Les Claypool on CNN

[natedogg4702]

The interviewer just had to throw the word "cult" in there did'nt they? fuck CNN!!

[usaSAVAGE]

Les is probably thinking, Damn I'd love to Bang this chick !

>;]

[priMMoz]

great interview

[siouxzyable]

They had a fanatical fanatic base. Heh, heh.



[TheCreepsAreAlright]

...Feeling that SPARK...RIGHT NOW...

[bojanks15]

people who have never listened to a musician shouldnt interview that musician

[7777Jah1]

WTF lol

[voicesinmehead]

wow the interviewer would get it in the shit box

[Polaf3456]

CNN is dirt...

[blickluke]

Is there any one else who liked or knew Primus before South Park?

[ohiogrinder]

@blickluke I did, but it was just before, in 1997 right when the Brown Album came out.

[ALTDOK666]

@blickluke Oh yeah... The first I ever heard of Primus was when I saw them open for Rush on the Roll the Bones tour. Blew me away.

[naneux]

@blickluke If you didnt like or know about them before south park.. you aint a fan!

[blickluke]

@naneux Yeah just to make sure u know i did know about them before i knew they did the South Park theme, im only 16 tho

[Bo0meRs1]

@blickluke i was 7 when south park came out so i guess i kind of came into them together

[iCoverBands]

[thefinkiewicz]

[anarcho123flyfish]

[cbrandom]

@anarcho123flyfish No. No one cares about mountain time, sorry.

[8FourteenWords8]

Primus sucks.

[timothyahall]

What the hell? They only went on hiatus for about 3 years. They're talking as if they hadn't playing together in a decade or more.

[whatupdude96]

WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!!!!!!! I HAD NO IDEA LES MAD THE SOUTH PARK THEME SONG

[fireballjrb]

@whatupdude96 hahaha in the opening theme song, that man that they had playing the banjo in a red and white striped shirt is suposed to be Les

[SwampLord9]

@whatupdude96 He also made the Robot Chicken theme song.

[stoopidmonkeyful]

LES FOR PREZ!

[trialsrider001]

mushroom men kick ass

[thatPUNKdude]

damn. that interview was painful to watch. she had no clue what she was talking about.

[dLimboStick]

My brush with greatness: I first saw Primus in a small club in San Jose, CA that sat about 20 people. They opened for the Melvins. I bought my "Suck on This" tape and Primus Sucks T-Shirt from Les, personally. As I was leaving the club later that night, I ran into to Ler and Les in the parking lot and they invited me to hit a bong, which I declined...STUPID STUPID STUPID!!!

[MagicDexter68]

@dLimboStick In Sorry But that is the dumbest Fucking Decision of youre life DUMBASS sorry

[Bobofjudia]

@dLimboStick Aw,man, it sucks that you declined.

[ContinuousContinuing]

@dLimboStick You could've hit bong with Les and Ler and you declined? WHAT THE FRICKIDY FUCK!! YOU FUCKING MORON!!

[Apemopo]

@dLimboStick D:

[Igogreenable]

@dLimboStick damn your lucky, but not lucky at the same time

[rolandsonofstephen]

that lady is a douche

[LukeQuietus]

She's stooopid.

[numnutth]

she has to be the worst interviewer on the planet. but i'd still bone her.

[asktunes]

Lady's an idiot & Les intimidates her...

[Bajuiceta5]

If it's a worldwide phenomenon then it's not a cult following...dumb cunt.

[DOGxDAYxSONxRISE]

1:20 les is like..."you just asked me that same fuckin quesiton worded differently"

[buck123]

dumb shit interviewer. you could ask Les any question and you land on doing the south park theme?

[SgtBastard101]

Then they show a clip without Tim. CNN can suck my dog nut.

[Krabpeoplepxv]

dude he looks like edward norton

[pittless22]

@Krabpeoplepxv omg thats what i thought. and he sounds a bit like kermit the frog.

but i love his or their music. amazing musicians.

[quietguy101]

this interview is burnt!

[thewhitezombie666]

i fucked that chick.

and les is the master of the bass guitar.

[dudesons441]

@thewhitezombie666 video or gtfo haha

[InfinitConsciousness]

Les isnt acting himself in this shit. Dumb fuckin cunt!

[cptXmunch]

"body of actor-writer Spalding gray has been found: pulled from east river"

well thats fun

[swaimb]

What a dumb blonde.

[notmefuckingname]

this interviewer is fuckin anoyying.

[stupidjeenyus]

yes shes hot, but she has no idea what shes asking. she is retarded.

[rockintheguitar]

@stupidjeenyus A retarded person on CNN? Say it aint so

[Garompman]

Les is a genius

And by the way, that Susan is H O T

[opti95]

legendary?

[redvsbluefanman]

I don't like the lady that was interviewing him

[Painkiller1117]

ive only been a primus fan for a couple years, and i know that the "primus sucks" catch phrase needs to die. I mean i would be getting a lot of shit if i tried to bring back, "Yo dude that song was the bomb!" or "Moted!"

[bojanks15]

@Painkiller1117 i must have missed moted!

[natydredloc]

thank jeebus herb iz back !!!

[jmorg1]

Wow he sounds like Tommy the Cat

[ou812bass]

ooh! she felt the spark too....

[iDontKnowJoe99]

Yes, there have been none that sucketh as much as Primus, the kings of the suckiness.

[Clayxbmx]

yes...PRIMUS SUCKS!!!!!

[TheCuriousOrange83]

Ha ha, 9Ejected must be a newbie.

PRIMUS SUCKS

[King0Lesbo]

do a bit of research, son.

[Beatnikzombie]

@9Ejected If you really knew anything about Primus, you'd say PRIMUS SUCKS!!!

[ant1ph0n]

@Beatnikzombie funny thing is, i don't know much about primus but i do know about that phrase, sucks for that guy though... 9Ejected?

[ant1ph0n]

@Beatnikzombie only 'cause i saw 'em at vegoose some years ago. pretty awesome show, for some reason i'm vaguely recalling a yellow inflated duck, anyone recall that?

[Beatnikzombie]

@ant1ph0n I don't remember a duck. I did see a large pig at Pink Floyd.

[9Ejected]

if u knew anything ud stop .. cause les told ppl to stop sayin it because they said that the term is getting over used

[Beatnikzombie]

@9Ejected If I knew anything, it would be that I don't care. Why have you deleted half your comments? Embarassing yourself?

So sick of people fighting on youtube.

Love you.

[9Ejected]

@Beatnikzombie hey um shut up

[Beatnikzombie]

Smooooch.

[wesman2232]

ROFL fans will still use that till Primus disbands forever. You have no control over what people do so stop whining about it and just go on with your life ;)

[Wierdoinc]

Primus sucks!

[mikelindsey]

Im surprise Les didnt completely mess with this dumb broad who knows nothing about Les and how great he is!

[kindguy420]

PRIMUS SUCKS!

[OTEP1234567891011]

What kind of conformist band do you like?

[kindguy420]

keep your mouth shut when you dont know what your talking about son.

[12ozPoint]

I see that it's 4:20 for a while!!

[ilovetool420]

ahahahahaha

[thatfunnyguy33]

i dont know what it is, but he reminds me of Tom Green

[DaedricLavaWhiskey]

he reminds me of.... les claypool hes so unique you just cant compare :D

[jgmack823]

i wish she knew who primus was before she made the interview lmao

[ps3fanforever]

@jgmack823 LOL, yeah, she said "Thank you for coming, Les Claypool from Primus" and at the begining she said "The legendary Les Claypool from Primus". The "Legendary" part is truth,though. :-)

[2c26]

@jgmack823 OH poor russian scientists....

[rdensmore18]

really a cult folowing wtf

[lobsternoob]

she was talking about south park, with the cult following thing, but still i agree WTF.

[rdensmore18]

i no she was talking about south park but the way she said it mad it sound bad like drinking specila cool aid and wering tin foil hats

[lobsternoob]

ya, i know what ya mean, either way it was a pretty bad interview on her part.

[AteEsixed]

awkward

[jleeper90]

mystifyingly awful questions. she asks the same retarded questions like 3 times, if i was les id be all like, bitch please

[dantheman90045]

anyone know what song that is?

[t3hsniper]

i just somehow picked out it saying 4:20pm MT right under PRIMUS on the screen at 2:44 =)

[meslem99]

I never really got into Primus or Les Claypool, but after listening to his interview, I do have respect for the man. He speaks well and is intelligent, unlike most celebrity assholes.

[moisttowlette123]

49% of people approve of president bush ha. what year was this?

[promegagirl]

primus sucks... listening for over 10

[phenomenator]

Primus Sucks!

[BIGCJMCNASTY]

wow people sure are retarded

Primus Sucks!

[commieobama]

John Entwistle was voted by other professional bass players as the, "BASSIST OF THE MILLENIUM".

[LordBoognish]

I keep hearing that, Entwistle still blows though. They probably only polled Rock 'n' Roll bassists

[commieobama]

Entwistle does not blow. He may not be your favorite but you cannot change facts and the fact of the matter is JOHN ENTWISTLE WAS VOTED BY OTHER PROFESSIONAL MUSICIANS AS THE BASSIST OF THE MILLENIUM. MOST PEOPLE DO NO THINK HE BLOWS. Now you may disagree with his crown but to say he blows is way out of line. Entwistle has won polls for 45 yrs so there must be something there. Cheers

[fender1809]

entwistle is great. but the new millenium has now come and you'd have to be better than gianni serino to be awarded that title in 991 years from now :)

[commieobama]

Bass Player Mag and Guitar Mag had everyone included. It was all bassists from all genres of music. It was not only rock n roll. So now what? Entwistle won out of thousands of entries. Must be something there.

[commieobama]

Dont know who or what bassists would say that. Any bassist worth their weight would at least say Entwistle is good or great. How can any bassist say he blows. That is so funny that you would even state such a thing. The man has won polls for the last 45 yrs. Professional bassists voted him Bassist Of The Millenium. You dont suck with that title.

[robertorendorff]

i think he got the award because not only is he extremely talented, with the who he revolutionized the role of the bass player, introducing solos and such, that is the mark of a great bassist, changing the genre

[commieobama]

right on!

[IcarusKidd]

Primus sucks!

[wizkid22]

Primus SUCKS

[swmianon]

PRIMUS SUCKS!!!!!

[dankston]

you can tell les gets so mad when people ask him about the south park theme haha

[bigbigsound]

so here i am typing away having some fun on you tube and me and some of my primus buddys start havin a laugh with the whole routine from "canada goes on strike" (season12 southpark) and some numbnuts goes and marks it all as spam..are their any primus fans who dont watch the show?

'cos lemme tell you marking a freindly non hateful bit of fun as spam is in fact a sign of insignificant genitalia! thanks buddy,pal,friend etc etc :-)

[Surfanimal1990s]

that's too many puppies that's the song and the music video,man sweet interview,too bad that lady looks she never has listen to primus,hahaha!!!!!!!

[drewdudy]

wish that video thats showing was on youtube thats 1 of my favorites songs primus has

[Rev0lutionIsMyName]

Am I the only one that gets mindfucked every time I see Claypool on TV? His music is legendary, but by no means was it ever meant to be popular. I mean...acknowledged by CNN? GAhh!

[1000kittens]

they need to do another tour

[Fry1077]

they need to come back again... I mean make a new album lol

[rinoldkirk]

she don't even know that band just reading que cards

[sourpips]

whts the song at with the music vid tht starts at around 49 secs

[funkymonks0724]

Over the Falls from the Brown Album

[xaviermoyssen]

and what is the song in which everyone starts moshing and stage diving about at 2:30?

[Blazeme1up]

to many puppies

[mohawk1020]

too many puppies

[FunkyDung1969]

i just got back from a claypool show and hes pretty fucking awesome.i saw him before but the second time was waaay better.

[heresthebestpart]

they celebrate primus' reunion by showing a video with brain not tim first? well done, cnn. well done.

[holdencaustic]

Les has said that he got sick of the primus sucks slogan after a while--

[Glue49]

Primus Sucks! i love them!

[schporgmolots]

Primus creates wonderful music. Is that plain enough for bass0322 who possibly has a third 21st autosome?

[TheWaspJar]

I bet Les has a huge cock.

[pestronia]

well that was kinda weird

[SvenIsHere]

PRIMUS.....GODS...!!!

[Freakinsweet1234]

they fuckin rock. claypool is one of the best bassists ever conceived. PRIMUS SUCKS!

[Marksiregar]

When was this?

[werdnaarchie]

PRIMUS SUCKS

[jonny3gwd25]

oh my GOD people. stop thumb downing PRIMUS SUCKS comments. i hate having to thumb up them to save them. pull your heads out of your asses. please.

[bass0322]

Why do you hate?!

If you don't like the music, don't listen to it. Stop trying to convince everyone there bad.

Believe it or not, people actually, GENUINELY think this band is good, and we hate it when people criticize them.

[balcake9]

Are you retarded?

Don't try to act like a hardcore Primus fan if you don't understand "PRIMUS SUCKS"

[bass0322]

No, I'm not retarded.

I get on here to listen to music. Just because I don't get something that "everyone knows" doesn't mean I'm retarded. Not trying to act like a pussy, but all you have to say is it's Primus's slogan.

[balcake9]

Not good enough, this is the internet.

If you didn't know to eat, which is what everyone knows, you would be retarded.

[bass0322]

I'm pretty sure I'm not diagnosed with mental retardation

[tasha122277]

even more retarded 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.

[horrorbusiness420]

mullets were never cool buddy.

[bigbigsound]

dont call me buddy,friend!

[The1stFishBone]

don't call me buddy, guy!

[bigbigsound]

i'm not ur guy ,friend!

[bigbigsound]

im not your buddy pal!  heh heh heh heh heh

"i waaaant the internet mhhuuunyy.....or we'll strike!!!!" :-)

some doffus maked you as spam?(pal)

[itstrickett09]

bob seger proved that wrong

[goolgle29708]

south park is all dominant!!!

[Crushing88]

I saw Primus LIVE last year! FRONT ROW!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was schweet.

[acdc11491]

u lucky lucky fuck :D

[Rickster151413]

i hate you!!!

i would kill to see them.

PRIMUS SUCKS!!!

[bigbigsound]

supportin janes addiction,rush and headlining,

Early 90's was a good time to be a teenager :-)

[Rickster151413]

if only you could feel the jealousy through your computer screen. yeah i was born in '91 i missed out. " We're Primus and we suck!" -Les Claypool (jellikit)

[BIGCJMCNASTY]

I was born in 88 and saw Primus when I was 7 years old.

EVERYBODY SAY LARRY YOUR A BASTARD!!!

[blaze21brett]

it seems that Tommy the cat is there most popular song i mean you here it everywhere but i am not complaining PRIMUS SUCKS

[sociopathix]

Tommy the cat, Jerry was a racecar driver, John the fishermen, most non-fans know them songs so yeah its one of the more popular/mainstream songs

[Squibfire]

wow CNN knows who Primus is lol awesome

[Adriansfubass]

they probably had no idea 2 days before this

[PearlJammer07]

What a great band. You really can not categorize Primus. The querky song names is just the icing on the cake. Too bad they broke up.

[nrod22eagles]

PRIMUS SUCKS= FUCKING AWESOME

[Tuftez]

I second that, if I was religious, Claypool would be my good aswell. Or Joe Pesci.

[Burton4892]

Pray to Joe Pesci!

[n30x3l]

les claypool looks like fidel castro

[GVHxC]

and your head looks like my ass

[jjdunn21]

PRIMUS SUCKS!!!! "Dale Davis Tree Farm" is my FAV. song...to bad there's only one (Live) video of it on youtube...that sucks!!..PRIMUS SUCKS!!!

[ConspiracyRevolution]

Primus Sucks!!!!!!! = That means they rock.. according to Primus

[fillmorelizard]

Hi we're Primus and We Suck

[SLO100GUY]

PRIMUS SUCKS!! Btw they are my all time favorite... make sense yet?? it's a Primusian compliment!!!

[FlatlineConstruct]

well yes now I know. big woop.

[FlatlineConstruct]

lol. dipshits commenting on how primus suck. like anyone gives a flying fuck what you think.

[thetrevorchannel]

"Primus Sucks" is a catchphrase that primus fans say to really say that they are good. its a weird idea, but anyway, primus really is a great band. Les is legendary

[jam406]

You obviously don't know much about primus.

PRIMUS SUCKS!

[SocialDeviant77]

PRIMUS SUCKS!
