...just because your friend likes punk and then likes primus doesnt mean primus is punk. lol.

1. they know what they're doing. 2. they have complex time signatures. and 3. they don't sound anything like punk!

they are not punk. they are a strang kind of funk/metal/prog.


LET EM IN!!!! LET EM IN!!!!

I didn't say that at all. lol. I was stating that punk isn't. because it sucks.

But Primus isn't punk at all.

That's it. We're fighting.



Did anyone see me say that other music isn't talented? I don't think so.

I listen to all kinds of music but I know to distinguish one from another and let me tell ya.

Primus aren't punk!

LET EM IN!!!! LET EM IN!!!!

They are more prog than styx!!!!

LET EM IN!!!!!

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.

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?

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