I went to a concert with A Perfect Circle, Puscifer and Primus just a few months ago. It was a celebration of Maynards 60th birthday. Each band played 3 songs and then the next band would come on and play 3 songs. With three intermissions and all the bands on stage for the final 3 songs. It was so special and Primus stole the show for me.

Primus was an odd band in which Les Claypool's bass was the primary instrument... The trio were huge fans of Rush (the opening track of 'Frizzle Fry' started w/ the opening notes of Rush's 'YYZ' before cutting off) In 2004, Primus released a live DVD 'Hallucino-Genetics -live 2004'...which was a concert video of Primus performing the entire 'Frizzle Fry' album live, featuring the classic Primus line-up: Les Claypool (bass/ vocals), Larry LaLonde (guitar) and Tim 'Herb' Alexander (drums) Originally formed in the 80's in California, Primus were an odd trio that didn't fit in between the glam rock bands (Motley Crue, Ratt...) and thrash metal bands (Metallica, Exodus...) and every time they played a gig, the audience would become irate and start chanting, "Primus sucks!" ... and that became the band's motto 😂 By 1988, the original trio of Les Claypool (bass/ vocals), Todd Huth (guitar) and Jay Lane (drums) recorded the demo 'Sausage' and had written most of the songs on 'Frizzle Fry' that they performed live... but the response was abysmal... Both Huth and Lane quit Primus and were replaced by former Possessed guitarist Larry LaLonde and drummer Tim 'Herb' Alexander by 1989... They decided to record a show that year and released a live album independently as Primus' debut album 'Suck on this' in 1989. It sold enough to raise money & record 'Frizzle Fry' in the studio w/ co-producer Matt Winegar. It was released in 1990 on the indie label Caroline Records. Primus wrote weird and wacky lyrics that drew on heavy sarcasm and dark humor... 'Too many puppies' for example, was a song against gun violence in America ('Puppies' referred to young kids) ... 'John the fisherman' was one of the characters u would find in the deep country in America... Same w/ 'Mr. Knowitall'... Les Claypool drew a lot of inspiration from characters referred to as 'white trash' in America 😂 (One of his later songs 'My name is Mud' is a perfect example) 'Frizzle Fry' sold well against all odds and Primus was signed to Interscope Records in 1991 and released their 2nd studio album 'Sailing the Seas of Cheese' which got MTV airplay and went gold (half a million copies sold) in the US.

Guitarist Larry LaLonde was in the band Possessed, who had major influence on what would become know as Death Metal, though they were at the time part of the Bay Area Trash scene which gave us Metallica and Exodus amoung others. Larry was a student of guitar wizard Joe Satriani, who also taught Steve Vai, Kirk Hammett and Alex Skolnick, from Testament. Larry met bassist/vocalist Les Claypool when they were both in another Bay Area band called Blind Illusion for the Sane Asylum record. That band was Thrash, but with some Prog Rock elements. There is live footage on here somewhere of a Blind Illusion show in Philadelphia that I was at. It's good footage and was a great show. Anyway, Larry and Les hit it off and this was the result. Not like anything else for sure. Great record. I saw Primus three or four times back in the day and it was always a good time. "Primus Sucks!" That's an running joke for Primus fans.

When it's time to bring a little bit of heavy, well, he knows how to do that with the best of them.

Korn, Deftones, Incubus, Muse, Mastodon and even The Dillinger Escape Plan, have considered Primus an influence on their sound. For a bunch of oddities they have had a huge influence on many of the alt metal bands we today. Some people jokingly call the band "Tool for hillbillies" due to the out there nature almost otherworldly sound of the music similar to what Tool might do but a bit more wackiness and humor. Speaking of which, they are very close friends of Maynard James Keenan and were featured alongside with him in his Sessanta tour where he celebrated his 60th birthday alongside Keenan's bands A Perfect Circle and Puscifer, similar when he turned 50th (the Cinquetta tour in 2014) invited another group of friends of his, Failure (another band I hope you tackle in the future too. They are also super influential in the sound of many bands today).

Before joining Primus, guitarist Larry LaLonde played in a band called Possessed - often considered to be the first death metal band - and in his younger years, he took lessons from legendary guitar virtuoso Joe Satriani - the same guy Kirk Hammett of Metallica took lessons from.

Molly if you liked Primus you should check out "Duckstab" by The Residents. Les Claypool was heavily influenced by The Residents. Also would love to see you finish your journey with The Smashing Pumpkins original lineup and check out Machina the Machines of God.

They did a live album before this called 'Suck on This'. The little sample at the beginning is from that. I highly recommend you listen to that. It's absolutely balls out amazing.

originally, the album ended with To Defy as the outro track, then Hello Skinny/Constantinople was added as a bonus track for the 2002 reissue

My absolute favorite Primus record. Heavy, groovy, funky, dark at times, a truly unique record. Three absolute consummate top tier musicians. As a side note, and I"m sure someone else has said this...Larry Lalonde and Les Claypool played in a thrash band called Blind Illusion prior to Primus. David Silvera--former drummer of Korn- was HUGELY influenced by Tim Herb Alexander.

I sure hope you listen to more Primus! When I think of 90's psychedelia, I think of the sound this band conjures into existence. Primus can be ominous, they can get a little bit old timey, a lot of bit funky, and there's always excellent musicianship from every angle.

“I’m sure there’s a deeper meaning to these lyrics, but I’m just imagining a puppy with a gun in its hand” lol I’m glad you caught onto the fact that there’s probably a deeper meaning to the lyrics, but Too Many Puppies has more meaning than most Primus songs tbh. Usually Primus is very literal with their lyrics, and if they say “a puppy with a gun in its hand” the songs most likely just about a puppy with a gun in its hand lmaoo. This song actually does have a deeper meaning though, the puppies represent soldiers. “Too Many Puppies that’re trained not to bark at the sight of blood that must be spilled so that we can maintain our oil fields”. Whenever you realize what the deeper meaning is, all of the lyrics make a lot more sense

Yay Primus! They were the only band to have their own section on itunes and are largely undefinable due to them being such a great combo of jazz/metal/funk/rock elements but not really being in just one. Please do a couple more albums to hear while they dont sound similar they all sound like Primus. Also recommend two of Les' other projects Flying Frog Brigade and Oysterhead. Hello again after watching the whole video. Info dump incoming. So as far as the band goes Les Claypool (bass and vocals), Larry "Ler" LaLonde, and Tim "Herb" Alexander. The bass is very much the lead instrument while Larry usually plays some atmospheric, soloish stuff as backup on guitar is very different than what you'll hear most bands play. Les has described Tim's Drum playing as "If a gorilla took a jaunty stroll on a drumset." Somehow it all works beautifully. Primus' music was a breath of fresh air when I first heard them in the early 90's because as you said they are very unique. The songs tend to be about quirky people or experiences the band has had over the years. Too Many Puppies was about the Gulf war and American military in general training young kids, or "puppies" to go to war so your description was spot on. Hello Skinny/Constantinople are covers of songs by the Residents. A VERY weird band for VERY weird people but I love them as well. Primus is my favorite band of all time so I implore you to continue to at least Sailing the Seas of Cheese and Pork Soda, the golden 3 of the band so to speak. They change drummers later with Bryan "Brain" Mantia and recorded Brown Album and Antipop. Bryan's drum playing is also very unique and different from Tim's but also fir the band wonderfully. Les also did the theme songs for South Park and Robot Chicken tv shows.

What's awesome is Primus unique instrument lineup, with Claypool's bass taking a lead position with a rhythm guitar as backup (and every band member is incredible to boot) I'm aching for you to give Queens of the Stone Age a go, Songs for the Deaf is one of the loudest albums ever put to print~

You're probably familiar with Eminem's "My Name Is". Well the first lyric of Eminems debut song (censored version) was "Hey kids do you like Primus". I still think is a nod to the way Les Claypool can say a paragraph of lyrics in an instant. Wait till you hear Primus' Tommy the Cat.

They certainly have a very singular style to their music, at least based on what I've heard. I found this album to be very entertaining, I never knew what to expect with each track. I'll definitely have to give more of their stuff a listen, including Tales From The Punchbowl.

Now here is a incredibly unique band....I love this guys. Have ever tried some time react to 1 song instead of a hole Album form any band at all. You might get more out of one song then the hole album. 1 album 1 video as you do right now. 1 album 12 songs 12 separate videos if U were to do by songs
