From my memory, and it might not be totally accurate, I think someone harassed them at an early gig saying "PRIMUS SUCKS" and Les just started introducing like that. The fans grabbed hold and never let go. Primus Sucks!

[@StefanMedici]

@@ketafiend6990 yes and no. Their early gigs due to who they were opening for, or whatever it was hurled as abuse by those people, their first album was called Suck on This, and has Les saying that intro so they had embraced it very early on.

First time responder. My dad had Duplitron contractual disease way back when I was a kid. In both hands. Much worse than yours looks. One of his hands was basically a claw. He couldn't open it all the way up, even if he pounded it, palm down, on a table. They did the surgery, he did the physical therapy rehab. Fixed both of his hands (one at a time) right up, and that was the 80s. I'm SURE that what they do now is much more sophisticated. I know you are worried, and I probably would be too. But they've been fixing this for years, and I'm sure you'll be fine. Dad was. Like I said, I have never commented here until now, but I wanted to share that with you, maybe reassure you a little. Keep up the good work!

The bit here where you talk about "you don't do your research" beforehand. That's one of the things I like MOST about your channel. You're coming at it from the angle of musicianship and technique without preconceptions, helping your listeners gain a greater appreciation for the tracks... And at the same time, your listeners can come back at you with more information about their favourite bands, helping to increase your knowledge and appreciation. It's a wonderful thing. The internet (and KZbin especially) can sometimes be so full of bitterness and hatred and contention. Seeing people come together in a free-flow exchange of ideas that's a pure expression of about love (whether it's the love of music or the love of your favourite band) makes this a genuine oasis on the net. That's a special thing.

Shaking your head in disbelief, then exclaiming, "Shit," at the end is an entirely appropriate response to hearing Primus for the first time.

Don't apologize for giving us more content! Primus is fantastic! I think you'd like the flamenco technique Les uses on American Life (and several other songs). One band I haven't seen you do is Amon Amarth. They're death metal with Viking themes and mythology throughout their songs. Raise Your Horns would be a good one to check out, for the tone that Johan Hegg is able to put into his growls.

this primus piece remembered me of "can’t get the motor to start" by nick mason's fictitious sports.
