Lacquer Head's bassline is the purest example I've ever seen of simple but absolutely not easy. Like when I realised what he was doing it was so obvious I was amazed it had't been done by Larry Collins back in the day. And I will probably never be able to play it.
Its really all about timing its easy if you start out slow. Ive had my bass since 2019 but started actually playing it a few months ago and lacquer head gets easier once you know how its actually played.
As much as les always stands out the whole band put on such a sick show. Probably my favourite Primus song especially because this video is just incredible. Flawless
I've always loved the more obscure live performances. The ones you get to after going on a Primus binge, How the heck does this not have more views.. Up there with one of my favourite live performances. YEEAH!
Stood right in front of him and had a giant mosh pit behind us and kids flying over our head. At 60 it was the 5th time I've seen them and the best show ever!
I've been listening to them since the early 90s but this 99 Family Values tour was my first time seeing them and I remember just being absolutely blown away by how they sounded live. There will never be another band like them
I was 14 years old in 1999. I remember seeing this video and by the end of the week I had all of their albums. By the end of the month I picked up a bass. 19 years later and I still cant fucking play like Les...
It’s funny how Fred Durst had a lot to do with Antipop. The Brown Album was a big departure for Primus and Durst encouraged Claypool to do more slap/pop based stuff like on the early albums. So they did Antipop, toured with a bunch of nu-metal bands, and then I think Claypool got sick of that whole scene. His heart is more in the jam band scene, ironically.
Fred Durst had ZERO influence on Les Claypool. He was a guest producer on one song,as every song had a guest appearance on Antipop.Durst is a bubblegum poster boy.
@@tylerfletcher1291 despite having a soft spot for a handful of Limp Bizkit songs, I still think you're giving Fred Durst too much credit. He happened into what he had, and got lucky the world was "ready" for it. I do, however, 100% agree with your first statement. The only influence Durst could have ever had on Claypool was maybe to show him that Durst was useless, and for Les to keep doing what he's been doing the whole time.
It was 98 or 99, I remember buying the family values album on cassette when i was 15 because of Korn and Limp Bizkit. Hearing Primus for the first time, i gotta be honest, i didnt really like it, couldn't really understand it with my angry 15 yr old brain. It was on my 30's that I rediscovered Primus and started getting into it...
I dunno, I'd borrow Pork Soda album from my uncle when I was younger. I've always liked Primus. Then I was excited to hear them when South Park first aired.
les looks like a different guy in every video I have watched, he always is either 50 pounds over weight or super skinny or has long hair or a buzz, he changes his look a lot
In the six times I've seen Primus live, Anti-pop is the one album I haven't seen them do anything from. But 'Eclectic Electric' seems to be a staple on setlists for their current tour, so maybe that'll change whenever I see them next!
i saw them do the last boyage of the linley sky in 21 but that the the closest i’ve ever been to them playing lacquer head. every time i buy a ticket i think “this is it, they’ll play lacquer head tonight” but they never do it’s eay one of my favorite primus songs ever
This is certainly no reflection of any artist's skill or talent. But, I'm so glad that Les didn't get the Metallica gig...What both bands do is ridiculously great. They're simply just two different paths of ass-kickery. We music fans definitely got the better of that deal.
you know, Anjelica Huston looks so amazing in this film. The way her eyes are lit just gives her performance such life, and she's a vision of powerful femininity.
Reminds me of times Id rather forget. Dumbasses playing hacky sack in the laquer room every day in wood shop class in the late 90s. Not sure how I made it to the next year.
all the songs primus does is way better live in my opinion . i love watching his live stuff its fanamonal. this was the first song with my name is mud was my intro to primus when the family values was goin down i was 13 still listen to all of it till this day.

Ha this is a good one... when they do the silent pause for like a half note then go BOOM into it... really no band got it that tight. PS his left arm is weirdly giant ?.. from all that speedy fret work

Don’t compare stupid Monty python with this genius

Just one of the most talented bassists ever
Yes
It wouldn’t be far fetched to say THE most two red bass player ever
Dopest custom bass too.
Id argue the only one better is his idol, Mr. Geddy Lee.
@@GiganticWeen Check on The Who bass player John Entwistle imo he was a bit better even than Geddy on bass but no singing or keys just pure bass monster
This song is the musical equivalent of a Mike Judge cartoon
They had a song on “The Beavis and Butt-head Experience”
Poetry and prose, I saw them for the anti pop tour. Was great
They didn't include the part where Tim Alexander is wearing some fake yokel teeth in the interview.
For some reason is true
Males sense. They did create the opening song to South Park.
"He was a boy of soft demeanor, and he loved his carburetor cleaner."
Hand that in for a poetry assignment in school as a joke.
I had an oral English test I read out the lyrics to Raining blood 🤣

Kinda blown away. Like what?? Does his bass have a floyd rose??
@@THICCMando66 Most likely a Kahler bass tremelo.
@@THICCMando66 Claypool has always used Kahler Trems
Yeah a Kahler and a 32inch scale and a single emg pickup, I think with some weird gauges.
@@JohnSmith-fq3rg two A strings and two G strings I heard once, no idea really. They're definitely Dunlops though as he's a long time endorser
Currently learning this on bass; it's a challenge but whacking the E string during the chorus is a very satisfying feeling
after having recently learned this song i can agree
Yeah I’m learning it as well. I think the part I’ll probably struggle with the most is getting that fast triplet part up to that speed
Learned this song and performed it just today actually, it's definitely a super fun song to play once you put it all together
he got that conker live and reloaded outfit
Fr tho
Lol

Ha dude, your comment just gave me a massive flashback to my childhood. That's a game that I haven't thought of in many, many years.

Laquerhead is like the easiest Primus song to play on bass. It's just muting and plucking with both hands.

As much as les always stands out the whole band put on such a sick show. Probably my favourite Primus song especially because this video is just incredible. Flawless

YEEAH!
This kicks so much ass.
Never done a bad album.
Bryan Mantia on the drums! I love his style
He's one of the greats. Not too flashy, just straightforward grooves.
This was my introduction to Primus, Family Values Tour. What an amazing way to find them!!!
I wish you live forever for posting an HD version of this gem.
Love that the cameras for the outro shift back and forth to match the intensity of the song
Say what you want but Antipop was one of their best albums
very underrated
If Primus was metal...and they’re not...this would be their “Master of Puppets”
Seas of cheese then antipop for me
My favorite album of theirs.
This is good, but brown album is definitely my favorite. Really don't understand all the hate for antipop.
I'm convinced Les has a closet that could be confused for a warehouse sized costume store.
Best live version of all songs ever!
33 years of listening to Primus. And love the fact that Les plays the bass so hard like he is trying to break in half! Keep on keeping on Les!
I wish I could have been there, but I wouldn't have been born for 16 days.
Guess I gotta catch the next show.
Such a fine performance.
Stood right in front of him and had a giant mosh pit behind us and kids flying over our head. At 60 it was the 5th time I've seen them and the best show ever!
Boy that snare sounds incredible
I absolutely love how Les is always in a random outfit
I've been listening to them since the early 90s but this 99 Family Values tour was my first time seeing them and I remember just being absolutely blown away by how they sounded live. There will never be another band like them
Makes me wanna learn the bass guitar
Same. I might set my guitar aside
You should do it
do both
Ikr
Don't think I've ever heard the lyrics so clearly. "Big bag of" gasoline aha
wow ...didn't expect that to be so amazing ...what a band !
I was 14 years old in 1999. I remember seeing this video and by the end of the week I had all of their albums. By the end of the month I picked up a bass. 19 years later and I still cant fucking play like Les...
...I sold up and started basket weaving.
Les makes it all look so easy!
Nice quality
Terrific band! So original and inventive!
Ridiculously good musicianship.
lets all raise our drinks to those amazing original carl thompson basses
cheers.
It really is a thing of beauty.

Does the drum kit own some money to Bryan?
He’s one of my favorite drummers! He absolutely kills it.
Wow! I didn't discover Primus until I was in my late 50's. What I would give to seem them back then.

First time i find it suprising that they were fans of cause i find it weird, but primus now is my top 10 favorite band
The energy of the band was so tight, who would say next year the band went on hiatus
I think they did the following year (2000)
1:08 this part is so sick
1:07 I want someone to loop this so I can watch it 10 hours straight
crazy
This is cool and strange
Sometimes bored and sometimes lonely
Pimple faced and rather homely
He wasn't much for socializin'
The TV kept a mesmerizin'
In one ear and out the other
Picked up a trick from his older brother
Got him a can of sniffin' sauce
Pinned his mind up on a cross
Lacquer head knows but one desire
Lacquer head sets his skull on fire
Lacquer head knows no in betweens
Huffin' on bags of gasoline
Sniffin' paint since the seventh grade
She was high on gin and gatorade
On turpentine she lost her luck
Fell in front of a speeding pick-up truck
He was a boy of soft demeanor
And he loved his carburetor cleaner
The vapor made a sweet aroma
He sniffed himself into a coma
Lacquer head feeds his one desire
Lacquer head sets his brain on fire
Lacquer head knows no in betweens
Huffin' on bags of gasoline
Keep on sniffin' till yer brain goes pop
On the off chance fellow yard listeners are here: for some reason, every time i watch/listen to this performance, Les makes me think of Slime
The drip is unfathomable
Only 1 dislike, who did that
That’s in the pocket
Oh he got the grooves so bad it makes him walk like no one else lol
