Primus Proposition

[Prhyme]

I have cooked up in my mind a Primus pack because, as many of us know, Rock Band is in dire need of some Primus songs, not to mention more variety of challenging/interesting bass lines. I dug through the archives and picked some songs that I thought would make a great pack for every instrument. I included links to the songs on youtube so that those unfamiliar can check the songs out and see what they think.

So if you agree, disagree, or have modifications you think would be better, post your thoughts here. Sign here, post here, flame away, whatever it takes to keep this thread running.

*UPDATE* I'll also be posting videos of the other songs mentioned in the thread so that everyone can get a taste. At the very least this thread will serve as a place to check out some Primus videos.

************
My Top 3 Picks

Harold of the Rocks http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yu19-qvD9L4
This is a live version of the song and is slightly extended. The album version is only somewhere around 6 minutes long.

[Haruhara]

Southbound Pacaderm

Mr. Krinkle


Yes, Please

[BillLauren]

I myself have posted a petition for Primus on Rock Band a few weeks back with good feedback. All the songs you listed would be excellent for Rock Band, and I 100% agree that Les Claypools Bass playing would be a challenge. As for the post above mine, great choices except for Mr. Krinkle. The only reason why I say that is the majority of that song is played with a Cello, still one of the greats though. If only one song made it on though, I would want either My Name Is Mud or John The Fisherman.

[tombrady]

tommy the ****in cat.

[Cyberdyne]

Animals Should Not Try To Act Like People.

5 song EP download.

[Haruhara]

I know Mr. Krinkle is on stand up but i still think it would be fun to play hopefully HMX wouldnt hold bowing against les since they made us play the piano part in "The Collector"

[frostywolf]

I'd love a Primus pack. Primus sucks.

[Cyberdyne]

"Nativity In Black" - the version with Les Claypool and Ozzy is just ballz out. love that intro.

Eclectic Electric
Wynona's Big Brown Beaver
American Life

[NX013]

How come nobody has mentioned "jerry was a racecar driver"

[DeckardB]

Positive vote from me. I would love to surprise my bass player with something really nuts.

[Prhyme]

I know Mr. Krinkle is on stand up but i still think it would be fun to play hopefully HMX wouldnt hold bowing against les since they made us play the piano part in "The Collector"

Not to mention the synthesizer in March of the Pigs and the turntables in Sabotage. I'm pretty sure there are a couple of songs where you play a keyboard like instrument. Harmonix doesn't seem to be too discriminatory in their selection of instruments, and they've done well by that so far.

[Transbrak]

id like frizzle fry for full album dlc thank you :)

[Prhyme]

I would definitely spring for Frizzle Fry.

[homebrewz]

Primus friggin rocks!

Too Many Puppies
Harold of the rocks
Fish On

[Oggih]

Here Come the Bastards
Sgt. Baker
Jerry Was a Race Car Driver

Give us Primus.

[ddub]

Not only am I down with a primus pack, but I think it should be a special pack with 3 Primus songs and bass solo tour! What better band to play in bass solo tour than Primus.

[Nocturnal]

I'd desperately love a Primus pack, but I'd take any song by them... gimme all their albums I say...

Also Eclectic Electric does have vocals, and I'd love to sing them "SANITY IS COMING TO YOUR TOWN!"

My top picks are usually like Shake Hands with Beef, Lacquer head, and Electric Uncle Sam... anything else off Anti-pop that has Tom Morello's guitar would be awesome though...

Just gimme some Primus! Give the bassist lovers something to play beyond Rush and Black Sabbath that's fun.

[bood-boy]

Southbound Pacaderm
The Toys Went Winding Down
Mr. Krinkle


Yes, Please




how do u expect to play Mr Krinkle on bass when hes playing it with a bow in the song?!?! and its "the toys go winding down"


the Primus 3 pack should be...

Wynonas Big Brown Beaver
Groundhog's Day
Welcome to this World


Wynona might be their big hit, and the band might hate the song, but its clearly the best song by them for RB... has the best guitar solo of any of their songs.

Groundhogs Day goes without sayin, would be one of the funnest songs in the game! and same with Welcome to this World.

[Prhyme]

Bring
Us
More
Primus

[Prhyme]

I've been thinking, not only do we need Primus, but we need some of the Les Claypool Frog Brigade as well. Also, I wanted to have something else to say besides BUMP.

[Prhyme]

http://www.myteespot.com/images/Images_d/DSCF1225.jpg

[Color Spray]

Primus would be ownage, but I think at times the drums would be ridiculously tough, considering the fact that their drummer plays on a double bass set. Songs like "Tommy the Cat" or "Pudding Time" where he's constantly at it would be tough unless Harmonix releases a second bass pedal add-on. I'd probably go one of their lighter-on-the-bass-drum songs:

Wynona's Big Brown Beaver
Jerry Was a Racecar Driver
Lacquerhead
Professor Nutbutter's House of Treats
Chastizing of the Renegade

Songs of that sort...

[MattyPHATty]

No dount about it, Primus would be one of the best DLC in a little while...Bring on the Primus!...oh, and Primus Sucks!

[barber78]

my name is mud.
Jerry was a racecar driver
too many puppies.

[barber78]

tommy the cat too!

[Zerostyle]

"Toys Go Winding Down", please..... love the triplet sound of Les' bass in that song.

Failing that, anything off of Frizzle Fry is cool. Or "Nature Boy" off of Pork Soda, yeah, you know what, there are a lot of Primus possibilities. Can I suggest there be MORE than one Primus pack?

[Prhyme]

Can I suggest there be MORE than one Primus pack?

I don't see why not.

[bluepotato44]

i vote for 1 mr krinckle
2 shake hands with beef
3 too many puppies
4 jerry was a race car driver
pretty much ANYTHING would be great!!! one i think would be the best would never make it though the red-tape is the rehashed tune from metallica
"the thing that should not be" off thier rhinoplasty ep

[GarryMar]

I've been thinking, not only do we need Primus, but we need some of the Les Claypool Frog Brigade as well. Also, I wanted to have something else to say besides BUMP.

I second that, frog brigade songs rock, so does his holy mackerel stuff too.

I know its got no vocals, but the awakening would be an awesome song for when you make trhe singer go and get you drinks!
I'd go with The Antipop too, love it.
And i love scissor man.

Antipop is probs the only one that would fit into rock band, but i still like the world as i see it in my special mind :)

[HerrDü]

Or "Hamburger Train"?

[whypick1]

Wynona - I was sooo pumped when they played this when I saw them 2 years ago
Jerry - How can you not?
Frizzle Fry - Insane ending would make for some epic RB moments
Professor Nutbutter's House of Treats - A definite long shot

[GarryMar]

any primus would make me happy tbh :)

[Prhyme]

Friday BUMP.

Funny thing about weekends when you're unemployed is that they don't mean so much. Except you get to hang out with your working friends is all.

[WillzZz]

Yeah! Primus Sucks!

Love to hear some Tommy the Cat, Bob's Party Time Lounge, Frizzle Fry, Wynonna's Big Brown Beaver, Antipop, Too Many Puppies, My Name is Mud, American Life. I could go on but those ones are probably the most suited for Rock Band purposes, being fun for the whole band.

[Prhyme]

http://thephoenix.com/OnTheDownload/content/binary/Les%20Claypool%20.jpg

[GroovyBanana]

I'd be all over any Primus song they made available. I would die a happy man if Frizzle Fry became one of the downloadable albums.

[JiggMaster]

Bob's Party Time Lounge would be awesome.

on the subject of Claypool's side projects, C2B3 or oysterhead would be great.

[Bahnjoe]

I'd by psyched for a Primus DLC pack. ESPECIALLY if it's the Frizzle Fry Album. Mmmmmmmm.......

But if it's just a pack, I'd have to go with:

John the Fisherman
Sgt. Baker
Tommy the Cat

John the Fisherman because it simply is a solid song for all the parts. Fun singing, drums (the drum part is awesome), bass. Perhaps not, but I was just thinking how awesome it would be.

Sgt. Baker, because it is a nice chill-out song. Is it just me, or is it that most packs seem to have one song that is easier then the rest (NIN pack for example. The Collector is really easy for the instruments compared to March of the Pigs and The Perfect Drug). So I think that could fit in.

Tommy the Cat is just........it's Tommy the Cat. Need I say more?

Yeah, they have better songs like My Name is mud and whatnot, but a lot of the songs would be impossible for drums. As someone above me posted, this is a double bass band. My Name is Mud would be WAY off on the drums because basically most of the time it's just a bass roll.

So, yeah. Just my 2 cents.

[LinkStrifeLeonhart]

I wholeheartedly support any Primus in Rock Band. I would most definitely love to groove 'as' Les Claypool any day of the week.

[trench762]

Most primus would be awesome
I would have to include
Tommy the cat
Jerry was a racecar driver
Ballad of Buckethead! double whammy

[deathblooms51]

I fully agree with a primus song pack which should include the following

John the Fisherman
Tommy The Cat
American Life
Jerry Was A Racecar Driver
Those Damned Blue Collared Tweekers
DMV
My Name Is Mud
Wynona's Big Brown Beaver

Les Claypool is a god among men, and he is my Career guitarist in rock band :)

[DrGonzo86]

Jerry Was A Race Car Driver
Tommy The Cat
Sgt. Baker
Wynona's Big Brown Beaver
Too Many Puppies
My Name Is Mud
Mr. Krinkle
DMV


Gimme, gimmie, gimmie!

Should have had one of these songs in GH2 instead of John The Fisherman...good Primus song, but so many better ones.

[leftover_crack]

i would love to see the whole pork soda album

[Cranioclash]

Primus Sucks!

How about Fish On?

Q: How many bass solos do we get in Rock Band?
A: Never enough.

My only exception to your post - I don't see much mention of Pork Soda!

[Genecore]

PRIMUS ! YES thats all I have to say, singing would be fantastic and bass playing well that goes without saying, just put anything in by primus I'd be happy.

[bood-boy]

Jerry Was A Race Car Driver
Tommy The Cat
Sgt. Baker
Wynona's Big Brown Beaver
Too Many Puppies
My Name Is Mud
Mr. Krinkle
DMV


Gimme, gimmie, gimmie!

Should have had one of these songs in GH2 instead of John The Fisherman...good Primus song, but so many better ones.




JTF is perfect for rockband, but not so-much for GH... not enough good guitar in JTF for GH.. but the drumming/singing for it would suit rockband perrrrrfectly....

despite its popularity, Wynona's Big Brown Beaver is the best song for Rockband in my opinion.... sickest guitar solo in any of their songs..

[DasKonstruct]

definately want ballad of buckethead

[Calibos]

To Defy the Laws of Tradition
Wynona
Tommy the Cat (Suck on This Version)

[DB6896]

Your top 3 picks are awesome but I would probably put; Nature Boy, Welcome to This World, or My Name is Mud in place of Lacquer Head.

[thedigitalman]

1.) Jerry Was a Race Car Driver
2.) Tommy the Cat
3.) Harold of the Rocks

Its about time they put some bass driven stuff in Rock Band, and what better way to do that than having Tommy the Cat?

[grimblue]

John the Fisherman please

[Ultimatum]

John the Fisherman is needed purely because of the drum intro.

[Ultimatum]

Greet the Sacred Cow is good too, along with Too Many Puppies.

[ryanseagraves]

F YES PRIME TIME. hows about...Electric UncleSam...Greet The Sacred Cow ...Ground Hog Day...Eleven....Sgt. Baker....

[violenceisgolden]

First post, and this thread excites me. I'd like to see a six-pack of Primus and if I could pick the songs, I would probably have to go with these:

Jerry Was A Race Car Driver
Welcome To This World
Nature Boy
Wynona's Big Brown Beaver
Toys Go Winding Down
Frizzle Fry

[mentaljwry]

Primus Sucks!!!!!!

Les Claypool would give some respectability to Bass.

Just gimme the whole Sailing the Seas of Cheese album and I'm good.

[Rokkstar]

I would like Primus they're pretty good.

[Demon4x4]

Sailing the Seas of Cheese!

[Nachttoter]

I have been a primus fan since I first hear jerry was a race care driver about 3 weeks after it was released a friend turned me on to them knowing that I would love the talent of Les Claypool

top pick
Tommy The Cat
there is not a primus fan who does not like this song even people who don't care for primus like this song so for me it seems like a natural choice.


Second Pick
Winnona's Big Brown Beaver
Now for me this one is purely for the fact that it is probably one of the most widley know (by non primus fans) song by primus how often have you hear "oh yeah the beaver song I like that one"

Third and final Pick
Nature Boy
this is my pick I chose this one cause I would love to see people singing to this one in public trying to rack up the points but mostly cause it is my favorite

honorable mentions
John The Fisherman
Shake Hands With Beef
Devil Went Down To Georgia (cover)

[The Hungry Samurai]

My primus pack?

Wynona's Big Brown Beaver
Tommy the Cat
My name is Mud

[Vedicardi]

Jerry Was a Race Car Driver would be more fun than any of the first 6. XD

[mrasimmons]

TO many Puppies is a bad *** song oh and frizzle fry, john the fisherman to.

[Kaptankrunch92]

those d*mn blue collar tweekers...awesome song...especially the one they played with buckethead at ozzfest

[elvor]

Hell yeah on the Primus!

Wynona's Big Brown Beaver
Tommy the Cat
To Defy the Laws of Tradition

TDTLOT is about the most kickass song ever.

But any Primus would be good.

[r00db0y]

I fully agree with a primus song pack which should include the following

John the Fisherman
Tommy The Cat
American Life
Jerry Was A Racecar Driver
Those Damned Blue Collared Tweekers
DMV
My Name Is Mud
Wynona's Big Brown Beaver

Les Claypool is a god among men, and he is my Career guitarist in rock band :)

wut he said - solid playlist - primus suks!

[Veles]

Tommy the Cat would be epically awesome

I'd love to see some other Les Claypool stuff too, One Better is one of my favourites.

[Griffinhollow]

No mentions of Jellikit? It has a freaking DRUM solo.

How about a live Primus pack?

Jellikit

Tommy the Cat (1997 Lorely festival)

Greet the Sacred Cow (TRL performance)

You also get The Awakening halfway through Tommy the Cat.

[R33DH4M]

My 3 Pack:

"Is it Luck?"
http://youtube.com/watch?v=p5cOqCjInYI

"Making Plans for Nigel"
http://youtube.com/watch?v=4WbzdqwkHAk

And of course "Jerry Was a Race Car Driver"

It would finally a be a challenge for bassists if Primus made it to DLC.

[Thunderfoot]

It would finally a be a challenge for bassists if Primus made it to DLC.

Drummers, too. Herb, the ginseng drummer is no slouch.

[Gatorguy91]

Primus or Oysterhead plz

[FrogKid28]

i only care about john the fisherman

[Lektorfc]

Of course we need Primus.

[danrodrigu]

if it was a pack this would be it

[danrodrigu]

if it was a pack this would be it tommy the cat, winonas big brown beaver, john the fisherman, jerry was a race car driver, my name is mud and finally professor nutter butters house of treats it's a long jam song but it's fun as hell and if any whole album would be avaliable i'd have to go with FRIZZLE FRY because it's thier best album ever

[ifeelteethyoufeellead]

wynona!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Cranioclash]

Fish On: More Bass Solos Please.

[Princeps32]

Electric Uncle Sam would rock face, some of their classic singles too.

[iron4ever]

All solid songs even Southpark theme would be good lol

[toymachineSH]

all these Rush fan boys would **** a brick if they played Tommy The Cat

[Galbrezu]

all these Rush fan boys would **** a brick if they played Tommy The Cat

Uhhh, you should be aware that there's gonna be a lot of Rush fans that are also Primus fans right and that Rush was a MAJOR influence on the band.

That said, fully support Primus in rock band, and some of Les Claypool's other project after Primus would also be welcomed with open arms :D.

[ELDUDEARINO69]

Jerry Was A Race Car Driver...Stroked Wyona's Big Brown Beaver that was a porcupine ...Then Mr. Krinkle met Mr. Mud. then...I dunno lmao

But the more Primus the better

[Strawberry Fields]

Tommy The Cat
Jerry Was a Race Car Driver
Over the Electric Grapevine

That's my pack.

[Gargoyle2500]

I'm surprised so few people suggested To Defy The Laws Of Tradition. Only two other people suggested it. I think this song not only represents how unpredictable Primus are, But is also one of their best and most overlooked songs.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=231PT-5nKhY

If I could only download one Primus song for RB, I'd have to choose To Defy.

This recording is not a studio recording, It is a live radio recording from 1989.

[Ultimatum]

I think Eleven would be an incredible song to play.

[JustinTyme]

I say we get a "Super Bass Player Track Pack" with some Chili Peppers, some Primus and some Rush...

[SloppyJimbo]

I really like the Heckler. I hope something Primus shows up soon.

To Defy is awesome too.

[BonyGrunt]

I say we get a "Super Bass Player Track Pack" with some Chili Peppers, some Primus and some Rush...

Well since Moving Pictures is on its way out within the next couple weeks, let's switch that to Incubus.

No, not "Drive, Megalomaniac, Stellar" Incubus. "Fungus Amongus" Incubus. Fungus Amongus = 100% influenced by Primus.

[mrsexy]

My Primus 3-Pack would be:

Wynona's Big Brown Beaver
Too Many Puppies
and of course...Tommy The Cat

[Cpt. Overkill]

all these Rush fan boys would **** a brick if they played Tommy The Cat

Geddy Lee is still a more talented bassist.

[Ultimatum]

Not so sure about that....

And Claypool is definitely a WAY better slapper than Geddy.

[MonsterZero]

Big Brown Beavers!!

[destruction3402]

I voted yes, Primus is one of my top three most wanted bands.
I would love any primus, particularly Mr. Knowitall, DMV, American Life, Tommy the Cat, Jerry was a Racecar Driver, Puddin' Taine, Pudding Time, Laquer Head, Spagetti Western (sick drums and bass), Too Many Puppies.... I just realized that I could go on untill I have listed all their songs, you'll get my point.
To sum it up: Any Primus is welcome.
There's really no band that could replace them, they really are one of a kind.

[GuitarHero0906]

John the Fisherman
South Park Theme
Those are my favorites

[WhizKidRaven]

I was debating this with a friend today...I'd almost go as far as to say that HMX owes Primus some love on Rock Band. If it wasn't for Primus, they wouldn't have had a major act to give up master tracks, which is basically a requirement nowadays...

There are so many great tracks for bass/drums, so bring on the MUD!

[Hoagster]

Yes We Need Some Primus, They Even Have The Pig Mask In The Game!

[machchunk]

Really? How have we gotten this far in Rock Band's life without ANY Primus? Get me Brown Album, stat.

[Zeleii]

Really? How have we gotten this far in Rock Band's life without ANY Primus? Get me Brown Album, stat.
Machchunk is right, end bassism release Primus!

[navaha42]

Machchunk is right, end bassism release Primus!

...Bassism?

:confused:

[Ecks-Bawks-Kid]

...Bassism?

:confused:

Like Racism, but instead of race, bass, get it?

Also,
Primus Pack 01
Jerry was a Racecar Driver
Too Many Puppies
John The Fisherman

Tommy the Cat should be on-disk for Rock Band 3 in my opinion, if not, replace John the Fisherman with Tommy the Cat.

EDIT: Post 100 w00t!

[JRowe3388]

Jerry Was A Racecar Driver
Wynona's Big Brown Beaver
John The Fisherman


DO WANT

[FightTheYouth]

Southbound Pachyderm
Too Many Puppies
DMV
Welcome To This World

[pfunk1978]

yes...this would be awesone...tommy the cat!!...how about those damn blue collerd tweekers...i love that song

[MissMoongoddess]

Must... have...Primus!

[Nuff_Said]

rock band desperately needs Primus. Anything by primus would be acceptable.
PRIMUS SUCKS!!!!

[klorjne]

Groundhogs Day
Tommy the Cat
Electric Uncle Sam

[Trismatics]

by releasing the frizzle fry album in its entirety? i think that doing so would perhaps cover a lot of good songs To Defty the Laws of Tradition, Mr. Know It All, Toys Go Winding Down, and throw in the bonus track as well!!!! Skinny/Constantinople

[twankus]

Frizzle Fry or Suck On This (the albums) would both be phenomenal for DLC

[Magnet]

I'm stunned that we still haven't seen any Primus. They were one of only two GH2 PS2 main setlist bands to provide master tracks for the game. Their music has since gone MIA. :(

[Fudgepuppy]

Those damned blue collar tweekers just for the vocals... And guitar... And bass... And damn it drums too! That song is effin awesome.

[Ultimatum]

Wynona's Big Brown Beaver and Sgt. Baker.

[RiceBalls]

a Primus pack would kick ass!!!!

[My name is Fez]

I think most people who know me around here now my dying need for Primus to be in this game.

The Fisherman Trilogy plus a handfull of other songs (probably Tommy the Cat [assuming it's not on disc later], Jerry was a Racecar Driver, Sgt. Baker, Wynona's Big Brown Beaver or, well, hell, like 90% of their music) would be super ultra epic.

[whompaone]

There are two songs I did not see. First, "Nature Boy" second "Defy The Laws of Traditions" otherwise great selection

[1rish Shaman]

I'd buy pretty much any Primus song if it was released. I made a suggestion ages ago when I first joined about a pack, but that was before I fully got into them.

Tommy The Cat would be a great track, as would Wynona's Big Brown Beaver.

Its not up there, and I doubt if theres any live recordings, but look for "Ballad of Bodacious" from the Antipop album and "Professer Nutbutters House of Treats" from the Tales From The Punchbowl album.

[Ultimatum]

Sailing The Seas of Cheese is an absolutely brilliant album.

[actionfence]

I've been complaining about lack of Primus in RockBand, also.

[Ferocious Q]

Tommy The Cat would kick SOOOOO much ass in RB!!!

[BlackwaterPark]

Admittedly, I've only ever heard like three Primus songs, but it's enough that I wanna hear more!

[Witticus]

I think the entire Frizzle Fry album would be completly awesome, especially for bass player!

[CycoMiko138]

I think the entire Frizzle Fry album would be completly awesome, especially for bass player!

This, please. Drummers love Primus, too.:D

[Witticus]

This, please. Drummers love Primus, too.:D

I know drummers would love it, Primus has to have a crazy drummer to flow with Les Claypool's insane style. But its a lot rarer to get songs with bass as a highlight.

[grimblue]

all I want is John The Fisherman

[eagles1990]

Jerry Was A Racecar Driver and DMV Please!!!!

[MrFruitLord]

I love Primus. I would download ANYTHING Hmx put from them.

[LollipopChoob]

Needs moar Primus.

[lifeindeadtime]

I'm not a huge Primus fan, but I did enjoy their bigger songs and I'd consider buying them for DLC.

"Tommy the Cat"
"My Name Is Mud"
"Jerry Was a Racecar Driver"
"Wynona's Big Brown Beaver"

[Salambo]

Oh God, yes. The lack of Claypool in Rockband is disturbing, to say the least.

[chase250]

We should be getting Rock Band Primus instead of Rock Band Beatles

[DEADCOP-ONaROPE]

I myself have posted a petition for Primus on Rock Band a few weeks back with good feedback. All the songs you listed would be excellent for Rock Band, and I 100% agree that Les Claypools Bass playing would be a challenge. As for the post above mine, great choices except for Mr. Krinkle. The only reason why I say that is the majority of that song is played with a Cello, still one of the greats though. If only one song made it on though, I would want either My Name Is Mud or John The Fisherman.


Don't forget Mr. Knowitall!!

[LegendofRock3021]

I'm surprised that Primus isn't in Rock Band already. It would be awesome to play some of their stuff, especially "Jerry Was a Race Car Driver" and "John the Fisherman".

[ERock13]

Frizzle fry!!!!!!!!!!

[Yellowcake]

bump!

because this is the one band that really needs representation in the RB world.

[FlyGuyLXI]

I never did like John the Fisherman, but lately seeing some other songs from Primus, I'm starting to appreciate them as a good, weird band, like The Pixies.

I'm up for Primus, some off the Pork Soda album would be cool.

[ArmsAreLoud]

I'm all for Primus. I admittedly don't know much about the band, but Amos Moses would be pretty cool.

[Oscar-Rio]

I'm surprised that Primus isn't in Rock Band already.

It's because Primus sucks too much.

[Boyardee2142]

I'm pretty sure John the fisherman is in Guitar hero 2.

[LegendofRock3021]

It's because Primus sucks too much.

I couldn't agree more with that. :)

Here's my 6-pack:

"Harold Of The Rocks"
"Jellikit"
"Jerry Was a Race Car Driver"
"John the Fisherman"
"To Defy the Laws of Tradition"
"Tommy the Cat"

[Ultimatum]

Southbound Pachyderm would be insanely awesome.

[Ferocious Q]

John The Fisherman
Tommy The Cat
Jerry Was A Racecar Driver

[ZiR23]

john the fisherman
tommy the cat
jerry was a racecar driver

perfect

[Discourag3d]

No one mentioned the South Park Theme? Sure it's short, but its cool :p

It would be nice to have Jerry was a Race Car Driver, John the Fisherman, and The South Park Theme. :p But then again, those are the only songs I heard from them yet.

[JesusSilencio]

Yeah, I am pretty surprised Primus hasn't made it to rock band yet. I couldn't imagine anything less than a 6-pack, 'cause there are too many songs that would be a hell of a lot of fun on this game.

Choosing 6 songs would probably be something like:
Tommy the Cat
Groundhog's Day
John the Fisherman
Too Many Puppies
Jerry Was a Race Car Driver
Wynona's Big Brown Beaver

[army_of_me]

I accept your proposal, sir.

[Oscar-Rio]

my ultimate Primus 3-pack would be.

John the Fisherman (only because it would sell pretty well)
My Name is Mud (would love to see what they do with the bass slapping in this one)
Bob

[drtacks]

I'm confused... Why are there no Primus songs on RB?

If there is no Primus in RB, the terrorists have won.

[supernova1324]

My Primus six pack:

To Defy the Laws of Tradition
Tommy the Cat
Jerry was a Race Car Driver
Sgt. Baker
Mr.Knowitall
My Name is Mud

[Ultimatum]

Some Southbound Pachyderm would be awesome.

[djmojave]

Obviously, it would be great if you got the most popular Primus songs, but honestly, any Primus is better than no Primus.

Primus sucks! <-- That means I'm a fan, if you're confused.

[machchunk]

Bump or die, mother****ers.

[Snitsky]

I am absolutley shocked to see 298 votes in favor of a comedy band

Are you braindead? So they wrote songs with stories. And? They also wrote songs about war, government tyranny, workers' rights, and bullying.

[Ultimatum]

I am absolutley shocked to see 298 votes in favor of a comedy band

Why is that surprising?

The music's great and Claypool has actually written some protest songs and political songs.

[Nuff_Said]

I am absolutley shocked to see 298 votes in favor of a comedy band

That is stupid. You just love openly proving your lack of knowledge on just about everything music related on these forums, don't you? Good work.

[BlackwaterPark]

I'd like to see Electric Uncle Sam.

[Psychoacoustic]

I listened to a few Primus songs last night, and I agree they would be pretty epic. I'd take Tommy and Jerry at the very least.

[jayou521]

I don't know that many songs, but I'd like to see "Jerry Was A Race Car Driver" along with other songs, since they sound cool.

[kitsunegames]

I don't know exactly how well these songs would fit in Rock Band, I have a hard time telling the bass from regular guitar, but here's my vote list:

Welcome To This World
Bob
Nature Boy
Here Come The Bastards
American Life
Jerry Was A Race Car Driver
Those Damned Blue-Collar Tweekers
Mrs. Blaileen
Glass Sandwich
Del Davis Tree Farm
Over The Electric Grapevine

[bk69metal]

Groundhog's Day!!!!!!!!!!

[Seligsuper]

Forget that! I want the whole "Seas of Cheese" album!!

[destruction3402]

I would like some Primus:

American Life
Jerry Was A Race Car Driver
My Name is Mud
Those Damned Blue-Collar Tweekers
Tommy the Cat

[wreckem279]

I think Mephisto and Kevin would be hilarious to sing.

So these songs would be cool.

The Ballad Of Bodacious
Jerry Was A Race Car Driver
Mr. Knowitall
Here Come The Bastards
My Name Is Mud
Mephisto and Kevin
Tommy The Cat

I think Wynona or Tommy The Cat should be on disk. Whichever one isn't would be in the six pack.

[Sweetsamara]

Jerry Was A Race Car Driver!!!:D

[fatality2x]

Jerry Was A Racecar Driver
My Name Is Mud
Tommy The Cat

Primus Sucks

[AcidReflux]

I would love to have these five songs by Primus on Rock Band:


Too Many Puppies
My Name is Mud
Tommy the Cat
Poetry and Prose
Wynonna's Big Brown Beaver

[ElMartillo]

I'd take all of em except John the Fisherman. I hate that song >.>

[IIxMadManxII]

I want to play Jerry was a Race Car Driver. That song has a kick ass bass and drum line.

[Lady Siara]

Bring on the Primus!

[Pescaran Death Machine]

Les is More kids.

[FleaSlapper]

My three picks:

Professor Nutbutter's House of Treats - those drum fills are to die for!
The Heckler - the bonus track from Antipop. The live version was ok, but the studio version straight up kicks ass
Groundhog's Day - awesome song on every instrument, and it would be a blast to sing

[neger-katten]

Too Many Puppies
Mr. Knowitall
Frizzle Fry
John The Fisherman
Harold Of The Rocks
My Name Is Mud
Golden Boy
Over The Falls
Shake Hands With Beef
Bob's Party Time Lounge
The Chastising Of Renegade
Scissor Man
Tommy The Cat
Wynona's Big Brown Beaver
Southbound Pachyderm
Jerry Was A Racecar Driver
Over The Electric Grapevine

[Delta-9]

Any Primus would be okay with me. I'd like to see a Primus box set with a Carl Thompson bass with a whammy bar. Rockband better snatch them up now before they make Bass Hero: Primus.

[TonyDanzaTapdanceBonanza]

This would be my Primus Pack:

Wynona's Big Brown Beaver (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aYDfwUJzYQg)
Tommy the Cat (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4OhIU-PmB8)
Is It Luck? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p5cOqCjInYI)
Southbound Pachyderm (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xb898sQtu8)

[LegendofRock3021]

In addition to the songs I listed in my second post in this thread, these songs would be great:

"Bob"
"DMV"
"Eleven"
"Frizzle Fry"
"Is It Luck?"
"Mr. Knowitall"
"My Name is Mud"
"Sgt. Baker"
"Southbound Pachyderm"
"Wynona's Big Brown Beaver"

[joescorpion]

Primus!!!!!

[Razorhoof78]

Primus would be nuts. We need this.

[Chowdah]

Primus sucks
Primus sucks
Primus sucks

Three times or you are just faking

As for songs, I cannot belive that after reading this entire thread I am only the third person to say Eleven. You need Tommy the Cat, Jerry Was a Race Car Driver and Wynnona's Big Brown Beaver, but the Fisherman Cronicals is a must IMHO. Also even if they are are covers, Have a Cigar and The Devil Went Down to Georgia because Primus' verions of these songs SUCK

and as far as all the "Bassists LOVE and Drummers LOVE" as a IRL guitarist, Primus is awesome to play

[jayou521]

I'd most likely pick up any of their more funky sounding songs.

Especially would like to see Jerry Was A Race Car Driver and Tommy The Cat

[Soupiertiger]

I cannot believe Primus is not on Rock Band. They are one of first ever bands to be a non-bonus track master track, and they definitely deserve it now. Even if it was just Josh the Fisherman again, Primus definitely deserves some time in the Rock Band limelight.

[Ferocious Q]

John The Fisherman
Wynonas Big Brown Beaver
Tommy The Cat
Jerry Was A Racecar Driver (should be on RB3 IMO)

[Tsunetomo]

Primus would be so much fun to play and make people WANT to be on bass.

[wafflerevolution]

Wynona's Big Brown Beaver and My Name is Mud... I would buy.

[nsechoes]

Professor Nutbutter's House of Treats & Speghetti Western, please.

[FatBabyHopkins]

my name is mud, jerry was a racecar driver

[rocker820]

Primus has the sickest bassist in music today, better than Flea, better than Robert Trujilo, better than that guy in Dream Theater, the best.

And their drummer is pretty good as well

[DEADCOP-ONaROPE]

I'm just in utter disbelief that there isn't any Primus on RB....after all the bs that they've already put out.....Rock Band: Primus would be possible if it wasn't so cliche.

[exploder]

south park theme!

[exploder]

I am absolutley shocked to see 298 votes in favor of a comedy band

so you like almost easy,down with the sickness,and chop suey im guessing?

[exploder]

why is everyone saying primus sucks and then they say that they want primus or vice-versa

[D1sturb3d]

Robot Chicken or The Devil Went Down To Georgia would be fun songs on a bass

[Creeps]

Wynona's Big Brown Beaver, My Name Is Mud (can't ever get that song out of m y head), Jerry was a racecar driver.

[Ehfahq]

Give me some Toys go Winding down, South Bound Pacaderm......anything from Cheese.

Anything at all.

Primus sucks!

[ROCKBANDFANATIC7526]

I was just saying how no Primus is really disheartening!

[darrekmis95]

Primus sucks!!!! But I would want to see anything by them, especially from Sailing The Seas Of Cheese.

[elitemastersam]

I'd buy Jerry Was a Racecar Driver.

Primus sucks.

[jimmydaniels]

Eleven
Professor Nutbutter's House of Treats
Greet the Sacred Cow
I second the motion of Harold of the Rocks
Why the hell hasn't Harmonix put any Primus in Rock Band? I know for a fact that they can get the masters cause they got John the Fisherman way back on GH2, they could just be lazy and put that in and I'd be content.

[Alvarado6411]

Showing my support for any Primus. It's about time the came back to the rhythm game genre

[kangaroo62]

Primus needs to be on RB. Especially with pro bass.
My six pack

Tommy the Cat
Wynona's Big Brown Beaver

[ROCKBANDFANATIC7526]

Thanks HMX for getting Primus on disk :D

[Pescaran Death Machine]

I never thought that my favorite song by my favorite band would ever be on disc, thank you HMX for Jerry Was A Race Car Driver.

[LegendofRock3021]

Great that Primus is in RB3! I'm gonna try to get it when the price of the game disk goes down.

anyway, I hope these songs are added as DLC:
Frizzle Fry
John The Fisherman
Pork Soda
South Park Theme
To Defy The Laws Of Tradition
Welcome To This World

[TheManandPaChow]

....But if not please let's have some
Groundhogs Day
Frizzle Fry (the whole album, and/or the song)
Fish On (Greatest Bass Solos of All Time)

[Hellwyrm20]

Hmm. For the last year I was expecting that we'd be getting Primus DLC. Hopefully it comes soon enough. We'd like to see a six pack, but I bet alot of us would be happy with a three pack. I'm sure many will agree that Primus should be released to teach people about this awesome band. Anyway, here's a six pack that would most likely be seen as DLC and a six pack of songs that I would like to see.

Singles Six Pack:
"John the Fisherman"
"Tommy the Cat"
"Lacquer Head"
"Wynona's Big Brown Beaver"
"Shakes Hands With Beef
"Tragedy's a Comin'"

Personal Preferences Six Pack:
"To Defy the Laws of Tradition"
"Harold of the Rocks"
"Those Damn Blue-Collar Tweekers"
"Ballad of Bodacious"
"Lee Van Cleef"
"Moron TV"

I'd be happy for even a single and a 3-pack would be amazing.

Nice and interesting selections from you. Here's my preferences for a six pack:
"To Defy the Laws of Tradition"
"Here Come the Bastards"
"American Life"
"Tommy the Cat"
"DMV"
"Southbound Pachyderm"

[wafflerevolution]

we should get some.... they were happy to join the plastic instruments cause when it started...

[Gamer1270]

Harmonix should release more South Park songs, such as the theme song that Primus did.

[wafflerevolution]

south park has lost as much popularity as rock band has... so it's doubtful...

[Madhafaca]

Any combination of songs, personally I'd buy EVERY pack or album that is put out. We seriously need more Primus in RB!

[wafflerevolution]

I agree.
