MY Daughter Reacts To PRIMUS - My Name Is Mud (Official Video) | PATREON Reaction 🔥 (Allen W)

[@ogfail1867]

Les Claypool is the singer and bass player, he's one of the best players ever. Don't try to understand their videos, they are just silly. I feel like most of their songs are just an excuse for them to play music and they throw lyrics on top. Sit back and enjoy the tasty bass grooves.

[@aricandresen]

I agree I fell like their music is just a crazy good jam session then they sprinkle in sum lyrics

[@BoutTime73]

Him and flea are the bass killers for sure

If you listen to Les' lyrics, his stuff is actually really deep and nothing random about it. 90s in general had really neat music videos.

Their singer Les Claypool is an amazing next level bass player who is respected by almost everyone, but he is very odd. Fun fact. He tried out to be the bass player in Metallica at one point.

[@pentheroliver3794]

Primus is a unique band kind of Psycadelic Funk Metal/ eperimental Rock. Les Claypool alwais like weird stuff like he did "Primus & the Chocolate Factory with ther Fungi Ensemble". Pork Soda , the album with My name is Mud is such a masterpiece , when it came out everyone was blown away!

[@LaptopLarry330]

This song and music video is a complex, sophisticated production. The music video might be classified as video art. It cannot be interpreted universally. It means different things to different people. That is good art, in my opinion. The musicianship is excellent in this song. The lead guitar work is even more complex than that in Living Colour, and that is saying something. The bass work is killer, and the drum work is very polished, and the transitions are well-timed, and well-executed. Primus performs like a Swiss or Japanese timepiece, made with the best parts and materials.

[@opalviking]

I saw these guys at Woodstock ‘94! They’re their own genre. Their performance of Those Damned Blue Collar Tweakers at that show is worth a listen... and I’m moshing under the camera crane stage left! PRIMUS SUCKS! 🤘

Tommy The Cat is a solid next choice. From there I'd go: Jerry Was A Racecar Driver; DMV; Lacquer Head; Shake Hands With Beef. All of their music and videos are awesome, but I think those five will give the widest cross section of their catalog. Kind regards! I thoroughly enjoy your reactions.

[@ianh6845]

The people in the spa were actors. The actor at the end was drinking "Pork Soda", which is the name of the album this song is from. The singer/bass-player Les Claypool was in character as 'Mud' in the video. The other two band members faces were never shown. I've always thought of Primus in the same vain as Frank Zappa. They do whatever the frick they want, are great musicians and take that seriously, while the lyrics are more or less secondary to the music. He has fun with it, no doubt. There is no band like Primus. Also it's pronounced like "Prime-Us". Y'all are awesome. \,,/

Primus - Tommy the Cat and Jerry Was A Racecar Driver are 2 of their huge hits. Les Claypool is the bassist and singer, and is a really nice guy. I got to meet him once years ago back when we owned a bar here in New Orleans. He was in town with a side project, Flying Frog Brigade. He plays fretless bass on most of these songs, which is a big reason (along with some other big fretless players), why I decided to play strictly fretless bass myself - thing is, I'm nowhere NEAR as good as he is 😂

Your daughter is right about this being one of Primus’ more simplistic melodies. Les usually goes absolutely nuts on the bass but this one was totally different. Also, Les is from Cali. Far from country. But the sound has this 90’s rural influence mixed with funkadelic influence and some metal. They really are an amazing band. Also, the lyrics are meant to be stupid and shocking. It’s all about the musicianship. Jerry Was A Racecar Driver is their best song. You should do that one. I’d love to see the reactions.
