are primus just a rip off of the residents?
"no."
No...
Does OP leech off of other people for ideas/everything
No,but to say they weren't influenced by them would be wrong as well.
Les Claypool addresses this in the Residents documentary
The Residents was/is a good-natured scam based on heavy handed criticism about the intersection of art as art, and art as a product.
Primus is a rock band that can actually play fucking instruments.
I don't see the comparison, honestly.
They did a residents cover on frizzle fry but they are no where near ripping them off how do you come to that conclusion
