Les Claypool is a genius, Bass-oriented alternative metal band, formed in California in the mid 1980s, three very talented musicians ! good choice, but please try the videos !

Love me some Primus. Can't believe this is your first reaction. Seems most people only react to this song, but I would also recommend Pudding Time, Tommy the Cat, and Harold of the Rocks.

Oysterhead is a band with Claypool and Stewart Copeland (drummer, The Police). "Army's On Ecstacy" is a drum and bass clinic. Trey Anastasio adds some sweet lead guitar.

Les Claypool is a master at the bass and the way he can sing while playing those riffs is crazy. I'd suggest checking out Here Come The Bastards, Mr. Krinkle, Those Damn Blue-Collar Tweekers, DMV, My Name is Mud, or Southbound Pachyderm

Sweet! I've been a die-hard fan since the release of their first studio album, "Frizzle Fry". I was in high school back in the early 1990s and Primus was one of my jams. We used to play several Primus tunes in my band back in the day...so much fun to play. Those were great & fun times. Primus totally deserves the track-by-track album treatment for their catalog (like you did for some of the other bands). They have so many hidden gems throughout their albums along with their great popular tracks.

When this album came out all the rockin freakies where the wife and I are from, NYC, went nuts. I worked at a record distributor and this LP, Frizzle Fry and the rest broke wide open and sold tons of units proving that challenging well played music had fans and an untapped market. Their forebearers were bands like Frank Zappa, Captain Beefheart, the Residents, Minutemen and definitely the Butthole Surfers.

I saw Primus at Red Rocks the night before Rush and they covered La Villa Strangiato. They were in the middle of Southbound Pachiderm and Les' bass dropped off. So Larry and Tim kept it going then Les came back out and just started playing Rush. 2004. ✌️😅

I just think of The Residents. It's uncanny how similar Primus is to them, especially considering Claypool is a huge fan of them. Basically just an imitation of them, which lessens their creative output.

Les Claypool is, of course, a big King Crimson fan - but doing KZfaq reactions to King Crimson is very difficult, as DGM has locked down almost their entire catalog. There are two or three videos out there which DGM doesn't have the rights to, but all are pre-1980s. Be aware that almost any KC will be blocked on KZfaq. The bass line in this song (Jerry Was a Racecar Driver) is directly derivative of Tony Levin's Chapman Stick bass from Elephant Talk, and in a totally respectful form of homage rather than simple rip-off.
