Primus performing "Pudding Time" live in HD

[@Heat30]

Am I the only one who thinks Ler is one of the most underrated guitarists ever. That dude can shred it up and is so stylistically versatile, but you never see him mentioned in any of these best guitarist lists.....it's kinda bullshit.

[@offensive_name6123]

He works so well with les claypool too

[@tonynewton5713]

and how about just the fact you gotta constantly fit your licks into Les' commanding bass lines? totally underrated.

[@mikakettunen7939]

Check out Ler's musical career before Primus, especially Possessed, which literally invented early death metal in 80's 💙💚💛💜

[@Retsea]

It’s just because Les is one of the greatest bassists, if not THE greatest, and the bass is the lead guitar in Primus.

[@MisterFarce]

Ler is the secret weapon. 😎

[@therollingbeachfloyd645]

Spoodeeng time

[@FreakingRockstar101]

Imagine a person who's never heard of Primus sits down to enjoy the evenings broadcast of their favorite talk show host Jimmy Kimmel, and they are assaulted by the musical complexity of Primus where they listen to a man slap a bass for 47 seconds and then in Primus voice sing "you can have a lollipop, a candy bar, a jellybean". Beautiful

[@thestevilwithin]

I love the absurdity of this performance: primus on a mainstream late night show (I know they've done plenty of them in the 90s, it blows my mind that they're still able to), bud light ads front and centre, and les singing nursery rhymes to an audience of (I suspect) mostly adults. Goddammit i love America!

[@ryan49er1]

Out of curiosity.....I wonder how many of the audience had actually heard this song before and were fans.

[@KeremcanBuyuktaskin]

Based on their reaction, almost none. But as the song progresses, I think they understand this is amazing music.

[@bradsmithstudios8881]

I’d be losing my mind if I were in the crowd. What an obscure and amazing song choice. I almost guarantee no one in this crowd had heard of this song.

[@AnthonyMitchell-en3gq]

I was wondering the same thing honestly

[@lincolnhover2449]

1% maybe 2% totally off the wall choice but I love it!!!

[@aarongonzales1350]

​@@KeremcanBuyuktaskin speak for yourself, I'm there front row at 15 and knew every word and knew every song of this small set

[@HuntChicagoHomes]

I'm gonna attempt the lyrics. "Iti-daba-lippi-pappa-kitty-pappa-jellybean-buyyouablanketdiamond of youah doah.... 's poutine tyme.."

[@jebslept8515]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

[@michaellawrence4604]

Eh, close enough

[@trevnev2780]

...children

[@YungAirheadOfficial]

Nah

[@wharsmetoothpicson9465]

Primus is one of those strange bands who were very comercially popular yet people still talk about them like they're an underground band. They were in Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey, did the theme song to South Park and had three albums in the Billboard top 10.

[@Hayden-fb3gr]

just love the way he slaps that bass

[@ScootLoops616]

Les's posture at 3:24 He knows hes the master of bass That's one cool cat that claypool!

[@coltburks5450]

That is one of the best bassists in existence going, "yup...ima baaaaahd man."

[@CheetahSnowLeopard]

I've paid so much attention to Les all this time but Ler does some fascinating stuff.

[@algovorus]

Larry is my favorite guitarist. I think he is the best.

[@poncandn1]

Ler, Fru and Page. !!!!! And for anybody who don't know that's Larry LerLonde, John Frusciante and Jimmy Page of course.

[@akashjoseph17]

My favourite also 😊

[@stephennicholas7095]

Not saying that this crowd "sucked" (which it did) buuuuut I've seen them in Vermont a few times and we ate it up like a bunch of starvin' marvin's

[@unowhavethebiggay1430]

Lol

[@Starchild-jy8ig]

That’s the most primus fan comment ive ever read

[@joshuafult84]

it's a late night appearance where the band only performed like 2 songs so it makes sense the majority of the audience aren't fans.

[@poncandn1]

This is fucking great, man! Here's Les, the old man geezer, who really kicks fucking ass..STILL! and he's choppin' and singing and serving these kids (children) their "pudding time"..and they're savoring every damn bit of it! ✊🏼🎸🎼🗣🎤🍭💲💍💵🍮🥄🤷🏻‍♀️

[@JeroenTel]

As a total fanboy of Primus, since my early teens, I was kind of disappointed how the music mix of the audio in this broadcast sounded, so I decided to remaster the audio just for fun! Simply digitally recorded it directly from this video and did my "magic". The result can be found here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aIfPioR-drCopdk Hope you guys enjoy it! Primus sucks!

[@ScootLoops616]

Better crowd than the show I was at in philly a couple weeks ago. The crowd was so weak and they were fucking killing it! So happy I got to see them live

[@CornyTelecaster49]

All 3 Primus drummers kick fucking ass

[@losvikingos6767]

Jilly’s on Smack is artwork

[@SolarCreation]

One of my favorite songs by them. I have 24 favorites by them in total. :)

[@nuke97]

Jay without the double kick action on this tune. Feels empty.

[@gregorykownacki2986]

+nuke97 You took the words right out of my mouth! I love Jay Lane but Herb is the Ginseng Drummer that acts like a silver back gorilla coming threw the jungle as Les says. Jayski has more of that hop to his beats which isn't bad but in a song like this and a lot of Frizzle, when this song gets real heavy you need that double kick that amps up like three times its speed at the end.

[@ericmoreno3550]

Yeah honestly not a bad performance from them but the crowd looked dead too. What a boring group. I would love to mosh to this

[@Beef_Curtain]

Les hates double-bass drums. Said that 2x recently to me.

[@harolddaman4213]

Agreed

[@mallowmarkerdon8144]

It's so fucking funny that it's Jimmy Fallon, and Les Claypool says "Thanks Jimmy" so fucking funny I laughed my ass off

[@chuckobscure5622]

Good performance, whats up with the audio though? Its so quiet and compressed sounding.

[@danzielinski9432]

Its Jimmy Kimmel Live. Probably good stuff but edited for television.

[@chuckobscure5622]

That's a shame, they were rocking it that night!

[@mcnell311]

Late night quietness wars

[@reddeve2531]

Hard-ass song, done a bit more mildly for the TV audience, but a great look at these 3 guys fret and drum work. Just amazing!

[@cadenwarriorgaming7476]

All nine times I've seen them the crowd was all moshpit

[@danzielinski9432]

Dat Les Claypool strut.

[@lodellas]

Yesssss

[@ScootLoops616]

Let’s not forgot about that disgusting guitar riff during les’s strut. Such a talented band.

[@ilgabarezza]

Damn, I love Primus. And I love HD.

[@brandonluck159]

And I love C.G.

[@brandonluck159]

And I

[@eqsheiky]

This makes me sad. The band did not tone it back, the people in charge of the mix scaled it back, to prevent the inevitable mosh pit that should have happened, for fear of a terrorist event.

[@Alice17Awesome]

This is one of the strangest performances I have ever loved! I still remember seeing them on Kimmel... I miss the late night life.... :)

[@PoliceBoy465]

Man, I love Herb, but Jay sounds equally as good with Les and Ler. This was a great performance.

[@kcmichelson4528]

He was one of their original drummers. Before Herb. So he's got the chemistry down

[@eddievalentin]

Mate... Awesome. Just awesome.

[@JuanOfaKind88]

It's just a damn joyful experience watching Les move around. God primus does really suck!

[@Safetysweet]

“Thanks jimmy!” Reminds me of 91-92 Les for some reason

[@tonykrch357]

I finally found an application for the whammy bar warble trick that I not only like, but where that sound was actually the perfect thing for the song! There's a first time for everything, lol. Also, leave it to Ler to change my mind on that I never thought could actually be made to sound musical. I almost feel inspired to let a "Primus sucks!" tip at the top of my lungs, but word is the boys aren't fans of that any more so I'll stifle it. 😉😁👍✌👊👏

[@kristennoelle9447]

Ler is soooo fkinnnggggg under appreciated!!!!

[@roeshambeau123]

@slmmdgg That is Ler. The drummer is Jay Lane. He was the original Primus drummer.

[@denvermoura]

WOW, thanks man!

[@sledeater5622]

Every time i listen to this song its always 4:20. On google music and a bunch of music videos.

[@I_AM_BAYTOR]

Check out this song from last year's Red Rocks show (iclips has it), that version is amazing too.

[@Terrible_Peril]

@frizzlefryfourtwenty jay is OGP, man. and a righteous drummer in his own right to be sure. yeah, i have a special place in my musical heart for herb but it's great to see jay doing more with ler and les, back as a member of primus after all this time, you know?

[@Aoeria]

@intrepgun it is jay!!! he's got wild hair now! check out the new album!

[@kaoko111]

Primus sucks so much!. I love them.

[@frizzlefryfourtwenty]

@intrepgun thats a really good point man and i do agree with it. im just saying i prefer herb. no doubt though they are all talented musicians. to be completely honest im just happy that they are putting out new music

[@Terrible_Peril]

@aoeria oh man. oh man. OH. MAN. i always end up taking primus for granted. 20+ concerts, a few amazing times backstage with the boys and cohorts, and all that brilliant music and happiness just isn't enough to keep me on track i suppose. i am THRILLED by these new events. just let me hear em play some sausage tunes and i will probably shit my pants.

[@SteveNeuge]

Just watched this on 1/2 speed. I guess that's a thing.

[@notsure7404]

mind blown...

[@sweetsoul3145]

nah, 1.5 is where its at

[@davefranklinstein-moss6555]

Avid Dnd players we just just killed 'the pudding king' in out of the abyss. This was the fight music .😂

[@SonicCrime80]

.. Have you heard any other performances EVER to say that 'this one is the best' ??

[@ChristopherRoss.]

Its the price paid for being in the same band as Les Claypool. The dude dwarfs pretty much everyone, if not with his talent then with his eccentricities.

[@SynesthesicVision]

@MrDGenocide lmfao, finally someone got that

[@Aoeria]

Respond to this video... o this is even earlier, jay's kinda got a fancy band hat!

[@Jjweeks01]

There might be like 3 people in that audience that have actually heard and like this song...or any Primus song for that matter. Kinda funny knowing that

[@Max-el7zd]

Wheres the double bass?

Well, this is so obviously a great performance but can we talk about how Kimmel looks better nowadays than he did when he was younger???

[@polsick]

Who's that ?

[@leadendeath]

Lol @ Les doing that thing he does in tight jeans 0:14

[@SolarCreation]

Yay weed!!! :D

[@ruudschra]

@ Heat30 : imho Ler is the best musician in Primus. But don't tell anyone I said that.

[@Terrible_Peril]

i'll be honest, i haven't kept up to snuff on primus' doings of late... so who the hell is this guy on drums? he's not tim, he's not jay, he's not brain... i'm scared by these new events.

[@sketchesforyou8020]

That’s Jay Lane, one of their original drummers.

[@sketchesforyou8020]

It’s Jay Lane, one of their original drummers.

[@JamesPiper1]

probably because he's a bassist.

[@slmmdgg]

wheres Ler an Herb??? Not Primus!!!

Jay Lane came back, and this is Ler. Jay Land was one of the original drummers.

Spiney Lobster Primus. They're their own genre.

[@shermith4751]

Spiney Lobster not comedy in my opinion although lots of people thinks so when they first hear it... a lot of it is social commentary/personal stories with use of characters which I think is very creative

[@spineylobster4987]

Claypool even thinks it's funny. Almost every song they do is comical. That's what I liked most about them when I first heard them in 1993.

[@ericmoreno3550]

[@skeptorr]

The genius in the original song is what the original drummer played. This dude took all the life from the drums, and consequently from the song. He sounds like a synth, removed or downgraded most of the fills. Sorry, no! Also, Primus sucks!

[@sketchesforyou8020]

Might I add that this was toned down a lot for TV audiences?

[@skeptorr]

@@sketchesforyou8020 It was a bit slower. But the soul of this song, what makes it more than just great technic is the explosive energy is has. Put on good headphones, smoke some good weed, and it can pumps up my adrenalin and endorphins so much I can break a leg and not feel it. This performance has no energy and the main reason is the drummer.
