Primus Big Day Out 2014 Melbourne - Damn Blue Collar Tweekers

That guitar swap was absolutely epic.

[@mallowmarkerdon8144]

holy shit just noticed

[@dpspike9368]

Les is THE wizard on that bass, but all three of them are pretty f-ing incredible.

Thank you for uploading this. I got the ticket just to see primus. I didn’t even watch any of the other bands and left straight after their set.

[@carlosvera9169]

Mr. Tim Alexander!! Bravo.

[@NewSideOfTheBridge]

Gotta watch this to remember everything I forgot.

[@carlosvera9169]

Claypool, Lalonde y Alexander son lo máximo! Los amo. 😎

[@mgtkmg]

One of the best tunes. Got that heavy back beat, and then straight into the heart of the beat. And then the string echoing with the drums.

That bass guitar is so damn beautiful. I'm gonna build one.

[@-Bishop-]

Haha, good luck!

[@tobiastk5391]

I have build projects with my dad and uncle in my spare time building instruments, i'm currently bulding a telecaster. But i've already built a 6 string fretless bass. Plays beautifully and actually sounds similar to both of Les' 6 strings. Expensive but to my liking. I think it'll be a fun project, trying to build a pachyderm bass

[@-Bishop-]

@@tobiastk5391 Nice! If you do happen to build it, can you upload a video about it on your channel?

[@debbstraw579]

Id watch a video on a custom built pachyderm/ carl Thompson, hope it comes out killer bro

As a bass player for 35 years, Ivr always respected Les. But always thought it was kinda gimmicky or something...idk, I was just too closed minded when I was a younger musician...it wasn't til recently that I've seen his true genius. So unique. His overall songwriting, is genius

They used to not suck.. they just got old and it hurts to thrash and mosh. Im 25 and full of energy and when I go to concerts like this...there is a handful of party animals and 95% of the rest of the people look like stick figures. I feel like the odd ball out every time. Brit floyd was worse for me. I had at least 10 people come tell me that I was the youngest one in the crowd, and again im 25..that really really made me sad to think that I don't belong in my generation.
