My Take
Larry LaLonde is exactly my kind of guitarist. Since 1989 he's been Primus's sonic foil to Les Claypool's deranged bass, answering it with experimental, rule-bending playing that few others would dare to commit to. His roots in Possessed and Blind Illusion reveal a deeper, metal-trained vocabulary lurking under all that weirdness. What I value most is his conviction: plenty of players are technically clean, but having the nerve to make genuinely strange sounds and own them is rare. He bends the grammar of rock on purpose, and that deliberate oddness makes him one of a kind.
