[the lancaster kicks ass]

but can you explain the "primus sucks"..............

 

[cheddar cheese]

Yes please explain, ive been wondering about that for a while.

 

[lesofprimus]

Primus Sucks is a phrase that fans of Primus, myself included, have been saying for upwards of 15 years now.... I started saying it when I saw them in concert in 1990... Les was wearing a shirt that had that on it.....

 

[GermansRGeniuses]

Ah, so that's what your name means...

Les from the band Primus...
Never heard of 'em.

 

[lesofprimus]

Les Claypool is the lead singer and bass player of Primus, a 3 piece band... He also happens to be the Best Rock bassist known to mankind... He truely is a God...

 

[plan_D]

I would disagree but then you'll throw a fit.

 

[lesofprimus]

Probably, but I have no idea who u think could possibly be more talented and creative at bass... There is no one... Many come close but none surpass...

And if u say Jeff Ament, I'll crap myself and die of an aneurysm....

 

[lesofprimus]

How did "Primus sucks" originate?
Before Ler and Herb joined, fans of Primate/Primus would follow around Les and the guys saying, "you guys are great". Les would reply, "Nah, we suck". It caught on and the fans started yelling "You Suck" at shows. Les would reply, "Why Thank You". It caught on and the rest is history.

I dont know how good that guy is, but i reckon the Bass player from Muse would give him a run for his money.

 

[lesofprimus]

Whats Muse??? Never heard of em....

And if have never heard of Primus, u need to download some and educate urself dude.... All of u need to, because there is no way to describe his genius....

 

[plan_D]

Dude, you're a geek. You actually pay attention to these award ceremonies? Quite sad really, especially when you actually listen to decent music.

I wasn't going to say Jeff Ament, although he is good and can be credited (joint with Stone Gossard) in starting Pearl Jam.

I would say but your old heart will seize up with all that anger and you'll have a cardiac arrest. I don't want to be done for manslaughter
