Primus is all about Les Claypool; there isn't a moment on any of their records where his bass isn't the main focal point of the music, with his vocals acting as a bizarre side-show.

Les Claypool at War Memorial Auditorium
Primus' oddball fusion of funk, metal and humor was certainly not for everyone. However, given that they were the only band in music history to have appeared on the Lollapalooza , Ozzfest , H.O.R.D.E. and Family Values tours, it's safe to say that they had a uniquely broad appeal.
