Tim news aside, Brain has always been even my favorite Primus drummer. Anyone else?

Anyone else a bit irked by Tim's handling of his departure from the band?

I've been a fan for a long time. I was even lucky enough to catch their final show with Tim in CO a few weeks ago.

I'm sure there are deeper reasons for him quitting... again. But breaking up with your decades old band over an email without context felt impudent and disrespectful. Like dumping your long term partner by text because you're too cowardly to face them and give them the news in person. I shouldn't care all that much. I guess it just left a bad taste in my mouth.

Possible future replacements for Herb

Who would yall like to see Les and Ler add to the kit?? Honestly, my dude Rory Dolan from Lespecial would be such a perfectly flawless fit for them, considering not just how utterly obsessed Rory is with them, but how incredibly spot on he is at nailing down Herb’s playing style. He’s one of my absolute favorite drummers to ever come of my home state of CT, he’s honestly one of my favorite drummers in all of music for that matter. If you’ve never heard any of their Primus covers, go check them out right now and tell me that he wouldn’t be the most perfect fit! 🤘

Bring Back Brain

I’m sad to see Tim go (again), but fully support and respect his decision. And since the grass is never greener why not being back an old friend? If you Bastards agree, let’s get some noise going for a Bring Back Brain petition.

Danny Carey to replace Tim Herb for one Primus preformance.

This should be interesting! Danny is a fantastic drummer.

Does anybody have footage of Les playing harmonica?

I heard a rumor that Les Claypool plays sometimes plays harmonica with some of his side projects, does anybody on here know if this is, let alone have footage and proof?

Les should ask Lars to audition to be the new drummer…

Just so Les can turn him down. This is the perfect chance for revenge, Les! Take it!

Does anybody know why guitar was used on The Ballad Of Bodacious?

My guess is a tele solely based of the style of the song, but I also think he was mostly playing PRS guitars around the recording of antipop

Edit: What guitar was used, not why

(Also why isn’t there an antipop flair?)
