One Better - Les Claypool

Les Claypool video

[@MaximumBrandon-]

Beyonce, I'm real happy for ya, and Imma let'cha finish, but Les Claypool has the greatest music video of all time. Of all time!

[@WithoutDaDramaticPun]

Les Claypool is amazing! This song is amazing! Any sound that comes out of Les Claypool's bass is amazing! =)

[@carpediemarts705]

He played all the drums on this album too. Hope you spit up your coffee when you read that.

[@eduardorivera508]

This song/music video made me happy during my teen angst era in high school. Thanks Les!

[@CriticalofOnions]

I love how just about every comment here is relevant to when this album first came out like 16 years ago! Makes me feel so nostalgic even though I was still unaware of Claypool back in '06.

[@Bleilock1]

Yea feels like time machine in a way, likeni stumbled on some hidden time treasure

[@ManDudeYeah]

Without Les Claypool, I wouldn't be a musician. Much less would I be the bass player that I am today. Other than Carl Sagan, Les is the only individual that has profoundly changed my life. Great guy and an unreal bassist, long live sir Claypool

[@AnnDVine]

This is my favorite song on the Of Whales and Woe album. Fantastic stuff.

[@carpediemarts705]

I have listened to this over and over and over. All the way across Nebraska from the Iowa line to Wyoming once. And then I wished there were more Nebraska.

[@mrhyde_09]

This isn't the frog brigade. This is him solo.

[@Pvtjoker7]

You my friend, are my hero. Thanks for the upload.

[@petey222]

I love the song and thank you for the upload. Learn it on bass and you'll feel so much better. Pete approved.

[@JmanNo42]

The ultimate *UFO technology* video ;D And what a tune!!!!!! I will give you one better

[@avianbc]

Wow. Best video I have seen to date for anything done by Les.

[@Speer82]

This song is kickass and the video matches. COOL.

[@TryptophanSunset]

I posted the 420th rating!!! I'm awesome!!!! But on a more serious note, this song sounds like an auditory dream. Incredible.

[@fila365]

awesome psychadelic funk groove... Am not a fan of les claypool myself but this song really rocks

[@CJAnonymous]

It's this underground drug called "practice." He's been on it for 35 years.

[@sketchesforyou8020]

@BoulderBro999 why? No, Ler is awesome, Lars is the drummer for Metallica.

[@sketchesforyou8020]

@BoulderBro999 why? Ah, I see.

[@apeapeape999]

people think he's a smug asshole for no reason, but it's actually because he's worked his ass off to go from being a goof ball in a loser band to being a legend of bass guitar

[@tuberqueue8973]

Original video is "Kontsert porgandipirukale" (Concert for a Carrot Pie)

[@k1awdttt]

That was a good trip, thx for sharing.

[@pearcebonicatto9746]

Les Claypool is a human cartoon character so awesome song.

[@FlightofMartyrs]

On the 8th Day, God said "im gonna get me one better"...... so he created Les Claypool.....

[@allthegodsaremine]

Claypool es un maestro !!!!!!

[@ratfink702]

You simply cannot get "one better" than Les.

[@Galefox]

les claypool is win at its finest

[@captainwafro]

DANGER! That would be too EXTREEEEEEEEEEEME!

[@metallegion501]

You can't compare them they each had their own styles and any way Cliff died when he was young he still could have even greater than he already was.

[@Freakarmy]

Les Claypool is an absolute legend and I feel his time is still to come

[@psychicwhoosh]

There is a shitload of Zappa in that man. Bless you, Claypool for never compromising your gloriously bizarre perspective.

[@matoshIee]

damn. this is funky as hell. its crazy funky

[@ClayChapman0]

this video still a better plot than jersey shore, twilight, and both fred movies

[@avosmash2121]

*travels to this video comment in a little red time spaceship from the far away year of 2019.* ......myup. Sure don't miss none of those things. *Puts back on spaceman goggles and flies away*

[@specialedday]

Bad-ass song ever made, and a really cute video!

[@MWilliams123]

i'm seeing him on monday i can't wait

[@dropout02]

dang man great stuff! les is a hero!

[@Trahira517]

Yea, just felt like saying Primus sucks for old times sake ;) Grats on the concert, I need to catch Claypool sometime soon...it's been awhile.

[@ndlaxball2]

Damn the beggining of this song is funky as hell

[@Iguana875]

I gotta watch this high.

[@Usorth]

Extraordinary animation and music.

[@NelsonRomaine]

It's good. It compliments the music and lyrics.

[@maitreMechant0]

very good ! :) thank,s to LesClaypool

[@Shredbot12]

Im Seeing him in Concert 29 days!!!!!!, SO STOKED

[@La-Musca]

Wow!! Magnifique!

[@DragonmasterA1ex]

Tales from the Punchbowl and Frizzle Fry are indirct refrences from Primus. Barrington Hall is another from The Frog Brigade. Barrington Hall was famous for having parties with LSD spiked punch. Claypool was a fan of such parties.

[@spyralspyder]

all bickering aside,..... this is one trippy cartoon, and bassline!

[@Tainshy1]

i love this song ay am currently learning on bass....dis guy is my bass idol

[@FrancisTrafton]

les is the best hands down

[@tebayass]

im gonna give you one better:) yeah les live!

[@Chris7660]

I like the music'n'all, learning alot of it, but his videos really creep me out ^^

[@meinabucket]

creativity in its unrestrained form.....tends to come out something like this

[@eddiemoon]

OOOHHH SHWEET MAN THANKS!

[@fuzzcentralage]

yeah i agree, he's gotta be the best.

[@dillonchamberlain]

i had a "bad" trip like this once, but with the blue smurf dudes, it wasnt bad, but the fact that i had it was awesome

[@tellytubbysmash]

nearly the best bass solo i've ever heard, by the way nice animation

[@BiffChunksteak]

I'd use this to introduce my kids to TV.

[@Puppybarf]

Simply FANTASTIC. Les is MY God.

[@acdc11491]

dude, i believe in religion now xDDDDD PRAISE GRAND MASTER CLAYPOOL!

[@sketchesforyou8020]

Wow, this video was posted 17 years ago. Same with the John the Fisherman video. Just goes to show how much people are into Les Claypool. Primus sucks!

[@Gopercok]

God bless the fucking bass in this song!!!! Les Claypool, what a guy!!

[@popthekiller324]

I read the video has a connection with Les always wanting to become a childrens novel writer. Im pretty happy he decided to take music.

[@primussucks]

this tastes great!

[@boinky333]

This is a very good song.

[@SynesthesicVision]

makes me wanna dance!

[@7Siete]

I just saw him in Dallas... he's awesome! The video/animation contest posted on his website ends July 2nd.

[@fryBASS]

ahha the ending is the best!

[@nugster1]

LMAO! great video.

[@meinabucket]

most agreeably mr. tomcat this is talent, more specifically les claypool

[@SynesthesicVision]

that always makes me wanna dance

[@567n5]

The video is an excerpt of the short "Kontsert porgandipirukale" (Concert for a Carrot Pie) (2002) by Heiki Ernits and Janno Põldma, so hardly this video is official. Anyway both things, animation and music are great.

[@brakkum]

cool stuff!

[@mahglazzies]

Lol, nice Jason, nice.

[@SynesthesicVision]

makes me wanna dance

[@adeadlois43]

You name all great bassist's, but none of them are as affluent or innovative as Les Claypool. I would listen to him over those guys any day of the week.

[@shone1178]

the family benefeits through working together...the bugs benefeit through competition...the sun and moon evened out through karma

[@RonSwanson24]

Les Claypool makes zero sense but the man is a musical genius...

[@hexwarp]

being insane kicks ass.

[@RiotSk8Team001]

i saw him play it in san francisco a cpl weeks ago. two words: kick...ass...

[@Jeenroox]

Les gets his appeal not because of how well he can play, but because he plays so well while making his awesome sound. He's not the best out there. By no means is he the best out there. He is the most origional though.

[@tommycat1313]

....like wine....better with age....

[@spyralspyder]

I mean,... this is a whole new angle on cleaning fish...... and carrots!

[@takhdtogo]

LE lapin me fait kiffer^^

[@leeflyslayer6453]

25 people can't give even 0.5 better...

[@Bleilock1]

Oh man i remember when these types of comments were popular

[@JTisGOD]

You know what would be cool? If Les formed a superband with Metallica lead guitarist Kirk Hammet. Apparently they were good friends in high school. That would kick some ass.

[@crionics88]

haha nice vid.!!!!!

[@dillydean]

holy shit i am loven that funky ass bass and the cartoon was weid but awesome

[@caesirian]

THE SOLO!!!

[@zak1998]

No one gives Les one better on the bass. Holy shit I love this song its one of his best. One Better, Buzzards of Green HIll, Red State Girl, Ding Dang, Beezlebub (w/ Beats Anique where he basically ruins the electronic genre),. The Big Eyeball in the Sky, Thai Noodles, Hendershot, Stayin Alive (cover), ec, many Primus greats, Jerry, Wynona, Mud, Tommy, John, Harold, Frizzle, Groundhog. ect ect ect ect Claypool is the one better.

[@Gizzacks]

HAHAHA!!! Awesome!

[@RobertGraaf]

Les Claypool animated this, i agree with u that this is a cool song =P

[@zachbdude]

I FINALLY UNDERSTAND THIS VIDEO! not really, i just wanted to be one of those people who thinks they are a philosipher on youtube...

[@thebosicothe]

cool bass tone

[@Dmz248]

Actually, he did, and he admitted it.

[@oofonoof6114]

What?

[@BiffChunksteak]

Them aint no skeeters boy, them's darn horseflies they is.

[@cindyburke139]

always one better,good morning america

[@smashrhythm]

im pertty sure les made this clip him self. he is a animator, painter, sculptor, glassblower, movie director, actor, drummer and i dont know what else other than being the coolest bass player known to man i think his talent is boundless.

[@timebomb98765]

the whole thing makes me go completely insane

[@FrankyTenFingers]

YES !! ^^ That's what I'm talking about... :)

[@FrankyTenFingers]

YES !! ^^ That's what I'm talking about....
