Here's another guy that some people will find annoying as a vocalist but I happen to like. But don't you dare knock his bass playing or I will kick your ass.

| Yep - he sings like a goofball, plays like a maniac. I wouldn’t want it any other way. |

Desaturating Seven is a great album, full blown prog rock right there. His voice is fie for the music. ------------- The sun has left the sky... ...Now you can close your eyes |

He caught my attention with Frog Brigade which I heard on AOLs long gone progressive streaming radio station. It was the gateway drug for Primus for me. I started with Animals Should Not Try To Act Like People and then I was hopelessly hooked and devoured the whole back catalog. ------------- Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

I got hooked on Primus when Pork Soda came out, the rest is history. They’ve not had a dud album at all. Desaturating Seven is amazing, Frizzle Fry and Tales from the Punchbowl filling out my top 3 from them. |

| I was a fan since they played a show with Faith No More in 1989 in a small club. Has always been fantastic live. I have tickets to see them in June for A Tribute to Kings tour, but I will have to wait and see. It hasn't been officially canceled or postponed. |

Always loved the dude's voice, fits perfectly to their quirky style of music. I started with Frizzle Fry in the early 90's and was really blown away, of course I got the next two and remember eagerly waiting for them to release Tales From The Punchbowl which I think is their best album along with Frizzle Fry. Unfortunately I think Antipop was their last great album, I really don't care for anything they did since they reformed.

Hi, I think this is great stuff, and the vocals, for my tastes are almost satirical, and I have no issue with that. Some incredible bass playing, too! Probably one of the best these days! Sad, really, and many folks will not give this a good listen for the great material and music that it is.

Oh wow, I totally missed out on Desaturating Seven. (I was unemployed when it came out). Gonna check that out on Spotify. ------------- Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

And just now got an email announcing that the shows have been postponed and are being rescheduled. I was looking forward to hearing Les sing Geddy. |
