He did something similar when I saw him at the Roseland in Portland a few years ago, and he kept yelling at some drunk douche in the audience who was trashing about, but the dude wasn't even looking at the stage, so he had to keep yelling, "HEY, UP HERE! LOOK OVER HERE, ASSHOLE!"
I swear, that man has the patience of a saint to deal with so many irritating assholes.
I just saw Claypool on Sunday in Santa Cruz. He stopped the show to call out some guy shoving people around. And then at some kid who was super high on drugs and was annoying everyone around him. Amazing show.
Bravo Mr. Claypool! You are a great musician and a very generous individual that calls it like you see it. You set a good example here by doing what you did.
oh shit there is a video of this..yeah i was really drunk and on 2 hits of some low grade acid and i thought there was alot of flies around me so i was trying to get them away and i kept on hitting the people around me and i guess this bothered les...sorry les.
dont even get me started man, i would love too..i would love to fuck the living shit out of her and turn her inside out and shread that pussy into peices and just fucking eat whats left of her go damm..and thats just a quicky..
Holy shit, I was at this show. It's at the house of blues in dallas. The guy was EXTREMELY drunk, I wasn't behind him or anything, but I clearly saw him. He was pushing people and being extremely obnoxious. Les Claypool didn't even kick him out, but the guy ended up leaving soon after anyway.
Beautiful!!! If on the slim to none chance that Les, you should read this, good for you.... Don't Fucking put up with this crap. Go to a show, enjoy it and don't ruin it for the person beside you. Simple.... unless your just a DUMBASS that has to have basic social etiquette explained to him.
if i was playing a show with my band and some fucktard like came onstage and fucked with my kit or something like that I would shove a drumstick up his ass
I wish more bands would do this. I can think of a handful of post-hiatus Phish shows where they should have just stopped and said something to the crowd.
There have been many occasions when I've watched a certain member of a band on stage watching an audience member with a look of disgust. And dodging glowsticks hurled at you on purpose and then people throwing glowsticks at your guitar as it sits on in stand on stage during setbreak are grounds for removal. As far as I'm concerned.
man i went to my first concert 3/21/09 for les and some guy wouldnt SIT DOWN!! my dads friend threw change at him and he freaked out and left it was sooo funni until a fat guy sat in front of me but les played an awesome show someone even threw something up there (i think a shirt) and he was so funni about it!! i <3 him!!
Lat time Primus played the Hult Center here in Eugene some people kept flashing Les some stupid sign they made and all Les said was.. "Yes I've seen it.. very nice thank you.. But if you'd just stick it in your pocket now I'm sure the people behind you would be very appreciative.." What a class act!
