Primus - John the Fisherman

[bytestreamr]

Best 20 sec of my life

KAKVI BOGOVI

[domdom72095]

Lol at kids who don't know anything about primus. \m/ PRIMUS SUCKS \m/

[WarmothGuitarist]

Ahhh. I miss VHS recorded music. A few years ago, I actually came across a VHS tape that I had set to SLP and recorded MTV for a few hours (circa 1993ish). I had to dig out an old VHS player to watch it. Some of the old shit on that tape was quite nostalgic to see. Too bad I don't even have that VHS player anymore.

[SheedyDoo]

@WarmothGuitarist Could be worse, you could be like me and have a bunch of taped stuff like 90's Nickelodeon all lost due to a flood. To this day, I am still pissed.

[WarmothGuitarist]

@SheedyDoo No doubt man. I've got a lot of taped stuff I need to record to DVD. Kind of cool to look back on it from time to time.

[musiqqqqqq]

@WarmothGuitarist pfft, even if I'm at the tail end of VHS recordings I still miss VHS. There is something about ever proving technology that doesn't prove itself to me.

[drakeTM1]

i hate rockband

but i also saw a south park episode with this in it! it made me happy for primus to reappear in south park

[Canaveral305]

I love this song, performance, video, everything is perfect, but there is one question that remains:

How in the fuck did Les manage to suddenly grow curly hair?

[crabwise69]

Primus sucks! The suck even worse live!

[CanYouHackett97]

@The147350 You suck. Primus is beast! My favorite band where the bass is the lead instument! Les Claypool is so awesome. If you think Primus sucks. You shouldn't be comenting on the video

[MrStrokeAce]

@CanYouHackett97 I can see that you are not a big fan of Primus...

Dude, It's really simple... Primus SUCKS!

[JackMehoff845]

@CanYouHackett97 i can see someone hasnt been into primus very long

[The147350]

\m/ PRIMUS SUCKS \m/

[Jubbeli20]

@SithAsentPower

Sait peukun alas senkin kakkapyllytyhmä!

[MisterDensity]

AMAZING intro!

[FlightofMartyrs]

i love you

[grungeisdead10]

Les looks like he has a jery carl

[AtheistJetser]

Why is everyone saying Primus Sucks? It's a bit odd since they don't suck.

[foobee2]

@AtheistJetser It's just a Primus catchphrase. Claypool started a song once with "Hi we're Primus, and we suck". It just kinda caught on.

[everlongk]

@AtheistJetser NOOB!



[FlightofMartyrs]

@AtheistJetser ....

[mylovedsystem]

@SithAsentPower as well as you mom does, i realised it last night

[isaacu]

Excellent quality, thanks for uploading.

[PJeanGuitar]

PRIMUS REALLY SUCKS!!

[movigrove01]

TUNE!!!

[Meeker128]

HOLY FRO!

[azkeyz]

I first heard about this by watching a south park episode where john the fisherman was mentioned.

but before primus was mentioned buckethead was mentioned.

I discovered buckethead before guitar hero was created.

I was under the impression that this was somehow a rival to buckethead

I can see this is nothing but garbage.

another myth busted.

I don't think buckethead would even spit on this.

[sparkzie123]

@azkeyz stfu troll, Buckethead has collaborated with Les Claypool from Primus...

And that kids is how a troll fails hard...

[ColonelVONJAZZ]

@azkeyz yeah i know PRIMUS SUCKS LIKE THIS IF YOU'RE A PRIMUS FAN!

[1970metalfan]

@azkeyz hey you realize buckethead and les claypool are close friends and primus recorded the south park theme song right you trolling bastard?

[TheIxnayhombre]

@azkeyz If you're a Buckethead fan you should know that Buckethead played in Primus for a fair while. Dumb Kient

[PrimusSucksOnThis]

@TheIxnayhombre Buckethead was never a member of Primus.

[parkourfreak27]

TH QUALITY SUCKS!

[biffbiffton]

fuck yeah, I love how everything sounds all gnarly and blown out

[chronicleone]

HORRIBLE QUALITY!!! Even for youtube this is terible.

[dharmaseed]

Does anyone know if there is a live version of this with Herb on drums? I prefer his style of playing.

[bojanks15]

why does primus have to suck so hard

[TheBerkinOz]

drum is kick ass !!!

[tomtebass]

The intro is superior bass orgasm.

[shetarynitup]

dang i wanted to hear their cover of Have a Cigar and was redirected to this video cuz it was deleted :( anybody know where i can hear that cover? i love Primus and Have a Cigar is my favorite Floyd song!

[figaz555]

@SithAsentPower

25 other wankers.

[figaz555]

@SithAsentPower

It gets old you faggot.

[zero88777]

les claypool has fingers of steel!!!!!

[vetec4]

With out Geddy Lee and Stanley Clark there would not be Les Claypool still the masters of bass is Geddy Lee and Steve Harris of Iron Maiden.

[tomtebass]

@vetec4

Don't forget john entwistle.

[amusingisthedawn]

primus sucks...at FISHING!

[swagar]

Holy fuck. This may be the hardest they've ever rocked. That may be partly due to the awesomely lo-fi quality of the VHS tape.

[Georg1986]

@swagar lets call it tape saturation ;)

[alaindewitt]

@swagar Hey, they recorded it on SP! What do you want??

[alaindewitt]

@swagar Hey, the dude recorded it on SP! What do you want??

[TheIxnayhombre]

@swagar yes! it sounds so gritty and fat at the same time

[neoconpuppet]

PRIMUS SUCKS ASS

[dtonbassist]

i started listening to primus because my guitarist at the time told me les was a great bassist (didnt know who he was at the time :( ) listened to tommy the cat once and fell in love instantly with that sound... cant wait to see primus this summer. i also hear they might be working on a new album :D

[nancyrenee83]

Primus has one of the best basists in history. This band really jams out and they have a unique sound. They were a big part of my childhood.

[FreakWhenSees]

I don't know how anyone can say primus suck, they're a group of three extremely talented and technical men who get together to make a sound unlike anyone else, they're doing their own thing and they're massively successful for it. It may not be to your taste, but they're technical able and have been more successful than a lot of other bands in their musical career and more successful than the majority of douche bags bitching on here will ever be.

[youman1996]

@FreakWhenSees Dude. If you're a Primus fan, then you should know that "Primus sucks" is what Primus fans say. What they mean is the exact opposite. Have you wondered why in every Primus video, a guy says it?

[Chameleonizer]

@FreakWhenSees "Primus sucks" means "Primus rules".

It's because they got so tired of people saying "Primus rules" that they wanted people to say something different so they started asking them to say "Primus sucks!". Confusing I know

[PrimusSucksOnThis]

@Chameleonizer No, it happened like this:

One day, after a show. Some one told them that they were really good. And jokingly Les turned around and said "No we suck". And it stuck.

[crayZtaco7]

@PrimusSucksOnThis

actually your wrong...at one of there first concerts Les got on the mic and said to the crowd "Hi, Were Primus...and we suck"

so the crowd started chanting primus sucks..then primus put primus sucks in their next album...and it stuck

[dalloway89]

@FreakWhenSees how many more fans must make themselves look like assholes before this 'primus sucks' thing catches on?

[TheRedScorpion91]

I'd like to see everyone that is talking shit on here play base like Les Claypool.

[I1ovepking]

most randomest song ever lol

[Falchion041]

Primus sucks!! :D

[ggcpres]

please lay off gutar hero.

y'all should be thankful, its keeping bands like primus in the minds of people born aftr they hit it big (like myself). we hear the epicness of this song and head on youtube to hear it again. we then clikc links, find even more awsome songs and thus the band lives on.

the alternitive is a generation that thinks Green Day and Lil Wayne are as good as music gets. do you really want that to happen!

[sithyness]

@ggcpres

I see your point. Now pick up a real guitar and learn to play it. :p lolwut?

Still... who decides what songs are included in Guitar Hero? At least they're not feeding you classic rock.

[AstroPopStar]

@ggcpres green day and little wayne are the shit old green day and some of lil wayne

[nancyrenee83]

@AstroPopStar Lil Wayne and Green Day? WTF? Who listens to Lil Wayne who also listens to Green Day?

[sithyness]

lol @ guitar hero!! sad thats how kids get thier new music today(especially when the music isn't new at all)

[JESSESEIBEL]

I agree with you, but I learned about this song from the first Tony Hawk Pro Skater.

My first Primus song was My Name Is Mud, my friend FORCED me to buy it because I had been wanting to get into the rock scene. I doubted it at first but now I love it!!! :D

(This took place 6 years ago)

[iamthegabbs111]

i love this band.

[KingAttle]

i was at this show when i was 16...so much fun...i miss the good ol' primus days.,..best days of my life

[koryfknbrine]

@KingAttle your luckey you remember them man ,, and they were awesome days

[theshadowcrow1]

primus sucks

[CuzImBluffin8D]

fell in love with this cause of guitar hero II

[MellofeverKrazy]

@CuzImBluffin8D

Same here :D

[bobshankar]

I dont know if this applies to you, but I hate people who learn songs from Guitar Hero, but dont know anything about the band and then dont look up other music by them. Like this one time I was talking to this kid who said he loved Disturbed. I asked him what his favorite song was and he said "Through the Fire and the Flames." I wanted to sock him.

[FruitCakeReaper]

if it stops kids becomin emo... i guess thats an ok way to be introduced to primus....

[dosomethin888]

@CuzImBluffin8D of course you did just like all the other people who dont listen to good shit. There are way better PRIMUS songs. FUCK GUITAR HERO!

[bassplayer1494]

0:41 seconds. Ampeg cab. i thought he only used GK cabs

[Steve9842007]

Les's rig? He used to use Mesa, then switched to Ampeg.

[juniorsenior9]

love that begening jam! ive been playing along to it on my bass for the last 3 days

[readmeat0]

check out Poetry an d Pros by Primus

[joustingjay]

no kidding, i wish i could just loop the first 20 seconds over and over

[juniorsenior9]

haha yea! it would be so much easier than having to keep restarting the video

[bizzyindmp220]

@juniorsenior9 its from the song poetry and prose

[XZuluSpunorX]

haha, les is amazing (:

[nyboy010101]

as a matter of fact, why don't we start the new trend together! PRIMUS RULES! KICKS ASS! AND mainstream music SUCKS.

[nyboy010101]

dude, do you have the rest of the audio? I'd DIE for IT! esp. Tweekers & Jerry

[MrElemental84]

Cool I always wanted to see more footage from this!

If you see Primus live these days prepare to have one of the best rock concert experiences ever.This footage does them no justice but its cool to have .

[81jimslim]

wow they suck so bad live

[nyboy010101]

ya know, anyway you say that makes you sound like a noob...there too far in their careers to have that be even a legitimate thing to say...and if you're serious about them "sucking" live...then go get some ears buddy.

[jwhits6]

fucking awesome

[Alarik5]

yeah stupid tool, primus sucks

[sprimusp]

primus rules. do we need any other Words?

[KazakageoftheSand]

Primus' genre is post-apocalyptic jesus

[XZuluSpunorX]

Primus is an amazing band

[esphyx]

i tried to sell my soul to play like less , and tattally got ripped off.

[biloretard]

[thelatedavidsmith]

PRIMUS FUCKING SUCKS

[GrahamQueen]

hahahaha well said only real fans know what that means

[shaynehoff]

yes they are quite awesome.

[VelvetKevorkian]

To the people burying this comment, "Primus sucks" was the band's slogan for many years. Learn something.

[6sic6slipknot]

Yes, but Les himself stated that it got old.

They ditched it about 10 years ago.

[aarononetwo]

Where was this filmed? Irving Plaza?

[UnderTheBridge67]

I've given up on the primus sucks thing. i prefer to keep my mouth shut. i always get hate mail for saying that. Primus kicks ass

[TENNESSEETITAN72]

lol

[UnderTheBridge67]

See? Thumbs down.

[jackass61115]

that is because Primus fucking sucks

[CopenhagenGunsDK]

YEAH!!

[crazyzach5]

I'd never heard of funk metal until I heard primus.

[TeamFlashGrenade]

I thought Primus' genre was 'Primus'.

[crazyzach5]

nope look it up

[Looser3k]

Their genre was psychedelic polka, at least Les said so.

Seriously, why do you all even care about genres?

[crazyzach5]

Because funkmetal sounds cool that's why.

[TECHNOID69]

i look up a primus tune every now and then..

and it amazes me that are idiot dickheads that still dont know about the primus sucks slogan.

[JorgeElMexicano]

primus doesnt suck they're just different and dont say shit cuz i bet you cant play any fucking instrument but the fucking recorder....their bassist is the best one out there so just stfu and suck it bitch

[smelserdude1]

"Primus sucks" used to be their slogan, coined by Les himself. However recently he said he's gotten tired of hearing it.

[then00best]

hey the recorder is BAD ASS. Les could play the recorder better than anyone probably

[TeamFlashGrenade]
