Shake hands with beef Primus

[Malkmusianful]

I love how Les can make masturbation sound menacing.

[chicks123]

Oh no! Les got zapped!

[jmsmessner]

I want the blonde to shake hands with my beef

[xxxletsmakeascenexx1]

I <3 crystal meth 0.0 primus suks



[Skinr54]

What's the name of that style of sunglasses? (the ones Les is wearing) And where can I get some?

[TheDerek189]

I miss more classic originality, as given to us by primus and the amazing talent of les claypool.

[TheDerek189]

All of todays bands sound exactly the same as the other new ones. And they all sing about the same shit. Being emo, having problems and not fitting in, crying over a girl, its all turned into a bunch of teenagers copying decent earlier precurser bands and changing their style into something slightly different, while getting paid for writing shit music. Standards have become low for originality. All you need is a pretty face, cloned voice, and simple chords. Todays audience is so unsophisticated.

[LICK5d]

@TheDerek189 THANK YOU! I could not have said it any better. I thought that music was supposed to get wilder and crazyer until your to old to understand, and its to loud for you. Not get weaker and weaker. Its all so, I dont know,,,,,,,,, fabricated?!?!

[chezterwest]

PRIMUS RULESSS XD !!

[skizmsucks23]

its better live. but the album version is pretty aweosme too!

[TheLesImpersonater]

i would chop my nuts off for that bass!!!

[TheLesImpersonater]

i wouldchop my nuts off for that bass!!!

[McStabYou]

I love how they record at half speed and speed it up to look more weird and cartoony.

[JizzMasterPino]

wtf. 1:47, she looks like Anna Paguin from True Blood. Actually isn't that her?

[pricakes]

@JizzMasterPino lol... no *paquin btw

[jpence69]

mama probably raised her on huge slabs of meat...cant say enough bout primus....primus sucks

[lilnetty2]

In rock and roll,the more like a cartoon charcter you are in real life, the better.

[xxxletsmakeascenexx1]

Primus is bad ass even though there songs sound like a 5 year old wrote the lyrics LOL, but no one relizes how bad ass Larry Lalonde (guitar) and Les Claypool (bass) are.

[bubbabobodbrain]

this song is all attitude buddy

[Naldover]

I fuckin love the drums in 3:16 !!! And that blonde too!

[Rooney22]

Grandi Primusss

[rowley66]

PRIMUS SUCKS!!

[mcsavage89]

They look like bugs! :DD

[LICK5d]

They fucking rock! How come cool shit like this doesnt come out anymore. The 90s had some really cool bands. Everything now sucks ass! I feel like I fell into some weird american idiol world, of shit. HELP ME!

[4sostrander]

@LICK5d No, Primus sucks. Idiot -.-

Just kiddin'.

But Primus does suck!

[alexsweeley]

@LICK5d What a sad thing to say, there is always good music being made, you just have to look for it.

[lucidshadows666]

anybody else get weirded out by how when they show the guys playing/singing, it looks like stopmotion animation and yet it's still all synchronized?? Totally weird....it sucks :D

[w35m4n]

@lucidshadows666 It was recorded at a slow rate (i.e. low frames per second) so when it is played back at the normal frames per second it looks fast and jerky. It's real footage though, not stop motion.

[despicablenerd]

@lucidshadows666

i have seen them playing this song live and they play the instruments just like in the video, even with the exaggerated strumming of the guitars :P

[comoncur]

lamcola guess what ur a chode chomper u little fuck speaking of dicks u suck them and u dont have one

[Zeroethorder]

He has a point, Primus sucks.

[teflonsk]

been a REAL long time since i read the article, but i'm pretty sure Les got the term from a vegetarian friend that would periodically 'cheat' and say that he had to go 'shake hands with beef' when doing such. anyone else hear the same thing?

[Iamcola65]

this song shuld be called shake hands with dick!

cuz primus suck and are ghey!

do they even have a bass player? oh yea,

some redneck called Les Clappol. Pfft I can play better with my toenails

AND YOU CANT SHAKE HANDS WITH A BEEF!

[gators1268]

@Iamcola65 what's this I'm hearing about dick?

[deurges]

And so, if you don't like Primus, why do you come here? oh yeah, I gotta it, to mess around... ok... fuckin' retard... ps: his name is Les Claypool, even if you wanna spit on Primus, at least, write correctly.

[Desmaad]

Been singing this song for the past couple days.

[wordupassholes]

this song is sexy

[smithy21able]

Poor drummer dude, he doesn't get to fly.

[SaweetTooth]

[spoonforleg]

hah, pdpdrums25 loves beef

[Schbopo]

I love when Ler starts flying and still manages to play the solo.

[sociopathix]

lmao, i know your comments a year old but it made me laugh "Ler starts flying and still manages to play the solo" as if he was actually flying for the video XD

[PdPdrums25]

I listen to this song multiple times everyday. Something about it just...god I love beef.

[guns4play]

[Pancakesareyumm]

Primus sucks.

[killer16423]

[ducmilo]

[roldaig]

No Way!! I was living in the exact same camper when I heard Primus for the first and got hooked. I never saw this video before. Man it takes me back. Those days rocked! Claypool,,, what can I say but thank you Bass Gods for sending him our way!

[fevershorty]

hahahha

:40 is the best

[moester101]

love it

[crazyedd123]

this song can be played on a 4-string in standard tune btw

you don't need a 5/6 string to play it

[Plas13]

tell me how.....

[epistemes]

hey!! who is these girl?

[Guitarshred31]

brown album will always be my favourite its got such an awesome sound to it

[loqwiwi]

eye for a tooth

[dookiebl]

the brown album is definatly underrated but pork soda will be my forever favorite

[HotDiggityDouche]

I love it when Larry plays with hella distortion.

[westonfilms]

Are they both playing bass?

[westonfilms]

Nevermind

[xslipknot03]

Les Claypool kicks ass. I love what he did with his facial hair lol.

[omar1971]

Primus Sucks!!!!!!!!!!

[tofurkey0]

PRIMUS SUCKS!!!!!

[tuomasjar]

How constructive... We bow to your intellect... Door is to your left

[tofurkey0]

tell me son...how long have you been listening to primus?

did you just stumble upon this awesome song?

did some one tell you about this cool band?

are you so fucking stupid that you don't know an old primus catchphrase when its said?

real smart dumb ass... we bow to your intellect... door is to your left.

[kmvoss]

"Did some one tell you about this cool band?"

And that makes people any less worthy to listen to the music. Listen, you might think you're in on something by knowing that catch phrase, but the guy was trying to defend a band you enjoy. Don't be such a bitter douchebag.

[tofurkey0]

i never said he was unworthy to listen to primus.

where did you get that?

i do not think i am in on something by knowing a little primus history.

your attempt to make me sound like a pompous asshole is thwarted!

your statement...

"but the guy was trying to defend a band you enjoy"

how would he know i enjoy it if he heard me say primus sucks and he took offense to it?

everything you said was wrong.

and lastly, bitterness and doucebagness runs wild in my family.

its simply nothing i can change...

[kmvoss]

Hey now, I'm the KING of trolls. Don't even start with me you'll end up throwing yourself out the window.

[xXJoryXx]

dnt call him a dumbass its a good thing that he learned about primus and who cares if he doesnt know the old catch phrase how would he know it anyways, he maybe just discovered the band...

im pretty young and i was barely alive or rly young for most of their albums.

i only started listening to them within the past couple years and when i discovered them, i didnt know primus sucks was the motto

he was just trying to defend them, so dnt be a douchebag and welcome ppl into liking primus

[Jeppetoh]

hahah barely alive

[JuicyStringsz]

one of my fave primus songs.

[LordEarth69]

I love these guys

[LegendofJ]

something about his legs at :46 to :50 scares the hell out of me

[Killenmachine05]

man thats one of the reasons why i idolize prims the way les dances

[ddosBass]

no, you just idolize les for dancing funny.

[MrPantucci]

Methinks LegendofJ, Killenmachine05 and ddosBasss are saying the same thing: I idolize Les Claypool because his funny dancing sorta scares me. Man, I wish I had come up with that little dance to do onstage.

[Killenmachine05]

man its so cool tho and ddosbasss made it sound like thats the only reason i listen to primus

there a big influence in my life and i would have never picked up an instrument if i hadnt heard of primus

[MrPantucci]

Yeah I know I was kidding, I understand. Primus are one of my favourite bands ever, too. Definitely underrated!

[bobopatchigglerrulez]

lol they recorded it slow like and sped it up just like wynonas big brown beaver i like the affect its hilareous

[JustinNwoKiller]

*song

[JustinNwoKiller]

The sing is about whacking off....Epic!

Primus Sucks!

[wallsk8r]

Its just not the same without beavis and butthead talking in the background

[MichaelClupp]

i wont les claypools bass

[wallsk8r]

yeah, me either

[kablooey]

lol@wallsk8r

[HailMetal12]

I would give my left testicle to have

it

[666M4GG07666]

PRIMUS SUCKS!!

[gangboy12]

godamn no one ever knows the inside joke

[666M4GG07666]

Indeed! I think it's even funnier when people take it as a serious comment for their live videos. Don't they hear the crowd shouting "PRIMUS SUCKS!"????

[SaintSanic]

...most people by now know it as the Primus motto...or it was until they got sick of it. I wouldn't call it an inside joke.

[zakryan79]

a song dedicated to meat, and livin it up...nothin much better than that shit.

[mormodaimon]

actually its shakings hands with somebody you dont like, like u have a beef with them, or its a handjob

[purpledrink274]

wise words sir

[zakryan79]

you may have something there, but the handjob idk.

[nirvana505primus]

This song has an amazing guitar solo.

They seemed to had mellowed by the brown album

[viking2972]

i agree with turkeygabs...more is better

[mcfoglerstinefred]

lulz.

[VashTheWaterbender]

This is a question for all the Primus fans.

I am debating whether I should get the original or the extended version of this song off of iTunes. Please comment.

[tookurjaerbs]

Easy...the more Primus the better.

[VashTheWaterbender]

I just didn't know if one sounded better or any different (different tune or not as enthusiastic).

[merylrox22]

primus does not suck.

[kingofvwcosmos]

Yeah, Primus rules.

but...

PRIMUS SUCKS! :P

[juzeklz]

bull shit

[purpledrink274]

im scared of that little kid .. and this song

[aJazzcat]

PRIMUS SUCKS! i really hope they might tour one or two more times before they lose interest in primus...

[ubernewhacks]

Keep in mind Primus Sucks was a catch phrase they had, and is no longer in use by the band. It means Primus is great (When said by them), and has started a billion flame wars on every video. Seeing as they have now abandoned that catchphrase (due to what I had just stated), be careful when using it.

[ihatemath2696]

u know whats weird a hate comments get praise under a video about the band lol but its true primus kinda sucks and the are incredibly odd......

and les scares the crap outta me lol

[aJazzcat]

primus sucks is their motto btw

[interpoltotbl]

PRIMUS SUCKS!!!!!

[DosuRocks]

Prmus is a very strange band... but that is what makes them so awesome! Les is so awesome! Who is the drummer in the video? Brain?

[ibanezman14]

haha this song is crazy

[Beerlejuice]

PRIMUS SUCKS!!!

Les Claypool rules, I wonder if Larry Lerlonde has ever thought of killing him out of insane jealousy. This song kicks ass, haven't really listened to the other albums that came out after this one, not sure if they're really good or not. Primus kicks ass.

[MomSaysImCool]

Uh..... Yes? Antipop? Dude? Awesome?

[noyzone01]

haha, ler MUST be flying to keep up with les.

[bananabaconcake]

Is that Brain on the drums? And it's also funny how somebody went and thumbs downed all the comments about that chick being hot.

[phxsns1]

yep that brian mantia

[bananabaconcake]

Yeah, Wikipedia tells me that Tim Alexander left before the Brown Album came out so they got Brain instead.

[phxsns1]

Yeah tim left in like '96 or something

[bostonconvic]

That chick can shake hands with my beef any day1

[bananabaconcake]

Hey, is this song about eating burgers or is it about...what you said, haha?

[guitarplayer556]

larry lalonde is so underrated

[jeffey217]

that is unfortunatly sad but true

[Kujoe89]

He really is. I guess it's because he's just outshined by Les. But could you imagine having to come up with a guitar part for Les' crazy bass lines?

[cooperfan29]

wicked song, such an awesome bass line. les has to be one of the greatest bassists of all time

PRIMUS SUCKSS!!!

[leatherneck448]

holy crap that girl that walks out looks EXACTLY like my next door neighbor.......

[ledzepman19911]

Who is that chick?

[danieljonathanc]

thats a damn good question

she's fine...

[bananabaconcake]

Hah, Gabby Lala? Only true Claypool fans would get that...

[gangboy12]

amazing guitarist

primusssss suckkksssss

[Ra1is3God]

i want les's sun glasses and i used to puff tijuana smalls

[ledzepman19911]

the chick that walks out at about a minute and 41 seconds is hot!!!!

[phxsns1]

I think I saw this on mtv when I was 3,and I even loved it then!

[phxsns1]

primus is weird,but that's what makes them unique!If you hate them I hate you!

Les Claypool=bass god

[sheridesquads]

This video is even better stoned!

[motoxchamp321]

haha poor les

[joshbergg]

PRIMUS SUCKS...BALLS

[phxsns1]

yo mama

[redbullkoalaguy]

ROCK ON! PRIMUS SUCKS!!!!

[denso6]

fuck Metallica!!!!

[GeorgeHumperty]

that bass kicks ass just listen to that bitch

[joshbergg]

shake hands with my DICK

[TyrantVideosInc]

In my opinion this is the suckiest era of primus ever (Suckiest in a good way, if you know what I mean)

[tuneofyourdeath]

Wicked Sick !

[goblinsecret]

PRIMUS SUCKS!!!

[SkatingandStupidity]

that they do that they do

[japmuz]

how can you say they suck?????????

THEY RULE!

[spugintrntl]

"Primus Sucks" is what true Primus fans say... not sure why, but if you see somebody saying that, it's a term of approval.

Primus sucks! :D

[LBDashus]

they retired that catchfrase anyway

[traviswilliams]

On their first album, "Suck on this" at the end of Jellikit, Les says "Thanks alot, we're Primus and we suck"  Someone in the audience says "That's right, You SUCK!" I suspect that is why it has stuck. It will never go away, even though Les did ask the audience to say "I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts" instead.

[spugintrntl]

Never knew that was how it started... thanks for clearing it up!

[FuckY0utube72]

You cannot understand.

[Sagothnatu]

I have to say it.. PRIMUS MUTHA@#$IN SUX!!!

[Medusa63]

Oops, I meant to do a thumbs up! Sorry! Dammit LOL Thumbs up on your comment! PRIMUS SUCKS!

[opinionhead444]

Is he encouraging endorsements for orphanages for the abandoned knuckle children of the world or what?

:)

[Butterflies555]

The ENTIRE point of the song, the main point, is "It's nice/fine, so nice/fine, to be.."

Lol.

[JuSTIn13666]

PRIMUS SUCKS!!

:D

[TyrantVideosInc]

It took me forever to figure out that saying PRIMUS SUCKS was a positive fan based thing.

I used to start shit with people for saying that but,....I GET IT NOW! Awesome!

[FuckY0utube72]

Im a vegetarian and this song kicks ass. I don't think the lyrics on songs by primus are meant to be interpreted.

[ziegeo]

haha im sorry im not like that

[TMVGee]

Reading all of the comments, I can see why Les Claypool regrets saying the words "we are primus and we suck!"

[uofacats97]

best primus song

[wolfchick11]

this like me fav song of theirs! of course they have a lotta really good songs sooo.... lol :D

also primus sucks was one of their slogan things... i believe... im not really sure lol

[goblinsecret]

PRIMUS SUCKS!!!!!

[GaggingFish]

primus sucks

[allouttangst666]

I just realized... I might be the world's only vegan primus fan.

[noyzone01]

LOL, your irony is incredibly thick, funny shit man.

[starbrightshadows]

No you're not. I'm vegan too, and I LOVE Primus.

Primus Sucks!!!

[noyzone01]

aww, i meant no disrespect to ya...hell, so's my boss who is also a primus fan. I'm one to talk - smoking a few chickens as I type...lol

[rkbassist]

les claypool is my hero :p

[Trikstark]

PRIMUS SUCKS! WOOHOO!

[drumteen]

[OliverAB]

BTW, Trgodor, if you ment PRimus sucks as in Primus sucks, then thats ok.
