The more Primus you hear in your life, the better

Les Claypool is a legend. Check out "My Name is Mud" or "Jerry was a Race Car Driver". Their live performances are epic.

“Toys go winding down” “Too many puppies” both slap.

"shake hands with beef" was a phrase Les Claypool's mostly vegetarian friend used to describe his occasional meat consumption.

You need to listen to Primus -Tommy the cat it really show his bass skills

les claypool is a wickedly talented bassist

Yes! More PRIMUS please!!!

MORE PRIMUS!!

Yay! I'm here for more Primus, they're weird AF but always fun

Claypool us a hoot and great bassist. Good buddies with Tool. Primus just played live with Maynard James Keenan celebrating 60th birthday of MJK.

Mugnify, Primus are The Residents.

Southbound pachyderm

Hey this is my homies I wish I would have saw this live My Name Is Mud Harry Was a Race Car Driver would have been good

Primuseth sucketh👊🏽⚡️One of the funnest bands ever. Gotta check out the song, ‘Tommy the cat’ live. {Bass omnipresence.}

Preemus rawks.

I named my son after Les Claypool, he's a master. Any Primus is a banger, you can't go wrong.

After watching this, I really have to question what family cook-outs were like at the Claypool residence.

Check out more! You’ll love it.

You should react to Primus performing "Tommy The Cat" live at Bonnaroo 2011. It. Is. Awesome!

These drums...oufff

Claypool is the GoaT. Check out his side projects. Duo de Twang, Oysterhead, Frog Brigade, Colonel Claypool's Bucket of Bernie's Brains, Fancy Band, Bastard Jazz... might still be missing a couple.

Les Claypool is a bass god...and he is funny. Primus rocks! They do have better tracks and Les has multiple side projects.

The bass on My Name is Mud, is legendary, also side note, Yelawolf did a remix to My Name is Mud, really good remix

Mr. krinkle is fire, and so is Tommy, the cat

Wynona has a big brown beaver is a cool song you should check out along with my name is mud

Check out Lacquerhead by Primus next!

Top ten bassist of the world

I can definately hear " I love rock n roll"

Other bass players visit planet funk, Les Claypool lives there

I just looked down the list I missed all kinds of stuff I'm not getting notified

highlight "shake hands with beef", right click, search web - released 1997

Primus is a quirky trio w/ the bass being the lead instrument in the music, courtesy of bassist/ vocalist Les Claypool (who composed and performed the 'South Park' theme) ... Claypool had formed Primus in the mid-80's in California and recorded an oddball demo tape titled 'Sausage'... However, Primus was as weird a band as they could be... and they didn't fit in the scene at the time, between the 80's 'hair' bands and the thrash metal bands... When Primus played the clubs, patrons would become irate and start chanting, "Primus sucks!" That became the band's calling card... 😂 By 1989, Primus was comprised of Claypool, guitarist Larry LaLonde and drummer Tim 'Herb' Alexander... and no record label would sign them... The band decided to record a live set of their songs and released the tapes independently as their debut album - 'Suck on this'. An indie label opted to fund a Primus studio album and the band released 'Frizzle Fry' in 1990 before they signed to Interscope Records in 1991... Their next album 'Sailing the seas of cheese' in 1991 got an unexpected boost from MTV and the growing 'alternative rock' scene... Primus had their videos for Tommy the cat'... and 'Jerry was a race car driver' on cable TV and the record would sell gold in the US. Primus scored a bigger record in 1993 - 'Pork soda'... MTV again promoted their videos for - 'My name is Mud' ... 'DMV' ... 'Mr. Krinkle'... Their 1995 album 'Tales from the punch bowl'... yielded their biggest MTV single - "Winona's big brown beaver". Unfortunately, a weary Tim Alexander left the band in 1996... he was replaced by drummer Brian 'Brain' Mantia. 2 subsequent Primus albums failed to generate record sales... 'The Brown album' (1997) had the singles - 'Shake hands with beef'... 'Over the falls'... 'Anti Pop' (1999) had the single 'Lacquer head'... Drummer Brain left Primus in 2000 and the band went on hiatus. In 2003, Primus reunited w/ drummer Tim Alexander to tour again (Les Claypool kept busy with other projects like Oysterhead, Frog Brigade, Bucket of Bernie Brains, etc.) until 2006. Primus finally released a new album 'Green naugahyde' in 2011 w/ Jay Lane on drums (who was the original Primus drummer)... and were on tour until 2013. In 2014, Primus announced the album 'Primus & the Chocolate factory'... as a tribute to the 'Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory' movie (Tim Alexander was on drums again) and followed up w/ a new album 'The desaturating seven' in 2017. Primus has been actively touring in 2024.

Bassists that are also lead singers are a rare thing. Try Morphine, Floater, or Rush, depending on what you're into. :)

The song is about a friend of his who is a vegetarian that occasionally eats meat meaning shaking hands with beef

DMV and the entire Pork Soda album is underrated imo

"Wynonna's big brown beaver" but the best is "Mr Krinkle"

Songs about eatin' amminals. Or factory farming. 🤷‍♂️ '97

The drummer has John Bonham wired.

he has worked with Bootsy Collins a lot.

I've seen Les claypoo,Stu hamm and many more great Bass players. I would put them as number one and number two and then Flea after that I've seen him too. You like good bass players check out Jaco pastorius he created jazz fusion bass.

Primus SUCKS! I think it was '94 the first time I was introduced to these guys and I've loved them ever since. Les is an absolute cartoon character come to life. This is one of the few tracks from them that I can almost play.

Tripping on acid and watching these dudes with a trip you need to look at Red Hot Chili Peppers Sir Psycho Sexy I know everybody wants you to listen to something❤

such a good bassist metallica even turned him down for their musical style as he had more potential than what metallica used bass for

This is who em was talking about...probably just cuz they are different

I think all the best rock music is bass-driven, maybe even all the best music. It’s a more interesting instrument than guitar.

Too many people suggesting My Name is Mud. While a very well known song, it's technically one of Primus worst songs. What I mean by that, it's literally not very technical or complicated. This song also does very little to showcase their actual talent. Basically every album is good. Their older stuff would probably be better to start off on. Seas of Cheese, Frizzle Fry, Tales from the Punchbowl, Porksoda, Antipop. This song is from the Brown Album, which has a lot of bangers on it, but it's also not their much more talented OG drummer. These three don't take themselves too seriously, but they are three of the most talented and creative musicians on the planet. They've been around since the 80's and have a huge back catalog that is worth listening to. As others have suggested, check out Tommy the Cat. Both the Seas of Cheese version and the Rhinoplasty version. Also, from a lesser known album called Highball with the Devil, listen to The Awakening. He didn't write it, but it's a joy to listen to him play. It really showcases his talent.

Primus is BA

Their entire catalog is led by the bass. That’s the whole thing about Primus. They Suck!
