It seems like everyone on here loves Primus. I, in particular, really don't like them. Are there any other bassists who don't like Primus?   |

| | | | I don't like them. But I do appreciate the skill and originality that Les brings to the instrument. Just not my taste. |

Amusing, impressive technically, but it's like some critical ingredient was left out leaving it "not to my taste". |

|  | A figment of our exaggeration | | Join Date: Aug 2007 Location: Way Out West | | | I too saw them open for Rush on their "Roll The Bones" tour.
It was the first i'd heared of them. Didnt care for them - too quirky for me. His "vocal" approach didnt appeal to me either.
But I do acknowledge Les has the skills. |

But not exquisite |

| | | | Not my thing and Les is not my type of bass player. Nothing against them. Just my personal preference.

| | | | I appreciate their skills and originality, but I don't find their music enjoyable. Some of it is fun, but even the most melodic songs are somewhat grating.
