@nileisthebestband Dude you don't have a clue, "Primus Sucks" was their slogan for years. It is a sign of a true fan who writes "Primus Sucks". Before you slam on someone else, in this case ntate123 for writing "primus sucks" know what in the hell you are talking about. I realize someone already responded, but I had to also.
@barrysbailbonds of course thats why they made thier slogan "primus sucks". so if someone who recently got into thier music and watches thier videos on youtube, and trys to stick up for them when they see comments saying what i believe to be an insult. and then they get shot down from the 110% true fans.
moral of the story? a fan is a fan, dont be so arrogant, i like primus, so do you.
@dink65 noooooob :L "primus sucks" is a phrase that primus uses, it's kind of their catchphrasey thing :P it actually means they rock... and Les Claypool is god so i think we're on the same wavelength here.
@TheKlunk21 - I'm not a noob. First time I saw Claypool was when Primus opened for Rush in late 1991. I immediately knew they were something special. I also remember the shirts and I never cared for them. I'm glad they don't really use them or the phrase anymore. Glad you dig them.
@TheKlunk21 - Geez, I didn't even spell Geddy Lee correctly in my first post. LOL! By the way, those guys are still touring too. Just saw them a few weeks ago. It's cool how those 3 aging Canadians can still amaze and inspire me....
two rabbis were sitting in a cafe.....and les claypool walked in and beat them to death with his bass guitar and proceeded to play "over the falls" with nothing on but a santa clause hat over his weanier.......i love shrooms
@zoleimackenzie Never mind that last comment I now know that Les Claypool Used that as a joke, so I really means Primus rules. I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings in anyway, just a misunderstanding I just recently learned about it.
@zoleimackenzie Why don't you keep your opinions to yourself? No one came on Youtube to hear a little bitch complain about how they hate a band. How would you like it if someone told you any of the bullshit gay bands you listen to sucked? So keep your goddamn opinions to yourself.
this live version of jerry is one of the best i've seen i'm glad les is using his rainbow for this song cuz it just doesn't sound right on anything else there was this one where he palyed on a fretted 6 string and it just didn't have that same vibe you know
yes agreed, now brain is tight but your all looking at in this video the best drummer primus had. brian learned a lot of is tricks from tim. but brian is dam good.
@fuckenmovies9494 I'm not so sure it's a compliment to them anymore. It's something they (Primus) started a while ago. They got sick of it, I'm pretty sure
@fuckenmovies9494 Four score and seven years ago, somebody shouted "Primus rocks!" at Les. Les replied with, "No we don't. We suck." After that Les would open concerts with saying, "We're Primus and we suck."
I saw Primus in Milwaukee on November 18, 2006. They performed the "Sailing the Sea of Cheese" album. What an awesome show. I have a bootleg of the show if anyone's interested.
I saw Primus in Milwaukee on November 18, 2006. They performed the "Sailing the Sea of Cheese" album. What an awesome show. I have a bootleg of the show if anyone's interested.
im guessing some sort of really light distortion (and i mean REALLY light) to make all the notes louder and more distinct, other than that, doesnt really sound like anything
@cmpunk49 im useing my gf account like but when i have been on stage with other bands and met motor head and ither bands it varies like you gotta think you got multi effects on 1 pedal including you normal hookups to normal stadard issue effects and most of them wont get used so its hard to define how ever they only realy use COUPLE ON A MULTI EFFECTS AND PLUS YOUR AMPS REALY GOTTA TAKE PRESSURE CAUSE EVERY PEDAL COMES WITH ITS OWN VOLUME BUTTON
ive heard that the slides sound a lot better. and ive also heard that its not actually harder, its just different, and it has a better feel once you get used to it. but if you have one without any fret markers on it.... have fun memorizing where every note is!
umm...if i wad ever lucky enough to see Primus now, I'd mosh the fuck out of their concert. uncontrollably. and when i see that circle pit, it just fits so well with Ler's guitar line, its like--"crowd getting rowdy before the heavy breakdown'...fuck i want to see Primus live.
its moshing in my eyes. Especially in that thrashing breakdown at 3:40!!!! Thats the part where i just want to kill the living fuck otta someone!!! lol
Someone needs to take the Sandman mic away from Les. god damnit that shit ruins every classic song they do. Yes, it makes them even more unique but live it sounds horrible. anyone agree?
oh the sandman..had no idea what you were talking about..i'm just saying if you want a really good version of jerry (imho, the way it should sound live)...search "Jerry was a racecar driver Fuji Rock". o_-
