I can't believe they're not in rock and roll hall of fame yet

[@elhorrendo7026]

I can. Primus is amazing. They deserve to be there. But these “halls of fame” are more dependent on fame than talent. There are famous talented groups who belong there and some that are there that may not. Like the hip-hop hall of fame. Immortal Technique and Sage Francis will probably never get in there, but they deserve a special place of recognition for being not only among the greats, but truly independent. Primus should have a place in Rock & Roll Hall of fame. The 3 musical entities I mentioned, I imagine all don’t care if they’re in their respective hall of fame, but might take heart in knowing the world is less concerned with fame and more concerned with music that is different and truly of a category and standard beyond the main stream.

Can you imagine how different Primus would be if they didn't let Les sing lead? I saw an interview where he discussed forming his act. And so many of his closest peers told him: "you are no singer, man. Go get a singer. Or a guitarist who can sing." Les went with his gut and kept the vocals for himself. I think it worked. This song is one of my favs that he belts out! 8:25... SO GOOD!
