Hm primus or other ones like gentle giant, can etc hmm hmm

They’re ok, although I hear about them more than I want since my oldest best friend is friends with Les Claypool.

Used to love them back in the day. Now still like them but the mood rarely strikes. Can? Can is awesome. Though I will say they’re very influenceal to me considering the whole if they’re inspired by this then I’ll check it out. Especialy since Les played on a few songs on a Tom Waits album. Had no idea who Tom Waits was and well all I can say is Tom Waits is freaking awesome.

Primus sucks ps. for those that haven’t followed the band since the beginning, that’s actually a compliment.

@bob I will have to check tom waits out. I like primus but dont listen to them as much anymore. This thread is going to make me pull out some dusty cd’s.

Love a bit of Primus, Fizzle Fry is my fav album

*raises hand* Pork Soda will earn them a place in history as one of the greats. They will stand forever along side Mozart, Beethoven, and others. Even though they suck.

check him out right now. Tom Waits is the man.

Small doses and Primus are very enjoyable. Haven’t explored the other two. Watching Tom Waits in Fishing with John right now. youtube.com/watch?v=gdLyt2EsQ0Q

@bob thanks for the music lead. The videos are pretty cool to watch too. Very unique voice as well as the music. I would have to spend time just listening to the music instead of watching the videos (they can be distracting) to fully appreciate the music.

Tom Waits is a great musician. His early stuff is jazz his later stuff is like old tyme industrial carnival music or something like that. One of a kind and just a great artist.

I’m not a huge fan but I saw them live in 1992, it was an awesome show.

@Bob, there is a cool movie called “Coffee and Cigarettes” Its a string of short bits of a couple people talking over coffee and smoking. Tom Waits pairs with Iggy Pop. The White Stripes pair with each other, and Cate Blanchet pairs with herself.

I like the song blue collar tweakers and all the other classics. You all should check out “Sausage-Recreating” its one of Les’ bands other than primus. And they do a Good cover of Making Plans for Nigel. Wow that’s awesome your friend is friends with claypool I thought I saw him one time but probably just imagining it.

Yeah my buddy plays bass and is super into wine. So he and Les have some common interest. I think they met through one or both of those things. He writes wine blogs and does videos and takes classes and goes on win sojourns and will bore you to tears about it, but I don’t talk to him about snuff http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sPhexnIJfdI

Yeah Jim Jarmusch (hope I got his name right) he’s great. Many great movies he has made. Though in coffee and cigarettes my favorite scene is the last one Wu-Tang and Bill Murray. I can recommend all of his movies. They’re all great.

Bob, on youtube there’s an Italian dubbed version of the wu tang and bill Murray scene it’s pretty funny. I also like to watch Charlie Brown over dubbed in Spanish, that is hilarious

I liked them back when Wynona had a big brown beaver back in the day. Haven’t heard anything of theirs in quite some time. Can’t hear their name without thinking “Wanna see me stick 9 inch nails through each one of my eyelids?” Who can make the connection there?

Yas i listened to eminem in wus 4th n 5th gradeconnect these dots

I love Primates. I can thank their DNA, spliced with alien DNA, for my awareness and lucidity.

@Totrockeneug Watch the part in Shrek where Donkey breaks his neck in French. I almost peed the first time I saw it.

@dogwalla haha that sounds hilarious I’m going to do that tonight

@hamlet hyahaf - small doses AND primus? Was that a psychedelicz reference?

My dear @Totrockeneug, I assure you good Sir that I have little to no recollection of the early '90s. Even if you can positively place me there. B-)

@hamlet yes there was supposedly a lot of acidic stuff coming out of missile silos back then… And dissociatives…

News was just released about a new Primus 3D tour and I’m very excited! They are making a 3D sstop in my town of Billings MT. Here is a link to the tour schedule if anyone is interested http://www.honesttune.com/primus-2013-spring-3d-tour/

Primus is pretty cool from what I’ve heard of them. I play bass so I gotta respect Les Claypool… definitely a legend.

Just thought I’d share a few pics of the concert last night. They sounded amazing. If they come to your town you will not be disappointed. It was a bit comedic listening to entire crown chanting “Primus sucks”

Can and Gentle Giant are a couple of my favorite bands, also Soft Machine, Gong, Caravan, all that stuff. Not a huge fan of Primus though in all honesty.

It is the band Primus’ slogan, meaning that you would say it if you really like primus. they got sick of the slogan after awhile but some people still say it because it’s a great slogan, so if you see someone post a comment on a youtube video of primus and they say primus sucks give them an E-high five.

Primus Sucks

@horus92 same here I just mainly like gentle giant but primus has a few sweet slick treats. Ill check out those other boys you listed they sound interesting

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HqwvNmG651Q Primus- Have a Cigar ( Pink Floyd cover )

Primus sucks man. Camelback Cinema sucks the most.

I love their cover e.p. it introduced me to some great music.

skip to 4:07 for ONE OF the best explosions in music http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9kGhzf5cESU

A dated novelty band that should be brutally executed for raping music. Tiny Tim on bass.

I have only heard a song or two by them and they seem a bit too “fiddlely” for me. Can is an extremely overlooked and Great band and I did not realize that these two bands were likened to each other in any way. Maybe I will have to give Primus a listen then?

Avid primus junkie !!! I am.

i own this album could’ve been great but they get to fruity just when they’re starting to riff the ish outta it…liked him better in faith no more angel dust excellent album. don’t think either are much like primus other than they are different. just my opinion though.

Primus animals cover is the ish!!! o ish, can i say ish on snuffhouse…lmao

Yes I love primus ,pork soda and more recently green naugahyde are in heavy rotation in my car and out walking.good snuff and primus = bliss…I wonder if les claypool indulges in snuff? Hmmm…lol!

Ps my username was supposed to be frizzle fry hehe

Les Claypool in my humble opinion is one of the greats when it comes to playing the bass guitar.

If you watch True Detective, the forth episode has a scene in a bar where Primus is played. The show is set in '95 for the first few episodes, so they naturally played Melvins, Sleep, and KRS-One as well.
