	Primus (band)
		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.
		In late 2003 Claypool reunited with LaLonde and in a surprise move, Tim Alexander to record a DVD/EP called '' Animals Should Not Try to Act Like People '', which Claypool described as the first DVD with supplementary music, as opposed to the contrary.
		A quote by Ler LaLonde jokes that "we pretty much go along with anything Bob Dole says", which was a sarcastic response to Primus's well known liberal politics.

	Larry LaLonde (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-15)
		As many of you know, Ler is a major Zappa fan and considers Zappa to be one of his songwriting and guitar playing heroes.
		Ler's side project in the mid-90s, this has been described as a knock-off of the Residents, and featured at least Derek Greenberg, Ler and Adam Gates (Bob Cock).
		Ler has joked in interviews that the Beanpole project was so weird that Interscope records refused to release it, which proved to be the proverbial straw that broke the camel's back in leading Les to create his own Prawn Song label.

	THE BULL BOARD - Ler LaLonde=Underrated
		Ler LaLonde is one of if not the most underrated guitarists of all time (although he doesn't think much of his own playing), seriously, that dude can rip, I think he's overshadowed by Les a bit (Les is amazing too), but seriously, Ler is awesome.
		Ler doesn't use effects to compliment, and suit the mood of, the song; he's doing it to hide his sloppy technical skills.
		Ler comes up with a top notch solo from scratch (hey, that would be a great title - "The top notch solo from scratch") if he wants to.

	Primus - Sailing the Seas of Cheese Review - sputnikmusic (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-15)
		Ler follows Les on this track making it not as great as some of the other tracks on the album but he does contribute a lot with his dissonant solo.
		Ler demonstrates an excellent ability in knowing when and when not to play (something a lot of guitarist lack)Probably the best songwriting too.
		Ler's solo then Les' solo (back to bcak) push this song right over the edge for me. It should be a crime making a song this awesome.

	Les Claypool
		In the late 80s, Claypool played in the band Blind Illusion[?] with future Primus guitarist Ler Lalonde.
		Primus began as something of a side project with Claypool's friends Todd Huth[?] and Jay Lane[?]; they released their first demo tape, Sausage, around 1989.
		Claypool replaced them with Lalonde and drummer Tim Alexander.

	I Love Ler
		Ler is a pupil of Joe Satriani, whose former students include Steve Vai, Charlie Hunter, Alex Skolnick (Testament, Savatage), David Bryson (Counting Crows), and Kirk Hammett (Metallica).
		Ler is unique as a guitar player not only for his style, but for his attitude.
		Inventing riffs to compliment the playing of Les Claypool is no easy task, but through the years Ler has come to do it with perfection time and time again.

	MediaCast - Primus - Review
		Ler took his usual stance, his hair in his eyes and his eyes to the floor, letting his guitar do all the talking.
		Here it is obvious that Les is a born storyteller, rattling off the tale of a coke junkie who went along for a night on the town, giving it the same wit it had when Primus was first starting out.
		Ler's moment came in the middle of the tune, effecting a breathtaking bluesy solo which left everyone in awe.

	Cyberfunk in Guitar School, August 1995
		While Claypool's dizzying, violently percussive textures are still on display, Lalonde's guitar has a distinct, forceful presence, from the call and response that kicks off "Professor Nutbutter's House of Treats," to the stinging Kimg Crimonesque phrashing of "On The Tweek Again." This new balance is not accidental.
		LALONDE: When I first got into Primus, my dream was to be in a band that was sort of a cross between Frank Zappa and the Dead Kennedys.
		LALONDE: It's always cool to hear people who are super-talented and really can play use their technique to play music as opposed to show off how fast they are.

	A New Brown Sound
		LaLonde’s pre-Primus background included two-and-a-half years of lessons with Joe Satriani (“ruining his track recordof great teaching”) and a stint with the death-metal band Possessed.
		LaLonde’s side projects tend to remain left-of-center; he occasionally plays in the Zappa tribute band Caca and records offbeat music in his basement.
		LaLonde has also revamped his guitar setup, dispensing with his usual Yamaha SPX-900 multi-effector ADA MP-1 preamp.

		Ler, also from El Sobrante, has a strange, and sometimes erie, playing style.
		He is a master of the guitar, as he was trained by Joe Satriani, and knows his stuff when it comes to the technical side of music.
		Ler's first reported band was a metal band called Possessed.

		Finally Mantia and guitarist Larry "Ler" LaLonde file in, looking like teenage skaters in their worn clothing and low-slung ski caps.
		Other future plans include the release of the single and video for "Over the Falls" in early fall as a follow-up to the current offering, "Shake Hands With Beef." In that video, the band is depicted as tiny insects eavesdropping on a family's outdoor barbecue.
		LaLonde: It's where you do an ollie, and you kick your foot down hard, and you make it look like you know what you're doing.

		As far as I have been able to piece together, Brian Brain Mantia was Primus fourth drummer, but he was only in for two weeks, and then he broke his foot skateboarding.
		Primus fifth drummer, Tim Wright was another short-lived member, and through auditioning, Les and Ler hired Tim Herb Alexander (born April 10, 1965) in October or November of 1989.
		Not long after Les and Ler announced that Herb was out, they chose Brian Brain Mantia as the new drummer for Primus.

	Primus
		Claypool recruited metal guitarist Lalonde and eclectic drummer Tim Alexander, and Primus soon gained even greater popularity by dint of their live concerts.
		Their most productive period was from 1990 to 1994, during which they released three albums, an EP, five music videos, a home video, and between tours still found time to headline Lollapallooza, contribute music to ''Beavis and Butthead'', and appear in ''Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey''.
		Lalonde joined Mantia to produce 2 experimental No Forcefield records, and tried unsuccessfully to start a recording studio.

	Primus : iSOUND.COM™
		After a couple of short-lived, live drummers, the group honed in on Tim "Herb" Alexander, whose complex polyrhythmic style was a perfect compliment to Claypool's slap-and-pop bass playing.
		Zappa-influenced shredder Larry "Ler" LaLonde replaced Huth, and the band made a live album called "Suck On This," in 1989, which established Claypool's own PrawnSong record label.
		In 2003, Claypool, LaLonde and Alexander reconvened as Primus and released an EP of new material to accompany a DVD titled "Animals Should Not Try to Act Like People." The release prefigured a national tour.

	PRIMUS BIOGRAPHY
		Fronted by bassist-vocalist Les Claypool, who can produce thousands of bizarre tones on his instrument and almost as many cartoonish characters with his voice, Primus has journeyed from the underground to the headlining spot at the 1993 Lollapalooza music festival, arguably the nation's most important alternative rock tour.
		The group was two-thirds new, but LaLonde undertook the arduous task of learning all of Huth's parts and then participating in a live recording that became the first Primus album, Suck on This.
		Long before LaLonde and Alexander joined the band, Claypool explained to Rolling Stone, the group's fans had begun chanting "You Suck" as an honorific at their shows.

	JS Online: Hormones don't obscure talented, noisy rock of Primus (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-15)
		Guitarist Larry "Ler" LaLonde paid homage to Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore with jittery, melodic soundscapes; drummer Brian "Brain" Mantia incorporated jazz subtleties while maintaining "thrash-funk" power.
		Les, Ler and Brain clearly enjoy their occupation, even after a decade of banging and grinding.
		Remember, this is the band you saw on "Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey." This is the sound behind the "South Park" TV show, the group with a recording studio named Rancho Relaxo.

		Les's bass playing is predictably drool-worthy, and Ler's guitar work here is probably his bеst, and that's saying a lot.
		A lot more guitar from Ler on this record, which is probably why I like it.

	Elephant Talk #840
		As for 'Ler [Larry Lalonde, Primus guitarist]..he needs to woodshed for a long while' I am assuming you are not a musician from this statement.
		As for 'not being creative with noise' - two words 'Hamburger Train' - a very ProjeKct sounding instrumental from the early 90's where Ler plays hardly a noticeable note and yet he is ever present in the hypnotic mix - quite reminiscent of Belew's knob-twiddling solo in Sheltering Sky.
		I read once that Ler studied with Satriani and he quipped that it was very useful because it showed him what notes _not_ to play.

		Well, Ler was saying--I think he read it in your magazine--that Waylon Jennings was a Primus fan.
		I knew I had something good when Ler came in after I had laid the vocal track down--he had never heard the yodeling before--and he just started laughing.
		Initially we were going to record basic tracks here, then Ler was going to take the tapes up to his house in Healdsburg and do the guitar tracks there, but he wasn’t getting a very good guitar tone out of the place.

	ANIMALS SHOULD NOT TRY TO ACT LIKE PEOPLE by Primus \| Northern Ireland's Music Scene (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-15)
		This release is a combination of five brand new tracks on CD and a DVD containing every Primus vid ever released as well as a bunch of unseen footage/ backstage larking around (I found it particularly amusing when Les came on stage while A.I.C were playing Rooster, and he was in a giant chicken suit!).
		There is no doubt of the natural chemistry between these three virtuoso’s (is that virtuosi?), this being the main reason why they reformed.
		One of the highlights of the recording is the most insane 6or 7 second long solo by ler which starts “Go Ler” and ends “Thanks Ler”.

		Meanwhile on the six-string, the ever-underestimated Larry 'Ler' LaLonde looked far too clean-cut and inconspicuous for all of the furious squawks, screeches, and myriad eruptions coming from his side of the stage.
		In fact, for all of Les' many side projects and high-profile collaborations, Lalonde's sonic assaults and shimmering soundscapes on "American Life" were a testament to just how immaculate the chemistry is in this original Primus outfit.
		A tidy havoc quickly ensued as the revved-up grind of "Jerry Was a Racecar Driver" (the song that put Primus on the map over a decade ago), left many a Warfield usher with a worrisome look on his face as the dancefloor heaved with a frantic bounce.

	Newsvine - Primus @ The San Jose Civic Center (Concert Review)
		Ler was in standard form teetering on the edge of brilliance and floundering while Herb the Ginseng Drummer looked a lot like Neil Peart up there with his skull cap, huge kit, and flawless playing.
		It was kind of fun to watch this happen over and over again, but dammit if it didn't detract me from watching the stage instead of this human tackeling dummy.
		Oh, many thanks to Ler's guitar tech for the set list and a large apology goes out to the bartender I so un-intentionally offended.

		At certain points, Les and Ler grow insect wings and buzz around the barbecue, and get swatted at by the trailer family members.
		The video was recorded at a slower pace and sped up, making the band members appear to be making strange, jerky motions.
