Bow down to greatness!

No thanks ... Primus = one of the worst concerts I ever went to.

Primus = one of the greatest concerts I ever attended, on the Anthrax/Public Enemy tour.

I just saw Oceans Twelve this weekend and I heard his bass in the movie, but I do not know what album (if any) it was from.

I liked them in 1992. Also, they kick ass live, I saw them open for Fishbone that year.

lol fail

Fishbone is not a band I would want to share the stage with as I would fear getting my ass blown off that stage.

I've ony had the pleasure of seeing Primus once (couple of years ago @ Bonnaroo), but i've been listening to them since 95, what an amazing band.
now onto Claypool, WOW!
Les is one of the best bass players i've ever seen, the man has such a strong stage presence that you don't want to look away from him. I love all his solo bands (fancy, frogs, his stuff with buckethead) and he always makes it a good show.

Primus has some great stuff (Pork Soda, Punchbowl, Frizzle Fry), but also some shit (Brown Album, Antipop).

Much love to Colonel Claypool's Bucket of Bernie Brains & Oysterhead.

I've been a fan since Sailing the Seas of Cheese. However I didn't buy the Brown album or Antipop. Their last ep "Animals Should Not Try To Act Like People" is really cool. Tim Alexander is back on drums on it.

Fail what? please ... as the other 2 people posted regarding Fishbone, which I did see with Primus, were much better as a live act than Primus - by far - .

As for the 'Thrax show, I have seen them live a few times and had enjoyed them much more live than Primus. Not saying Primus sucked song wise on record - I liked a lot/or some actually, but live? no love from me at all.

Southpark is plenty for me.

I like Primus a lot especially since Les is such a Bass Playing BADASS. I mean he's one of the most talented Bass players in the Biz. HOWEVER, Primus cd's tend to have one or two awesome songs and the rest are mediocre.

I saw Primus live once when they opened for RUSH on the "Hold your Fire" tour. Primus was decent enough.

Even their shitty albums rule.

Lovefest BUMP!

I bought Sailing The Seas Of Cheese after seeing their video for "Jerry Was A Racecar Driver." The guys behind the counter at the music store told me I would like them a lot. They were right! The only other ringing endorsement I have received in making a music purchase was when a gal at Best Buy hugged the CD I purchased for Garbage's self-titled album.

Sailing and Frizzle Fry are great albums and it's nice having the DVD of videos on Animals. Primus sucks!

I love their first three albums, but then after I think Pork Soda I stopped buying. Jerry was A Racecar Driver is one of the best videos. Lovely mosh pit. Great song too.

Obviously, not many in this thread have seen or heard Primus recently... They are THE best live band on the planet at the moment. Go spin the Hallucino-Genetics DVD if you don't believe me.

As for Les... Claypool rules. He's one of the only bass players I know of that has ever influenced a GUITAR player. Think about that one for minute. All of his side projects have some amazing moments as well.

That new Claypool DVD that came out a little back is great too.

I like the Frog Brigade more then Primus myself at least in terms of Live Show's, as Primus was kinda lame when I saw them recently.

I thought "Sailing..." and "Pork Soda" were solid albums, "...Punchbowl" less so. But I will say "Southbound Pachyderm" kicks much ass (esp. that intro).

I saw Primus in Rochester, NY in 97 and thought they were pretty good. A disc I like is Les Claypool's Frog Brigade - Live Frogs, Set 2 where they perform the whole Pink Floyd Animals album. I've read that the set 1 disc is great also, but haven't heard it.

Saw them at their "Final Freak Out" (Y2K) when Incubus and Buckethead opened for them...it rocked, and even Bob Cock made an appearance from Heaven for that show

Then they played a free show at the Fillmore for some music competition...which kicked series ass. The Fillmore is an amazing venue.

Then saw the Hallucino-genetics tour last time around, the venue sucked here in Portland...but they still rocked hard. It was awesome to see Tim pounding the skins, not that Brain did a bad job.

Every time they rocked hard. And I'd see them again.

bump for awesomeness

Barber
Get this mirror cleaned
I'm troubled by the face I see before me
As we shave our nations face
Keep a steady hand
Listen to these words that soon will ring across the land

Wield the Spade
Ready the blade
Sacrifices must be made

There are many fools who dare propose imposing limits on my power
Those ungrateful who've been swayed by
intellectuals in their ivory towers
They will pay for crimes that God and I will not allow
Some before the firing squad and some behind the plow

Wield the spade

Barber
Get this mirror cleaned
I'm troubled by the face I see before me
Be careful not to miss a whisker
Soon I face my people who adore me
As you shave our nations face
Keep a steady hand
Listen to these words that soon will ring across the land

Wield the spade
Ready the blade
Sacrifices must be made

Barber
You've done very well
Much cleaner now the mirror's telling no lies
I know I'm not imagining the telltale glint of death
I see in your eyes
I can't trust you
So I must do something with my knife
It's a shame to lose a damn good barber
But that's life

Wield the spade
Ready the blade
Sacrifices must be made
