I recently started playing bass, and I heard more and more about Les Claypool and Primus, so I decide to check them out via YouTube. I actually really like it, its very different. But, looking at the comments, half of them are something like "PRIMUS SUCKS, HELL YEAH!" or "PRIMUS STILL SUCKEN" and I'm just wondering why people hate them so much. Are they jerks? I've just never seen this many people hating on a band.

However, I might not be 100% right about that. |

Primus Sucks!  |

But yeah, the "Primus sucks" thing is an in-joke. |

| | | | The theory is something along the lines of if we all keep saying Primus sucks they wont ever become too mainstream or commercial therefor stopping making good music.
Or something like that.
But hell yeah, Primus sucks!

| | | | Primus Sucks, why they did that who knows?
One of the most original bands ever. Larry is one of the coolest guitarist who gets little recognition. |

It was during these early years that the catch phrase "Primus Sucks" started. It began with people constantly stating to the band just how good they were. One day when someone told the band they were good, Claypool turned around and said "No, we suck" and from then on it stuck.
