Primus to cover Rush's 'A Farewell To Kings' in its entirety on tour
Posted on by HighRoad Staff
In a statement, Primus bandleader Les Claypool had the following to say on his band's admiration for Rush:
"Geddy, Alex and Neil had been superheroes to Larry, Herb and I in our teens," Claypool recalled in a statement. "So when we all became pals while touring together in the early 90's, we were pretty delighted; partially because of the musical geek-out factor, but mostly because the three guys whom we had admired so much from afar, turned out to be truly great, down-to-earth humans, and like us, a tad eccentric."
