Les Claypool - Phantom Patriot

[@gerardLOVEeyeliner]

The thing I love most about Les Claypool aside from his talent is how much he's put out. Like Primus, Les Claypool, Colonel Claypool, Bernie Brains, list goes on and on; it is so amazing to discover all his different things. Especially with each project he does he changes his song style up. He ceases to amaze me.

[@TECHNOID69]

Absolute legend wouldn't be overstating it.

[@govetter]

Katie Moore Of course you mean he NEVER ceases to amaze US! Pork Soda! lol www.imdb.com/name/nm0165633/?ref_=fn_al_nm_1

The Claypool Lennon Delirium is also very nice and I though it would be bad idea as Sean Lennon played music for teenagers before the delirium. But I was surprised and I think it deserves to be mentioned. Breath of a salesman is very claypool as Capitan Lariot.

[@gerardLOVEeyeliner]

Jimi x that's the great thing, 3 years ago delirium didn't even exist, he just keeps putting more out.

[@DastardlyMatt]

Props to Les for turning this into a song. The article was hilarious!!

[@MrGuy-ss1om]

This is about a guy who got caught trying to infiltrate a certain private establishment and a very true story lol, Les is awsome!

[@loganbaileysfunwithtrains606]

It's about a guy trying to infiltrate the bohemian grove and was going to kill everyone in there, which included federal government officials from around the world, wish he could have succeeded, it might have shed some light on the satanic worship going on there.

[@bookplate]

i think the theory isn't that it's satanic worship but it's like moloch or minerva or something like that

[@ATthemusician]

I mean, it's literally about the Phantom Patriot lol. Dudes kinda crazy, but he was right about the Bohemian Grove

[@zaclovesschool2273]

@@bookplate The names of the gods change, and likely the rituals. I think it started off as more about love and having time away from the woes of the world, but over time it may have gotten more and more twisted. Nowadays i imagine it's not a good place to be.

one of the best les claypool ....i wish i could see him live in greece ....HEAR ME OH MIGHT LES CLAYPOOL

Let me just turn on a les claypool song aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand it's 2am.

Les Claypool just makes the best music and he's in so many different things and bands you will always find new music. I love his dark carnival music.

[@ariatari2600]

I actually knew this guy! Did Les Claypool ever meet him? He wrote a kinda condescending song about him but I knew the fucker! He was just a comic book geek/Alex Jones fan that got a little too enthusiastic. A total sweetheart IMO.

[@pedrot.9569]

Ok, I'm not a conspiracy believer but, this is strange. Death Edit A report filed by the Washington, D.C. Metropolitan Police Department on October 15, 2018, indicates McCaslin attempted suicide. Police found McCaslin suffering from a head injury in his truck, parked in an alley next to the House of the Temple, a Masonic Temple. The Freemasons were a frequent subject of McCaslin's conspiracy theories. He was pronounced dead the following day.[17]

[@zaclovesschool2273]

@@pedrot.9569 Ironic part is that from what I understand, the freemasons are mostly clean of all this stuff. They're just easier to blame since you can actually see them. Real freemasons despise the things going on in the world, things like bohemian grove. course idk what goes on in the higher stratum of the order, i just know the people down below in the order are usually very grounded and care about truth seeking above all else.

[@MadMatt5201]

Les is MORE !!!

[@nokilla1]

The Phantom Patriot is just....wow....have any of you seen his videos? or read the news stories in him? what he speaks is mostly real but the whole costume thing...just wow

[@vetterburns1048]

INCOMING!!!

[@chubbykitten13]

@ariatari2600 I love that this song exists about him...yeah that guy was living back in my neighborhood in SF for a while, visiting local comic book stores with his self made comic...but haven't seen him in over a 2 months now....

[@Mdmelastrange]

1:28 the yellow submarine?!

[@patrickezuma7140]

Inspired by a real life super hero...The Phantom Patriot was arrested for trespassing in the Bohemian Grove

[@chubbykitten13]

@ariatari2600 ...good to hear he's a nice guy, I always got a sense that he wasn't a d-bag!!I didn't know him personally, he would speak/nod when we crossed paths, and I never wanted to intrude on his personal space, but I am intrested in his story...someone with that much conviction, regardless if I agree with them or not, must have a pretty intersting story. He often implied that he had no family/friends,so It's good to hear he's friends with someone enough to write them from Jail.

[@Nutcasenightmare]

Wow, great graphics, and very surreal!

[@donhavard6525]

Better every time I hear it

[@robdelabassist]

its amazing how the video has nothing to do with Richard McCaslin but fits the music perfectly

[@ariatari2600]

@chubbykitten13 He stuck around here for a while, then? I figured he'd go back to Austin or something when he got out. He wrote me from San Quentin, probably still have the letter in a box somewhere. Self made comic... sounds about right.

[@runeolsen7927]

[@TheJuandenova]

That's good shit! The video AND the song!

[@americanmadness3215]

You can read all about the life of Richard McCaslin aka the Phantom Patriot (and some quotes from Les Claypool) in my book American Madness: teakrulos.com/american-madness/

[@dylancornett]

hahaha., there is les claypool for ya! that is bad ass

[@funkworthrollin4959]

Primus=Jim Carey=Aesop Rock=DJ Qbert I love all these guys. Hi son. 2019.

[@Endwarpowers]

My personal interpretation is that the initial ball which skips the cannon and jumps ship represents what happened when the Beatles broke free from the seemingly patriotic aspects of being 'British', by indeed taking a whole bunch of acid and so forth. ;)

[@devilslayerthesaintofkille1317]

They all escaped except the one cannon ball that got fired.

[@blkcoupequattro]

Wow, such underlying tones, how true though!

[@nikewatch1987]

just found out whatt this song about absolutely hilarious

[@vetterburns1048]

Waat could possibly go wrong? Oh, okay, that'll do then...

[@chubbykitten13]

Also think he should get a chunk of change for inspiring Les to do this...but thats just my humbe 2 cents.

[@vertyisprobablydead]

He's dead.

[@xyz9610]

haha, here's Claypool's touch, excellent riffs, lyrics,themes, far from the rock business industry, Primus "sucks!"

[@-sigma1584]

X YZ primus sucks so good

[@ATthemusician]

This isn't Primus.

[@Martin-1973]

@@ATthemusician actually Les is Primus 😊

[@NoVacforfreshcarpets]

@craigodorius atleast it has no dislikes which shows a good bunch of people have watched it

[@MrNarcan]

Les... you're crazy man! XD

[@SPICYPLACENTA]

imba les!!!

[@dolnomyte]

It's official?

[@playlistentertainment7595]

The original name of this video is "Captain Bligh" , made by a german animator, but yes ,Les Claypool asked him if he could use this as official video for "Phantom Patriot"

the cannon balls looks like the crappy puppys or gifs web banners, except for that its a cool video

[@zedheisenberg2569]

uh... cannon balls lives matter? that's what I got from this music video.

[@SonOfSheol]

@MrLogicnreason whatever your still trolling

[@TheEddieStilson]

I'm beginning to think Les Claypool did massive amounts of LSD back in the day.

[@studapeppahead5384]

NOPE! That's the craziest thing. I have spoken to him on more than one occasion....back in his teaching days....it's just his mind.

[@TheEddieStilson]

Don't be so uptight. LSD isn't that bad.

[@stnsmith]

I feel like he may prefer fungi

[@Jesse-fk3xc]

nah hes always hated mind expanding drugs

[@levilee207]

You don't need drugs to be creative. Some people are naturals
