Watch members of Metallica, Tool, Green Day & more join Primus at the Bass Magazine Awards

Primus with Robert Trujillo

Bass Magazine celebrated all things bass at their annual awards on Thursday night (1/23), which happened at The Observatory in Santa Ana. Les Claypool was one of the evening’s honorees, and he performed with Primus, who had a few special guests on hand for the occasion. They brought out Green Day‘s Mike Dirnt and Tool‘s Justin Chancellor for “Too Many Puppies,” Metallica‘s Robert Trujillo for “My Name is Mud,” and Marcus Miller for “Tommy the Cat.” Watch attendee-taken video below.

Dirnt was billed as performing with “very special guests,” which wound up being Green Day, playing their second show of the year (following their ALTer EGO set on Saturday where they spoke in support of Minneapolis amidst ICE’s occupation of the city). Marcus Miller also performed, as did Khruangbin (not Tool or Metallica, though).

Primus also just announced their “Claypool Gold” tour with Claypool Lennon Delirium and Les Claypool’s Fearless Flying Frog Brigade. See all dates below.
