Claypool
 

Les claypool the origonal bass virtuoso, Primus, Frog Brigade, Oyster head. man he can play the bass.

Hell yeah, Primus are one of the most original bands out there, they are really unique, dont belong to any catagory persay, but i could call them Funky Prog Metal Bluegrass Polka, and yes i just made that up. =)

i love primus... and that dude is an inspiration, better than stu hamm in my opinion...

I'm glad someone finally made a thread about all of the projects of Claypool. I'm a fan of everything off of Prawn Song Records...with the exception of Gabby La La. I haven't really listened to enough of her stuff to have a good perception of the music. I just ordered LCFB's Purple Onion, which should be awesome.

and if you haven't heard Eyball in the sky.... man, Claypool with Buckethead, what could be any better?

Anybody buy Of Whales and Woe by the Les Claypool fancy band? I really like it. Les plays drums on a lot of the tracks, which is interesting.

Love Primus.

It annoys me when when people bash Les Claypool simply because they don't like Primus, the guy has been in a handful of different bands... Not just Primus.

I love everything he's done. Amazing.

I hate Claypool. Dont get me wrong, fantastically skilled, just doesnt do it for me. Takes more than just talent to be a great bass player in my eyes...

Oh i got ya, attitude, every bassist needs attitude... Like this guy.

^That OWNS.

Claypool is a great bassist, he's got skill and showmanship. And he makes it look damn easy. His vocals are wierd but they have an aquired taste (I like them alot). I <3 Primus

^ But But..leviathn ... eh.. I got Eyeball In the Sky which falls nothing short of amazing.

Les is amazing and I wish I could do somethings on guitar that he does on bass.

^ ermm well its kinda not the same.

Yeah, that's half of the genius of it. Loads of people have messed around with a guitar, but the bass lines he comes up with...

I reciently recieved The Sane Asylum by Blind Illusion, Les Claypool was in it. Check it out. http://www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=684

I've only heard Claypool in primus, but I think he's a brilliant bassist, and primus are very good.

Oysterhead are an extremely bizzare band, you would have to be totally tripping balls to really get into them.

it is a really great album, the production is rather thin, but they are excellent
progressive thrash

i wish they would reissue this cd, since it is out of print
