    I don’t know if you will do bass interviews at some point but I feel Les would definitely be the guy who would agree to talk to you if you reached out to him about his bass playing over the years and basses he’s used. Might wanna go through more of their discography first but eventually maybe could try for an interview.

    Frizzle Fry is my fave Primus album. It just does IT for me--probably because it has more "hard" edge to it vs their later work. . Herb is one of my absolute all time favorite drummers. The fills and licks and groove are all-time champions. Still can't believe he suffered a stroke at one point. One of my other favorite drummers, Ken Owen from Carcass, suffered a debilitating stroke. Go figure.

To see this man perform live is something to truly behold.. he does all the bass trickery while dancing and strutting in tight circles AND singing some of the most complex rythmic patterns know to man.

    I personally think DMV is underrated. One thing you have to remember is the setup of his custom bass. Low action, thin neck, Slinkies, etc. That's how he can switch pluck styles effortlessly throughout. He even just taps the strings against the frets and pickups sometimes. Amazing sound management.

    This is their record label debut. The preceding original Primus lineup and songs can be heard on Sausage album Riddles are Abound Tonight. It's a bit more funky sound and definitely worth of checking out.

    • @ARNervebag
      @ARNervebag 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Respectfully, I think this is indeed their debut studio record. Live album "Suck on This" had a limited release the year before. I think the original lineup to which you alluded only made a demo, and the songs that appear under the band name 'Sausage' on the 'Riddles...' album are reworked and re-recorded versions, so they were actually recorded a number of years after Frizzle Fry.

    • @timakimat
      @timakimat 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @@ARNervebag You are correct in this, and I didn't mean that Frizzle Fry wouldn't be their studio album debut. It took some time for them to get a record deal in the first place, and their sound changed quite a bit after their early lineup changes. Sausage is pretty close to the sound of the early demos. I think it's worth checking out too.

    Knowing that The Residents were a big influence on them (to the point that the remastered version of Frizzle Fry has a cover of Hello Skinny and Constantinople that was originally recorded in 1990) I think explains a lot of this aspect you are describing here about the way this song and many of their others are harmonically constructed.

    Fyi, Herb took his first of two breaks from Primus before Brown Album was recorded. You'll hear Brian "Brain" Mantia on that one. Quite a different feel to it. He's a good drummer, it's a good album, but there's only one Herb.

      Totally agree.. it's cliche to refer to a band's early work as their best. I'm not sure it's their best work but it's the most iconic and nostalgic for a lot of people. It reminds me of driving around all summer in Michigan with my brother and mom in 1994. She let us pick out a few cassettes at the outlet mall. My brother picked frizzle fry and Sabbath's paranoid. I grabbed rancid and Bad Religion'. We wore those tapes out after a few months of nonstop play. Props to my mom for enduring our constant desire to hear noise.

    My wife did her doctoral thesis in clinical psychology on music and expectation. How even people without any training expect very specific outcomes based on the previous notes. She can't listen to primus because of how much they leave unresolved. I think it is interesting and when combined with their really odd rhythms it creates something completely unique that i can't hear anywhere else. I have seen them live and i am blown away that they do any of that for real. It isn't just a bunch of nerds standing their playing either. They get into it.

      It really is. Hearing it a few more times now, the guitar actually dances around 'D' long before Les does. When they finally did play the note D, it didn't sound right, and was yet another passing tone to C#. It's just the way I heard it personally, but is a cool sort of "musical misdirection" to me.

    Herb's drumming here is very cool because the verse is driven by the bass groove and guitar punches while Herb's playing is throwing in splashes here and there to capture the listeners attention. He's doing flourishes and licks around the groove and drawing just the right amount of focus and anticipation. While he kind of repeats phrases, he's largely just punching where he feels in the moment. His parts aren't etched in stone. He doesn't play this song the same way twice. The "Suck on This" version of this song really captured my young brain as he's even more aggressive on that recording.

    That drum fill you stopped on is nearly identical to what he plays as a main rhythm for "My Name Is Mud." I did an online class with Tim Alexander last year, and he showed us that. I always want to play that triplet floor tom and two kicks, but Tim actually does it kick-kick-tom.

      Great point, I kind of remember that when I did an episode for that song! He has really unique patterns, I just remember something from "Southbound Pachyderm" being like an all-kick-drum type of thing. It could've been similar to what you're referencing. Either way, it really stood out to me!

      ​@@LowEndUniversity no doubt! I remember hearing this song in high school when I was learning drums, and skipping study hall to go into the band room to try and replicate it.

    I love frizzle fry. Pudding time was the first song I heard by them. That album is the reason I started playing bass

    My favorite drumming from Herb is Mr. Knowitall from this same album. I don’t think it was a single, but absolutely gold. Verrrry interesting on bass too

    Yes, you want to start with "Uncle Walter", his rock solid "party swinger" ( "One Angry Dwarf ..." is a close second).
    I like the full gig Bonnaroo 2012 (Webcast) video for its sound.

    Another band with bass whammy is Casiopea. Way different music, but some crazy stuff (the song Rare One in N.Y. has a brutal bass solo.)

    He's not playing bass, he's "claypooling"! 😉
    Thanks a lot for the video!
    Btw: There's an awesome interview on yt with Matt Freeman (Rancid) and
    Mike Dirnt (Green Day)...

    9:06 thing is the same riff he uses in "riddles are abound tonight" on Sausage album I just realized.

  • @natewebb8106
    @natewebb8106 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +8

    9:13 if you're wondering why it doesn't resolve, consider thinking of it in a jazz progression sense where it doesn't start and end on the I chord 🤷

      to me it doesn't feel like it doesn't resolve. it's just a riff and kinda atonal anyway so to me it sounds fine.

    “Shake Hands With Beef” is good, but I think “Over The Falls” is more interesting and more different than anything of theirs that you’ve covered. I think it would be more fun for you to hear Les’s upright chops and see what Primus’s take on an acoustic song is like.
