Let me get iffy too and say that Les’s voacls are hardly melodic and there are plenty of bassists that are more melodic and play stunning bass at the same time. Mike King of Level 42 for example.

Don’t you mean Mark King?
As for saying that Les’ vocals are “hardly melodic”… Bollocks. Les’ vocals add more to the overall track than you obviously understand. Just listen to a selection of Primus tracks and you’ll realise that the man has a far wider range than is initially noticable. Mark King certainly has a more limited vocal range and is nowhere near as inventive a bass player.

Track down some Les Claypool’s Frog Brigade stuff and if you’re lucky you’ll find the live set they did where they performed all of Pink Floyd’s ‘Animals’.

If you have the dvd then look out the extra with the 3 tracks filmed while they were doing a radio session. Les doesn’t struggle to sing anything at all and you’ll see that every phrasing you think is “weird” or “hardly melodic” is actually calculated. Primus could play any style they want to and do it well.

If you want to hear more beautiful “weird” music then i suggest you get Captain Beefheart & The Magic Band’s ‘Trout Mask Replica’. Neither band set out to be “weird”, they paint pictures with sound and that includes the vocals.

Who cares how many songs Tom Waits guested on, it has nothing to do with the fact that Antipop was embarassingly the most pop record they’ve ever made. Duh. Did you realise that they also had Tom Morello as a producer on one of the tracks too?? Ever heard of him?
I know Fred Durst produced the track lacquerhead so dont bother with the shit throwing.

But I enjoyed your post, try again! haha

Embarassingly pop? No it wasn’t. It was 100% Primus. Maybe you’re just pissed because the people who usually tell you to “turn that weird stuff off” didn’t say it. As for the “try again” crap, try reading the last paragraph of the post above that one. :p
