Primus - SBS Nomad Interview

[@KrazyKittyTailz]

You don't go to a Primus concert to get laid......but rather to have a provocative $100 vocabulary lesson within Les Claypool's Absurdist Circus Maximus. I've always admired his lyrical eloquence over the decades (both Primus and solo projects.)

[@3three3three3three]

i googled "obscure primus interview" and this was the first result. thank you

[@101stonefox]

Haven't seen that for a long time. Me chanting, "You suck", in the front row. Good times.

[@randmcnally5572]

They probably asked Ler how to spell his name and he said Laloude

[@ImKevinFTW]

I'm fucking dying. I imagine that's what happened and Ler just didn't give a shit.

[@gtiszavari8429]

Man if I wasn't a kid when they were touring in the 90s I would've been a dedicated lady in the audience. Would've been so rad to see them in that era.

[@sutiszorny8039]

Mi a fasz, magyar vagy???

[@swampyfox8688]

Love the misspelling of Ler’s name.

[@stefanbas6181]

I met Les after a.show in Philly while I was tripping on mushrooms he is like cartoon character 😂

[@awllypollyas8292]

I feel like Primus defined the 90s at the time.

[@MySundin13]

Nirvana: "hold my beer"

[@matthewmcleod8706]

@Mgd_Skits hahaha

[@herm574]

[@yeahman2767]

[@acidicmarisa3755]

all of their shit while trippin has kind of an eery, rubbery feel to it.. i like it though.. its hard to describe...

[@reakwondachef6828]

I had a blast. Same with southbound pachyderm

[@YoCal_]

That was the scariest thing I have ever seen, I had a blast.

[@GrahamVL1991]

Herb has always looked totally fed up of Les' antics

[@duncansmoviesandanimation6555]

Les isn't that bad.

[@SpiralDream]

looks like he finally reached his limit

[@shizzleshot]

Les- " Ya Done Good" hahahaha

[@eir3apps]

Tim Alexandar is THA MAN.

[@lapatti]

"If they accuse you of not flossing daily Well, sing a little song A pretty little song And tell them that they're wrong"

[@Aerospacer77]

Lots of clips from their first VHS tape with Skeeter on the front. I still have it 25 years later.

[@fryBASS]

Larry LaLoude everyone. Larry LaLoude.

[@MikeRoePhonicsMusic]

And he also rejoined Primus recently. Yes, in the year 2013. They're playing a New Years Eve show & also working on a studio album.

[@felixthelmocevallosmorales41]

Leslie Edward "Les" Claypool (Richmond, California, 29 de septiembre de 1963) es un músico estadounidense, reconocido por ser un virtuoso bajista, cantante y compositor.

[@luitenant22]

[@viniciusreisyt]

He's just bald, it's not a haircut...

[@EyesHaveMiles420]

Lol, lost his hair.

[@augustjschroeder]

Only Les Claypool has a fucking whammy bar on his bass.

[@JojoRingo12345]

[@psisis7423]

[@Sgarnoncunce]

5 minute video for 30 seconds of interview

[@angelricchi1321]

There was like a minute of interview and the rest is music videos

[@angelricchi1321]

@W He says he knew Larry from another band Les has been playing in, and then he auditioned Herb

[@angelricchi1321]

@W Larry tied with Jerry Cantrell for Best Alternative Guitarist in a magazine, and instead of having photos of him looking cool playing the guitar, they had photos of Larry picking horse shoes

[@angelricchi1321]

@W no problem m8

[@jackko21]

Is their anymore clips of this show I can only find the silverchair pick me competition clip

[@nigel900]

Love um...

[@eir3apps]

That is great news! Thumbs up and hats down.

[@TheVeregat]

Herb's single bass christ....

[@dean107]

Les so fine

[@Deadly002]

I had this on tape too -- any chance you can date it? Saturday, 1, 8, 15, 22 or 29 if January 1994.

[@ShitifoundonVHS]

The 1994 Melbourne Big Day Out was January 23, and Sydney was on January 26. Primus only played those two shows of that BDO run, so the interview and crowd footage would've been shot around then and aired shortly after. Nomad was airing at 8pm on Thursdays, so there are reasonable odds that the TV air date was January 27.

[@Deadly002]

@@ShitifoundonVHS Tape also had this. kzbin.info/www/bejne/a5-pnnecqtGsmrc

[@gleventhal]

Metallica missed out on a chance to be among someone better than anyone they'll ever know. We got lucky, he would be wasted in Metallica. Metallica has been embarrassing since the black album in my opinion. But they're super-rich, so there's that.

[@Sgarnoncunce]

I think Load/reload/St anger/Death magnetic are awesome. It's only because Metallica did it that people shit on it

[@erockpatton]

The thing that sould not be is what it would have sounded like.

[@maygorfungus9094]

If Dave and Les were in Metallica we would miss out on some of the best tunes.

[@okayeahyup]

i agree

[@refractorhead]

They knew all about Les. Les and kirk were friends in high school.

[@andrewosullivan348]

Ler wooud have gotten the Metallica job

[@tabrisb20098]

Hell yeah Im a chick!!!

[@vashwolfwood5899]

Are you still one?

[@TheJetsFan4Eva]

john the fisherman

[@DanielVerberne]

1:08 - 'Larry la loude'?! LaLonde.

[@stainless921]

whats the song from 0:30 to 1:00

[@jareddeal9999]

shut up

[@spikejonzelover420]

It has been literally 10 years but just in case you don’t know still it’s called john the fisherman

[@Tomversal]

​@@spikejonzelover420 Legend says he never found out the song, one of Primus' biggest songs too 😢

[@stevemcrichards8768]

But what a sausage fest it is! Just a helicopterin' 'round!

[@tonyord1067]

Very Zappa’rish!
