Primus Concert Tickets

Primus is a band formed in California in the mid-1980s by two ex-members of thrash metal band Blind Illusion, Les Claypool and Larry Lalonde. Les (vocals and bass guitar) has been the only constant member. They have had two guitar players (although Larry has held onto the role for the past 20 years) and many different drummers (although Tim Alexander, Bryan Mantia and Jay Lane were the only ones who recorded with the band) in the past.

Vanilla reissues just don't work these days, so here's Primus' amazing second album released as either a CD with a new stereo mix and three bonus tracks; a 200gm LP with the stereo mix, 1,000 random examples of which come on collectable yellow vinyl; a CD-plus-DVD with Dolby 5.1 surround mix; and the same, but with a Blu-ray rather than a DVD. That's a whole lot of product, but why not...

1999 was an odd time for heavy music, with equal numbers of frontin', maxin' nu metal bands and more traditional denim-wearers in competition for the jaded MTV audience's attention. A few groups either rose above the conflict or escaped it completely because they stuck resolutely to their own furrow, Primus being among them...

Sound: I've heard many say that this is Primus's worst album. This is one of my favorites, though. I remember walking through the music section of my local bookstore after helping with some Christmas Wrapping. I saw this album and said "Hey! I've heard talk that Primus is pretty cool, I'll have a go at them and pick this record up". Boy was I glad I did. I fell in love with Tales From the Punchbowl. Not right away though. It had to grow on me a bit...

Sound: Finally, we get a new Primus album. Les Claypool's funky slap bass once again is blasting out of my stereo speakers! Jay Lane (absent since 1988) returned in 2010 as drummer, replacing Tim "Herb" Alexander and Jay does an excellent job filling the role. Larry "Ler" LaLonde is on guitar providing weird quirky guitar lines that complement Les's insane bass lines. This is Primus's seventh studio release and their first since their hiatus in 2000...

Sound: Musical experimentation has been taken to a new level since Primus released its first major label album in 1990, and the band's chronology of fearlessness comes across effectively in They Can't All Be Zingers: The Best Of Primus. The latest CD, a collection of singles from throughout Primus' career, conveys the band's defiance of the standard Top 40 song format beautifully...

Sound: Primus explored their heavier side in this album, for some it meant being more comercial, and maybe that was the purpose, but Primus still managed to produce one of their best albums. Primus blended funk, nu metal and alternative metal in this album. Primus also had some guests like Tom Morello, Fred Durst, and Tom Waits that helped in composing heavier tracks (Mama didn't raise no fool), as well as more experimental tracks (Coattails of a Dead Man)...

Goto commentsLeave a commentShare Primus Presents: A Tribute to Primus! There are two kinds of bands that vex every music lover. The first and most profligate type are those acts that through some fluke or freak accident made one amazing album, but hamstrung by a general lack of talent or overweening love of the sleaze stardom affords never manage to get it together for more than a year or two, though their career lurches on for another ten years...

In their salad days, Primus were often celebrated as one of the quintessential alt-funk bands, despite the fact that they were never really that funky. On Green Naugahyde (the band's first LP in 12 years), they've finally brought the funk. It might be the addition of Jay Lane (one of Primus' many pre-Suck on This drummers) or it may be result of Les Claypool abandoning his Residents-meets-Waits song structures for nothing more than wave-upon-wave of hippy-dippy bass noodling...
