'She came slidin' down the alleyway like butter off a hot biscuit.'
"The aroma, the mean scent was beyond belief"
Legendary lyric right there 🤣
Only Primus lyrics you need to understand are "SAY BABY!!"
Say, beBaaayyyyyyyyyy
Wierd as hell and genius AF
I have never seen anyone play bass like that. It's a joy and a revelation.
wrong..PRIMUS SUCKS!!!!
Primus sucks!
You can’t put Primus in a category. They’re not metal, not rock, not alternative, not industrial, not punk, they just jam away. Les slaps that bass like he owns it.
Funk metal? Some of it? You're right though. I read one reviewer say he slaps that bass likes it owes him money. Haha!
They are their own 'genre'
Primus is their own category. No one ever or will sound like Primus. A Superrband through and through
They're funk metal/experimental rock.
Funk metal
He auditioned for Metallca. They said he was too good!!
Well, too weird...
I think he wanted to jam out some Isley Brothers 😂
El Bruce well he is a fantastic bassist
Knowing how James treated Jason you know he didn’t say he was “too good”. He was more or so criticized for his taste and I’m pretty sure he showed up with a blonde Mohawk, green tennis shoes, mix matched socks, etc. He was Kirks friend in HS and I’m pretty sure James thought the whole thing was a big joke and never called him back.
@@jon-pauldupont5746 *This^*
Hetfield DID say he was too good.. but Les just wanted to jam out to some Isely Bros. So he was there cause Kirt (Hammet) and he run _way_ the fuck back (like highscool, El Sob High) so it was just not their level 🤘😋
Les IS more and Les for Prez.
I ASKED 100 TIMES EVERYBODY< YOUR MY BEST CHANCE here you go
PRIMUS "PUDDING TIME" LIVE JIMMY KIMMEL SHOW
your welcome
YESSSSSSSSSSSSS!
Classic
Les Claypool is one of the best but definitely the most interesting bass player in the world.
Dope song. Dope reaction. Thanks dude!
Glad you're digging Primus! Each one of their albums has a different sound but all sound like Primus. You should check out John the fisherman off Frizzle Fry. That's the album that has most of their og tracks that got them out there. This song is off Sailing the Seas of Cheese from 1991.
Jerry was a race car driver. Lacquer head. Eleven. Sgt Baker. Those damn blue collard tweakers. John the fisherman. Hoinfodaman. Jillys on smack. Groundhogs day. And many more...
Great list. Jerry was a Racecar Driver, of course would be good
You forgot American Life
@@dcosta7716 I ended with "many more"
Shake hands with beef
As someone who most definitely has seen every Primus reaction on TH-cam, this is my new favorite.
You should read the lyrics lol They're brilliant! My favorite quote about Les' playing was "He slaps that thing like it owes him money!" and I can't unhear it lol
I always tell people that Primus is a superband and no one ever believes me
His lyrics are smart, interesting, funny, scary, etc. He builds a universe. Look em up, check em out.
Please react to my name is mud by primus
The best bass player ever
"We're just here for the entertainment" ~SwaggyReacts
"Well I remember as it were a meal ago"
Said Tommy the Cat as he reeled back to clear whatever foreign matter
May have nestled its way into his mighty throat.
Many a fat alley rat had met its demise while staring point blank down
The cavernous barrel of this awesome prowling machine.
Truly a wonder of nature this urban predator.
Tommy the cat had many a story to tell,
But it was a rare occasion such as this that he did.
She came slidin' down the alleyway like butter drippin' off a hot biscuit.
The aroma, the mean scent, was enough to arouse suspicion in even the
Oldest of Tigers that hung around the hot spot in those days.
The sight was beyond belief.
Many a head snapped for double - even triple - takes as this vivacious
Feline made her her way into the delta of the alleyway where the most
Virile of the young tabbys were known to hang out.
They hung in droves. Such a multitude of masculinity could only be
Found in one place...
And that was O'malley's Alley.
The air was thick with cat calls (no pun intended),
But not even a muscle in her neck did twitch as she sauntered up into
The heart of the alleyway.
She knew what she wanted.
She was lookin' for that stud bull, she was looking for that he cat.
And that was me.
Tommy the Cat is my name and I say unto thee...
Say baby do you want to lay down with me
Say baby do you want to lay down by my side
Ah baby do you want to lay down with me
Say baby?...Say baby?
I have always loved the lyrics. The bass kills.
Its our duty, as primus fans, to hit up every reaction video person stream and donate enough to get this band out reacted on.
Ill give you 100 bucks and send you the dvd if you react to the WHOLE "hallucinogenics" concert sir.
😂 I love seeing people discover Primus for the first time. They are an experience.
10:27 His reaction to Les’ bass solo was awesome!
"Fish On"
"American Life "
"Damn Blue-Collar Tweekers"
I remember this concert as if it were a meal ago
Swaggy~Primus is something special, we can't explain it but it is of next level $h!t, seen them twice, Mind blown each time~
I feel like primus often uses it's lyrics like a scat singer they are more important in how they sound than what they actually are. also shake hands with beef is a great funky jam.
he slaps the bass like skat too!
Well I remember it as though it were a meal ago

Dude, primus and rush, please check lyrics. Try john the fisherman from primus, try wrapping your ears around rush 2112 studio. Lyrics are essential. Rock on dude
I know the words by heart but the bass is sick in this one. Tommy the cat is my name! And i say unto thee!
Everybody talks about Les Claypool, and they totally should. But Larry LaLonde is also awesome, and they have been through a few drummers, all of them VERY good. The three of them can play anything. Even country. Well, kinda country. They did cover The Devil Went Down to Georgia (albeit with the original Charlie Daniels fiddle) for a video after all. It's quite good. LaLonde played a banjo instead of his usual guitar.
Primus invented Mumble Rap! 😂😂
American life is another must!
Tom Waits is on the album version of this. I recommend "Hell Broke Luce" by Tom Waits. And if you want crazy, check "Cheepnis" by Frank Zappa (live at the Roxy).
Edit: Typo. Thanks for pointing it out, Night Man.
No this song is way before, And it is called Hell Broke Luce. And there is no ft. Primus or vice versa.
@@nightman4142 Dude, just read my comment again.
I said Waits is on the album version of Tommy the Cat. And he is. I never claimed Tommy was after Luce. I never said Primus is on Luce.
You must have been tired or in a hurry or something.
@@nightman4142 And you are right with Broke. Not Bruce. I have corrected that. I must not have paid enough attention when typing.
Les is the lead. They follow his bass riffs. Keep it Weird fellas!
They have so much great stuff. There's 'My Name Is Mud,' 'Mr. Krinkle,' and their 'Pure Imagination' cover, to name a few!
The isle of shipwreck can only be found, by them what already know where it is. Tommy the Cat can only be understood by those that already know what Les is sayin'.
Watching Les you absolutely get to that point where you just say/think "What the actual fuck did he just physically do to make that noise". That my friend is what makes Primus so fucking awesome!
Primus - Laquerhead (official music video)
It'll set your skull on fire.
Laquerhead knows no in-between...
I see what you did there. :-)
Fun fact: Prior to joining Primus, guitarist Larry LaLonde was in death metal pioneers Possessed
that creazy good info man
Wasn't Les in a similar band?
@@Kevin-dn8qe I'm not sure. I do know he went to high school with Kirk Hammett and also auditioned for Metallica once.
@@Kevin-dn8qe Les played with LaLonde in a band called Blind Illusion before doing Primus. Check out their album The Sane Asylum.
He also was a student of Steve Vai.
Yayyy ! One of my requests ! Thanks Swaggy !!!!!!
If you can find that whole red rocks vid, it's imo the best live vid for Primus.
Yes yes yes! Can’t wait
Jill's on Smack...live version, is another good one that I enjoy.
Either you get Primus, or you don't. I'm glad Swaggy gets it.
That slap still hits hard
Loved the reaction. Les Claypool's style is one of a kind. I mean between his grooves the fills you just can't stop the man.
Les Claypool is an absolute LEGEND!! loved this!!
Been a huge primus fan for decades. Can play this bass riff. Still only know 5% of the lyrics
Les Claymore, living bass legend.
When I said not to focus too much on the weirdness, I didn't mean to completely ignore the lyrics because while they do have some silly songs you shouldn't miss out on what's being said. I'm not sure if you saw that comment or not, but I tried telling you to take in the songs as a whole so don't ignore the lyrics. For example a song like American Life has a funky bassline, which I'm sure is all that some people will focus on, but the lyrics are pretty deep as well and you should know them as you listen. With that said, I think that would be a good song to listen to next just so you don't get the impression that all their songs are weird or silly. Too Many Puppies would be good too for it's message. They have a lot of songs with a message in the lyrics, and you shouldn't miss it.
If there's one big issue I've noticed with a lot of your music reactions, it's that you don't seem to look up lyrics as you listen. it's cool that you try and listen for yourself, but lyrics can be just as important if not more so than the instrumentation and I feel you miss out on too much. So just a friendly tip, try checking out lyrics for the songs as you listen. I'm sure people watching will appreciate it more if you have the lyrics ready so you can follow along, especially die hard fans because they might get angry if you don't know what's being said in a song lol.
Les and the boys will leave you speechless.
Les Claypool is one of the best bass players I know of. FYI - he also wrote the theme for South Park.
Those damn blue collar tweekers... Album version
They are weird as hell and awesome. Check Too Many Puppies!!!
They have plenty of good songs, but that’s maybe my favorite. Also, on a different note, check out the band Maximum the Hormone some time. Songs like Alien or Hungry Pride might be a good starting point
I'm a massive fan of Primus and I don't know why but I just cant get into Too Many Puppies
@@ben99687 To each their own. It gets me pumped in a way few Primus songs do, though I like lot of their songs.
it don't matter what he is saying. it's funny and they are amazing musicians period.
It was pretty cool seeing you get so fired up about this performance. The groove of this song is so crazy. Les Claypool is undeniable on bass, but holy shit does the drummer go off. Why doesn’t anyone else drum like that? It’s also worth noting how confident Les Claypool has to be to deliver such a weird vocal performance with so much conviction and swagger, and how amazing it is to deliver something like that while playing the bass guitar like you invented it.
... Les Claypool covering Animals from Pink Floyd..you watch right now!
Was crushing the song on Cerwin Vega's D15 EE. Plants would move in the house.
you now know primus. welcome! hehe
"Many a fat alley rat met his demise while staring down the cavernous barrel of this awesome prowling machine."
"Truly a wonder of nature this urban predator"...
His bass playing style is called Slap Pop.
Your reaction videos to Primus has me falling over unable to breathe from laughing so hard. I have been a long time Primus fan since around 1990... There's a band before Primus that was even more quirky that didn't get much attention but the one video is by all means watching, it's on youtube, easy to find, Stump-Buffalo... Please do a reaction video to this one, make an old farts day!!!
Any time you can- react to live videos of primus so you can watch them all play. All amazing at their instruments.
Do Groundhog's Day next
Funk metal dude. So many sub genres of metal. This is one of the best for sure.🤘
Best Les Claypool performance iv'e ever watched online is the - Les Claypool One Better at bonaroo.
Seriously cannot recommend it enough!!
Pretty much a live/freestyle jam session during the song and it's extremely entertaining and sounds amazing.
1:09 Les is great. But Geddy Lee and Bootsy Collins are just as good imo.
Best version of Tommy the Cat is off Rhinoplasty album. That one had a wicked drum solo too. You should check out Mr. Krinkle (music video version). Subbing in hopes of more Primus.
Juiciest, smuttiest, most marvelous bass ever!!!
I was at that show.🤖
DAMN BLUE COLLARED TWEEKERS!!
I love you bro, thanks.
Dude check out Les Claypool jamming with Buckethead & Bernie Worrell.... Mean jam sesh...
Subscribing because of Primus!
Was it me or was he only using a 4 string bass in this video, but he used a 6 string on the original recording and video?
you just heard the best bass player in the whole world..in world history...how does this make you feel?Insanity man...he is so good it stupid..you know when metalica lost its bass player he tried out for them,they said noooo...you are too good for us..literally...they wouldnt let him play with him because he was too good.
Lmao... I wasn't gonna comment, but I really appreciate you trying to HEAR what Les is saying instead of just looking it up. I don't know what he's saying either
LOL! Your face during the opening verse...yeah, don’t feel bad. Trust me it’s universal. But NOBODY does the bass like Les! Nobody!
you gotta listen to the studio version to understand the lyrics
10:27 for his reaction to the sextuplet, classic does not compute face, lmao!
I was at this show btw ;)
@@bradb82 lucky
I recommend watching the video, Les sings slower and it makes more sense of the song, would love to see you react to Defy the Laws of Tradition Radio Jam version, it has a younger Les Claypool going hard on the bass, and if you want to see the best collaboration, check out his jams with buckethead
Les is one of a kind ❤
"So he's just gonna start off like that?"
I mean, start as you mean to continue.
Think of it this way, the lyrics aren't meant to be understood or interpreted (usually). Its just another instrument making sounds that add to the groove that make you move wether you want to or not.
Let me tell you bro...I'm a former battle rapper...lyrics are everything to me. Primus is one of the best bands ever because of their chemistry, weirdness, angles and abstract lyrics. It definitely isn't something you'd catch on the first few watches. Research is everything. Always dissect the lyrics to digest the substance and material.
Primus "My Name Is Mud". I definitely want to walk with you on their catalog! th-cam.com/video/953PkxFNiko/w-d-xo.html
The air is getting slippery, on the tweek again, wamola, southbound pachyderm, as the toys go winding down, American life.
Happy u found. Primas
You'd definitely dig his "solo" vids...the collab with Buckethead is NASTY! Les is the epitome of why I try my best to stay the hell away from any "who's best?" or "who's #1" type of things when it comes to music. Such "blanket" statements just don't work when it comes to music. There's simply too many different flavors. That's like asking some people in a bar what the "best" beer in the world is... Sports, music, politics, and religion are surefire things that end up just pissing people off lol...cause you to lose sleep and second-guess yourself for weeks lol. I think most of us would subscribe to the fact that we music fans arguably, are the most "fickle" on earth lol. But, the "Mumble Crap" reference was funny as hell...and, Primus is definitely an acquired taste. Check out the vid for this one. You'll understand it better. You'd probably dig "Those Damn Blue Collar Tweakers," or "Lacquer Head." I'd guess that'd it be more to your liking.
Victor Wooten is the best bass player but Les is up there with the best
Now you understand Primus.
Hey brother, as I said before, I'm not a Patron...but I will be as SOON as either next week or as SOON as I get this next stimulus check that's gonna be on the way soon...lol. But if you gave me the chance to request a reaction, as a DIE HARD Primus fan, I would request you to react to...Primus "Lacquer Head." The official video. The lyrics are pretty clear to hear during the actual song. Primus is amazing!
Lacquer Head for the next one pls. Keep it up bruh 🔥👊🏼
It would have helped if you would have watched the actual video for this my guy. The studio version would definitely be easier to understand. And IMO a better version.
You got to listen to Les claypool's " one better " and please react to it. By the way, I liked and subscribed. Thanks man.
blackalicious and busdriver are my suggestions peace!
Tried to fake em out with the intro to tweekers and then went straight to the verse riff....
i wouldn't say les is the best but he's one of the best
Yooooo why, trust me on this. Listen to korn. Korn is a band from Bakersfield California and has an LA and Bakersfield origin. They’re very good, you’ll like them . Not as much as some bomb Primus.
The lyrics on the studio version are easier to decipher.
The official video is much better than the live version. But Les is the best.
Now you know what real funk is...
Yes Jillys on smack. Same concert
