Primus Here Come The Bastards Outside Lands Festival 8/23/08

[ZombieEater2010]

Absolutely amazing. "Here they come..."

[salottin]

Here they come...

[googoplexable]

amazing hand dexterity fight the misuse of security

[ThrobnWood]

@googoplexable "Flagrant misuse of security", I believe. :j

[CobraX211]

Unfortunately I fear Larry "Ler" LaLonde can no longer crane is neck far enough to reach the microphone to do backing vocals, as demonstrated at 7:18

[parabola1212]

oh les you jokester youre so silly

[karasnice]

Brilliant Artists doing their thang, nobuddy else like em!!! Les is bes!

[nolman91]

"I like your shirt. It's very nice." Hahaha Les is the best. Primus sucks!

[AmnesiacGaming]

I heard crappy Keane and I hate the world, then I listen to primus my faith for civilization is restored. Primus sucks.

[lolstaz]

yyz that's awesome!

[A7X027]

Jay Lane is the best drummer primus has had!!!

[Fazioma00]

Tomorrow i'll see they in rome... HERE COME THE SUCKERS!!

[RottenHamburger]

god i love les, his personality is just like my brother's

[TheEnierlater]

@ 0:20 I'm pretty sure I can make the same noise with my lips and a nice pair of tits.

[TheCornCobbers]

Great Jam !

[cragmac1000]

They're such bastards!

[evanfity]

hahah i allways thought he had improved these lyrics

something about the hammerhead shark? hahah where do you come up with that, pure genious. only claypool

[mythkid1208]

Here come the bastards, eh? Well I certainly see 3 of them

[dgrizzly84]

Well...........Les said the bastards were coming!!!! guess its only 3 of them!!!

[alanschamber]

3 bastards don't know what "here comes" meaning :)

[iAMnoxon]

@alanschamber That wasn't very funny.

[muffinsNsausage]

@alanschamber 1 bastard doesn't know how to speak english

[alanschamber]

@muffinsNsausage or... maybe your IQ is not high enough to understand that concept. Oh.... sorry... I assumed that you know what "CONCEPT" means...

[muffinsNsausage]

@alanschamber did i say it was you?

[abowlofsoda]

PRIMUS SUCKS!

[Liamizawesome]

@abowlofsoda FUCK YOU!!

[zeppelin7752]

@Liamizawesome nooooooooooooob!

[zeppelin7752]

@Liamizawesome nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­b!

[mickeyviggs]

PRIMUS SUCKS!!!! Bwahahahaha

[blastmacheeeeen]

i think him and hunter s Thompson would've been good friends

[Fry1077]

lol ler is doing background vocals and you cant even hear him XD

[SSBMeta]

this has to be one of the best 5/4 rock songs ever

[ShaneMcD77]

This song is better live than the studio version. Look at that crowd. There's not many bands who can get a crowd jumping to a song in odd time. Check out my '54 Days' vid - song is also in 5!

[danthemanh]

@ShaneMcD77 if you have difficulty jumping to beat, then I think you should be put down for good.

[iwillcommitdeicide]

HELLA TIGHT!

[Mattarchy]

what a show-man.

[spannerfaction]

Rock'n it in the Free World !

[cardinalis]

Epic, as always.

[WalkerMacd393]

is brain kicked out?

[Tommythecat01]

@WalkerMacd393 Jay Lane is back therfore Brain is probably unemployed at this time..

[Dillbob1]

@WalkerMacd393 yeah, but im thinking we might see a comeback of c2b3

[DrFoopaaTroopaa]

i was there sooooo extremely good

[prophetofpeace2010]

What a crowd! I wish I was there! :D

[prophetofpeace2010]

This song applies to religious fundies aptly.

[aircooledvw62]

Instead of police sirens,they should play this on megaphone.lol

[SleepingInTheFire]

That song is perfect for the claypool march

[CoolKodiak]

When I think that Carl Thompson almost die building up Les bass !!

It wasn t made for nothing atlast !!

BIg up Leeeeeeeeeeeeeees !!

[decibel2000]

one of my favourites without doubt!!

[CoolKodiak]

Absolutely fuckin' great to wake up and go to work !!

[adegamisoumounopano]

instantly fixed my mood.

[MorbosDevilGrinder]

hail to the primus!

[vegasmt]

they headlined Lollapalooza in 93 in southern cal. Now That was an insane powefull, killer show, i've seen them probably 20 times since then but that show was amazing

[hootyhaha]

How many people just got a sinking depressed feeling of being old after realizing this was a reunion tour and you were jamming to this song in High School? Such a confused feeling of being depressed over getting older, but being excited over a song that rocks so much.

[Dillbob1]

i just learned that ler played with serj tankian from 2007-08 which is cool, i guess he stopped for this

[D33veeoss]

It's never faded. Damn near 2 decades and it's not at all diluted.

This was my favorite track.

Next 11.

Then Sgt. Baker.

One of the few who took time to get creative with the music.

Not Hendrix creative.

Like practically talented and technical creative.

Symphony type. You know, music.

[ManDudeYeah]

My brain would have been turned to shit if I was there... Absolutely amazing....

[louderthanlife2]

i was, and my brain was

[dumbbuff]

what song is the riff from at 1:25

[dumbbuff]

never mind

[chadolivernunn]

YYZ by Rush

[TheNECROMARE]

YYZ(ed)

[Trebor5678]

look at Les' hands at 1:15, sign language for YYZ

[neilpeartrocks2112]

wat is up with them playin the intro to YYZ on like 3 of there songs? is it just a tribute to rush?

[Steve9842007]

Yep. Primus toured with Rush back in the early 90's.

[sociopathix]

@neilpeartrocks2112

Geddy lee is les claypools hero growing up. He loves geddys bass lines, and infact after touring with them in their early days now remain close friends with rush.

Alex lifesong gave les a rickenbacker bass as a gift, and geddy signed les' main 4 string carl thompson on the headstock.

I love rush, and i love primus, geddy and les are two mad men bassists.

[AnnihliatorDBC]

This was the best concert I've ever been to. Some guy really got messed up in the mosh to. It was so crowded it must of taken them forever to get the guy to the medic tent.

[MetallicaFuelFixxxer]

its good to see them back

[dgutrid1]

just too perfect, tyvm

[LauraRyou]

They actually sounded a lot like Rush in the beginning, which makes it even awesomer... if that's even possible. xD

[crisco1up]

that was what they were doin they to a rush yyz cover sometimes

[Ichorid55]

"lackluster to say the least" lmfao Les, too much

[spicyMcHAGGIS9green]

Why when Les started off with "Here they come..." my head started to spin. That was fuckin awesome.

[rearwheelslider]

hahahahaha fuck yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[xXKNoXDViLXx]

Spanish Guitar-bass, no, no!

Spanish Bass-guitar, yeah!!

[askorbiinihappo]

The beginning sounded like Scatman.

[tannerdrummer48]

sounds like kermit the frog

an amazing band though

[meximechupanlasbolas]

that song sucks

[echopark48]

good ol' herb

[gittarherogod]

Wow, Ler looks a lot different now than he used to...he almost looks like Joe Perry

[KingAttle]

les is my fav. better...but he is a much better song writer than bassist...there are plenty better than him...dont get me wrong...he;s fuckin sick....2nd fav. band....rock on!

[jababajabaja]

well said mr bassmaster

[HailMetalHailPunk]

Primus is a band full of virtuoso musicians.

Les and Larry are the soul of Primus but the drummer isn't really a great thing.

[bassmaster211]

dude seriously? tim alexander is one of the best drummers of all time man

[MeatJackn]

@bassmaster211 no shit, mans got it.

[Tommythecat01]

@bassmaster211 You have never seen Jay Lane Live then Have you?????? 

[pekin2112]

@bassmaster211

i think that brian mantia is better drummer then alexander

[CountVanAccount]

I would rather call him minimalistic- He does what a good drummer should do (in my opinion as a guitarist): He palys the essential rythm where others do all this crazy show-off ego solo stuff. But If a drummer only plays such parts it destroys the song- trust me.

[sociopathix]

@HailMetalHailPunk

Yeah man, tim is an amazing drummer i dont really see where you get that hes not.

[sickboy3883]

tim alexander is a fucking beast behind the drum set, much better than Brain, who is a great drummer himself (just not in the same league as Herb)

You obviously don't know shit.

And yes, les and ler are fucking monsters

[hectorleon87]

mmm... les always has the best hats

[HailMetalHailPunk]

I WANT THAT TREMOLO BASS SO MUCH!

[drunkass77]

this is pretty amazing, i saw them on the brown album tour. it was a fun time. i remember i was most impressed with larry's guitar playing. hopefully i can see them again sometime.

[dogcatmouse23]

I was practicing this on a piano the bass lines

[luvs2spooge93]

i bet ya it sounded pretty sick huh

[jimromerulez]

primus sucks

[HamerLamer]

primus is absolutely the best. if only more modern music sounded like this.

[filthyspigot]

Yer funny

[kaslan]

primus is the most incredibly band in the world.

[tagger33]

THIS IS FUN TO PLAY ON MY GUITAR

[CountVanAccount]

CAPSLOCK IS FUN, TOO!

[anangryfrenchpastry2]

THIS IS FUN TO LISTEN TO ON MY COMPUTER

[elpinoles]

yeah!!!!!

[ladydirocks]

nice to see the group together again

[yago111yeeah]

SUCKS!

[Kevosk]

wooo primus sucks

[MorbosDevilGrinder]

the doesn't they often does YYZ intro before John the Fisherman? however i liked it a lot...

primus funking sucks

[iLoveOlivaMunn]

primus sucksssss!!!!!

[jalapenos666]

damn, thats a lot of peddles and shit on the floor

[slayermik]

only the best for a guitarist of lers capability

[lilbizbone]

lol "peddles"

[scarface21131]

awsome song but his voice sounds bad right now on this song but on other live versions his voice is good

[slayermik]

its cos hes using that microphone for a type of radio sound its a envelope filter and makes it more unique sound

[KingAttle]

it says Sandman on it...for the guitarist of morphine when he died...

[slayermik]

?????????????????????????

[KingAttle]

his other microphone with distortion

[slayermik]

yeh i know that but what has this :

it says Sandman on it...for the guitarist of morphine when he died......

got to do with the microphones you havent explained yourself at all

[KingAttle]

somebody asked about the microphone and what it says on it...i explained myself loud and clear....

it says sandman....for the guitarist of morphine who died....sandman is his name...les was friends with him....he died....so les put sandman on his distorted microphone....

[slayermik]

ok so why did you reply to me and not them ?

[KingAttle]

holy fuck, you really are THAT fuckin dumb.....

[cluclumaster]

Mark Sandman was the bassist of Morphine not the guitarist

[SchwagmasterJT]

That mic he using is actually a harmonica mike. I have one similar and it has a natural distoriton when used for vocals.

[ninjast4r]

This is kind of a lame story, but I was taking a break at work, sitting in a little cafe there that people can enjoy a meal from the deli, listening to my MP3 player. At certain times the the day, the management all get together, avoiding what little work they do to have lunch. When I first saw them all heading over to the cafe, this song came on thanks to shuffle. I laughed so hard I was crying.

[YngwiesDaughter13]

@ninjast4r

 *highfive*

[hootyhaha]

5 Stars for anything Primus by the way.

[hootyhaha]

The only thing that sucks about this video is being reminded how freakin long ago this song was, which reminds me of how freakin old I'm getting. It's insane how FAST time has flown by. I swear time's moving faster.

[CountVanAccount]

Yeah :( I want back to the 90's!!!!!! I think everybody would agree on that.

[billygoat94]

i know i would todays music sux.

Primus Sucks!

[hootyhaha]

And the 80s would be even better :)

[CountVanAccount]

Yeah :D

[munky6933]

yea the good ol days

[stepoutofline]

I kind of liked Brain....but I'm really glad Herb is back.

[GnerSpree]

PRIMUS SUCKS

[supremeDestro]

every one knows that les is the man. but it seems like people forget about how awesome the other guys in primus are.

[amarika222]

i was in the front when they played this! awesome show. i wish i could've stayed for the whole thing.

[ThePopeOfHeavyMetal]

When are these freaks touring Europe again?! Freakin' amazin'!!!

And a well portioned sense of 'musicians humor, I know :). Thanks Les & Dolf, the latter being the dude who got me into Primus...

DevinTuschhoff +10 dude!

[khakilike]

this song is in 5/4. which is really weird.

[winterster]

[guitarheroking1234]

[paintballbrodogg]

That "Primus Riff" is Actually YYZ by Rush

[THExJBxSUCKxCOCK]

i was talking about the opening riff for here come the bastards

[paintballbrodogg]

Ah, I see, Sorry about that.

And I gotta agree, It's pretty sick!

[THExJBxSUCKxCOCK]

[grindhouse8700]

[rockchelo]

en chile los esperamos con un buen copete!

[bowelrock]

Its good to see that Les is enjoing the show. He is totaly into it.

[terrypunishit]

PRIMUS A CHILE POR FAVOR!!

[NicXeno]

I was in the VIP front section to stage left. IT WAS WILD!!!! Wish they had moved them to the main stage. They deserve better than the stage they were put on! This should have been where they put Steve Windwood and Tom Petty. Sorry! But these guys were GREAT!!!! And could have played longer!!!!

[Blahsmack]

i was upfront when they started and got slowly pushed in to the mosh good times!
