PRIMUS - SHAKE HANDS WITH BEEF | REACTION

[@curttuckfield5565]

The Brown Album is so underrated.

[@walylama1672]

Real spill straight from the horses mouth: “A buddy of mine was a vegetarian” says Claypool. “Whenever he would fall off the wagon, he would say, ‘Oh, I’m going to go shake hands with beef.’ So it sort of became this metaphor for deviating from the norm.”

[@trojanlamb909]

Southbound pachyderm is a completely different Primus experience. I listen to that song the most.

[@TalixZen]

HIGHLY recommend!!!

[@pabloscobar958]

the live version on hallucino genetics is amazing

[@CanyoneroTimbo]

Lacquer Head!

[@CompanyMega]

CanyoneroTimbo absolutely

[@wallacetownsend8384]

Damn right boy!

You're god damn right.

Word up! Lacquer head next!

[@luke-kz6qr]

the love I have for primus will last a lifetime that's for certain

[@jasonex4027]

Yeah. Primus sucks.

[@Bunke09]

@@jasonex4027 Yup

[@robchapman4275]

Damn right

[@Magumba_State]

Absolutely!

[@Lord_Verminaard]

This song is a masterpiece. The bass, drums, guitars, the groove, everything. Actually, everything from "The Brown Album" is fantastic, it's one of my top albums from Primus.

[@jdaddy1962]

PRIMUS SUCKS!! Fans will get it. 🤘

[@kennybrace]

You have got to check out “Over the Electric Grapevine”. One of the grooviest Primus songs.

[@patrickrasmussen2666]

Sooooooo goood!

[@jeremydraper733]

Pretty damn good, tales from the punch bowl is a pretty solid album

[@mattpfarr5992]

This is the perfect time to check out Buckethead . I see Brian " brain " Mantia is the drummer in this video who also played with Buckethead in the group Praxis with Bootsy Collins and introduced Les Claypool to Buckethead also also had a band called Colonel Claypool's Bucket of Bernie Brains. Long story short Brain is an awesome drummer, check out some Buckethead homeboy!

[@ClaytonMacleod]

Primus is so unique that back at the beginning of the MP3 the people who were in charge of the ID3 data tagging format, with categories for song name, artist, track number, genre, etc., decided that “Primus” would be one of the genre categories along with rock, country, pop, blues, and the rest. “Primus” was an official genre selection, because they didn’t fit into any other. Hehe

[@GLMarrocos]

Man, listen to To Many Puppies. I guarantee you'll not be disappointed.

[@GJRight]

You should react to Primus, “Jilly’s on Smack” live version.

[@bassage13]

Here's a new band for you to try. Reverend Horton Heat -"The Devil's Chasing Me."

[@musicfeedsthesoultg5318]

Great band 🤘🤘

[@Daddy53751]

“Baddest of the bad!”

[@bassage13]

@@Daddy53751 I'm listening to that one right now! Another great one.

[@danielstucky3794]

Oh,most definitely. I think he'd like the Rev.

[@psychonaut1829]

wiggle stick

[@sacramento60]

like most Primus songs, its actually just about pulling the pud

[@mikewright256]

Anti Pop from Primus

[@bloodraven8501]

React to The Claypool Lennon Delirium

[@jefffisher7909]

Southbound Pachyderm. I think you'd dig it the most! 🤘

[@joemurray2523]

I dunno bud, I feel like that's one of their less accessible songs.. took me a while to get into that. Brown Album was my first Primus album and Shake Hands with Beef grabs you by the balls! (I like Southbound Pachyderm now, but it took me a few listens)

[@jefffisher7909]

Already watched Mr Krinkle and that ones way out. Not sure there is a easy way into Primus. Dive in and sink or swim. 🤘

[@DocRobert]

If you do Southbound Pachyderm, I recommend the official video. It’s brilliant claymation Primus weirdness. Also check out the official video of their cover of Devil Went Down To Georgia for more of the same. :)

[@blairbowers769]

I keep requesting that one too

[@JDines]

There is actual footage of Claypool confirming the "Mostly Vegetarian Friend" back story as what this song was written about.

[@jeremydraper733]

When you said “where the hell have I been” I feel so bad, glad people are giving these bands a try and enjoying them. Liking hip hop and all that is fine but I feel like most people have a very narrow understanding of how much variety rock has until they’ve heard some of it. Then they’re like damn I didn’t know music this complex or creative or weird or chill, even existed. Seeing people get into tool, primus, Pink Floyd, rush, zeppelin, and be like damn this shits good why have I never heard of these people, really shows how people need to be more open minded about rock music, it’s not all depressing, fast down strumming with screaming vocals, it can be funny, and chill, and deep, or just fun and interesting.

[@jeremydraper733]

HAROLD OF THE ROCKS from their frizzle fry album

[@tomt714]

Love it bro!! PRIMUS SUCKS!!

[@danielkinn782]

Yeah buddy!!!

[@Noledann]

Funky it is! Would love to see you react to "Frizzle Fry" an awesome jamming song from the whole band. :D

[@Motorfreak0414]

Can u plz do Primus SOUTHBOUND PACHYDERM

[@TheUnknown285]

Look into "The Air is Getting Slippery."

[@tpu55]

Funk detected.

[@duke_rabbit]

This is my favorite primus song. When are you going to do DEATH GRIPS Guillotine?

[@TalixZen]

I love that track!

[@borderlandsreaper2301]

Love seeing music I loved growing up affect others in such a positive way! Love ya man, keep the reactions coming!

[@SSGSativa]

Same here! Probably won't ever have a child of my own but I would introduce them to all my music from when I was growing up. I love sharing, especially something you enjoy that makes someone happy.

[@robertcutting4007]

I love your open mindedness and you're right this band knows how to funk things up! Thanks for that

[@vaaal7551]

PRIMUS -"Over the Fall" 🇷🇺🇺🇸💪

[@ep8470]

Just figured that one out on guitar...kinda easy...Shake hands with beef is very difficult but, I'm getting it.. so much fun to play primus

[@pigcharmer9926]

ahuенная песня

[@joehynes5452]

Fantastic bassline

[@craighiebert3384]

If you haven't already done it, check out "The Crunge" by Led Zeppelin.

[@Desu-Desu-Chan-San]

Give "Lacquer Head" a go, probably my fav Primus tune.

[@ronponce8238]

More Primus! Also, more RUSH. Drummer, lyricist Neil Peart has passed. Hell, dedicate a full week to RUSH

[@Van1973Auken]

If you want to understand Primus, I would suggest you listen to Don't Eat The Yellow Snow and Nanook Rubs It by Frank Zappa. I often say, Primus picked up where Frank left off.

[@trentfreeman7992]

Dude les is a beast on the bass but we gotta give credit to Brain on the drums... That dude can jam

[@mikejohnson-dl7vt]

The "head moves+expressions" say it all!💪😎👍

[@bobinchainz]

Do a reaction to some 311. Another band full of white boiz that’ll make your head bob

[@xyz-ns7ym]

Lacquer head 👍

[@thehillbillychasidchronicles07]

I agree with the Lacquer Head comments, but one of my personal favorites is a cover of Jerry Reed's "Amos Moses".

[@danbardos3498]

This album features new drummer Bryan "Brain" Mantia, whose style was more funky and hip-hop related. Great drummer who could shred the nar-nar rad! Check out Colonel Claypool's Bucket of Bernie Brains. A Les side project of him, Buckethead, Bryan and Bernie Worrel of Parliament-Funkadelic fame on keyboards.

[@drewagoosa68]

Amos Moses is a fun cover song by Primus

[@drewagoosa68]

also: Lacquer Head The Anti-Pop Sgt. Baker

[@daveschwarz]

Better try WEEN if you like originality. Roses are free would be a good start.

[@claycarmine55]

I second this. Ween is everything, and everything is turning brown.

[@tiges1972]

Primus put the “P” in Phunk! 😂

[@pablogonzalez4044]

>"nobody sounds like them" Mr Bungle and Nuclear Rabbit would like a word with you.

[@TheRapscallion86]

Your well spoken observations on Primus these past few weeks on their utterly unique sound and creativity earned a sub from me. Keep up the great content!

[@MrDnble76]

Solid reactions!!!! I enjoy your persona!!! Eclectic electric is a great one

[@anti-socialmedia8195]

Imagine hearing & watching this for the first time tripping ball on some shrooms. Needless to say I have been a Primus fan ever since.

[@pinkribbonskies5731]

Not the best song from Primus. Over the falls much better pick from Brown Album. But Jamal is right...we here for that bass!!!

[@19tc85]

In honor of the sudden passing of Neil Peart, drummer for Rush, I think a reaction for ‘Clockwork Angels’ should be done. R.I.P. Neil

[@lukoshey79]

This album dropped when I was in highschool, I remember our art teacher coming into class one Monday morning and saying, do you guys know Primus, they have the best song on MTV right now! Yes Indeed, yes sir... This was the song...

[@lukoshey79]

@nynetynyne heeee heeeee, I was learning drums at the time, we were all into Primus and Mr bungle, one afternoon during lunch hour at school we were allowed to play in the music room, but decided to lock ourselves in and just jam, so when lunch was over and school resumed we didn't give a flying fuck, we just turned everything up and continued, they were banging on the doors, but we thought, let's give our high school a free show, blazing loud, and they simply couldn't stop us, it was so beautiful and nasty and loud, we knew we would get in trouble eventually but pleaded, "ohh we didn't know, we were in the groove, in the moment, huh and the whole fucking school had to hear us trying to play Primus songs, I still laugh till this day....who? Us? We didn't know! Huh haaaaa

[@colinedmunds2238]

There’s some Coolio vibes going on with the cinematography. They pantomimed to a slowed down track and then sped the footage up in post to the proper tempo of the song, giving them that insect-like jerky motion

[@EricfromBloatGames]

Great review! Check out "Coattails of a Deadman" or "Anti-pop" by Primus :)

[@vatninn]

I've always loved Primus, but I liked them better with with Tim on drums.

[@sedition4267]

Yes...Living Color-Black Men can rock it out. Primus-yes, White Men can funk it up.

[@dianajemison105]

Funky beef! I just read that Neil Peart, Rush's legendary drummer, has died at 67 of brain cancer. Can we have a reaction to some Rush as a tribute, please?

[@MieSyzygy]

First concert I got to go alone with a friend to was Primus and Helmet in 1995 at the Hornet Training Center in Charlotte, NC. Seen them/Les/The Frog Brigade so many times since then I can't even count, even went to the Willy Wonka tour. Definitely a good show every time. Im really into the fact that you're getting into them. A very underrated band, Les is primo when it comes to bass. 🎸 Primus sucks!!

[@Hophner]

King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard - Self Immolate If you're on the hunt for any more rabbit holes to go down, I highly recommend King Gizz 👌

[@jarodeddy859]

Since you've gotten so into Primus, it's time to check out Sausage - Riddles Are Abound Tonight. Sausage is the original Primus lineup before they ever released an album. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mIinlqWOZ7p2e9U

[@CompanyMega]

Professor Nutbutters House of Treats!

[@raulortiz5560]

Do Sgt. Baker by Primus. Talk about an odd groove lol.

[@leebaldwin7665]

Try some In the Moment a very underrated band but very good.. try big bad wolf

[@ep8470]

No, always have the lyrics to any song...

[@darynx]

IIRC Les tried out for Metallica and they told him he was too good to play with them.

[@philanaemic]

I believe the song was written about a friend of Claypool's that would try to stick to vegetarianism but would occaisionally fall off the wagon and "shake hands with beef" was his metaphor for sneaking out for a burger.

[@ollyhudson9931]

Primus - Welcome To This World, DMV, Professor Nutbutter’s House Of Treats and Southbound Pachyderm. All solid tunes with awesome drums and bass...and aren’t too wacky. P.s. Primus sucks...

[@jurgenvanboi165]

Always feels like a genuine reaction, great stuff. You could rinse the life from that album whilst discovering some amazing stuff at the same time. There’s about 8 tracks on thar Brown album that couldn’t fail to get those shoulders moving. Kalamazoo, Dutches and the Proverbial, The chastising of Renegade and Golden boy are personal faves that are well worth a listen, here or on your headphones during the night shift. Keep em coming

[@tolerants231]

Yo Jamal I'm sure you would've enjoyed them in concert in 97

[@MST3Killa]

Lol, loving these Primus reactions. Lacquer Head....Pudding Time... American Life... Golden Boy... so many classics.

[@kvothearcane6418]

you should react to Faith No More - Epic

[@joelarms2171]

Epic is their WORST song imo.

[@tomdinoulis2611]

Check out Primus Lee Van Cleef.

[@marioa.gonzalez1013]

If I remember correctly, Claypool did once said it was about a friend of his who is vegetarian, but will occasionally dable into eating meat, hence "he shakes hands with beef every now or then".

[@stimpsonjcat26]

We got a winner!

[@Nickel138]

Drums are off the chain on the one.

[@maidentallica]

Would love to see your reaction to Melvins video for The Talking Horse. Potato quality only on KZbin, but you get the gist.

[@Magumba_State]

We need some more primus!!

[@xxbattleformxx]

love these videos! my votes for their song - Lee Van Cleef :)

[@snoekhoek]

If you dig this, you gotta listen to their song Professor Nutbutter.

[@ep8470]

Puff Tijuana smalls and shake hands with beef

[@Acoustribute]

Love your vids bro... Gotta do Fishbone! Les (bassist from Primus) has said that Fishbone was the band everyone was in awe of back in the day. "Fight the youth" would be a mind blowing introduction to them...

[@mgrocki]

LOOK UP BATTLE METAL BY TURISAS!!!!!! I'M TELLING YOU, YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!!!

[@jeffrey9195]

I don't know what's better, the songs or Jamal's faces and reactions! Love it!

This is directed by Beef Bass Les Claypool, himself A live performance had Claypool saying that Primus played with Living Colour :)

[@psychonaut1829]

They crank up the stank on the funk on this one.

[@caseyguillot1628]

Laquerhead has the funkiest bass

[@craigdunn2683]

It’s just good Fun music, Primus is the bomb

[@jacobg8707]

It feels like one of the last rock genres you haven't kinda touched yet is the main stream-pop 80's hair metal - Motley Crue, Ratt, Ozzy Osbourne, Guns n' Roses, Bon Jovi, etc =)

[@GrimrDirge]

Less Claypool had a vegetarian friend who would eat meat on occasion. "Shake hands with beef" became an inside metaphor for doing something you normally wouldn't.

[@spiralarchitect2248]

Hey man. I enjoy your videos. I think you should react to a band called Therapy? They're kind of obscure. Not really mainstream, but they have a unique sound. Songs you might like. Crooked Timber. Still Hurts Callow. Unbeliever. Straight Life. If It Kills Me. Other bands you might enjoy. Fire Woman by the Cult. Albatross by Corrosion Of Conformity. Surrounded By Idiots by Wrathchild America.

[@jcmfer1]

[@linusfotograf]

Those drums!

[@JimmyRichardsonIII]

Anti-Pop

[@platonicdescartes]

For a different, but still unique, side of Les Claypool, try his newest band The Claypool Lennon Delirium. A good song to start with is "Oxycontin Girl" or "Breath of a Salesman" from their first album.

[@RastaSaiyaman]

Indeed, there's no other band which sounds like Primus BUT Primus did get some of their sound from other bands, the most obvious being King Crimson. You should look up their song "Elephant Talk" to truly hear the influence King Crimson had on Primus. Look up the live version they did on "Fridays" you won't believe years and eyes when you see what those cats did.

[@noracola5285]

I thought it was a hj reference 🙈😏

[@Benni-rp9or]

I was fortunate enough to see Les Claypool cover Pink Floyd's Animals in Portland some years back, I think you can find it on youtube (or similar concerts), you should check it out.

[@bobbysafford9708]

Your seeming to enjoy Primus. Did you look at the link I sent w/ Primus & Geddy Lee?? We had a devastating loss this week, The Professor Neil Peart died Tuesday. Would really like to see some more Rush, if you get around to it. Afterimage would be a good one.

[@barryfurlong3094]

Les Claypool is a bass master.. He will slap the life out of a bass guitar.. Mr krinkle is a good tune, and Les gives it large on a chello.. Lovin your reactions to these bands i know and love.. I subscribed to your channel last night and havnt stopped watchin since.. Rock on!!! 🤘🤘

[@jurinejurine]

Hey! New subscriber here because the algorithms brought to your channel because of your PRIMUS reacts. I've been a huge fan of theirs for years. How do you go about suggesting to you videos to react to? I've got some weird stuff that I would like to put on your radar.

[@sophisticated_metalhead9806]

I'm so enjoying this journey with you, young man. You have great taste and your followers have made some great suggestions. It might be time for Gojira...either Born in Winter or Heaviest Matter of the Universe (preferably both). I love them so much I drove 5 hours to see them in concert in St Louis all by my old ass self. LOL

[@sacramento60]

more Primus greatness: Kalamazoo Bob's party time lounge Professor nut butter's house of treats Mr. Know it all Pudding time Fish on Sgt. Baker To Defy the laws of tradition Southbound pachederm Is it Luck Just to name a few. Also Les Claypool has like 10 side projects. Sausage and Holy Mackerel are a couple of goodens
