Bass is pronounced as base, brother! I made that mistake when I was young and was promptly corrected on it, lol. Just thought I'd share. Primus is a great band. Les definitely inspired a love in the bass guitar for me. One Better is one of my favorite songs they play. They have a cartoon music video made for it that's pretty wild. Check it out sometime!

I actually use Mr. Krinkle as a litmus test. Generally speaking, if you like Mr. Krinkle, you will likely appreciate a fair bit of their catalog.

Dude. 23 years later and there is STILL no band that sounds like Primus. They are so unique.

The bassist Les Claypool is immensely talented! As is Larry Lalonde, the guitarist, and Tim Alexander, the drummer. Thanks for sharing your Primus experience with us all.

That bass line is so addictive - it'll be stuck in your head for days now. (That's a good thing.)

This takes me right back to the early 90s. So many good Primus memories from that time. 🤘🤘

Les Claypool is amazing in his own unique way. And amazing live

Fun facts: Les auditioned to be the bassist for Metallica; in 2020, before COVID, he was on tour covering Rush's entire Farewell to Kings album; and, yes, this video is all one take. A truly unique talent

Primus classics - 'DMV'... 'American life'... 'To defy the laws of tradition'... 'Bob'... 'Shake hands with beef'... 'Lacquer head'... 'Sergeant Baker' 🔥🔥🤘🤘

They're incredible live. Les NEVER disappoints.

Great song! Video was done in one take, no edits

fun fact: Primus is the only band on iTunes that's it's own genre. So it's band: Primus. Song: Mr. Krinkle. Genre: Primus.

"this song has a more conventional sound" whoever said that got you😂

This is pure Primus. One of my favorite reactions I’ve had is playing music at work and this some come up. “What Is that!?” Than having a 10 min conversation of “What a Primus” is.

This video was shot in ONE take. Think about how crazy that is. The entire circus just did their thing flawlessly.

2:43 That's no smog, that's the fire extinguisher they used on the dude that walked by while on fire a few seconds before. It's well timed with the bass draw.

i bought sailing on the seas of cheese the day it came out,then seeing "jerry was a race car driver" on headbangers ball or mtv2.loved seeing bands like primus and whale on mtv2 thinking "what the fuck are these but i love it" what a time to be alive

never watched the video before, but it's somehow pretty close to what I imagined growing up listening to this song

Les Claypool is the bassist. There is a mocumentary similar to Spinal Tap called "Electric Apricot and the Quest for Festeroo" where he plays a super obsessive drummer in a funk jam band. There are also several other famous musicians in it. Wonderful and hilarious movie for anyone interested!

This is also one of my favorites....along with Laquerhead and South bound Pacyderm

Less bowing a base makes this one of the coolest and most unique songs. The one take circus act is also a trip to watch.

One of the best things about being an 80s teen was getting to see Primus live when they were still young.

My memories of Primus are still my favorite ever. All the bay area funk bands really. And now I appreciate them even more when i want to weird out my younger family members. Glad you joined us in liking Primus Polo.

Love your reactions.. Primus is just one of those bands that's hard to hate on.. they are authentic in the weirdness and just like you said in such a good way!

This was the first song I ever heard from these guys. It's 2 a.m., I just got home from a bar, I'm inebriated to say the least. I sit down with a few pieces of pizza that I ordered earlier in the day, I turned on the TV, flipped it to MTV, ..... and I'm met with a dude in a pig's head singing mr. Krinkle. I think you could imagine my reaction😳

This was my first time seeing this video too! LOVED IT!

Love primus, its so good, les, larry and tim are just amazing at what they do, and live is just insane

I’ve seen them live 3 times, they played this two of those times. It’s so good

You can't go wrong with Primus. Always enjoy your videos 👍

I've been hoping someone would recommend Mr. Krinkle! Love this song and video. Thanks Polo!

For me this is my favorite one shot video. Classic. 🐽 🐟 🎸

You are the first reaction KZfaq creator I’ve ever subscribed to I’ve been on KZfaq a long time and I’ve seen a lot of reactions from a lot of people. I love your breakdown of the music and the videos that come with them I’m glad you’re getting into metal music. keep it up I’m interested in seeing you find more metal bands you enjoy. P.S. I would highly recommend listening to a band called gojira

The craziest part of this entire thing is that primus did all of this music video in ONE TAKE! straight through! I dont think people appreciate how hard that is to do. Zero cuts and zero room for mistake. Primus is top tier for sure

"Thats Herb! Herb the geniuson drummer"!

Poloooooooooo! Glad you're digging some Primus. The name you're looking for is Les Claypool. One of the greatest bass players to touch the strings. Look him up. Came close to being the bass player for Metallica back in the day. Went on to form Primus and has done several side projects which are all worth listening to. Here are a few song suggestions for you when you get a minute: Frizzle Fry, Harold of the Rocks, Pudding Time, Is it Luck, Puddin' Taine, The Antipop, Ballad of Bodacious, Hendershot, Long in the Tooth, and many others. Enjoy the ride man!

I've seen this played live many times over the years, & every time, it's awesome! The crowd always goes nuts.

Just dropped $1K for front row center for my first Primus show. I know you feel it! Can’t wait! Good job man.

Les Claypool is beyond talented. I’ve seen him in concert a few times and he leaves my jaw on the floor every time. I love their version of Devil went down to Georgia. You should checkout Buckethead

I love that you appreciate Primus. They are my favorite band and I love when they get the appreciation they deserve.

Lee Van Cleef is a banger. From the last Primus LP that wasn't a concept album or cover. The entire album is probably front to back the funkiest shit they have.

"The greatest type of weird there is" Spot-on. So cool to watch your reactions to good, challenging music. You've got an open mind and a real appreciation for creativity brother. Respect.

I was born in the same city as Les was, Parkersburg WV

This is the first song (and video) from Primus that I ever heard (and saw, 🤣). I will never forget it. I was up late watching MTV at my grandparent's house writing down the names of cool bands that popped up with the after hours videos, when the pop videos faded out. I was so blown away! I couldn't take my eyes off it. It was like, "What am I watching here?" They were so far outside the norm that I was enamored - and have been ever since.

Lov3 them. Greatest video ever Mr krinkel

More conventional? Ummm...surrrre. How about simply great! Edit: Les Claypool is the madman on the bass and vocals.

My girl never liked Primus until I took her to go see them live at the Oakdale Theater in Connecticut. Being a concert junkie she agreed to give them a chance. We were on the edge of the pit all night so she could get close to the action without getting hurt. I’ve been a fan since around 1990 and though I love their albums it’s their live show that never fails to be phenomenal. They killed it and she got to elbow a few people who got too close. Lol. She’s become a huge fan. Les is known to have a ton of side projects, too. Colonel Claypool’s Bucket of Bernie Brains is worth checking out with Buckethead, Bernie Worrell from P Funk, and Bryan “Brain” Mantia who is drummer on a few Primus Albums. He did one album under the name Sausage which is actually the original Primus lineup. Todd Huth on guitar and Jay Lane on drums. I recommend starting with “Riddles are Abound Tonight” on that album. He has a solo project where he plays everything with only a few small guest musicians an a few songs. That album is called “Les Claypool and the Holy Mackerel Presents: Highball With the Devil.” The track “Holy Mackerel” is a good place to start on that album. He has a project called Colonel Les Claypool's Fearless Flying Frog Brigade with a rotating membership of musicians and some interesting instrumentation. They play a lot of festivals and shows and are actually on tour right now. Lastly, Les was a massive fan of Geddy Lee and Rush early on and became friends with them in the 90s. My best friend and his brother saw Primus open for Rush and that’s my biggest missed-concert regret.

Thank you George!

My dude, Primus is a journey, and you just got to the start. Welcome to Les.

Totally underrated song! The video was done in one take, BTW. John the Fisherman, please! Southbound Pachyderm and Camelback Cinema are also great.

"He's my favourite bass player so far" welcome to the club Polo!

FYI…Primus is on tour in the US right now. Have dates through Aug 24th. I’ve looked at the schedule and chances are they’ll be somewhere within driving distance if you live in the US.

I'm glad you like Primus. They got me through some rough stuff in life and to see you react to their music on a Saturday morning... It's made my day

I saw these guys in 2017. It was fantastic. If they come close to you you should go see them. It was a pretty chill crowd.

I came home one night, 16 or 17 years old. 90’s Flipped on the tv while still tripping and this video started. And then I went to see them live on the tour for the album. Been a fan ever since.

That would indeed be a SHOW to see 😁😁

As a drummer my first introduction to primus was the summer of grade 8 on a mushroom high and my buddy who was guitarist played mr kinkle, southbound pachyderm, dmv and jerry was a racedriver on youtube.. my life was changed that very day/night!

Loving seeing you discover some bands I've come to take for granted. I have always lent towards music that challenges the norm, and Primus is definitely that. I reckon you'd probably enjoy Morphine also. Maybe "Honey white", or "Buena". Unusual line-up of instruments and such great grooves.

That was one of their best, it was crazy good when it came out, and it holds up perfectly today!

Love Primus!!! If you ever go to see them live do the best VIP Package. We'll worth the money 💯

This album has several like this , absolute bangers some the best music you'll ever hear

One of my favourite songs from PRIMUS ❤❤❤❤

We should be sending PRIMUS out for the Galaxy!

I've been listening to Primus since the early 90s. I love their quirkiness

The first time I seen this video I went out a purchased everything primus had out at the time everything plus concerts since

"Jill's on Smack "....the live version. It's one of my favorites.

As a kid I spent the night at my aunt and uncles and me and my cousin saw this on mtv and loved it so much. My dad came to pick me up and me and my cousin were just singing “Mr Krinkle” like from the break part and my dad was like “what is wrong with you kids?” Lol and then later that night he happened to catch the video and he was like “this is f*ckn awesome.” It blew him away too!

It's strange. But I do like it ❤ going on 3 months very little sleep 😢 since Ron passed away.43 years together ❤ don't know what to do ❤ ✌️ Polo

"This looks like it was all done in one take." Great eye sir, it certainly was!

dude you have to see him live!! he is mind blowing!

This is the Primus that I love so much. Great to see you react to it. Live shows, you know it's going to be crazy when he busts out the Big Bass. Fun fact, his future wife is performing in this video. The band "The Residents" influenced Primus a lot, and this video could have easily been a Residents song. Check out "Moisture" by The Residents. Primus used to play Residents covers live, and pressed a few covers on releases.

Absolutely love your taste 😋 😍

“The greatest kind of weird there is” sums up Primus perfectly

"How can you not like this?!" You're completely correct. I seen them live once in Pittsburgh, PA on their Anti-Pop Tour and it still holds the #1 spot for best band I've seen live.

Mr. Krinkle fits right up there with The Trek. Leaves in awe with the sounds they make!

i got to see Primus open for Tool a few years ago, he wore the pig mask while doing another song he plays the stand up bass on called 'Jilly's on Smack".... fkn phenomenal

The Pork Soda was my introduction to Primus when it was released. I remember how cool it was to know they were touring with Rush and were hugely influenced by them (Rush).

The first time I heard Primus was when I was 13 years old in 1993. I grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area every New Years Primus will have a concert I begged my parents to let me go but they never let me.

Hey polo. I appreciate how you help me see my favorite stuff for the first time again. Especially since I'm not very musically educated. It's nice to hear someone put words to things I'm unable to describe. The Bass in this video makes me want to see your reaction to the 2 man group, 2cellos. Especially their thunderstruck cover.

I really hope you get to see them live. The experience of a Primus show is incredible

I think you'd really like Over the Electric Grapevine by Primus as well as the live version of Tommy the Cat from Bonnaroo 2011!

Saw them in concert in my hometown Worcester Ma. mid 90's Small venue, up close and personal. Phenomenal live show.

Listening to different genres of music really shows intelligence and openness.

Primus opened up for Tool in concert, 2016. And was an amazing show...

Primus is awesome live they put on a great live performance……. This song/ video is why I am a fan of what they do …….

I was at a concert where Primus opened for Tool, and he brought out the Mr. Krinkle mask.

One of my favorite songs by them. That and the air is getting slippery. You should check that one out too. Very creative and awesome. Love the content keep it up

Saw Primus open for Rush around 1992. Awesome show . Saw both bands many times and neither one disappointed .

Keep the Primus coming and keep slappin da bass, mon!

A little trivia about this video: Les Claypool is a big Pink Floyd fan. His pig costume and the businessman on fire are references to the Floyd albums "Animals" and 'Wish You Were Here".

As others have said, this was one take. They had practiced for a couple of days and filmed it. You can see at the end, Les and the others look like they are preparing to do it again. As far as I know, they only shot it that one time.

This is my favorite song by them

7th grade, Walkman, Utah Mormon town, jammin’, girl I had a crush on: “ What are you listening to?”, “Here, check it out”, Listens to THIS song, “Eww weird” 2 days later got my first kiss from said crush😁

I highly recommend going to see Primus live. My older brother used to always play Primus for me when I was younger and I thought it was weird as shit and didn't like it too much. Then he took me to the Desaturating Seven tour. It was one of the greatest experiences of my life. I've loved Primus ever since

Randomly saw them live in Guadalajara Mexico quite a few years ago. Smaller venue. Top ten best shows ever. Teatro Diana was the name of the place. Nice and cozy super perfect for this!

From the Koool Chaos of Claypool's mind or insane Asylum !!! 😵‍💫🤤😄 "Creepy Carney Funhouse" ride where on here !!! 😳😧🥸👍

my favorite primus song and video

Primus was the first concert I went to when I was a senior in high school (1992) at the Greek theater in Berkeley, CA. Them and the Violent Femmes were my favorite bands at the time. And I got to see the Red Hot Chili Peppers at Lalapolooza a couple years later.

If you like unique sounds like this try Morphine saxophone and 2 string bass

Love your appreciation and ❤for the obscure ! Southbound Pakaderm
