If Primus didn't have an insane bassist such as Les Claypool and had just an average bassist, would you still listen to Primus? |

If Primus didn't have some interesting basswork I'd have no reason to listen to them, as I fidnd a lot of their songs to be rather naff, as in, lacking any great ideas. |

Les is the reason I started listening to Primus tbh.
Tommy the Cat ftw. |

Primus, and Claypool, started and ended with "Sailing the Seas of Cheese." Anything after that. . .
Carrots.

Basically, if Primus did not have Claypool, Claypool would have about six side projects, but none of them would be as good as Primus.

Tim and Ler are among the best musicians out there and would do well in any other band, but I'm sure even they would agree without Les on the bass and his quirky creative style, there would be no Primus.

On the other hand, if they had a vocalist who did Psychotic Southern Vaudevillean as well as Les, they might still be good for a laugh.
