One Better - Les Claypool

[567n5]

The video is an excerpt of the short "Kontsert porgandipirukale" (Concert for a Carrot Pie) (2002) by Heiki Ernits and Janno Põldma, so hardly this video is official. Anyway both things, animation and music are great.

[T16Akatsuki]

this video still a better plot than jersey shore, twilight, and both fred movies

[Gopercok]

God bless the fucking bass in this song!!!! Les Claypool, what a guy!!

[ronnym768]

The woman in the purple shirt actually has some pretty awesome tits if you pay attention

[MrMcDangervideos]

[TheJacker23]

[epicperson1803]

Damn fly!

[branzuela45]

[matrixzfa]

[FlightofMartyrs]

On the 8th Day, God said "im gonna get me one better"...... so he created Les Claypool.....

[Bo0meRs1]

titties and beer

[sqeakgeek]

Very "Sally Crunkshank" but good!!

[ratfink702]

You simply cannot get "one better" than Les.

[jackcdempsey]

I WANT THAT CAT

[waarde2]

0:15 Planking!

[Anim8edDeath]

[spookycorp]

Now why would some junk-fuck disliked this? 23 retards so far.

[KpSpiritedAway23]

@spookycorp TWENTY THREE!!!

[jagerphish]

weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee



[JacobLOLPitkofsky]

Not "Chinese satallites" its "shiny new satellites"

[smashrhythm]

im pertty sure les made this clip him self. he is a animator, painter, sculptor, glassblower, movie director, actor, drummer and i dont know what else other than being the coolest bass player known to man i think his talent is boundless.

[TruthSeekinOne]

@smashrhythm this is an old russian cartoon that coincidentally goes with the song. enjoy!

[fishyfish420]

i saw him play this song live, it was even more amazing. his kids came out wearing monkey masks and shot confetti into the crowd.

[ObeseChess]

what the hell did I just watch?

[psychoticparaplegic]

@ObeseChess

The visual embodiment of awesome, along with the audiological embodiment of awesome. Dat.

[angelodaBarbarian]

@ObeseChess God on an acid trip, contemplating whether or not to restart the big bang.

[nolannnrockkkkkwe]

crunchy groove

[peacelovemusic08]

Is this official?

If not, what is this video from?

[Canaveral305]

@peacelovemusic08 It is official. Les - with Primus or not - has always had awesome music videos.

[TomAce200]

@peacelovemusic08 Pretty sure it's official since the Phantom Patriot video has similar artwork

[ConstuctionShredify]

22 people need to fucking die!

[tommythecat55]

wheres the bass solo? the song is too short, get the real version please!!

[Chr1sda4]

@tommythecat55 The whole song is pretty much a giant bass solo.

[deadrckstr]

According to cleverbot, this is its favorite song. strange.

[Courageismydog]

This song is about The cold war, just listen to the lyrics and compare, always gunna get e one better cause i got the biggest balls in town, the policy of brinkanship, they would get to the brink of war and then pretty much play chicken. sputnik was put into space by ussr during cold war, chinese satelites, china was comunest and converted by ussr. also everyone has the saeportions of food, as for comunism.

[raerwin72]

@Courageismydog no im pretty sure les is 100% random, just look at everything else hes done :)

[Courageismydog]

[JmanNo42]

Well see chinese ufo 2010 and ponder what the video is about.

Inertial propulsion.

I gone give you one better, just you wait and see, you can't get past me. The best one around.

[wackag]

wonder what les was smoking to achieve this

[jackcdempsey]

@wackag What WASN'T he smoking is the question :D

[skateboardNsnow44]

Animators from CatDog?

[ShootTheKidzAtSchool]

Wow!! Magnifique!

[MrBassBrookes]

This is what happens when everyone around you believes in what you do, you have a sympathetic group of musicians to work with and when you say, "What rules, I don't do rules". Leslie Edward, we love you.

[hyattwarris]

22 people lost their teeth.

[Kyllleur]

1:37 Oo' a pig in the sky? :D

[FrancisTrafton]

les is the best hands down

[vbouverat]

Claypool sucks

[ausphenpfiefen]

@vbouverat I'd like to see you play better than he can, faggot.

[illfortune921]

@vbouverat

well your fat

[n00bt00bpr0ducti0ns]

Les Claypool is like the Buckethead of bass,Extremely weird and extremely talented...

[FanOfThings96]

@n00bt00bpr0ducti0ns Les Claypool is Les Claypool of Les Claypool. What I meen is that I havent heard anything like Claypools music. Its rather strange, but amazing. I like Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin, but I still find Les amazing

[n00bt00bpr0ducti0ns]

@FanOfThings96 Same.



[benmarvin57]

20 IGNORANT PEOPLE,THIS SHIT IS FUNKY GROOVY AND BAD ASS

[jakoson7]

why does the old man have a cutlass? fucking samurai

[nystedrulez21]

@jakoson7 more of like a fucking pirate.

[HDE123ful]

Check out Earth Blues by Hendrix. Both of them rock.

[alexj897]

what is the video from?

[SpaceWrangler420]

This is my driving music here

[thelegendofbob]

so damn amazing/weird

[black1swan2green3]

This is what i imagine tripping your balls on acid is like.

[LuckyJakeTheHaloGuy]

i wish this had the trumpet solo

[ThatRandomGuy325]

Les is more.

[Whitemofoproductions]

im so confused

[Ryuo579]

@Whitemofoproductions That's exactly what I was going to say...

[WVliberty]

i remember when this video only had 10,00 hits, bout time its close to a half mil,

[draigenkan]

So every morning there's an eclipse? Haha

[RainbowLogic]

These comments suck!

[marcushelbling]

kind of reminds me of rocco's modern life and fritz the cat.

[BOCHUNKS]

I'm gonna play my Bass worser

But it sounds to me just fine

I'm gonna play my Bass worser

While Les just blows my mind

[grungeisdead2008]

oh i get it.... no.... no wait.... no.

[nosecone33]

This dosnt make any sense but is still freaking awesome!

[theblitzkrieginblob]

I have no clue how this video relates to the lyrics, but this song is friggin' amazin.

[RTDURAZO]

my mind is now made up. les claypool is the most brilliant man alive

[zachbdude]

I FINALLY UNDERSTAND THIS VIDEO! not really, i just wanted to be one of those people who thinks they are a philosipher on youtube...

[plopnod]

There was a cartoon called 'Flytales' used for time filler between movies on one of the Canadian movie channels some years ago....does anybody know if this is the same animators?This song KICKS!!!!

[iMartger]

This cartoon has an swedish feel to it.

[ASSLICKERADAS]

@iMartger Overall European cartoon feel, really.

[fendermaxime]

sounds like an old rhcp tune

[sociopathix]

@fendermaxime weak, it sounds like a les claypool tune, sounds nothing like flea. Fleas slap style is way different.

[Poonard]

@fendermaxime no.

[ColonelPrimus]

@fendermaxime If Flea Shot Up a ton of Methamphetamine than perhaps your right

[Kindergoth]

Who is the animator for this-its awesome!

[Poonard]

@Kindergoth could be Les himself, he does brag on his animation skills from time to time.

[reciporkate]

who did this video?

[donkeyface69]

this video is about les claypool's trip on some kind of psychoactive drug after listening to the song for inspiration. hence the flies and the saxophone going together. i have to be close on this assumption.

[lesterclaypool1]

@donkeyface69 really ? 

[BabsBunnii14]

Brilliant video! Pure entertainment!

[MyThirdUserAccount]

This visual and auditory masterpiece is clearly an agreement of perpetual and/or circumstantial evolutionary theories between two unseen yet needed entities which are abundant in life reference and nostalgic, soft, homey feelings of euphoria and bliss.

Or something...

[Chancelott]

HA! Totally Claypool Cat, Slick...

[kingturkey2]

At about 3:45 I realized my mouth was open.

[roehee1234]

@kingturkey2  2:11 for me lol

[Jpcook12]

@kingturkey2 it's only 21 to 1113. Who cares =)

[Jpcook12]

@kingturkey2 it's only 21 to 1113. A person who doesn't realize this just isn't part of the 1113 yet. LOL

[ThatRandomGuy325]

@kingturkey2 I know right?

[TheGiantRabbit]

@kingturkey2

to consume claypools metaphoricly cum

[TheGooglymoogly24]

great video..les sucks!

[Sapov]

eh? this looks like discovery kids

[MrAbawmidabull]

this is fucking bonkers

[punkaholicz]

wtf, its so epic!

[TrapezoidalDinosaur]

Goddamn this animation is slick.

[AntiChris1996]

this video has less to do with the song than telephone :P

[ManDudeYeah]

Without Les Claypool, I wouldn't be a musician. Much less would I be the bass player that I am today. Other than Carl Sagan, Les is the only individual that has profoundly changed my life. Great guy and an unreal bassist, long live sir Claypool

[andyofcomixinc]

@ManDudeYeah His imagination is unparalled :)

[superstriker00]

@ManDudeYeah He's the best bassist, I love listening to him.

[cameronj279]

@ManDudeYeah agreed.....except not the bass player i am today (i'm terrible) but learning lol

[JmanNo42]

It is about whale engines

[andyofcomixinc]

This is my favorite song on the Of Whales and Woe album. Fantastic stuff. 

[ilovegibsons1]

les isnt even human hes like a hybrid slapping machine and this is an absoluteley insane video

[Sapov]

oh, dissapointing video for a great song

[sociopathix]

@Sapov whats wrong with the video, other then the fact that they skipped the solos.

[ASSLICKERADAS]

I got high and watched this, and the experience was great, until the cat-maestro showed up, that thing was fucking scary!

[MasterrFlamaster]

@funnystuff1284

This video is about Les' genius mind

[ketchupisevil]

Anyone know what the original song is?

[sociopathix]

@ketchupisevil This is the original song. Its called One Better

[Puppybarf]

Simply FANTASTIC. Les is MY God.

[fftlguy]

anyone calling les a fucking loser or simple or anything like that is an ass who thinks they are cool, so fuck off

[AdobePhsyko]

Les HAD to have been Inspired by Frank Zappa. I've never heard him talk on the subject.

[sociopathix]

@AdobePhsyko he has said he was inspired by zappa.

[AdobePhsyko]

@sociopathix Thanks for the info.  I figured as much but didnt know for a fact

[ilovegibsons1]

@sociopathix totally zappa would be proud

[TPCrackerman]

I wonder how much LSD Claypool did when he made this video.

[CK3890]

@TPCrackerman Knowing Les Claypool, I bet he wasn't on LSD and this is just the shit he sees normally when he closes his eyes.

[sociopathix]

@TPCrackerman he actually didnt make the video, its some old russian cartoon or something.

[Pluvio]

If I were God, I would give this guy another couple of arm to play drums

[ThatRandomGuy325]

@Pluvio i'd give 2 more so he can play a banjo!

[TT8073]

How can 20 people not like this song?!

[MrNormalton]

@TT8073 They must be Republicans

[mdrndrum]

shrooms

[deucekus]

that old guy sure has alot of moths in his head....

should probably see a doctor. LES CLAYPOOL KICKs ASS ON THE BASS

[jamesskater]

les claypools music blows cock sooooo bad, but there is a song or two with cool lyrics, the other songs are ignorant and very simple.

[Tolgo999]

@jamesskater The only thing that "blows cock sooooo bad" is your "ignorant" mom.

Yep, "simple" as that.

[TRMcGeeXXX]

@jamesskater

You're full of shit...

[achickensandwich]

@jamesskater You can call Les Claypool many things, but ignorant and simple you can not.

[LadySaanum93]

@jamesskater whats wrong with you?

[sociopathix]

@15TIMMEH Les has a few bands named after him and hes always the bassist:

Les claypool (Fungi band, and Fancy band)

Col. claypools flying frog brigade

Les claypool and the holy mackrael.

Col.Claypools bucket of bernie brains

[krstko]

wtf?!? xD nice song ... love bass

[sluterry]

@15TIMMEH

its a carl thmpson that makes all of les's basses except back in the day he sometimes used a fender but never with anything that good, aside form the two songs wynonas big brown beaver and riddles are abound tonight.

[sociopathix]

@sluterry he uses more then just carl thompson, he also has a rickenbacker, bassjo, dorber, acoustic, stand ups all not made by CT.

[sluterry]

@sociopathix

well sorry, i thought you meant in this song......... he mainly uses the CT basses i mean i certainlly wouldnt be using a rickenbacker if i hgad CT basses, ask carl thompson himself he will give you more than enough reasons to not like rickenbackers, one fo the worst built instruments ever, the standup he uses is a spector, and yes he has a fender or two, but all in all most of all of his recording and everytime i have seen him live he has used CT, spector upright, bassjo, whamola

[sociopathix]

@sluterry I never said rickenbacker was better then CT. I wish I had a CT. I was just saying he uses more then just his CT. He keeps his rickenbacker around because it was a gift from his friend alex lifeson who was sponsered by ricken.

[Haraxys]

3:43

LoL, awesome ^^

[CoolKodiak]

Most respect to the best bass player ever created...

Did u thank ur parents Les, they gave u the right genes.

[CoolKodiak]

[BuDzManson]

[sirpc2]

[MrGnomemeat]

lmfao. great song, great video.

now it's time to take a bonghit and watch it again.

if this song comes on at a party, i will dance my little soul away.

[SynesthesicVision]

this always makes me feel like dancing, and I can't dance.

[sociopathix]

@SynesthesicVision Thats the best part about funk. You dont need to be able to dance to get your funk on!

[crazyedd123]

[romanoverlord2]

amazing song.

[funnystuff1284]

anyone who says they know what this video is about is a liar lol

[WVliberty]

i remember somebody said it was a russki cartoon, they posted back when it only had 20000 hits

[funnystuff1284]

that doesnt meant they know what the hell is going on

[WVliberty]

true true, but it has a russki look to its, the characters and all

[funnystuff1284]

ya those crazy russians lol

[WVliberty]

coolest thing about Russia is that emos are illegal there lol

[funnystuff1284]

i doubt that is true but that would be awesome if it was

[WVliberty]

well they proposed to ban it but i dont think they made it into law

[alttari]

it could be i have seen a show in finnish tv that looks kind like (or is) this many years ago
