Thanks very much for the link, I’d never heard the anecdotes about the song before.
I find the cover equally great. I think there’s a ton of covers on Spotify of the song as well.

Schwim Dandy@lemmy.zipOPto Connect A Song@lemmy.world•Primus - Devil Went Down to GeorgiaEnglish2·2 天前I feel we’re beating a dead horse here but yes, you’re asking too much if you expect the entire world to stop sharing a joke that harms nobody because you don’t like it. That is simply not how the world works.

In this situation, however, nothing will change because of your dislike. The decades of the joke will remain and people will continue to use the phrase.

Schwim Dandy@lemmy.zipOPto Connect A Song@lemmy.world•Primus - Devil Went Down to GeorgiaEnglish2·2 天前I think there’s a pass in effect when the band itself started the catch phrase. It’s just a funny little tongue-in-cheek joke between the band and fans.
In December 1989, Primus recorded their first studio album: Frizzle Fry, which the band self-funded with the profits from sales of Suck on This.[11][18] In 1990, the band signed a one-album deal with Caroline Records to release Frizzle Fry on condition that Caroline also obtained the rights to reissue Suck on This.[13][19] The band then spent the year touring North America and Europe in support of bands such as 24-7 Spyz, the Pixies and Jane’s Addiction,[21] and soon attracted attention from a number of major record labels.[9][13][18] They signed to Interscope Records in 1991.[11][13][19]
It was during these early years that the band developed their iconic catchphrase “Primus sucks”.[11][22] According to Claypool, this began as fans of the band would compliment them, and Claypool would reply “Nah, we suck”.[11] The band then started introducing themselves on stage by saying “We’re Primus, and we suck”,[19] and fans quickly adopted the phrase, shouting “Primus sucks” at the group as a sign of affection.[11][13] Audiences also began chanting the phrase at the band’s concerts, both before the start of the show and as a call for an encore.[19][22] The band embraced it and began printing and selling t-shirts with “Primus sucks” written on them.[19][22] Claypool, talking about the phrase, said “I think it’s the greatest thing […] somebody can come right up to me and say, ‘You guys really suck.’ And I would just take it as a compliment.”[19]

As Youtube makes changes solely to break these players, they are quick to jump through the new hoops.
Without context, the image isn’t that impressive. If nothing XP-related actually works and it’s just a display exercise, it’s just a 20-something year old skin import.
If absolutely everything works in the manner XP worked, then it’s incredibly impressive.
