The strange history of Primus! From "Frizzle Fry" to breaking through on MTV with "Jerry Was A Racecar Driver," "My Name Is Mud" and "Wynona's Big Brown Beaver." Was Primus the weirdest band to get this mainstream?

"Primus sucks" going right over people's heads lol
-
I was in line for the toilet at the Slayer farewell tour a few years ago just before Primus took the stage, and some drunk kid was trying to describe this band to his friend who had never heard of them, and he said "it's like metal with autism" and that is the best description of Primus I've ever heard.
-
Frizzle Fry is such an incredible album. As a drummer, I remember being blown away by Herb’s playing and how perfect it fit with what Les and Larry were doing.
-
Larry is totally underrated as a guitarist and deserves way more recognition for his playing. Such a humble dude too.
-
“Jerry was a race car driver” was on the Tony Hawk Pro Skater soundtrack 🔥
-
their success speaks volumes to how experimental music was supported by major labels in the 1990's...they are most likely the oddest weirdest and strangest band to ever grace mainstream media
-
One lasting legacy I think could be added is how influential Les was and is to bassists. I literally picked up the instrument because of how rad he made playing bass look and sound. I’m sure I’m not alone.
-
I was so obsessed with Primus in the early ‘90s that I wore a Suck on This shirt to school and got suspended! I’m proud of it!
-
Idc what y’all say, i unironically love Primus
-
Video to Wynona’s Big Brown Beaver is unhinged in the best way.
-
For those that are old enough to remember, Winamp, the media player had a genre called "Primus". It really whoops the Llama's ass. Keep it up Finn, you are opening new eyes to the craziness of 90's "alternative" music, back when it really WAS the alternative.
-
Their most recent release, the Conspiranoid EP, is remarkably fresh. The main track is 11 minutes long and humorously topical for a post-COVID time, though "Follow the Fool" is my personal favorite. Les even throws in some new effects on his bass. They still got it.
-
Primus is such an enigma to me. So much talent and skill just to make the most goofy music ever recorded.
-
Larry is one of the most underappreciated guitarists ever. He's a total bad ass often overshadowed by Les and Herb.
-
Can't believe you failed to mention Jerry Was a Race Car Driver being featured in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater cause that definitely gave them another giant push for sure. Some of us had already been jamming that track well before that came out, but after THPS they were definitely gaining some more mainstream traction for sure. There's definitely an entire subset of ppl that found Primus because of that game.
-
If you’re young, into any kind of hard music, altered on any kinds of substances, you are going to move, probably violently, whenever you hear their grooves, period. I’m in my 40’s now, and stared watching this video comfortably on my bed, now I’m upside down on the floor in the living room, and I have no idea how I got here.
-
Blew my mind when I found out Les did robot chicken’s iconic song intro as well
-
I saw them with Buckethead. What a combo 🔥
-
I'll never forget watching "Wynonna's Big Brown Beaver" in the middle of the night on MTV. Good ol' highschool days. It's been a while but i think the show was or is called Insomnia Theater.
