Les Claypool's Bassjo Breaks

[dsgrntldbass]

The best part of the video, or the lesson here is...LES FOUND THE PROBLEM WITH THE EQUIPMENT!!....sorry but don't give that sound guy dessert for week.

[MiseryFields]

They are probably the most perfect audience in the history of ever.

[jackrapper100]

i gotta see him goin against that anamatronic pig

[eihcraft]

@RottenHamburger i think it was fix that bass

[bongripon420]

movie changed my life

[ShreddGamer14]

what broke?

[RottenHamburger]

I find it funny how the crowd is chanting "fix that string" when it wasn't the string that broke..

[nhonho23]

@RottenHamburger

actually they are chanting ''fix that shit''

[RottenHamburger]

@nhonho23 maybe, hard to make it out though. fix that shit, string, sounds the same to me

[sacredcow024]

@RottenHamburger

They were chanting "fix that shit"

[INDIANARTAFFECT]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH BUCKETHEAD IN THE CROWD XD LMAF

[ElectronicIntervals]

Hmm, he has a mic and a banjo bass. Move the mic downwards?

[TheSheephoarder]

What movie is he talking about? I wanna see that thar film.

[62rome]

i like it, good video.

[philold09]

THANK GOD FOR ROADIES!!!!!

[DynastyTunes]

I thought his bridge came off at first

[KingJoeBob24]

and i was rockin' it too

[smellson69]

why post this?

[omarkaya42]

@smellson69 Cuz its funny. Les is funny. Why watch things on youtube and then object to them being there? There are millions of videos you can watch. People tag 'em, too, so they're searchable. Just enter the words you're interested in the box above and get yer Beiber On!

[damianhess]

@smellson69 Why not?? Les cares :)

[MrNorringtonmyiPOD]

3:31 A wild Buckethead appears!

[PureZOOKS]

I liek how he says "all i got is these three fingers" and the crowd is all like "WOOOOO 3 fingars!!!"

[rong9tagger]

gentelmen we can rebuild him, we have the technology, we have the capability to make the worlds 1st bionic bass playing man.... Les Claypool will be that man

[wtfbbqcheez]

Electric Apricot and Pig Hunt... both awesome movies.

[SchecterGuitar689]

its great to see Les he doesnt get mad at the tech guy like many musicians does. Les seems like a really nice guy :)

[thekidwiththefa]

I love that long-haired tech guy, I saw him when I saw Les at Coachella 2010, and when I saw Primus in Vancouver in 2010. What a great group of roadies Les brings along with him.

[XxInputxX]

He wasn't lying when he said he was rockin it.

[WhyTintShamanOtters]

everytime a bassjo breaks an angel gets its wings.

[Nukem169]

FIX THAT SHIT!!! xD

[Bajuiceta5]

The 3 people that disliked sabotaged his bassjo

[jthaney1980]

gotta give props to the tech. Hell of a save by Claypool as well.

[Animeoverlord00]

A round where I exist xD

[DrugLorde420]

buckethead is much taller rofl

[Nitro487]

what show is this from?

[iamfatandsassy]

haha the crowd is hilarious

[EurynomusBH]

Claypool for President, 2012.

[Bunngle]

the way how he moves his fingers at 00:27 just reminds me Mr. Montgomery Burns hahahaha

[CoolKodiak]

I was rockin it too man !!!

Banjoman !!

So awesome !!

[producthate]

poor les..he does a sweet job of not giving fuck...i woulda smashed the thing

[aquasloth]

Just freeze-frame the video at about 11 or 12 seconds in.

Can I get a fucking poster of that image?

[bigdaddyvtec]

Rush power windows tour Oakland like 1985... Geddy lee broke a string during a song ( i was 15 cant remember which one) they had thrown him another rig before the beginning of the next bar... Peart and lifeson dindt miss a step and kept playing, lee kept singing. It was awesome.... PRIMUS SUCKS!!!!!!

[jpbass150]

how many other musicians could tell a story like that to entertain the audience while getting the rig fixed... les is awesome

[punkxrockerx95]

iron maiden's gear broke mid song like that one time i saw them so they started playing soccer on stage and bruce told a quick story or two untill it got fixed

[Joeygame1018]

now this is the kind of guy all musicians should be like. not only can he entertain the audience without having to play his awesome bass with his bionic pinky, but he also helps the tech out. what i nice fellow

[LinkAPD420]

Love how Les has to tell his tech how the rig works... guess he's only good for tuning the equipment.

[stephenshaggy]

he must have hit a gazillion notes befor realizing his gear broke!!!

[nathan7007]

@stephenshaggy lol

[latterlort]
