Primus might seem like an odd choice for a band as extreme and evil as Slayer, but the band has performed together in the past as part of various festivals and package tours, including Ozzfest '99.
Also in the podcast, Les went on to discuss buying weed in high school...from Metallica's Kirk Hammett. "Kirk was in my algebra class with Mr. Kelly. Kirk had this dirty white t-shirt with big thick pop bottle glasses and he sat behind me divvying up dimebags and looking at guitar magazines. I remember, cause I would always be singing these songs and he would be like ‘Hey, Claypool, hey man, you want to come sing for my band?’ And I was too bashful to sing. I can barely sing now. So when it came down to it I couldn’t do it.”
