it’s actually a super easy baseline les clay pool is such a legend he makes easy things look difficult but in reality it’s just quality music, if you think this is something watch him play jerry was a racecar driver
Give the bass all the credit you want but that guitar work and tone is absolutely sick. Throw in a monster drummer and this is why Primus is so good. Each and every member is a master of their craft.
These guys weren't that known, and there were loads and loads of good rockbands.. Just think Metallica then and GnR. They sold out bigger than NFL and the Olympics
Yes they did. Everyone back then knew how awesome it was to be alive with such great music around. Like everything was awesome. And it was pretty obvious.
The best supergroup of all time would be: Maynard James Keenan - vocals Serj Tankian - vocals Larry LaLonde - lead guitar Daron Malakian - rhythm guitar Les Claypool - bass Danny Carey - drums I' do anything to make it come true.
In 1993 , nobody ever heard a song like this before. l camped out in front of my local record store along with 30 other people waiting to get the new Primus CD. What a great time to be alive.
I agree. I’d only heard of Les Claypool from reading bass magazine before I heard him play or heard of Primus. This was the first Primus song Id heard. I saw the music video. 🤯🤯🤯. I went out and bought Pork Soda immediately.
I bought it when I was in college and the first time I played it my roommate thought I was a nut but it really made me appreciate the weird (or forgotten and lame) side of music for the first time. I'm still on that path and I'm in my 50's.
I can't play a straight bass line without staring at my left hand with my tongue hanging out in concentration. Les plays the worlds hardest basslines in odd time signatures while eyeballing the audience and singing, before strutting around the stage like an R Crumb comic character. A genius.
imagine 1 second. now start a sentence 1/7th into that second. Now snap your drum 7 times per second, and start saying your sentence on the second snap. It may be complex, but it's still rational.
dude i was looking through the comments for this, i was gonna say something if i didnt see anything with Ed Norton mentioned. hahaha i thought the exact same thing
Not sure people understand how consistent this song is played and what it actually requires as far as timing. Les is a true artist and genius. Very ahead of his time.
Not only staying in sync through each bar, but counting them while playing to know exactly when to stop on the last beat is unreal. You can see the sheer concentration required for that feat on the drummer's face, amazing
You'd be surprised how much music one can memorize after writing and playing 1000 times . Not to mention physical cues . It's really not that big of a deal , to musicians.
I’m sure there are vocal cues coming over their ear piece also to help with timing that down but still impressive. Primus will always be that unique, raw music that reaches a different part of you. Legends …..
Primus was my favourite band in the 90s I remember I stole sailing the seas of cheese from my sister who's 7 years older. All the other kids my age were listening to spice girls backstreet boys and I was rocking out to these guys.
The cool of Primus is that the crowd is very variated, in the side of long hair guy headbanging is a guy with clothes that people use when they go to Oxford University
Yeah, Officer Doofy. Nah, that's somebody's Landlord who took their Concert Tickets in lieu of Rent. He took BOTH tickets but only used one, and got black out drunk and sxually harrassed over a dozen Girls at this concert, then he got beat up in the parking lot and passed out behind the Dumpsters.
Hail les all day but Larry laLonde doesn’t get the praise he deserves . Soooo damn creative . Perfect accompaniment to Les . All three of these dudes compliment each other so well.
I have to agree with a previous post. Between 9 seconds and 11 seconds in is the sickest and absolutely the BEST BASS rift ever recorded!!! And the one woman. The brunette she really got the vibes from the music!!! Primus!!! One of the BEST bands EVER!!! To date!!!
Couldn't agree more about the intro to this song!! And I, too, am loving how the brunette has "synched" with the bass's every phrase, ragdolling her head around perfectly, showing she's been "transported!"
All I wanted to do is wake up this morning and start my day off with some live Primus. Mission accomplished!!!! I have a feeling that today is going to be pretty darn close to the best day ever!!!! Just feels right!
Top live pick. The 3 of them are absolutely banging on this one! But never seen primus not on target, last tour was just as good if not better that ever, playd all the old favorites!
Still remember being part of the live shoot for the Jerry Was a Race Car Driver video like it was yesterday. After hours of filming the same song over and over, they still played us about an hour and a half show, amazing
Brain is probably my favorite drummer of all the drummers that have played with Primus full-time. I enjoy watching his facial expressions as he's concentrating. And he's got a great pocket when he settles into it.🙂🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Aloha amigos. Once upon a time, in a Universe a long time ago, the 80s, myself and band, played at People's Park, Berkeley, CA. Mother's Day, 1989.. This up and coming band opened for us. Primus. They rocked. What a band they turned out to be... The Atomik sends. Peace ✌. 😊
I've never seen les dressed so normally
Big change from the music video lol😂😂😂😂
everyone else that played at the event dressed up as clowns so he is actually out of place.
I almost thought this was Les’ Mexican cholo cousin 🤔🤔😂😂
His dress is part of what makes this so great
ikr
I still can't get over how he can play such an aggressive bass line and sing at the same time and just look chill.
Ah! Singing - so that's what that strange noise was!
Acid
He's not "just" doing that. That's tough stuff
Weed

Mud in the video clip: played by Christian Bale

concur. Drummer is on.
Are you serious dude, this is awful.

The man at 1:03 looks violent
Gorguts - Obscura, check that album
Matias Clavell it made me nut durig november
The 90’s were so good. That crowd doesn’t know how good they have it.
These guys weren't that known, and there were loads and loads of good rockbands..
Just think Metallica then and GnR. They sold out bigger than NFL and the Olympics
They didn’t make very good songs but they played their instruments well.
Exactly my thoughts
Bosnians, Yugoslavians and Russians did not have it good in the 90s. Quite the opposite in fact.
Yes they did.
Everyone back then knew how awesome it was to be alive with such great music around. Like everything was awesome. And it was pretty obvious.
Les looks like he's in System Of A Down
Metalkid1500 Him and Serj could actually pull something off if they really wanted to
He should be
He looks like a fusion of Serg and Daron
+MetalKid1500 Looks like he wasn't sure if he was Mike Patton or Serj Tankian
The best supergroup of all time would be:
Maynard James Keenan - vocals
Serj Tankian - vocals
Larry LaLonde - lead guitar
Daron Malakian - rhythm guitar
Les Claypool - bass
Danny Carey - drums
I' do anything to make it come true.

Blew me away, couldn't believe anyone could make a song like this either!!! Song good stoned af
@icankillbugs this shit is fire bro! Has been since the day it was made! One of a kind.
I was in 3rd grade and they played this on the local alternative radio stations all the time. Was lucky to be able to hear them just bc of that

This song is all 4/4 it just sounds kinda wonky
I laughed out loud at the comparison of Les and an R Crumb 'toon... too accurate
imagine 1 second. now start a sentence 1/7th into that second. Now snap your drum 7 times per second, and start saying your sentence on the second snap. It may be complex, but it's still rational.
1:54 This guy is really catching them Primus vibes, I like that
he's got the Primus Palsy
@@madam_im_adam 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Freaker by the speaker 🔊
and behind him is cody rhodes
There use of silence is under fucking rated. It’s hypnotic and artistic af.
Right!!! Like around 3:50 just so good
Seen Victor Wooten and jd Blair do measure pauses and the beat honestly kept going it was unforgettable.
The ct bass sure clunking away in this one
Where? Oh, over there? That silence over there? That one?
The showmanship of this genre...👌
(underrated)
It’s the space between the notes that makes all music
2:07 Larry flicks the E string with his pinkie just to fix the ways he’s holding the pick
Excellent eye, wow what a level of finesse that was.
i like when les plays something heavy and he just starts marching, les is such a legend
Edward Norton is killing it on bass
dude i was looking through the comments for this, i was gonna say something if i didnt see anything with Ed Norton mentioned. hahaha i thought the exact same thing
You mean Mike Patton from faith no more
😂
Ed Norton...lmfao!!!
Ikr lol
Not sure people understand how consistent this song is played and what it actually requires as far as timing. Les is a true artist and genius. Very ahead of his time.
Team Lers
How the heck did the drummer know when to stop at the exact time at the end?
You're not as clever as you think you are 🖕
How can an human being could have a bass sound like this, it's incredible. So coool
That's because it is not a human
It’s the Funk. He’s in touch with the Funk. Check out Bootsie Collins if you like hard core bass playing.
@@jimerex2619 No his name is Mud
It’s just experimentation with sounds
He’s not Human.
The way they drag the last beat late at around 3:45 is incredible, such a tight performance
Came here looking for this comment. Absolutely amazing.
THE CROWD LOOKS SO AKWARD.
Well, you know what kinda music they listen to
it's Primus dude
That is cause you’re a millenial. You’re last word tells the story. Listen to thr music mate.
@@zachdahlgren1027 David Hassellhoff, remember how big they are into his...um, music? That answers it for me.
It’s either primus fans tweaked out of there mind having fun or regular people just wondering what there listening to

Looked like Les was fucking with him n he did the bass part way longer on purpose n drummer looked like he stopped it finally lol
0:20 the ad-libbed "Huh" just added a whole lot more than there already was to the song. It was just a great fit.
Absolutely--comedic, relaxed and a "call to arms" all at the same, succinct time.
On the tweek again - Primus: Les does the “HUH” a lot, you’ll love it!
This crowd is super calm. I saw them in 1996 and the pit was insane
I looked at the lineup of this festival - reef, primus, phish and Steve winwood all played on that Sunday and it shows
I drink my wiiiiine
Those sounds the guitarist makes is incredible
Bluesy evil tone ! 10/10
My name is M.U.D. 30 year old mud. But this song will never dry out and crack. Timeless talent.
Very well said!
I love the march Les does around the stage while playing My Name is Mud
I walk like that all the time
I think Les’s comedic style disguises the genius in their music , amazingly talented and completely down to earth,what legends they are ❤️🙏💥🥷
Wow literally everyone there is on every drug
I think, either LSD, Weed, Tranqs (tranquilizers), and maybe heroin, being the main drugs he-wait, when did primus start playing at raves
Coca in the late 90s
No, heroin.
I was there and for some reason after someone put a drop on my tongue there was a bright light following me around the rest of the weekend
😂
Was blessed to see Primus at Aragon brawlroom chicago in mid 90's , room was crazy, great show!
Les dressed this way to he could go straight to church after and wouldnt have to change.
What a nice boy. So good to his mother too. Tithes regularly.
Or dressed to drink a beer in his front lawn 😂
This was a church service lol
More like the mall.
It's funny that this concert actually was on a Sunday 😂
I've never seen such a diverse group of characters as that audiance. I miss the early 90s they were the jam. Golden age of tunes
The 90s had some of the best underrated music of all time.
And LOTS over overrated crap too.
Best music period.
Agreed Chevy girl. This crap ain’t it though
Haha no
90s music>>>>>>60s/70s/80s music combined
This audio is really good. Someone did their due diligence tuning up that mic. It's perfect.
This is the track that inspired me to learn bass. Pork Soda was light years ahead of its time.
Same I’ve played for 5 months now because of this video and am in the process of getting a 6 stringer
(I play a 4 stringer)
Most bands have a bass player
Primus is a bass player with a band
@@Ross_gitar_bas maybe just play with the 4 string for a few years. Even les hardly ever brings out the 6 anymore.
In my case, listening to Primus made me drop bass.
@@jrhayes6901haha yup
cudowny! Jeden z najwspanialszych basistów wszechczasów...
Tim is one of the most underrated percussionists.
that ain't Tim, that's Brain
This is not Tim
This is Brain dude. Equally underrated.
This comment went over everyone's heads
No way
All fans know Primus is a 3 virtuosos band
Primus was my favourite band in the 90s I remember I stole sailing the seas of cheese from my sister who's 7 years older. All the other kids my age were listening to spice girls backstreet boys and I was rocking out to these guys.
wow serj can play bass well
He looks more like John
He looks a lot like John
I wish I could go back to 1997 and stay there. Our music was so much better back then.
The cool of Primus is that the crowd is very variated, in the side of long hair guy headbanging is a guy with clothes that people use when they go to Oxford University
I absolutely love these crazy people. If we had these guys in the 70’s, they’d now be legends now.
That bass sounds sharp and painful, like someone smashing an old rusty bike. I love it.
Great description!
I feel like it's two old, dented, galvanized steel garbage can lids--banging together like giant symbols.
I think it sounds like an old pickup truck idling, heh.
Example -- th-cam.com/video/WVX11jMlRWs/w-d-xo.html
I feel sorry for people who didn't get to experience the 90s
Yep, you can see the effects. Bunch of snowflakes
I couldn’t agree more.
It was a rough come up but the peak seemed to last forever.
I did at the Cains Ballroom in Tulsa in 97 and Les created what felt like an earthquake with that bass lol.
Had an amazing childhood that decade
1:07 I spy a cop
Yeah very cunning undercover. But it's Ron Swanson
That guy is definitely not having fun 😂
Nah, dad just chaperoning his daughter
Nah, he was vibing
Yeah, Officer Doofy.
Nah, that's somebody's Landlord
who took their Concert Tickets
in lieu of Rent. He took BOTH tickets but only used one, and got black out drunk and sxually harrassed over a dozen Girls
at this concert, then he got beat up in the parking lot and passed out behind the Dumpsters.
I grew up with Primus and love their music. I struggle with it because although I enjoy it, it leaves my soul feeling "icky". IDK, rock on!
it blows my mind how fucking good this song is
I love it when Les does the "keep on truckin" stroll around the stage.
Good song to listen to while drinking a beer.
I drink my wine
With ya here
@@ivans.191 most the time
eu to tomando COROTE
I was when i used to drink lol
I saw Primus during this time. It was amazing.
Edward Norton sure knows how to play bass!
What a phenomenal performance by Primus! Thanx for the music & the good times!
That bass is aggressive as hell.
What a strange but absolutely brilliant song.
Sums it right up
They are amazing live is sounds exactly like the recording
It's changed my whole day watching this... I saw them that year.... they sound huge live... 😮
this song is a great story.
Hail les all day but Larry laLonde doesn’t get the praise he deserves . Soooo damn creative . Perfect accompaniment to Les . All three of these dudes compliment each other so well.
1:36 Oh thanks Rockpalast
A bit late
why tell us the name of the song 1 minute after it started
The bass brightness is louder than my whole existence
The guitar players hair sums up the 90s. Completely.
But now all the balcks have that hair style.
Man this video is as 90s as it gets....I miss those days
The way les bounces around while playing is amazing
I swear, Les never ceases to impress me with his playing.
here Les looks like a chemistry teacher enjoying his side job.
I’ve never seen such an respectful crowd. Much love
How did I miss this brilliance from those days?
Beautiful song. ❤ Primus.

It’s both at the same time lol
Throw out everything you thought you knew about music and you get these 3 geniuses. god bless
God I miss the 90's.
I remember finding primus around 2006 and I could not believe I had never heard them before, they ungodly talented and unique
Les definitely is one of the great bassist
Definitely creative as hell but there are players far beyond his skills. Even he would tell you that
not as good as Krist Novoselic 😅
The speaker cabinets behind these guys were insane. mad props.
I’m amazed that Les had his key rings on his waist while playing
Ikr... like hes not just there to perform... hes also the custodian.
Holy shit didn’t even notice that haha
Top live pick. The 3 of them are absolutely banging on this one! But never seen primus not on target, last tour was just as good if not better that ever, playd all the old favorites!
1997 and the guitarist looks like a modern day teenager who would vape while listening to mumble rap, yet he's playing the sickest riffs ever
Yeah that's larry

Still remember being part of the live shoot for the Jerry Was a Race Car Driver video like it was yesterday. After hours of filming the same song over and over, they still played us about an hour and a half show, amazing
The guitar player is amazing aswell. This is just a badass band. They're all pros.
How in the world a bass could carry that noise.........it is 10/10 combined with the guitar bends
What i would give to go back to 1997...
Brain is probably my favorite drummer of all the drummers that have played with Primus full-time. I enjoy watching his facial expressions as he's concentrating. And he's got a great pocket when he settles into it.🙂🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Insane talent. One of my ultimate faves for sure.
I love when Les does his duck walk after a fat bass lick. Guy is such a hero!
Gotta say. I love Primus shows. In the 90’s and I’ll go tomorrow if they had one.
90s we’re a good time to grow up
This entire video: the crowd, Les, the band, the music. It’s all just a fever dream and I’m here for it
Les is seriously the best bass player of all time, he’s a fuckin genius!
My favorite 3 piece of all time
The old couple at 1:07 is like "WTF are we watching?"
Aloha amigos. Once upon a time, in a Universe a long time ago, the 80s, myself and band, played at People's Park, Berkeley, CA. Mother's Day, 1989.. This up and coming band opened for us. Primus. They rocked. What a band they turned out to be... The Atomik sends. Peace ✌. 😊
That was a good show
At 1:01, all of the people look like they’re gonna fall asleep and they’re not impressed.
The bass sounded surprisingly good in this video actually.
Psychedelics. 90% of them are on acid or shrooms.
They were told Barbara Streisand was performing.
The guy at 1:54 is such a dad.
Acid
Looks like Bowie
I love the studio version because of how distortioned their instruments are . But Les's bass is.....so soo good
Bad ass song🎵🎙🥁🥁🎸🎸🎶ending was great.
