UPDATE: I'm happy to report that Jilly has completed rehab and has had a steady job in retail for almost 6 months. She even gets to see her kids on weekends again. We're all pullin for ya Jilly!
Herb the best one tho… all the others were better suited for Claypools other bands, but Herb is perfect for primus. Jay in frog brigade, brain in c2b3 and herb in primus… tbh I like Jay lane as a better more than Herb but his drumming in his primus albums is so mediocre compared to Herb
never really listened to Primus before, never took them seriously. Now I see that I missed a lot. This was one of the greatest songs I have ever heard.
Imma black metaller and I approve of this message. Fan since going into a record store and buying a cassette copy of "Suck On This" in '89 not long after its release on a whim as I had read (in Thrasher Mag, as I recall) Larry LaLonde (ex-Possessed guitarist) and Les Claypool (who produced Suicidal Tendencies "Join The Army") were in the band. It was certainly a much different animal than Possessed, the originators of the term "Death Metal". Member record stores, print magazines, & cassettes? Member berries... 😅
I'm 70 yrs. old very soon so every time is sorta the 1st time for me anyway. Am I a lucky effer or what?! No need to answer, my shrink never does either.
I used to like Primus back in the day . Stopped listening for a while . Now realize they are like wine . I like them even more the second time around !! These guys have alot of talent !
Primus was the Funkadelic Tool before there was Tool. Tool is like the result of a reflection of a trip. Primus is like you never came down and are stuck in Neverland.
“And she took a junkie lover” that’s literally the tale as old as time. I went through it, some of the greats went through it. A lot of times it starts with a charming junkie and suddenly your life is gone and you’re being abused but you’re so out of it by that point that you take the abuse because you don’t want to be left alone in the state the person put you in.
Same goes with a good recipe, the silent victory knowing peopleare enjoying it speaks volumes,if you see no cameras orphones out at the show then hopefully,or wishfully everyone is enjoying the experience, props to everyone who felt the need to enjoy the show rather than film itfor the cheap fuckers who didn't buy aticket lol XD
@@Raysmobileonsite i've said it before, I'll say it again now.... Primus can go dark like few can. They can have largely nonsense, inconsequential lyrics, and still put off that dark vibe better than most anybody. Probably more convincing because of the lyrics, really. I dunno if its just to show off their capabilities, in regards to the darkness, or......... I dunno.
90's Les Claypool looks like a boy who is very much into crystal meth. 2010's Les Claypool looks like the crooked eccentric who tricked 90's Les into doing crystal meth by telling him it is fairy dust.
@@davidstockenreitner2893 nothing funny about suggesting someone taking drugs. So the only thing comic about your comment is the person who made it .a sad clown.
Les is amazing, let's not forget that he needs just as brilliant musicians to play with, primus have (as a band) and always been top grade musicians in their own right, regardless of what drummer is on what album, they are all equally talented dudes.
@@marysanders6663 I first got into Primus whenever it was they wrote the South Park theme, and many many years later (decades even) I am back into them again. Timeless vibe.
Jilly's prepared to shake things up and pick paths that'll make her future gleam like a disco ball! She's ready to ditch her comfort zone and put on her dancing shoes for a fun-filled journey ahead!
Saw them for the first time a week ago and my ears have been awake. For the first time in 25 years. I have been a huge electro fan all my life. What have I been missing!!!! I am absolutely stunned. And I will never come back from.my trip last week. They are absolutely deliciously insane.
Les is a legend! I saw this man at Lollapalooza '93 in Phoenix. In August. It was 120 in the shade and this man is rocking the pig suit and not skipping a beat for an hourlong set in front of thousands of sweaty teenagers. He defies the laws of tradition.
Every time I see Primus I cant help but compare them to Rush. A 3 piece band with a multitalented bassist/vocalist as the heart and soul of the band, a fantastic drummer, and a criminally underrated guitarist. Not to mention they both show just how big of a sound you can get with just 3 members, its truly impressive. Rush and Primus are in completely different categories across the board but both deserve to be remembered in the future in the same way we look back on Mozart and Bach
2:10 - the mood that the bassline puts me in is hypnotizing. I find myself listening to this song 3 or 4 times in a row.....and because Jay Lane freakin kills it. But I digress...the bassline is godly; love the guitar texture as well.
I'm an old man. I played guitar in old loud bar bands for a long time. Somehow, by the grace of God, I missed the drugs altogether. I saw up close though, what it did to people. This song, is a dark, brilliantly played, reminder to people of what can happen. You get on that mess, you're OWNED. Say no to drugs. Say yes to Jesus.
When I was young.. I heard Fizzle fry at a party.. The next day I went out and bought three Primus albums at Tower Records... Been my favorite band ever since.
Primus are amongst the greatest talented musicians that ever created music, period. Up there with Floyd, And Tool but in their own way. I don’t know how they continue to do it so damn well after 35+ years. It’s a lot of tough work to be continually creative and good. All 3 of them are brilliant!
You reference Tool in the same paragraph as Primus? To paraphrase Jay-Z: I feel bad for you, son.... I got 99 problems but listening to Tool ain't one.
One thing you can say about Primus is that you always know them from the beginning of any of their songs because there's nobody that sounds anything like them.
I was up front at this concert. One of the best concerts of my life. During Jerry Was A Racecar Driver, they had the air force para-surf in with lights all over them. The sky was pitch black and all you could see was the flashing lights everywhere. Amazing experience. Lez came out with this creepy bear mask on and also everyone at Bonnaroo was going around singing Jilly's on smack all night long. They were one of the tightest bands I've ever seen live. Everything was spot on.
Fell asleep with some tabs on my tongue waiting for them to kick, and woke up to this video on auto play... my word was that a great start to the night.
Les Claypool is one of the most equally innovative and talented people you'll ever see, and in both categories he's far beyond almost anyone else alive.
Such a sick opening drum fill and solid playing right through. Les overshadows the others as he's the character in primus but the others are awesome musicians. Recognise!
I loved this, totally new to me..... that cello like instrument was fab, player was so clever! as an interested oldie (71) I am loving this intro to lots of so much different music....
The singer, Les Claypool, created that instrument (called a Whamola. Check out his song called "Whamola", on the Purple Onion album, for a proper schooling on the subject).
I thought QOTSA were cool. I’ve only just discovered Primus and I can put them on the same pedestal I’ve had QOTSA on for the past 20 years. But they suck and they’re weird. I’ve heard…. 😊
Jane loved this ,she help people on smack ..one thing about her she saved lives many ..on the knews about ,drugs what they do she gave & gave enthough she was in increasing pain...they called her hugs ...my Honest truth...I should of left ,had no where to go c- 19 lock down...we both love and tried to help each other too much ...my heart goes out to those who lost love ,brother, sister ,mother ,friends ,lovers
Playing a big ol’ electric double bass with a bow and doing it with such finesse. Everyone who is recorded with some kind of music is called an “artist” these days. Some tool talking to a beat with auto tune is called an “artist”, but Les Claypool is truly an artist. And calling some pop phenomenon, performing monkey/dancing bear an artist is just a spit in the face to anyone, like Claypool who has devoted their life and thought and practice and creativity to music as a true art form.
Absolute banger performance. Something about their songs is how it feels like, even with a few words for the lyrics, that you're getting a peek into an entire narrative, a whole scene from a world that starts and stops with the music. You know you've found your favorite jam when it gets your imagination going without even trying. Like damn is my girl Jilly doing okay after all that?
Top 5 shows I've ever seen live. This was absolutely insane. There were parachute people and flying mini lights dropping ice breakers gum from a helicopter
Magical experience. Guitarist worked his ass off on this one. Lots of memory mastery on that board & constant cycling between them. The lead in on drums @6:17is disgustingly good - as is 2:55. Tight like my wife. Excellent high hat mutes. The drum silence before that fill crushes that last verse. Need not mention the legend himself.
This band really is as good as Rush. They just are travelling a different path. Excellent musicians...each damned one of them...and so underrated. Jerry Was A Race Car Driver and My Name is Mud...BRILLIANT!
