PRIMUS - LACQUER HEAD | REACTION

[@macleadg]

A lot of Primus lyrics are much more serious than they seem. It’s easy to lose them behind the great riffs and psychedelic visuals. Many layers to this band.

[@stevenx2523]

For sure, Last Salmon Man is a great example. What a stupid title, but it's this super sad song about a guy watching his family livelihood disolve. Les is great at sucking you in with the silly shit then hitting you with something powerful.

[@predeterminedmeat5024]

It was against drugs, and MTV was all "It's PROMOTING drugs!!1!" Was hilarious to watch go down.

[@Sharkey817]

Yes they suck. I sear them at Rock City in England in the 1990s

[@democracyisdying8225]

The most underrated Primus song imo.

[@LiberalsArePoop]

I never heard it before today. It's phenomenal.

[@farginicehole513]

Antipop is a great album, LAP

[@A_Name_]

I think it the best. They have tons of good stuff but this one is next level imo

[@taylorm9043]

My favorite Primus song!!

[@doomusrlc]

The Antipop album gets more flack than it should. I think it may have to do with the production though, IMO it's an early sufferer of the "loudness war"

[@aboutthemetal8783]

No one can say that less claypool isn't anything less than one of the most inventive, technically brilliant and unbelievably creative bass players to ever have lived, he is simply amazing.

[@debojohnson5354]

I love watching you learn about primus. Les claypool has been solo for awhile and has tons of other solo music too. I like all his stuff.

[@csmitharris1460]

Just want to clarify that while indeed Les has been doing his own solo/side projects for years and still today, PRIMUS is still VERY active. I've seen them 9 times between 2010 and 2019. Twice in one year a couple times. Their most recent album came out in 2017. They just finished a big tour with Slayer. SEE THEM IF YOU GET THE CHANCE! My first show changed my life.

[@debojohnson5354]

[@mattheworchard7528]

that whole album. top 5 all time albums imo

I can never pick a favorite. There are one or two albums I don’t love as much, but mostly they are all the best for different things

[@colonelpuff7352]

"American Life" and "Over the Electric Grapevine" are great! "Professor Nutbutters House of Treats" is another great one and early Primus "Sausage - Riddles are Abound Tonight" please! Soooo goooood!!

Excellent choices. I'd also love to see "Southbound Pachyderm"

[@mikelowery8430]

I'm a huge fan of Primus, and I've heard alot of their songs and I'm here to give you some of my recommendations for a possible future video, Sgt. Baker is a really good song, Hamburger Train is the perfect song if you enjoy the Bass cuz it's like 8 straight minutes of pure bass, Riddles are Abound Tonight by Sausage but it's pretty much the same group. I heavily recommend these songs

[@aaroncole3941]

That bass tho!

[@voodoojeepee]

hey Jamal if you like Les Claypool try "bloood and rockets " by : the Claypool Lennon Delirium

[@bryanstevens3229]

That whole album is amazing. I think Amethyst Realm is one of the most well written songs I've ever heard.

[@Ace-gs7fv]

Primus has made my brain go pop for the last 23 years lol They have always been in a league of there own. One of the top 10 bands for me of all time.

[@wooobenny]

if you're looking for deep dark primus you need "Jilly's on Smack"

[@marioa.gonzalez1013]

If you're enjoying Primus so far, you might wanna give Ween a try. Definitely not the same type of music, but the same realm of "weird", and both bands are friendly with each other.

I'm am really digging that you're on a PRIMUS rampage. Yes, react to Too Many Puppies. BUT, if you would, PLEASE react to TRAGEDY's A' COMIN' --- You'll LOVE it.

Speaking of the devil there is a devil went down to Georgia by primus. With a video and everything

[@schelcidbiel]

You have to listen to American Life

[@QuantifyUncertainty]

If you enjoyed this one I think you should check out Jilly's On Smack from the Green Naugahyde album. It's outside the box even for Primus. Les really branches out and gets some trippy sounds out of a bowed upright bass. Their newer albums are sadly overlooked and underrated, but they've still got it. Love watching you react to this band, keep it up!

[@CampLifeBushcraft]

oh, Hell. The Middle 1960s. EVIL EVIL. Kids were huffing GAS FUMES. Caught my little brother his friend huffing from my motorcycle gas tank, Ruined his mind, ruined my cycle motor.

[@7371mojorisin]

I've left a few comments but haven't suggested a song. This is my favorite band, I can tell you like the funk aspect of Primus but if I may, a three-piece band that produces huge sound is referred to as a "Power Trio." While Primus is a very funky trio, they are also a very POWERFUL trio. That raw, brutal power is never more evident than on the song Over The Electric Grapevine. I can't think of another trio anywhere, not hendrix, not cream, not OG grand funk railroad--no one matches the power they achieve in that song. Give it a try?

I saw your reactions to the songs from Pink Floyd's "Animals" album... given that you clearly dig Claypool, and you dig Floyd... you need to check out a side Project called Colonel Les Claypool's Fearless Flying Frog Brigade. Check out Live Frogs [Set 2]. They play the whole Pink Floyd "Animals" album live from start to finish and it's FLAT OUT AMAZING!!!!! Floyd isn't easy to cover and they just ABSOLUTELY CRUUUUUSSSSSHHH IT! 💯🐸🤘🎸🥁🎹🎵

Folks who say not to worry about the lyrics should be ignored. Les has one of the greatest comic voices in all of music. He is even a novelist! Absolutely hilarious!

[@davidphillips9726]

Les's father bought him a bass guitar to keep him from getting into the drug scene where he grew up. That's when he learned. He's a living legend.

[@davidphillips9726]

@Brian Weber Let me specify. At the time Les was coming up, meth was a hardcore epidemic in Cali, and his dad didn't want him getting caught up in the Meth life. Hence, songs like Harold of the Rocks ... I'm sure they've done their share of other drugs, but, those other drugs are not the same as meth, and that's coming from someone who was in Cali and addicted to meth at age 12, and has done almost every other drug I could get my hands on

[@davidphillips9726]

@Brian Weber Yeah, I grew up around heroine junkies, and that shit always scared me more than anything else. Never touched it. I've tried other things, but, I'm a huge weed supporter. It's helped me immensely in my life.

[@davidphillips9726]

Heroine is terrifying, more so than meth

[@davidphillips9726]

@Brian Weber same here ... If I hadn't left Cali at age 14 and moved to Ohio to live with my dad, I would've been dead or in prison, it was that bad. I'm so glad I came here and raised a family here. My kids don't know a lot of the struggle I had to survive through

[@davidphillips9726]
