I was at this show. On the same stage, right after Primus, was Lil Wayne. Odd transition of genres. Wayne's fans had camped out all day in the front rows to secure a spot for his show. Then Primus came on. The amount of fear and shock on the faces of Wayne's fans is a sight I will never forget. Most of them got out of the front rows since they were slowly taken over by an ever growing mosh pit. One if the best shows I've ever seen.

The main lick of the song isn't actually that hard. Pretty much every professional bass player can pull it off. it gets hard when he moved back and forth between slapping and strumming chords which is actually his signature move. What works in his favour is his crisp and clear sound and incredible thumb action. He hammers these E and A strings like there was no tomorrow.
