[beacky278]

[aftermathfool]

haha didnt notice that before

good eye

[jmlant]

les is way too sick to want to put up with hetfeilds and lars' ignorance, good thing he never joined primus kills metallica musically any day of the week

[eddyrockpower]

OMFG

[bluesrock88]

Les Is God!

[HannarghIMMENSE]

Primus suck :D

[thepurplevoid]

go die les claypool is 1 of the best bassist ever!

[Shigurerox]

Dude? Are you stupid.

It's Primus' old Catchphrase.

[Tilaron]

Emphasis on old :/

[lcurtizz]

hey, the mid 80's arent that old!

[num1fanofrhcp]

was that from 94?

[666bostonbuck999]

Yup

[artyouknow]

Les is god of the bass. Primus fucking rocks, go home Metallica.

[vanfalsey33]

claypool owns metallica ha ha he definitly showed them idiots

[HannarghIMMENSE]

HAHA obviously not! he was the one playing a METALLICA song

[aleksavortis]

if les owns metallica then why did audition to be their bassist before? les is good and so is metallica get your facts straight

[DARQMX]

I think he met that Metallica should of taken Les in. Metallica turned him down because he was "too good" So you should get ur facts more correct as well. I think it was dumb of Metallica to do that, but in a way it prob would of been bad because all they wanted was a body for bass. They didn't care how good he was as long as he could play and have no creative input to get in their way aka Jason Newstead.

[lcurtizz]

he didnt audition for metallica, get your facts strait.

he was invited into metallica, because they were looking for a bass player and he was good friends with james.

les turned it down because it wasnt the style for him.

[IvantheSexySASMoose]

A - He was friends with Kirk Hammett in high school, not James Hetfield.

B - He was invited to audition for the bass player role, which he really wanted. But they didn't think he was the right person, so he didn't get the call. He even says that himself in the Metallica Behind the Music documentary.

Get YOUR facts straight.

[zaneknight]

dude les carpool is the shit he is the best bass player ever

[cdumeohyeah]

SICK, SICK, SICK, SICK, SICK, SICK, SICK..........oh yeah, did I forget to mention, FUCKING SICK!!!!!! THAT SHIT WAS AWESOME! LOL

[jcinchains04]

man, i like this cover a lot!!! yeah primus sucks!!!!!

[MindFreak2020202020]

Was pretty good

[Apple0192]

Claypool is one of the best and before someone says Wooten or Jaco I want to say two things. as bass players we should respect other bass players who do their best and go above the call of the "standard" bass player in crappy pop music and Wooten himself has jammed with Les and when asked how it was Wooten lifted his hands up and said "He's Les..thats all there is to it."

[phxsns1]

In my opinion,this sounds better than Metallica!

[EricENeedrearyIII]

You're right!

But if the song were longer...

[iAMcooooooool]

@phxsns1

You have some shitty opinions, dude.

[DreamlandPhoenix]

You are a fucking fag. lol, what a name. A 57-year-old (by your profile); you're probably one of those prepubescent little bitches I always see on XBox Live cursing everybody they know.

[EricENeedrearyIII]

yeah!

Kill him! =D

[bleedinvirgin]

did your father molest you when you were a kid or something? i believe you re 10-11 years old.. at least mentally.. jackass!!

[PhilMcCavity1000]

Stop posting when you are drunk or high...

[lwimsett]

But I enjoy sucking cock. My goal is to one day suck Les Claypool's cock.

[lwimsett]

that was a reply to youreafuckingfag's coment

[santastic69]

fuck :|

wow, as a massive fan of Tallica and a new listener of Primus... i'm impressed

[bushdaddyjr]

sick

[padriug]

Primus did this when I saw them on Lollawhatever in MI at Milan speedway, friggin rocked. Still one of the best and most influential bands.

[sdsusdsusdsu]

look at 0:30 , herb throws the drumstick at least 5 meters into the air and barely mnages to catch it....hahaha

[fenderstrat16]

hahah your right

[6iron6maiden6]

Man, I wish Primus WROTE the song! I HATE Metallica!

[itzSommyJr]

I take it you didn't realize that Les tried out for Metallica before Cliff joined the band, and they told him no.

[montypythong]

HAHAHAHAA Im' so LOLING RIGHT NOW NO WAIT IM REALLY ROFL!!

[CrossHairTheBand]

if youre talking about 6iron6maiden6, than youre right, if youre talking about itzSommyJr youre stupid, because hes right

[NecroticInnuendo]

I take it you realize the James and Lars from Metallica told Les "no" because he was "just too good." If you don't believe me, look it up. I'm pretty sure you can even find it on film.

[DanDanTheBassman]

xD

That, and he wanted to jam out to some Isley Bros.

That must have been a sight to see. I'll bet Lars Ulrich whined about it. I'll bet Lars Ulrich is whining RIGHT NOW!

[starbrightshadows]

Fuck I wish Primus would cover this whole song.

[evitageNtheGreat]

you do not need acid to enjoy Frizzle Fry.

[CrossHairTheBand]

True, Frizzle Fry is a great album, but Acid helps with any music.

[rbccspb]

PRIMUS SUCKS!!! In a good way, of course.

[freelancechemist]

To all of you people who say primus sucks, #1 You pick up a bass and see if you can play slap and #2 Take some acid and listen to frizzle fry. youll change your mind.

[shmegmo]

Get a fucking clue before you start slamming people. Primus Sucks is a compliment to Primus, They used it as their catchphrase after some goober shouted it at a concert.

[cheesebizkit]

you cant call yourself unless you know yhat "primus sucks" really means they rule

[sdsusdsusdsu]

no they still suck!

[skizzott8892]

i mighta just died and gone to heaven

[ztheband]

Holy popn and slapn!!! A FOOKN TREMOLO ON THE BIATCH!!! Gimme!!!

[Warthogfan]

What was that english ?

[Kyzelemented343]

WOHOOOO AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[honolulu78]

sake el bajo al tiro xD jaja

[KalebsArmy]

And to think just what if Metallica gave him the job years ago when Les auditioned?

PRIMUS SUCKS!

[Primussucks33]

who cares? metallica did us all a favor! Primus does indeed suck

[Kyzelemented343]

primus have the BEST bass ever!!! metallica does NOT have one!!!

[Tilaron]

:|

Fail.

[freelancechemist]

Yeah Youre a faggot. stop shitting on peoples parades.

[bucksquaw]

they should have played the whole song damn it!

[langejan75]

les is more

[nickrob1]

that was fucking dopeee

[EmZell]

brutal!

[youknowyourrite1]

that thing that larry does while hes playing is so stupid!!

[penguin141]

What thing?

[cooliovasquez]

where he like puts his feet together and rocks around

[hsker24fan]

Then don't watch Sting, cuz he's done it, too.

[cooliovasquez]

no it is awesome you are stupid

[desimaltall]

Njeaaa.. Maybe.. but if he don't it would be ubernice band. Kirk And Claypool are friends too:P

[themetalman3]

maby les was to good for metalica but if les got in there he would totaly take over metalica. not trying to hurt les becase I like him for he's FRIGGIN AWESOME ON BASS AND PRIMUS RULES. but If les was in metalica he would star being the band leader. no offense to les claypool.

[thebassman6880]

freekin insane

[CEAH123]

Les is the best bassist ever!!!!!!!!

[chansyjones]

WOW!!!!! that was fucking awesome.

[nwkegannw]

hey stegmattic, guess what. NO ONE CARES.

[andrewbohner]

hes right, he tried out for metalica after their original bassist died and they didn't take him because they didn't want dum down his abilities, he was to good to be in it

[stegmattic323]

Now, don't get me wrong, I love Metallica, but Les would be WAY too good for Metallica if they let him in.

[KCvidiot]

piss off nickk4321! stop spaming!!!

[MisterMysterious]

Dude... the bass tabs of this cover... theyre fucking inhuman...

[claypool28]

I think that this is one of the best remakes of this song because the slap makes the sound better and gives it that atraction to you when you listen to it.

[skizzott8892]

dudes victor wooten didnt invent slap he wasnt even alive when jaco pastoroius invented slap

[deadjuan1980]

larray graham was the inventor of the slap not jaco

[skizzott8892]

haha larry graham is a joke

[fathernature4U]

bad fuckin ass

[gearjamminJOE]

there bass player kicks ass

[unluckymisfit]

he's so damn weird. I love him.

[Blakeo22]

Les Clay pool should have tried out for metallica instead of Rob because hes clearly better and cooler than Rob but not as cool as Lemmy

[BassMechanism]

He did. They turned him down because, according to James Hetfield, he was "Too good".

*laughs* Makes a pretty clear statement about Metallica and the music they make.

*Waits for inevitable fan-boy onslaught*

[fgnjfyuk]

well it states that they make thrash metal... the type of music that he makes is too different. and if you think that metallica is a bad band because of that.. well then you're a sad ignorant person. you asked for and you got it. oh and just for the record I love the way Les Claypool plays, and I as well can't see him doing well in metallica.

[NachoDread1987]

Lemmy sucks men! standin next to claypool lemmy has to bend on his knees just to be greatfull to call himself a bass player... les claypool is not a bass player, he is a musician, a reaal bad ass musician, one of the greatest bass players today so please, clean your mouth before you talk about hime :D

[Sk8trMan4]

les claypool and victor wooten r the masters of bass guitar...victor practicly invented the slap tech. check this out

youtube com/watch?v=4dWb-aCWR8U

add the dot.

[sdsusdsusdsu]

well i listen to muse, but i still love primus and a whole bunch of other bands, and i dont see how muse is wrong

[sublimerhcp311rok]

les claypool flea and victor wooden r the best bass players ever

[240warheads]

LEmmy

[aplavljanich]

i saw on havoc tv, les got rejected from metallica becuase he was "too good".

[rage1331]

Just imagine if he got in Metallica...

[BladeLemonMilk]

Les Was rejected from Metallica cuz they said it was "Too Funky"

[Primus400]

Thank you wikipedia!

[Primus400]

That was supposed to be quoting the fact that metallica said he was too funky

[guitarfreak3091]

Never seen a whammy bar on a bass before...nice.

[cheesypasta]

wow look at that mosh pit!

[KurtSandford]

Just thinking the same! lol!

[AtrumAethra]

PRIMUS SUCKS! :)

[mike400my]

aww, cute. Primus is a band whose balls have already dropped long ago - iow, no WHINING - just straight up rock music. This single minute or so of playing has never stopped amazing me...

[claypoolrocksbass]

[Zappafan5150]

Jokes on you, lulz

[Dauragon88]

They stopped using it for this reason.

[claypoolrocksbass]

[TwIsTeDSiStEr99]

[claypoolrocksbass]

[kamu0404]

@claypoolrocksbass

Way to fess up. Don't drink and type.

[headhunter699]

Good ol' Primus :)

[opticannon]

pimp slapped the shit outta that  bass, now turn it street-side to pull tricks

[metalscottsman]

Yo raven keep your fuckin' mouth shut! anyone who listens to Muse has no room to talk shit about any other band ever.

[grantzip]

Good ol' Primus :)

[Revan93]

im serious when i say primus sucks

[soptamer]

by saying so.. ur putting a whole primus army against you! so keep ur eyes open.... I'M SERIOUS!

[inova7]

you could never match les claypools awesomeness on bass , also you arent alloed to tell anyone they suck because muse is in your favorite videos loser

[IAmHated2bass]

PRIMUS SUCKS

In which i mean they kick fuckin ass!!!!

[iKayle]

Primus sucks!

[noahdynamite]

u suck

[MBOTBOC]

there should really be a warner on all things Primus:

PRIMUS SUCKS is their slogan, fans yell it at them!

[falsepride]

Newsted wishes he could play that well! Les auditioned for Metallica but they said that he was too could and that he should do his own thing. Les grew up with Hammett too! They were in there first band together.

[Plegor]

primus the best in the bass!!!

[mike400my]

I am stunned beyond words. And i'll say it again, no matter HOW many times i watch, i'm never tired of seeing this ever. Its been like 6 months since i saw this the first time and i'm floored even now. Doubt he's a god, but pretty damn close nonetheless.

[Whit3Iv0ry]

I've said this numerous times, and I don't mind saying it again.

Les Claypool is GOD.

[hilfepolizei]

ive gotta admit you!

[StupidShitVideo]

crazy fucker

[insaneroberto]

fucking better than the original... hell yes les

[dantheman90045]

I cant even play this song normally

[Smalls989]

thats insane he can do that on a bass

[tastydelish]

if you like music with slap bass, you should check out this band, taty delicious. on our video page, funky ufo. let us know what you think. thanks!

[evolvingmachine]

claypool is the shit. all i can say. i play drums, and i still get amazed at how good claypool is. i wish i could play bass like him.

[RIP302]

If only they had done the whole song thad be even awsome[r]

[Spriken1]

true....the only thing is...like...the whole intro is on 2 strings...so he can the that slap/pop thing going...but the rest is mostly on just 1 string...it would be weird...but im sure Les could pull it off

[aaron900012]

les claypool is the motherfucking shit

[Kyzelemented343]

WOW AWESOME :o

[RE4Freak]

That was cool to see a band like primus cover metallica lol

[r0mel02200602]

tangina mo halimaw ka

[BassMastaITA]

I want slap like CLaypoolll !!!

[Sloberingdog]

The only similar bass players to claypool are people like Flea, who take things used in other genre's (particularly funk) and put it in another (rock), for me though Claypool owns Flea ... and i find his music better

[luiss0989]

wooten is jazzist and claypool is rocker

[raizumichin]

Agreed, they play too different styles to be compared.

[joint1977]

*___*Greeeeeeeeeeeat*___*

[Boernmaster]

waaaahh i want to slap like hime ô0 *-* i like it

[funnystuff1284]

haha did u see the drummer throw his stick up in the air and larry trying to catch it? lol

[Bassicles]

PRIMUS SUCKS!!!

[Waterpprof]

2 of my favorite bands in one with les claypool playing lead!

[el12freddy]

wow that was cool.

did you know that this guy was turned down as metallica's new bassist after the late cliff burton in '86 because i was to funky ? =P

[UMSMASTA]

nah that wasnt their exact words.

basically les claypool went to high school with lead guitarist from metallica kirk hammett. when cliff died kirk sugessted les, and their words were "he was too good" they didnt need all those slap techs on bass. but i still think it would be awesome if les did join

[famouspogs]

i know he went to high school with them but there are more sources claiming they said he was too funky rather than too good.

[Drratburn]

actually, in an interview I saw, Metallica said they were afraid that he would make the rest of the band look bad (as in he was way fuckin better lol)

[UMSMASTA]

when u want slappage, go to victor wooten

when u want speed, go to flea

but when u want technique and talent, u go to claypool
