Les Claypool is the bizzomb, indeed.

And yes, Junktion, Frizzle Fry does kick some ass.

I aquired quite a collection of live shows, including
several that are all improv. They are all very unique.
Aside from the vocals the cover of Animals rocks. Even the
vocals aren't awful, but obviously les claypool doesn't
sound like waters.

Oh, this is very nice. I've been without internet for a
while (still am), and didn't know anything about it. I will
pre-order since I have every other Les Claypool related CD.

Anyway, my favourite is Pork Soda.

boredom encompasses my time

but you won't believe that it's true....

I cannot decide which of these four is the best:
Sailing the Seas of Cheese
Pork Soda
Tales From the Punchbowl
Brown Album (deffinately unterrated ,you're right
Oddioblender)

And I can't believe nobody mentioned Suk on This! which is
among the best live albums I've had pleasure to listen to.

By the way, their return was kind of dissapointing to me.
Not really bad, but I expected much more from the original
lineup.

i agree, a couple of songs were good, but it didn't blow me
away. the DVD was worth the money though.

I haven't seen the dvd content. This one I've stolen ftom
the internets. No remorse, I spent a big sum of money on
their releases in high school.

well, the videos are quite cool , and there's some decent
bonus material. supposedly they're working on something new
now, with a possible tour this summer.

They should cross the ocean for once and then cross the Oder

I LOVE primus.... last show I'd seen them I broke 2 teeth in
the mosh pit..... Ironically to Sgt. Baker...... why do I
like that song again ?

frizzle fry is really good. it's interesting that it is
because Larry didn't really write the guitar for most of the
songs.. So they sound like more of a main part of the song,
rather than a complimentary part to the bassline, like
usual. It makes it sound much heavier when he's playing a
lot of chords on that album, rather than the simple few-note
lines he usually does.

I really like how the brown album was recorded.. I like the
sound of the drums especially.. even though brain isn't as
unique as a drummer.

Also, someone should point out Les owes a lot of his
annoying vocal style to the Residents... Also the occasional
weird, deliberately-crappy sounding guitar leads remind me a
lot of the Residents as well.

the residents are one of les's favourite bands and a massive
influence, sure he's wearing a residents tv in bill and teds
bogus journey

brain is super talented, he drums nowhere near his abality
in primus, remember reading in a drum mag that when he was
learning drums he took lessons from 5 different teachers,
for different days of the week

PRIMUS SUCK

Heh, that's exactly what I don't like about Frizzle Fry. I
prefere LaLonde's later complementary style. These few notes
once in a while add much more to the songs than riffs in my
opinion.

brain's actually drumming for tom waits now, or at least he
was on "Real Gone."

i also like Frizzle Fry - the guitars are definitely more
full on that release than any other... but i always liked
that weird panning guitar solo on "Through the Electric
Grapevine" and the odd-train-guitar sound from "Hamburger
Train."

i really have a tough time choosing between Seas of Cheese,
Pork Soda and Punchbowl.

i do think people talk a bit too much shit about Brown Album
though - it has its moments too.

Brown Album is great, different, more laid back, but very
high on my charts. Actually, on every Primus' album there is
a song I don't like, except on BA.

Antipop is the one I wouldn't recommend to anyone. Well,
maybe if a 14 year old kid asked me for introduction to
Primus I would point at Frizzle Fry and Antipop, but that's
it.

yep. I like some songs. 'over the falls' most of all.

yes, i think i listened to "antipop" less than any other
album, brown album though, lots of good times. it's for the
hardcore primus fan to appreciate though.
