I seem to remember him saying he played DB in his high school jazz band doing Glenn Miller type stuff.

I just played with a good friend in Chicago, a drummer having an early mid-life crisis. He went out and got all the old Primus albums and was blasting them in the car.
Actually most of it held up pretty good. It got a little repetitive at times but they were really original.
I used to see them all the time back in the day, but fIREHOSE would open and Claypool just seems too slick and lifeless after seeing just Mike Watt go the f___ off before hand.
I never got to appreciate them on their own back then so it was nice to hear so much of their music this weekend.

It was a great kick to watch Mike Watt with Iggy and the Stooges on this past week's episode of "The Henry Rollins Show". He just looks like he's about to explode most of the time.
