Primus - Greet The Sacred Cow (live)

[@CartoonKidOLLY]

This song is criminally underrated

[@sgtbaker2072]

Is it??

[@enaidealukal9203]

@@sgtbaker2072 yeah I mean you don't see it getting mentioned as often as, say, Tommy the Cat or Jerry Was a Racecar Driver, when at least for some fans its arguably one of their very best tracks ever. Also an EPIC bass line, even by the extremely lofty standards Les obviously sets

[@psychedelicfright85]

Antipop is underrated period. You never hear about that album at all.

[@jacobv8447]

fucking right

[@markryans7108]

Fr and it's also about war in the ,middle east

[@CartoonKidOLLY]

Ugh the antipop is such a good album

[@CarltheGirafe]

look at all those girls enjoying primus.... why aren't they real?

[@freakystyley4000]

There is nothing sexier than a woman enjoying Primus. And I'm gay.

[@UrFavGuyInABassProShopHat12345]

It’s crazy that this comment was made when I was 2 and ima bouta start highschool

[@wagnerfebres7856]

​@@UrFavGuyInABassProShopHat12345 It's also crazy that you like Primus being so young. Keep rockin'!

[@kevinsepe2881]

underrated song from an underrated album..

[@Ubarberet]

Kevin Sepe So true

[@archieeekhoff6294]

+Kevin Sepe I agree 100%.

[@Man_Ray78]

+Kevin Sepe it's another level-album. It's sad that it did'nt get the approoval of the masses it deserves. Interscopes focus on that time was Limp Bizkit and nu-metalstuff

[@rohan750]

+Kevin Sepe yeah i love this album soo good

[@patrickbateman9553]

Fatalsprigs Yeah naah man, this album is golden.. Dark Primus! Fuck yeah!

[@Threshingfloor814]

By far one of their most underrated songs.

[@Primusaur]

Primus is everything i ever wanted in music and much MUCH more

[@theosarissky2129]

I agree. For me it's same

[@maggiehenehan4085]

Couldn't have said it better myself. But so are Mr. Bungle, NoMeansNo & Acid Bath...for me

[@Natural11001001]

Everyone likes to hate on the Antipop album, but this is one of my favorite Primus songs. Great performance!

[@chef2542]

Who's hating on this album??

[@douvier]

Antipop is their best and funkiest album, i´ve got it ;)

[@waltysalamander]

Ironically one of their “poppiest” albums but still has some really solid tracks!

[@Lazzie_the_Psilocybe_Deity]

Best one the best albums in existence

[@rohan750]

@@waltysalamander how's it poppy? there's heaps of heavy tracks on it!

[@cameronj279]

@TheBlazingBassist he's the reason thousands of people play bass.....myself included. the man is a true inspiration

[@enaidealukal9203]

not the reason he I started playing bass, but he's definitely the reason I learned how to slap/pop, and so was also a gateway into a whole bunch of genres I had never considered prior to that (funk, prog, jazz, etc- I was a pretty strictly alt/metal guy before getting into Primus, which led to learning to how to play slap/pop style, which lead to checking out these other genres I never followed before that)

[@KCG]

Dude. Primus influenced Tool. Primus has been around since 1984.

[@markryans7108]

People think it's the other way around sadly

[@Steely_Fran]

I think this is one of their best songs. I saw them on this tour with Buckethead as the opener. It was amazing.

[@HikoSeijuroXIII]

No man ought to be this good with this instrument.

[@JimmyDiggs87]

i completely agree. everything sounds clear and crisp, and they're playing so tightly together!

[@neonom1024]

love the end "i'll tell you when i'm finished, fuckers, i wrote the song!"

[@Slipknot4769]

I just got Antipop this week, and holy shit I'm impressed. Best album I've heard so far. I've also heard Pork Soda and The Brown Album.

[@theosarissky2129]

I agree. It's very impressive. I think It's frist album I heard from Primus

[@brucegriffin1404]

Omg tales from the punch bowl is my favorite, im assuming you’ve checked that out in the past 3 years since you left the comment lol.

[@brucegriffin1404]

Better check out tales from the punch bowl lol

[@cosmicraindeer]

One of the best vids of Primus.. Thank you for showing this.😎

[@kernjiro]

ah, i remember this. this marks the last time there was something worth watching on MTV

[@preachercaine]

man, i hate it when people say it's easy to play. it just means they're playing it wrong...besides playing is only half the battle, you have to write it first

[@Crod_]

This is like my favourite song right now

[@laneziilla8293]

Me rn, lol

[@MetalAriel]

I love the indian-style guitar riffs ^^

[@neonom1024]

love the ending. he's like, "i'll stop when i'm good and ready!"

[@usernameinvalid2675]

I keep dreaming this song in my sleep not sure why but it is what it is

[@saveiropeganobreu7692]

maybe u should greet the sacred cow

[@Dancha21]

I love this song so much, My band covered it and i have to say it was one of the funnest songs I have ever played live.

[@ragefan55]

i fucking love this song

[@eddiemoon]

DAYUM!!! KICK ASS!! i LOVE THIS SONG!!! thanks for the post!!

[@lg.2000]

Gem song !! ❤️‍🔥

[@Musistics]

Primus off the chain. Blew the roof off that live studio.

[@tokyopulis]

holy bassist!!! i salute you!

[@PhatLarkin]

claypool has some killer endurance, bass playing is like second nature... I'm so jealous

[@humanity6fl9]

line em up now.

[@vonbleak101]

Primus are and will always be amazing!!!! Bring on the FUNK!!!!

[@laneziilla8293]

Wish I could have been there 😍🤩

[@SuperMincio]

Simply the top!

[@MVT86TX]

Les has said that this is his least favorite album because the guys in the band weren't really getting along, but this was the album that introduced me to the band after seeing them at Ozzfest in 1999. Personally I love this album. It doesn't have the same sort of wacky vibes as previous albums, but it's still damn good.

[@uiruu]

@GoGoNards Props to you for not being cliche and praising Claypool. While Claypool is amazing, the other bandmembers are just as talented.

[@stairwaytoheaven7729]

crazy bass!!!

[@ColonelCompton]

hes so talented when you here his music you can almost taste his talent and smell the burnin comming of thoses strings!!!! Woo Primus !!!!!!!!!!

[@NightWolf428]

Les makes this look like its nothing, thanks for the post

[@batmandx]

ler plays what is needed, and that is better than any guitarist who feels the need to hog the attention his solo's are sick, ler is the man i am more of a herb man myself, but brain has some sick chops

[@nickrobinson5177]

One of their best songs

[@amaher15]

my old guitar teacher always said that ler must be one of the most underrated guitarists ever... then he taught me groundhogs day, now i say the same thing!

[@DelDuio]

Hi, I'm Matt Pinfield, and here's my favorite band: Everybody!

[@beauclaus]

oh, Matt Pinfield... you + Rachtman were the only reasons to watch MTV back in the day

[@doomlava8]

You forget how good some songs are until you hear them live. This one is better live for sure.

[@lidoevera]

that bass is amazing!

[@MarioKL]

I wish the video was of better quality, the performance is brilliant!

[@briandrum1]

I was doing lights for the Gathering of the Vibes in 2000, Les was onstage before getting his gear set while the band on the 1st stage was finishing up, so I walked up to him, shook his hand and said, Les, just wanted to say your other band sucks"...he looked at me puzzled, smiled, and said thanks!

[@rareluck]

You nailed that one LOL!!!

[@scottviverette14]

A friend of mind his daughter turned me on to primus I've been a fan every since

[@nicklight321]

Yeah Primus amazing!!! I got too see Les play in st. louis last st. pattys day.. it was the day he released the fugi album so he play alot of that stuff.. I was in totally aww. Like when charlie murphy saw Rick james i saw his aura and shit.. he play a primus tease of Southbound Pachyderm but went back into david macklaster lol

[@fugoff12232]

they also just did a tour in late 2006, I was at the philly show les had laringitous so they didn't perform for long but we got to hear hamburger train.

[@the_musiccellar]

Extended tapping outro from Les 😂

[@FeelingShred]

Brian Mantia, please come back again! Brown Album and Antipop are so cool

[@arronguitar26]

Your nothing more than ...Dead Right!!! I can relate to their style in many jamming sessions with mates and maself. I want his bass guitar too, that thing looks like a teflon ride for the pinky!!!

[@drewdudy]

ok guys for all of you who gave me thumbs down you need to read this........Primus Sucks is there old catch phrase, I guess you can call it that. They used to have the crowds screaming it before they went on stage and played. The irony is that that is what helped make them famous.

[@shmegmo]

It is Brain. Tim left in '96, after Tales From the Punchbowl. Brain played on the next 3 albums, and then Tim re-joined '03.

[@lambisi]

Sick.!!! LOVE THIS ALBUM, Thanks

[@KCG]

I thought Brown was their least favored? Oh well. I love all of them. Frizzle Fry and Antipop are my favorites, though. I hope one day Brain rejoins Primus and they tour again and play a bunch of Brown and Antipop songs. I love Tim, don't get me wrong, I saw them in Fort Worth, and they played Shake Hands With Beef and it kicked my ass all over that theatre!

[@aviatoreyes]

i think when you talk about how a musician you've never met teaches you how to play, then you're a good musician.

[@TheLunnyBear]

cheers man was in a foul mood and had no idea what was meant by it lol

[@pippen79]

Mr Les Claypool is a God!

[@jeikappaelle]

The voice is not to the height but Les remains a god for his playing!

[@omarkaya42]

@BradleyVolk3 @natural11001001 You're both spot on. This is one of the most unique Primus albums due to its song structures and production which sort of broke away from the Primus formula. Green Naugahyde drops right back into the thick of it, which is fuckin' choice, but Antipop is SPECIAL, and folks will realize this even more as time goes on. Sick!

[@nuke97]

One Bad Ass Song coming right up!! served by your friends PRIMUS!!

[@bojanks15]

primus just came in my ear

[@quicheee]

Gotta love the jumpsuits.

[@johnkarnaghon6055]

Sailing the seas of cheese has been and will always be my favorite album of theirs

[@diaryofamadwhiteman9641]

Great album for sure, this to me has the funny wackiness that he does in seas of cheese in this antipop song. A lot of songs are underrated as most don't know Primus the way they should.

[@tulipsonuranus]

Filmed in 100% Technicolor with a God damned potato!

[@BradleyVolk3]

@omarkaya42 Yeah you are right about the production. That was the first Primus album that just came off sounding crystal clear to me, to be able to seperate the bass from the drumming and guitars... I just got home from seeing them live tonight in Pittsburgh! Sadly my friend, not one song from Antipop :-/ Awesome videos from that show will be posted!!! ;-)

[@onlineguy1984]

the closed hi hat work from brain is fucking mesmerizing

[@kilykorn]

claypool es una bestia!!!! no es para cualkiera primus.....el q busca tecnica, majestuosidad, locura y originalidad sabe q primus tiene todo eso.....buen guitarrista tmb eh visto muy buenos solos de el. saludos

[@mafiasays]

dude this is so ownage :) its so like his own style no1 else has this style dude how sweet..

[@Jgm-gm9wi]

What’s cool is that there are moments during the chorus that Les seems to be levitating over the crowd....or maybe he really is!!!!

[@nemanyah]

wow I never hear this song before! It's great! :)

[@EintrachtFrankfurt84]

oh I just love this "primus sucks" discussions on every goddamn video...

[@rohan750]

Nice bass playing, nice drumming

[@marioncobaretti2280]

very nice job on that one!

[@primus628]

Primus rules. I was such a primushead in the 90's all my friends call me Primus and half of them don't know my real name. Da best evah!!

[@enaidealukal9203]

counterpoint: Primus Sucks

[@werewolf2003002]

i just realized that les can pull off basically any look he wants. No matter how he dresses, it just works

[@DenjiHayakawa]

even a lobster suit

[@RedPirate42]

That's funny because the first time I heard Primus, I thought it was Weird Al. I heard 'John the fisherman' from the other room, thought it was weird Al until I got a look at him.

[@RedPirate42]

Now that's ambition, ROCK ON!!

[@bloodmoney]

Holy Cow! I see Primus Porn. Les Claypool is making so much love to that Bass.

[@Charlie1821]

I loved Brain as their drummer. Oh well, good to see Tim back with them.

[@RH-xs8gz]

It's unfair that one person has so much talent.

[@JoeyBullet222]

I wish they would play this in set lists these days, that album had alot of slap happy bass riffs in it.

[@enaidealukal9203]

obviously every Primus album is full of great bass riffs, but Anti-Pop was PARTICULARLY good. This song may be my favorite Primus bass-line period (up there with Tommy, at any rate), and Lacquer Head is really close behind.

[@wompus6570]

The only songs from this album that Les seems to like are Dirty Drowning Man and Coattails of a Deadman, so we're probably not going to see this one live.

[@soptamer]

there is NO one who can "sing" the way claypool does it! it's nothing like i have ever heard before! brand new.. i love them.. they were the reason i got back into music after 4 years of not playing at all, i heard them for the first time in my life, the next day i went to the music store got a bass guitar and started playing again... i plied drums and keybord before! now i play ONLY BASS!!!

[@trevmason2352]

I wouldn’t say he can sing 😂 but that’s what makes it unique

[@kev1n12]

Love this song.

[@drewdudy]

Primus Sucks is there old catch phrase, I guess you can call it that. They used to have the crowds screaming it before they went on stage and played. The irony is that that is what helped make them famous. so really i love primus with a passion. so do you get it?:??

[@NelsonRomaine]

Yeah I love that song too.

[@soccerprog226]

this version is so much better than the album version. no doubt.

[@lorenzotiella227]

Insane performance bro

[@natehead]

Ummm... they've toured a couple times in the past few years. They did a tour performing Frizzlefry and Seas of Cheese in '03 and '04 and then they came back around to do Pork Soda and Tales From the Punchbowl later in '04. They also released a DVD/mini called "Animals Should Not Try to Act Like People" in '02 (?) So yeah... they're takin a break again...

[@aJazzcat]

if i remember, he's used the black CT 4 string a lot of times. in a video of lacquer head live he's using it. im pretty sure that he got it w/ black finish tho

[@nilefly]

siiiick. I wish they hadn't stopped playing the Antipop stuff live.

[@skippy_oz]

@GoGoNards Its actually the one Claypool enjoyed recording the least, lets not even mention touring. No wonder its the last one.

[@jimbo236]

Les is such a demon on that bass man.

[@PaolaiBenny]

@Glennardthebassist I happen to be a female and I cannot get my eyes off them and I just love this sultry bass.
