Primus Too Many Puppies Reaction and Breakdown // The Decomposer Lounge
I love this song. My friend was offended by the lyrics "too many puppies, being shot in the dark", I had to explain that this song's lyrics are an analogy for young kids signing up and dying in war, it's not literally talking about puppies. Too many puppies, with guns in their hands, too many puppies, in foreign lands. Actually a great anti-war song
Honestly I'd just tell them to keep listening, like the metaphor isn't really cryptic.
He should be MORE offended about the young kids dying in war rather than puppies literally being shot. At least I'd hope so.
@@firstnext5482 meh. Maybe back in the olden days when there were mothers and fathers. In these modern and enlightened times they are manufactured by birthing people.
this change’s nothing
We would empathize with them a lot more if they were puppies, and that's the obscene part of the song. Very deep and troubling.
Interesting side note: Les started his own label because he was tired of producers telling him how he should create his music.
Clutch did this as well for the same reasons. And they still have great success. You really don't need major labels.
@@Swollen_Goat Yeah! I like Clutch a lot also!
@@Swollen_Goat Clutch is awesome. Bump.
@@Swollen_Goat Gearheads unite!
Consequently, a Clutch React To it is!
TOOL fans: "You don't just listen, you experience"
"Yes, god-like musicianship"
Primus fans: "Ha this band sucks, lol"
"I know, right? 😄"
primus sucks
primus sucks
i love primus
What's even funnier is there's so much crossover in the fan bases the same person could say that 30 mins apart lol
The last time I saw TOOL, Primus opened. Of course Les commented on the fact that one of their headlining festivals TOOL opened for them. It was an amazing show.
Same people.
@@jaredjabouri7935 at least the ultra-aware are.
Nice to see Frizzle Fry get some love. "To defy the laws of tradition" is a killer track.
@The Lord of Entropy great album, but it will always be pork soda for me. First one i heard after seeing the video for Mr. Krinkle on MTV.
@The Lord of Entropy best primus album for me too.
Still have it on cassette. My favorite primus album for sure.
...Is a crusade only of the brave. Primus sucks!
the whole Frizzle Fry album is superb
Hey we're Primus, and we suck. That's what Les says at the start of every show 😁
Lower the bar and you can't fail.
I love how they set the bar low, but perform to such a degree that even if they set the bar high, they would crush it. Humble attitudes.
I don’t think they’ve done that since 91 or so.
@@amelzon1 they did it in 2019 when I saw them open for Slayer
The Meatmen !!
First album title, "We are the Meatmen and you suck"
Second album title, "We Are The Meatmen and You Still Suck"
Worth checking out !
Larry is IMO the most criminally underrated guitarist - always gliding over the top of the track but adding so so much
Always been a massive fan of his playing on this stuff. It's weird that people imply the guitar takes a backing/rhythm role and the bass takes the lead in Primus. The guitar is doing lead nearly all the time on the early records, the bass is just also performing rhythm/lead roles.
There's only one way to play guitar in Primus and he does it perfectly
Those kicks in that final part (10:24) always hit me right in the guts every single time and I've heard this song probably 50,000 times. So good...
This is what inspired the intro to "Blind" by Korn.
Omg that's why the intro sounded so familiar!!!!
True or not I definitely can hear it! Don't doubt it at all
My thoughts exactly
Duuuuuude.... You must be right. Primus and Korn toured in the past, I wonder if they ever had this conversation?
primus is a lead to korn and king crimson is a lead to primus
I can tell you that Les Claypool was shortly in Green Jelly (Three Little Pigs) with Maynard and they continued to stay friends. I believe they got together to just jam for fun sometimes, but they obviously went different directions for their public music.
They on tour together now!!
Fun fact; The guitar player of Primus, Larry Lalonde, was a founding member of arguably the first ever Death Metal band, The Possessed. Side note, Larry is easily one of the most underrated guitar players of all time.
John the Fisherman. Same album. Also, try Les’s wine. Like Maynard, he has his own winery. His pinot is great.
How are Maynard's wines? Haven't tried Les' or Maynard's but I will be looking for Les' pinot for sure!
@@travisobrien1533 I haven’t tried Maynard’s yet, but they are mostly classic Italian-style wines. Les’ winery is called Claypool Cellars. They are up in Calistoga and do lighter reds excellently. I’ve had several. The pinot noir is top notch.
When I grow up I want to be...
One of the harvesters of the sea 😁
@@trevorwalden6097 I think before my days are done. I want to be a fisherman!
super underrated track
Primus "American Life" is a great one and every time I hear it, the bass riff gets stuck in my head for weeks afterward. Les also has a project with Sean Lennon that's pretty heady and worth checking out. The Claypool Lennon Delirium
That riff thi
Yeah I suggested Blood and Rockets The Saga of Jack Parsons but honestly Satori would be just as good
That riff is legendary
American Life fueled my high-school survival etc along with Rage Against the Machine
This riff
Sweet!! Such a great Anti-War track from Primus. They are so good, on many, many levels.
Les definitely does not beat around the bush whenever he intends to say something. Even the social commentary on blue collar tweakers is incredible.
I love Primus they suck sm
Primus' Wynonna's Big Brown Beaver needs to happen as well I believe.
Yeah the twang in Les’s voice in that song is awesome
Came here to say the same! *High Five*
thats my fav Primus song
Why does everyone sleep on Groundhogs Day?
It was this song that made me want to go down the Primus rabbit hole. I'm so glad I did.
😵Sorry for the long intro. I just got into a motivated stream of consciousness :) LOL the "space out" @2:01 - 👴 - AWWWRIGHT!!
You do you! That's why we follow you on these awesome journeys!
Love your reactions Geebz! Keep the Primus reactions coming! Les Claypool is such an amazing talent and you can definitely get some interesting stuff as you get deeper into their catalog. I really think Larry LaLonde is the perfect guitar player for this band as his playing just really fits with the supremely powerful bass lines. Also would love it if you get to Umphreys McGee sometime
Great reaction Geebz,as usual!!!Now,you have no choice,you must react to Primus//Over the electric grapevine.What a masterpiece!!
On that note Geebz, as I listen I remembered that Les Claypool has another project with John Lennon's son, Sean. Blood & Rockets is amazing: th-cam.com/video/dZz9kPxM7h4/w-d-xo.html
AWWWRIGHT ! Love you Geebz! But jonesing for you to discover more Radiohead!
The musicianship of primus is un-freaking-believable.
That "tension" of the strings with the whammy bar is actually Les using it on his bass with a whammy........not Ler(guitar) doing it.
Larry didn’t play on the frizzle fry album, it was Todd huff and jay lane on drums
@@alexandernovick76 sorry you are incorrect. Tim and Larry both played on Frizzle Fry. Todd Huth, not Huff, left in 89.....Frizzle Fry was released 1990. Todd Huth wrote a majority of the guitar parts on songs on the Frizzle Fry LP but it's Larry "Ler" LaLonde playing on this album. It's also Tim Alexander playing drums on this album. Suck On This was Primus "debut" album released in 89 and it is also Larry LaLonde and Tim Alexander on drums. They were only together a little over 2 months at the time.
@@jasonarmstrong4551 your right.. that was the lineup when I saw them back in the day.. may have been a few years before the album came out
@@alexandernovick76 it's all good my friend. Jay and Todd were in the 1st line up of the band. Even came back together as Sausage and released an album in 1994, Riddles Are Abound Tonight. Damn good stuff. As I'm sure you're already aware of Jay came back for a while a few years ago as well.
Primus - John the Fisherman You know you love that bass :D
That’s Ler. Some of the most amazing rock guitars ever played.
I was never a huge Primus fan, even though they were pretty big in my formative years in the 90s. But, when I saw them play this Live it was a revelation. A highlight of a show where Mastodon opened and Primus played an entire suite about Goblins. Man, the frat boys were unimpressed.
Tim "the herb" Alexander is one of the most underrated drummers
What’s his current rating?
@@kozmobrown5300 you never see him on "Top 25" lists. Reality says he's Top 5
The thing I love about Primus is how they really have *exactly* the right drums for their songs. When you have a bass guitarist on the level of Les Claypool, he'll end up also being a good portion of the percussion. It might be "simple" but every note is hit in exactly the right place and the songs wouldn't be the same without the drumming. It's really fun to watch a live video like the live version of Those Damn Blue Collar Tweakers from Woodstock 94.
If you ever want to go on a deeper dive of Les Claypool outside of Primus, I would suggest Colonel Claypool's Bucket of Bernie Brains. It was an experimental supergroup with Les and Brain of Primus, Buckethead, and Bernie Worrell of Parliament-Funkadelic. It's four masters of their instruments who got together to jam and recorded an album. It's wild and funky and a hell of a lot of fun. Junior, The Big Eyeball in the Sky, and Thai Noodles are particular standouts, but it's one of those albums that begs to be listened to in full.
I recommended this when he covered Buckethead! :D
The Claypool Lennon Delirium is amazing!
And there’s Oysterhead, with Les, Trey from Phish, and Stewart Copeland from Police...not my cup of tea but my Phish/Dead fan friends love it.
Thanks for this... all the projects have such importance & I haven't kept up with all
Thai Noodles is such a great track
That was Les`s bass. He has a tremelo bar on his bass as well.
I'm at work but had to click on this and like. Love Primus, they suck
Primus sucks
"Thats a brand new number one".
Les's bass has a "Whammy Bar" in addition to Lar's
I hit LIKE before it even started. 👍🏼
You’ll really enjoy southbound pachyderm if you do another primus song.
Oh yeah buddy thats the one
Yes. Very much. It's really hard to pick. I will say that I don't care about anything with Brain on drums. I own those albums and listen to them but I just don't like them as much.
Glass Sandwich too. Herb crushes it with the tom sweeps. Love playing it on the drums man.
My fav was always mr krinkle. Such a dark circus vibe. Love it.
All of these are great but I think if we are talking composition, Southbound Pachyderm is the most interesting.
Some other fun Primus tracks: Jerry was a Race Car Driver and Kalamazoo.
Kalamazoo is one of my personal favs
I love playing Kalamazoo on the drums. So funky.
2:38 lol after that first lick he was like oh okay yeah this gonna he gnarly
I remember seeing an interview with Primus back in the 90's. Larry LaLonde (guitar) took lessons from Joe Satrioni. He said one thing that stuck with him that Joe said was "Sometimes the wrong note is the right note" (or something to that affect). Larry said "I think I use that more than he intended".
Primus' "DMV" would be a blast during the 30 days.
I don't know how I was fortunate enough to find Primus as a young woman, but I remember walking around my school singing this song to myself. 🥰🤣👌
Also: My name is Mud. 💓
DMV is a must listen if you’re going down the Primus path. The way that track widens out in the bridge gives me goose bumps every time.
The drummer Tim Alexander played on the first track of mer de noms “the hollow”
check out something From The Claypool Lennon Delirium ... its a side project he made with Sean Lennon ... its a completely different feel to Primus, CLD is more of a psychedelic rock revival ... try Little Fishes or Blood and Rocket
YESSSSS
Hard to pick my favorite Primus songs, but I'll throw a few requests out. Mr. Krinkle, Jerry was a racecar driver, Toys go winding down, Sgt. Baker
Loudly seconding Mr Krinkle especially!!
I'd add Southbound Pachyderm and Nature Boy amongst MANY others!
This is Primus's pigs of war . It's all about sending troops to die and kill. Every aspect of production emphasizes this. This dude would freak out on Southbound Pachyderm
Les actually has a whammy bar on his bass. That's probably him making the string to fret noise in the quiet part
I've worn this album out after so many listens I cannot not hear "They call me Mr. Knowitall..." ringing in my head right after this song finishes. Too Many Puppies is my fave Primus song so I'm glad you got to it.
Same! Really love that breakdown in “Knowitall.”
“The call me Mr Knowitall…SO SPREAD THE WORD AROUND!” It’s so powerful and groovy. Some of my favorite stuff. Glad it’s not just me.
“Perfection is my middle name. And whatever rhymes with eloquent.”
Primus’ Professor Nutbutter’s House of Treats.....now THAT’S a well produced song worth reacting to. 🎶✌️😁
i agree with that one
Bob’s Party Time
One of my favourites the bass intro is phenomenal
@@davidkillian1990 I always forget about that tune and I don’t know why. It’s beautiful.
You're gonna love 'Soutbound Paychyderm'. Unique song in their discography, very psychodelic and ominous. Definitely one of their best.
Les has a whammy bar on his bass... it's so cool
Oh, yes, this will be awesome. Great anti war song.
Edit: once again things I hadn't noticed before about this song you brought up and why I love your channel. The nod to Hendrix in the guitar work, the march buried in the phrasing, leaving in the percussive "p" makes we want to go and listen to Primus again. Thanks, Geebz!
Love the whole album Frizzle Fry. Every instrument exciting.
Primus has some Bizarre bad ass songs- Jilly's on Smack, The Old Diamondback Sturgeon, Over the Electric Grapevine. I'd love to see you react to them eventually
Grapevine is a fukn trip dude...literally...lol
You really do have an ability to make it feel like the listener is sitting right next to you in the same room. No bells and whistles. No talking down to us. No sense that you are doing this other than your own pure enjoyment. And most importantly, it feels like you are communicating WITH us and not just TO us, even though we aren't actively in the conversation (other than the comments of course). Keep up the great work. Your videos are a nice escape from reality, which is what many of us need.
sausage is a wonderful band with les outside of Primus. includes the original guitarist and drummer for Primus.... jay lane and todd huth
Frizzle Fry....it's a sin this album is so under listened to. Front to back, fantastic and innovative.
It's not under listened to in this household!
.....the song Frizzle Fry itself is always a favourite live!!!
i listen to it every day lol
Second vote for professor nutbutter .. chuffed you’re doing primus. One of my favourite bands. So many great tracks!
Straight into Mrs. Blaileen!
Throwing my hat into the ring for Professor Nutbutter, too! It's an incredible rock track!
Dude! Yes! I love Primus so much!
Do Primus’ song “Eleven”! Right up your alley. Also, MORE MR. BUNGLE!!
There's no bad Primus. My personal favorite is "Toys go winding down". Love that bass line that he makes look so easy.
Oh boy, well now i went and thought about what my favourite primus songs are. I think i would recommend Sgt. Baker, Goldenboy, Shake Hands With Beef, Kalamazoo, Silly Putty, Lacquer Head, The Antipop.
The opening isn't the bells of his ride cymbals, they're ice bells.
I'm going to have to add a vote for My Name Is Mud, I'm sure it's up there. It's a great example of the advancement and progression of Primus' sound, when it sounds like it became effortless for them to just groove in their little world.
I know I'm late to the party, but I love Les Claypool so much I named my son after him. Must have been inspired since he's now a luthier. I just wanted to say thanks for the engineering breakdowns you give for music, it's really helped me appreciate my music 100 times more.
P.S. if we're doing requests, Rammstein's 'Sonne' would be great for a metal Monday 🤘
Man! I need to dive deeper in this band’s work! I know the first album and the hits but that’s not enough anymore! What a sound! This was awesome! Aaawright!
"John the Fisherman" an absolute requirement.
Also one of Les's side projects, check out Oysterhead. Les is joined by Stuart Copeland (The Police) and Trey Anastasio (Phish)
Les' live rant about Stewart Copeland @ the Oysterhead show is EPIC.
You should listen to the title track of this album: Frizzle Fry
My favorite Primus track, even after all these years.
@@jasonhyatt1550 it's a solid track.
@@jasonhyatt1550 me too
Yes! This is definitely one of my favorites! Although I love them all!
Primus - Sailing the Seas of Cheese. 🧀 🤣
The whole album really
The guitarist left his death metal band in 86 to join these guys .. mad skills . 3 amazing musicians
Sgt. Baker is one of my favorites, its explosive and really catchy
One of my favorites too
Finally got to see Primus live a few years ago... the crowd loved all the "big" songs, naturally. But the crowd went *absolutely NUTS* when Tim started playing the intro to this song!
I can also confirm that this song hits 100x harder in a live setting.
true story: Danny Carey was asked to fill in for Primus' drummer a few years back to play a few live shows, because Les Claypool didn't think any other drummer could replace Tim
Woah 😮
And his reply was yes.
I saw them in 2013 with Jay Lane. He is no Tim.
The level of tight timing in odd time signatures is hard to match with tim alexander..
@@randallevans2073 I love Jay's work, he's a totally different flavour though. Same with Brain, the fact that Primus gains those different colours through different drummers is one of the things that helps with their longevity in my opinion.
Man, I danced my a.. off to this song so many times in my youth! So much fun! Thank you so much again and again for your breakdowns...
Had to stop what I was doing to catch this. You're awesome man
Don't know if anyone already mentioned this, but this entire album was mixed/produced by a then 19 year old Matt Winegar after hours in a studio in San Fransisco. That being said, Les has quite the ear for sound and every single album Primus has released has incredible drum sound quality on top of just an overall brilliant band soundscape. Nearly every song was recorded to preserve every nuance and most don't even know the time and effort they went through for every song.
Too many papapapapapapuppies! Lol I love when you end up on these awesome lesser heard tracks. I knew that part would get a smile out of you because you can actually recognize that musical comedy. Just such a wacky band, much like System of a Down in the way they aren’t afraid to turn listeners off and look ridiculous. They actually embrace the weird places the music takes them so much that they develop something totally new that speaks to other weirdos like us and almost becomes its own niche genre.
You've got a new subscriber...
Jerry was a Race Car Driver has to be the next Primus review. It's arguably their best song, the most exciting bass & drum combo & moshpit favourite.
"Jerry Was A Racecar Driver" will cause much bass guitar envy. Les Claypool's tapping technique is mezmerizing.
Bobs Party Time Lounge is my favorite by Primus, keep doing what your doing love the content. Hope you get back out to the children's hospitals soon.
The whole Brown Album is genius.
After listening to your insights, I love it when I notice something in a song that I've never realized before, and then you point it out. Like the reverb on his voice - I've never (consciously) noticed it, but I heard it on this listen. Then you mentioned it, and I'm like...yeah...
I’d love to recommend my all time favorite primus track: “jellikit” off the Suck on This album. Definitely worth a listen
Oooooh yeah
im a huge primus fan and don't think i'm familiar with this song at all, putting it on my road trip playlist for tomorrow , can't ever have too much les ✌
@@cosmicaura3958 dude it’s a banger
@@cosmicaura3958 I have to ask…”jellikit?”
I’ll see myself out.
I love how the music spoke to you with the craziness.
You should do a deep cut from this album, something like Spegetti Western! Dissonance in a nutshell
Yes! - Spegetti Western deserves a ton more love. Dissonance on a base of solid rhythm. One of my favs for over 30 years now.
@@scotthughes2687 One of my favs too! Ler is amazing but Todd Huth's guitar writing deserves so much love
Didn't dig into all the comments but I didn't see anyone mentioning that Claypool has a whammy on his bass too for that section of the break down
I was in a mosh pit getting worn out when I first heard them do this one live.
I’ve seen them live twice and it was outstanding!!
Only seen them live once and sucked it was in a seated venue. But still awesomeness abounded
@@JohnSmith-fl4bj damn
Dude this video is yet another example of why I subscribe to this channel and not any multidude of others.. thank you!
If you're keeping with the pet animal theme then surely "Wynona's Big Brown Beaver" has to be next?
Primus was my first real rock band growing up. Still love this music.
This is a great song!!!! Once you dive into Les Claypool it’s easy to get lost.
10:38 My guy got hit with the funky drums so hard he got himself some stinkface and had to wipe his nose. 🤪
I would love to hear your thoughts on anything from Primus' 'Brown Album'. Very different recording sound.
Surprisingly, that was the first Primus album I bought. lol Very different indeed, but still a whole lot of awesome.
@@forgotn42 It wasn't that well received on release but it grew on me to end up being one of my favourites.
That’s my favorite Primus record...
"I imagine some burglar sneaking around..." Check out Primus' cover of the Peter Gabriel song "INTRUDER"
It’s time for Primus Have A Cigar
I freakin love Primus. Thanks Geebz!
You should check out Professor Nutbutter's House of Treats by Primus.
An interesting note about whammy bars is that Les's bass actually has a Kahler whammy bar on it, and when Larry the guitarist is leaning on his whammy Les is as well.
Pleaaaase do Mr. Krinkle or Wynona's big brown beaver 🙏🏻
I second Mr. Krinkle. It's my fav from them.
I 3rd Mr. Krinkle
The snare tone is sick
Primus was the reason I started playing bass. Still doing it and getting paid to do it now! Thanks Les!
If you're still going to be recycling this week it would be cool for you to check out the the new spiritbox tracks that have released since your last video. Also would love to see you come back to loathe, thank you scientist and haken.
Les has a whammy bar on his bass. That "drop" break in the song was both the guitar and bass dropping the whammys.
ELDER is a band that need to be decomposed Awwlright
Potions by PUSCIFER on the recycle ♻️
Thanks geebz.
Thank you for recommending Elder! I was starting to think they were a figment of my imagination that only I could hear. I keep recommending them but everyone wants to listen to popular music. Ugh, the best music in the world is too often popularized long after the bands stop producing. Elder has produced 4 albums in 3 years. Thousand Hands, Sanctuary, Blind, Omens, Halcyon, Dead Roots Stirring, In procession, One Light Reatreating, and III are just some of their great songs. Not a bad song to be found.
Has no one mentioned mr. Kringle? The sound of the standing bass is hypnotic.
Definitely check out “Last Salmon Man” or “Extinction Burst” from the Green Naugahyde album!
Hope you do a deep dive into Primus! Fun fact; Tim Alexander the drummer for Primus in the early days is also the drummer for A Perfect Circle
