Correction : Les Claypool is several Universes worth of "Character" rotf including the many versions he play of himself, within any single video or performance lol
My Step-dad's friend is a fishing guide and is also big into playing bass. One day when I was about 17 he came by our house to borrow some of my Step-dad's fishing stuff. That day he was taking out none other than Les Claypool on one of the local lakes. (for those that don't know, Les Claypool is an outdoorsy type, into hunting and fishing and stuff) Well there's Les standing in my driveway, I could not believe what I was seeing. I got him to sign one of my CD's and I asked if I could come. No dice, though it wasn't Les that had a problem with it, it was Dave (the guide). Anyway, if you've ever wondered what he's like, he's pretty much just normal. He wouldn't stand out in a crowd, I'll put it that way.
My guy......Primus at Woodstock '94. "Those damned Blue Collar Tweekers". One of their best live performances and the crowd is absolutely INSANE BALLS.
As a black woman growing up in the south... I grew up listening to these guys... Loved them. Love your reactions.... Especially the ones on RATM... Grew up on them to and still rock out them now
Sorry im late to this party, but I grew up in a little village, yes its still classified as a village lol, in MI and we LOVED Primus in my highschool!!! I feel proud to have grown up listening to Primus and this comment just warms my 💙. The Primus community is still going strong lol! Primus sucks!!!
Another great line is the bit about only drinking the finest wine except he's too broke to buy it. It's like saying sure I'm homeless but if I had a house it would be huge and I would sleep there instead 😂😂
"My name is mud" is a euphemism for being "in trouble" for something. "I broke my mom's vase. Oh man. My name is mud." His name is mud, because he killed a guy with a baseball bat. He has to get him into the ground before he starts decomposing.
It’s a colloquialism from the assassination of Lincoln. The name of the doctor that supposedly helped John Wilkes Booth was a Dr. Mudd. Hence, when you’ve screwed up, you’re name is now Mudd...
I think Les’ lyrics are harmonious with his bass lines. It’s like he is singing what he is playing- like melodic drumming. The lyrics are syncopated. Every phrase is a hook. Really intelligent and complex.
I'm 73 years old now and this song STILL gets me moving! I LOVE that sledgehammer bass! I would LOVE to see them perform this LIVE. This is the first time I've seen the video. That lead singer (can you even CALL him a singer??) is certainly playing the character in this song very well.
Even Les (Les Claypool, singer and bassist) would agree with you that he's not a singer, that's why he says he basically "speaks" all of his songs. Even his dad said he couldn't sing lol. Primus is great (although the catchphrase for any true Primus fan is "Primus Sucks!") I highly suggest Tommy the Cat, the official video and the live at Bonnaroo version, both are great. Les does a lot of solo stuff and is still active so check him out 😊
Not just any body. It's about the guy who buried Abraham Lincoln "Joseph R. Mudd".... hence "6 ft 2 and blue as hell, have to get him into the ground before he starts to smell"
Brian Clapperton the doctor that helped the guy who shot Abraham Lincoln was named mudd. The song isn’t about him. The term “my name is mudd” stems from that doctor and is pretty common
@@11ELeVeNthiRtYFouR34 well I was close lol and officially the doctor that helped john wilkes booth was Samuel Alexander mudd... I blame national treasure for the mixup lol
Headphones are fine but to truly enjoy Primus, you gotta go down to the local Rent-a-Center. Put all the TVs & Stereos on the same channel and crank it.
Man I remember my freshman year of high school starting in drum line and hearing this for the first time. Sitting in the back seat of one of the seniors Ford escort with no backrests. 3 15” Kickers blasting the opening bass line. On our way to Taco Bell to grab some food. Tim became one of my favorite drummers from that point on🤘🤘
and it is worth reading the lyrics I think, Primus used a lot of symbolism within them. For example on the song Too Many Puppies, and how it alludes to young men, pretty much still children, joining armies and killing each other for no real reason other than for the power structure that orchestrates them. Still very much applicable to today
Based on the silly and comedic nature of Primus' delivery many people miss the semi deep philosophical, satirical and observational humor within Les' lyrics
One of the best bands ever, every album is awesome in my opinion, I have them all, seen them six times and will continue to do so as long as they're around
War was once the most beautiful thing a men could had, and they made it into something for simple money, and utilitarian shit. Just mere pieces just following blind orders for empty causes for them, carcasses without spirit offering themselves just with the only promise to maybe return home and have a life full fake comforts told by the new media. Really Fucked up stuff.
You've just stumbled across one of the most unique bands in the world. Every album they do is different. And the sound they come up with just with 3 members is insain.
Dude - my name is mud live woodstock 1994!!!....best version, and "jery was a race car driver".......in fact the whole concert is a blast, that year primus was in full force!!!❤
If your name is mud it means you’ve been disgraced or have no credit. I.e “I used to work at that bar. if you go don’t mention me, my name is mud there” Anyway, it’s the middle of the night and I got here from my recommended. Cool video! I love Primus’ funky bass lines, one of my all time favorites :)
i first saw primus in 88-89 and it was like discovering the beatles. i saw em at the berkeley square on university. at the time it was still a thrash paradise, but they were just SO different we all went nuts when they played a gig. we'd hang out around rainbow records on shattuck and hear that primus was playing, and everybody would drop everything and run to their show. no cell phones, no internet. just flyers handed out, and some posts on poles. it was pretty crazy. they'd play with all kinds of off genre groups. like Schooly D. musta went to like a dozen shows. it was our little gem. i think i was at their show for the demo Suck on This. it wasn't even on tape, just an Album. i bought copies and sent them to friends back east raving about shit they never heard before. next thing i know, they're playing around the world in stadiums. it blew up THAT fast. but i'll always remember 89 when they were still ours. you could run into Les the next day after a show on telegraph, just hanging out, running around. it was amazeballs that we knew they'd HAVE to get big, but i dunno if they knew it. the amazing thing was how well the thrash crowds handled them. at the time, you picked your lane. but bands were already crossing over to appeal to all genres. Jane's Addiction, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Faith No More took that thrash crowd into new alternarock places. broke down a lot of walls like aerosmith/Run DMC had just prior. everything crossing over got huge, where it never really did before.
Primus, Lollapalooza, Grant Park, Chicago, I don't remember the year. They always stretch out the end of Mud 3 or 4 times longer. Hearing that rumble hitting me in the face then bouncing off the buildings in the Loop and coming back to me as they rest on the fourth beat of each bar, was one of my favorite concert experiences ever.
Was fortunate to see them open for Rush. It was awesome to see two bass gods that night 😁 FYI, this video was shot on Neil Young's ranch. Enjoy your reactions! Take care ✌
Damnit! Now this song is going to be stuck in my head all weekend lol My interpretation of it is he went to that bath house, was given a drug that made him freak out and kill his friend. His name is mud means he's in big trouble, he's always been in trouble according to him. My name is Mud Not to be confused with Bill or Jack or Pete or Dennis My name is mud and it's always been 'Cause I'm the most boring sons-a-bitch you've ever seen I dress in blue-yes navy blue From head to toe I'm rather drab except my patent shoes I make 'em shine, well most the time 'Cept today my feet are troddin' on by this friend of mine Six foort two and rude as hell I got to get him in the ground before he starts to smell My name is Mud My name is Mud, But call me Alowishus Devadander Abercrombie That's long for Mud, so I've been told Told that by this sonsabitch that lies before me bloated blue and cold I've got my pride, I drink my wine I'd drink the finest except I haven't earned a dime in several months Or were it years The breath on that fat bastard could bring any man to tears We had our words, a common spat So I kissed him upside the cranium with an aluminum baseball bat My name is Mud
A lot of comments here about "my name is mud" meaning i'm in trouble, actually the saying comes from the 1800's when a politician named Mudd was caught in a scandal that ruined him, after that people started using it as in "if my wife/boss finds out my name is mud" The band Primus and my name is mud came from the stucco trade, Les Claypool was a laborer on a stucco crew, Primus is the name of a synthetic stucco product, when the guys applying the primus to the wall run out they yell at the top of their lungs "MUD", they dont say Les, Randy, Darrel, etc., etc. bring me some more, they yell "MUD", all helpers on a stucco crews are named "MUD", My uncle owns a stucco company, been there, done that, i enjoy watching your reactions, takes me back to when i was first hearing this stuff.
Mudd was the man who mended John Wilkes Booth's leg later that night after he assassinated Lincoln. He went to prison for it, was pardoned I'm 1869 by president Andrew Johnson. But his name was forever shamed. Hence the term "your name is going to be Mudd"
This was one of the strangest Primus songs ever!!!! Off the album Pork Soda!!!! I was at Woodstock 94 when these guys started doing this song. Mud came flying through the air, hitting the band. Check out the video to see what happens!!!!!
I got into these when living in Italy over 20 years ago. Forgot all about them since moving back to the UK ☹️ Thanks for the reminder 👍🏼 They really are out there on there own when it comes to music genres.
Primus - Welcome To This World, DMV, Professor Nutbutter’s House Of Treats and Southbound Pachyderm. All solid tunes with awesome drums and bass...and aren’t too wacky. P.s. Primus sucks...
This song doesn't really show it so much, but Les Claypool is one of the best bassists in the world. Freaking amazing. He can make it sing. Him, Cliff Burton (RIP), Geddy Lee...
I've never seen the music video. I honestly didn't even know primus had music videos. I love their sound, they are so different than anything else I've ever heard. That badd, the drums, the voice, everything isbso amazingly cohesive and incohesive at the same time.
Don’t forget Les has been in a LOT of solo and collaborative gigs. He and Primus are still going strong after 30 years. Tommy the Cat has always been one of my funky favs. Anything from the early days, really.
I'm watching your Primus playlist.. I seen Primus in Indy long ago. Was the sorest I've ever been after a concert, was sore all the next day, could barely move my neck...lol.. oh but it was fun!!!!!
I don't know, he has commented on his appreciation for what FZ did, and he more than likely listened to him growing up, but I haven't found anything that cites him looking to Zappa as an influence on his sound. I DO know that Les has looked to Rush and Geddy lee as an inspiration (at least in terms of bass virtuosity) but I think the weird sound he and Primus creates is all his own. Not to mention, Frank's weirdness is weird, but very put together while Les and Primus are just a bit off kilter. Like, Frank did things that you would go "huh, I didn't think of doing those chords together/those notes together" while Primus/Les claypool just think up controlled insanity in their music.
Jesse Nicoletta Frank invented WTF rock and anybody that has picked up a bass is influenced by the greats like Geddy Lee, Geezer Butler, Rodger Waters, John Entwhistle etc.
Brother if you want to shake your ass a little bit, you should check out another Les Claypool (bass player/singer from Primus) tune, the band is Duo de Twang and the tune is their cover of "Stayin' Alive". its a fun time
I second this. The studio version sounds best but the live in Tahoe version does include two separate explanations from Les about why he didn't get the Metallica gig... ;-)
The Story: Aloysius Devandander Abercrombie aka "Mud" has killed his friend for stepping on his shoes. Now he needs to bury the body before it starts to smell. The man drinking at the end of the video was not poisoned, he was merely enjoying some "Pork Soda" which, not coincidentally, is the name of the album this song came off of.
What gets lost in this song behind Les’s bass is all the extras added into the drum beat. Pay attention to the little double taps of the bass drum and quick cymbals, especially in the second part of the song. Really intricate stuff and it’s a real display of talent.
Jamal.. Your reaction when he 1st spoke -my name is mud- & leaned into the camera, you were laughing so hard ... I started laughing with you & could not stop for about 10min. Much Respect & Love your way Amigo! ✌
Ah,Primus,one my top fave bands,just for the bass playing,love the Primus beat,can hear what ever song a mile away,and say"Hey some ones listening to Primus"
@@MrK-wu7ci, I dont think the song reflects the ways of ed or any particular crime, intension or success in his story, but ok. Maybe, Im been to meticulous about it...
When you said he was playing the character of mud that hit me hard man. I been listening to this since it came out and had many thoughts upon the lyrics and I never put that together the symbolism. Thanks man

Les is a vibe
Fun fact: in iTunes, Primus is its own genre of music.
They better be. Hillbilly funk is the best I can describe them.
That is awesome, thanks for sharing it. 😁👍
@@psychochicken9535 I believe Les has referred to Primus' genre as "Psychedelic Polka".
@@ledchickenfpv7164 I thought Weird Al had that one covered...
@Francis Baxter Nah... Just a rip off of Butthole Surfers...
That baseline though. And "I kissed him up'side his cranium with my aluminum baseball bat"... pure poetry!

My favorite lyrics
Basically the story of Ness in Earthbound
It’s magic
Fun fact: the chewing tobacco was actually shredded beef jerky.
I always heard it was tootsie rolls
Beef jerky is good af

I was wondering why his spit wasn't brown.
Chewin tobacco is better
My guy......Primus at Woodstock '94. "Those damned Blue Collar Tweekers". One of their best live performances and the crowd is absolutely INSANE BALLS.
IMO, Primus is one of those few bands that their live performances are even better than the studio versions...
I was there, I was 17 years old, I almost died. I approve the above statement. Primus Sucks!
Captain Shiner the part of that performance where they play “My Name Is Mud” and actually get mud flung at them was hilarious. Les handled it well.
@@doomworship4995 because you have small insignificant genitalia

When you laughed before he said a word, you understood Primus just that much more. That was great. Love your channel bud.
I am STUNNED ! I ignored this band in the 90's . Right now I'm kicking myself in the ass for that choice ! Musical geniuses ! !
Correct.
If you dig this check out the DVD Les Claypool "Fancy" that will blow yer mind.
Indeed, they are. Especially the original lineup.
Welcome to the Primus club bruh.😊
Eh..I was there. Primus sucks.
Brother... “Those damn blue collared tweekers” is a must.
they're beloved in this here town

He should react to the live version from Woodstock 94 with that amazing crowd during their performance of this song!

Really intelligent and complex.
like they all play off each other
YESSS BEST BASE LINE AND DRUMS
Primus is weird, cool, and addictive... Once you start listening to a song , it's very hard to stop 🤘🏼😎
Fun fact!: Primus actually wrote the South Park theme song!... ya know... “come on down to South Park gonna have ourselves a time...” lol

Les Claypool tried out for Metallica after Cliff Burton passed and they told him he was too good.
No he would have been a horrible fit. Not “too good” as they had one of the greatest at the helm.
This is true!
They said he had something else going on in his bass skills, not that he was great, but as previously stated, not a good fit.
He is too good. He’d be bored as f on stage
Scott Warren so your saying Cliff was better bassist than Les? Hmmm, too bad we’d never know
I'm 73 years old now and this song STILL gets me moving! I LOVE that sledgehammer bass! I would LOVE to see them perform this LIVE.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
There is something about the way the PA at a concert venue allows the bass to punch you in the chest.
Old school go to the stereo display at wallyworld
Primus is a dish best served live.
And at least a dozen subwoofers.

That’s when I heard it. Haven’t been the same since
One of the best concerts I'd ever gone to was Primus opening for Rush here in Houston in the 90's... If you love Bass, brother that was a show!
where in Houston? the summit?
They are playing here in KC in October. Covering all of A Farewell to Kings. Should be badass
I saw them open for TOOL here at Toyota Center, best concert ever. Totally left there with sore throat, neck, and lower back lol
and it is worth reading the lyrics I think, Primus used a lot of symbolism within them. For example on the song Too Many Puppies, and how it alludes to young men, pretty much still children, joining armies and killing each other for no real reason other than for the power structure that orchestrates them. Still very much applicable to today
Based on the silly and comedic nature of Primus' delivery many people miss the semi deep philosophical, satirical and observational humor within Les' lyrics
One of the best bands ever, every album is awesome in my opinion, I have them all, seen them six times and will continue to do so as long as they're around
As long as Capitalism's been around, war's predominantly an imperial money racket
And then there's the songs about pieces of shit named mud (or Pete or Jack or Dennis) and beavers that eat taco Bell.
War was once the most beautiful thing a men could had, and they made it into something for simple money, and utilitarian shit. Just mere pieces just following blind orders for empty causes for them, carcasses without spirit offering themselves just with the only promise to maybe return home and have a life full fake comforts told by the new media. Really Fucked up stuff.
I’m surprised nobody has recommended Here Come the Bastards. Great Primus song
Laughing is just part of the Primus experience, friend.
You miss the point if you try to take it seriously. Enjoy the complex shit show friends.
That opening bass line just brings on the stankface....and sets the tone!
for me this song, has one of the greatest baselines ever created.
Tommy the Cat.
Listen to Toys Go Winding Down and that will change

Primus and Faith No More are bands that are under rated but are crazy talented ALSO I've always loved how Primus has a rural country vibe

Such a good video and great song
That video freaked me out when I saw it back in like 1993 at about 1:00 AM on a school night. I never understood this group.
Ooof. This one's gonna be fun.
The drums complexity on every song combined with the complex bass lines and lead guitar makes Primus one of the greatest ever!!!

I'm ur Melvin I mean in general they are underrated but in the metal community of course not, they’re Primus

Primus, Lollapalooza, Grant Park, Chicago, I don't remember the year. They always stretch out the end of Mud 3 or 4 times longer. Hearing that rumble hitting me in the face then bouncing off the buildings in the Loop and coming back to me as they rest on the fourth beat of each bar, was one of my favorite concert experiences ever.
Led Claypool is easily one of the greatest bass players of all time. When he and Buckethead teamed up, it was a brain-melting experience.
This song was my introduction to Primus and I was hooked. 25 years ago.
Was fortunate to see them open for Rush. It was awesome to see two bass gods that night 😁
FYI, this video was shot on Neil Young's ranch.

A lot of comments here about "my name is mud" meaning i'm in trouble, actually the saying comes from the 1800's when a politician named Mudd was caught in a scandal that ruined him, after that people started using it as in "if my wife/boss finds out my name is mud" The band Primus and my name is mud came from the stucco trade, Les Claypool was a laborer on a stucco crew, Primus is the name of a synthetic stucco product, when the guys applying the primus to the wall run out they yell at the top of their lungs "MUD", they dont say Les, Randy, Darrel, etc., etc. bring me some more, they yell "MUD", all helpers on a stucco crews are named "MUD", My uncle owns a stucco company, been there, done that, i enjoy watching your reactions, takes me back to when i was first hearing this stuff.
Mudd was the man who mended John Wilkes Booth's leg later that night after he assassinated Lincoln. He went to prison for it, was pardoned I'm 1869 by president Andrew Johnson. But his name was forever shamed. Hence the term "your name is going to be Mudd"
@@Mattdirk59 les is a smart guy. i'm sure he considered the play on words.
I love this channel because you’re a genuine dude. Primus is one of my favorite bands. Can’t believe my luck tbh
is it luck?
This was one of the strangest Primus songs ever!!!! Off the album Pork Soda!!!! I was at Woodstock 94 when these guys started doing this song. Mud came flying through the air, hitting the band. Check out the video to see what happens!!!!!
'Lacquer Head' is a really catchy song by them and definitely worth a look.
Oh shit yes!
Get even more out there with "mary the icecube"
Keep on sniffin' til your brain goes pop!
one of my favorites
@@ep8470 and another of my favorites
01:12 .. he looks like he could be Christian Bale's long lost brother.
That is Christian Bale
@@markstrickland8040 no it's note
@@matthewdaub yes it is
@@hoobastankus9513 it's les, look up his live shows from around the time of the album. He looks a lot like a young Christian bale.
@@matthewdaub I’m jk bruh
That bass is on F I R E !
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Pretty much every Les Claypool bass line is fire.
like that's the bass line that made Fieldy pick up the bass
I got into these when living in Italy over 20 years ago. Forgot all about them since moving back to the UK ☹️ Thanks for the reminder 👍🏼 They really are out there on there own when it comes to music genres.
BBBWWWWAAAAA🤣🤣🤣🤣
U FINALLY did Primus🤘 Much ❤️ to u for this 🙋♀️💕
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 LOVE IT
@@jamelakajamal
I am so glad!!!! Had a great time watching u reacting to one of my fave guilty pleasures as well!!! You're the best man💯
Been binge watching all your metal reactions. I gotta give you props. Your channel is awesome
Primus - Welcome To This World, DMV, Professor Nutbutter’s House Of Treats and Southbound Pachyderm. All solid tunes with awesome drums and bass...and aren’t too wacky.
P.s. Primus sucks...
Yes Southbound Pachyderm!
Primus Sucks
Professor Nutbutter is a great energizing song.
The fact that Welcome to this World is first on your list just goes to show you're a real one.
Solid tune.
This song doesn't really show it so much, but Les Claypool is one of the best bassists in the world. Freaking amazing. He can make it sing. Him, Cliff Burton (RIP), Geddy Lee...
Are they better than Jaco Pastorius?
The look of abject confusion and borderline horror on your face during the instrumental is PRICELESS.
My junior year (1994) in high school marching band we did percussion cadence to this drum and bass line. It was pretty badass if I do say so...
“Welcome to this World” is the best song off Pork Soda imo
I'll always have a soft spot for Primus, and heck, any categorically insane group of talented musicians.
The pig in that drink was a reference to the name of that album, Pork Soda
I've never seen the music video. I honestly didn't even know primus had music videos. I love their sound, they are so different than anything else I've ever heard. That badd, the drums, the voice, everything isbso amazingly cohesive and incohesive at the same time.
"gotta get him in the ground before he starts to smell." Murder, baby
Don’t forget Les has been in a LOT of solo and collaborative gigs. He and Primus are still going strong after 30 years.
Tommy the Cat has always been one of my funky favs. Anything from the early days, really.
Lmao! @ 1:08 Jamal goes from smiling to “uhhh wtf” then straight to nervous scared laughter.
Their Woodstock ‘94 performance of this song is epic! First time I ever heard them. So much mud was thrown that day!
1:13 the BEST!!! Reaction in the history of reactions 🤣🤣🤣
So awesome. Love your reactions to these Primus videos. Been jam'n them since '90. ENJOY
His name is Mud. Thats all.
Saw them 2 years ago opening for Tool. Oh my God. One of the best live performances I've ever seen.
He looks like somebody that's either the life of a party or the death of party and it all depends on how fancy it is.
I'm watching your Primus playlist.. I seen Primus in Indy long ago. Was the sorest I've ever been after a concert, was sore all the next day, could barely move my neck...lol.. oh but it was fun!!!!!
I would love to see your reaction to WINONA’S BIG BROWN BEAVER by PRIMUS
He already did it..
Seeing them live you have never felt so much Bass in your soul. Absolutely the most impressive bassist especially live
Les Claypool is unique. I think he learned his craft at the alter of Zappa.
I don't know, he has commented on his appreciation for what FZ did, and he more than likely listened to him growing up, but I haven't found anything that cites him looking to Zappa as an influence on his sound. I DO know that Les has looked to Rush and Geddy lee as an inspiration (at least in terms of bass virtuosity) but I think the weird sound he and Primus creates is all his own. Not to mention, Frank's weirdness is weird, but very put together while Les and Primus are just a bit off kilter. Like, Frank did things that you would go "huh, I didn't think of doing those chords together/those notes together" while Primus/Les claypool just think up controlled insanity in their music.
Jesse Nicoletta Frank invented WTF rock and anybody that has picked up a bass is influenced by the greats like Geddy Lee, Geezer Butler, Rodger Waters, John Entwhistle etc.
Claypool loves The Residents. Look them up.
Such a simplistic song that goes extremely hard starting with that wicked opening bass line.
"My name is mud" is an old frase that means "i'm screwed".
I just subscribed. I found this channel because of Primus. Thanks for the video!
"Don't drink it, dawg!"
But but...it's pork soda. It's good for ya.
Bla, my ham gum is all bone!
Mr. Krinkle
aint nothin quite like sittin round the house swigging down them cans o' swine.
@@StevenRice Where does his mind come from?! :D
That's how Mud gets to killin'. He drinks his wine... like Popeye and spinach.
Brother if you want to shake your ass a little bit, you should check out another Les Claypool (bass player/singer from Primus) tune, the band is Duo de Twang and the tune is their cover of "Stayin' Alive". its a fun time
I second this. The studio version sounds best but the live in Tahoe version does include two separate explanations from Les about why he didn't get the Metallica gig... ;-)
Went to 3 Duo de Twang shows. They were excellent!
The third one I came across! Primus is a great band. I'm glad to see you appreciate it!
PLEASE REACT TO SOME FRANK ZAPPA!
chewbaccabooberry It would be blocked by the Zappa trust... It's too bad, because he's one of my favorite artists... Shame.
@@leddygee1896 Seems to be quite a few other Zappa reaction videos, though.
Millions and millions of people who love all kinds of music, love Primus! Any musician/producer/writer can learn things from Primus.
The Story: Aloysius Devandander Abercrombie aka "Mud" has killed his friend for stepping on his shoes. Now he needs to bury the body before it starts to smell.
The man drinking at the end of the video was not poisoned, he was merely enjoying some "Pork Soda" which, not coincidentally, is the name of the album this song came off of.
What gets lost in this song behind Les’s bass is all the extras added into the drum beat. Pay attention to the little double taps of the bass drum and quick cymbals, especially in the second part of the song. Really intricate stuff and it’s a real display of talent.
Nobody: 4 string is bass, 6 string is guitar.
Primus: Hold my beer
Jamal.. Your reaction when he 1st spoke -my name is mud- & leaned into the camera, you were laughing so hard ... I started laughing with you & could not stop for about 10min.
Much Respect & Love your way Amigo! ✌
Have you heard “Big Brown Beaver” my friend?
I like that you really give all genres a chance! You got a subscriber bro! 🤙
His name is mud because he just killed someone.
His name is mud because the Singer/Bass player last name is "Claypool"
You should see the live performance. The way the crowd reacts is definitely a sight to behold.
Please check out Mr. Krinkle by Primus
Reaction video in 2019 on a primus song... where have u been lol
Ah,Primus,one my top fave bands,just for the bass playing,love the Primus beat,can hear what ever song a mile away,and say"Hey some ones listening to Primus"
In case anyone didn't catch the cultural references:
1. Ed Gein
2. Deliverance
What reference of Ed Gein are you talking about?
Whar you goin' city boy!
@@christopher4098586 www.biography.com/crime-figure/ed-gein
@@MrK-wu7ci, I dont think the song reflects the ways of ed or any particular crime, intension or success in his story, but ok.
Maybe, Im been to meticulous about it...
When you said he was playing the character of mud that hit me hard man. I been listening to this since it came out and had many thoughts upon the lyrics and I never put that together the symbolism. Thanks man
"My name is mud" or "your name is Mud" refers to a person that is disgraced or scandalous.
Just found your channel! Very cool. Keep at it man. Subbed.
hes talking about killing a dude and burying him for disrespecting him. be careful who you talk smack to is the point
His FRIEND
Not just SOME DUDE
It's great that you open your mind up to new, but old genres! Les Claypool is a MIGHTY GENIUS! Your reaction, priceless!Hahaha my name is MUD!!!
His name is Mud cuz it means hes in trouble.
