[eccho13]

Haha, it's awesome how quick he can go into the song after realizing his mic broke.

Btw, what's he using on his bass? An envelope filter?

[Canaveral305]

Haha, Les's mic not working. I love how they go back into the song so fast, like nothing happened.

[superstriker00]

[ZeppelinHendrix420]

Dude, Mr. Krinkle.

[hectorleon87]

check check check haha

[bambirose22]

on this video and about 5 min. and 58 sec that was me the girl with the black hair i was on my boyfriends shoulders and he kept bouncing around!! it was fun kick ass show les rocks!!!

[apothead]

im going this year could u give some advice

[gubgub1234]

the reason a lot of people don't think of les as much of a drug user, is because he doesn't act all retarded or brag about it.

like ICP or the Cottonmouth Kings are crazy about pot, but Les just mentions drugs like its no big deal.

plus, his craziness isn't just from drugs. even when he's lucid, he's weird, but thats just the way he is. he doesn't have to be high or anything to be cool or weird.

[Samaflame]

Word. Les admits he still tokes with his friends although he has stopped taking LSD since his kids were born. But many songs are about LSD like Final Voyage of the Liquid Sky and Over the Electric grapevine

[walkingdeadhead20]

A lot of old primus is about using drugs. Just look at their album covers, they are all clay animation which is the way shit looks when your tripping. Well, at least it did for me and my friends.

[swooshboosh]

What a silly genius

[zack2703]

I never thought of Les Claypool as much of a drug user.

[trainteeth]

me either

[zack2703]

I mean like, sure he is crazy(in a awesome way) and writes awesomly weird lyrics but still, i wouldent expect him to be using mushrooms.Oh well, as long as it doesnt kill his life.

[whitenir]

really? I think he makes it pretty apparent, over the electric grapevine is about being on shrooms, tweeking is being fucked up on meth, laquerhead, spaghetti western is about smoking pot while watching tv every night instead of being employed. a good amount of his songs are about drug use, so wouldn't ya think he would do em?

Not to be condenscending or mean, just making a point.

[mrunluckytrese]

Lacquerhead had an anti-drug message though... from what I've heard... if Les was doing that kinda stuff, his mustache would be like on his forehead...

of coarse, MTV won't understand that...

[rhombusskullvsteal]

in DMV there is a reference to smoking weed too.

[Kirleyhair]

laquerhead is actually an anti-drug song

[GuitaristD]

not on the DVD

i'm not happy about it

this was my favorite

[Justinmcn]

lol i love his face at :19

[Justinmcn]

0:19

[SuperCrashRocknRoll]

Awesome!

[BritaniaRuleAgain]

Is that Brian Kehoe on the guitar?

[tremans]

No, its his old band-mate MIRV.

[bagelbruin]

@tremans

That is Brian Kehoe! He was the guitarist for the band MIRV

[tremans]

@bagelbruin Yes, I know Brian played in the band MIRV, but this is the man Mirv playing. Trust me, I was Mirv's guitar tech for this show. (that's me on the side of the stage in the black tank top)

[TheyWontFightBack]

Anyone know who Les's drummer is?

[NecroticInnuendo]

The dude from Cake.

What's his face.

[Steve9842007]

Paulo Baldi.

[lsoprimus]

Harmonics ,lots of gain, and his famed three finger technique. Love Claypool great man.

[bass14master814]

anybody know how Les does that intro. thing?

[jsb2277]

yeah. hes les fucking claypool

[deeeeeznoo]

its just triplets with three fingers and really sensitive pickups/fuzz

[synkronyk]

with his fingers.....

[NINandNirvana]

Heres a way for you to kinda get it. Get a slide and a guitar, slide past the fretboard (over the body), play a really high note. Now do it without the slide (might take a bit of getting used to to get the note to sound properly. Then try it on a bass.

[synkronyk]

Why are you trying to explain it to me???

i wasn't confused????

[hairyhairy2x4]

it is the 13th time he's played at bonnaroo

[Silentlamb13]

wheres claypools fancy band

[ElQuesoDiablo]

Seriously. Good question. Those guys are awesome.

[mflax55]

he has played with different bands and different sets at roo

[joshuamb]

What you really don't understand is how Les Claypool operates....

[polishpirate123]

haha mushrooms

[LedZep4554]

PRIMUS SUCKS! haha. His mic fucked up a lot that show, he was stuck using the bullet mic for a while. Didn't really bother me though.

I think i spent more time at Les than i did at any other set. Cause hes the fuckin shit

[14thSonofBrahman]

i think les claypool has to be one of the most unique human beings ever to hatch from an egg.

[shawndnypl]

Obviously this isn't Primus. This is Les's current solo outing, not sure the name at this exact minute though..>Frog Brigade? Fancy Band? No one can argue Les is the man though.

[FenderJazz]

No shit Sherlock!

Of course it's not Primus, and also not Frogs and Fancy.

The name of this band is just: Les Claypool.

[RooHole]

When you're done with shawn, can I pee in his butt?

Roo the humble

[madyetiattack]

actually that looks like the guitarist from the holy mackerel/MIRV, bassist from MIRV on the cello, drummer from frog brigade. This is actually I think, my favorite version of rumble. much better than with gabby la la on some shitty sitar. Though I wish his sax guy skerik was around because he is so sick.

[polishpirate123]

bob cock

[calilovezky]

freaking awesome show!!!

[stellarinc23]

hahahaha. i was frying as well and this was a great show. good follow up to umphreys

[Danimalson]

I was frying out of my mind on mushrooms !!! Best fucking show ever in my live !!!! BONNAROOOOOOOOOOOO

[ttom925]

I was there !!

I was the guy who said BONNAROOOO !!!!!!

If you didn't know , that was me !

[steveo6272]

Hail the brigade.

[RooHole]

bonnnn-a-roooooooooooooooooooo­ooooo
