Seas of Cheese is classic. Literally, every track, from front to back is a banger. All killer, no filler. Well, except for the couple skits and whatnot, but they go so well with everything else that it just works.
Literally just got home from Maynards 60th bday show with APC, Puscifer, and Primus. They all came to play this one together towards the end. Had to come home n listen to more Primus, and this is what I find 🤘
I saw this show in Nashville/Franklin TN. I have never seen Primus live until then. They are amazing live. I feel like they stole the show. I'm a huge Maynard fan too.
@@Kobra7049 I was also at the Franklin show. Loved all three bands, but I agree, Primus was the highlight. Going to see them again in Birmingham later this year.
Yeah, the counter point guitar tapping over a slap line in Nutbutter is wild. While the band members might disagree, both this album and Anti-pop are my favorite. Some very rock- epic type stuff on those albums.
Punchbowl was very much when Primus started to drift from the metal influences that guided large parts of the first 3 albums (particularly funk-thrash debut Frizzle Fry) and lean more into their progressive rock influences. They weren't so much funk metal as prog funk on this album onwards (aside from Antipop which, while an excellent album, was largely driven by label pressure to capitalise on the nu metal movement).
I have seen Primus over 4 times. This is one of the hardest songs to replicate. I remember the first time I saw them. I wanted to be in the front row, in the center right where Les would be, pressed up against the barricade. I couldn't do it, I was on the left side pressed against the barricade. The curtains opened, and Les was 3 feet away from me. His index finger never stops playing the A string. You have to keep the A string and that steady rhythm while using your other fingers to play the other parts. One of the hardest things in bass I was able to get my fingers to do. These guys are awesome and have so many great songs, and they are all so different but they all sound like Primus
I'm in Kalamazoo, and I saw them when they played our State Theater in 2015. 'South Bound Pacaderm' was great and then assumed they'd do "Kalamazoo." He tried but couldn't remember how it went, so they were not able to play it 😄 'Too Many Puppies' is another favorite, that would be cool to cover here too 🤘
I once read that for a 4 string bass, Les strings it AAGG (with two A strings and two G strings, but tuned EADG). I tried that and realized it makes it easier to strum chords the way he does, but also creates that wet, sludgy sound he so often has. I guess he does that on the 6 string as well, but I think I only read about the 4 string.
Never heard this song, but continues to be amazed by the folks who vote on your channel, I hardly ever been disappointed by their choices and another interesting choice which I thoroughly enjoyed!
This is hands down my favorite Primus song and my favorite to play along with. It’s always fun to hear you break down a song I’ve been listening to for years
Primus has a lot of these types of tunes. Check out "Over the Electric Grapevine" and "The Ol Diamond Back Sturgeon". Both are super trippy and droney.
The more Primus you listen to, the more you begin to realize that it's all but impossible to nail them and their work down to just one style. It's all over the place, and as out of control and wild as some of it is, there is ALWAYS a method to the madness. Each instrument is it's own voice, including Les' own voice itself. I love how the chaos fits together so nicely. In a way it reminds me of some of the mathcore I'm into, and what I mean by that is if you took one piece and isolated it, it might not sound like what most people would recognize as a song. However, when everything comes together it just makes sense. That's probably my favorite thing about Primus and Les Claypool in general. Everything he touches becomes wild and wonderful and interesting and attention-grabbing.
I don't know if they are still listed like this, but, a few years ago, they would list which genre of music a band was: rock, country, bluegrass, techno, etc. But with Primus they were just listed as "Primus" because they didn't fit any category.
@@scottbubb2946 They are the only band that has their on ID3 tag (number 108) which is used in the MP3 format for metadata. That has been used since they slapped the llamas ass (winamp times, late 90's)
I'm glad you recognized Tim's drumming in this song. Personally, I'm a drummer and always get excited when you take note of good drumming. The dynamics alone in the drumming for this track just show how unique and creative Tim really is.
You have a really prodigious skill with applying your vocabulary, to describe what you're hearing. You're like an audio book, telling the story of a song. Super impressive. You really illustrate all of the subtle details.
Love this song.. my favorite section begins at around 1:50 in your video here.. when those additional notes come in.. the ambience has an almost 'floaty' psychedelic feel to it.. always raises the goosebumps on my arms. Certain musical tones or drum patterns tend to do this to me and this is one.
Fitting this video comes out, considering I'll be seeing them live next week. This song reminds me a bit of the intro from Holiday in Cambodia, which Primus are also known to cover from time to time.
You absolutely should check out Victims Family. They used to tour with Primus and are also from San Francisco. Larry Boothroyd is an incredible bass player and Ralph Spite is one of my favorite guitarists. Incredible band. If you want to check out a very different sounding Primus Frizzle Fry is probably worth checking out.
I’m so glad so many people voted for this one, which is one of my favorites! There is a live show in Chicago I think with an EPIC drum solo in there, great stage backdrop, and good sound. Such a good track 👍👍👍
Wonderful analysis - as a musician/Primus fan I really appreciated your reaction. This album, Tales from the Punchbowl, is more atmospheric and psychedelic than what came before, and it really shows on his track. The recording process was interesting: Les & Tim wrote & laid down all the rhythm tracks first and then LaLonde came in blind and had to come up with parts lol!
I used to do a lot of psychedelics while listening to Primus in my early 20s, and the whistle at the beginning of this song always made me look around like "who the hell's in my house?" 😂
This whole record is a banger. I bought a Carvin LB75 fretless brand new the same year this record came out and it always reminds me of that bass because I spend the year learning this record. Mrs. Blaileen is my favorite song , killer tone.
Literally cried to this song at a Primus show a few years back. That kick/tom fill at the end is just incredible, Herb is an insane drummer and he pulls out all the stops here. For more of their more mellow/intense stuff, try The Ol’ Diamond Back Sturgeon or Bob from Pork Soda. Sturgeon has the musical interpretation of catching a fish in the form of a bass solo. Wild.
I bought Tales from the Punch Bowl when it released, I loved the CD. When this song came on I went from loving Primus to them being my favorite band. I can listen to this song on loop for hours... and have.
I just seen them do this live on the Sessanta tour couple weekends ago in Nashville! Soooooo good! I recommend Lacquer Head off the Anti-pop album and then there’s the Green Naugahyde album I believe that has a lot of good ones on it such as Extinction Burst and Eternal Consumption Engine
This is the song that first got me into Primus. I don't think it has ever occurred to me before, but there's a lot of similarity here to some of the darker Doors songs, especially in the guitar, and I was super into that band when this album came out. Funny how things click with you years later.
You have to catch them live. Its absolutely incredible. Might be the best band ive ever heard live. Theyre one of those rare bands that sound better live.
"it's like a solo bass piece" that's why I always used to play this at open mics. Nearly impossible to find drummers or guitarists that know any Primus but this song works so well solo
As someone whose never been able to truly connect with Primus, this song has always been one of my favorites, Primus or otherwise. Killer tune with a killer mood
my personal recommendation for songs would be professor nutbutter, dmv, hamburger train, is it luck, wynona's big brown beaver, fish on fish on and hamburger train probably have the most stuff going on to analyse and i would love to see an in depth breakdown, like maybe even showing how to play the songs in detail
I'm so happy this won. Definitely my favorite Primus song. Check out the live version he does with Sean Lennon (John's son) at Austin as the Claypool Lennon Delirium.
I have been a failed bassist for more years than I care to remember, I ran to the shelter of rhythm guitar in an acoustic band. I discovered Les early this year and have become obsessed by him. I am in the throes of getting a bass guitar again......
Les is such an amazing player, he is on most songs the lead guitar,,, the band both follows but at times expands on his playing,, it's one of the things makes Primus unique 👍
You had the Desaturating Seven album on here and if you’re looking for videos that really go with the music, this is one of their best: The Seven. The video is very tripped out and the music is over the top at the same time!
was in in wiena on their concert, man when they started to play this song intro was much longer though,everybody started to hum this, it was inasenly good
Antipop - Dirty Drowning Man, it has these sliding chords, slap, then these really weird long holds, that climb way up hight then down low and up again, back to some super laid back slap, then energetic slap that is a longform riff, so dope
There's an incredible bass player in a band called Seven Spires. Their latest single "Architect of Creation" has him absolutely shredding on the bass at one point. People react mostly to the vocalist of Seven Spires because she's fantastic, but it would be cool to see reactors with different musical specialties give them a shot! They're all Berklee-educated/trained and extremely dedicated to their crafts.
Great video! If you’re interested, in more of this kind of melodic side of Les Claypool, you should check out his solo project, the flying frog brigade! great stuff, really out there with virtuoso bass playing, of course. The song “Cosmic Highway” is a great entry point, as is “Barrington Hall”. Happy listening!
American life The Toys go winding down To defy the laws of tradion Mr krinkle Lacquer head Professor nutbutters house of treats- is a monster song Theres so many songs i have to modify my 4 string till i get to a 5 or dare try a 6 along with fretless all witch les uses a lot
I really think you would love their Green Naugahyde album... Hennepin Crawler has my favorite bass solo(basically a real guitar solo just on bass not slap) and Trajedy's a Comin has really amazing guitar parts along with the bass
I’m sad you didn’t do Hamburger Train but I hope you’ll come back around to it at some point . This song is one of the first Primus songs I learned on bass so it’s special too. Golden boy is also good. Kalamazoo as well as others mentioned
Just saw them live for the first time for Maynard’s 60th birthday celebration, what an insane and incredible show! Not a stationary person in the audience during Primus’ sets!
When this album came out I thought it was the best one yet and still hold it in high regard. I kind of view this album like Crack the Skye, where both bands seemed to just say, "Let's smoke some good herb and see what we can get into." Both bonkers albums that just work for me.
Oh snap, really? Must have missed that!! Is it for the whole tour? I've been eyeing which dates to try to catch on that one! Coheed are one of my favorite bands I've seen live many times already too!
@@LowEndUniversity I remember about C&C 😁. I have the C&C VIP/Meet & greet pass 😉 Fishbone is on the final leg of the tour. 8/8 - 8/17. Basically from VA, North. If you're able to go...I'll be at the Richmond, VA show! Would love to hang with ya 😊
@@LowEndUniversityalso... We got a 12 minute jam version of this song at the Raleigh date on the Sessanta tour. I culminated with a 3 way improve drum jam session with Tim, Josh Freese (A Perfect Circle) & Gunner Olsen (Puscifer) I haven't seen anything that cool since Jane's Addiction's performance of 3 Days on Lollapalooza '91 😲
This album has quite a few tracks that lean more in this kind of direction. This is the kind of thing we get when Primus decides to get a little more musically serious. Also love 'Hellbound 17 1/2' and 'Over the Electric Grapevine', but really the whole album is excellent.
There are some great live versions of this floating around on TH-cam, my favorite is the 12-31-2017 in Oakland with Danny Carey, or the 2004 complete version.
Should I do a full Primus album on Patreon?...🤔
You should do all the Primus albums. Could teach a whole course on them alone.
It's going to be hard to pick just one because there's incredibly interesting stuff on just about every single one.
@@neilprete918 i dont think he can play all of them

Yes!
Over The Electric Grapevine has an extremely similar feel to this song and is also on Punchbowl. Tim’s drumming on the outro of that song is insane
Stunning song. There's some amazing liver versions too.
th-cam.com/video/eCKLX1wLXyo/w-d-xo.htmlsi=FaWTc_PDrZzXEYBB
Oh man over the electric grape vine is awesome.
One of my favourites to jam out on bass
came here to recommend Over the Electric Grapevine, one of my favorite Primus tracks
Tales From The Punchbowl brings me back to a special time in my life.
Shake hands with beef is an amazing song by primus the percussive aspects of Les's bass is phenomenal 👌. A must listen 🎶
That was the first primus song I played that my friends "got"
Shake hands is one of my favorites
The first track off this album, Professor Nutbutter's House of Treats, is a pretty insane one with the bass work. Anywho, Great video as always!
That's the first Primus song I ever heard. The memory is etched in my brain.
I really like the guitar on P. Nutbutter's H.O.T. as well. One of my favorite "Larry moments." Along with Hamburger Train.
Literally just got home from Maynards 60th bday show with APC, Puscifer, and Primus. They all came to play this one together towards the end. Had to come home n listen to more Primus, and this is what I find 🤘

Daaaaaaamn. Was it in Arizona?
I saw this show in Nashville/Franklin TN. I have never seen Primus live until then. They are amazing live. I feel like they stole the show. I'm a huge Maynard fan too.
They played this in LA and it was amazing. Seen this song live 4 times now, always good
@@Kobra7049 I was also at the Franklin show. Loved all three bands, but I agree, Primus was the highlight. Going to see them again in Birmingham later this year.
If you really like this more mellow sound Primus has, you HAVE to listen to more stuff of this album (Tales from the Punchbowl)
I’m very intrigued! 🧐
@@LowEndUniversity Nutbutter is *very* crunchy, and quirky. A nice reggae section and the drumming is bonkers.

“Kalamazoo” is one of my favorites of theirs. Very underrated.
I love Kalamazoo, is one of my favourites.
Brown Album is their best.
Love the brown album

Diamond Back is great, I have the solo almost memorized
Yeah sturgeon is unforgettable
I just saw them play this for Maynard James Keenan’s Sessanta tour. This is my favorite Primus track and it was played to perfection.
Same! They killed it.
I'm so excited to hear this. It's my favorite Primus song and I'm going to see Sessanta next week in Colorado. Looking forward to it.
yes! same! was great!
The Seven from The Desaturating Seven has such catchy bass lines which range from the usual punchy strumming to a more melodic fill into a funky jam

herb was born to play drums with les. a perfect combo.
You should react to Morphine. The singer Mark Sandman plays a two-string slide bass.
Les Claypool is also a big fan of his.
It’s coming next month!!
Thank you
RIP to Mark Sandman, saw them in the 90's at Roskilde festival in the middle of the night, what an incredible concert that was.
O.K. Now you have to do Mr. Krinkle
Thank you! So many more to explore!
Agreed 💯
i would argue that mr krinkle isn't as interesting instrument wise as other songs, it's rather simple and repetitive
@@salty_3k506 the video is spectacular though, fair trade off but perhaps not for this chanel
That's upright bass, right? Would he want to cover that?

Another great video! You and Primus both rock.
he doesnt stop strumming that low A, ive seen it live, he keeps that time on the low note going throughout, while playing the higher stuff. it's wild.
This brings back memories of learning how to play the song with bass tablature from South guitar player magazine
You might want to check out The Claypool Lennon Delirium too.
Agreed, Shaun Lennon guitar playing is outstanding and of course he sounds like dad
Dude you are gonna make me end up getting a Jackson five string like the versatility you have demonstrated with that bass has just really surprised me
Wonderful analysis - as a musician/Primus fan I really appreciated your reaction.

The recording process was interesting: Les & Tim wrote & laid down all the rhythm tracks first and then LaLonde came in blind and had to come up with parts lol!
On a crazy opposite end of the spectrum, you have to do "Over the Falls" at some point by them or "Jilly's On Smack" Les plays an upright in both.

Primus - Natural Joe
When I first started learning how to play guitar this song was key for me to starting how to understand music. Song is brilliant.
Excellent analysis!
I just seen them do this live on the Sessanta tour couple weekends ago in Nashville! Soooooo good!
I recommend Lacquer Head off the Anti-pop album and then there’s the Green Naugahyde album I believe that has a lot of good ones on it such as Extinction Burst and Eternal Consumption Engine
Lee Van Cleef from Green Naugahide is a great one too

This is the song that made me dive deeper into Primus -- prior to this, I had only really heard their singles
Kalamazoo, Frizzle fry, Natural joe, To defy the laws of tradition. Those are some of my favourites
I learned to play this song when it was released. Still today, you should see the folks at the music store when i give it a play through!

Punchbowl has been my favorite Primus album. It’s the most varied. Each song sounds completely different from each other. Love it.

Right?! I dig their usual sound, but this really grabbed me, full stop.
Just saw them live for the first time for Maynard’s 60th birthday celebration, what an insane and incredible show! Not a stationary person in the audience during Primus’ sets!
Yes, what a great show! Sessanta in PHX for me. Still nodding my head
Would love to see you check out shake hands with beef..it has this great thick sound thats ao cool
Would love to hear your thoughts on ol diamond back sturgeon. Imo its a masterpiece of bass work
The chemistry Les, Ler and Herb can only be compared to Rush. Each musician is a master of their craft. Saw them 5 times and they're outstanding.
I think les used " hash brown ' effects pedal ? It has a wavy low tone,I play it just basic af just to get bye!! Awesome song!!!
My favorite primus song. It's incredible live.
When this album came out I thought it was the best one yet and still hold it in high regard.
I kind of view this album like Crack the Skye, where both bands seemed to just say, "Let's smoke some good herb and see what we can get into."
Both bonkers albums that just work for me.
Nice, I obsessed over Crack the Skye when it came out!
I think, since he plays with 3 fingers on his right hand I think he continues the A while playing the melody with his middle and ring fingers.
Prolly my favorite Primus song. So good!
Fun fact... The ska punk band I'm recommending...
Fishbone - Bonin' in the Boneyard
is opening for a Primus & Coheed on part of their tour 😁
Oh snap, really? Must have missed that!! Is it for the whole tour? I've been eyeing which dates to try to catch on that one! Coheed are one of my favorite bands I've seen live many times already too!
@@LowEndUniversity I remember about C&C 😁. I have the C&C VIP/Meet & greet pass 😉
Fishbone is on the final leg of the tour. 8/8 - 8/17. Basically from VA, North.
If you're able to go...I'll be at the Richmond, VA show! Would love to hang with ya 😊
@@LowEndUniversityalso... We got a 12 minute jam version of this song at the Raleigh date on the Sessanta tour.
I culminated with a 3 way improve drum jam session with Tim, Josh Freese (A Perfect Circle) & Gunner Olsen (Puscifer)
I haven't seen anything that cool since Jane's Addiction's performance of 3 Days on Lollapalooza '91 😲
This album has quite a few tracks that lean more in this kind of direction. This is the kind of thing we get when Primus decides to get a little more musically serious. Also love 'Hellbound 17 1/2' and 'Over the Electric Grapevine', but really the whole album is excellent.
One of my favorite Primus songs ❤
One of my favorite songs.
There are some great live versions of this floating around on TH-cam, my favorite is the 12-31-2017 in Oakland with Danny Carey, or the 2004 complete version.
