  • toronto airport : yyz

  • @namsuo morse code for yyz is the intro

  • every one know's it's called YYzed! (Cuz it's Canadian :D )

  • This must have been performed at the GREEK in California. That was truly an amazing show!! ....They played their asses off that night!!

  • greatest ending to a song... EVER

  • the guitar was there

  • Tis all good Grasshoper

  • RUSH IS BETTER!

  • RUSH IS BETTER

  • sorry but the intro sounds really crappy

  • i feel as if Les is the better player, but i dont think he will ever play yyz as good as Geddy...

  • . les claypool is a beast,primus fucking sucks

  • i have a question, why the fish?

  • @Pipespike9327 Cause he is playing the Bass hehehehehe

  • @Pipespike9327 Its a Bass

  • bass lines bass lines and more basslines!

  • Les Claypool Sucks, also Geddy Lee rules. It's hard to compare the two.

  • @andersoncolin94 you shouldnt even be making a statement on here if you think les claypool sucks dude.

  • @nate21970 u mad? Primus sucks!

  • @andersoncolin94 No, both are great

  • @andersoncolin94 Man, I would hate to be a person who just flat out claims a player sucks because of who they like. If you think Les sucks you need to grow, open up your ears and stop discrediting people who have revolutionized the art of bass. Geddy and Les are both chilling at the very top, there is no arguing that if you aren't acting like a stubborn kid that won't let anyone argue against their chosen idol.

  • @captainshiner3 Saying 'primus sucks' is a form of endearment. It's a joke between hardcore primus fans and the band itself. At one point, Les Claypool was told that 'primus is awesome'. To which he replied 'Nah, we suck'. And it caught on. It's an old joke, and I believe it can be related with this certain individual proclaiming that 'Les sucks'. I'm pretty sure it relates to the joke, considering he proceeded to say 'Primus sucks'.

  • @Blacksight1 Thank you for not being a nooby Primus fan!

  • @captainshiner3 You think you're a Primus fan? If you really were then you'd know what I'm talking about.

  • @andersoncolin94 I know I'm a Primus fan considering I've gotten to meet the man himself. It's probably because I've been a huge fan since 98 and stopped going on with the PRIMUS SUCKS thing years ago. Les ruined it anyway, by stopping a bunch of shows and claiming that Primus "no longer sucks". I don't agree with his grouchiness nor do I want the Primus Sucks things to be done away with. BUT you should expect responses like this if you are going to use inflammatory statements.

  • @captainshiner3 Which would explain why you thought I was being serious, because you actually physically wiped the memory of the phrase "Primus Sucks" from your memory. That makes sense now.

  • Nice Fish!

  • they probably did the best cover of this song

  • dam do you hear that fail on the bass? i don't blame him though, yyz is a big pain in the ass to play.

  • @dallen3000 He mightve messed up,but Rush has been playing YYZ for a long time now, and make music in their own way.Its hard to do a cover of a song like that,but claypool is no fail bass player.Rush probably would have some trouble doing a cover of a Primus song,since they have a completly different sound.

  • @JTheDawg wow your reading far to much into this, all im saying is that he messed up when playing the song. nothing more, nothing less.never did i call the bass player a failure. but at the same time i also understand how and why this happened because that song has one of the most complex bass parts i've ever heard.

  • @dallen3000 I wasn't really reading to far,just kinda explaining that both bands would have some trouble playing eachother's music.

  • YYZ = Toronto airport, in case anyone is wondering

  • Comment removed

  • @ibasicallytotalyrule ... and what Neil Peart does with his ride cymbal at the beginning is the YYZ morse code !

  • douchewaffles

    v

  • shitty..wtf..???

  • Good try but not good enough !!!!!

  • Nice bass picture and song.

  • @007Crusoe Rush = Canadian = Zed pal

  • Flea

  • @FrizAtHome well. you have a point there.

  • Nice cover

  • rush is better than this.but i am surprized that they can play it.

  • "sorry we're out of time"

  • LOVE THE FISH

  • where the fuck are the synths???

  • its not yy zee, it's yy ZED, bitches

  • @DjDoxastic

    Americans say zee. Get over it and stop being a twat.

  • @21stCSchizoidName but rush is Canadian, and we say zed, fuck off sir.

  • @DjDoxastic

    The person speaking in this video is American, though. I can't believe you're getting your panties in a bunch over a fucking letter. Maybe if it was an actual mistake, it'd be worth it, but come on.

  • this sucks

  • LES is God

  • at 1:56 they ran out of time :P

  • the bass isnt clean enough for my liking. sounds sloppy

  • /watch?v=IpBZDnhvsP0

    Here's for anyone who is like "Les, Ler and Herb can't hang with Geddy, Alex and Neil, which is why they cut the song off before the solos".

  • Sorry Les, but the song is called YY ZED

    Canadians rule.

  • @FrizAtHome you making fun of us eh? Canadians say both Z and Zed. I never heard them say the song as YYZ, please show me....lol

  • @SRNF Um...I am canadian. Eh? Im pretty sure my comment was followed my "Canadians rule." which means you're either blind or down-syndrome. And we do say Zed, actually.

  • @FrizAtHome

    1. When you wrote it , it was not a reply to anyone.

    2. I aint some troll that views all comments and checks what everyone said.

    3. Whats with all the negative backlash?

    4. Perhaps you have down-syndrome, I clearly stated we say BOTH, actually. 0.0

  • @SRNF It was never a reply you dumb shit, Les is the frontman for the band Primus, if you didnt know already. Les opened by saying "This is a song called YY ZEE." My comment is a reply to what les said which states that the canadian way of pronouncing the letter Z is Zed. That is the official Canadian way of saying it therefore you are wrong. The band that wrote this song, called Rush, is a popular Canadian band. Can you put two and two together now asshole?

  • @FrizAtHome You cry a lot. No shit it was from Rush. The nature of the letter Z is pronounced in both ways and both are correct.

    What a rage baby, come cry more.

  • @SRNF No the nature of the letter Z in the context of the fucking video you are watching is pronounced one way and that is Zed. Dumb cunt

  • @FrizAtHome It is said both ways. Cry more please. 

  • @SRNF It is said Zed. Suck my balls.

  • @FrizAtHome let it all out kid, keep the crying going.

  • @SRNF I wanna stick my penis in your mothers cunt and cut her head off.

  • @FrizAtHome yup yup, cry more

  • @SRNF Im gonna cry from laughter on your grave when you get hit by a Hot Wheels

  • @FrizAtHome yup yup keep crying ginger.

  • @FrizAtHome I Agree!! CANADA ALL THE WAY! :D Born and Raised in BC 

  • @FrizAtHome Actually it's called "Y Y nobody give a shit what you say." I love it when Canadians always have to point out your inferiority complex. No one cares. If Canada truly is better than the USA, then you shouldn't need to have to try to hard to prove it. Just be who you are and let your actions speak louder than your pathetic words.

    Yes I get it, Rush is Canadian and in the Great White North that's how they say it. Primus isn't Canadian though, so you can just chill the fuck out.

  • @jedispy I love your reply. Love it so much. No sarcasm. Thank you for shoving it up his ass.

  • "I've been told we have 3 minutes"

    .... and so it begins....

  • your not neil or rush give it up

  • @RottiGurl Who are you referring to?

  • exelent, but why a bass fish? lawlz

  • @killemo213 Les (the bassist) is really into fishing! :D

  • @killemo213 Les loves fishing. They have a whole series of songs called the Fisherman Chronicles. I'm sure that probably has something to do with it.

  • @ltmajorcrunch well yes that and also, that fish is a bass

    lol

  • @BassfaceJam True, yeah.

  • Larry u fucking rock....you bastard

  • Oh yeah! that 'full version' link leads to some serious cover action! :> Too cool.

  • It's called why why zed.

  • @MrPing1000 Oh that argument again. No need to take offense toward an alternate pronunciation.

  • @713madmags Larry Lalonde is an unknown legend

  • They had to stop before the solo because Claypool isn't as good as Lee. And PRIMUS SUCKS!

  • @vangoens12 You kidding? Claypool could have played that solo

  • Primus did this because Claypool was jealous of Geddy Lee.

  • you can't impersonate geddy lee. letting them play through the bass solo would have ripped open a hole in time and space and sucked claypool into it and have him spat out in canada to be kicked in the face by geddy lee.

  • Why does everyone keep saying primus sucks?

  • @sihplak because we all love primus, PRIMUS SUCKS

  • @sihplak it's a way of showing the love. Primus Sucks!

  • @sihplak Old thing. Primus used to say "Primus sucks" or something, like a joke, wich caught on between fans meaning "primus is awesome, at least I was told ;). That said, they are fucking awesome

  • "Sorry, we're out of time" right before the best bass runs in the song.

  • @crisscollins That you love the Spice Girls.

  • why the picture of a fish?

  • @akerswizard779 DUDE really???? Because Primus (les) are big on fishing for the mighty sturgeon! Do your homework man! Primus SuX;)

  • @cnote05 well then. i have seen the light. but this ain't a sturgeon, its a bass. houseoffrankpoland epically fails.

  • @akerswizard779 haha, love it. But yeah, good question.

  • DAMN IT!!! He stopped right before the goddam bass solo!

  • I loves teh Rush. That's pretty cool. Primus Sucks.

  • @twinxs1000 Les Claypool got the fans saying it. It's basically Primus fans saying it to other Primus fans as a secret handshake, and tongue-in-cheek joke about the band they love. They even made a Primus Sucks shirt in the 90s. I lost it, and I want it back.

  • It's something Primus made up. Primus sucks is actually a good thing, it's like saying primus rules, but in Les Claypool language

  • thats for posting this! sick

  • Les was not joking at all. They really did run out of time.

  • PRIMUS SUCKS! A bass legend doing a MUSICAL GENIUS!

  • ha ha ha ha!! love the ending!

  • Comment removed

  • hah, i wonder how much of this was rehearsed

  • its impossible to claim that geddy is better than claypool, and it is also impossible to claim claypool is better than geddy. they both have unique stylings, claypool does his thing and so does geddy

  • @jamfd18504277 its bad ass when geddy does it and its bad ass when claypool does it considering it sounds completely different. you like it or you dont but compare it you cannot

  • @jamfd18504277 Les played keyboard?

  • @jamfd18504277

    Except Claypool steals all of Geddy's songs.

  • @jamfd18504277 What do you mean? They are both bassist/singers for prog/funky type bands... thats perfect for comparrison!!

  • Larry is on it...Larry could sub for Alex if he wanted to.lol...Les's slap kinda sounds off but it isnt...it just Les.

  • hes struggling with it

  • solid cover...not a huge Primus fan, but they did a nice job with this one

  • What a shitty thing to do to someone.

  • PRIMUS SUCKS!!!

  • Lol at all the noobs who don't know what "Primus Sucks" means.

  • Kermit the frog on lead vocals

  • nice

  • Goddamn. Les Claypool is BETTER than Geddy Lee.

  • @UberNoob33 Thank you! I agree too! :)

  • @UberNoob33 have you ever even REALLY listened to rush??? although i might agree with the fact that les is slightly better then geddy, if claypool bites anybodys style its geddy (although les is quite unique, when i started to listen to rush i instantly heard the influence geddy had on les)

  • @rwk1983 What I meant was that Claypool's performance of YYZ was just as good, maybe better, than Geddy's performance on Moving Pictures. Geddy plays it way better live.

  • @UberNoob33 you have just made an enemy for that ridiculous claim.

  • @ostritchman101 If you honestly believe that Geddy is a better bassist than Les (not saying that Geddy isn't a great bassist) then you're the one making a ridiculous claim.

  • @UberNoob33 Les is an amazing bassist, but in my opinion Geddy is better. it might just be because i was a Rush fan before i was a Primus fan.

  • @ostritchman101 I think that Les is technically "Better" than Geddy, but i must say, i like Geddy's style and playing a lot better

  • Primus Sucks

  • why the fuck would they stop at the bass solo

  • @12345JJBB i think he's just teasing the crowd.

  • every ones just mad cause primus got a record deal and you didnt so you can just go suck 1

  • primus shouldnt be in the music business~

  • @crisscollins Primus blows

  • primus does suck

  • Primus suxs fish dicks

  • @houseoffrankpoland What show was this from?

  • Primus is Good

  • @ghostfacedude93 primus sucks man

  • @ryanandbranslurppiss No! There Good! lol

  • Sorry, but this has to be the worst finish ever to a concert. Les said the band had 3 minutes left, so they trying playing a 4 and a half minute song, and then barely get half way through and have to stop.

  • @Rawk4Life Les was obviously joking... That's why he ended it right before the bass fill. How do you not get that?

  • not well played lol

  • Primus is only good on South Park´s theme ;)

  • Les owned that track

  • It's like my 2 fav bassists had a baby lol.

  • This is pretty epic.

  • Actually, Les, it's YY-ZED...not ZEE

    Yes...we're a weird bunch, us Canadians

  • they couldn't finish. They are bad covers but the songs are extraordinary

  • something is wrong here....one of the three members is off time and making the entire unit sound sloppy..... i noticed that here and on their cover of la villa strangiato.

  • @TheAfterhand it was clay.. coming in a bit too early around 0:52 making that part sound a bit sloppy and out of sync, i heard it too.. but he gets back on track a few seconds later. Why? because he's a beast :]

  • Love the way he stopped just before Geddys Bass Fills. Geddy = God

  • Geddy is the master.

  • kermit claypool xD

  • @woot420 This wasnt Rush doing YYZ this was primus... just like it says in the title? and that wasnt Geddy Lee it was Les Claypool possibly the best bassist in the world

  • OMG I LOLed, "Sorry we're out of time" what a tease!! That's like stopping in the middle of the last part of "Stairway to Heaven" right before the vocals :-P

  • It sounds heavier than the regular YYZ, Claypool's bass sound more acoustic to me than Geddy's Jazz, I like the variant. C:

  • yeah, totally man - but think of it as the second guy to do the voice for kermit - you dig? Hey, my cat's nearly and man cat, what do you make of that?

  • It's zed, you fool. Primus sucks.

  • @Bradlez92 WOOHOO! PRIMUS SUCKS! FUCK YEAH!

  • what album is this?

  • @cpljones69 The original YYZ is on Rush's album Moving Pictures. This was a live cover.

  • haha i laughed at the end there where they just cut and hes like "sorry were outa time"

    that musta sucked for them, they was playing well there

  • Im a little disappointed in Les here, pretty messy. I guess he was having a bad day

  • @SynonymousWithMusic i disagree. as far as this song goes, the bass locked in pretty well overall. If you listen to the original bass track by itself it sounds like this, which i think is due to the fact that they both have very harsh tones which makes those tremolos sound a bit off. In retrospect though, you have to admit its a good cover for what sounds like a last minute decision, i doubt they practiced that one much before the played it here

  • DUDE! I remember this show! the first year of the reunion tour at the Greek Theatre in Berkeley. this show blew my fuckin' MIND!

  • wow... this is a really good cover!
