Primus-to defy the laws of tradition-frizzle fry

[punkdude179]

you don't need pot to know this song kicks ass

[mrjigglejugz]

he opened with this last night what a great show

[technician050]

@mrjigglejugz fucking amazing show

[Abe19James]

@Rawthorne1 damn right. got a problem with that scrub?

[MrBaldwin7113]

all you people with your stupid comments are so gay

[TheJames1233]

@MrBaldwin7113 i'm literally gay

[defribilatorvideos]

I don't really get the YYZ reference. Is that supposed to be making fun of Rush?

[pathiosocpuppets]

@defribilatorvideos It's how they open up for John the Fisherman on their live album "Suck On This."

[handymandan100]

@defribilatorvideos I think it was a little joke on their fans, as the other guy said, it was the way they started Suck on this. So somebody'd be all like: "dingity-dang baloney sassage! I just bought the same.... HAAAYYYYY! cleverrr..."

[xNaiveDaysKidx]

simply amazing :)

[TheDylon424]

GOIN TO SEE CLAYPOOL AND LALONDE AND ALEXANDER 10/13 AT ORPHEUM BABY!!!!!! THIS'LL BE 5TH TIME SEEING CLAYPOOL BUT ONLY 2ND SEEING PRIMUS.... IM SO PUMPED!!!!!

[pistolpimp36]

@TheDylon424 Dayuuum!!! That is awesome Man! Have a good one. I have yet to see Claypool's robotic bass work in action. I hope there's still tickets. I'm going to look into that.

[TheDylon424]

@pistolpimp36 ya check it out. orpheum theatre in madison WI

[RileyM1989]

@pistolpimp36 I've seen Claypool five times. Seen Primus twice and seen his solo stuff, even when he played with Buckethead. It never gets old seeing Les play live.

[anotherMittens]

@TheDylon424 That's Claypool, LaLonde, and LANE, good sir.

[TheDylon424]

@anotherMittens are u saying that Tim Alexander isnt with primus right now????

[anotherMittens]

@TheDylon424  Tim is not with Primus right now. Jay Lane, who also drummed with them in 1988, is the drummer.

[DrBungl]

Someone who says "Someone who says, "Primus and marijuana" gets top comment?" Wow." has obviously never defied the laws of tradition.

[Whaaaarrrr]

Yeah)

[Skaternick911]

YYZ

[cameronpaulmahar]

Do ya'll think Jay Lane is better than Herb? Idk what I think... I always loved Herb... But I saw em live and Jay was drumming, and he tore the fuckin place down son... guy is amazing. So I just want ya'lls opinion.

[charliehalstead]

primus and crank



[TheLastZiggen]

@charliehalstead hahahahahahahaha. those damn blue collared tweakers run this here town.

[putzdolly]

Primus sux!

[gshot316]

the primus sucks days are an age from long ago

[putzdolly]

@gshot316 Still, you have to admit that Primus sucks, still !

[primussucks]

@gshot316 i saw them at brixton last night and people were chanting it and i was thinking "this isn't actually the mid-nineties you know". if you'll excuse my profile name that is lol ;)

[teddrock21]

yyz wn!!!!

[Craigomyeggo]

I like the bass in this song.

[Kansaskron]

PRIMUS SUCKS!

[anonymouslol]

this topic, drop it

[anonymouslol]

drop the topic already

[anonymouslol]

let's drop it

[Cropse666]

I know that les said primus sucked and thats why everybody says it now but come on it's starting annoying. Here's the cycle I see on every primus page

First guy: primus sucks

Second guy: hey thats not cool

First guy: here let me go into full detail about why this is alright to say

Second guy: I see now

It may just be but it's starting to get annoying

[Rawthorne1]

Someone who says, "Primus and marijuana" gets "top comment?" Wow.

[degas]

@Rawthorne1

yeah lame

[putzdolly]

@degas Since you guys all have trouble listening to what you don't agree with, I have some advice, listen to what u want., if you don't enjoy Primus or anything we all say about them, then, occupy yourself with what YOU like, ha?

[frizzlefry420oh]

@Rawthorne1 quit your bitchin.

[belchingdonkeyy]

@Rawthorne1 well.. of course it does. if anyone has a problem with primus or marijuana, let alone both, theres something wrong with them

[meshuggahgrey]

@Rawthorne1 cuz marijuana and Primus go together like peas and carrots

[SOLANUM992]

@Rawthorne1 Not nearly the worst top comment i've ever seen.

Yours however, is right up there.

[yeif123]

@Rawthorne1 because they're right!

PRIMUS SUCKS!

[xxxletsmakeascenexx1]

i am defying the laws of tradition every day 4:20 am to 4:20 pm

@0:00-@1:00 is epic

[TheGrayRevolution]

[bakerchez]

Tim "herb" Alexander, the ginsu drummer!!! Most awesome.

Concert in June =)

[mountaindont34]

Primus and marijuana.

[mrbraindead12]

@mountaindont34 Primus, marijuana, and MUSHROOMS. Ah god, makes for a very weird night

[frizzlefry420oh]

@mountaindont34 indeed

[upsetMISFIT]

1 person defied the laws of tradition hur hur

[lengar12]

Where's the end dude?

*ahem*

PRIMUS SUCKS

seriously though wheres the end to the song?

[HellolzEveryone]

as far as im concerned this is the greatest song ever written

[SoenAfEnkaelling]

Something's missing... THIS VERSION IS SO INCOMPLETE!!! But what an amazing fucking tune, give ya that...

[LocurasDegaister]

I LAUGH WITH THE INTRO

[germyfromirc]

One of the BEST Primus tunes!

[lilasam44]

@germyfromirc So right brother!! it was a little while I didn't hear it, and tell myself: how????Fundamental stuff that's what Primus is, and espacially that one!!

[JohnWW7]

Primus sucks!!!! <3

[julia17long]

This is one of the first things I learned on bass!!! I love it \m/

[SoldierofAMVs19]

Ohh i made a mistake.

When people say Primus Sucks it means Primus Rules. Its an old slogan.

I stand corrected.

[desotowright]

Primus really did defy the laws of tradition. They made some of the wildest and quirkiest and awesomest rock music ever.

[markthemassacre]

les claypool is soo motherfuckin good... and so is LeDONDE

[Chauncy666]

@markthemassacre Dude they are all good! Les, Ler and former Tim, I dunno about Jay Lane.

[kendallbob]

they opened in Edmonton with this song last night, it was fucking crazy.

[spectaclebass]

@kendallbob yea i saw them in Chicago last weekend and they opened with this, great show

[MeanMustard650]

Was that YYZ in the beginning?

[andreweparks]

@MeanMustard650 yes it was



[crzykilla10]

@MeanMustard650 yes, you should also see john the fisherman from suck on this. yyz is in the intro

[Musician1896]

@MeanMustard650

Yes, it was.

[raakone]

@MeanMustard650 Yup. The triangle was doing "YYZ" in Morse Code, a tribute, no doubt, to the Rush instrumental (that also begins that way)

[capablekel]

OMG, i forgot how they used to open with this...pitch black, their hoods up and the pit started to go wild then BANG, you see nothing but the baddest, most wild man to ever hold a a bass

[1313Mordid]

I just saw these guys a week ago in Salt Lake City. They opened with this song. Such a good show!

[TheLastZiggen]

it starts with YYZ :D

[iDrum37]

one person is getting a roundhouse kick to the face for disliking this song.

[almostt]

WOAH... Primus Sucks.

[owenlhere]

primus sucks idiots

[elliedadheath]

What? Primus sucks? take your nickleback crap and ride the short ramp to retardville. At this point you are such a pigeon holed (all of you) moron of music that it doesn't matter. I'm sorry for you children...and anyone near you actually...

[primusfreak14]

Well if you knew anything about primus, they always say when there recording "were Primus and we suck." But i do agree nickleback does suck.

[primusfreak14]

you are do retarted win they are recording in the studio they say "were primus and we suck."

[superdude13666]

@elliedadheath man Primus sucks.

[MrPERPS]

yeeeeaaah,,,i have to admit,,, Primus Sucks.

[MHarrison84]

i like when people say primus sucks, when really there is nothing wrong with the band. The bass is crazy but the guitar still has crazy solos, and the drummer is really good, so, just to refresh my memory, why does Primus suck again? I love Primus

[inamadworld]

@MHarrison84 "Primus sucks" was they're old slogan, and they want fans to say it.

[MHarrison84]

@inamadworld i thought they got sick of that or something

[carrote2]

i m fucking canadien french and i like this song its amazing

[srgskitels]

@carrote2 *french canadian xD*

[Butteroux]

Primus sucks!!!! I saw them tour "Sailing the Seas of Cheese" when they opened for Rush. They blew Rush out of the water and Rush is one of my favorites.

[mpolino77]

All you drummers out there practice all you can and strive to be 1/3 that good. GO!

[victorguillen69]

both Claypool and Ler kill it in this song, primus sucks!

[marcuscantsayfool]

I think I just found my favorite channel of all time. Buckethead name, Zeppelin picture, Primus videos. Win. \m/

[Noremad]

I love playing this song as well....ON MY STEREO FROM MY CD! Jackass made it sound as if he could play Les' bass.

[KreatorOfDeath1985]

Well guys i have to say to all you nit wits down below me

Primus Is Primus end of the story

[hewholikethrush]

Fuck yeah.

Loved the YYZ at the beginning also.

[bassplayerbenji]

i love playing this song

[AlexanderMaccabee]

I think they did that on purpose, to f#ck w/ you [us]!

[coochie2u]

Frizzle Fry is my favorite Primus album.

[iDrum37]

primus is the best band of their kind

[NathanCMusicz]

I think that's because they are the only band of that kind ^_^

[iDrum37]

@NathanCMusicz

well, by "their kind" i mean funk-based-ish alt-rock

but ya theyll always be the only band of their texture. kind of complicated, sme people will get what im saying

[tricCWC666]

i would consider primus metal-funk fusion

[iDrum37]

@tricCWC666 well i dont consider primus to be metal

[tricCWC666]

@iDrum37 neither do i.....i consider them a fusion band

[Natemoore7]

@iDrum37 I don't put them in any genre, their too unique.

[patoon55]

people describe the as meteram or rock but neither really fit

[piepiepie900]

@patoon55 It's experimental, that's how I've always described them

[superdude13666]

@piepiepie900 to me Thrash-funk is the most fitting.

[LieutenantDan605]

@superdude13666 Thunk?

[callitacomeb10106]

@superdude13666 I always thought it was sorta metal with a silly voice. but awesome metal with a silly voice.

[assmane999]

@callitacomeb10106 : I would put System of a Down in that same genre then

[TransientMan]

@assmane999 you cant put system of a down anywhere near les claypools genius and ability.system of a down is a good band but not in the same league as primus or any one of claypools side projects

[assmane999]

@TransientMan : We're going to have to agree to disagree on this one. I love Primus so much, but System of a Down is my favourite band of all time. Their debut album, TOxicity, and Steal this album are all great from start to finish. It's magical stuff. They're last couple of albums were pretty average comparatively, but they're still freakin' amazing. I can't listen to any Primus album front to back. There's always at least one song that needs to be skipped. 

[RoboticsNShenanigans]

@assmane999 I used to be a big SOAD fan, loved the first 3 albums and could listen to all 3 front to back, but I also love Primus, and can listen to Frizzle Fry, Sailing the Seas of Cheese, and Pork Soda front to back all day long. It really is just a matter of opinion, although I would have to say that musically SOAD is no where near the talent of Primus.

[thrillkill01]

@assmane999 lol at calling Toxicity their debut.

[assmane999]

@thrillkill01: I didn't.  I meant their self-titled first album, and then their second album toxicity, and then their 3rd album Steal This Album. But, I can see why you would read it like that. I was making a list of 3, the debut album was first (separate from Toxicity). You sir, are a music snob.

[sociopathix]

@superdude13666 Experimental is the best fitting genre in my opinion.

Some of primus' songs fall under metal, jazz, bluesgrassish, funk rock, and progressive. Its like a mad mans experiment, that mad man being mr.claypool.

But claypool was once quoted as calling primus' genre "Psychadelic polka"

[poudy117]

I consider Primus in no other category than...Primus hehe PRIMUS SUCKS!!!!

[primusfeces]

Primus sucks sooo fucking bad.... in a good way

[SoldierofAMVs19]

@primusfeces I dont they suck.

But then agian alot of people hate GWAR but I love GWAR.

I AM THE ULTIMATE BOHAB!

[RoboticsNShenanigans]

@SoldierofAMVs19 Gwar is one of the greatest live shows ever...although their music is pretty shitty lol.

[NJPJMommaDJ]

@SoldierofAMVs19 I love GWAR and Primus.

[renegades1106]

@SoldierofAMVs19 gwar rules, primus rules. i guess i'm just into music everyone hates, cause i guess it gives me a sense of having something that not many people already have. thats why i don't like todays pop music. cause everyone likes that. i just like being different. some people just don't understand. some of us can't be what they want us to be.

[SoldierofAMVs19]

@renegades1106 Pop. That stuff has no talent man. Iike Justin Beiber fer example. He's handsome and stuff, but he cant sing for shit (he uses autotune). He doesn't play an instament. And he also doesn't write his own shit. He has ghost writers doing it for him. What a fucking hack huh?

Your on the right track my freind. Just stick to the good music. Fuck this tween garbage.

[thenaggerjew]

@SoldierofAMVs19 actually the kid can play guitar and piano but it doesn't mean all of the music he churns out isn't just a river of diarrhea

[renegades1106]

@SoldierofAMVs19 well i've been this way since birth. i was raised on slayer and red hot chili peppers. then got into other stuff as i went along.

[SoldierofAMVs19]

@renegades1106 I still listen to those guys. Still like them too.

[jman5630]

@renegades1106 Slayer and RHCP is an interesting combination...

[renegades1106]

@jman5630 two opposite's made it to where i can like everything else in between.

[gnome7in8overalls]

@renegades1106 CHILI PEPPERS WOOOOOO

[renegades1106]

@gnome7in8overalls right on my brother right on.

[Raphinater]

@SoldierofAMVs19 man you make such a revolutionary point and use such and original example. very profound

[SoldierofAMVs19]

@Raphinater Thank you brother.

[EinJemand92]

listening to their music is really a crusade only of the brave. but it's just worth it!

[Kwyjiboful]

Primus Sucks!

[Oliman6]

Get a Life

[alttari]

Primus sucks is a

 slogan

[Oliman6]

Oh...

..sorry guys....

Where did it come from?

[alttari]

Les Claypool was tired that everyone said that primus is the best band in the world so he said someone who said to him that primus was so great and Les said no we suck

[Oliman6]

ThankS!

[coochie2u]

Frizzle Fry is the best Primus album of them all. Every song on it rocks.

[gibsonlesmike]

but dude...primus sucks

[lightningrod89]

love how it starts out with the intro of YYZ :P

[primusfeces]

yeah yiga geay

[JJgamer93]

When I first listened to it, I thought that I was listening to a mislabeled "Suck On This"

Sick intro though!
