This is the radio show where I first heard Primus. This was on a Wednesday. On Friday, they played a small club in San Jose, called Marsugi's. They were the opening act. Then All supported, then The Melvins headlined. After the show I was walking to my car and Larry, Les, and one of their roadies were sitting in a van next to my car. They were getting high and offered me a bong hit. I declined. DOH!!! But I did buy a "Suck On This" tshirt and cassette tape from Les directly.
@@dLimboStick :P Close enough, my dude. I think it's one of those situations where you can tell a bit of a tall-tail if you wanted to and the basic story would be the same. Either way you were at a special place in a special time.
Hilarious! Les actually played with Metallica, I think as an audition or maybe even a show or two around the Burton tragedy… Kurt and Les went the same high school. Les has spoken of Kurt in those days, saying: you would have never known he was the lead guitar player for a heavy metal band”. I always thought it would have been a interesting band if they got together for an album or two… but I also see why not I suppose… 🎯
@@thomaslamothe6245 I think he auditioned but it wasn't a good fit. It was obviously not a skill issue, just very different styles. Metallica also takes itself too seriously to have someone like Les in the band. I'm glad Les did his own thing.
I think I paid 8$ for my first Primus show, there was like 3 other bands, that made it big(not yet though). No big labels, just good tunes, with good fiends. I had never heard of Primus till that night in early 87.;They came on stage and said, HI WERE PRIMUS AND WE SUCK. Then blew me away..........
“To defy the laws of tradition is a crusade …only of the brave” My older brother was tuned in the day this was on the radio. We grew up in the delta and when my 9 year old mind questioned him “who are you listening to?” He said: Some dudes from El Sobrante. Saw them live at SF Civic Center a couple years later… my mind was blown. Not once has this band ever ceased to do so in every new album thereafter. After about 50 more shows, still as fascinated as that day when I was 9. I’m 42 now. “…they do satisfy! “
Ill assume your referring to both your life and them corn chex. Albeit that lingering taste of toothpaste, they indeed do, satisfy. Have you a fine day
I can't believe they were playing music like this in '89! While other bands were playing the old hair band music they were already playing the music of the 2000 era, and killing it! Damn!
Funk existed before the first primus practice, and college radio was a haven for young rock musicians in the late 70s through today. Not so mind boggling when contextualized
This is true, but a lot of the most creative, kooky, bizarre rock bands of the last couple of decades wouldn't have ever existed without Primus. All forms of new music need that first artist to "defy the laws of tradition" as they say.
Hope everyone doesn't mind an old 60's rocker chiming in but these guys f**kin rock! Les Claypool may be the best base player I have ever heard and it takes a lot for a Jack Bruce devotee to say. We listened to Pink Floyd, King Crimson, Cream, Hendrix, and a lot of jazz fusion, especially Miles Davis circa 1968 to 1973, so it probably isn't that surprising that I would find these guys rewarding. I do believe that Claypool would have been a base player Davis would have liked very much. No expert, no musician, just my humble opinion.
@@zuphie9680 Well my opinion isn't worth anything but Geddy Lee is incredible as well. Les is so innovative and funky while Geddy has these beautiful runs and makes Rush so much more interesting, especially in combination with Neil Peart. I feel Geddy is more subtle and nuanced. Les as a bass player reminded me of the first time I heard Hendrix as a guitarist: " OK, I didn't know that was even f..king possible!". Cliff Burton is exceptional and i enjoy his playing but I would not put him in a class with the other two. Like I said though, my opinion is worthless since I am not a musician and just go on what I like.
Also Nirvana Bleach, Pantera writing Cowboys from Hell which would come out in 90..I'm sure there's probably at least 1 or 2 others I can't think of lol .. oh yea....must have been when Metallica started writing the first album aka Black Album, that was the beginning of the end of the "true" Metallica we all loved lol.
Larry is the president of licks,evil,wicked fast and furious,awesome,absurdly brilliant, sends electrical pulses through my brain,puts that spice and psyche all over Les clay pools pace maker,pulse,freaky drunken master ,a foil for the drummer who I have no words for cos he's brilliant tooooo
Wow incredibly tight , shit , the drummer is a machine, a little YYZ with John the fisherman, these guys were locked in for this epic session , kudos to the station engineers for great recording!!
Epic. I was born in May of 1990… One of my first memories was scolding my parents after crying because they didn’t take me with them to see Primus at Woodstock ‘94. 😢 They laughed. I made my dad make me tapes of all the Primus he had in the house. 😁 Thank you for this…
God that strat tone is so gorgeous. Just everything about Ler's playing here is so fantastic, and this had to be super super early on in his run with primus. Tim's totally on it too, that snippet of YYZ is so sick. Also very funny to see a younger Les Claypool, always thought he looked like Karl from Workaholics here lol
Ya, Herb & Ler both joined around the same time when Todd & Jay left in late '88. And a couple months later they recorded Suck On This. But Les once said he didn't even know if Ler was any good when he recruited him: sure they were friends from their time playing in Blind Illusion, which was loud & had multiple guitars. So he'd never heard Ler playing alone. Meanwhile Brain was set to play drums, until he broke his ankle skateboarding. At which point Les said "What about that Tim guy, he was pretty rippin'." Good thing too as Tim & Les were made for each other, musically speaking.
@@haamurabaigreyhome4713I totally agree that Tim and Les were made for each other musically, but I think that Brain was really the only other drummer that could have stepped in after Tim left. His playing on The Brown Album and Antipop is excellent and really compliments Les's bass lines very well. I can never really decide who my favorite Primus drummer is, as they've all been great in their own ways. But, I'd say that Tim is the definitive Primus drummer.
I saw Primus live for the first time in Detroit in 1991for the first time, most recently last summer 30 years later, before flushable toilets and the combustion engine. Music like this happened because kids didn’t wear helmets every where:)
I first saw them in '92 at Lollapalooza. They played last. Les came out and said "we're Primus, most of you won't like us so you should probably go home." Then everyone started chanting Primus sucks! I didn't know what to think but I was an instant fan
I have seen this and listened to it numerous times. This is the first time I noticed Les wearing a Steal Your Face Shirt…..nuthin left to do but smile smile smile. Thanks for the epic post - top notch and on point in their early days. They just keep blowing the roof ( and my mind ) off all of the gigs as they grow and get better with age…. sick.
He is so ahead of his time, that when I got my first primus cd, i didn't play it for my friends as it was so different, like the sea of cheese might be too much for them!! 😅
You honestly have no idea how much I thank you for uploading the full KZSU performance. I saw it a few months ago and then it got deleted for some reason and haven't been able to find it. Quite frankly, I don't care about the quality. Primus is Primus. They suck \m/
I can see it. They were both completely irreverent to everything and loved to take the piss out of everybody and everything. Les was just more overly goofy, and MJK was more stoic and tongue-in-cheek.
This video recording is sped up just a half a beat. Or the live recording itself is slowed down a half beat. But you can get this show on CD online. Can't find it streaming anywhere. But its rad to think that in 1989 you could have been cruising around Stanford on a Wednesday and hear this coming thru your speakers. Just a straight up vibe. I fucking love it.
I saw them live in 1997 outdoors at offshore. Some dough had a red laser. Les go's "why don't you do eomething constructive with that thing and burn the general warts off your dick" haha. I was 17. I'm now 43
Saw this projected on the wall at a Stanford eating club in 1992 or 1993. Couple of people who worked at KZSU and two or three more of us. Glad it survived.
This is brilliant to see , and to hear how their songs evolved before they were recorded for an album ,I remember the first song I heard by these , it was Tommy the cat ,when it came out ,I was instantly a fan , it was the drumming that caught my attention ( as a then death metal giging drummer) it had something that I identified as metal drumming ,but it was so far from what I played at that time ( stuff like deicide ,slayer,cannibal ,sepultura,etc ) It sent me into a whole new world of drumming .
About six months ago I wrote Les and asked him if he wanted to put out a Spaghetti Western album. He was on tour. What cha doin now Tommy? I am the chicken picking machine gun, throw me some feed Les.
i've been listening to primus since the early 90's, but i haven't seen them play. this video wad excellent to watch. so good to watch them have so much fun playing songs i love so much.
found this video back in 2013/2014 was workin on Marine Diesel Engines in Pt.Pleasant Nj. Still remember jammin out in the bilge to this… changing out rocker-arms on a Detroit Diesel 12v71….one of the Bogan’s Fleet in Brielle…great stuff!!
There was no coverage of this back then on the national basis. Literally it was emo 80s and glam rock '80s and it all sucked .. sorry for those who love that portion of rock and roll history.. Primus got their first song, played on music videos with pork soda and as a kid. I loved it. And yet because there wasn't any internet I figured it was their first album, and follow them for almost 10 years before finding out that Suck on This, Frizzle Fry, and even Sailing the Seas if Cheese, even existed😮, nuxh less getting to hear rhen 😢. Even so, I got to see them twice before I knew of those albums , and oh what a glorious day it was when a neighbor of mine heard my speakers playing Primus and he introduced me to the albums I had never heard even though I was alive when they came out and my life changed forever-4-the-better🙂💚🙏🙌✊💯
shawn hapney not dehydration just cotton mouth. not everyone gets it and some not as bad as others plus plenty of cures for it like a piece of candy or gum or sugary drink. i dont get it unless i smoke alot
Corralling chaos into a musically satisfying song must be similar to herding cats into a kennel full of pit bulls. Lol There's a good song lyric in there somewhere.
Les kicks it backstage with my best friend all the time out west, we grew up in Pittsburgh an now hes always out there kickin it wit Primus, jealous...Willys on Smack an he wont be comin back but hey we all damn blue collar tweekers in a way sometimes I feel like Harold!! Love ya Billy tell Les I said yiggity.
I hate this. People have fucked up teeth when they grow up too poor for braces and I actually find imperfections attractive? Idk why though. My teeth are trashed, I brush them, they came in crowded
One thing that amazes me is that some bands begin fully formed, new sound etc. like Primus. Auditioned for Metallica & was told go start your own band.... RATM, fully formed, new sound, day 1; Black Sabbath, same; Bad Brains, same. I know there are others im forgetting.
Everyone of these guys are the shit! The first time I heard them I was sitting in my homies garage and he put on frizzle fry and defy the laws of tradition started. I sat there in shock and awe. The sounds the words, every moment poured into me and opened my mind heart and spirit! I went out the next day and bought it on cassette and vinyl. So grateful for this band and Les and all his projects. Real people making real music. You could never manufacture this kind of music. So glad Metallica turned Les down.
I remember seeing these guys at Lalapolooza in 1993 in Dallas TX, Coca-Cola Starplex. I remember thinking how crazy his bass playing was. Somebody threw a shoe and hit his bass at the beginning of Tommy the cat. It pissed off Les and he moved on to another song.
Imagine driving in your compact car in 1989 going to your shitty job, switching through country, rock, and pop stations, only to tun on this gold that changes everything.
Anybody ever notice that Too Many Puppies and Blind from Korn have weirdly similar intro's? Not trying to say Korn ripped it off or anything, more convergent evolution if anything.

One of the greatest bands ever.
un privilegio poder ver los inicios de mi grupo favorito. Gracias por subir este material.👍
Corralling chaos into a musically satisfying song must be similar to herding cats into a kennel full of pit bulls. Lol There's a good song lyric in there somewhere.
Les kicks it backstage with my best friend all the time out west, we grew up in Pittsburgh an now hes always out there kickin it wit Primus, jealous...Willys on Smack an he wont be comin back but hey we all damn blue collar tweekers in a way sometimes I feel like Harold!! Love ya Billy tell Les I said yiggity.
might be the best primus video...somebody please buy les a toothbrush though
mojambo his teeth are crooked as fuck, he needs braces not a toothbrush (well idk maybe he has bad breath i wouldmt know)
Oh my lord his teeth...and he definitely had morning breath. I’m sure he’s had his teeth fixed over the years. They look better now, not as prominent.
I hate this. People have fucked up teeth when they grow up too poor for braces and I actually find imperfections attractive? Idk why though. My teeth are trashed, I brush them, they came in crowded
really. Who gives a flying fuck about that?
27:20 to defy yyz john ground puppies and tommy the cat, that goes hard 🔥
One thing that amazes me is that some bands begin fully formed, new sound etc. like Primus. Auditioned for Metallica & was told go start your own band....
RATM, fully formed, new sound, day 1; Black Sabbath, same; Bad Brains, same. I know there are others im forgetting.
Everyone of these guys are the shit! The first time I heard them I was sitting in my homies garage and he put on frizzle fry and defy the laws of tradition started. I sat there in shock and awe. The sounds the words, every moment poured into me and opened my mind heart and spirit! I went out the next day and bought it on cassette and vinyl. So grateful for this band and Les and all his projects. Real people making real music. You could never manufacture this kind of music. So glad Metallica turned Les down.
I just want to know exactly how high fucking Les was lol
I used to have a live recording of them from 2 shows in 1 day, aquatic Park and Berkeley Square in '88, just one of many lost treasures
Amazing archival footage ! So Great out of the gate ! All these years later and still kicking !
You can see Les knew they had magic in the first minute
Been listening to them for 20 years off an on. We would have been friends frfr
I love to see Les Claypool in everyday traffic.
I remember seeing these guys at Lalapolooza in 1993 in Dallas TX, Coca-Cola Starplex. I remember thinking how crazy his bass playing was. Somebody threw a shoe and hit his bass at the beginning of Tommy the cat. It pissed off Les and he moved on to another song.
Imagine driving in your compact car in 1989 going to your shitty job, switching through country, rock, and pop stations, only to tun on this gold that changes everything.
I kinda love that the interviewer looks just as bummy as the band themselves. You can tell that studio must've been hot as hell. lol
"It's a huge shift in the musical taste of the United States." Fuck Yeah!
I really like this. especially YYZ as the intro of the John the fisherman is very cool ! thank you trepoutable to upload this.
2022 and this slaps
Does anyone know what Les is saying in those alternate lyrics
Nothing like these boys ever and forever
32:25 Man that was an amazing moment, that was some fast downhill shit =)
The reason a started playing guitar.
so this is ler's legendary guitar with the action super high and the pickup slot routed with a steak knife, right?
Check out the size of les’s hands
Anybody ever notice that Too Many Puppies and Blind from Korn have weirdly similar intro's? Not trying to say Korn ripped it off or anything, more convergent evolution if anything.
Korn ripped it from Primus. David “Korns” drummer said Herb was a huge influence on his drumming
They were perfect here. Damn! It's a shame what commercialization does to music.
Eric Christian still plenty of great music out there and primus still tours. saw imem in may and will see em again in november
I want to meet les claypool so bad
I had no idea these songs were this old..
Les's fuzzbox (23:27) sounds like he's playing with a bow.
Back when you could actually maybe afford to live in San Francisco.
36:22 Les does his best Beavis impersonation
bud he didn't poured himself with coffee, drugs and candies.
And Beavis wasn't around in 1989. Or was he? Maybe? LOL
Haha
I have never noticed Les changes the Lyrics in this early version of Sgt Baker until now
