Quotes:
Well, it's better than digging a ditch is one of the good things about it. I would've never thought that you would have to do it 24 hours a day.
-Larry "Ler" LaLonde

This is it pretty much it. (Larry started playing guitar at twelve, and was in the band Possessed since his last year in high school. He than joined Primus.)
-Larry "Ler" LaLonde

My 21st. I went to Reno to see Metallica and Faith No More, and just went crazy all night.
-Larry "Ler" LaLonde

Oh I'm sure there's a few that stick out now and then, but it's a very relative thing. Some songs have become popular and you play them and play them because people want to hear them and you get a little tired of them. so you let them sit for a while and then some time goes by and - well, like we just worked up some songs that we used to play a lot and we hadn't played in ages and now it's fun to play them again.
-Les Claypool

We don't own this bus. We rent it. It's less of a headache because if you own it, you have to deal with the maintainence. And then when you're not touring, what do you do with it? We had a motor home on our first couple of tours. It was a nice motor home when we started. It wasn't afterwards. It was like it wasn't even the same motor home when we were done with it.
-Les Claypool
