Les Claypool - Holy Mackeral

[desertazul]

eenor should play bass , cuz he's huge and that guitar is so small

[MachinimaBrothers]

Never mind.

[MachinimaBrothers]

Ya know the real date/place for this show would be nice. I mean the joke is funny but seriously.

[desertazul]

@MachinimaBrothers it's at tipitina's in louisiana sometime during 2003 or so

[desertazul]

@MachinimaBrothers actually it was 2002 , new orleans , jazz fest

[erkbrothers]

Holy Mackerel! Nice guitar solo Eenor.

[sublime88sublime]

gotta hand it to hitler on the sax. he really killed it

[zack2703]

Love the Emerson lake and palmer reference

[maxedwell]

True story.

My Granny's yard gnome said that back in the 1930s, people were so poor, the only way Les was able to afford an instrument was to build it himself w/ the aid of frogs. Sadly, the process by which Les and the frogs built his bass was so tiring that he was quite hungry afterwards. Luckily, there were all these frogs around so Les chopped their legs off for food... but in a nice way. He gave them crutches and everything. Man, those Great Depression/WWII years musta been tough.

[MrHyssop]

woow 71 years of bass playin'... damn

[Wanderlust67]

They were quite fashion forward in 1938--right down to the mass-produced Great Depression Halloween costumes. My Nana used to work in a sweatshop making those. They would pay her in Halloween candy. Not the good stuff like Reese's Pieces and Snickers, though. She'd only get the C-level crap like raisins and Dum-Dums. She did appreciate the pennies, though. After all, it was the Great Depression...

[LinkAPD420]

Hitler wouldn't have killed himself if he had sweet bass lines punchin him in the ear like this.

[SlapATACK]

i didn't know that had such quality film in 1938. I wonder if Les Claypool played bass for hitler. lol

[LBC6893]

wow 1938 this was filmed huh

[iatethebaby67]

i think this is at tipitina's in nawlin's, during jazzfest 2002

[combcard]

turn it up!

[pc62307]

I saw on CNN about how Micheal Jackson actually bought Les Claypool from Hitler just to prove how white he is. Everybody knows white people cant play the bass.

[Kanichev]

HAHAHA! being a racist tool here man!

[toohey666bmx999]

1938? fucken hell

[LBC6893]

i know, i had no idea ls claypool was that old. no wonder hes so good, hes got all that experience

[NWOpartycrasher]

saw him live was the sh*t

[BogusWins]

I heard the devil joined up in 33'

[markallenkellner]

I love Les' Captain Beefheart get up

[bassmax223]

are you all shitbrained????

can´t understand you guys that you believe such things...

[lawnkhan]

I really don't see how either.

[lawnkhan]

I thought everyone knew that Les is actually in his seventies. He has been using state-of-the-art botox injections to keep looking like a middle aged man. He did play for Himmler and Rudolph Hess among others in the late thirties and were it not for his Jewish heirtage he would have faced a war crimes court in Nuremberg like the rest of the founding fathers of National Socialism.

[bowelrock]

god your a fucking looser

[lawnkhan]

You are the one who misspelled loser you great person you. I wish you well and hope you succeed in every way open to you.

[BritaniaRuleAgain]

lawnkahn should be sodomized with a bass guitar

[asherpierce21]

actually the opposite. claypool used speed/amphetamines

[lawnkhan]

Conveniently enough for him, they were in great supply in Nazi Europe at that time. It helped him to perfect his performance for the Reichstag.

[rancidalika]

it states that this concert took place in Berlin, 1938...didn't know they were jamming this kind of stuff in the thirties lmao!!

[theREALjsikk]

you cant fuck with Skerik on a sax either. what a mad man!!

[MikeOck09]

les claypool is a strange man. but he is an incredible bassist..

[xenotoxette]

You might even say he's an incredible man and a strange bassist.

[Cellular18]

That dude can jam that base guitar No doubt.

[fretboard101]

I remember that show in '45.

Twas epic.

[fretboard101]

Guys, I was there...

[SheedyDoo]

Do you have video of the Frog Brigade from 1945 in Germany? They supposedly played for Hitler.

[redtape420]

Actually Les Claypool was killed in a bombing raid in 1941, so that cannot be. But it is true that he did play for high ranking ss officers on a regular basis.

[ForbodingFrog]

Really? I coulda swore I saw him playing with Elvis and Jimmy Dorsey once.

[Numlocq]

Say what? Claypool aint dead.....is he?

[mrblackmagichimself]

Yeah. Died in '62.

[Numlocq]

Les Claypool didn't. He is still alive

[BountyHunter233]

he wasent even born then

born: 1963

died: 2180 (he got frozen in time for being awsome)

[lawnkhan]

oh yeah and FIRST YEAH!!!

[lawnkhan]

I found the music to be lacking in any real intelligence and the only real savior in this whole mess of a show was the clown-like and almost saddening performance by this man-child many have called Les Claypool. Well Clearly; Les is NOT more!!!
