It's
very difficult to me (again) to choose a band or a musician I like, because are
a lot of them.
I
would can name very bands of many kinds of music, (for example Alice in Chains,
Hole, La Floripondio, Victor Jara, Amy Winehouse, Anarkia Tropikal, Faith no
More, en ever more) but i choose Primus because is an experience of madness I
enjoy everytime and I would like share with you.
I
knew this band because I ear to some friends speaking about it, but I download
the discography for my own account. I began to listen it during an exam because
I never can to follow the melodies or the lyrics and I can concentrate in the
work with background music. That exam was wrong and Primus took a bad sensation
to me.
But
the time passed and I recovered the love by this band because I can´t
understand all that madness inside the mind of three persons. I think if they
don’t make music would be in an insane hospital. By luck they are musicians and
give us all this happiness to live.
I
don’t know very much of this band. Only they forming Primus in the 80’s and the
history of Les Claypool (bass and leader) was to an audition to play bass with Metallica,
but they reject to him because are “so much good” like said James Hetfield. I
don’t know if this is a myth or reality but I think is funny.
I
like very much the bass, it’s the essential part of the band, is the center of
it. I like they crazy (I know I say it, but I think is very important) and the
music they play is according to this.
My
favorite songs are “Tommy the Cat”, “Welcome to this world”, “Hamburger Train”
and others I don´t remember now.
I
go to sharing with you “Hamburger Train” and I give you a bonus of insanity
with a Mr. Bungle’s song, “Quote Unquote” (I don’t want to exclude they, I’m
sorry).
Happy
nightmares to this night.
Primus are great. Les Claypool has to be one of the best performers in out there.
ReplyDeleteI want to be Les Claypool :(
DeleteI think most of the great artists will be in the psychiatric hospital if they weren't making music.
ReplyDeleteExactly that is I want to say :)
DeleteThe first thing I think about Primus is the song (and their video) "Winonna's big brown beaver". Is a great song :P
ReplyDeleteAnd a bass cover of Master of puppets (stupid and sensual bass).
That´s the first song I knew, and a weird video
ReplyDeleteMaster of Puppets its the theme Les Claypool played for Metallica and they died in that moment, I suppose because his stupid and sensual bass =D
