	Brian Mantia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Raised in the South Bay city of Cupertino, CA, Mantia became interested in such ‘groove heavy' artists as James Brown, Led Zeppelin, and Jimi Hendrix early on, but it wasn't until he was 16 years old that Mantia began playing drums.
		Shortly thereafter, Mantia acquired the nickname “Brain" while playing in a high school concert band, due to his obsession with the complex Anthony Cirone book, "Portraits in Rhythm." Mantia continued to perfect his drumming skills, by studying at such music schools as the Percussion Institute of Technology in Hollywood.
		The late ‘90s saw Mantia appear on releases by Godflesh (Songs of Love and Hate, Love and Hate in Dub), and longtime friends, Primus (whom Mantia was briefly a member of in 1989, before a broken foot led to his exit).

	Brown Album - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Many avid Primus followers attribute their strong disliking of this album to the departure of drummer Tim Alexander, and the new introduction of Brian "Brain" Mantia.
		Mantia is still a skilled drummer, with an amazing sense of rhythm and speedy movements, which is key to Primus's frantic and complicated tunes.
		However, Mantia's drumming style is considerably more straight forward than Alexander's fast and finessy style.

		From what I know, Brian was the drummer for M.I.R.V. and a former drummer of an earlier Primus (something about breaking his foot skateboarding before they went on a tour, enter tood huth?).
		Brian shows off a little on Camelback Cinema (Brown Album) and is gonne be great in Primus.
		The owner and subsequently the new Primus drummer is one Brian "Brain" Mantia.

		Mantia informs us he's in a good mood because he's just bought a new pair of shoes, and LaLonde pulls off his cap to reveal a shock of flened hair, dyed especially for the "Over the Falls" shooting.
		Mantia might be new to Primus fans, but he's been working with the Primus boys for a number of years.
		Instead of the double-bass attack that was Alexander's trademark, Mantia operates with a single enormous kick drum.

		They have had two guitar players (although Ler LaLonde has held onto the role for nearly 16 years) and many different drummers (although Tim Alexander and Brian Mantia were the only ones who recorded with the band, and Jay Lane, the only other one who had creative impact) in the past.
		Mantia was one of the many drummers Claypool auditioned for the original line-up of Primus before settling with Alexander — Mantia bowed out beforehand due to a foot injury.
		With Mantia aboard, Primus was asked in 1997 to compose the theme song to ´´South Park´´ after the show´s creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone professed to be big fans.

		Touring with Primus, and the extracurricular activities that go along with it, is a relatively new experience for Mantia, who joined the band for last year’s European tour and last summer’s H.O.R.D.E. tour.
		The time comes for Mantia and his mates to prepare for the show so we head off into the dripping evening.
		Claypool is a camouflage-wearing mercenary type, LaLonde kicks it in a skimpy fl dress and Mantia appears as an hombre in a huge sombrero.

	Godflesh and Related
		Brian Mantia(Brain)- Brain is a hip-hop/funk drummer known for his collaborations with Bill Laswell and Buckethead among others.As it turns out his cousin,Kristen Yee,is the manager of Godflesh and he managed to latch on as the"drummer" for the North American tour w/Type O Negative andDanzig.
		This was a drastic progression in way the framework of Godflesh's music.I recall a guitar magazine stating that songs...

	Primus family tree
		Some time later Brian Keyhoe quit Curveball and was replaced briefly by Ray White of Frank Zappa's band.
		During this time Brian started a band before hooking up with MIRV called Acme Pimps Inc. This band had Brian (guitar,vocals), Arion Salazar(bass), Jeff Gomes(drums), and Adrian Isabel.
		Anyways, I was often asked where the funk came from, or what records we listened to, etc. I wanted to do a hardcore funk band to show what the real thing was about (well, as best as we could deliver it).

	Les juggles
		Currently in the studio with bandmates Larry LaLonde and Brian "Brain" Mantia, Claypool is wrapping up a new Primus EP due out this spring that includes covers and live tracks.
		In early February, the band returns to the road in support of 1997's The Brown Album, following on the tail of Claypool's recent collaboration with Alice in Chains guitarist Jerry Cantrell for Cantrell's upcoming solo debut.
		One reason for putting time into the studio, Claypool said, is so he and guitarist LaLonde can continue to get a feel for Primus' new drummer, "Brain" Mantia, who joined the group in 1996.

	BNR Metal Pages -- Praxis (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Far less of a band than a project, Praxis was the brainchild of producer Bill Laswell, whose lengthy career is outside the scope of this page.
		Two of the core members here do have some metallic ties, most notably the star of the show, enigmatic guitar hero Buckethead (most recently seen playing in Guns'n'Roses), with former Primus drummer Brian "Brain" Mantia also serving time here.
		For the traditionally metal-minded who are curious as to what this sounds like, Praxis is a risky bet -- there's very little in the way of conventional metal, but there is plenty of flashy guitarwork from Buckethead, alongside healthy doses of funk, electronica, sampling, and just plain weirdness.

		Their closer sets capped off the best of the Lollapalooza shows and left crowds of hipsters jabbering like monkeys on drugs.
		In 1996, Alexander was replaced by ex-Godflesh drummer Brian Mantia and Primus hit upon its most beloved project to date, creating music for South Park.
		Their latest effort, 1999’s Antipop, featured covers of Metallica, the Police, and weirdest of all Peter Gabriel, along with the use of a much ballyhooed retro-instrument, the eerie Theramin.

	KTVU.com - Entertainment - BayInsider Talks To Primus Guitarist Larry LaLonde
		The band's mix of funk/punk bass riffs, aggressive time changes and irreverent, often satirical lyrics delivered in Claypool's deadpan nasal voice earned Primus a cult following that built from their underground independent debut ('Suck On This' in 1989) to a #1 album ('Pork Soda') and a headlining slot on the Lollapalooza Tour in 1993.
		Alexander took his leave of the band a few years later, but Primus continued to explore its special niche of sonic chaos for several more albums with replacement drummer Brian "Brain" Mantia (of Limbomaniacs, Praxis and eventually Guns 'n' Roses fame) before the band drifted into an indefinite hiatus in 2000.
		Claypool kept himself busy with various jam-oriented projects like Oysterhead (with Phish guitarist Trey Anastasio and former Police drummer Stewart Copeland) and his loose-limbed Fearless Frog Brigade, but it wasn't until the seminal line-up of Primus got together to discuss a DVD retrospective that the idea of a reunion was discussed.
