Primus

Guitar players, a drummer, a singer and a keyboard player.

Yeah, Primus has too much bass, I would say.

Yeah, Red Hot Chili Peppers, not a real band.

Did you know that? Right, right.

I mean, Scaler's crowd could not be fairly to-

Were they were against Primus, or is it even worse?

Well, they could not be-

Scaler was against Primus.

All right, Scaler against Pri- you could not look at their crowd fairly comparable to everyone else who played the stage that day if you're against Primus or whoever played against Marriner, Master Boot Record.

Yeah, but the thing is, what you're not trying to do, I think you should always avoid trying to book the perfect lineup or, or think that there is a right answer to what the lineup should be.

There's not a right answer to what the lineup should be.

That's just socials.

There's this all this type of music that I hate.

And it's like I will walk 500 miles and it's, you know, Primus.

And she named a bunch of bands that in my head I had never I had never thought of.

as having any connection to one another.

Like there is this certain kind of circusy lightness, like kind of comedy tone of music.

And it exists on a continuum.

And I think like, Weird Al is probably on one end of the continuum and Frank Zappa is somewhere on it and Primus is, and they might be giants is, and, and I think bear and like Ben folds five, I think is somewhere on it.

And I think bare naked ladies is part of that kind of genre of, of music.

Yeah, it's a badass tune.

So one of those, I know it's a little bit of a bummer, but it's also one of those got to give some love to the people who, you know, helped really spawn a generation of metal lovers, right? Like some of those songs, I still have people saying all the time, like, oh, this Avenged Sevenfold song, or hey, you know, this Primus song, whichever one it might be in one of these games.

I've seen members even of our own stage tour team, like on the charting side, saying like, man, I remember playing this song in gh2 you know how much that made an effect on them and um at least one person saying they didn't know where they'd be musically without that tune so i know there's got to be more out there much love to andy's uh friends and family

Yeah, it's kind of crazy seeing the effect of even just one song.

Um, like finding our new guitar player, Nick Johnston, for example.

He kind of came into our life and fell right into our lap, and it was definitely something like, you know, o- of fate and, like, these stars aligned and, and we didn't have to search the world for a, a guitar player or audition 6,000 people like Primus did, you know? [laughs] Or have submissions for over 6,000 people or...

You know, we would have done whatever it took.

W- if it took two months or two years to find the right person, we would have.
