SteveXFR Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 I love Rush but just can't be dealing with Claypool's bass and vocals. Will he turn the Rush songs in to his usual slapfest? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't hear any slap either. Btw I didn't post it here because of spoilers but if anyone's interested there's a entire set from this tour up on Youtube. No idea if it's watchable quality though.

And haven't seen Primus since stumbling across their gig at the Paradiso in Amsterdam in 1990, having gone there to see Urban Dance Squad at the Melkweg the night before. Proper trip out that was!

Yeah,like when Rush did covers Primus have released covers in the past Geddys change in style with his right hand was down to Les ,that percussive fanning he did with his fingers Edited March 23, 2022 by jazzmanb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzz Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 So, is this tour Primus pretty much playing Rush? I wouldn't mind seeing Primus as Primus, but from the videos I've seen, there's Rush tribute bands out there doing a better job... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming they adopt the same format as previously for this tour (and nothing suggests they won’t from what I’ve seen) it’ll be two sets - first set original Primus, second set Farewell… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Misdee Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 I saw Primus opening for Rush about thirty years ago. I suppose doing a Rush tribute show is a new way for them to parade their offbeat approach to life, for better or worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
