[a2r1v1i2s]

I can pretty much guarantee that the 5 people who didn't like this and I have absolutely nothing in common...

[jakejames9586]

CHunkY MuNkY

[Tazzasaurus1]

the kid in the audience squaking like a monkey needed to get decked in the face

[DarqueSoul]

[Cracksmacknhash]

5 people are deaf mutes

[SystemFreaKk13]

[imra316]

chykymunky, thank you for making such an awesome video! I just can't stop watching them. LOL

[MumbleBearG4l]

I love the guy in the background that makes the monkey noises. Amazing bad & songs!

[bpalance]

Webster- Definition

Good Band: Requires two drummers, at least one monkey and a celloist who thinks he's playing bass

[Tazzasaurus1]

@bpalance ever heard of apocalytica? :P

4 cellists, and they fucking rock!

[aftermathfool]

paolo baldi is amazing

[aftermathfool]

Why wasn't Les & Whamola in Rise of the Planet of the Apes?

[stever199]

four people have never played a whamola while wearing a monkey mask.

[an6el0fdeath]

that instrument kicks ass it looks so fucking nice to play that shit !

[M93RAFfIcca]

the guy looked pissed when claypool ditched his whamola

[McBudz420]

That thing sounds like a fucking car.

[chrisslipknt444]

[Convoicev2]

[kyletheenigma]

Is that a fucking resonator bass?

[dahulky]

damn its so creepy when he stares you down with that mask on

[NoMoreVanilla]

Never heard this before. Wow.

My immediate reaction was that it is reminiscent of Captain Beefheart.

After reading about Claypool, I see that others have made the same comparison.

[OnePissedTiger]

who in the hell actually gave this thumbs down??? must of been four chimps saying "claypool is a racist sound of a bitch"

[mkarmam]

he can really make that thing talk!

[aespo1]

Completely awesome capture of this performance. THANK YOU!!!

[CYLECRAZYCYLE]

[TheMilitantPacifist]

[eccho13]

The jamming at the beginning was EPIC

[REDTEHMEDIC]

LOL he looks like george bush

[a757slayerrider]

[Pookiexoxo]

It truely is amazing what sounds you can make with a single string..... creativity at it's best. you gotta respect claypool's skillz =P Long live les' base skillz!!!!

[movieman138]

[xxGingerPowerxx]

OMFG!!!!!!!!! i blew my load... out of my ear.

[movieman138]

[chykymunky]

@movieman138 Yes I did shoot this....One of the best festies I had been to that year. Les is such an awesome showman!!!!!



[skylar3501]

probably the best whamola player in the world

[TRIVIUMrocker123]

[TRIVIUMrocker123]

wow that things got some REALLY heavy distortion

[movieman138]

[TamboresDeJaykub]

[TamboresDeJaykub]

[paintballmaster1000]

[Odl567]

@15TIMMEH It's a Whamola dude, check em out. Pretty rare, but super awesome.

[sandman45lam]

man what is he using

[themaestro78]

is that Seth Rogen in the back?

[mynmyself]

probably one of the most innovative guys out there...

amazing

[eliades710]

I think that intro is Les' interpretation of what God sounds like.

[DeadEnterprise]

This is amazing

[MahajiHaji]

I came back to this video cause I like, like it.

Are those old guys wearing masks too orr... are those their real faces lols

[skylar3501]

wouldn't mind buying a whamola from him

[divineconscience]

I definitely thought the drummer behind les was just old..I couldnt see the mask.

[teddy169]

"OOOHHH my f#@*ing God!!!!! My face melted when Les came out with the Monkey Mask." - chykymunky

Must be the good acid..

[Canaveral305]

Fucking amazing band. No guitar, a cello, two drummers. How many bands like that do you know ?

[frizzlefry420oh]

i love these two dudes on the drums. the guy on the left love breaking his symbols. give meaning to the fact that "you cant just play the drums you gotta beat the fuckin shit oudda it. hahah

[TwoCows23]

@Militaryxl The flag only gets in the way for about five seconds. Also you're a homophobic fucktard.

[southboundpachyderm1]

no man can induce such curiosity, amazement, and sublimity wearing a monkey mask like les.....love it.

[squiresuzuki]

2 drummers. No big deal.

[MandaloreStier]

whamola is meant to be played while wearing a monkey mask, its in the instruction manual

[oculusprime1]

@MandaloreStier I saw a interview with Les where he said the mask was one of the many that's been tossed to him on stage during a show... just imagine, some dude supplied that mask to him and now it's enabled him to play the whamola!

[herrbass44]

Is the bass Les is playing a bass version of a Resonator or just a custom bass that looks a lot like a Resonator?

[TwoCows23]

@herrbass44 It's a reso bass. They exist.

[ivi1988]

i love how he walks off!!

[superstriker00]

What's the song they're playing at 5:31?

[polishboy42]

@superstriker00 i believe the booneville stomp cause he said booneville stomp like 10 times

[TwoCows23]

@polishboy42 And it's also in the title.

[UhMysteryGuest]

i fucking love this

[grunthunter44]

Awesome camera work man.

[klamoux]

[phishinvan]

[BitchinnShoes07]

[cardinalis]

[xXNHMXx]

[TheThejap21]

[bobbyflay]

[Murrtalica]

@chykymunky actually, i think hes with Les Claypool (his bands name)

[Jaketacular420]

@Murrtalica Wrong.

[Murrtalica]

@Jaketacular420 i was the same members live in 09. but whatever

[Jaketacular420]

@Murrtalica Actually, im not even sure exactly what you were talking about, just assumed you thought that Les Claypool is the band's name. No worries though, I dont give a shit haha

[Murrtalica]

@Jaketacular420 he released 2 album under the name "Les Claypool"

[Jaketacular420]

@Murrtalica Which albums?

[Murrtalica]

@Jaketacular420 Of Whales and Woe and Of Fungi and Foe

[peaceloveandmud1969]

whamafarian!!!



[dirkdigital]

Seriously chykymunky, you are the superbadassdopedefillbombdigit­yist m'f'er around.  You're work is, shall we say, stupendous.

[vampirehippie]

WHen les dies i'm buying his damn whamola

[Ulfar22]

Two people disliked this video.

They must be tracked down and killed.

[MXrider5383]

what song is this?

[crazykillah911]

why isnt there just a band of whamolas i want one so bad les is sexy

[toomanyaccounts]

@crazykillah911

They have to be hand crafted that is why they are expensive.

[CoolKodiak]

Music from other multivers

[horvathazagergo]

whamola is an electronical instrument?

[toomanyaccounts]

@horvathazagergo

Nope it's a string instrument that uses a pulley/level system in order to change the tension of the strings with the result that the pitch changes. There are a number of string or rather acoustic instruments that put most electronic instruments to shame in what sounds can be made.

[fshgjguhergbertyuihg]

Fucking epic within the first 5 minutes

[theC4K3is4lie]

WHAT INSTRUMENT IS THAT?!?! I gotta get me one of those!

[PrimusSucksOnThis]

@theC4K3is4lie whamola, good luck finding one, they'd cost well over $600.

[tojama3]

this is way to sick!!!!!! Love it...trippin my ass off.......lol

[phuzzykrumbstuff]

great vid! 5 stars....

I want a resonator bass

[renaford91]

seen claypool eight times now, twice more this suumer, sick! PURELY SICK!

[bigbroc]

my computer cannot handle this high def greatness :(

[Heliosphan15]

20 stars

[PRSGuitarist1]

The drums at 3:10 ...HARD CORE!!!!!

[TheBadreception]

Very nice recording.

[drfunkenstein124]

in my numbers of shows I've seen live, nobody has blown me away as much Les Claypool in any group.

[BoozehammerOfGalem]

@drfunkenstein124 Agreed. One of the best musicians and showmen performing today. He's the Hendrix of bass instruments. We'll all be happy to say we saw him play, one day. Hopefully that day is a long way off and Les can wow us all for many years to come.

[Ghostdude2]

@drfunkenstein124 Saw him today...fucking amazing...

[jordanthygod]

watch?v=O2mCDikV8mA saw him last night in brisbane australia....blown away.

[SebMcMeb]

It'd be better if that moron wasn't making the monkey noises in the background.

Infact, those few noises are the /only/ thing thats wrong with this video.

[redsamuraidragon]

That might have been our group.

[Nitro487]

how do you play this song?!

[OTEP1234567891011]

No one can, because no one has the same amount of greatness as Claypool.

[Nitro487]

i meant boonville stomp..

[whisperingsin]

Les Claypool... Saw him in Rothbury, Michigan, United States.  Front Row. Unforgettable

[Nitro487]

Les Claypool... Saw him in San Fracisco, California, United States. Front Row. Unforgettable.

[zack2703]

Les Claypool... Saw him in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Front row. Unforgettable.

[dudesons441]

i really wish the drum part at the end on the whamola jam was longer. alot longer.

[dudesons441]

do it!! make DVDs and stuff! I'd buy them!

[trinakria80]

thanks man. best les live vids on youtube

[messton420]

drummers are redikeulous

[rayof86]

Anyone know what kind of mic, or mic+effect he uses on that smaller green mic? Gives that specific Claypool vocal sound.

[ganjagazeebo]

its a green bullet mic...

and thats just the sound it makes...

[rayof86]

Ahhh nice, that mic creates a awesome vintage sound, very cool.

Mike Dillon is such a bad ass drummer. I watch this everyday

[josephj735]

[lilmikey12290]

which band is he with here?

[tr4xexXx]

great vid ! love it !

[bornstarrrggh]

Fat, melting bass. I thought he was gonna throw feces on us when he came out like that for the costume party, was such a great fest, thanks for the upload +P

[redsamuraidragon]

at about 2:10 it felt like he was throwing feces on us with that awesome playing.. Straight up melted my eyebrows off my forehead...

[sociopathix]

Awesome footage thanks alot for uploading.

[TheCheesedick]
