Petition for Primus to be in Progarchives

Personally, when I listen to Primus I hear a huge Zappa and Crimson influence. If that's not prog enough, then I don't know what is.

But I really don't care if they're in the archives or not...either way, it won't change how much I like the band.

spite!

Awesome, my friend bought that DVD as soon as it came out. Have you seen it?

So Beefheart and Zappa can sing ???

 

Hallucino-Genetics DVD Primus has released its first concert DVD, Hallucino-Genetics. Recorded June 26 at Chicago’s Aragon Ballroom, this live set captures the recently reunited trio’s final US summer date. Like each show on this leg of Primus’ 2004 tour, Hallucino-Genetics features a complete reading of the group’s Frizzle Fry album. Other highlights include “Jerry Was A Race Car Driver” and “My Name is Mud." This DVD is formatted for all regions (NTSC).

sippin' a little too much of the bubbly there eddy? smokin' the grass?

as much as i like the group... i'm not sure they're prog. if primus is prog, then that opens the door for tons of other psuedo-punk and -alternative groups to be considered prog too. To me, progressive rock is the addition of jazz, classical, and ethnic musical styles into a rock format where highly talented musicians play sophisticated, intelligent rock music that is complex, challenging, and deep. I guess its a definition in progress... but either way, I'm not entirely sure Primus meets those standards. Claypool is, without any doubt, a spectacular bassist. The band plays complex music. Despite this, I'm not entirely impressed with the rest of the band and it does seem to be a little too punk for my taste... most of their songs are really jams based off of a highly complex Claypool slap-bass riffs that go on and on until the song comes to an end. I'm not saying the band is bad... but I'm not so sure they're prog, so I'm (reluctantly) going to vote no.

And Claypool needs to shut up. He can't sing. Would somebody tell him this already?

If Beefheart and Zappa are accepted as prog, then Primus should NOT be left out !! Claypool are one of the best bassplayers on the planet and Primus are unique.
