	history of primus
		The reason he picked the bass was that the band didnt have drums or sax, and also Les knew of a guy who needed a bass player for his band.
		Primus second drummer was Peter Libby, and then sometime in 1985-87, he was out of the picture and Les called up Jay Lane to find out if he knew of any drummers that might play play with them.

		Primus' original material became forced weirdness over time, but their cover songs were fantastic throughout their entire existence.
		Primus is certainly a fantastic success story for the early 90s, but they didn't exactly finish the decade with a series of great albums.
		This merry band of jokesters have unfortunately become increasily dull with their past few albums, so it was a joy to hear promise in the new album.

	Metroactive Music \| Primus
		From the ironic chant of its fans ("Primus Sucks!") to its obsession with seafood, from its fine musicianship to its frenetic and original sound, Primus is a quirky, one-of-a-kind outfit whose perennial popularity is proof that people aren't always quite as sheeplike in their tastes as the music industry would have you believe.
		Primus isn't fake anything, which, given its live expertise, may mean that it will go over bigger than any other group on the tour.
		The band's music may be a bit of a caricature of itself, but at least it can't be labeled, and no one else can lay claim to Primus' sound.

	Primus
		Still, Primus is an unusual and rewarding listening experience: I have no idea how they ever got popular, unless there was a video that caught on at MTV or something.
		The original lineup of Primus briefly reunited under the name Sausage; as with Primus, the tunes are by the band, the words are by Les.
		A short-lived band consisting of Claypool, Stewart Copeland and Phish leader Trey Anastasio - most tracks have music by the band and lyrics by Claypool and Anastasio, though "Radon Balloon" is just Anastasio and the annoying sing-song "Shadow Of A Man" is just Claypool.

	PRIMUS \|
		The band Sausage didn’t release their first and only CD until April of 1994.This was because these three fine fellows made up the original band PRIMUS and at shows they had a demo called “Sausage” which in a few years would become a side project of Claypool’s.
		The band met at Bonnaroo (A music festival) while Worrell, Mantia and Buckethead along with Bill Laswell were all their to play as Praxis but Laswell was not able to play at the concert, so Claypool asked if they wanted to jam with him instead.
		The band has quite a unique sound to them, the lyrics are politically fueled, and Mantia really brings a sense of raw hip-hop beats to the group and the live shows they have played are packed with jams and improve.

		Primus also set out to prove that the bass guitar is the center of the universe, bass fish are delicious, and animated claymation is the new wave.
		Primus' nonstop schedule of shows had an ill effect on the band, and 1993's Pork Soda was uncharacteristically gloomy and dealt with threats to the environment, murder, and suicide.
		By this time, bands that were influenced by Primus' bottom heavy rock - such as Tool, Korn, and Limp Bizkit - were having their heydey, and despite the ubiquity of "Wynona's Big Brown Beaver", Tales From the Punchbowl was otherwise their most esoteric album and in later years Claypool expressed dissatisfaction with it.

	PCC Website* Primus Review
		Primus is a band that blends some pretty humorous lyrics with the great sound of some very talented musicians.
		After Primus set up, when everything was silent, all of a sudden the sound of Les and the drums started with the song "Here come the bastards." The whole crowd was moshing together in unison.
		Primus will be featured at some of the dates on the HORDE tour and hopefully they will be touring alone.

		For the most part the new songs included here draw inspiration from the bands earlier days and yet a sense of overbearing prog/jam influences are inflicted upon them, creating a considerably weighty demeanor.
		Undoubtedly with a bit of touring under their belts the group will be back in fine form and the new cuts on hand do bode well for a future release overall.
		Getting a whack of new Primus material is a treat in itself, but when coupling it with the extensive DVD outing that is packaged alongside it, "Animals Should Not Try To Act Like People" is pretty much a must have purchase for anyone even remotely interested in the band.

	PRIMUS discography, MP3 and reviews
		PRIMUS is almost impossible to classify into a genre, considering Les' influences and their deep manic style of playing.
		PRIMUS is also known for being a silly RUSH, due to them being a power trio with a bass player singing.
		After the successful "Antipop" album, TIM ALEXANDER joined the band for the new 2003 album "Animals Should Not Try to Act Like People", being a DVD collection with 5 new songs, PRIMUS at their proggiest, their new direction is even more spaced-out and jammy, something like a heavy PHISH.

	Les Claypool
		While Claypool had been prolific even during his Primus days, using their time off to record and tour with both Sausage and the Holy Mackerel, since the breakup of Primus and his acceptance as the leader of legitimate and interesting jam bands, the number and extent of his side projects has proliferated.
		This band is somewhat of an anomaly in the sense that it is the only example of a Claypool project in which he is not the de facto leader and impresario (even in the power trio Oysterhead, Les was the band’s public voice).
		However, the band does deserve historical mention since it was the first live format in which Les and Ler played together, albeit in a musical style quite different from that of Primus.

		Les said that he will still be making Primus records, but he compared their record making process to Tool's: the band previously released albums every two years or so.
		The music (at least to me) still sounds like vintage Primus, though Les's bass isn't as overpowering as it was in earlier albums like Cheese, it is actually atmospheric in the song Mary the Ice Cube (which has hilarious lyrics as well).
		Now this isn't the best Primus has done but it is certainly not the worst and I think that anyone who is a fan of Primus should appreciate this new material.

	MediaCast - Primus - Review
		There's a certain amount of drama before any headlining band takes the stage, but when the band is Primus and the stage is in their home town of San Francisco, things can get a bit out of hand.
		The band took fewer verbal shots at one another than usual, but their performance was tight and clean -- if a bit straightforward.
		The band performed "Pork Soda," "Over the Electric Grapevine" and "The Heckler" (by way of "Stairway to Heaven") before getting to "Harold of the Rocks," one of their most entertaining live numbers.

	Primus Boys Are Back In Brown
		Milestone has been the watchword in the past year as the band divorced from longtime drummer Tim "Herb" Alexander, took in Brian "Brain" Mantia and saw the birth of vocalist, bassist and band leader Les Claypool's son Cage.
		Primus road-tested several of the new characters, along with many old favourites, during their recent pre-release tour of Europe.
		Though Claypool's family might be a hindrance to the band's hectic schedule, their presence in his life is dear to Claypool's heart.
