Watch Primus Perform Rush’s ‘A Farewell To Kings’ Album At Tour Opener In Idaho
Thanks! Can't say Geddy's vocals have ever been a highlight, but these songs just don't sound right without him.
overall i wasn't particularly impressed with primus' take on the rush classic. seemed a tad sloppy at times (vs. how locked in rush always was live), and the vocals... yeah, just doesn't fit. claypool doesn't have that great a singing voice and his vocals have always been more spoken/rap that sung, so the melodic stuff doesn't sound natural (i.e. good).
to be fair this was their first show so i'd expect their performance to improve, but i'm now feeling a tad less sad that i'll be missing their show here on saturday (was already not going due to delta).
