Primus - John The Fisherman Lyrics

Fuck I'm old...30 years ago my ass...

Son: When I grow up I want to be-

My inner primus: A HARVESTER OF SEA

I want a wangbar on my bass.

That's what she said!

Quiet you!!!

you know how in bands the bass gets overshadowed and the guitar gets all of the attention, well in primus, its reversed

Let’s goooo

Papa John's, the pizza man.

The parts at 1:04 and 1:21 remind me so much of the Nicktoons/Beavis and Butthead era

Bad things can lead to good things.

If it hadn't been for a giant meteor impacting on Earth, we will still have dinosaurs.
If it hadn't been for the 1983 video game crash, Nintendo wouldn't save video games.
If it hadn't been for Les Claypool getting turned down by Metallica, we would never have Primus.

No wonder Metallica turned down less clay pool. This music is shit.

God, I love the leg thing Les does.

God, I love the face Les makes to the camera

Fishersman's theme!

Estoy aquí por South Park

will forever love this band. so many good memories. thank you primus.

uploaded 2005?! I was 2......... Crazy

i have never seen a wammy bar on a bass, but damn it sounds good

what the fuck

How am I just now finding this. I didn’t lead a sheltered life and have great taste in music. This is perfection!

Always wondered what happened to that side of the family

Damn 5 more years and it will be 20 years since this video was uploaded... fuck... I'll be 30.... fuck lol

The better the song, the cringier the comment section. Good lord.

No more fishes

I kind of want a bass with a whammy bar now

This band is original thats cool

Who’s rocking this in 2020?
...I mean besides me🤘

Ah yes them don't know about us fellers from the bay we latch on stripers from coyote point to up in the Delta and we fight the mighty sturgeon all night some times woooooop and this shit don't start till midnight it's all about the tide report but it don't matter four foot lepard sharks will put up a fight too

Oh, adoro esa canción! :V

Anyone else hear “Stuck in the middle with you” in that guitar?

Anyone else hear “Stuck in the middle with you” in that guitar?

I know primus sucks and all but this song is badass!

I love me some Primus (and Oysterhead, Frog Brigade, etc etc).. but holy smokes is this the whitest white-people music in the history of the universe lol

Shit just knowing this band, they suck tbh.

Thank you Southpark for introducing me to Primus.

His mullet is fuckin sick!

holy shit this video is old asf

All these geetar parts were written by Todd Huth (their 1st guitarist) for their 1st album. But Ler killed it and learned it good. But Todd. Yeah... bad ass.

I want to see John reel in Old Gregg

Frizzle Fry still my favorite album.

The video looks way more cheery than the actual song is

Start of 2020 Primus memes are up

Funky af with lyrics like a country song.

I remember playing this on college radio back in the early 90s

i think it is great!!!

Los inicios de youtube xd

I'm here because I know a Squidly Munk 🦑🙉😎😂

fucking primus man..... gold

I unlike you all searched for this on purpose because I was born in 1983 when music kicked ass

les is always in danger of playing near fault lines, since his bass can cause the earth to shatter.

Man i wish i had appreciated how much primus sucked back then

Holy shit this video 14 years old

Damn Les with all that rock 'n roll you scare all the fishes in the ocean :D

South park, anyone?

this song is older than me and damn is sucks hard

If this was song was a secretly a Ska song, they’d have to tell us right??

This video is old enough to take calculus.

Maccio Capatonda negli anni 90

Primus in 2020

He would have had to have covered Jethro Tull!

Excellent band

What is this, the first video on YouTube? lmao Primus Sucks

Definitely his own sound, he’s weird as hell, but claypool has made some songs / riffs/ melodies that I don’t think anyone else would ever stumble upon

Only Les man. Some had blisters on their fingers. Les has fingers on his fingers.

wearing thrasher before the hypebeast thing lol

https://youtu.be/LnIRU9sMLzw check this out sundowner is alright

primus sucks

Claypool could play metallica with his feet 🤣but seriously though, sad but true😜

I definitely prefer Primus over Metallica but how hard something is to play is not really important. That weird competitive mentality is for beginners.

I didn’t know that was Dr. Disrespect playing bass on the boat

Here cuz of south park hahahaha

One of The first YT videos!

man, the 90's was a beautiful time

https://youtu.be/LnIRU9sMLzw

This is too good. The older I get the better it gets... for realz.

THis Burnt A sole through My cosmic divine!

I’ve always respected the guitarist. Always in his own world.

Les Claypool. Plays weird, sings weird, looks weird. Auditioned for Metallica.

I like this

Is that ... a whammy bar on his *bass!?*

This is the most late 80s, early 90s MTV thing I've seen since watching MTV in the late 80s and early 90s.

1.75x speed for ska/psychobilly hybrid sound. I stumbled upon this by accident when trying to slow it down to .25x cuz it looked like Les was using a pick on that first note of the song and I was taken aback.

Probably one of the shittiest bands in history

Jay Bird they suck

Viva Primus!👺

PPRRIIMMUUSS SSUUCCKKSS

Every fishing boat needs a live band 🤘🏻

About to go fishing for the first time wish me luck

Primus is so fuckin 🔥

Lol whammy bar on the bass...

gonna tell kids he is christian bale

This song is so incredibly awesome

its almost like uncoordinated music

Lest we call that industrial this time

First heard this on guitar hero 2 I think when I was like 10 or 11. Now im 24 eating acid and just thinking all the acid people ate while I was shitting my diapers

Soundtrack to my middle school years.
Listened to on a Sony Walkman. He’ll yeah!!!
Dog will hunt.

Gotta love that Ole Les Stomp...

Some of the most bizarre lead guitar to learn... Well most Primus' songs.

This video is older than most of the kids that use YouTube

To be fair this was filmed in '91 or '92

I think I was a freshman in high school when this song came out. Thank goodness for the dude who introduced me to Primus back then.

@Δ 30 was basically middle aged 200 years ago. It seems like every generation, the life expectancy increases and kids grow up slower and even go through puberty slower. That said, things change so fast that it's easy to feel old at 30 because you don't understand pop culture references and stuff. The whole nostalgia culture doesn't help either.

Jim Jam Banana Slam wow man great explanation! Makes a lot of sense and helps me not feel old and nostalgic lol

My last 2 brain cells during the 1000 word essay I'm doing that's due tomorrow.

So weird to think that this video was uploaded to YouTube before any 13 year olds of today were even born...

Hah this song is about BASS

Who wants to be a fisherman 2019/2020?

......Primus is my dogs Fav. thinks they way cool suck
