‘JUST BE A GOOD HUMAN’ Hoodies and More, Enter Promo Code ‘Jamel’

I could watch Les Claypool with you all day. Love and support to you from this really old Primus fan.

I was at this show. It’s Bonnaroo 2002. Blazing heat first day of the festival. The of this solo hits and a jam kicks back in. The energy in that field was the strongest I’ve ever felt ever. It was the birth my music industry career that day. Moved home, enrolled in college shortly after and started putting on my own concerts. The solo means more to me than anyone. It was the catalyst for my whole adult life.

Les Claypool is the only bass player I can recall that has a whammy bar on his basses. On my my top 3 favorite bassists.

Gonna constantly post this request to get Jamel to watch two minutes to late nights cover of "Anthem" by RUSH. It's Les Claypool, Danny Carey, Claudio Sanchez from Coheed, and Cambria Bill Kelliher of Mastodon, and the host and showband guitarist for two minutes. Talk about a 99.999% flawless cover of any cover ever heard. I can't suggest this song vehemently enough.

Oh yes! This was Col. Claypool's Fearless Flying Frog Brigade performing a cover of King Crimson's "Thela Hun Ginjeet." This was at the first annual Bonnaroo Music Festival 2002! I was there! Later that weekend Les performs in another amazingly crazy band lineup - Col. Claypool's Bucket Of Bernie Brains: Les, Buckethead, Bernie Worrell and Brain! That was some freaky funky stuff going down! Whew! There is a DVD set of the first Bonnaroo Music Festival out there! PEACE!

Hes so Funky in his playing love it reminds me of old school funk ,also like fleas bass playing from the chilly peppers as well ,Funk a Delics were Pioneers!!!

Les Claypool on bass is a revelation and joy.

I’ll never forget seeing Les and Primus for the first time some 30 something years ago. I thought now this is my kinda dude and damn can he play that bass!!

Last Salmon Man is one of my favorite Primus songs, worth a listen.

Primus doing Rush Xanadu is Les at his best and closest to my heart as a Rush fan its even better than legends Dream Theatres version IMO and I seen em all live Les Claypool is a bonafide Badass & Bassist

This is from the first Bonnaroo in 2002. I was in that crowd!

Whoa! Getting close to a Million! Awesome Jamal!

Les is an absolute bass genius and innovator. ❤️❤️❤️

Hey Jamel, I'm a big fan. I'm from BC, Canada. Specifically Richmond in southwest BC. i would like to suggest a and called UFO they are British band from the late 70's and 80's. i found about them from XM radio. They are a fantastic hard rock band that is very underrated. you can find many videos on youtube both live and studio. P.S. every day I'm trying to be a good human.

That man is a musical genius awesome video

He's the only musician I know of that uses whammy bars on BASSES!!

I thought so, as soon as he started playing that line near the end. You GOTTA check out King Crimson's 'Thela Hun Jingeet' now, asap, brother J, studio AND live, with the great Tony Levin, whether on bass or Chapman stick ( a 10 string instrument, bass in the middle of the pack, fretted with both hands).

Can you imagine him in Metallica? He auditioned after Burton's death. They're all from the Bay Area.

I've said it before.This show is a classic.I learn something new all the time on this show.Keep it rollin'!
