[mattboileau]

This is fucking awesome its like the office meets hippies. Love you les!

[ZOMBIELANDakaUSA]

the greatest movie ever made?

[kovalevisgod]

Hey hey...Bob Cock here...

[boganishwaysv2]

THE CUBE DANCE yeeeeeeee

[wolfboy12321]

ITS SCOTT PILGRIMS BASS!

[tucker441]

@wolfboy12321 :facepalm: fuck paul mcCartney and lemmy. scott pilgram bitches /sarcasm

[NorthrendProductions]

The most Claypool-y thing ever.

[6Gil6dor6]

what the fuck is Warren Haynes doing at 4:10 o_O

[ZOMBIELANDakaUSA]

Les Claypool for president.

[theanalyticalkid]

isn't that bassist on the sarah silverman program?

[WalkerMacd393]

guitarist looks like dimebag

[jcleff2000]

I was dancing the cube. what i do is make a cube with my hands.

[orions2007]

was that mike gordon at 4:09 ?

[bretodom]

@orions2007 yes, he actually has a minor cameo in this.

[DiamondJoeQuimby]

i'm a big Spinal Tap fan and this was even funnier IMO.

[dedsor91]

Looking at the preview, is this thing like a "Spinal Tap"  type mockumentary. I love Les but haven't seen the film.

[jscullysmail]

I think the bass player/singer was mocking the singer of the flaming lips...it reminds me so much of him. He may make great music but i think he kinda a douch

[sociopathix]

His songs are great, his movie is great and his novel is great. Is there nothing this man cant do?

[legsAirsoft]

That movie is great

[horvathazagergo]

3:59 is it ozora festival?

[lioweif]

"I make eye contact with somebody"

[SicSolution]

Claypool plays drums? Damn

[MattMontedoro]

@SicSolution kinda

[misterbamboostick]

More Claypool!

[thestick169]

The cube 1:49 !

[thestick169]

yes

[ClaypoolFan69]

yea he's not only in this movie but he also directed it.

[MegaGomezzz]

If I didn't know any better I'd say that bassplayer looks like Bob C. Cock

[theoriginal72]

Who's this guy everyone calls Bob Cock?

[BountyHunter233]

early primus friend, he taught people how to make the clinefeld

[theoriginal72]

I was referencing Primus' cover of Have A Cigar.

[BountyHunter233]

oh good

i thought i had an amiture primus fan

[theoriginal72]

Quite the opposite.

[TheKille22]

I like that Rickenbacker

[MrJLev]

@TheKille22 Ricks are just about the creepiest basses made. Don't ,you think that guy using was a joke or played for humor?

At the shop i work at, they charge extra for working on Ricks.

[TheKille22]

@MrJLev hahahaha they are creepy looking all right but the sound is unmistakeble (i don't knowi if i spelled it right) :-DDDDDDD

[MrJLev]

@TheKille22 Which is cool if you don't mind sounding like that!

I am semi joking about this, Sir Paul did some great stuff on his Rick, but give me my Fenders and Yamaha.

[TheKille22]

@MrJLev you've got that right, Fenders are the Gods of basses for me, for some reason I don't like Yamahas, I mean they do have there qualities but Fenders are awsome, they are pretty much go anywhere - do anything instruments. I also like my Warwick Streamer and MusicMan. I would not mind having one of the Ricks, I love there vintage sound but i'm not great with the money at the moment! :-DDDDDD

[MrJLev]

@TheKille22 My Yamaha surprised me, bought to be a backup 5 stringer, ended up being my main bass for 5 years or more. Basically an active jazz. My new weapon of choice is a Squire Classic Vibes '54 P reissue with a Duncan QP.

[josefabdon]

that lightning bolt and apricot insignia reminds me of something?..hmm...

[DiamondJoeQuimby]

@josefabdon

yeah, it's an overt spoof as is the entire movie... i thought that much was obvious?

[buckethead777]

1:50 Arj Barker...nice!

[bigmikevt]

nudity at 4:11

[grandtheftautocj]

i love the nasal voice of Les :D

[jaybirdful]

Elecrtric Apricot is awesome live!!! Sersiously....reminds me of when Phish was touring!!! PEACE AND LOVE

[RoguesCorner]

I think that was Mike Gordon of Phish eating something at 4:08!

[fisher1997]

uhh????? what happened? he totally left the rock genera

[wfcposey]

Dude... read the description.

[Heliodromus19]

wtf, les on drums! xD

[epunderground]

Givin' fruit a bad name.... well, maybe not? They stole half our name and the whole idea. But it's OK, we're doing a new CD called SPINAL TWERP eLeCTrIc pRuNEs

[sallythewerewolf]

Here's an idea--Do a reality show! Unlike other celebrity reality shows, it would be entertaining...you can riff on the other shows, like, "Hey! This bag of prunes says *Jewels from Nature*...So, are they PRUNES, or are they JEWELS? I don't want to go breaking my teeth on these things, ya know?" A hit in the making!...

[epunderground]

Givin' fruit a bad name ......... well, maybe not? They stole half our name and the whole idea. But It's OK we're doing a new CD called Spinal Twerp. Electric Prunes

[sim1pdrc1]

Hey, that's Arj Barker at about 1:50 :D He's awesome in Flight Of The Conchords :D

[sahmbedah]

you're right..I don't know why I didn't recognize that in the movie?!?

[kittyxkatastrophy]

i cannot wait to see this movie!!

les claypool is god

[runescape332]

"I just make a cube, with my hands"

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! *COUGH*"

[blodstainedritual6]

les claypool looks like john Lennon

[8Zeitgeist]

@blodstainedritual6 john lennon looks like les claypool :)

[guysapire]

@blodstainedritual6 les claypool IS john lennon!

[hermes233]

lapdog is soo taking the piss out of the drummer from the police and oysterhead

[10menonachest]

[marcushelbling]

the trailer is nothing like the real movie...

I LOVE THAT!! It leaves the movie such a mystery!

most movies give away TOO much in the trailer sometimes.

[u15a]

i agree i saw this then i saw th emovie and was like whoa, now i see this again and its nothing like the real movie...

[cheesendfeltips]

im still not quite sure wat this film is about. someone plz help

[dmeckle]

ok-you've seen spinal tap? its a rock 'mockumentry' (fake documentry) well "electric apricot" is claypool's version of the jam scene. get it?

[ehwPOP]

Im soo seeing that! WOO lesclaypool! I don't think that people who don't know him or arent his fans will be seeing that though as it wouldnt look very good without the knowledge of lesclaypool's involvement.. but hey looks hilariously random.

[bowelrock]

Fuck yeah BOB COCK it the bass player for the band !!!!!!! HA HA HA

[BritaniaRuleAgain]

Bob Cock died actually. Adam Gates refuses to be called that.

[bowelrock]

Im well aware but I miss old Bob C :)

[BritaniaRuleAgain]

Diddo dude!

Aiwass is a prick anyways!

[billydabomb666]

I would of thought he would be the bass player but I think being the lead singer of Primus and an amazing bass player has swelled his head and he thought "Why not show my drum skills everyone knows I already kick ass at bass and whamola maybe I'll just get a little more attention". But seriously I love Les Claypool and It's probably just me but guessing he has a pretty big ego.

[stigonbass]

i dont think thats the case.

I think he did it becoz everyone would naturally think that he would opt for bass in this film, so he did drums instead. i think his ego isnt big at all. you can see it in interviews

[billydabomb666]

Yeah I ust felt like commenting but I guess its not his fault hes so awesome its only natural that someone as awesome as him would be involved in so many projects

[DiamondJoeQuimby]

@billydabomb666

wrong, it's the total opposite... how about dude just has a great sense of humor and is making fun of the jam band scene... it's comical to me how many people don't 'get' that EA isn't a serious endeavor.

[wigginsdesign]

Cool... No I'm not goin to BurningMan Damn missed it again

[DirectorSkinner]

"killer show! "i was doin' the cube.. yea, what i do is like make a cube.. with my hands"

like a dingo with a baby clenched tightly in its jaws, this parody will blow the big doo. didjeri style. brilliantly bringing spinal tap into the last tear off of the mayan calendar.

[zurapDOR]

haha!! Brilliant guys, greets, love and support from Norway..

b)+(-Kane

[council]

Hah, just noticed the guy from Flight Of The Concords at 1:53

[superherolauren]

[mork999]

why does les claypool play the part of the drummer???

[poopweird]

I don't know You would think He'd play the bass.

[youtert]

People would probably recognize him if he was playing the bass.

[HailTTThief86]

This was great. All the Garcia references were hilarious.

[tbarton00]

This looks like a "This is Spinal Tap" for jam bands. I love it. With Les, Mike Gordon, and Warren Haynes all in it. Fucking brilliant.

[manic486]

i have brain damage

woe is me

gonna go burn some sage

[manic486]

[DeathCubeK400]

This is a hilarious movie!!!! Its the spinal tap of the jam scene

[ChaosUnleashedMetal]

[desimaltall]

Whatt?? The drummer doesnt look like Les Claypool from Primus! Is it he who plays the piano in the start? And is Les that fat?

I thought it was the guy that ordered that Burrito?

[metallicat511]

the drummer and the guy playing piano are both les claypool

[hiverhythm]

What're you stupid? Use your eyes, man.

[desimaltall]

Whatt?? The drummer doesnt look like Les Claypool from Primus! Is it he who plays the piano in the start? And is Les that fat?

I thought it was the guy that ordered that Burrito?

[thebassman6880]

most people dont know this but les used to drum and he switched over to bass guitar

[mollutje]

les is the drummer.. that makes no sense at all!:P but then again, that's to be expected from claypool..

[rrasher]

yeaaaa woot modesto represent!!

[msand151]

release moved to early May 2008 unless you go to see Les live, then you can get it at the show...

[kvriezen]

Yes.

[jerrymason4]

The one guy with the headband is from flight of the conchords tv series, is he not? Cant wait to see this movie

[CrunchToastMan]

dave

[icculus87]

arj barker

[js795]

he's pretty good on flight of the conchords, but if that's all you know him from you should youtube some more of his videos. he's a very decent standup comedian.

[ashurtank]

[HelsinkiHellraiser44]

Earth day in medesto

[salivarev]

[guziel123]

I saw them in Santa Cruz. The lights went out at Moe's Alley that night.

[pigbenis667]

pizio pickup!

[cousinedd]

primus sucks!!!!

[ProfessorMojo]

Love Claypool but this doesn't seem as funny or out there as the real people who live this life actually are.

[atrowefleed]

dude, this movie was hilarious

[alliegator123]

I cannot wait...Can, Not, Wait. To see this mockumentary, made from fairy magic and apricot juice...it will be intense.

[vivalaresisty]

Claypool is GOD!

[lostpinguin]

whoah total hippies but cool songs.

[strawberryfeilds4eva]

these guys are 50 years old but they aren't 50 yet, the world collapses upon itself.

let's check back in in 2057 and see what they are up to.

[readein]

its not an actual band it is a joke-documentary and is made by les claypool vocals and bass of primus he also, plays the drummer

[hectorleon87]

this will a classic already

[Teenacidal]

If you are in Oregon, Clinton St Theater is playing it November Nov 23 - 29.

[Moesizla]

I saw Gordo!

[bfish420]

wow dude. does les look like john lennon at 1:22 or WHAT.

where the fuck can i find this film anyway??

[MixWizard]

On the South Park website it says in theatre's Nov. 9th. Which is today.

[bfish420]

yeah i actually read up on that on les's website about it yesterday, and yeah the closest its playing is in san fransisco, so i cant fuckin see it.

[steiny84]

Hey folks, i really love the electric apricots!! Thats phantastic, this sounds like old bands, this is awesome!! I wanna hear more, MORE, MOOOORE!!!

[bfish420]

yeah, its too bad they dont exist.

[getchoneckbrokeyo56]

where can i see this??? i cant find it anywhere?

[mejia85710]

was that the gut from gov't mule at the end?

[JuanKong]

HEY! That bass player is Bob C. Cock!

[mejia85710]

primus is the shit

[theWorsteverLever]

they stopped doing that a while ago

[bonham19]

Primus Sucks! :)

[Servietteski]

You suck!

[jakebass74]

i know its kinda hard to grasp at first, but i'm pretty sure that saying primus sucks is just like saying primus is awesome. ive heard some live recordings and the crowd is yelling "primus sucks!" constantly.

[isocarpful]

the bassit is Adam Gates/Bob Cock it would be bad if u didnt no that and it would be worse if u didnt no that the drummer was Claypool

[MissEvaB]

Ok. *takes foot out of mouth* Thats not Maynard...just wishful thinking....

[MissEvaB]

I want to have sex with Les Claypool. Oh yeah...Primus SUCKS!

[joshmireles88]

Yeah it is les claypool...he did q&a when the film was shown at SXSW

[gdrugg2005]

Is the piano guy at the beginning Les Claypool? He kinda looks like Geddy Lee.

[triopussit]

The cube!

[MrGreenGenes]

I swear thats the Mike Gordon there at the end!!! CRAZY!!

[Khalib]

It is. I was thinking the same thing, Holy Shit!

[kojiok]

[mmshrwd]

The movie was pretty fucking fantastic.

[phan419]

[PaulAttacks]

[dubdojo]

HAHA!!  Great!

[wilsondukeoflizards]

Can't fuckin wait for this!

[derekmurphy]

[Kjle]

Haha. What a hippie. Don't you know, it's like 2005, man.

[clubivy]

This is fucking brilliant. Best mock rockumentary since Spinal Tap. Arj is hilarious as the Cube!

[primatein]

[Gerryface]
