Les Claypool: "I was in the trades, so I was a carpenter for a number of years before I was able to quit and make a living noodling my fingers around. And I've been around a lot of guys-especially older union guys. Some of these guys are friends with my father. They're getting older and, to keep up with the young guys, do some crank during the day or before they start work. Some guys drink a bunch of coffee, some guys drink a bunch of coffee and do some crank. I was amazed at how much methamphetamine-and this was twenty-plus years ago-was in the trades. And for better or worse, it's fueled a lot of progress in the construction arena. But the flame that burns twice as bright burns only half as long-which I say at the end of the song."
He’s not wrong about the trades. Witnessed plenty of that on job sites. I’ve worked with junkies from all the big street drugs. From meth to crack to pills and smack. Never got into that stuff myself. I had a Mountain Dew addiction.
@@fastfaps It's the 15th most popular Primus video/song on TH-cam. Nice try though wannabe Primus-Expert hipster. I bet you listened to them before anyone else even heard of them.
@@LawrenceFadalong His character isn't even a hillbilly, if you actually listen to his music, it has more of a funk feel to it because Les is into Funk music. Really pisses me off when Primus fans can't tell the difference between bluegrass and funk. Hillbillies are super patriotic and Les is always singing about how shit America is, Hence this song and American Life. He is wearing that American flag shirt most likely for irony. Wynonas Big Brown Beaver is quite literally the only bluegrassy type of song they have. Even then, the music video clearly has them dressed as country dudes.
I'm 58 yrs. young and I want to Thank You for introducing me to "Primus". I haven't liked a new band in years. They're great!! This is by far my favorite reaction video. You are one funny man!!
I remember one of their posters in the 90s advertising one of their albums had a tagline on the bottom that said "if you didn't like primus before, you probably still won't". so good
@@chef2542 I got to go fishing with him once about twenty years ago. My dad's friend is a fishing guide in Wisconsin and and a bass player who used to know a lot of bands. One day he pulled into our driveway with his boat and Les Claypool in the truck with him. He had to get a few muskie lures back that my dad borrowed but anyway I went along but besides how awesome it was to actually be hanging out with Les Claypool it was a mundane experience and it almost could have been anybody. Les did catch two Northerns and two walleye. None of us got any muskies.
@@dickJohnsonpeterman, what a story, that's amazing, I've heard of him being big into fishing and even heard stories of him and Getty from Rush catching fish together
One of the most talented 3 pieces ever assembled with a sound nobody has come close to replicating since. Les Claypool is a GOD on bass with a thumb that could slap the shit out of Mike Tyson!
you know i was thnking the other day a lot of my favorite acts (primus, death grips/hella/wavves, rush,,, etc) all have the same defining feature of minimal yet extremely complex sounds. making a lot with a little. no more than 3 members at most in any of em as well. sometimes just 2.
Just to let you in on the joke jamel, when the band was first coming up they introduced themselves to a crowd "we're primus" and someone in the crowd screamed "PRIMUS SUCKS!!!" Ever since then Les would often introduce the band as "we're primus and we suck". Primus Sucks has been the semi-official chant for primus fans ever since.
Listen to a new band called Goose, they sound like a better version of the Grateful Dead {a true jam band} “they said we are Goose” so the crowd says the name like they are getting booooood
Woodstock '94 was insane, but Primus is always an amazing concert experience. His new band, The Claypool Lennon Delerium is also an amazing experience. Both of their two albums are fantastic and trippy as hell.
The Claypool Lennon Delirium is one of those weird collaborations that no one would have thought of but when you hear it, it makes perfect sense (kinda like when El-P and Killer Mike started "Run The Jewels"). Just about everyone I've shown it to loves it, including my girlfriend. :D
My first Primus concert was at the Roskilde Festival in ´97. I was a 19 year old mega fan & they were amazing! The crowd wasn´t this crazy, but it wasn´t far from it. Now I´ve seen them 4 times and Duo de Twang (Les´ acoustic music/comedy project with the original Primus guitar player, who was in the band before Larry joined) once. They´re still great, but nothing beats that original first experience. To me, that was 60 minutes in heaven (At some point I also made out with some girl about my age at the time, who I only remember as being attractive, but too sweaty) and in true 90´s rock concert fashion, the day after my neck was sore as hell from headbanging and my body had lots of black marks I had no idea where came from. Back then a lot more people went crazy at concerts & it was huge adrenaline rush that´s hard to beat.
It seemed Les was a little offended when Metallica said he needed to do his own thing. I got to admit they were right. He was much better off doing his own thing and the crowd proves it. I've seen them myself a few times. He's is incredibly talented and when he collaborates with Buckethead its insane.
He was actually upset with James because James lied during the interview. In later interviews Les has said that both James and Lars were being a giant dick to him when he tried out. He went to try out for the band for Kirk whom he was good friends with.
My all time favorite Primus song. Seeing this live or Primus in general is freaking amazing. He and Justin Chancellor two of the best bass players ever. Just saw Primus for the 6th time last month
The energy you feel listening to Primus just jumps out of you so genuinely that it's obvious you're feeling what all of us Primus fans feel. I enjoy watching your amazement just like was many years ago and still.
There is a longer version of this very performance at Woodstock '94 that has been mostly edited out of recordings that I find nowadays, but in the middle of that bass solo he breaks out into "The Star Spangled Banner" like Jimi Hendrix did in '69. That version exists on the live CD that was released in '94.
Fugazi has awesome bass lines in fact a lot of music the singing becomes secondary to my ear I pick up on the rhythm section and fugazi is a band that the lyrics and singing grows on me but the bass and drums are really good
@@casvandijck9338 it took an embarrassing amount of time for me to recognise them lol, I must’ve been like 10 and I seen them on Saturday night rage, I can’t remember the guest host but I remember too many puppies 🙌
"Sit back and have a cup 'o joe, and watch the wheels go round." The Woodstock performance is my favorite version of this song. Watching Les Claypool march around the stage to keep time is nothing short of fucking majestic.
One thing for sure about primus is that once you do get into their more popular songs, you'll definitely grow to love their much more odd and reclusive ones. Definitely looking forward to more primus reactions in the future, but for now I'll recommend rumble of the diesel or American life.
Primus - Welcome To This World, DMV, Professor Nutbutter’s House Of Treats and Southbound Pachyderm. All solid tunes with awesome drums and bass...and aren’t too wacky. P.s. Primus sucks...
Fun fact Les tried out for Metallica back in the day. Story goes that apparently he was playing Kirk Hammets parts on a bass and Metallica was so blown away the just stood there for a minute staring. Then James just looked at him and told him that he needs to just do his own thing cause he is was to good for Metallica. Best band of th 90s in my opinion. Three dudes that make more noise than anyone and some how make it sound original and legendary.
Primus once did a cover of Pink Floyd's Have a Cigar, and Les Claypool had another band called the Fearless Frog Brigade who did a whole live album cover of Animals.
That was a live recording of the second set of his Halloween ball. They teased the Wall with have a cigar first set, then came out playing Animals in entirety the one album Floyd never played live due to completely.
Same at the last guy. My absolute favorite Primus song. That constant bass line is entrancing. Sailing the Seas of Cheese is amazing cover to cover. Frizzle Fry is a great album as well. Keep it up and stay safe !
Les did it better himself. "Hello all you boys 'n girls, I'd like to take to the inside world, it's a plenty irregular place to be, but never fear, you're safe with me... Well, maybe..."
I would give anything to have experienced one of the three Woodstock’s. My obsession with 99 is ungodly, despite the chaos anyone who ever attended says it was the best week of their life.
Mort Mort Mort seen GWAR about 100 times before Brockie passed big ole alien cock spewing all over never got old for some disturbing reason 🤣🤣 but i just can’t get into the “new” singers style. He was with GWAR way back in the early days and left and i respect his history with the group just miss Dave and always will.
Woodstock '94, I was there! My buddy John and I were on the right side of the stage (Claypool's left), about 100 or so feet from the stage. You can see us in some of the footage of their set. You should check out "My Name Is Mud" from this performance. So many people started throwing mud on stage that they had to stop the song.
Just saw them live opening for slayer at Slayers second to last show ever. At The Forum. Have a few videos of Primus and Slayer. Never saw Primus before. They were excellent. And played many of the songs I was hoping to hear.
Man. Cant believe the age of some music. The time has definitely passed too quickly. Love this song. Not only do I still listen to it pretty frequently, it gets stuck in my head a lot. Something about the beat and him yelling all high pitched and funny sounding. "hayyy yaaaa" haha
Saw them for the first time in Norfolk ,Virginia at a venue called the Boathouse opening for Fishbone around 1991.Needless to say,everyone spent one time or another that night airborne. I didn’t like Primus until I was baptized in their glory that night. The floor was shaking from the band and the stomping of the crowd. This song was the opener ,too. Blew my mind.
Love these Primus reactions. These guys are more than talented, all of their albums have different sounds. My favorite is Speghetti Western or Over the Electric grapevine
It’s funny when people who don’t know anything about prints sees a clip of a concert with thousands of fans chanting. “Primus Sucks!!!!” And get so confused, thinking they’re trying to boo them off the stage when in fact they’re loving every bass-tumping guitar-squealing moment. So yeah... in case you didn’t get it... “Primus Sucks!!!” Is a good thing. Pretend it’s opposite-day, every day there’s a Primus concert! Lol! PRIMUS SUCKS!!!!!
Gotta check out some Nine Inch Nails! The Woodstock performance of "Reptile" or playing "Something I Can Never Have" on the piano then "Down in It" since everyone usually goes straight to "Closer"
Primus is, entertaining, creative, fun, outrageous etc etc .... They do all of this and just maintain such a high level of musicianship. Check out some of their songs with the lyrics to see what Les is talking about.
That one and Pressman are two Primus songs I never really got. Maybe they're cool performed live at a real intimate venue, but I think the studio versions are kinda boring, plus they have roughly the same chorus riff and appear way to close to each other on the most boring part of an otherwise great album. If I were to cut ANY tracks from that album (which is one of my all-time favorites), it'd be those two tracks. (Hell, I'd even keep the title track and "Hail Santa")
@@Dhakadice hail santa is absolute garbage, nature boy is a total banger though, primus is one of my favorite bands ever but hail santa is atrocious!!! How dare you!!!
@@loftin92 Yeah, but it works in context. I agree that Nature Boy is better than Pressman, but I still feel like putting those two songs on the same album (and so close to each other) makes the entire middle feel like filler.
The Primus sucks thing was a joke that the band came up with years ago. Les has gone on record saying that he doesn't like it anymore and wishes he never said it, but dumb people still end up chanting it at shows even though the band no longer likes it.
@@waynestumbo2408 I first saw Primus in 1989. I've seen them and Les other projects over 30 times. I'm aware of the tradition and that they don't suck. Les just said years ago he was tired of hearing it and that the joke wasn't funny to him anymore. But whatever ...
I was wondering if someone was going to suggest that. It's such a hypnotizing sound. Kinda hits the subconscious like that musical instrument called a 'Jews Harp'.. at least it always has for me.. goosebumps every time I hear those instruments.
As much as people talk about how great Les Claypool is, and he's probably the goat at bass, the guitarist Larry LaLonde is the unsung hero of this band.
The only band in the world that rules and sucks at the same time!
You forget about Green Jello
Mindless Self Indulgence does that too.
PRIMUS SUCKS!
Go back a few decades and listen to Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention
Primus sucks!
“Primus sucks!” is a rallying cry amongst Primus fans
Only us Primus fans know!!! I've been trying to tell everyone else!!! Thank you!!!
It's what prompted them to title their first live album "Suck on This".

Been married for three years now. If I had that poster it’d be in our bedroom right above our headboard.

Came here to suggest this. Absolute classic, they had more to them than jokes and a funky sound.

@@Matt-ob3it All of them good. I think they mean Herb tho
React to Santana 1969 Woodstock Soul Sacrifice. You won't be disappointed
The fact that you like Primus just makes my lifetime man, Thanks! And that strut is the stuff, kinda Chuck Barryish!.
The song is about Barstow
:-p
Embrace the weirdness that is PRIMUS. ✌️❤️🎵🎶
Man. Cant believe the age of some music. The time has definitely passed too quickly. Love this song. Not only do I still listen to it pretty frequently, it gets stuck in my head a lot. Something about the beat and him yelling all high pitched and funny sounding. "hayyy yaaaa" haha
Well now you absolutely have to check out Wynona's Big Brown Beaver.
I have👍🏾
I just saw! Man, it took a lot of restraint on my part not to burst out laughing when you paused that second time! Great videos sir!
Saw them for the first time in Norfolk ,Virginia at a venue called the Boathouse opening for Fishbone around 1991.Needless to say,everyone spent one time or another that night airborne. I didn’t like Primus until I was baptized in their glory that night. The floor was shaking from the band and the stomping of the crowd. This song was the opener ,too. Blew my mind.
Deftones - Be Quiet And Drive
Love these Primus reactions. These guys are more than talented, all of their albums have different sounds. My favorite is Speghetti Western or Over the Electric grapevine
It’s funny when people who don’t know anything about prints sees a clip of a concert with thousands of fans chanting. “Primus Sucks!!!!” And get so confused, thinking they’re trying to boo them off the stage when in fact they’re loving every bass-tumping guitar-squealing moment.
So yeah... in case you didn’t get it... “Primus Sucks!!!” Is a good thing. Pretend it’s opposite-day, every day there’s a Primus concert! Lol!
PRIMUS SUCKS!!!!!
You seriously need to go to a Primus show. They NEVER disappoint!
Gotta check out some Nine Inch Nails! The Woodstock performance of "Reptile" or playing "Something I Can Never Have" on the piano then "Down in It" since everyone usually goes straight to "Closer"
Or "The perfect drug" or "Hand that feeds".
I love this Primus performance ........ just fantastic
Primus sucks! And we're better because of them! So glad that they exist.
Request to see a reaction to Mr Bungle - Pink Cigarette!
Primus is, entertaining, creative, fun, outrageous etc etc .... They do all of this and just maintain such a high level of musicianship. Check out some of their songs with the lyrics to see what Les is talking about.
Now try Seasick Steve. He makes his own musical instruments. "Cant teach an old dog new tricks"....lol
Some people kick ass, some play trash, and then there's Steve who kicks ass by playing trash.
I don't know why I keep seeing your Primus videos come up but I'm glad to see it looks like you're becoming a fan.
You should listen to "beezelbub" - Beat Antique (w/ Les Claypool)
Dude your impressions of les are the best. Makes my day evertime.
Primus sucks!
We all can't say we haven't stomped around like that listening to Primus. It is fun!
Primus song- Nature Boy
That one and Pressman are two Primus songs I never really got.
Maybe they're cool performed live at a real intimate venue, but I think the studio versions are kinda boring,
plus they have roughly the same chorus riff and appear way to close to each other on the most boring part of an otherwise great album.
If I were to cut ANY tracks from that album (which is one of my all-time favorites), it'd be those two tracks.
(Hell, I'd even keep the title track and "Hail Santa")
@@Dhakadice hail santa is absolute garbage, nature boy is a total banger though, primus is one of my favorite bands ever but hail santa is atrocious!!! How dare you!!!
@@loftin92
Yeah, but it works in context.
I agree that Nature Boy is better than Pressman, but I still feel like putting those two songs on the same album (and so close to each other) makes the entire middle feel like filler.
September 1st '21 and just discovered my favorite reactor reacting to my favorite band ❤ ♥ 💕 💖 💙 💗 ❤
You should check out Primus - "Fish On"
It's a story about fishing.
So it's the fish trilogy, John the fisherman, fish on, ole diamond back sturgeon. It tells the story from different perspectives.
Jamal your vids have been getting me thru tough times. Love your work. Keep strong in 2021!!
Can you react to the doors ?
Great song would be
-Light my fire
-The end
-Riders of the storm
-L.A Woman
The energy at Primus shows is so unique! Some of the most fun shows I’ve been to ever!
Can you react to Primus- John the fisherman? its hillarious xD
I remember jamming to this when I got the Woodstock ‘94 cd. I was 11 and MTV was awesome.
The Primus sucks thing was a joke that the band came up with years ago. Les has gone on record saying that he doesn't like it anymore and wishes he never said it, but dumb people still end up chanting it at shows even though the band no longer likes it.
They’ve embraced it at this point
considered a tradition. we know they don't suck
Runaway gets it. That shit was fun 30 years ago. The novelty wore off well over 20 years ago. Move along noobs
@@waynestumbo2408 I first saw Primus in 1989. I've seen them and Les other projects over 30 times. I'm aware of the tradition and that they don't suck. Les just said years ago he was tired of hearing it and that the joke wasn't funny to him anymore. But whatever ...
I’m so glad you keep an open mind and don’t just hate on other Genres of music. My new favorite reviewer! Jamal 4 all...
DEFTONES: Kimdrakula, Combat or Beware!
The most entertaining segement youv'e produced as yet. Fun, Fun, Fun. Love your adlib!
You need to See les claypool playing whamola! There is a Video called long in the tooth (about 15 Minutes long), worth it!
I was wondering if someone was going to suggest that. It's such a hypnotizing sound. Kinda hits the subconscious like that musical instrument called a 'Jews Harp'.. at least it always has for me.. goosebumps every time I hear those instruments.
@@uoabigaillevey the wet thumb rubbing in a pot Solo is awesome!
As much as people talk about how great Les Claypool is, and he's probably the goat at bass, the guitarist Larry LaLonde is the unsung hero of this band.
