is more creative. Both good guitarists....

[guitarplayeraustin]

meh they are good in their own way. buckethead is really creative too.

[shredonbass]

well both of them throw scales into the bin and play atonal.... so both are great

[schecter420]

he doesnt even know the name of an album/DVD of a band he was in? from what ive heard from previous comments, Herb seems like a real asshole. granted hes a good drummer, but so is Brain. no band needs those negative vibes, if what ive been hearin is true, Herb shouldnt ever come back

[EdithProfeil]

Nothing against Herb but I liked Brain better. He was so energetic and expressive. Herb always looked a bit bored while playing. One of the best bands ever in my book because they truely suck.

[firebatt227]

haha Herb is a dumbass.

[greenradio1]

Too many Puppies!!!!!!!

[dunnotshake]

Herb has a huge head, and nothing to say. I interviewed him in the 90s, when Primus was touring Europe, and it was a waste of time. For the rest, Primus is great.

[eskimoposh]

Funny that you mention that(besides him being an absolute moron on this clip)but a pal of mine met him after Woodstock '94 and just wanted to praise him for "Wounded Knee" on the Pork Soda album, and he first of all looked like he had smoked all the pot at the festival, but he also just mumbled something about "it better be your favourite, I wrote it". So my friend made a mental note to hate Tim Alexander for the rest of his life.

I'm still SO fucking jealous that you interviewed them.

[ChristBurner]

he could have been really sarcastic and just too high to no what was goin on ahhaha....nevermind hes probably an ass..either way he freakin rules the drums

[eskimoposh]

He's the reason I play. No matter what kind of dude he is - as a drummer, he's a true innovator.

[BabyWetsAllNight]

Herb has a HUGE head

[saltyduke]

yeah it probably has its own weather system and everything

[funkyfoolfromVanNuys]

yeah, if you get to close you might get stuck in orbit. BEWARE. it's cool though, he's an awesome drummer.

[lsoprimus]

The Tour De Fromage was such an epic tour for Primus .

[googlepants26]

drummer sounds stoned!

[Underjoggle]

I love Les's shitty 60s suit pants.

Primus rules.

[SmellyFishHead]

primus sucks!!!

they're awesome

[TheOxRo]

i think now i know why they call him "herb"

[Dmanlamius76]

Lol, he's always been like that. He's just VERY laid back :D

[joshbergg]

holy shit i hope hes on drugs

[saborranchero]

but... I don't know why but it seems to me that les had something wrong with the music bussiness during the brown album era just look at his face during performances or videos ... like he lost his spark or whatever fucking business men should burn in hell for making it a though business or whatever

[Benafry]

herb should get his hair back like in tales of the punchbowl era

[charlezurich]

I'm sure he would if he could

[HOWthePOW]

Herb and Brain were great... the thing I love about Primus is that every musician is the best at their game...

[nissanit]

that is so true

[750valve]

herb you make me laugh...

[ZoeMarks]

Gotta love Herb. His drumming on the live DVD Hallucino-Genetics is magic.

[bfish420]

Hahahahah. Fucking Herb. So high he doesn't even remember the name of the album. I love that dude.

[seargantbeef]

hehehe herb the ginseng drummer

[vcupiano]

what a strange sound

[mapleipodZ]

tims a good drummer thats for sure

[LGLCG]

Tim is funny

[SENIORTACO101]

larry's lookin old, man. still kicks ass though.

[bfish420]

yeah dude i was at that show, it was the first concert ive ever been to. its was an amazing experience to say the least. they dragged out that ecstacy sequence in rapscallion a tad too damn long, and les did this thing where he turned his back on the audience and stared up at the projector balloons. nonetheless, primus sucks and gaw'bless them, its too bad that theyre pretty much never, ever going to tour again from the looks of it.

[NitefallFirefly]

my older brother went to that radio city music hall concert.

[funkmasta666]

I don't think Herb has spent a day of his life not baked

[Dawkain]

you know i agree with ya there

[BogFrog]

amen

[pulsating123]

he doesnt like to be called herb, so I heard...fuck neither would I, ick

[bananabaconcake]

I think "Herb" is short for "Herbert". Though he is Tim. Not Herbert.

[rumrokh]

Les nicknamed him Herb because he's a health nut and takes herbal supplements and shit like that.
