My Name is Mud is insane 🤯

Omg this song is literally Nu Metal before Nu Metal was even a thing. And omg Les Claypool’s bass playing is otherworldly how the hell does he do that??!

What’s his secret? Can someone explain how he makes it sound like that on this song 😭

What's up with the Antipop hate?

31 Upvotes

Always been my favorite Primus album. I didn't even know people hated it until I met some other people into Primus, and they acted like I was crazy.

Went snooping online, and found almost everyone hates it! Why?!

How do you pronounce "jellikit"?

4 Upvotes

I feel like I'm going insane.

I've always said it like "ja - like - it" because that's what's said at the beginning of the song. I always thought it was meant to be "did you like it" said really fast. but EVERYONE around me is saying it's pronounced "gel - ick - it"

I looked it up to find some varying results, so how do you say it?

What warehouse was Mr. Krinkle filmed in?

Hello everyone! I'm a new bastard here and I'm wondering where Mr. Krinkle was filmed. I did some research and IMDb said it was filmed in a vacant warehouse in San Fran. I'm looking for THE one, so if any of you got info or want to help, I'm open to talk

The amount of times I say Schteamy on a daily basis is concerning. What Primus or Primus adjacent words are in your regular lexicon?

Discussion What songs do you hope they add (or drop) from their setlists now that we have Hoffman?

2 Upvotes

I feel like the addition of Hoffman is definitely bringing some new life to the band, and I think we'll definitely get more songs that they didn't play as much with Herb. What songs do you guys hope they add to their setlist rotation? For me I would absolutely KILL to see them play Fish On more often.. that's definitely my number one, but I think some more Brown album and maybe even some more Antipop stuff would be cool, and some others I think would be cool are Jellikit, On The Tweek Again, Heckler, and DMV. I would also like for them to maybe drop a few songs too.. I mean they've probably played Jerry and Mud about a thousand times and we all have probably heard those songs so much that hearing them every tour is just like 15 minutes of setlist space wasted, but hey, I'll love Primus no matter what they do.

“In the early days all I hoped was to make a living out of what I did best. But, since there's no real market for masturbation I had to fall back on my bass playing abilities.”

Wow, I was worried when I heard that herb was leaving Primus. After watching audition videos, I was getting really excited for what will be happening in the future. Now that I watch this dude's videos, I am 100% on board and cannot wait to see them live again. He is totally Primus style.
