I love the first 3 Primus albums, and Les is amazing, I just wish he'd stop writting comedy lyrics. How many times can you hear the same joke? Primus material got too redundant and boring even though it's technically brilliant. Even stuff Les has done with other projects of the song he wrote with Gov't Mule sounds all the same. I did dig his Frog Brigade album because he covered a lot of great tunes. I still listen to my Blind Illusion cd every now and then. I've been reading the Metallica book SO WHAT and Claypool auditioned for the band, but they said he was too good.
I found Pork Soda a handful. Technically flawless but perhaps too self indulgent. After that I felt Primus lost their way quite badly. There's no doubting how good Les/Larry/Herb are with their respective instruments but their output after Sailing The Seas Of Cheese sounded more like workouts for anoraks than music. -------------------- Hail Santa...

Late Metallica is more like "Guilty displeasures". I must give four thumbs up (with my big toes) for all the bass players that were mentioned here, especially Chris Squire (aka, "he-who-because-of-him-I-got-a-bass"), John Wetton and that Darkie guy from Voidvoid (or whatever they're called). Speaking of guilty pleasure, I like Flea, because of the funkyness, the agressiveness in the funkyness, and the energy he puts on the give a show full of agressiveness and funkyness. Plus he's got a booming bass sound. GO AHEAD, TANGENTO, SUE ME FOR LIKING FLEA!!!!!!!

Absolutely, if we're talking about St Anger Management. But my guilty pleasures do include that nice pop song Until It Sleeps, and also Bleeding Me - both feature some interesting bass work by Jasonic. It's a pity you need to tune down half a step to play along. Oh and I loathe Hetfield's oooing and ohhing when he's singing. -------------------- "Love your enemies just in case your friends turn out to be a bunch of bastards." - R. A. Dickson
