Procrastination …

2:46am

2.00 AM haha ando fucked up

3:49 AM

That's what really impresses me about this video and the video for Smashing Pumpkins's "Ava Adore." Neither "Mr. Krinkle" or "Ava Adore" are my favorite songs of either band though.

"March of the Pigs" by Nine Inch Nails (the one where they're playing in the white room) was done in one take.

John Burns >says primus sucks >Plays guitar hero

Michael Benedict now that's a funny joke

Otisnemes they suck hard

fr

I simply go a little nuts. 😈

I prefer to karate chop my throat tbh. Although my doctor told me not to

Do it

I know just what you mean

My dad has always told me the same since I was a toddler and to this day, I believe he saw them live in the early 90’s as well if I’m not mistaken same with Tool

@@juicyjay831 I saw both bands in the early 90’s too. Your father and I are probably around the same age. The first time I saw Primus was at their infamous Woodstock 94 performance. It was a blast. I've seen Primus about 7 or 8 times since then and they always put on a great show. If you get the opportunity to see them, you should go. The first time I saw Tool was in a club shortly after they released Undertow. I saw them again 4 years later, and they were headlining Lollapalooza. In just that short amount of time, they went from playing clubs to playing in front of 20,000 people. It was crazy.

All three are absolute virtuosos. Incredible chemistry in that line up with herb as well.

Zach Hill

super crisp, super precise

I’d probably die thinking that some messed up killer is having a party or something 🤣

Ryan Davis HAHA NO F-ING WAY!!! HaHa!!! I was literally just wondering that for the very first time...and I've seen this video 3000× over all these years!!! Not just that....butt I thought I was the only one too...bananas!!

Starting to feel that way...but good memories none the less

for all we know, someone could have walked into the shoot, and the crew could have decided "screw it, keep rolling"

@@fortheworldsecuritysystems1609 It's a double bass not a cello.

Not the way claypool does it. Its the reason metallica didnt want him. Hes not a background guy. He had too much talent for what metallica wanted, which was basically a studio musician.

Rush I think too.

Any instrument can be a background instrument. Who ever says that the bass is a simple background instrument is retarded and should be slapped in the face

Pedro Viteri As a Bass player for over 30 years, I agree, it's not a simple instrument but it is fun.

Mouse Frizz Johnny Greenwood slaps his guitar all the time

We will never be able to receive more new artists because this is the generation where people will ALWAYS compare the new artists with the past artists, and say that they will never be as good as them

@@violetlunna no it's not, it's allways been like that, and will always be. All generations say the same.

@@violetlunna Zack Hill is a God on the drums. My favorite reaction by another drummer is of Zack.. New artists that are just as artistic exist. They just don't see much play. Look at what sleep party people does.. It's just 1 guy, and it's super artistic or Dan deacon, his stuff is musical art.

The problem most people have today is only listening to mainstream/radio when there are thousands of great talents out there just waiting to be discovered on the internet. They are just too lazy to seek them out and prefer other people telling them how to think and feel about music instead of thinking for themselves. I guess the pressure is on to not be that "weird dude" who has some odd playlist on their phone. Kids these days tend to flock to the Chosen Ones on TV based on some washed up musical "authority" opinion of what's good and bad, and tbh most of it sounds like total dogshit to me. Why don't they let people call in and vote for what they like instead of having 4 judges decide. Rotation is rigged from top to bottom.

But we have taylor swift and Bruno Mars. Is that not enough? Dont be greedy 😂

LMAOOO underrated comment

Maimachosaurus Sauropod sounds pretty accurate.

Darn, so this is how long it would take for this to happen. Better tell Flick.

I hope his burns aren't too bad.

Why does this make so much sense? Last time i had sleep paralysis i was like 12.. wait thats a lie... oh god am i possessed? Is my life a lie?!?!

Larry is a legend. Possessed is recognized as the one of, if not The, first death metal band and he was 16 when he played with them. Check out the band Blind Illusion, and watch the Documentary "Murder in the Front Row".

Larry is fast becoming one of my favorite guitar players. I think he is way under rated.

@@kellyyoung6137 every single primus is a new experience when you focus on Larry instead of Les. He can either be another lead that’s just quieter in the mix or just making sound effects with chords that would hardly be considered music on its own if it wasnt primus

@@Jaxsonn-ph4ey But if you listen he does the same thing over and over on beat so those crazy sounds aren't mistakes. He's got some crazy music bouncing around in his head. Primus is one of the most underrated bands of all time. Can't forget Tim Alexander. Pulled Claypool and Larry together which was an amazing feat.

@@bcain3729 totally! I didnt mean for it to sound like he was just playing random shit. Sometimes the distortion can mask the chords he’s playing. But its really hard to pinpoint his style because he provides so many layers that can either sound like white noise (without focusing on it) or carry the song. Personally on the tweek again is my fav Ler track. Cant agree more that primus is underrated but i like it that way. Its too niche for everyone to enjoy so let the die hards nerd over it:)

Who was playing drums?

@@Power_Press711 I thought it was herb but I honestly could not tell with the light show. Fuck, could have been the ghost of Neil Peart for all I know lol

Lucky bastard!

I've see. Them 5 times and have NEVER SEEN OR HEARD THEM COCK UP A SONG...AMONG THE KINGS OF ROCK....

i saw them play this last night and i swear the bass they had was evil or something because DAMN it sounded so deep and it genuinely sounded like a demon calling out

YEAH

Then they kept the light of his flame going like he was still on fire for a while

Nomex is a wonderful materiel. In the Army, I had coveralls and jackets made of this, but everyone should, Especially kid's PJ's!!!!

Or the chick with her hoohoo on a block of ice.

Thats how our parents got to school

Claypool is completely insane. And a genius.

😂😂😂

Crazier than that guy walking on fire

Hell no way,a genius band.i can't wait to see them.😁

Props to the guy who's LITERALLY ON FUCKING FIRE

Haha. Cwo

😂😂😂🤣🤣🤘

If anything I think this would make the aliens scared of us and destroy us immediately

Hello fellow not soup boi

Tactical Llama. Nah.. the real coool aliens would dig it. 👽✌️🌎

I used to terrify my half sister by showing her this video. I told her that the pig man creeps into bedrooms, grabs kids, and eats them.

If only MTV was still that good

Tops C. Kritz That is so crazy you say that because that is exactly how I discovered this video back in that time!

Head bangers ball!

@@bullballsallday LMAO!! 😂 😂 😂

Pimus truly Sucks ;-)

it's because they suck 🎉

+ThoughtfulThug I find that hard to believe...I swear I watched this song more than once on MTV as a kid and it isnt like I had it on 24/7 or anything...anythings possible I guess tho ;p

+ThoughtfulThug it says "like 6 times" but still not enough though lol

+KSI xKrauss Les says in the commentary of this on the 'Animals' dvd that mtv aired it only a handful of times, but he may have been wrong. Maybe Meng did see it more than that?

i'm not saying he didn't see it more, I was only quoting Wikipedia

+ThoughtfulThug Happy I saw it 2 out of the 6 times it was aired back in the 90s.

And his butt... dont forget his butt.

If he put all his soul in this, what kind of would does this mean have?

I can see that, the band always grove to their own music in the videos . And when he turns his instrument in certain positions it almost looks like he's sawing away at something

I don't think I don't think i speak the same language as everyone else

FULLY intoxicating 🔥🤤😈

Come on Mr Krinkle tell me why

i flip on my tele!

@@Oneaphelion and I watch the waters die

Hello Mr Krinkle! Won't you please tell me whyyyyy

Agreed. 🤙✌

Agreed👌👌✊✊

Anyone who looks at the sheet music for Les' work would realize that lmao

If they don't thery plain old down right jealous...don't care if you like his style or not...he inspired genius haha

I agree

He had two

He was hooven it !!

Double bass

O cara é baixista, lógico que ele iria arrebentar com o contrabaixo.

@@davegreen1915 same thing

Fun fact, it was so weird, MTV played it a grand total of only 7-8 times. The Pig (Les Claypool) was super pissed because of the amount of work they put into shooting a single shot music video.

I blame Headbanger's Ball.... But, that being said, Les Claypool is seriously underappreciated. At the risk of sounding like a hipster, or something, this is damn art, as creepy and weird as you may find it, and he has inspired many a serious bassist in his time.

I saw this in the daytime as a pre-teen on KZfaq and it freaked me out and disturbed me. I can only imagine what unexpectedly seeing it on TV as a young kid at like 2:00 AM would be like.

Me too. I was terrified. I used to wake up and watch TV when I was like 8 or 10. This came on right after watching a freddy movie one night. This pig scared the hell out of me. Freddy had nothing on him. Idk if I ever saw it again til now.

If this video is the object of your childhood nightmares then i think it's safe to say you kids will be just fine. imsaying

@ｋｙｓ TEACH ME MASTERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

I can’t tell of threatening me not to get a strike again or if their celebrating.

Yesssss!

🤔🤔😳😳😂😂👊👺🤔🐑🚫💪💪💩😂😂

According to lacquer head you're correct

😂 best comment

This comment is under appreciated

I think I'm getting the fear man

I saw them open for TOOL in 2016. They played this then, too, I totally know what you're talking about. They opened with those damn blue-collared tweakers and i almost tore my seat out of the floor. They kicked ass, a 3 piece band makes so much sound it's unreal.

Niiiiice!!

Well this is a double bass good cir

Duuuuude must've been pimp

That’s a common effect with strong acoustic instruments. Crazy, innit?

You're not the only one

Youre not the only one. Just discovered Primus a year ago. Omg! I love Primus! I LOVE PRIMUS!!! LOVE 'EM!!! LOVE EM!!!

@@ld1273 wish they would do a tour again. I know they're getting much older but one last huge tour of old primus hits like this, lacquer head, more stuff from early primus. I know claypool is in a band with John Lennon's son now but it's too much of psychedelic slow jams for me. I NEED OLD PRIMUS

Thivvian Sivakumar ...you are NOT ALONE😳😳😳

Mindbending hypnosis

@Rigidity11 • When they're choosing the order to shoot this whole thing in one shot, I'm certain setting someone on fire inside of a building with a ton of combustible stage props and people around needed to go pretty early. Don't get that shot right, you roll 'em around and go again from the top. I'm curious how many times, or takes did they go, to get all that in one shot? They've never failed to amaze me. Primus sucks though

The Bass in Franz Schubert's unfinished symphony is grimy.

Sounds like ever song should have one xD

What about the cello as used by apocalyptica?

It does sound pretty weird for a double bass though. Kinda rubbery, if that makes any sense

@@lred1383 reminds me of flatwounds.

LOL

Abhishek Tarafdar At least it’s a song about something other than love and apathy.

Haha seems a bit strange in here 👀

Alex Hobbs Nothing strange mate. Just hate media music.

Abhishek Tarafdar primo es lo mejor

Yeah, Toyota made great cars.

@@BaccarWozat whoops. Although, I did own a 96 Toyota Avalon that had 320,000 miles on it when I traded it in, so you're not wrong. Damn autocorrect doesn't even know who Primus is.

I'm glad I saw one of them when I was 11, this video made me an instant Primus fan.

Indeed, Primus sucks.

Really? 6? They must have been inundated by “primus sucks” calls whenever they played it.

That not Les, that is Mr.Krinkle!

you'll do well during the zombie apocalypse

THIS DOES NOT DO THE BASS JUSTICE

Yep. It was produced over the three-day Memorial Day weekend of 1993, in an abandoned warehouse in San Francisco. They rehearsed the choreography and set ups for two and a half days and then blew through the filming in a single take.

Ava Adore from smashing pumpkins too

It's also not lost on all of us that the person who wrote this comment wants everyone to know that they are gay and or gay friendly as if that would or is important to anyone at all or will ever be!!! I'm straight but do I have to have a symbol or purposely make it an issue for everyone to know what my sexual preferences? So WHY do homosexuals make it an issue,so everyone and their mother knows who they have sex with!????;!!??? Put the flag a way please pretty pretty please 🙏 I'm sure you pray 🙏💯 so please please 🙏 put the gay flag a way and represent yourself without telling everyone that your gay no1 cares. represent yourself on your own ideas and character and then we'll see how far that gets you maybe that's why you've been running off the gay flag for so long. But in all seriousness I wish you all the best god 🙏😇 bless and I'm sure I'm going to 💯 get a big back lash for this but in all seriousness it's worth it I love you guys muuaah!

Riena Ochoa I honesty hope you step on a nail

@Random Entertainment what's the issue with what I said I'm not a Jesus fanatic I love all people but I just don't understand why everybody needs to know everybody else's sexual preference, I've never felt the need to give everybody else or tell everybody else what my sexual preference was or is! By the way FYI there was a time I was confused and didn't know which way it was going sexually( by the way I'm not saying I'm gay or not) but now for you to tell me that I'm wrong in thinking and feeling the way I think and feel is f'd up, I have no problem with you feeling the way you feel I believe you are entitled to that. But for you to hate me and or accuse me of being some of type of homophobic bigot is the farthest thing from the truth and if anything it makes you the you ignorant jerk the thing is is homosexuals now are becoming the majority and you all are becoming the bigots

Yes!! All of these elements you've mentioned makes it so creepy to watch, but I find myself coming back to this video from time to time to watch it. It's intoxicating.

Pork Soda, Korn, and AIC's Dirt were the 3 albums I listened to almost exclusively at the time.

@@Zothiqueness Both Korn's first... AND Dirt are big for me. During my mid teens and during a time of trauma in my life. They still evoke strange feelings for me.

absolutely

And film it in 1 take

And play an upright bass while wearing a very heavy pig suit. Or walk around playing guitar with a sprained ankle. All in one take.

Justin Bieber: I'm the best singer Les claypool: oh really

I really don't think Billy could add up to Primus... is that Pinocchio lying again... couldn't be something else is sporting wood... bahahaha!!

I get why primus gets hate. It's music that doesn't fit Ina box and makes you think. People who don't like primus probably like easily digestible songs with repetition and a four chord style.

Who hates Primus All 3 members are universally considered masters of their craft & appreciated by all musicians & music fans

@@omegainvestments2345 I know plenty of people that would never listen to this. It's whatever, everyone is entitled to their tastes. I think Boards of Canada produced some of the greatest music ever put to wax, but I can't expect everyone to enjoy that level of consideration and skill, not everyone is looking for active listening music.

Great bass playing by Les Claypool. He is one of my favorites along with Geddy Lee and John Paul Jones!!

Primus Sucks!

What makes them so unique is the combination of styles. They’re like what you’d get from mashing together Rush, Tool, and Frank Zappa.

Familiar with Captain Beefheart? Not the same style but also avant-garde.

I saw Primus open for Rush a thousand years ago.
