Les Claypool

Postby Naix » Sun Jul 09, 2006 4:13 pm

Has anyone had the opportunity to see this guy live?

I just did last night down here in florida (st. petersburg) and was suprised at how talented he is :shock:

All in all, he used about 5 different bass-related instruments, not sure what they are called but it was crazy.

Only thing that i can say was bad about it was that security was non-existant, so everyone around you was getting high and blowing the fucking smoke in your face. :)

It wasnt a huge venue, but cool seeing someone play the bass that well.
World War III will be fought using atomic weapons, the war after that will be fought using sticks and stones.

Ya man he introduced better thumping to a great many metal lovers who didn't know the bass was more than just a background instrument. Now that your bass interest is peaked... look at what can be done on the next level. Of course Geddy Lee from Rush and Chris Squire from Yes had been opening eyes up for many years too.

This is victor wooten doing when the saints go marching in.

I saw Primus in Saratoga Springs a few miles from my house here and he rocks. I am not sure if it was true but I heard that Les and Getty were fishing somewhere and almost went down when a big storm rolled in. That would have been a loss.

I find that if you put a corn cob pipe in your mouth when listening to primus it makes more sense. :twisted:
