Primus - Master Of Puppets [Woodstock '94]

[PsychedelicFunkLover]

i loved that place

[TheMySideproject]

Les was too good to be in Metallica. Completely different styles anyhow

[metallichika]

cliff must be looking down from heaven thinking "i wanna jam with that guy! lets have a bass of right now!" lol

[dmanvoultsos]

I was at this with my dad. i was 15.

[theberzerker81]

at 0:27 if you look closely, Herb throws a drum stick in the air and Ler tries to catch it lol

[jonesy97]

Wes is so kick ass! I'd love to see a bass solo shootout between him, and Ryan from Mudvayne.

[StoneColdCraze666]

@jonesy97 Who's Wes? Do you mean Les?

[jonesy97]

@StoneColdCraze666 Yes. Sorry, man. Typo.

[gold3npimp]

Why'd they stop?

[arklop5]

@gold3npimp

Legal reasons maybe? You can't perform copyrighted music without a license.

[PindleofKujata]

@arklop5 Bands cover shit all the time onstage. Chances are they just wanted to jam. Metallica did a couple of riff covers of Smoke On The Water and Thunderstruck on one of their live recordings.

[arklop5]

@PindleofKujata

ASCAP makes the rules, not me. You might be able to get away with a couple of riffs from a song, but technically, you still need a performance license. Check out ASCAP's website for more info.

[Phenomental1ty]

Les is fucking bad ass!!

[SperMSoldieR103]

@alloyz1212 I'm sure that, judging by the shit they're putting out now, people already say that.

[1012Baseball]

I love the Crowds Reaction lol

[TheDeathnotejunkie]

Rock that bass!

[deluschewitz]

For all the people who think that bass is easy, SUCK ON THAT!

[drugstoremarc]

Claypool > metallica

[6ckbass]

I wish he would have joined Metallica, they would have been the band of the century! But yea, Lars and James would have been mad because he DEFINITELY would have stolen the spotlight.

[alloyz1212]

If Les Claypool joined Metallica. Then everyone would say "METALLICA SUCKS!"

[rockerfan444]

Flea is a flea compared to Les Claypool.

[akerswizard779]

Kirk Hammet, take notes on how to play a song you wrote. rotfl.

[symphonyx767]

Note: Les' Thumb bends backwards to form a perfect 90 degree angle as he slaps the shit out of his bass.

Sidenote: So does mine, but im no where near that talented.

[thegoofiestman]

hey was the main stage at woodstock 94 the north stage or the south stage. or were they both main stages

[MaidensWrath]

Les is too fast for Ler

[2bonthewater]

awesome

[Cubarted]

Les Is A GOD!!! PRIMUS SUCKS!!

[eisenkreuzmusik]

wow, that sucked!

Primus sucks!

[CoRRupT3dS3nSeS94]

Les Claypool could kill a man with his right thumb.

[4demon9]

@CoRRupT3dS3nSeS94 Well, then imagine what he can do to a chick with his right thumb. 0___0

[souldry]

@CoRRupT3dS3nSeS94 and take his soul with his left

[bojanks15]

claypool rules

[royalnash]

now adays a group charges 100 bucks to see one concert which lasts like 5-6 hours tops. woodstock lasted like 2-3 days. nothing beats it. they all the cool bands. if kurt was alive i bet he would have been there

[Delta1382]

the reason he never joined Metallica was because he is TOO GOOD, James Hetfield said it himself

[shaneistheog]

@Delta1382 and les claypool himself said because he himself was too weird and that james was being nice by saying that.

[fudgepacksack]

People completely underestimate the power of bass and have no respect for it but this is fucking amazing.

[braxen666]

Les Claypool is the best bassist on earth.. tho he is in the worst band on earth

[ronnyim12345]

SHOLY HIT! THAT WAS NUCKING FUTS!

[chauntball]

...METALLICA SUX!!!!

[andycf87]

that is the definition of sucking amazingly

[TexasZombieMassacre]

whoa, holy shit

[rerenan12]

jhonatas viado! sua prima é minha!

[TiedInChains]

Metallica are just not used to that. It's not they're style and shit. They could have shared the spotlight though. But I don't really think Les should be with them

[TheMagicman87]

u are awere that he isnt and never was with metallica

[TiedInChains]

Yes, I am. But he went to the audition. If he did enter Metallica, either they would fucking change a lot, or talent would be wasted. Kind of like Trujillo

[TheMagicman87]

i agree

[clarese76]

not permanently, perhaps a couple of shows or so, and see what their fans think. I would just to love them to play master of puppets once together, and hear how crazy it would sound.

[TiedInChains]

I just don't think either James or Ulrich would allow him to "be himself". At least as long as the name is Metallica

[Morendo13]

Well, at least he seems to be doing pretty well without them... :P

[Fangalatic]

It has to be very hard not to get the gig of your life for being TOO good. Some practicing to reach that level and you go and overpass.

[TheColbles2009]

well the fact was is that lars said les was too good. they was afraid he'd show off and steal the spot light. course i can't blame em. i mean just watch the video haha

[SymptomSerpico]

If Les had joined Metallica, he would've stolen the spotlight

[AIRampage]

@SymptomSerpico and looked like a fool at the same time haha. but yes les has way to much talent for metallica

[solargesture]

@SymptomSerpico if les joined metallica it wouldve been a joke like Primus

[nevasnitch]

PRIMUS RULES

[buck123]

metallica should have les on bass and tim on drums. what a band that would be.

[Thejanester88]

man, woodstock concert was the biggest concert ever! i wish i was there.

[njexit8a]

I was there!

[Thejanester88]

was it awesome?

[judojon2216]

I do too

[wakeislander]

lars is just gay thats why

[zippywaite]

aw duuuuuuude

[saladfingerz17]

metallica said no to that, lars ulrich has small and insignificant genetalia

[JaymzLea]

You said the exact same thing on the same video if I recall...

I expect to receive a reply about my insignificant genitalia which I will ignore.

And while I'm talking I'll come out and say to everybody that the only reason Les tried out for Metallica was because he and Kirk Hammett (lead Metallica guitarist) are good friends. SO

[Drratburn]

He was almost let in, but Les is a different kind of bassist, different kind of person, and he likes being heard, which bass is NOT in Metallica..

[JaymzLea]

Tis true, sadly. If someone half as good as Les tried out for MY band, however, I woulda been like fuck it, you're in. lol

[Keoric]

wtf?

metallica has some off the Greatest Bass lines ever written!

ORion! Call of The Ktulu.! the list can go on and on.

Tis' a shame that Cliff had to DIe

RIP

[CoTeCiOtm]

It's a fact that Metallica got great bass lines, specially for For Whom The Bell Tolls and Orion, but if you compare those songs to a Metallica setlist, Les would be "supressed" to a more discrete playing style.

[pedals8]

that was awesome

[GuitarFreakMoFF]

LMFAO.

[randombud45]

ROFL!! nice

[kretenglup]

lolololololololol

[jnconick183]

hahaha good one man

[dvr554]

that was some of the best slappin' ive ever seen that was ridiculous

[fireball148]

[grammatakemehome1]

i just wanted to be the first to comment on something

[Samh9]

Nice double post.

[grammatakemehome1]

thanx

[Samh9]

No problem. Though if you double-reply to this comment too, we'll like own the world.

[Danatreyu]

I see what you did there

[Samh9]

This is close to getting ridiculous, but I can't help it.

[Danatreyu]

Guess its better than people who argue over music genres and which band is better and all the other typical youtube conversations

[Samh9]

It is. There are a lot of idiots out there, and they all thrive on YouTube.
