I've never heard Primus play in 6/8 time before. Nice change of pace.

Not Primus.

Les Claypool's solo effort from this CD released in 2009:

Awesome song tho' isn't it?

YouTube - Les Claypool - Mushroom Men

(Mu-mu-mu...mushroom men)

You may see horses try to fly
A dog with periwinkle eyes
But peppered earth with chunks of sky
Now there's a sight worth seein'

When sod gets moist with dewy flow
And the fungus spores they start to show
And if you're sharp and in the know
You may spy a different bein'

(Mu-mu-mu-....mushroom men)

I lean my head on a window pane
And stare out cat-eyed through the rain
And though the dim's an awful strain
I think I've seen a mushroom man
I think I've seen a mushroom man

(Mu-mu-mu...mushroom men)

Boletes, boletes, I'm looking for boletes
Boletes, boletes, I'm looking for boletes
Boletes, boletes
Don't touch the amanitas
Look out for amanitas

(Mu-mu-mu...mushroom men)

Be it seven sons or seven trout
They came to see with throbbing doubt
The fungi as they pranced about
M-m-m-m-mushroom men

(Mu-mu-mu...mushroom men)

Now when mares eat oats and does eat oats
And jackalopes eat bacon
It's time to get your glasses checked
Cause surely you're mistaken

M-m-m-m-mushroom men

that was my initial introduction to Primus, here's my favorite one, the video is fan made...

YouTube - Primus- Mary The Ice Cube

here's the live version...

YouTube - Primus "Mary the Ice Cube" LIVE

back in the day after Cliff Burton died and Metallica was looking for a new bassist, Les Claypool showed up... he blew them away with his ability but they told him he needed to go out and form his own band to show off his unique style of play...

oh yeah, Primus SUCKS!

I actually bought the game Mushroom Men just because Claypool did the soundtrack. The game is mediocre, but the soundtrack is off the hook.

I've seen Les Claypool live. It was an awesome show.

That is all I have to add to this discussion.

Absolutely agreed.
One of the great if not the best.... "Lead Bassists"
