tried listening to sailing the seas of cheese a while ago.


used to love it


the guitar playing bugs the {censored} out of me, even though the bass and drums are great.



For me it is his bass "playing!" I cants stand it. I like the Benny Hill factor BUT, I could never get round his intonation.

Good fun though!

:wave:

I used to be a huge fan and still am, just don't listen to them as much. I unfortunately only got t o see them once during the Anti-Pop tour but I have seen Les' Frog Brigade about 8 times. I love how he will do an entire Floyd album or side at his shows. They do a great job of covering it and making it their own. Les is THE best rock bass player. period.

Primus Sucks! ;)
But really, have you ever heard Les and Larry's band before Primus?
It's was a thrash band called Blind Illusion and they really did suck.
One time I read that Les tried out for Metallica after cliff died.
He showed up and said.."So do you guy's want to jam on some Isley Brohter's tunes? Doh!!! Needless to say he didn't get the job.

Check out Blind Illusion on youtube

wiki'd ;)

 

In 1986, after the death of Metallica bassist Cliff Burton, Claypool auditioned to play bass for Metallica. It is rumored that his failure to obtain the position was due to his style being "too funky". In Metallica's Behind the Music, Claypool said that during the audition he wanted the others to "jam on some Isley Brothers tunes", after Lars Ulrich asked whether he's "not really used to playing this kind of music". James Hetfield remarked jokingly that Claypool didn't win the job because "he was too good."

 

I remember watching part of the Metallica BTM and lol'ing

Primus is great. They're just one of those bands that some people are really into and other folks just don't dig it at all.


I love the guitar playing on everything they've done. Larry LaLonde rocks.

 

 

I've found girls don't get into Primus so much.
