Primus Mr. Knowitall live

live outlands festival 2008

[@punkfan97]

I've always been fascinated by Ler and his style of playing the most intriguing thing is how he's just a straight cable guy

[@rondohunter8966]

Lmao! Yeah you're right, he just does this music gig on the side to make a little spending money.

[@rondohunter8966]

@TheWeirdo486 I love to see the Les Claypool strut, and how he moves about. That stage is HIS!!

[@rondohunter8966]

@TheWeirdo486 Really? Isn't it? I understand he has a band but who is the lead? Who sings? Yes, it is about Les.

[@rondohunter8966]

@TheWeirdo486 Know what you mean. I Wiki'd the band to see who was who and what did they play. Of course it changes occasionally but Les is the stable core.

[@rondohunter8966]

@@PeterT1 Yep, can't disagree with that.

[@houseshoesbto]

gotta love the claypool walk

[@rondohunter8966]

Classic Claypool!! I referred to it as the Claypool Strut, but what the hey, we know what's what. I practice that walk in my living room while the sound system is cranked to 11.

[@calosalbertoverasalazar8512]

Tim, ler, les símplemente el mejor trío de la historia!!

[@rondohunter8966]

Les Claypool recently purchased a new guitar, custom built of course. While tuning it the LIGO in Baton Rouge, LA registered it as a gravitational wave but later seismic instruments concluded that this was an earthly event, not cosmic. So they think.

[@charlesxcalibur]

Bass

[@AaronAttelOfficial]

What an amazing performance! Just killer - would love to see them live! Primus is like fine wine - they just keep getting better with age! :D

[@daveholmes8745]

Watching this makes me cry... tears of pure awesomeness!!! Primus sucks!!!

[@dharmaseed]

@houseshoesbto Yup, someone already told me that. Didn't know he was the original drummer.

[@frizzlefry420oh]

@Barracuda007 thanks for sharing

[@metallicrazy8891]

Come on, guys, let's spread the word around.

[@Sergio-oe4sb]

Yes

[@sandbergius]

At first look, i thought the guitarist plays an Ovation Ultra GP... And the guy's solo stile is quite Josh Homme'ish, isn't it?

[@JaydenMcNeill]

@AtomicElbowDrop and herb was the bread. til he got replaced buy that other guy

[@AtomicElbowDrop]

@desertazul Ler is the fkin man. He is the jelly to Les's peanut butter.

Thank God Herb is back on drums, I've really missed him in Primus.

[@TVINC.]

But then he left and Jay Lane replaced him but he came back *again*

[@franko69]

@@TVINC. Yep and don't forget Brain.

[@kasonfurnas9551]

Brian the Brain was a good drummer also!

[@hollowify_tensa_zangetsu]

I know 😊

[@Vpmatt]

Just realised Herb's amazing low end sound has something to do with having two bass drums, not just one bass drum with a double kick pedal. Therefore he's got 2 bass drum skins vibrating as opposed to just one = BIG low end. Sounds awesome in this video.

[@rondohunter8966]

I know nothing of making music but I have half an idea of what you said and agree. It just sounded SO much better. I was watching Les play to try to find out where the extra beat was coming from, the guitar or the drums? So freaking cool how they meshed like that.

[@ironnads7975]

That doesn't matter. It matters how the recording is mixed.

[@GrungeDude90]

This is one band I have so much respect for their unique sound, surviving the 90s without being from Seattle, and sound amazing live... Primus Sucks

[@BlankRami]

They Suck harder than a vacuum cleaner! 🤘❤

[@Absolutely_puck_fakestine]

Thats a festival

[@rondohunter8966]

And who did South Park ask to write their theme music intro? Mr. Les Claypool and friends that's who. Not Taylor Swift, Miley Runt, no Kaynee...PRIMUS did it!

[@tommj4365]

3:00 one my favorite moments in music, when they go extra heavy

[@IHaveTheSchwartz]

Tim is absolutely epic on the buildup.

[@kevheeley83]

Fucking awesome band

[@tcstabler]

primus without Les Claypool is like bread and butter without the bread.... And butter

[@kenseavey9165]

The only band that sounds better live, over the record.

[@zuphie9680]

I still couldn't find good Jerry Was a Racecar Driver and Wynona live

[@spinblackcircles]

Good fucking lord this song is so fucking heavy

[@ApophisNow_]

This is probably my favorite song, they're just up on stage and just jam!

Mr. knowitall, antipop, and BOB are still on my wish list.

I believe Les Claypool is the BEST bassist ever, better than steve harris, victor wooten, flea... sorry if you don't like it, but no one can do what he does haha

[@IHaveTheSchwartz]

Outside of playing Frizzle front to back, this tune doesn't get a lot of play live. One of their best deep cuts...

@dharmaseed cool i just had seen primus and they played this song and i was kicked out of the show before this song came on I still am so mad at the security but from what i heard jay was pretty good on the two encore songs, this and harold of the rocks

@strangledbyastatue yea but one made history as one of the coolest fucking bass player to ever walk the earth.

@toolfan7292 It's true, both are amazing. And Primus almost goes with Tool... PRIMUS SUCKS!
