    I picked up their album at the weekend but I haven't had an opportunity
    to listen to ityet.

    Been hearing alot about them over Usenet...

    
    
    	I saw them open for 24-7 Spyz awhile ago.  They were pretty cool
    but could use a full-time singer.  
    	
    	What's the name of their latest release?.... something like "Fizzle
    Fry"?  
    
    
    Paul

    
    Yes, Frizzle Fry.
    
    Flip

    Its sailing the sea of cheese.. I saw the video for Jerry is a race car
    driver. I liked it.
    

    
    We're talking about the name of the album...
    
    8^)

    So was I?
    

    
    I've just heard "Jerry is a race car driver",very strange!!but the
    funny thing is,the song is almost hypnotic.The off the wall bass
    playing,the singing and the lyrics.I wouldn't be suprised if there was
    subliminal messages to go and kill your parents as the song was so
    weird....is the rest of the album like this??

    Something, something, "White Collar Dweebies," yada, yada was on the Z-Rock
    Top 50 last night.  Wicked weird s***.

    On Paul McCarron's recommendation, I picked up an older Primus release
    called "Suck On This" today.  It's a live recording done back in '89
    apparently between the Frizzle Fry album and Sailing the Seas of Cheese
    (I haven't heard either of these).  
    
    It's punk/funk/rock kind of music mixture.  I guess it probably fits
    more under the "alternative" classification then "metal" but it's real
    interesting!  The bass playing is absolutely incredible!
    
    Hey Paul, you said a few notes back that they needed a full time
    singer?  Why?  I think they sound fine the way they are.

    	Re: Les' voice
    
    	I guess I should update that... back then I thought Les' singing
    style was pretty horrible and bizarre... now it's just bizarre. 8^)
    
    	The more I listen the more I like it.  It does kinda fit the band.
                                                    
    	
    Paul

    I'd agree with that, he's got a pretty odd sounding voice.  Very
    different and unusual.  I like it in the context of their music.  It's
    a weird frequency range that nothing else is playing it so it sticks
    out like a sore thumb.  Perhaps that's what struck you as bizarre about
    it.

    from what I've heard of this band they seem to be really good.The bass
    player is very good and the lyrics are different and interesting.Vocals
    are a iffy but not everyone has to sing like they gargle broken glass.

    	Like Greg mentioned, it's sort of a running joke they have going.
    I read an interview with Les and he was saying how it works out for the
    band.  Kinda hard to get a bad review. 8^)
    
    	It's pretty funny hearing a few thousand people screaming "Primus
    sucks!" trying to get the band back for an encore. 8^)
    
    
    Paul

    I noticed on MTV's Year in Rock show last weekend that they showed
    footage from Primus's song "John The Fisherman".  That's a cool song, I
    didn't realize there was a video for it.  
    
    Guess *I'll* never get to see it, not mainstream enough for MTV...

    I just got "Sailing the Seas of Cheese" at lunchtime today and am
    listening to it as I type this.  My initial impression is that it's not
    as good as "Suck On This".  I like the version of Tommy The Cat on that
    one MUCH better (but it's still a killer song on this one).
    
    I even caught Friz singin it at lunch...  8-o

    Yeah, I was a little surprised too.  "Suck On This" kicks major booty!

    I wonder if Primus is still the rage in Cherry Hill?

    I recently saw Primus's new album in a store.  Has anyone here gotten
    it yet?  What do you think?
    
    I have several of theirs and the only one that really blows me away is
    "Suck On This", the live one.  Seas of Cheese is overprocessed, Frizzle
    Fry is too harsh and busy sounding (but better then Seas...), Misc.
    Debris (EP) is all covers and mostly noise.
    
    gh

    I've got it. It's called Pork Soda. I like it but I liked Seas too. It
    is more mellower sonically. Les has toned down the bass but it is good
    stuff anyway.
    It has 16 tracks, if I remember correctly.
    
    Chris Vermette

    Is is real "produced" like Seas?  Or is it just real cluttered and
    cacophonous like Frizzle Fry?
    
    My favorite Primus album is Suck on This, which was recorded live, and
    therefore had to be stripped to the bone.  It's fantastic, most of the
    others are just too much.
    
    gh

    To my untrained ear. I would say yes.
    
    oh yea : re: -1

    That just opened me too a lot of s**t 

    
    I caught the video to their new single "Mr.Cringle" and it's very.very
    weird@!It's basically a guy in a pig suit,playing the double bass while
    acrobats and about 100 other things are going on in the back
    ground.Very..*very* strange! I watched it with a friend who said he
    couldn't really call it shite as he didn't understand it properly and
    even though it was very bizarre it was very watchable.

    	I just finished listening to "Sailing the Seas of Cheese", and

    	The bass guitar is the best part of the band, but it's still
    	not enough to save them.
    
    							GTI

    I've got it too and it was for one song "Tommy the cat",the rest is way
    out there and too much for me.About the only thing else I liked about
    it was the sampling they lifted from the series "the young ones" which
    made me laugh a bit!
    
    
    						ian

    
    tommy the cat and jerry was a racecar driver rulez!!!  yeah, these guys
    are rather abstract, you can either take it or leave it i guess.  they
    eventually sort of grow on you, like a fungus...  as musicians though,
    they definately FAR from suck!  these guys jam out...
    
    

    
    	I'll probably give it one more listen, but I really don't
    	think it'll get any better.
    
    							GTI

    I like the band a lot. But I ahve to agree with both of the recent
    arguements. they can jam (if it is any consolation - bass on the entire
    album is a six string fretless) and it needs to grow on you, but I do
    also refer to them as an obnoxious band to listen to. 
    
    I like Sailing the Seas of Cheese the best.
    
    just my pesos worth
    
    chris " Here they come, Here they come ..." Vermette
    

    Yes, I can see how some people would find Primus to be irritating, but
    personally, I like it.
    
    FWIW, I haven't heard "Pork Soda", but of the other albums, I consider
    "Sailing the Seas of Cheese" to be the worst of the bunch.  It's way
    overproduced, overeffected, and over-overdubbed and sounds like mush. 
    I much prefer the stripped down sound they had on "Suck on This", their
    first album (recorded live).  The version of "Tommy The Cat" on that
    one rips the "Seas of Cheese" version to shreds.
    
    Greg

    re: -1 
    I can't say that I've heard that one. I have fizzle fry an wasn't to
    impressed with the sound. Maybe I'll give it another try tonight and
    see if I feel the same.
    
    Until tomorrow,
    Chris

    re: Chris
    
    I like Frizzle Fry quite a bit better then Seas of Cheese, but it can
    still get annoying at times.  The studio albums I've heard just don't
    do these guys justice, IMHO.
    
    Greg

	AGREED, I saw these guys with Tad after the release of StSoC and
	they rooled on stage.  LA all the way... Great rhythm...the guitarist
	used to play for a death metal band, but I can't recall who...

>    the guitarist used to play for a death metal band, but I can't recall

    His name's Larry LaLonde (not sure of the spelling on the last name). 
    I don't remember the name of the death band he played with, but
    I do recall thinking I never heard of 'em when I read it once.  I read
    an interview with him once and he commented that the death metal thing
    got stale for him real fast and felt immature (or something to that
    effect).

    Okay, I have yet to hear them live and in Concert. So I guess can
    understand that one.

    I haven't actually seen 'em in person myself, but I do have "Suck On
    This", which was recorded live, and I've seen clips of them playing on
    TV a couple of times.  (They ripped a killer groove on "Jerry Is A Race
    Car Driver" on some MTV show just a week or two ago!)
    
    Greg

    They seemed to be a live oriented band. The "energy" in the songs and
    that bass seemed to indicate that they would have a lot more fun live
    than just recording.
    
    I hear they put ona hell of a show!

    larry Lawhatshisface was in a band called "The Possessed" that were

    You know, every once in a while I get caught ingoring a band until very
    late in the game.  I've seen a lot of print and mention of Primus, but
    I never heard anything or made an effort to.
    
    But now, the King Crimson internet distribution list is abuzz with
    lots of talk about the similarities between these two bands.  Huh?
    King Crimson?  One of the best that EVER were!
    
    And I hear they do a cover of KC's "Thela Hun Gingeet" on tour!  Now
    any band with the taste to cover that is something to check out in my
    book...
    
    So, now with a bunch of CD's out, I don't know where to start.  Experts?

    covering that one.

    My consistant advice on the place to start with Primus is their first
    album, "Suck On This".  It's live, it's raw, and it captures the
    essence of the band.

    Well..I also happen to love King Crimson (all incarnations).  I still
    think "Seas of Cheese" blows compared to the other Primus albums. 
    But..it's still an interesting album.  I just wouldn't start my tour of
    the band with that one.  I haven't heard "Pork Soda" (their most
    recent) in it's entirity, but what I've heard sounds quite a bit
    better.  (Although it'd be hard to live without "Jerry Is A Racecar
    Driver")
    
    Greg 
            

    
    	I got "Pork Soda" the other day ... still not overly impressed
    	with these guys.
    
    	Yes, they jam ... but it's not GOOD jamming, IMO.
    
    							GTI

    
    Well, I just picked up my first.  Seemed to be strong for and against
    on "Sailing the Seas Of Chese", but I just felt like getting that one
    first for some reason.  
    
    I *really* like this!!!!
    
    First off, I'm surprised there's guys doin' stuff like this and its 
    getting bought - not mainstream at all.  I will admit, it takes a few
    solid listens to get in the groove.  I'm like that mostly anyway with
    any new stuff.  The first listen I was like "Wow, that was wierd, I
    wonder if I liked it?"  :^)  By the third time, I realized I was
    wicked looking forward to coming home and slapping this on.
    
    I have to say I really do see a similarity between them and King
    Crimson.  Not the lyrics or the bass so much (they are a bass-y band,
    aren't they), but the guitar is often very "Larks Tounge - Part 2-ish"
    or "Red"ish, that "Starless" period of Fripp's playing.
    
    A great buy!
    
    - Sean

    Sean,
    
    Remember that "Suck On This" was their FIRST album.  It's not lame
    versions of stuff they'd released before, these are the original
    versions of these songs.  It's got stuff from Frizzle Fry and Seas Of
    Cheese and some other stuff.  These guys are great in concert and this
    album really captures it, the essence of the band.
    
    Some bands are great live, and some are great in the studio, some are
    both.  Personally, I think Primus is better live, but that's just my
    personal opinion.
    
    Greg

    
    > Some bands are great live, and some are great in the studio, some are
    > both.  Personally, I think Primus is better live, but that's just my
    > personal opinion.
    
    Oh I agree 100%!  And I believe that Primus are better live.  The
    question I have to ask is - Is there "betterness" captured on CD?
    
    For example:  way back when VCR's first became popular, this guy
    had a bootleg copy of "Star Wars."  It was an awful quality bootleg.
    For him, it didn't matter - he HAD a great movie and nobody else did.  
    For me, watching the great movie was ruined by the poor quality of the 
    recording.
    
    Likewise, there are a lot of bands I think are great live but whose
    greatness is overruled by the crappy way their live albums were recorded.
    I just rarely like the quality of live CD's.  No knock on them, and I'll 
    give this a try, but its just my experience.
    
    - Sean
    

    I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but I really like that
    album.  I think it really does do them justice.  Naturally, your milage
    may vary.  Check it out!  
    
    FWIW, I'm not someone who goes around raving about live albums all the
    time.  I enjoy a lot of them, but I don't generally recommend them,
    especially over studio work, except to true fans because a lot of time
    the music suffers.  There are exceptions, like the old REO Speedwagon. 
    Their studio albums (mid 70s) were TOTAL yawners, but their live album
    had a lot of energy and sounded good.  Deep Purple's Made in Japan is a
    classic.
    
    Greg

    Primus. Cool.

    MTv runs some cool videos in the wee weekend hours, and this
    Saturday, they featured Primus. They interviewed Les, and
    played some great videos he selected.

    My personal fave is that song from Pork Soda, Mr... oh,
    damn, Mr. K(something). The video is totally effed up, and
    I mean that in the best possible way. (There's Les in a
    pig suit playing an upright bass as all manner of circus
    character carry on in the background.) If anyone ever sees
    a Primus video collection in their travels, particularly
    if that video is on it, please point me toward it.

    There's a new album coming out soon (or maybe it's already
    out... I'll be scoping out the record stores).

    Primus is cool.

    -b

    
    I thought I heard a new song by Primus ("Deeper and deeper?", something
    "deep?") on WBCN, but hadn't heard of a new CD, and plus I thought 
    Sausage was Les's new band - I guess it's just his side project (how
    is this CD, by the way???).
    
    Anyway, the song cranked.
    
    I've got everything but "Suck On This" (I'm *getting* it - PROMISE!),
    and really really like these guys.
    
    I wish they were opening for King Crimson when I see them June 2!

    Good seats - I'm jealous!  I waited for the Providence show, but then
    Philly stole the date.  D'oh!  So now I'm in the balcony at the
    Orpheum, but at least I'm in.  Haven't seen 'em since "Discipline!"

    I like the ad's tag line:
    
    "If you didn't like Primus before.....
            You Probably still wont!"
    

    
    At last, something to _live_ for! :-)
    
    -b

    
    	Yeah, didn't you see my recent entry in here somewhere?
    
    	"Tales from the Punchbowl".  It doesn't suck as much as their
    	other stuff does.  8^)  These guys are very strange.
    
    	I picked it up the other night when I was looking for the
    	new Ugly Kid Joe album.
    

    Primus ROOLZ

    
    FWIW - I agree. Still on the lookout for a Primus video collection!
    If CDs could be worn out, Sailing the Seas of Cheese and Pork Soda
    would be toast by now!!
    
    I was just wearing my sourpuss when I made that previous crack. It's
    been a regular feature of my wardrobe of late... :-)

    imo  :^)
    

    
    the new song "big brown beaver" sounds remarkabley like "tommy the
    cat".

    "Frizzle Fry" is my personal favorite.  I love the country-type
    leads Larry does on the first single.
    
    If you get the chance to see 'em live this time around - do it!!
    They rule live.

    You say that like it's a bad thing!  :^)

    yes and no!I really like Tommy the cat and I suppose I like Big brown
    beaver but if if I had to listen to a whole concert like that I would
    be pissed off really quickly!

    This *might* be my favorite Primus album so far.  I'm really
    getting into it, but we'll have to see after a lot of listens.
    
    Anyway, I don't think Wynona's BBB sounds like Tommy the Cat
    at all, really...
    
    These guys are just too cool.
    
    - Sean
    

	I keep hearing that new tune and it's really growing on me.. I'd like
to hear the rest of the album...

Whit-

    I caught the video to Wynona's BBB on sunday night's 120 minutes and
    though it to be completely "out there"..which is typical for Primus but
    very entertaining.

    Well, the T&G announced 'em for Worcster on Aug. 1st., tickets on sale
    today.  I called TicketBastard and they said the sale is "on-delay."
    
    "'Till when?"  "Dunno.  Keep calling back."
    
    Love that *extra* service from my favorite company!
    
    Anybody else gonna try to go?
    
    - Sean

    
    <-- Yeah! I'm in!

    New date is August 4th.

    
    RE:  last few.
    
    Where in Worcester?
    
    

    
    Where?  Last I was told over the phone - the Aud.
    

    
    Don't miss Primus.
    
    

    
    Anybody have any recent info on when/where and how to get tickets?  My
    last call to TicketMaster ended up with them telling me they aren't
    handling them now.  Is Aug. 4 right?  Are they at the AUD?
    
    - Sean

    
    I'm going too.... although the aud in Worcester is a sh***y place
    to see a show (horrible sound). Last show I saw there was the
    _first_ rock concert I ever went to... Marc Bolan and T-Rex
    with some unknown Canadian band called "Rush" as the opening
    act. Rush blew T-Rex off the stage, of course.
    
    And the first act on was a band called "Albatross", and in today's
    "what goes around, comes around" entry, it's very likely the
    lead singer of Albatross will be the front-man of "Liquid
    Sanctuary". Oh sorry, Primus...
    
    -b

    
    	I was there once ... Stryper/Hurricane, 1987 I think.
    

Saw the Black Crowes there a few years back and left because the sound was so
bad.  I think that was partly the fault of the B.C. soundman...

Tim

    Sorry to get Off the Primus Subject But...
     Yes,The Aud is Old and Not_Built_fer_Sound_Quality,but Personally I've
    had Great_Times there..Crowes,Dylan,Bolan,Alice_Cooper.Mis the
    Unnattched.(Keep em Sepereated)

    So how/where do I get tix???????
    

    
    	There's an EP out ... released in '92, but I forgot what it was
    	called.  Looks to be unreleased tracks, and if I remember correctly
    	there's a cover song on it, although I forgot the name of that as
    	well.
    
    	Not much help, am I?
    

    
    RE: -1 , EP...
    
    "Miscellaneous Debris":  all covers on this one (5), including
    the Floyd number, "Have A Cigar".
    
    Over the weekend, I snagged the new one, listened through it a
    few times (in altered states), and LOVED it!!  Cool mix, Les'
    6-string sounds great and LOUD, especially with the lower 
    strings!!!  
    
    Kev --
    
    

    Like I'm all impressed with this band.
    
    Very tight and very creative.

    too many puuuuppiess....
    
    too many pu-pu-pu-pu-pu-pu-puppies.

    Primus sucks!

    huh-uh.

    
    Well, not completely.
    Primus has a few good tunes. Not many, but a few.
    (and NO. Wyonna's Big Brown Beaver is NOT one of them!!)

    re- 1....you're missing the point, child...!....;')

    > Primus sucks!
    
    Wow, I feel I should act as "virtual Rob" and say something nasty
    about your taste in music.
    
    ;-)
    
    I just know Rob thinks very highly of Primus.
    
    I also know that lots of folks think that Les Claypool is like
    next to god (i.e. Victor Wooten) when it comes to bass.
    
    Amazingly, I haven't heard anything of theirs.  Anyone care to loan
    me a "sampler"?
    
    	db

    ....'fraid you missed the point too Dave....'pril, do you want to tell
    them or should I....or anyone else for that matter....???....buhler??..
    ....;").../k

    
    	The answer is probably in here somewhere already.
    
    	All they have to do is look for it.
    

    "We're Primus and we suck"

    See p_n.  (It's from a Primus song)  I used to eat, sleep and breathe
    Primus.  Their new album isn't all that great IMO.  If you want some
    really good stuff, get Frizzle Fry or Suck on This...Sailing the Seas
    of Cheese is good, but definitely don't start out on Pork Soda.  It's
    a little watered down for me.  
    
    Dave, if you want to be a virtual Rob you'll have to do better than
    that!

    And one more thing db, it is definitely worth the measly $10-15 to
    discover the diverse complexity and musical genius of Primus (Les
    Claypool).  However, if you're too a-scared, I can dub it for ya.  

    <<< Note 569.25 by PROXY::MCCARRON "Itain'twhereyafrom,itzwhereyaat!" >>>

    
    
    	Primus opened for Fishbone last night at the Orpheum and I must
    say Primus s*cked!!!.... if ya know what I mean. 8^) 8^)
    
    	Les Claypool is living proof that acting goofy is indeed cool. 
    
    	BTW, Fishbone kicked major booty too!  Like that surprises anyone.

    Well blow me down!  I would have thought it'd be the other way around!

    Ok, I'm convinced.
