Rig Rundown - Primus' Larry "Ler" LaLonde

[WarmothGuitarist]

@onetwomeansnothing As long as it's a PRS, because that's what he's most known for playing.

Don't know why he moved from using PRS to using Fenders.

[junkman134]

how bout a wes borland run-down

[BrendanOC]

One of the most underrated guitarists IMHO

[zeiss427]

no no no we want rebecca

Be nice to see a bb king rig rundown. Or Eric Clapton....maybe even Robert cray.

[ovomusic]

@ryancoleman3 a bb king rig would take about 5 seconds to rundown.

[skrewflanders]

love these rig rundowns

[5roy]

Larry is awesome!!! He is responsible for "Death Metal"!! Possessed!!!!

[bennyvx08]

He sure goes through his rig quite thoroughly. Explaining every detail and showing all the stuff he got. Wich is a good thing, it never gets boring. And Its nice to finally know, how that effect is created, at the beginning of "Blue collar tweekers". Thanks PG.

[Stringprodigy]

Hard to believe this guy was Joe Satriani's student at one time.

[Gonboo]

@Stringprodigy It's also hard to believe that this guy use to play death metal for a living.

[MrUltraworld]

He's a pretty nice guy, no rock star trip. But he has to cover a tremendous amount of tonal ground. He mentions the need for a switching system. I don't know how he manages all that now.

[ManBearPigInc]

For a guy who never smiles or talks on stage, he's pretty awesome and funny.

[miryclayu2]

I can't believe he said "IT COULD GET LOUD"

[Songwriter4God]

Nice. I like it how he mostly uses stock guitars not custom.

[bowelrock]

They need to do the same thing With Les. I wanna know what he is using now a days .

[musiqqqqqq]

Val Air is such an amazing place to see bands. Des Moines, I give it up to you because I traveled 12 hours to see Primus there and you people are some of the nicest I have ever met.

[709AJ]

Sorry but the most useless demo ever.

[ibanezbloke]

@709AJ Curious why you think that. He explains all of his gear, and we actually hear most of it too which is more than nearly all of these videos do.

[thegreatbonzo94]

I don't want to be a sour puss or anything, but Val Air is in West Des Moines. About 25 minutes from Altoona. lol

[porgy08]

Love how Shawn did his homework pretty well and seems like a fan as well. Not unlike that shaggy fellow.

[0Heavy0Metal0]

I much prefer Shawn's style of interview. I relly dont go for all the "spacey" tones you can get from dialing a pedal all the way in one direction. Just use a synth. But , that said I like this rig. simple and bullet proof.

[thekillerbassline]

Larry The Humble

[MrMurens]

A lot of gear but the guitar is out of tune...

[PanspermiaProject]

Ler is the best at what he does! Goes so perfectly with Les too!

[juniortanamati]

He talks like Leonard from The Big Bang Theory

[WarmothGuitarist]

@juniortanamati Slick his hair back, and throw some "birth control glasses" on him, and he'd look like an older Leonard.

[Wierdoinc]

Ler is the man

[EGGJAZZ]

"i think you said"

[bojanks15]

larry you're a bastard

[thekaobe]

Ler's equipments are totally amazing!

[devinj]

Where's the rest of the video?

[Aleromero77]

You guys need a better cameraman!!!!

[metalwillhatecrew]

Here's a correction for viewers: The stock speakers in the EVH cabs are actually 20 watt speakers - the Celestion G12EVH. Celestion doesn't manufacture them for any other cabs other than the EVH cabs, however they do sell the speakers so you can purchase them and put them in a cab if you wanted.

[ettumama]

Ler plays like Jer. How cool is that?

[brennan61]

I like the random Mormon guy in the background.

[Ibanezkid84]

Been looking for something like this with Ler for years, thanks!!!!!

[thestalkingbutlers]

When all else fails go for the steak knife.

[Hallman88]

This was in Des Moines not Altoona.

[ctuckc]

Turn Ler down?? I can finally hear the bastard, I hope they keep him audible. Turn Ler up!!

Great interview!

[WalrusDoom]

I'm curious as to why Ler switched to playing only Fenders, when he used to play Strats and his main guitars were Paul Reed Smiths.

[EpiclyConnor]

@WalrusDoom endorsements my friend.

[WalrusDoom]

@EpiclyConnor Wasn't he endorsed by PRS though?

[EpiclyConnor]

@WalrusDoom Endorsement contract could have ended, and Fender may have given a better offer. I'm just speculating here.

[WalrusDoom]

@EpiclyConnor I remember Ler sounding fairly generic when I saw Primus on the "Antipop" tour, so maybe he was going for a different sound?

[WalrusDoom]

@EpiclyConnor Also, I've watched a few live videos from the latest tour, and Ler definitely needs to be turned up. Claypool's tone swallows him whole.

[EpiclyConnor]

@WalrusDoom I know, he needs to be heard, especially with a 1 guitar band, I mean, Claypool is an amazing bassist but equally Ler is a brilliant guitarist. I guess they need to find a happy middle ground.

[WalrusDoom]

@EpiclyConnor I predict they never will, and Ler will one day kill Claypool in a murderous rage.

[Songwriter4God]

@EpiclyConnor Well, the thing is Les is the lead instrument in Primus really, even in the PG interview Ler was talking about this, he plays more of a backup guitar in Primus.

[DMSProduktions]

Goin' down to Southpark!

[ukshrednoodle]

Primus sucks!

[Flyguitar]

What a tortuos path of the guitar signal have this guy!!!

[fourgreyclover]

He sounds like Leonard from TBBT

[gunforhirenz]

I know Cadaver, He's a smart tech... I might steal that idea off him.. thats cadaver

[redjess1206]

He talks like Pat Smear

[Account3of7]

First licks sound like the Spongebob theme.

[shango02005]

This is awesome!! Thanks, PG!! :)

[groundloop07]

He seems like he would let me know if he saw it....that he would tell me I left my gas cap on the top of the pump. I love honesty.

[richvaca]

what kind of ending was that!?

[cheesedude5050]

I have that exact same American deluxe Tele!

[mungo6000]

I live for rig rundown videos. For real.

[giggs102]

Do one on grant nicholas from feeder. :D

[giggs102]

Duddee. this guy sounds soo chill and nice. DAMN..

[ahvaimusicom]

not a bad interview but the PG guy seems real nervous. cool gear too!

[slowpokerhino]

Been a fan of Ler since his days in Possessed. Very creative player with a style all his own. Anybody remember Blind Illusion with Ler and Les?

[sparrow1133]

i'm just about to watch this video ... i "liked it" already because it's a PRIMUS rig rundown !!!@#$%^ :D

[Aceley]

very humble guy! :) <3

[KT88FTW]

"everybody need robot sounds....."

[coche9009]

do I smell a Les Claypool Rig?

[premierguitar]

@coche9009 Unfortunately, not this time around.

[yitboy11]

YES! Primus SUCKS!

[cheesedude5050]

Where's Rebecca?

[CharliePutz]

Again, no Rebecca.... I'm sad...

[Socioistic]

@CharliePutz

Oh my God, does someone have to say that on every damned video?

[almudjk]

did you do Les?

[FrazzleDazzleVideos]

I've wanted to see his rig for so long...

[taez555]

Larry is on another planet musically. Every lick he played was a whole tone scale or something from another dimension. Love it!!! :-)

[RandomoviesAreFun23]

Day making video

[fluff191]

Larry is one Hell of an under-rated player.

[aceman42]

great gear. i like primus becoz of there longevity
