actually before that, i think before their first show, Les went up on stage and yelled out to the crowd, "we're Primus and we suck," to the crowd. I think that is how the whole thing started
Les's bass sounds like an Alien Tripod from War of the Worlds here. Yikes. I wonder what they spent to create that sound for the movie...and Les is like, "lol, I do that every day, see? WOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRP"
@ScreamForAnExcuse Back in the day the singer/bassist introduced himself at a concert and said "hi we're primus and we suck", so their fans started saying that primus suck...apparently he hates people saying it but people are sheep so they keep doing it.
@ScreamForAnExcuse also if you look at the Tommy the cat video where the cat walks on the street there is a graffiti on the wall that says "Primus sucks"
Actually the jamming is a more complex way of making music 'cause there you don't follow any song you just.... make music from nothing thats why i like more the jamming primus stuff :D
can someone please tell me what this whole "PRIMUS SUCKS!" thing mean? i'm a little lost about it all.. anyways, amazing song, amazing band. its perfect.
Troy One of Primus’s first albums Suck on This is a full recording of a live show. Les says himself “ we’re primus and we suck” that’s where it all began
So what a lot of people are failing to mention on this thread was that the band had a t-shirt you could buy at shows and headshops. The shirt said Prinus Sucks
![Primus - Tragedy's a-Comin' (*NEW SONG*) (Live Heineken Open'er Festival 2011) [Pro Shot]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/xX4HCgqZfqQ/mqdefault.jpg)
They should sell Primus socks. The audience really seems to want those.
As long as I’ve liked these guys,I have to say this is my favourite tune from them.
Ive been listening to this song everyday for two weeks now
got stuck on my brain May 2024
This is my FAVORITE song from Primus !!!

As far as I know this is the best Primus song. Deep, great build up, easy to follow and move to.
Love Primus! Les is definitely a bass God! This live version and the Bonnaroo version are similar but different!

Saw Primus in Vegas this past June. AMAZING!
Glad to see and Hear PRIMUS has got their Mojo Back
Cheers!
Pioneer. Damn, why is modern music not of this caliber.
i LOVE when Jonny Depp plays the full bass .. he is a stud!
Best version of this song. Under viewed!
Love this song, love the whole new album :D
Very refreshing .
I love Ler's guitar line on this.. sickness..
Yes
Primus still as groovy as ever.
who ever started the clap should feel like a hero.PEFRFECT
This is a very nice holiday song.
La perfección echa psicodelia
way to go primus!! never disapointme!!!
AWESOME!
We miss you Tim, but this guy rocks too!
He is the original drummer
@@briandavis2885 right. At that time I thought herb was retired. He's awesome. I'm glad he came back after the thing. Aneurysm?
Omg. Just the best
@dchalf10 haha, i see.. cheers mate. appreciate it.
My name is Jesse and I endorse this song.
@cameronj279 I hear that!
Rob Scallon Why do I keep finding you on Primus videos?
@@alicethemaliceofficial hes a huge fan of primus and les claypool was his influence to play bads
so i guess jillys not coming back next week guys lol
This song is a perfect showcase for other than Larry LaLonde!
turn the bow around and smack the upright bass with the wood. Awesome!
its an electric upright bass
I like this better than the 3m view video because you can see them play their instruments without blinding light.
I would be happy with some nachos and pork flavored soda!
EQOAnostalgia S T E A M Y
I hope you realize that the majority of Harold of the Rocks is jamming, especially live. Which dates back to Suck on This
Cool af
THE BASS!
I know that Les is on bass but could someone tell me who the other musicians are? I love this!
Alex Roberts: Larry "Ler" La Londe on Guitar, Jay Lane, drums.
Primus (les especially) is definitely alien, and gods among humans!
Git Majonez Kętrzynski
Is it jsut me, or does Les look exceptionally old in this performance? Maybe it's just the glasses and hat combo.
How does the fucking guitarists for Primus remember such random notes? Must be a hell of a jazz musician
4:53 favorite part ^^
ssounds like king crimson
Yes
Love the way this has a sort of shoegaze vibe with the post punk.
Shoegaze metal? Funk metal? Whatever you want to call it. Nothing really defines them quite like the moniker "Primus"
Ler is the shit.
so fucking sick
@cameronj279 not a bad song on the album...no fillers....vintige primus....takes me back to the early 90s
@ScreamForAnExcuse Back in the day the singer/bassist introduced himself at a concert and said "hi we're primus and we suck", so their fans started saying that primus suck...apparently he hates people saying it but people are sheep so they keep doing it.
Love this shit
I'm pretty sure that was the point of it
I am in fact. Can you please elaborate?
PRIMUS :-D

C`mom , Primus means Les Claypool and Ler Lalonde plus one of the three following drummers.
Jay Lane
Tim "Herb" Alexander
Brain Mantia
I don't if you're being serious but that shit made me laugh.
who the hell is that drummer
Jay Lane.
Coming from San Francisco I'd say everyone's on something
ludo,ludo,ludooooo
k NiveL !!!
Who's on smack? Jilly is - that's who
damn, there are too many experiments on this album
What is that skinny long instrument called? x
TheSnowsbeauty5 it's an electric upright bass but I don't know any specific names for it but what j wanna know is where to buy one
Does a bass exist Claypool can't play?
+Bastian W One would say, perhaps a Bass fish, but then hey, Les loves fishing.
The answer to this question is Fuck No
tHe_bAd_sEEd / Nope not at all Bro~Ham.......!!!!

Htahnshshb hgdssfab pookjhhjju.

Does Les Claypool look like Johnny Depp or does Johnny Depp look like Les Claypool?

So anyway, this video was banned from MTV because it was "pro-smack"
...who the frig listens to Lacquer Head and - ........ *sigh*
he looks like such a sloppy guitar player but everything comes out clean
the crowds clapping is off a half a step...
Jilly left home for detox
Hey Les! That's not a whamola. I know, it's fun to pretend.
Primus sucks!!!!!
