Primus Sucks
 

Yes.

I used to like the south park themesong... that's the only primus song I know.

Early Primus are great. Like a funky Residents at times!

Some of the bass riffs are ridiculously awesome. Actually, just a great band, every musician is unique and talented. Some of their albums get annoying and are pretty boring to listen to from beginning to end, but I can't imagine anyone not appreciating something about them.

Really creative and good mainstream music, a rarity.

The people who worship Primus suck.

I really like Frizzle Fry, Sailing the Seas of Cheese, and Pork Soda. They kinda went stale after that, until they got to Anti-Pop, which was just garbage.

I'd say my favorite is Pork Soda. I love how wonderfully dirge-y and druggy it is.

Yes, agreed. Those three albums are just great.

Also, they boasted some really weird and dark production. I always liked that. Also one of the few bands that made decent music videos.

Not a band worth obsessiving over, but certainly having one or two albums by them is not going to be bad for anyone's mind.

I love Primus

Yeah, "Primus Sucks" is their catchphrase. I wanted to see what the reactions were. Usually there are people who know the phrase and repeat it, and people who flip out defending them. It's hilarious.

But I fucking love Larry Lalonde. Tales From the Punch Bowl, Frizzle Fry, and the Brown Album are my favorites.

Funny, LIMP BIZKIT SUCKS (also, FUCK LIMP BIZKIT) was Limp Bizkit's catchprase!

No, I think they were just aware of the fact.

What? How can you deny these lyrics?

FIGHT, FIGHT
FIGHT, FIGHT
FIGHT, FIGHT
FIGHT, FIGHT
Sometimes you gotta fight for your right
When your not sure you’re in a fight for your life right?
If you ain’t packin any tactics
You might get ass kicked
Even if you are you little knucklehead
I’m kinda sick of being aggravated
I’m glad I’m hated
I guess I’m doing something right
But that’s what happened back in Columbine
You gotta know when to stop
And not go over the top
Cause there’s a chamber deep inside the brain
It’s covered with chains
So don’t be shaking them loose
And if you do I’ll be running for the hills
Cause I’m ready to rock and now we’re playing for real
I gotta
FIGHT FIGHT
You better watch out when my adrenaline kicks I gotta
FIGHT FIGHT
IT’S TOO LATE, YOU ALREADY BEEN HIT, DAMN!
STICK ‘EM STICK ‘EM
STICK ‘EM HA HAHA STICK ‘EM
STICK ‘EM STICK ‘EM
YEAH! (Head for the barricades)
STICK ‘EM STICK ‘EM
STICK ‘EM HA HAHA STICK ‘EM
STICK ‘EM STICK ‘EM
YEAH! (Head for the barricades)
This world can make you stick to your stomach so I
Put on my headphones, listen to the Deftones
It’s getting crowded in my spaceship
Living in a dream
Running from the hate machine
You know it’s,
Such a drag when there’s people talking down to ya
Such a drag when everything sucks do ya,
Walk away with spit on your face or do ya,
Draw lines and give them a taste cause I,
Know it’s never gonna end
If it happens again I’m going straight for the throat
Another note
Don’t forget you had a chance
Now I’m over the sidelines and ready to dance
I gotta
FIGHT FIGHT
You better watch out when my adrenaline kicks I gotta
FIGHT FIGHT
IT’S TOO LATE, YOU ALREADY BEEN HIT, DAMN!
STICK ‘EM STICK ‘EM
STICK ‘EM HA HAHA STICK ‘EM
STICK ‘EM STICK ‘EM
YEAH! (Head for the barricade)
STICK ‘EM STICK ‘EM
STICK ‘EM HA HAHA STICK ‘EM
STICK ‘EM STICK ‘EM
YEAH! (Head for the barricade)
IF YOU GOT THE GUTS (Head for the barricade)
Then come on down (Head for the barricade)
IF YOU GOT THE GUTS (Head for the barricade)
Then come on down (Head for the barricade)
AND HEAD FOR THE BARRICADE
FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT
GET UP GET UP
FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT
GET UP GET UP

Wait, this is better.

When i reminisce ignorance was bliss,
Back in the days where the magic exist
Never be the same as it was, 'cuz the way it was
Just another day in the maze of a myth
Had a lot of fun living life on the run,
Never had a chance to pause to get a better glance
Everything was free and everything was fast
Never even thought it wouldn't last
When you go the mind of a man in the middle
Life is just a big fat riddle, so figure it out
Always thinking that you know
Everything little thing there is to know
But you don't really know, ya know?
It's like love, some people get it
For some it's just a glove that just never fitted
For me it's just a pain in the ass
But i'm addicted to the taste of hopin' it could last
[chorus]
Another day another night inside a lonely world
Another game another fight inside a lonely world
Another wrong another right inside a lonely world
Such a lonely world, such a lonely world
Who's the man (the man in the middle) x4
Maybe i'm a target for people that are bitter
At least i can say that i've never been a quitter
I remember high school, man i hated high school
It was like prison with bullies always putting me down
Just a little skater boy they could pick on
I learned to forgive'em, now i got the balls they can lick on
I loved sneakin' out when my mom was asleep
With my gothic girlfriend makin' love in the creek
With the mind of a man in the middle
It could be the end of the world as we know it
Still i never want it all, and i never want it now
I just want to cruise, if i loose then i'll figure it out
How the times flies, even with the blink of an eye
When you're young you absorb like a sponge in disguise
Then you get a little older and gather your thoughts
It's amazing what you learn
When you've never been taught, ya know?
[chorus]
No matter how hard i can try inside a lonely world
No one can hear me when i cry inside a lonely world
I'll never know the reasons why inside a lonely world
Such a lonely world (such a lonely world)

I love "Just a little skater boy they could pick on
I learned to forgive'em, now i got the balls they can lick on"

Okay, back to Primus.

HOW ABOUT THAT ONE BASS LINE?

That fast one at the beginning of the song before that other bass line? Yeah it totally rocks.

I like that one that goes "dumble dun dun dooble dumble dun"

And that one song where he sings like a hick. Funny every time.

Can I be part of this joke too?

Yes!!

Just send $5 to:

We'll include you in our secret club!

I'm sorry, but I think they're considerably more like a metal They Might Be Giants.

Primus is kind of like The Smiths, but with less standing around and more dry cymbals.

Haha.

I NEVER LIKED THEM BUT IT WAS MORE TO DO with the people who liked them.. metallica fans,, red hot chili pepper fans, yknow the type...wankers!

Frizzle Fry, the song, gets so fucking rockin and awesome at the end

wow, have a gold star for pointing out the obvious.

no.

I don't think I've ever seriously listened to them. Maybe I will.

Les Claypool is a great bassist, Primus in general though, not so much. They are a fun live band, I saw them years ago. The only albums I ever really got into though were Sailing the Seas of Cheese and Pork Soda. I d/l'd Frizzle Fry.

primus do suck. at least they admit it.

Primus are great musicians, but god, they are so wacky it hurts my lungs just thinking about it.

I have a friend that's been trying to get me into Primus for ages. Them and Clutch. Fucking deplorable bands. I rarely use that word, so they must be really shit. And they are.

Oh well. This bass playing is awesome.

I don't mind Primus, I don't think I could stomach a full album though.

at 4:14 it kicks into my favorite primus freak out

primus, butthole surfers, gotta love the LSD/marihuana fueled freak rock

Haha. Okay.

i love the song winonas big brown beaver.
after hearing part of the newest dellilah song my brother told me that i sing it like les claypool, but i told him i was trying to sound like the residents. then i realized the the singing can be similar at times between the two bands
only the residents are waaaay better

at what? remaining obscure and irrelevant?

;)

kidding!

(been rocking the delilah CD, switching it off between that and the Doors in my car
makes for a nice contrast)

glad to hear you like it! (im assuming you like it?)

you betcha.

there are a couple of songs that are extra delicious.

I fucking hate Primus. Talented guys but really fucking annoying.
