I think they suck. Not as much as System of a Down, but they suck.

If by suck you mean original and awesome, then yeah.

I have to say I don't think much of their songs. The singer needs singing lessons.. and they need different clothing.

Primus is one of the most original and talented bands to come around in the past 15 yrs..

Drums = Good!
Bass = Good!
Guitar = Good!
Singing = SOMEBODY KILL ME PLEASE
The singing makes an otherwise awesome band damn near unlistenable... but for some reason I can't stop listening...

Are you kidding me? You are insulting me because I dont share your taste in music? Get a life man.

I've only ever heard a Primus/Ozzy version of NIB which I thought was pretty rad, but man, Marluxian is making a very good case for them not being so hot.
No wonder I dont remember them..... they suck. :(
I dont call that music. I call that a bunch of kids in a garage pretending to be a band.

So me running off at the mouth sways your opinion of a band you have not really heard much from? hrm
I will agree that Claypool's voive is an acquired taste, but the band as a whole is very talented

I didn't listen to those guys. And I won't be listening to Primus either. I watched two of their youtube vids, and that was enough for me to say they aren't my style.
The guy can't sing, and the lyrics suck too.
They all look like they pulled something outta the bottom of their closet and ran up on stage to play around.

BLASPHEMER!
Les Claypool is the king daddy of all bassist. That much is uncontested.

Buddy of mine once put a System CD in the stereo while I was driving my leg on a road trip.
Somewhere along I-75 in Tennesse is a System CD nestled up to the berm.

I'm not too big on them (mainly the singer), but I'd hardly call them the worst band ever created, with all these gay emo kid bands on the radio these days.

Yes, clearly their drummer sucks too:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWjp7NqNksk
As oppposed to Lars, the shitty drummer for the "real" band Ganalon mentioned (they used to be real anyway I'll give them that):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6gmBBdVYpKI
Worst solo ever.
But back on topic.....Primus is a quirky band, but to say that the members have no talent is just Warclaidhm-level ignorant.
Rules.
That is all.
Agreed!

Its funny in an interview for behind the music Hetfield said that when claypool tried out for Metallica after Cliff died, they didnt take him because he was "Too Good".
Too bad, he could have played for a real band then. ;)

Cliff Burton was sick, even though Metallica has historically sucked. I'm kind of upset by the lack of Entwistle in this thread, however.

Only someone who didn't grow up in the 80's would say Metallica "historically" sucked.

And maybe Metallica wouldn't have turned into such gigantic pussies and stopped being a "real" band.
Primus > Metallica anyway.
Claypool rocks, but http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HDB37QikJxk is better.
Flea's a good bass player (despite the fact that I hate the Chili Peppers), but I bet even he would tell you Les Claypool is better.
Les Claypool is the Buddy Rich of bass if you ask me.

Funny you mention that. Flea might cop to that. But I think Flea is the bass god, as much as I like Claypool.
Buddy Rich? Man, you are trolling history. Lets talk about Mingus.
