Looking forward to the latest album. 12 years is far too long.

I'm really excited for the new album, I've heard word that the sound is going to be somewhat reminiscent of Frizzle Fry, which is probably my favorite Primus.

As well as a typing erriot, also a pool when it gets deeply chilled out it becomes a pole (as in North Pole) (comeon, it is a Monday...............)

POI

"erriot" - an error done by an idiot or one during an idiotic moment.................................

BTW one reason I much prefer PA, is that if you make an error, then it is likely to get a gentle tease of a correction, as opposed to Prog Ears, where politeness tends to disappear and you can be treated as a total sh*thead for the slightest of slips.

Not so long, there was that EP with the DVD combo - Animals Shouldn't Try To Act Like People. If you haven't heard that one and you really can't wait, I'd recommend it. It was actually my first try at Primus after Frog Brigade.

Love Frizzle Fry and the Brown Album- Tim was a MUCH better drummer, contrary to popular belief!

I didn't think Brain being the better drummer was popular belief. Both are great drummers though, and I've heard the contrasts between Herb and Brain are similar to those between Bruford and White in Yes. I can agree to that.

What is it, 2 weeks roughly till the new album? Can't wait! Big smile

I always thought Herb was the best drummer in Primus's lineup.

Getting extremely excited for the new album. Primus were one of the very first artists I really "got into" when I was younger. I'll be seeing them in my town in October, my second time. Can't freaking wait!

Well, that makes three preorders for September along with Steve Hackett and Tori Amos.

Come on free tickets for life!

That's a ringing endorsement for me. I was going to listen to the streaming last night but will wait for the arrival most likely.

Liking what I have heard so far of this. Sounds like Frizzle Fry.

Eh I gave up on waiting and am streaming it. I forgot to mention also a pre-order of the Levin Torn White album. I think I may have set a personal record.

Guitarist Larry LaLonde was in the legendary thrash metal band Possessed, to my surprise. I remember the album Seven Churches.

I remember an interview with Possessed's Jeff Becerra round about the time Frizzle Fry came out where he bagged on Ler for joining Primus. Crippling accident or no, dude was a dullard who had nothing to say. Called them "f**king Prime-ass".

I'm lovin the Primus Love!

I personally like what Larry has contributed to the group. His guitar work helped the band fit into all kinds of diverse concert bills during their crucial first years.

Here is a primus replica band that I just have to share with you guys.

(I hope they find me and pay me for this haha)

Their drummer is Mike Machine (World's Fastest Drummer).

This is my 1st post. So might as well make it count

Bob's Party Time --> Bob's party time - YouTube

Wynona's Big Brown Beaver --> Wynonas Big Brown beaver - YouTube

I found their page, looks like they're just beginning, they are tight tho.

PORK SODA | Facebook

Not sure where they're from.. But, they certainly kick the crap out of the other Primus Tributes.
