Red State Girl

[@wackyruss]

And it is Les's self indulgence that we have all grown to know and love. I've been listening to the man since '93. He hasn't ever let me down artistically, creatively, and musically. He may not be a classically trained François Rabbath, however, but his lyrical adeptness and his storytelling skills mingled with his bass wizardry and sheer creativity make up for it and have kept me coming back year after year.

1:44 it’s my favorite part because of the face Les makes and the cello part.

He looks like my HS shop class teacher...

[@MedicFromTF2_REAL]

This is terrifying and awesome at the same time.. That's Les for you!

[@NickJohnCoop]

What I love about Les is that ,more than anything he plays for us freaks.

[@Pillowzzz_]

ThNk u. I remember showing some ppl primus back in middle school and this chick saying u need to listen to real music cuz this isn’t.... knowing this was the days of Ricky Martin Britney *NSYNC and Backstreet Boys... which she loved of course in 5th grade what girl didn’t but still Fu for not having a sense of diversity or for me something relatable to my life but more so my head. I was actually given pork soda by my teacher who would drive me home since we were neighbors and she was a wild child for a middle school teacher but bless her heart for being the coolest person ever . Ms witworth.... not related but no one knew I was close to my teacher as a family friend. Has anyone called a teacher by first name in class? Her eyes got so big and nervousness was pouring out of her

That drummer scares me to this day

[@stevenbridgewater7593]

I mean yeah, if you woke up to him playing bongo and just staring at you in the dark

[@f0rmaggi0]

That drummer is awesome. I think his name is mike Dillon. I saw this tour live and at one point he played a xylophone and a drum set at the same time.He’s a true percussionist.

[@technopagan78]

That "guy on bongos" is Mike Dillon. He is an incredible percussionist. He's been with Claypool for years. Claypool = Masks

[@blazeandcyrus]

This is pure genius. bow bidi bow bow... fancy band kicks ass!

Holy shit! I think I just saw the first debate where all parties disagree but didnt resort to children. Kudos to les fans for having some intelligence!

[@dazpatreg]

This just seems like something that could be on a Tom Waites album! Bloody Brilliant!

Hello. We are the Avant Garde. We've been waiting for you. Come, take a seat. Here's your duck.

Absolutely amazing, love this song and everything off of the new album! Keep these great tunes a comin!

[@meanjeandj]

I saw this live on Tuesday. The dude playing the cello freaked me out. He had this evil grin the whole time. Awesome show!!

[@redanzl]

11 years ago! I saw a show from this tour also. It was amazing!

[@mantaszmenskis5619]

strings look too thick for a cello.

You just want more of the same! Les Claypool does not confine himself! He expands his mind, literally!

[@loco323100]

is fucking fantastic. sory, i donts speak english very well. i`m argentinian. but "BOW BA DE BOW BOW" is the shit.

[@FearfulFeck]

I love this song, it is really addictive...its smorgasbord for the ears!

[@jawaka]

Just because they say that it's not a song in the lyrics doesn't mean that it isn't a song. It still meets the definition. It is a composition (that is, some things arranged in a given space of time) and it has singing in it. That's pretty much it. Just because someone doesn't like something doesn't make it "not art" or "not a song." I think this is about as far as I'm going to go to try and explain this.

[@Max-el7zd]

I have never found a song that I have hate-loved as much as this song.

If any of you haven't heard this whole cd yet check it out. There are some great covers on it !

Thank You Les!!! I can just never get enough of guy. Just hope hes coming back to San Diego soon!!!

[@tebayass]

its a good song, you have to listen to the music and then say something about it, its that unique les claypool style with all kinds of music influences, thats cool!

[@chancesallee8944]

Yeah why don't you just shut ur trap bruh! 🖕

[@Sartori]

Yeah, Les writing songs with political messages is nothing new, he's been at it a decade or so. Besides, it's funny.

[@momospills]

yes! one of Les favorite bands is the the residents.. Les was in a movie and he was wearing one of the residents shirts in that movie!! The residents are awesome yeaa

[@herm574]

nah this aint primus

[@Homanjer]

@b phillip doesn't really tie in. Very different music very different musicians very different technique. Listen to les playing it's completly different. It's like he has a different style for each project.

[@Homanjer]

@b phillip yes it is but that's not a reason to say that they tie into eachother for me. They have factually nothing really to do with eachother. Different to a point where most of his side projects are completly different genres. Also Primus is heavily based on experience that Les and Ler have together. Ler takes a huge influence in the Primus style while les himself described some of his side projects as his specific ideas that he simply needed people to perform. And alot of cover work aswell.

[@quinnmitchel4075]

They’ve got weird lyrics vocals and stuff but they are groovy and funky

Just opinion but, if this happens someday the earth tears appart: Bass: Les Claypool Guitar: Buckethead Drums: Brains Vocals: Serj Tankian Just sayin'

[@schelcidbiel]

Claymot eh I would keep les on bass and vocals and have Serj come in on like when there needs to be singing. Les isn't a great singer he's an vocalist

[@ATthemusician]

Just go listen to claypool's bucket of Bernie brains. Serj would in no way fit their style imo.
