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

[@e.jamesshepard7183]

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.

[@roncypert8255]

Claudio Sanchez can SHRED! He writes some fantastic alt/prog music too!

[@davidkidd4106]

That cover sucks. Have some taste.

[@e.jamesshepard7183]

@@mmarney93 jamel has stated in the past that he wont do anything with a link due to problems with links somtimes get sent with viruses.

[@jglasernyc]

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.

[@badroto2413]

You need to check out Jon Gallagher of Raven. One of the best bassists you've never heard of.

[@bennytucker8422]

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.

[@MARK5-FX]

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!

[@jbranum3087]

Tony from king crimson is an underrated bass player. He made peter Gabriels so album so much more than it would have been.

[@risksrewardsrelics51]

This is from the first Bonnaroo in 2002. I was in that crowd! He also played another amazing set that weekend with Buckethead and Bernie Worrell (of Parliament Funkadelic). I definitely recommend checking that one out!

[@nathanweiss5174]

A great ERA for Les Has anyone told Jamel about Les and the Frog Brigade covering Pink Floyd... he'd probably like that.

[@faithnyou1732]

My Son was at Bonnaroo in 2002, as well!

[@jakespenart]

I was there!!

[@ryanallen1346]

I was there too, this brings me back! Buddies and I worked our way up real close to the front for this show. Bonnaroo was so amazing in those early years before it went so mainstream.

[@tst4783]

Les Claypool on bass is a revelation and joy.

[@joemcgraw5529]

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!!!

[@gorey4more837]

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

[@brianjohnston5325]

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!!

[@Rudystone1970]

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

[@lancerx1759]

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

[@unclebucky4115]

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. Peace and love 😍

[@cabsbass]

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

[@jeffreyragsdale3569]

Les is definitely a character. He has a very unique style using flick and slap techniques. Have you checked out his Duo De Twang version of Staying Alive? Classic.

[@damonhines8187]

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't recall if or when I've seen a bass with a whammy bar before, though he didn't appear to use it here. I gotta check out more Lennon/Claypool Delirium too, and I saw some great stuff not long ago with Sean (Lennon) and Tal Wakenfield, who played great bass with Jeff Beck for years. So much music, so little time, luv ya, man, all the best, Peace and Love.

[@tommc4916]

ANYTHING from the 1980s incarnation of KC. Tony Levin is a freakin' GENIUS on the bass and Chapman Stick

[@tommc4916]

@@damonhines8187 There's a live performance of "Elephant Talk" from the old ABC program "Fridays" (their reply to NBC's SNL), but it's just the studio track playing with the band mimicking playing their instruments. I was a high school kid about to graduate when it aired and I was SPELLBOUND. Check it out for three things: Levin on the Stick at the beginning Belew's pink suit Fripp actually SMILES 😳

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

[@jennieshively3187]

Les is Everything!

[@bmac1205]

Whoa! Getting close to a Million! Awesome Jamal!

[@plasticoflamingo2952]

Claypool is one-of-a-kind, for sure. You might, also, check out Ryan Martinie, with the band Soften The Glare (Mudvayne, too. but he doesn't get to show out as much). He's another bass player who goes beyond what you would expect from a bass player.

[@notajp]

Les reminds me so much of Ian Anderson with his on stage antics. I have to wonder just how heavy the callouses on the the fingertips of his right hand are tho……

[@russellhoyt588]

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

[@Easy_Skanking]

Billy Sheehan did for a while. He's another monster bass player.

[@jamestate5059]

You need to hear Billy Sheehan base solos. He is the Eddie Van Halen of bass

[@nathanboyd3179]

You definitely need to react to Mark King from the group Level 42 for another amazing bassist. Start with Love Games Live SVT 1983.

[@JoyfulOrb]

So great! Such a marvel!

[@jjr007]

You should do some more Victor Wooten with Bela Fleck and the Flectones "Flight of the Cosmic Hippo" for one, and "Blu-bop" for another.

[@marksherrick]

Lets let him warm up to the Amazing Grace bass solo.....

[@valogden]

Check out this 12 year old kid Taj Farrant. He was awarded prodigy of the year and is supposed to be back performing at NAMM this year. He is the youngest guitar player ever to be signed by Gibson guitar. He has his own single Just Can't Sleep or you can find multiple videos on his channel of him singing and or just playing guitar. He's amazing!!!

[@noisecrack]

love your content and your vibe. 🤙🏼

[@brettmarlar4154]

You should check pit the entire performance of that song. It's a cover of King Crimson's "Theala Hun Ginjeet".

[@joycedoull7275]

The best that's ever been !

[@mslillian4232]

I love your attitude I love your videos and I definitely have a lot of the same similar interests and opinions that you do thank you so much for this channel

[@RH-xs8gz]

In 1991 I was a young aspiring bass player. I heard rumors about this crazy guy the played bass like no one else. So I went out and bought Sailing the Seas of Cheese. The first time I heard Tommy the Cat I almost quit playing bass right then and there. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. This dude sounded like he had ten fingers and three thumbs on each hand. Luckily instead of quitting, I decided to be inspired by him. I’m still no where near the bassist Les Claypool is but he’s inspired me to be the best bassist I could be. Thanks, Les!

[@jonathanhelms9184]

Once you hear Primus your hooked. I see alot of your videos .. That's what Primus does!!!

[@lisalee84]

Dang that was fun!!

[@matthewcompton3448]

Primus did the opening to Metallica's "Master of Puppets" during their set at Woodstock '94, with Les playing the main riff on his bass. The clip is about a minute long.

[@dosobrain]

You’ve got to check out Cliff Burton Anesthesia:Pulling Teeth Live 1983. I can only imagine where he would’ve taken bass had he lived

[@mariawigent9773]

Awesome ! Such a talented man. And I could watch him everyday. The way he play's its just outstanding.

[@electraellis9929]

Wow!! He makes magic on that machine! ThankQ 🧚‍♀️💕🧚‍♀️💕🧚‍♀️💕🧚‍♀️💕

[@TommyGrafman]

Les is great. But a nod and tip of the hat to the Rock bass Godfather, Thunder Fingers John Entwhistle from The Who.

[@thepyroking1236]

very cool to see my upload being watched on this channel

[@Max-ui7yf]

Jamel, I doubt you will see this but if you do could you PLEASE get into some of the side projects that Les has been involved with over the years? You have things like The Claypool Lennon Delirium, Oysterhead, Colonel Claypool's Bucket of Bernie Brains, plus several others.

[@user-fb2jb3gz1d]

Clay is a beast

The guitarist at 2:25. Can tell he admires that bass solo lol

This alert goes out to ALL!!! PRIMUS puts on an Amazing live show(it is truly Unreal) but Primus is on tour and doing a Rush tribute Farewell To Kings. This is a must see once in a lifetime show. Now you know the rest is up to you. ✌

[@8arrows]

Is that back on? I had tickets to that in Austin at the Moody theater. where they film the Austin City Limits. For my birthday. But then Covid made them cancel. The first time I saw them was on the Rush’s Roll the Bones tour. When the released Sailing the Seas of Cheese. My girlfriend at the time Jessica, didn’t get it. But me best friend Blake, and I became instant fans.

[@8arrows]

Just checked they will be in San Antonio April 16th. I will be needing to,purchase my tickets. Thanks for reminding me about the Farewell to Kings tour they had to put off!

Marcus Miller, Victor Wooten and Les Claypool are possibly the best bassist ever. So creative and making the bass the lead. Love it.

[@angellouisesings]

It's really overdue now that you check out Level 42. If you're into bass, watch a Mark King bass solo, bassist for the band.

Thela Hun Ginjeet by King Crimson!

[@michaeljozwiak25]

I like Primus.

[@pleasant_screams903]

Les is a damn Phenomenal bass player. Auditioned for Metallica...they thought he was amazing but just wasn't a fit. Formed his own band Primus. Kinda like Slash auditioned for Poison and CC Deville was chosen over him. 🤷‍♀️ Yet he got into GNR afterwards and we all know the rest. Now Slash is a legend, yet he was rejected by Poison. 🤣
