Has anybody else noticed this? I just learned how to play "Elephant Talk" on bass (yes I know it's on a Stick) and it sounds like Primus's "Jerry Was a Racecar Driver." I have heard Claypool say that they're a blatant King Crimson rip off, and it shows (not a bad thing.) The 2 diminished chords that are tapped up high in JWARCD are the same exact notes tapped in ET. Silly Les!

The structure is similar.

Pretty good IMO, they sound just like King Crimson. I didn't know Les was that influenced by Levin, I know he's a big Rush fan, but I never heard anything about him and Crimson (except of course for that cover).

SOMEBODY SEND ME IT!
But yeah I have heard Les say that Primus is a blatant King Crimson ripoff.
