We never got a true Les, Ler, Herb Primus album after 1995

Such a shame imo. Other Primus and Les stuff is great but those three during Frizzle, Cheese, Pork, Punch is just such a special time.

Wish they coulda cranked out a true original song Primus album on this last stint. A Wonka cover album and children goblin album which plays as a Les solo album don’t count. Not actually Primus making Primus songs.

Anyways love Primus, rant over

Merch quality, any idea how to fix my fanny pack?

I've barely used it, the lettering is already peeling off... Any way to save it? Spray some clear coat on it?

Ler Benefit Shirt

Taken from social media:

"On Tuesday, Jan 7 at 10:44 am I got a video text from Ler Lalonde with the words 'Here we go!' in the caption. The video showed flames and a large plume of smoke coming down the hillside above his house.

Since that moment, Larry "Ler" Lalonde and his family have been on an emotional roller coaster that I can only imagine in my worst nightmares. He, and many others like him, lost their homes and possessions that very day. But Ler, being the positive happy-go-lucky fella that he is, has been surprisingly upbeat and has continued to be very professional and selfless in his commitments to Primus and the fans by moving forward with the process of auditioning a slew of drummers in the midst of trying to put his and his family’s lives back together. I am amazed by his resilience and his commitment to keep moving forward.

In the spirit of Ler, we have created a T-Shirt in his honor to help ease the burden of his loss as well as create a platform to donate to the Raise Pali Campaign."

  • Les Claypool

The Raise Pali Campaign goes towards the Palisades Charter High School, helping to provide students with resources during recovery efforts.

Pre Sessanta Tour

What are the chances we get a few evening with Primus shows before the Sessanta Tour? I mean they could to just get tight with the new drummer and not have the reveal be at Sessanta. What do y'all think?

Any Drummers Up In Here?

Herb was/is a HUGE influence on my playing (semi-pro for about 25 years now). I just wanted to see if there were drummers on the sub, and what Primus songs do you like to play? Here's a few, in no real order:

Tommy, Pudding Time, To Defy, Wynona's 3B Jerry Lee Van Cleef (I know Jayski pretty well, he's my dog), Golden Boy (Brain is a fun drummer)

There are a few more, but these are the go-tos when I have a bassist who can actually play Priums stuff.

How bout U?

Chocolate Factory CD

I bought a new Primus and The Chocolate Factory cd yesterday and not only does the CD have a huge scratch in it and was skipping horribly on the first track, the case is also horrible and I have to bend the cd to get it out. Has anyone else had any issues with this album? I’m really annoyed cause I’ve been wanting to give this album a listen for a while.
