A lot of Primus lyrics are much more serious than they seem. It’s easy to lose them behind the great riffs and psychedelic visuals. Many layers to this band.
For sure, Last Salmon Man is a great example. What a stupid title, but it's this super sad song about a guy watching his family livelihood disolve. Les is great at sucking you in with the silly shit then hitting you with something powerful.
The Antipop album gets more flack than it should. I think it may have to do with the production though, IMO it's an early sufferer of the "loudness war"
No one can say that less claypool isn't anything less than one of the most inventive, technically brilliant and unbelievably creative bass players to ever have lived, he is simply amazing.
Just want to clarify that while indeed Les has been doing his own solo/side projects for years and still today, PRIMUS is still VERY active. I've seen them 9 times between 2010 and 2019. Twice in one year a couple times. Their most recent album came out in 2017. They just finished a big tour with Slayer. SEE THEM IF YOU GET THE CHANCE! My first show changed my life.
Fun fact about the hallucination part, the transitions to the other scenes are actually from past Primus Music Videos! For exampls, the cheese scenes are from Jerry Was A Racecar Driver and the black and white cartoon is from Tommy the Cat
Sea of Cheese: Jerry was a Racecar Driver Cartoon cats: Tommy the cat Creepy pig head: My name is Mud Fat guy in a red suit: Southbound Pachyderm Cowboys: Big Brown Beaver
"American Life" and "Over the Electric Grapevine" are great! "Professor Nutbutters House of Treats" is another great one and early Primus "Sausage - Riddles are Abound Tonight" please! Soooo goooood!!
@@RobinHobben dude, YES!! There's just so many! One of my personal favorite is a video of "Sgt Baker" live performed by old Primus ( Primate ) th-cam.com/video/PM5I5oo1yKI/w-d-xo.html Studio or live, Primus sucks!
I have been watching your reactions to Primus all night. Thanks you so much for doing all of these! I remember going to see early Primus shows in SF in the mid 80's...
I'm a huge fan of Primus, and I've heard alot of their songs and I'm here to give you some of my recommendations for a possible future video, Sgt. Baker is a really good song, Hamburger Train is the perfect song if you enjoy the Bass cuz it's like 8 straight minutes of pure bass, Riddles are Abound Tonight by Sausage but it's pretty much the same group. I heavily recommend these songs
Dude notice the reason this music just the music impacts you. It sounds like a train and you want to move, push forward. Then the bass is mind boggling then pay attention to the lirycs and your mind is blown. I'm about to watch shake hands and I'm so excited to see your impression!
If you enjoyed this one I think you should check out Jilly's On Smack from the Green Naugahyde album. It's outside the box even for Primus. Les really branches out and gets some trippy sounds out of a bowed upright bass. Their newer albums are sadly overlooked and underrated, but they've still got it. Love watching you react to this band, keep it up!
I'm am really digging that you're on a PRIMUS rampage. Yes, react to Too Many Puppies. BUT, if you would, PLEASE react to TRAGEDY's A' COMIN' --- You'll LOVE it.
Folks who say not to worry about the lyrics should be ignored. Les has one of the greatest comic voices in all of music. He is even a novelist! Absolutely hilarious!
Old video, but here's a new comment: Primus is easily one of THE bands ever. Helped me through one of the toughest parts of my 40 year old life, and I started to listen to the lyrics. They're more than they seem. They also tought me to really love and appreciate slap bass music ^_^ One of the reasons I actually pursued my old interest in playing the bass as well ^_^
Just today i bumped into your channel when i was searching for Primus songs and man, you are one entertaining guy and you put smile on my face (recently been having really tough time mentally) so thank you for that and i love your passion for music, it shows! You definitely earned my sub :) Already have watched your reactions from multiple bands like Alice in Chains and Deftones. Continue to do what you do and don't change anything! Greetings from Finland!
I fell in love with primus in 94' and havent looked back. I'm glad you're finally having a listen. Hes telling a story about a dude addicted huffing fumes.
I love watching you learn about primus. Mr. Claypool has been solo for a while and has a lot of tons with his other solo music too, I like all his songs so much, brother
Hey Jamel, Wonderful how a man from LA gets this middle aged reference man from the other side of the planet back to his favourite band from his teenage years. Thanx man!
Les claypool for president 2020!!!funny my son has a sticker he's had it since 97 I think says les claypool for president he's actually got to play for les claypool before got very lucky if I didn't see it I wouldn't believe it and he got the playlist claypool's base and Les claypool told him at the age when14 at time Les said to him brother by the time you're my age I'm going to be out of a job well my son is now 31 years old and he plays bass for cirque du soleil in las Vegas that he still sees him every time they're on tour and he still plays the base just like Les claypool pretty amazing started when he was four or five years old!🖤🖤🖤
One thing that can help understand where Primus found influences is to check out the underground San Francisco group of artists called The Residents. Have a look at their ‘One Minute Movies’ here on YT. You’ll see the connection...
Damian Kirkwood There are some Residents tracks that sound like Les is singing but of course pinning down who is actually a member of the band is mysterious...
If you're enjoying Primus so far, you might wanna give Ween a try. Definitely not the same type of music, but the same realm of "weird", and both bands are friendly with each other.
This tune struck a very heavy chord in me-----I knew a guy in school years ago who died from huffing gasoline..... I fall in love w/Primus more and more as I continue to discover what they were all about... Jamel's reviews are what got me turned on to these awesomely nutty guys..........
Pretty damn addicting?? For real man, you gotta have yourself, not just a Primus day, but a Les Claypool day! May I recommend from his extensive catalogue: Les Claypool - One Better The Claypool Lennon Delerium - Mr. Wright Oysterhead - Mr. Oysterhead Duo De Twang - Stayin' Alive Primus - Harold Of The Rocks The Les Claypool Frog Brigade - Ding Dong
Jamel... for some fairly recent Primus may I suggest Jilly's on Smack? I also agree that an oldie but goodie.. Too Many Puppiesand/or To Defy The Laws Of Tradition are a MUST!!! I saw your reactions to the songs from Pink Floyd's "Animals" album... given that you clearly dig Claypool, and you dig Floyd... you need to check out a side Project called Colonel Les Claypool's Fearless Flying Frog Brigade. Check out Live Frogs [Set 2]. They play the whole Pink Floyd "Animals" album live from start to finish and it's FLAT OUT AMAZING!!!!! Floyd isn't easy to cover and they just ABSOLUTELY CRUUUUUSSSSSHHH IT! 💯🐸🤘🎸🥁🎹🎵
Shake hands with beef in repeat!?!? You are the man! I went to see U2 live once with some friends who'd invited me....i went only to see Primus who was opening for them!!!!! Lol 😆
Love your run on Primus. There are some great live performances out there as well showcasing a different aspect of Primus' catalog. Bonnaroo 2011 "American Life" and "Jilly's on Smack". Or, if you want a serious shock to the cerebellum, try digging into the extensive works of Les Claypool's side projects such as Oysterhead. Colonel Claypool's Bucket of Bernie Brains, and also Colonel Claypool's Frog Brigade. So much fun. You should also try Buckethead. He doesn't have very many produced videos but the ones he has are baffling yet very heavy.
@Brian Weber Let me specify. At the time Les was coming up, meth was a hardcore epidemic in Cali, and his dad didn't want him getting caught up in the Meth life. Hence, songs like Harold of the Rocks ... I'm sure they've done their share of other drugs, but, those other drugs are not the same as meth, and that's coming from someone who was in Cali and addicted to meth at age 12, and has done almost every other drug I could get my hands on
@Brian Weber Yeah, I grew up around heroine junkies, and that shit always scared me more than anything else. Never touched it. I've tried other things, but, I'm a huge weed supporter. It's helped me immensely in my life.
@Brian Weber same here ... If I hadn't left Cali at age 14 and moved to Ohio to live with my dad, I would've been dead or in prison, it was that bad. I'm so glad I came here and raised a family here. My kids don't know a lot of the struggle I had to survive through
@Brian Weber LOL same .. always down for some real convos with strangers though. I debate myself all the time on how much of my past to tell my kids. They know some, but, not all by any means. Peace to you and yours as well
Thanks man..I feel vindicated now.... Who got the funk now....😝 I was listening to this as a late teen/young adult in the 90s when it was new... Time for some sublime covering Bob Marley... Smoke 2 joints at night
first seen primus on bill and ted's when i was a kid and didn't know it, then i played tony hawk at 13 and heard 'jerry was a racecar driver' and sounded like some crazed jazzy lounge singer, then i bought 'seas of cheese' which is a 10/10 album and one of my all time favorites
Greetings from northern Europe Jamal! I've been stalking your channel for a few days. And it has been an absolute pleasure my friend! You are entertaining, philosophical and diplomatic with your reviews, and I am having a good time going through them and listening to your comments. Especially your Primus reviews (funny as ****** hell). As a rock/punk/metal ex-musician through 20 years , I've meet many a bass player who praised this band. And my immediate impression in the past was always that it was organized noise, but not very clever or catchy in general (damn they suck!). Watching your reviews mr. Jamal, I've been compelled to reevaluate my previous conceptions of this music. And I am beginning to understand some of the charms; the bass technique (wow, slap!, WOW!) and the delivery of the message (always with attempted humor). So, I appreciate your reviews, and I am beginning to understand the perspective of some of the bass players I've had the opportunity to jam with. Thank you Mr. Jamal, keep em coming. Note: By the way. If you do take requests, I would love to hear your opinion of a track I discovered recently. Now this is underground, but features one of the best bass players i've heard in modern times, Mr Victor Wooten. He is usually not a rock/metal artist but does a pretty neat job doing so. Track: th-cam.com/video/_z-ZrQPfY5o/w-d-xo.html / Octavision : Three Lives Hope you enjoy.
One of the things i love about Primus. Besides the musicianship and nasty feel. Their songs are stories about characters. Not love songs. Not emo. Just stories
Well, Southbound Pachyderm is about the Global warming, De anza Jig is about Les' studying years on De anza College. I know that you are talking about most of them, but this is just a little more cherry on the cake.
Those Damn Blue Collar Tweekers, American Life, Here Come The Bastards are some good shit...Les Claypool's Frog Brigade does a live cover of the ENTIRE Pink Floyd "Animals" album and it's amazing. I know you're inundated with suggestions, but you really can't go wrong with Les Claypool stuff..."Sausage" is another great project of his.
I knew (not going to mention names) of 2 people in the 70's who worked for a cleaning service. They used high powered buffers with a buffing laquer. Once in awhile they would take the left over laquer and poor it in a bathtub and lean over it on their knees and huff for about a half hr. They said they were entering LAQUER LAND! True story!
oh, Hell. The Middle 1960s. EVIL EVIL. Kids were huffing GAS FUMES. Caught my little brother his friend huffing from my motorcycle gas tank, Ruined his mind, ruined my cycle motor.
I've left a few comments but haven't suggested a song. This is my favorite band, I can tell you like the funk aspect of Primus but if I may, a three-piece band that produces huge sound is referred to as a "Power Trio." While Primus is a very funky trio, they are also a very POWERFUL trio. That raw, brutal power is never more evident than on the song Over The Electric Grapevine. I can't think of another trio anywhere, not hendrix, not cream, not OG grand funk railroad--no one matches the power they achieve in that song. Give it a try?
So Jamel aka Jamal actually isn't just playing the song to cash on it with facial expressions. He's got the charisma that I actually want to hear his reaction. My friends already like Primus. I like to see a stranger groove to the music I like.
A lot of Primus lyrics are much more serious than they seem. It’s easy to lose them behind the great riffs and psychedelic visuals. Many layers to this band.
For sure, Last Salmon Man is a great example. What a stupid title, but it's this super sad song about a guy watching his family livelihood disolve. Les is great at sucking you in with the silly shit then hitting you with something powerful.
@@stevenx2523 Bob is pretty dark
Les is a topknoch storyteller
"Damn they suck" your a real primus fan now! Im so excited for you!
Primus sucks
@reconz 82299 its a primus fan thing to say they suck.
Yes they suck.
I sear them at Rock City in England in the 1990s
The most underrated Primus song imo.
I never heard it before today. It's phenomenal.
Antipop is a great album, LAP
I think it the best. They have tons of good stuff but this one is next level imo
My favorite Primus song!!
The Antipop album gets more flack than it should. I think it may have to do with the production though, IMO it's an early sufferer of the "loudness war"
This was banned from MTV...for being too awesome....that and the drugs.
It was against drugs, and MTV was all "It's PROMOTING drugs!!1!"
Was hilarious to watch go down.
MTV banned everything that was good. Thank God for TH-cam. I found so many music videos that i never knew were even made.
@@briandamphousse8041 Sadly, TH-cam is now trying to ban anything that's good, fun, or informative.
@@brentkeller3826 can we agree that this is one of there metal songs
@@roninmusic144 no argument there!
No one can say that less claypool isn't anything less than one of the most inventive, technically brilliant and unbelievably creative bass players to ever have lived, he is simply amazing.

harris awsesome, thanks for the knowledge sir.
It's been funny. It's gone from "what the hell have these silly white folks got me watching" to "looking forward to this one"
Check out his shit with john Lennon's son it's called claypool Lennon delirium
My favorite of his "side projects" is Oysterhead, personally, but he's a damn good musician.
Fun fact about the hallucination part, the transitions to the other scenes are actually from past Primus Music Videos! For exampls, the cheese scenes are from Jerry Was A Racecar Driver and the black and white cartoon is from Tommy the Cat
You beat me to it. By four months! Well played. :-)
Those cowboy guys are also from Wynona’s big brown beaver
There is also the cheesy home video intro.
Sea of Cheese: Jerry was a Racecar Driver
Cartoon cats: Tommy the cat
Creepy pig head: My name is Mud
Fat guy in a red suit: Southbound Pachyderm
Cowboys: Big Brown Beaver
Lol "Damn they suck!"
This guy gets it!
"American Life" and "Over the Electric Grapevine" are great! "Professor Nutbutters House of Treats" is another great one and early Primus "Sausage - Riddles are Abound Tonight" please! Soooo goooood!!
Excellent choices. I'd also love to see "Southbound Pachyderm"
@@RobinHobben dude, YES!! There's just so many!
One of my personal favorite is a video of "Sgt Baker" live performed by old Primus ( Primate )
th-cam.com/video/PM5I5oo1yKI/w-d-xo.html
Studio or live, Primus sucks!
Right on! Tied for my favorite Primus song, along with Too Many Puppies;]
Got him a can of sniffin' sauce...pinned his mind upon the cross
Too many puppies next, man!
Hilarious, I just typed Too many puppies without realizing that the top comment is yours.
Please
That's another good one bro!!!,👍
One of my fuckin favorite songs of Primus
Yesssssssssss, Too many puppies is one of their best off their best album!
Primus has made my brain go pop for the last 23 years lol They have always been in a league of there own. One of the top 10 bands for me of all time.
Great one. Their song fish on is great

I have been watching your reactions to Primus all night. Thanks you so much for doing all of these! I remember going to see early Primus shows in SF in the mid 80's...

That bass tho!
this is my fav song by primus. its so metal
Primus has a love song. It's called "Mary, the Ice Cube."
I believe that song is about him quitting smoking weed I could be wrong tho
The only love song by primus is De anza Jig and it's an amazing song. Has a strong banjo kazooie vibe.
Nothing ever last forever
Tommy the cat: am I a joke to you?
I'd like to suggest their song Southbound Pachyderm. I think you're ready for it. (and I know I'm not the first to suggest it)
David Bronke best song music lyrics speaking. Damn impressive
that whole album. top 5 all time albums imo
I can never pick a favorite. There are one or two albums I don’t love as much, but mostly they are all the best for different things
Gotta check out "Lee Van Cleef" by Primus!
Check out "Toys go winding down" by Primus. One of my favorites by them. Your videos are awesome.
Very underrated Primus track. One of my favorites!
Yep,mine too!!
Yes it's hauntingly beautiful
IT'S PUDDING TIME!!!
Pudding Time Children
Dude notice the reason this music just the music impacts you. It sounds like a train and you want to move, push forward. Then the bass is mind boggling then pay attention to the lirycs and your mind is blown. I'm about to watch shake hands and I'm so excited to see your impression!
This whole album is amazing don't know why people hate on it so much...
YES! This is one of my favorite Primus songs, and definitely my favorite video. I'm so glad you reacted to it!!!
If you enjoyed this one I think you should check out Jilly's On Smack from the Green Naugahyde album. It's outside the box even for Primus. Les really branches out and gets some trippy sounds out of a bowed upright bass. Their newer albums are sadly overlooked and underrated, but they've still got it. Love watching you react to this band, keep it up!
Nearly all of Primus' songs are tragic parables
I was obsessed w primus back in junior high, '94 for me
I'm am really digging that you're on a PRIMUS rampage. Yes, react to Too Many Puppies. BUT, if you would, PLEASE react to TRAGEDY's A' COMIN' --- You'll LOVE it.
Folks who say not to worry about the lyrics should be ignored. Les has one of the greatest comic voices in all of music. He is even a novelist! Absolutely hilarious!
I was so excited for his reaction, I have grown up my whole life listening to primus and this has for sure always been one of my top favs!!
I grew up with Jerry and Tommy the Cat and stopped hearing Primus...never heard this amazing song before a few months ago. I love it.
Old video, but here's a new comment: Primus is easily one of THE bands ever. Helped me through one of the toughest parts of my 40 year old life, and I started to listen to the lyrics.

I'm pretty late to the party but "Over the falls" is one of my favorite Primus songs.

Loved thos band for 25 + years. I've seen em like 6 times now. Great video bro
When someone first said a thing was something else thats a perfect description of Primus
I fell in love with primus in 94' and havent looked back. I'm glad you're finally having a listen. Hes telling a story about a dude addicted huffing fumes.
Check out "harold of the rocks" and "jillies on smack" and "Bob" the last one has primus lowest bassline in their library (I believe)
my favorite Primus...funk groove AND rock , like no other
im so glad you like primus, im the only person i know in my circle of friends and family that like them

I knew they'd become a favorite of yours. They're undeniable
I'm glad I'm not alone with playing Primus songs on loop 😂
Love the way you danced lol
You and your brothers have the best reactions to Primus. Watching ya'll takes me back to when I was introduced to them. Awesome.
You have made me a big Primus fan. I’m sure you’ve alone have had a big impact on getting new folks turned on to Primus.
One thing that can help understand where Primus found influences is to check out the underground San Francisco group of artists called The Residents. Have a look at their ‘One Minute Movies’ here on YT. You’ll see the connection...
isnt les claypool the singer in the residents ;)

Cool the first time I ever heard that song was earlier today it's now one of my favorites instant subscribe
Toys Go Winding Down, next please. That is one of the best Bass lines you will ever hear.
I'm groovin to you groovin. Keep at it!
This song is permanently on my favorite playlist. Has been since it came out.
Your channel has become part of my top 3 favorites!! Keep on keeping on Makin vids, please!
Pretty damn addicting?? For real man, you gotta have yourself, not just a Primus day, but a Les Claypool day! May I recommend from his extensive catalogue:
Les Claypool - One Better
The Claypool Lennon Delerium - Mr. Wright
Oysterhead - Mr. Oysterhead
Duo De Twang - Stayin' Alive
Primus - Harold Of The Rocks
The Les Claypool Frog Brigade - Ding Dong
Jamel... for some fairly recent Primus may I suggest Jilly's on Smack? I also agree that an oldie but goodie.. Too Many Puppiesand/or To Defy The Laws Of Tradition are a MUST!!!
I saw your reactions to the songs from Pink Floyd's "Animals" album... given that you clearly dig Claypool, and you dig Floyd... you need to check out a side Project called Colonel Les Claypool's Fearless Flying Frog Brigade. Check out Live Frogs [Set 2]. They play the whole Pink Floyd "Animals" album live from start to finish and it's FLAT OUT AMAZING!!!!! Floyd isn't easy to cover and they just ABSOLUTELY CRUUUUUSSSSSHHH IT! 💯🐸🤘🎸🥁🎹🎵
Shake hands with beef in repeat!?!? You are the man! I went to see U2 live once with some friends who'd invited me....i went only to see Primus who was opening for them!!!!! Lol 😆
THAT EFFIN BASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love your run on Primus. There are some great live performances out there as well showcasing a different aspect of Primus' catalog. Bonnaroo 2011 "American Life" and "Jilly's on Smack". Or, if you want a serious shock to the cerebellum, try digging into the extensive works of Les Claypool's side projects such as Oysterhead. Colonel Claypool's Bucket of Bernie Brains, and also Colonel Claypool's Frog Brigade. So much fun. You should also try Buckethead. He doesn't have very many produced videos but the ones he has are baffling yet very heavy.
hey Jamal if you like Les Claypool try "bloood and rockets " by : the Claypool Lennon Delirium
That whole album is amazing. I think Amethyst Realm is one of the most well written songs I've ever heard.
Les's father bought him a bass guitar to keep him from getting into the drug scene where he grew up. That's when he learned. He's a living legend.
@Brian Weber Let me specify. At the time Les was coming up, meth was a hardcore epidemic in Cali, and his dad didn't want him getting caught up in the Meth life. Hence, songs like Harold of the Rocks ... I'm sure they've done their share of other drugs, but, those other drugs are not the same as meth, and that's coming from someone who was in Cali and addicted to meth at age 12, and has done almost every other drug I could get my hands on
@Brian Weber Yeah, I grew up around heroine junkies, and that shit always scared me more than anything else. Never touched it. I've tried other things, but, I'm a huge weed supporter. It's helped me immensely in my life.
Heroine is terrifying, more so than meth
@Brian Weber same here ... If I hadn't left Cali at age 14 and moved to Ohio to live with my dad, I would've been dead or in prison, it was that bad. I'm so glad I came here and raised a family here. My kids don't know a lot of the struggle I had to survive through
@Brian Weber LOL same .. always down for some real convos with strangers though. I debate myself all the time on how much of my past to tell my kids. They know some, but, not all by any means. Peace to you and yours as well
Thanks man..I feel vindicated now.... Who got the funk now....😝
I was listening to this as a late teen/young adult in the 90s when it was new...
Time for some sublime covering Bob Marley... Smoke 2 joints at night
Lacquer has but one desire ....lacquer head sets his skull

And I am beginning to understand some of the charms; the bass technique (wow, slap!, WOW!) and the delivery of the message (always with attempted humor).
So, I appreciate your reviews, and I am beginning to understand the perspective of some of the bass players I've had the opportunity to jam with.
Thank you Mr. Jamal, keep em coming.
Note:
By the way. If you do take requests, I would love to hear your opinion of a track I discovered recently.
Now this is underground, but features one of the best bass players i've heard in modern times, Mr Victor Wooten. He is usually not a rock/metal artist but does a pretty neat job doing so.

I know that you are talking about most of them, but this is just a little more cherry on the cake.

I know you're inundated with suggestions, but you really can't go wrong with Les Claypool stuff..."Sausage" is another great project of his.
Best god dammit reaction dude!!!
I'm tellin' ya, man, Sausage - "Riddles are Abound Tonight". You may very well be the first person on TH-cam to react to it.
I wish the Live Frogs Set 1 version was on TH-cam
One of my PERSONAL FAVORITES.
Frog Brigade Buzzards of Green Hill! Its still Les Claypool on bass
This was the first song I ever heard from them..., on the Family Values Tour 1999 cd. Then slept on them for too long
No matter how disturbed he gets, you can tell he's still really into it XD
The live version of this is even better.
We gotta take Jamal to a primus show
I love primus! You can't help but to bounce hearing it

I knew (not going to mention names) of 2 people in the 70's who worked for a cleaning service. They used high powered buffers with a buffing laquer. Once in awhile they would take the left over laquer and poor it in a bathtub and lean over it on their knees and huff for about a half hr. They said they were entering LAQUER LAND! True story!
Primus & Living Colour love the band " Kings X" Jamal,will love this!
First suggested song Official Video "King" of debut album!
oh, Hell. The Middle 1960s. EVIL EVIL. Kids were huffing GAS FUMES. Caught my little brother his friend huffing from my motorcycle gas tank, Ruined his mind, ruined my cycle motor.
Reminds me of my younger days when we were painting cars with lacquer paint before the urethane came out
Bob by Primus is another great one to check out
I love how they go through the album covers.....
I've left a few comments but haven't suggested a song. This is my favorite band, I can tell you like the funk aspect of Primus but if I may, a three-piece band that produces huge sound is referred to as a "Power Trio." While Primus is a very funky trio, they are also a very POWERFUL trio. That raw, brutal power is never more evident than on the song Over The Electric Grapevine. I can't think of another trio anywhere, not hendrix, not cream, not OG grand funk railroad--no one matches the power they achieve in that song.
Give it a try?
You gotta do "To Defy The Laws Of Tradition" and "American Life" for more Primus songs! Personal favorite is "Spegetti Western"
Lol I was listening to shake hands with beef before this.
Awesome as fuck you dig this band 👌🏼
All primus is groovy. Bob and Pudding time are worth checking out
The only man to rhyme carburetor cleaner
Fun fact about the music video, Fred Durst produced it. Probably one of the best things he did.
Even my wife loves Primus!
So Jamel aka Jamal actually isn't just playing the song to cash on it with facial expressions.
He's got the charisma that I actually want to hear his reaction. My friends already like Primus. I like to see a stranger groove to the music I like.
i personal relate Primus with Alejandro Jodorowsky directly linked... period
