Primus, "My Name Is Mud" Live At Rockpalast Festival 1997

[@saucybaka4439]

I've never seen les dressed so normally

[@ilovebabyyoda712]

Big change from the music video lol😂😂😂😂

[@8bitKatwalk]

everyone else that played at the event dressed up as clowns so he is actually out of place.

[@Southtown_Paint_Appz]

I almost thought this was Les’ Mexican cholo cousin 🤔🤔😂😂

[@ericsprinkle4739]

His dress is part of what makes this so great

[@liamheaton8198]

ikr

[@antoliimayra1356]

I still can't get over how he can play such an aggressive bass line and sing at the same time and just look chill.

[@Twirlip2]

Ah! Singing - so that's what that strange noise was!

[@daxriggs9958]

Acid

He's not "just" doing that. That's tough stuff

[@hesnotdeadhesjustdelicous]

it’s actually a super easy baseline les clay pool is such a legend he makes easy things look difficult but in reality it’s just quality music, if you think this is something watch him play jerry was a racecar driver

[@matiasclavell7244]

00:11 is the most violent sound i ever heard from an instrument

[@6AL-4V]

We will never hear anything like this again.

[@erikerikerikerikerik]

The 90’s were so good. That crowd doesn’t know how good they have it.

[@mortenfrosthansen84]

These guys weren't that known, and there were loads and loads of good rockbands.. Just think Metallica then and GnR. They sold out bigger than NFL and the Olympics

[@AlphaPoppa38]

They didn’t make very good songs but they played their instruments well.

[@erikadavila6574]

Exactly my thoughts

[@Bike_Chain]

Bosnians, Yugoslavians and Russians did not have it good in the 90s. Quite the opposite in fact.

[@DocStodden]

Yes they did. Everyone back then knew how awesome it was to be alive with such great music around. Like everything was awesome. And it was pretty obvious.

[@Metalkid1500]

Les looks like he's in System Of A Down

[@UncVEVO]

Metalkid1500 Him and Serj could actually pull something off if they really wanted to

[@CMOYoung]

He should be

[@leonardonicolas4668]

He looks like a fusion of Serg and Daron

[@joshuafult84]

+MetalKid1500 Looks like he wasn't sure if he was Mike Patton or Serj Tankian

[@martinhroch344]

The best supergroup of all time would be: Maynard James Keenan - vocals Serj Tankian - vocals Larry LaLonde - lead guitar Daron Malakian - rhythm guitar Les Claypool - bass Danny Carey - drums I' do anything to make it come true.

[@zyonsdream]

Give the bass all the credit you want but that guitar work and tone is absolutely sick. Throw in a monster drummer and this is why Primus is so good. Each and every member is a master of their craft.

I can't play a straight bass line without staring at my left hand with my tongue hanging out in concentration. Les plays the worlds hardest basslines in odd time signatures while eyeballing the audience and singing, before strutting around the stage like an R Crumb comic character. A genius.

[@binglebop5877]

This song is all 4/4 it just sounds kinda wonky

[@shuckslbj]

I laughed out loud at the comparison of Les and an R Crumb 'toon... too accurate

[@DemoboyOot]

imagine 1 second. now start a sentence 1/7th into that second. Now snap your drum 7 times per second, and start saying your sentence on the second snap. It may be complex, but it's still rational.

In 1993 , nobody ever heard a song like this before. l camped out in front of my local record store along with 30 other people waiting to get the new Primus CD. What a great time to be alive.

[@jirky015]

I agree. I’d only heard of Les Claypool from reading bass magazine before I heard him play or heard of Primus. This was the first Primus song Id heard. I saw the music video. 🤯🤯🤯. I went out and bought Pork Soda immediately.

[@bertroost1675]

I bought it when I was in college and the first time I played it my roommate thought I was a nut but it really made me appreciate the weird (or forgotten and lame) side of music for the first time. I'm still on that path and I'm in my 50's.

[@bennuballbags2]
