    For years during the nineties a band buddy of mine would make comments about music, our music, how to play It how to whatever with it always the end of the sentence being “unless you’re Primus”.. I didn’t even check Primus out until really late in their careers but I was aware that he did the Seinfeld stuff.. when I finally discovered the early famous you tube videos at high volume, drunk it was then why I realized that yes… nothing works, anything goes especially if you’re Primus. Too good for Metallica… of course he was. He’s one of two great Lester’s that are Icons.. Claypool and Paul.. two originals to the bone. I love this guy. He’s real and himself.. take him or leave him… I’ll take em
