Screw you guys, I'm going home

One of hard rock’s longest-running acts is suddenly looking for a new drummer.

Primus announced on Tuesday that Tim “Herb” Alexander quit the band “effective immediately” via email to bandmates Les Claypool and Larry LaLonde.

“It came as a complete shock to all of us here in the Primus camp,” the band said in a social media post.

      I don't think I've ever heard a single one of their songs. I know I've never bought any of their albums.

      Primus is awesome, Les Claypool is one of the best bass guitarists in the world. He tried out for Metallica as a joke and they said he was too crazy.

      I knew someone who liked Primus a quarter-century ago, but the only tune I remember by them is the South Park theme song.

      One of the best concerts I have ever been to was Primus. Amazing musicians but Les has gone pretty far left as he has gotten older. More money = more separation from reality.

      An amazing bassist, but I'm not really a fan of their music- I thought the video of Wynona's Big Brown Beaver was entertaining in a bizarre way-

      Isn’t Primus Latin for Fluffer?

    They go through drummers. Their music is not that good.

    the video for wynonna's big brown beaver was sort of unique.
    Not my first choice for a band to listen to, but certainly not a Never.

      Wouldn't call it high Art, but if you can make a living & have fun playing, why not?

    They should audition Jerome Dillon, former NIN drummer. The guy is a human metronome with great chops.
