Went with a friend to see Primus open for Rush on their Roll the Bones tour ('92) in Atlanta. We were talking to a guy sitting behind us about how many times have you seen Rush etc etc. and he mentioned, " I don't know anything about Primus. Are they any good?" and we were like, "Dude, just wait!" Primus, opening for their childhood heroes, pulled out all the stops. At one point, Les pulled out an electric standup bass and bow and launched into a blistering instrumental version of Led Zeppelin's Kashmir. Itwas awesome! We asked him what he thought when the set was over, and he only said two words, "Holy s**t!" Great show!

That tour was where I first caught them live, in Seattle. Great show from start to finish. Claypool's rendition of Master Of Puppets stands out for me.

I wanted to see them on that tour, but I don't like Rush & being confined to a seat during a Primus gig would be torture 🤟😁

You need more Primus in your life, check out more of their songs

Primus, to me is a "genetic Frankenstein" of Rush, Pink Floyd, King Crimson, and Frank Zappa. The more you listen to them, the more apparent that will become. They have a wealth of weird from which to draw. What drew me in was Les' incredible, and innovative bassline on "Jerry Was a Racecar Driver" (which was also my introduction to fretless 6-string basses).

Primus made no pretense that they were huge Rush fans (They are a trio w/ a bassist on vocals) and their live album 'Suck on this' in 1989 started w/ the opening notes of 'YYZ' by Rush... and Les Claypool is a huge fan of Geddy Lee.

Geddy is also a huge fan of Les.

YAY PRIMUS! It's about time you got to their weirdness here's another Primus. I'm not sure about the quality cause I only listened to make sure the sound was good. Figured I'd experience for the first time with you lol. Thanks neighbor! kzbin.info/www/bejne/onqsiYunr9maY6c
