Les Claypool: one WEIRD dude, one WEIRD Story

The Les Claypool story. This week, we're doing a deep dive into Les Claypool's career and how he became the whacky wizard who auditioned for metallica, released wild tunes like "too many puppies" as well as albums like "Frizzle Fry" and "Sailing the seas of cheese" with Primus, Buckethead, Sean Lennon and other amazing musicians. Les is one of a kind.

Fantastic work. I've been a Primus/Claypool fan for 30 years, and I think you did a great job of making sense of the wild swings between bands, band members, loose affiliations, and reunions.

[@guitarmeetsscience]

@@anon-means-anon wow thank you so much - this one hasn't seen much light of day so I'm glad some fellow claypool fans like yourself and come out and check it out. I really appreciate the kind words!

[@MISFIT-lz2wc]

When Les wakes up everyday he has to check his planner to see which band he'll be in that day

[@guitarmeetsscience]

Hahahahahaha yep!!! 😂👍

[@joemars41]

I bought Primus' early work and turned a lot of my friends onto them. Some dug it , some didn't. Anyway great content in this one , much of his other work i wasnt even aware of. 💯💥🎸

[@guitarmeetsscience]

Thank you Joe I appreciate it! I love the fact that Primus pretty much went all out a tonal and yet stayed perfectly in the groove. Such a cool band!

Pat Duffy's part in Questionable as well as the clip at the end of his part is a bit of an under the radar or subconscious influence but it has to run deep in the skateboarding world

[@tylerthompson1842]

[@guitarmeetsscience]

Thanks Tyler!

[@MikeOrosco]
