Guitar Meets Science delivers a fun, fast-paced history of Primus, the band that refused to fit any mold. Les Claypool—a carpenter in a blonde mohawk and mismatched shoes—got kicked out of a Metallica audition for being “too weird,” then built a career on bizarre funk-metal bass riffs, underground tapes, and sheer oddity. The band sold records out of car trunks, turned crowd chants of “We Suck” into a badge of honor, headlined Lollapalooza, stole the show at Woodstock ’94 (mud and all), and scored the South Park theme for $74 and a VHS tape—proving that staying unapologetically strange can still conquer the music industry.
