Primus - Mr. Krinkle LIVE

[4dharm]

that guitar part starting @ 00:57 reminds me of the MINUTMEN song "God Bows To Math". look it up, it's on youtube. both songs rule!

[GandhiAndy95]

@MikeMikeyYo PRIMUS MOTHER FUCKER!

[tlsgurl]

My brother showed me the pig music video of this when I was little. Scared the shot outta me!

[YaWantTaters]

Favorite live performance of this song that I have viewed is right here. Both audially and without the zany overdone light show - love this, thank you Gilgamex!

[DrumBum561]

what instrument is les playing

[ThrobnWood]

@DrumBum561 Well it's supposed to be a double bass ( the film clip has a nice chunky one ), but I think this is probably just a more easy-to-handle electric one. That's my unprofessional drummers take on it^_^ That being said, I will neow say- look at Herb everyone! He's the drummer ye need to listen to if ye wanna get the moves. :o

[hansok]

@DrumBum561 an obo

[Brian19451]

Does anybody know what kind of upright bass that is?

[imacrazypyromaniac]

@Brian19451 It's hard to tell but it looks like and electric/acoustic. If you like it check out the BSX Bass Allegro

[monssavmik]

3:00 looks awesome. Nice camera shot.

[MrDETALHE]

SOU FA DE VCS

[TheHawkboy78]

how about that drum kit!!!!!! almost needs its own stage

[Canaveral305]

3:08 : Hahaha, Ler singing lead, that's unusual! I love how he's trying to sound a bit like Les

[nimitzjr1]

"Dude....thanks for posting this kick ass video, it's fuckin' like suckin' on a chocolate covered hog nipple at a demolition derby in my home town of Michigan!!!!!"

[smoky420a]

Mr Krinkle didn't tell 4 people why

[bluecollardollar]

if only he was in the pig suit

[CellpanTV]

I saw them on this tour it was unreal when he took the standing bass out

[NJPJMommaDJ]

Where is this video from?

[rockinroyle]

Jay lane is by far the best live drummer> I've seen herb and brain and I saw Jayski on the last tour they just finished. He's the best one I've seen live yet

[PorkSopa]

Se viene Primus a Santiago de Chileeeeeee!!!

La mansa volaita la guitarra de LaLonde

En Diciembre con este trío de maestros

Common Mr Krinkle

tell me whyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!

[kcutz]

Herb, Larry and Les are Primus. Amazing. Fucking Brilliant.

[bigdaddytorr1]

@kcutz actually Jay is there drummer now (he was the original drummer) he tore it up the other night

[yescharliesurfs]

@kcutz not any more dude, herbs gone.

[kcutz]

@yescharliesurfs I was just saying that this was the line up I thought wrote the best Primus music. Not saying Brain isnt bad ass. I just think Les and Herb were insane together.

[yescharliesurfs]

@kcutz Yeah, me too dude. Now I get you.

[ThrobnWood]

@kcutz I've always said that Les & Herb were made for each other; musically speaking of course. A drummer needs a good bass player to work with & vise versa. The universe works to a rhythm ye see? 'Order & balance are the Law of the Cosmos'. It's what keeps the planets in their cycles, it governs men, worlds, & space, and it gives us Les & Herb in the same time frame. It was no coincidence see? & once the foundation has been formed we receive the apex of the pyramid.. Ler. And Primus is ready.

[BassistBoyTT]

Anybody care to tell me what this is off? I see a version of groundhogs day shot professionally like this with les in the same outfit? Is it of a dvd or something?

I also notice, hes wearing the same outfit on the video for hamburger train live at the new years eve 93/94 gig?

[alexsoxfan]

claypool is everything bass. if it has fat strings he can make it funky. how amazing

[TheAmped1]

fuk herb goes off on the kit, 1 of the best

[20metalhead10]

Is it just me or does the solo to this song give you the goose bumps?

PRIMUS SUCKS

[hez1919]

yay way to cut out half the song

[dalloway89]

hey you know what? this is agreat fucking video

[thekaobe]

les is the most talented american musician.he is amazing bassist and quirky singer.he did the best bass riffs in the history.he can also play many different musical instruments.

PRIMUS SUCKS!

(epic win.)

[OldMusicftw]

@thekaobe Yep he is extremely talented. If only he didn't play in Primus (no offense), Primus is a awesome band but he will never get the recognition he deserves.

[vantage131]

man i love this song!! it sounds really good in a car stereo turned up really loud

[Halo3sniper41306]

FUCKING HEAVY.....SAw Primus play this and the whole stadium went blood red and Les had a pig demon mask on You could feel sweat just coming out of you as if you were in hell watching demons perform and I wasent even high what A show !!!!!!

[kelthanius]

What show is this from? Does anyone know? thanks.

[cancelled0ut]

anyone who says primus sucks i hope dies. because its not funny anymore

[SDChargersForever]

This song is nightmarish and scary.

Awesome.

[LizTart]

Damn! Looks like he's playin one of those new Yamaha 'silent' electric basses! dude totally kicks ass, man!

[jmadams85]

negative.

$25,000 17th century bass. He bought it JUST for the low tone it could prduce.

he smashes it in one of his concerts.

[timkick]

I highly doubt that they could produce upright basses with pickups during the 1600s. Especially basses with tone knobs.

[Ycoadta]

Thank god there are people with magic powers that can install such devices into them. Not trying to be snarky, I am also curious as to what wizardry they must be using.

[Tensen01]

A bass with a body like that is built to be electric. A bass like that in the 1600s would have no resonance at next to no volume, making it useless. Based on the headstock it looks like a custom NS Designs bass, which is a brand he's been known to use... If it's you think a 1600s bass I have a bridge I'd like to sell you...

[Ycoadta]

I don't doubt that either. It's a little on the small, thin side. BUT, the other chap I was responding to seemed to think you could put pickups or knobs on an old bass.

[Ycoadta]

Oops. "seemed to think you could NOT". Damn hell my brain.

[polishpirate123]

its a 6000$ NS design dude

[BdAdtkSS13]

primus sucks

[Fixfix66]

wow

[bookofthoth]

blame it on the fish....

[qubed55]

Wait, so is that a double bass with no body? Does it have pick-ups on body? Anyone know what kind of bass that is?

[CosaNostraDeSantis5]

Electric double bass

[karbetal]

u have to be high to even come up with a bass line like that how fucking cool is this song

[jbf407]

way fucking cool and creative

[dwsabianguy]

Well, he is wearing a shirt striped with the Rasta colors and wrote an entire song about tripping on LSD, so I don't think you'd be too far off.

[kenta2206]

that drum beat at the end when it hits double time just makes the song...so dark and almost like tribal sort of drumming

[longhairwayne]

Claypool,master of all things string bass.

[TruEviLuKki]

true, i agree, he is among the bass gods

[jet1sk8boarder]

Primus is so unique because they are so wierd, and thats what i like about them. They are not like those average rock bands who have no creativity whatsoever There should be more bands like this in my opinion......PRIMUS SUCKS!

[antiochband]

Most of the album is "pig-themed." Genius!

[MikeyA123]

For Any One Who Wishes to Know the Name of this concert is Halucianojenics and u can buy it in stores ! :)

[amplifyd63]

nope. this is animals should not try to act like ppl, or blame it on the fish. i have hallucinogenetics and its not on

[Detestament1]

If you watch the real music video Les is wearing a pig suit, the sound of the bass, really harsh a 'porky' excuse the pun, reminds me of a pig somehow, I think it's genious!

[Marlowann]

Ouch, that bass sounds rough... Too much treble and midsection I think.

[RAZubieta]

Thats how it was meant to sound listen to the CD version its excatly the same.

[imgandhi]

i think it add to the whole sound myself

[DanDanTheBassman]

I'd imagine his bow has black hair. Black hair has a lot of grab, gets a real bright sound out of a bass. He's also using a really percussive technique. In other words, yeah. He's doing it on purpose.

[lexmarks567]

is this concert availble anyware

[zdflip3]

i think on there website they have all of the concerts downloadble but u have to pay

[xfattasticx]

only musicians can truly appreciate primus's greatness this song blows me away and so do the rest of there song and i do agree that tim and brian are even drummers just diffrent

[PhantomAL]

My band just got home from a concert, and we played Krinkle. And the people went NUTS. I mean, Jesus. I didn't know it's such a popular song.

[MEEEEEEEEEEP]

is this from ASNTTALP? an ty for upload

[str84ever]

yes it is.

[ThrobnWood]

Herb is to the drums as Les is to the bass. Speaking as a drummer who's listened to Primus religiously for eleven years I can safely say that Herb is ten times more skilled than Brain. Every drummer must listen to Tim Alexander.

[Schafino]

yes tue. tim alexander is great.

[bassferyou]

Are you serious? Just because Brain believes in more structure in a song doesn't mean he's a bad drummer. We're not all Neal Peart, we all don't play a fill every fourth measure, check out Brain's DVD then say he's not as good as any drummer alive.

[killkenny14]

Well, in my opinion, Tim's just faster and more rythmic, making everyone think he's better. It blends in more with Primus's music. That doesn't mean that he's more skilled than Brain.

[NapalmWeed]

why all the brain hating...come on....brain is a very talented drummer, otherwise primus would have never asked him to join....brain is just as talented as tim...that's my two cents.

[str84ever]

Brain is as talented as Tim. Sure he was ment to have joined after Jay Lane but he couldnt cause he broke his foot. So Tim joined. He gets soo much stick cause Brown album wasn't too great and his kit sounded like crap - which it did.

[julianjools]

this whole song sounds like some badass improv

[redvsbluefanman]

hmm....

[69salamander]

this has got 2 be the best version of this song awesome!

[Poonard]

Mr. Krinkle is so easy and fun as hell to play.

[RancioX]

Grande Les Claypool, ven pronto a Chile...

[mki1]

..oh mierda!!

[Charlie1821]

Brain apparently was actually supposed to be the drummer, but injured his foot so they brought in Herb.

Brain was definitely an exciting drummer to watch.

[trogdorforever]

come one, brain is a very good drummer, don't hate just because he isn't as good a Herb

[RancioX]

Yeah! Suck Primus.

[Jayoint]

yeah mr.krinkle! Herbalicious was best drummer hands down.

[eddiemoon]

FUUUUHH the bass sounds SIIIICK!!!

[joe7775]

its a cello...

[Marlowann]

String bass.

[str84ever]

electric upright bass.

[isocarpful]

well mantia is a good drummer but tim is the destined drummer for primus

[whoseurgranny]

actually jay lane is their original drummer....dipchit

[WhiteSkin]

Tim, Danny, Neil are incredible, Mike Portnoy (sp) is really amazing too. However an unsung hero is Travis Barker, that mother fucker can drum.

[dylanthebassist]

I can't believe you just said that. Travis Barker is not in the same category as Neil and Mike.

[WhiteSkin]

Not in the same category, but one rung down. If you actually knew the man, and knew what and where he studied percussion you would know. He's played with Vai, the Blind Boys of Alabama and Springsteen.

[Donarskjold]

Yeah, those four drummers really do top out my list of best rock drummers. I LOVE Ler's solo work on this track.

[ajmaddix]

he mustve done something to make the god les claypool ask him "why?"

[ajmaddix]

damn i wonder what mr.krinkle did to deserve this lol

[primusville78]

4 drummers enter my mind as most amazing. Tim Herb Alexander, Neil Pert, Danny Carey, Vinny Paul. but of course there are lots more but those 4 take the cake for me

[eargogglez]

from Oakland, California At Henry J Kaiser Auditorium December 31, 1996. oh yeah, and i'm a huge Brain fan!

[Raaaaaaaaage]

man this song is so fucking cool live..

well..

its better when you see it live in person. and you're six rows from the stage and the place has no pit.

[appli3d]

PRIMUS SUCKS!

[Messaaaaaaaa]

This show look TOO awesome. Ler's guitar tone is so evil!

When will Primus come to the UK!?

:(

[fryBASS]

yes, we were all spoiled by tim's talent. then when brain came we were all like wtf?

[goatman357]

Tim's the man...I love how he does the ending!! Les and Ler are great to, but I'm a drummer, so I watch for these things...Tim's a drum god along side Danny Carey!

[lozleigh]

im a bass player and guitarist, and i agree tha Tim and Danny are masters. your comment made me warm inside

[SheedyDoo]

The drumming on this is awesome.

[fryBASS]

wow i wish i was there for this show!

[Antihazard123]

Les Claypool is amazing

[Axewing]

awww hell yeah! Les is the man!

[eyealone]

pRiMuS sUcKs!

[wikkedclown17]

in-fucking-sane. primus=lords of musical mayhem

[SeasofCheeze]

how come the video doesnt load

[Porks]

Yeah hes so quiet, but most songs where it seems like more than one person talking has Ler in it, alexander is only in Sgt. Baker I think...

[SheedyDoo]

It's weird how Ler does the "Mr. Krinkl" chant.

[the101er]

You are a legend XD
