2024 Year in Review<\/strong><\/a>:<\/strong> What do you do when you get to the venue but your gear has been delayed in transit? Unless you\u2019re able to borrow what you need from another band, you\u2019ll probably have to visit the nearest guitar shop.<\/p>\n

Which is precisely what Primus did when they arrived to play Sick New World Festival in April<\/a>, with their equipment running late due to extreme weather.<\/p>\n

Maybe some bands would have struggled without their tried-and-tested tools, but not Primus, with fans commenting how the California trio sounded as good as ever come stage time.<\/p>\n

\u201cJust further proof that the gear doesn\u2019t matter when you have the skills to pay the bills,\u201d one person noted, with another fan agreeing how \u201cLes sounds like Les on any bass<\/a>\u201d and declaring their love for how \u201che kept the tags on.\u201d<\/p>\n
