Primus - My Name Is Mud (Live Heineken Open'er Festival 2011) [Pro Shot]

[protonelexe]

man johnny depp is an amazing bassist

[ajmac42]

This sucks so hard! Les, you suck the most!

Class P musicians, man.

[DaDamuse]

@ajmac42 if by "suck" you mean "have more talent in his left nut than you'll ever have wet dreams about" you're right, you're right.

[PappeH]

"Primus Sucks" is an inside joke that Les started himself, not an insult....

[DaDamuse]

@PappeH yeah, had just spent half an hour reading bullshit trolls, lost my temper :)

[PappeH]

All good :) The crowd is actually chanting Primus sucks in the beginning of the video :P

[MultiNurple]

Quit complaining about who's better. Be glad you get to see two of the best bassists to ever play in your lifetime.

[rachellily232]

I have this tshirt that says ''Les your bass is sexy'' Now i know who theyre talking about.Les Claypool great musician all u haters can kiss off.

[damnlazypeople]

[BoundlessTune]

You have to hate Primus, to love them!!!<33

[Ratkill9000]

Okay so some say the band sucks but you have to admit that bass tapping is frickin insane

[nonamebrand0]

@Ratkill9000 "Primus Sucks" is the bands slogan...

[watcheratnight1]

Iemand die deze muziek niet waarderen kan, mag bij mij met zijn blote reet op mijn Primus komen zitten..Zo ook gezegd...:-)

[GordoMisfit138]

This one sounds stranger and creepier than the original,i like it.

Primus sucks!

[rprdoXD]

Primus forever <3

[RockoWolfcoonFTWLOL]

10 people think primus doesnt suck

[Jesseb12ify]

It's funny how everybody thinks primus suck when he is 1 of the best bass players in the world...stfu all you haters

[MrDeadsr]

@Jesseb12ify

Primus sucks is their own slogan.

And Primus is the band not the bassist.

[ep4168]

Primus sucks!

[Callumseven]

[saile12]

@Aureliano0Peachdoor Yeah dude, I almost started drooling.

[Aureliano0Peachdoor]

@saile12

I'm going to New York on may and even tho I'm 99% sure that i won't buy one I'm gonna try to find Mr. Thompson and see if he lets me try out one of his basses xD

[saile12]

@Aureliano0Peachdoor Lucky mother trucker

[Volpys]

primus sux!

[BLover128]

CREEPER!

[disnukka79]

If I wasn't so lazy I'd do a mash up of that bass riff along with the guitar riff from Cult of Personality by Living Color... It matches up perfectly

[131x]

My girlfriend once said Primus sucks...

Now shes my wife.

[damnlazypeople]

@131x primus does suck there bass play/ singer does a shitty version of slap and i can play better

[VirginianHighlander]

@damnlazypeople I doubt that, the cow says the same!

[paininthebass101]

@damnlazypeople Then please, feel free to upload a video of you playing. I would love to see how much "better" you are.

[TheRumgee]

@damnlazypeople so can i, he actually is really sloppy

[endocry]

@131x Hopefully she sucks too :)

[RashRaceway]

@131x Dude....its meant as sarcasm. Back in the late 80's, primus sucks stickers were everywhere

[131x]

@RashRaceway I don't think you got the joke...

[Squirrel96]

33 ee

[07239088]

PRIMUS SUCKS!!!!

[punkfan97]

it sounds like les added some extra effects to some kind of spacier sound it's just amazing how even though they've playing this song for years it's differnt every time

[largerthanlife726]

WAKE MY ASS UP

[Vpmatt]

Primus suck? It's YOU suck, you fucking idiots! Proud to have first seen Primus live in 1993!!!

[SjamesS]

@Vpmatt It looks like it's something the fans say "Primus suck"

[moosikerin]

@Vpmatt It's funny because you're the idiot.

[Vpmatt]

@moosikerin Fraid not mate, every Primus gig I've been too, they say "you suck", not "Primus suck". And I've been to a few.

[moosikerin]

@Vpmatt In every video I've seen of Primus, Les starts with something like "Hey, we're Primus. We've been known to suck." I admit I've never been to one of their gigs, and I don't doubt that they tell the audience they suck, as well. But it's a common fact that Primus suck.

[Rejito]

@Vpmatt uhmm NO, it´s not like u are saying. I´m tired of the slogan "Primus sucks", i know it doesn´t make you a fan to reapeat it and it´s getting old, but NO, Les doesn´t say "you suck" he says perfectly "HI WE ARE PRIMUS AND WE SUCK". It is called sarcasm. And if you know primus and you own all of their records, may be you should listen carefully to the "Suck on this album", it´s actually recorded there. Do a little reaserch.

[Vpmatt]

I'm not talking about what Les says, its the audience. Maybe things have changed in this video from 2011, but when I saw them in 1993 and 1994 the audience was shouting "You suck", not "Primus sucks" like in this video. Do some research yourself, try looking up Primus biography on musician guide dot com which confirms the chant was originally "you suck" and nothing else. And that's the last I can be bothered saying about this topic. Reply if you have enough free time. I'm sure you do.

[shawnpepin]

@Vpmatt The chant is "primus sucks"

[Rejito]

@Vpmatt OK thanks for the info. And yes i do :) :) life´s being great with me right now:):)

[JuntShaker420]

@Vpmatt Look out guys, we have a music expert here. This guy KNOWS how to use wikipedia. How about you fuck off, you prick?

[THEsallback]

@Vpmatt it is actually their motto dude

[TimmyChilders1]

Serj Tankian? When did they kick Les out?

[MrMilfHunter]

Primus sucks!



[barros1711]

I don't like this AT ALL

Dead music -.-

[Quontomleeeep]

@barros1711 Good I'm glad you don't like it means you don't know shit about music or probably anything for that matter so fuck off back to listening to Gaga and leave the real music to those who know !!

"Dead music' What a moron !!

[barros1711]

@Quontomleeeep Real music? HAHA

I like real music buddy. REAL music that's been alive for like 500 years?

Listen some Bach, Albeniz, Verdi, Vivaldi and such. THAT'S real music, not this.

[Quontomleeeep]

@barros1711 Only Confirms my suspicions you have no rational argument other than you don't like a song or band so their music is dead .I

[Quontomleeeep]

@barros1711 Only confirms my suspicions ,you've got no rational argument, other than you don't like what you hear so it's' dead music'. Check the facts before commenting most contemporary music has roots in the blues and/or classical,Baroque idioms .

Bach especially the structure of his works is very close and used in modern music.

Holst, Prokofiev are my favorite composers along with many others .To dismiss any music simple on the grounds that you personally don't like it ,is sad .

[barros1711]

@Quontomleeeep And what's with YOUR arguments?

The moment you offended, you already lost any discussion.

You really didn't understand what I meant by dead music, did you? I meant cold. Understand now?

Good to see that you actually know that what I like is used since its invention, around 400 years ago and so on.

[Quontomleeeep]

@barros1711 My argument is, and I really didn't think I'd need to spell it out but OK . This is anything but Dead music remember your first comment started with "I don't like this at all" ? No expansion just that . You need to listen to the subtleties of a track like this and goes for Primus in general to right it off as 'Dead Music' really shows what a closed mind you have and a fundamental naivety towards music . Nothings as good as the old stuff, LOL . Have a happy life dude ...

[barros1711]

@Quontomleeeep Actually, I like a couple of bands. like Metallica, Alter Bridge, AC/DC.

I'm a student of music myself, and I, critically speaking, don't see much of a great piece here.

I must say I found some brazilian crappy songs (that I don't like) good, when talking critics.

So, yeah... I don't like Primus and I think it sounds like dead and emotionless music (at least this track), ALTHOUGH, the bass line is very good.

Got it now? o.o

[Quontomleeeep]

@barros1711 Funny one band I would describe as having no life and songs with dirge like qualities is Metallica ,never been able to sit through a whole song of theirs, boring always preferred Pantera personally, Not to say I think Metallica aren't talented . AC/DC seen them several times live , in the 70's,80's and in the States love em.

Primus is ultimately a vehicle for Claypool's genius and that's What I mean, you can appreciate his talent ,you don't have to like the material.

[Quontomleeeep]

@barros1711 Also funny cause Metallica tried to recruit Les Claypool but after his audition both parties agreed that it was a mismatch and dropped the idea .

[barros1711]

@Quontomleeeep Also much more funny is that Slash searched everywhere for a good vocalist and ended up calling Myles Kennedy (vocalist for Alter Bridge).

Yeah, as you can see, I also admitted that your bassist has some skills, don't know if you noticed, but I took a critic view at it.

Bottom of line, I'll prefer this over Alter Bridge. You should give it a try listening to "In Loving Memory". THAT is emotion.

Have a nice life.

[mastroplay]

@barros1711 Much more funny is that Slash can't play guitar at all. But I really like Alter Bridge and Myles Kennedy. But, Primus are more of a funny band, like Frank Zappa, for example. Their music completely ignore being sad. They're a party band! Their lyrics are often crazy or stupid. But you can't say that Primus are "dead music" only because you only like crying to Alter Bridge. Primus and Claypool really sucks! You only have to listen how well drums and bass work in the verse together!

[theinfectiondrummer]

@mastroplay Well they do have their sad songs, Bob, Coattails Of a Deadman, Last Salmon Man, Mrs. Blaileen

I think Primus just tries to be "out there" more than anything

and that's all I have to contribute to this conversation

[barros1711]

@mastroplay "Crying to Alter Bridge"? I don't know in which sense you said that, but nevertheless, you suck.

I mean, you probably are a 16 yo, that didn't lost anyone you love, but when you do, try listening to "In Loving Memory" without falling apart.

I listen to all their songs, when I'm happy, angry, sad, no matter how I'm feeling, there's always a song that fits.

If I want crazy lyrics I'll listen to the fuckin Beatles, or stupid lyrics go for Justin Bieber.

[VicenteNewsted]

the bass lin sound like One by Metallica

[flattus01]

Fuckin hell, Les's bass is fucking sick!

[dwightfamily]

hes got sexy hands also

[dwightfamily]

i luv his bass...does anyone know wat brand of 6 string bass he uses i cant find it on the internet anywhere...this is like liquid bass on acid its sooooo amazing

[AokayBand]

@dwightfamily It's a custom handmade Carl Thompson 6 string, wwwDOTctbassesDOTcom/

[dwightfamily]

@AokayBand

i couldnt find it on that page. i was hoping they had a bar to type it in so i could see it n how much it costs...but its for sure.

[sunnyztmoney]

@EyeRing100 amy winehouse is dead dude

[IAMagureX]

[kill38p]

Background in this video at the start sounds like the world is ending with satanic monsters flying everywhere it sounds epic.

[Deathofanenemy]

im just getting into primus more and more :) ive listened to them before but i gave them a second chance :D

[blkcoupequattro]

AHH the LES man... IF you WERE at RUTHIE'S INN in THE mid EIGHTIES you KNEW all THE mainstream UP and COMING artists.... ARTISTS i SAY artist!!! THE bass LINE never GETS old... MEMORIES not SOON forgotten!!!!! SUCK ON THIS

[tomsha12]

[themodernguitarist]

@tomsha12

You aren't a Primus fan.

[Deathofanenemy]

[PrimusSteve]

@Deathofanenemy it just means that they like they band its a complement

[Deathofanenemy]

@PrimusSteve still not following...not joking

[PrimusSteve]

@Deathofanenemy your an idiot but we all get a kick out of the beavus and butthead show...Diddidid

[Deathofanenemy]

@PrimusSteve what gives u the right to call me an idiot..dude what have i done you?

[PrimusSteve]

@Deathofanenemy just joking around dude Primus Sucks is a good thing too

[Deathofanenemy]

@PrimusSteve ok >.>



[timmotjo17]

Goddammit, I can do this bassline for a minute or so, but the entire song... impossible Ò_ó

[Intolerance1221]

@SurbmxTeam This is obviously the first time you've ever heard a Primus song. Everyone knows they suck. Go back to your mainstream pop.

[mcrem32]

Epic gods on stage!

[SurbmxTeam]

if u say primus sucks its cuz u definli u dont know any shit about music, PRIMUS ITS A FUCKING MASTER

[Stainbreak]

@SurbmxTeam No vengas a trollear, sabes bien que esa es la frase de los fans.

[s1moniscool]

@SurbmxTeam You obviously know nothing about Primus.

[ahart117]

@SurbmxTeam Primus has sucked for over 20 years!!!!!

[gitghetto]

@SurbmxTeam ..... primus sucks. you just don't get it. they suck so hard.

[Samaus699]

@SurbmxTeam primus suck

[heavydude9]

@SurbmxTeam  dude its just a shit that the fun says ...we all know that primus its great! but...it sucks!

[elvis316]

someone tell me how shitty a day it was when they shot this, nobody looks happy.

[Quontomleeeep]

@elvis316 Atmosphere suits this song however ,kind of an eerie feel to the whole thing . Primus really kicked ass here, guitar was killer .

[Turbojugend41493]

@elvis316 No, that's just how Poland is all the time. It's like someone took that country into photoshop and just grey scaled it.

[Grillmouth]

@elvis316 no one knows how to dance to primus

[SuperDerrin]

@Grillmouth Les Claypool does XD

[ap1027]

@elvis316 I don't understand how anyone could possible be even remotely sad while watching Primus

[mastroplay]

@elvis316 I would be happy there LOL But I've seen them 5 days before this in Rome!

[spiralbliss]

@elvis316 Well..... Primus does suck.....

[andrewg012]

PRIIIIIMUS SUCKS!!!!!!

[Defauiltio]

Woah, I though Primus disbanded :p

[ThreePieceSuite05]

@Defauiltio I would advise against thinking....It can only do you harm.

[iamELmicha]

I meant Luisheavymetal, but he knows that

[iamELmicha]

Like lucas says,"SUMIRP SKCUS"" LOL, Speakn n Tongues boys and girls..

[iamELmicha]

Primus Bass kicks ass, and so does the Band... Talented MF'ers!! LOL

[TheSnowsbeauty5]

Obviously you have no taste!

[TheSnowsbeauty5]

My favorite of all their songs:)

[luisaheavymetal]

SUMIRP SKCUS!!!!

[lucasheadbang]

primus fucks !!!!!!!

[Fr3derick]

Awesome

Grandma Mary

[ImANegativeCreep13]

hey primus dont suck, primus SUCKS

[MartinD6s]

The views on this video go up by a lot everytime I go back to it, and rightfully so. This is the best version of "My name is Mud" I've heard.

[MitchTenderness]

When did Eric Clapton start fronting Primus?

[MrLosfuegos]

@MitchTenderness Dude that's the Col' Sanders on bass!

[sardhikhaansi]

I'm in love with this man.

[foobee2]

Primoose Sucks!

[coltin5]

the guitarist is fucking awesome, are you kidding?

[packinwood2009]

I understand having a not so great guitarist so the bass gets center stage, but does he really have to be that terrible?

[jakeatollah]

@packinwood2009 He's a good guitarist!

[Wurstbude79]

@packinwood2009 you really don´t understand that kind of music do you ?

[TheRPGguy94]

@packinwood2009 Your really oblivious aren't you.

The guitar isn't supposed to be much other than avant-garde noise.

[pivotybob]

This is some of the best footage of god playing a bass i think ive ever seen!!

[cantierin]

I love this bastard!!!!!

[Dosdas]

I read an article where LC said that his B string was tuned down to A, giving it that extra big "flap".

[Iluvbuckethead1]

I love how he makes his bass sound like foghorns and whales and sea stuff like that

[morgholm]

One of the best bassists ever!

[TheMouzakes]

its allways better live

[WiiGamerof1995]

I'm glad there is a band that realized there are more instruments than just guitar and I'm glad it's one as SUCKy as PRIMUS

[rtharris85]

PRIMUS SUCKS!!!!

[anomosity101]

@rtharris85 yeah!!!!!

[aquaman1227]

@rtharris85 *Primoose suck

[youwillwatch94]

@rtharris85 so does ur mom u anal baby

[WeHaveExplosive]

His Bass playing's so sweet, I'm gettin' chubby!

[dafindam]

I think Primus is a band to be remembered even like 100 years later

[Caucasiontift]

Well I certainly can't relate to this song... or the band, but they're doing their own thing and it doesn't sound like anything I've ever heard, so they're definitely original.

[sandman45lam]

primus sucks ??? why the hell would start a moshpit

[JohnKonorJunior]

@sandman45lam

I see your knowledge about the band image and style is worth about nothing, kind sir. "Primus sucks" is a slogan of a band called Primus, set up to express their distance towards themselves and to show the major ability to make fun of about anything.

[A7XIsMySoul666]

in the begging are they shouting Primus sucks? cause if they are they suck

[Karo2634]

@A7XIsMySoul666 "Primus sucks" it's made by Claypool. Some time ago somebody told him that Primus rules and Les answered: "No, Primus sucks".

[Idave0guitarI]

@Karo2634 it has something to do with "suck on this"

[Idave0guitarI]

@Karo2634 it has something to do with "suck on this"

[PelaoIM666]

HAIL COLONEL SANDERS

[Donnannski]

Someone said I had to listen to this song, but he never mentioned the title. So it was a few hours work of searching, then I found it. I always heard him saying "My babies foot", so it was almost impossible to find it again.
