    Les Claypool is a master at the bass and the way he can sing while playing those riffs is crazy. I'd suggest checking out Here Come The Bastards, Mr. Krinkle, Those Damn Blue-Collar Tweekers, DMV, My Name is Mud, or Southbound Pachyderm

    Sweet! I've been a die-hard fan since the release of their first studio album, "Frizzle Fry". I was in high school back in the early 1990s and Primus was one of my jams. We used to play several Primus tunes in my band back in the day...so much fun to play. Those were great & fun times.
    Primus totally deserves the track-by-track album treatment for their catalog (like you did for some of the other bands). They have so many hidden gems throughout their albums along with their great popular tracks.

      Les Claypool is, of course, a big King Crimson fan - but doing CZcams reactions to King Crimson is very difficult, as DGM has locked down almost their entire catalog. There are two or three videos out there which DGM doesn't have the rights to, but all are pre-1980s. Be aware that almost any KC will be blocked on CZcams.
      The bass line in this song (Jerry Was a Racecar Driver) is directly derivative of Tony Levin's Chapman Stick bass from Elephant Talk, and in a totally respectful form of homage rather than simple rip-off.
