Who is CG the Mexican??
I think the section about subliminal messages should be deleted. All the things mentioned about the songs are just the actual song meanings. They aren't subliminal messages. And Primus isn't "known" for having subliminal messages in their songs. The fact that there are only six songs mentioned just proves it. Also, the section was made by someone who couldn't spell. I made three corrections to it. That has nothing to do with anything I've said, I just thought I'd mention it. -dayve_57
Yeah, especially because none of the "subliminal" messages are subliminal. Of course Too Many Puppies is an anti-war song. Who actually thinks it's about puppies with guns in their hands? Facamus 07:29, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
Requires disambiguation. NB I believe 'Primus' (stoves) is a trademark. -- Toby Woodwark 05:04, 2004 Apr 13 (UTC)
I Monte eliot believe primus is the best band in the world I Protozoic Waste agree
I can't find any-where in this article that says where this band is from. Are they English, Canadian, Bolivian, what?
-They are from, mainly, El Sobrante, California, a suburb of San Francisco, just north of San Francisco.
Vegoose
Damn did you see them at Vegoose, their set kicked ass! They suprisingly played De Anza Jig (though Ler's banjo was messed up), Eleven (killer jam portion), and Over the Elctric Grapevine, plus their "regulars" (My Name Is Mud, American Life, Jerry Was a Racecar Driver, To Defy the Laws of Tradition, Frizzle Fry, and maybe something I'm missing). I was pleasantly suprised.

Where's the name Primus come from?
A few things
There are at least a couple of things in here that I think need some tweaking. I wouldn't mind doing them myself, but also wanted to check in on the consensus before doing so. First, there's an allusion to Claypool getting the Carl Thompson 6 for Pork Soda and that changing things somewhat, which is about half a truth. Claypool plays a six-string bass on large portions on Sailing the Seas of Cheese, including, notably, on "Tommy the Cat". Also, there's the here that "Wynona..." makes them big stars in a way they hadn't before, and the sense I have is that it gave them something of a boost in popularity, but, as the "...Seas of Cheese" entry suggests, that record was considered itself something of an alternative (or whatever) classic. Pork Soda sold quite well, but it isn't the difference between Bleach and Nevermind or anything like that; it's a much slower build we're talking about in this case and they're never really an enormously popular band. There is reputedly some dissent in the band after that, but there's also reputedly dissent in the band before Pork Soda; I don't think the "Behind the Music" trajectory is theirs, especially if you look at the way musicians seem to come and go in projects Les Claypool's been involved with since the Sausage record or so. Also, I think I would generally agree that the Brown Album is less well-regarded than other records, but we don't really have any evidence of that; anyone know of any reviews or other things we can use to demonstrate this?
