on Yngwie Malmsteen's first album "rising force" the back says produced by Lester Claypool, I always wondered if it was the same guy?

Then you, sir, are old. Pork Soda was, after all, at the tail end of the first half of their catalog - therefore over 50% of Primus releases came out after PS. IT'S SCIENCE.
But I hear ya.
oh, i got the science. just the first time i've ever thought about it in regards to PS. i knew i was old the day i chose watching baseball over fucking. (life's been a lot better since, btw...)

DestroyYouAlot said:Listening to BI now; so far it's cool, but I'd have to take it home and listen to it on real speakers to get the full effect. Production is what you'd expect for a no-money debut from 1988.
Blind Illusion is pretty "meh." I was excited when I heard about it but let down when I actually got the mp3s. There's plenty better obscure old school prog thrash out there from that era. The only reason that band is even reasonably well-remembered is because of what the lineup later went on to do.

Can anyone here play Tommy the Cat on bass?
[Jan 28,2008 8:53pm - narkybark ""]
I love one of the solo songs "One Better", one of the more recent ones I believe.

DestroyYouAlot said:Possessed - arguably, he was in the FIRST death metal band (depending on what definition you take).
He and Les were also in Blind Illusion, which was apparently progressive tech-thrash - I've never heard it, but with those two players, the idea sounds amazing. Come to think of it, maybe I'll track down some now and give you a review.
Wasn't that Larry Lalonde that was in Possessed?
[Jan 28,2008 8:58pm - yummy ""]
Most certainly.

They are spectacular live. Saw them many, many times in the 90s. Never disappointed.

Wait, what did I say?
*looks back*
Oh, yeah, that's what I thought they were asking. I saw "death metal band" in a Primus thread and my brain said "Possessed." My B.

Saw them at Babyhead. I was 12.

The first time I ever really got "fucked up" was on my way to a Primus concert with my brother. I think I was like 13 and he was about 17 or so (obviously old enough to drive). The show was in Lewiston, ME and other than the fact that Limp Bizkit (whom was completely unknown at the time) opened the show, I cannot recall much of what happened that night.
[Jan 30,2008 1:31am - Hungtableed ""]
It was the first time I ever saw one of these, to say the least....

Bump for enjoying the hell out of Blind Illusion right now. I'm in a bass nerd mood today.

anyone else going to see les claypool at HOB?
March 26th grab your tickets
[Mar 9,2009 5:23pm - orgymaggotfeast ""]
ok, i love primus!
i think the brown album is a bit lame, but past that, i love em.
that being said....Les (while excellent) is just a bit overrated/overpraised, and Tim is way underrated

anyone that said "PRIMUS SUCKS" deserves a gold star. that's what all the primus fans are supposed to say, not the other way around!
[Jul 21,2009 3:18pm - xgodzillax ""]
i was at the DMV video shoot in berkeley in 93. my moms took me for my 11th bday. the melvins also played.
greek theatre FTW

speaking of primus, what about the record les did as 'sausage' with the 2 original members that left primus?
riddles are abound tonight

fuck i love primus.

still saddens me the amount of posers in this thread. real primus fans KNOW you're supposed to say "Primus Sucks" when you really like them.
COME ON PEOPLE GET WIH THE PROGRAM!

fuck yes! used to jam pork soda non stop in high school.
primus sucks
[Nov 9,2009 6:47am - DestroyYouAlot ""]
I somehow, after all these years, JUST picked up on Les playing "Humpty Dance" in the middle of Tweekers from Woodstock. LOL
[Nov 9,2009 10:54am - menstrual_sweatpants_disco ""]
wait wut

Right in the middle, with the bass trem. Doooo-rooooo, a-doooooo-roo.

I just got tickets today for the nyc show. Cant wait, have not seen them in 11 years
[May 6,2010 6:42pm - cav nli ""]
or you could just see them at an outdoor festival in CT with readily available psychedelic drugs
http://www.gatheringofthevibes.com/Home actually i dont think im going this year. unless the friday headliner turns out to be someone insane. [May 6,2010 7:24pm - oscarct ""]
I have gone to that fest a few times..drugs are always the headliner
[May 6,2010 7:25pm - oscarct ""]
ps no one day tix for that fest this year, that is why I will be hitting nyc
[May 6,2010 7:47pm - Lamp ""]
I saw that fest thing in Bridgeport, that sounds absolutely awful. I hope there's a Boston date or something added to that tour, because if I have to go to either a hippie fest or New York City on a Sunday night to see Primus, I think I'll just be patient.
[May 6,2010 8:51pm - oscarct ""]
the ny show is on a friday
[May 6,2010 9:34pm - Lamp ""]
Oh wow, I am an idiot. That might be worth going to after all then, kick ass.
[May 7,2010 1:26am - xgodzillax ""]
i saw primus on the pork soda tour. they filmed the video for DMV at that show. oct 1st 1993, greek theater in berkley ca. yuuup. mirv and the melvins also played
