Riddles Are Abound Tonight

[tilesetterify]

Who is that girl doing sign language in the video? Ive seen her before on a tv show or movie and I cant remember what

[Wyliman]

@tilesetterify That's Chaney Claypool, Les' wife.

[fallingtopeices92]

i remember the first time i heard this

Beavis and Butthead man

[SHARPtattoo]

only from the mind of les claypool!

[JefferstChmilst]

Well I know what I want for christmas now!! ...a big... fuckin purple bike tower thing..

[oracle19]

Ladies and gentlemen, the Seminefrious Tubloidial Buttnoids have left your pants!

[mackbee628]

So if it's dark inside your butt, ummm.... how do the turds find their way out?

[mackbee628]

Uhhhhh... I think they can see in the dark. Huh-huh. Huh-huh.

[jaydavee]

I had one of those metal neck Kramer guitars here for a few days. It's one of the worst guitars I've ever played.

[thewickedwizard]

@jaydavee That's not a Kramer, it's a Travis Bean.

[jaydavee]

@thewickedwizard The Kramer metal neck ones have headstocks like what is shown in this video. I looked at the Travis Bean ones and they have a T symbol headstock cutout... there's a flat metal bit above the V to form a T. This one looks like the Kramer I had.

[VegaOmega23]

Screw the bowflex or the treadclimer. I want to use The Seminefrious Tubloidial Buttnoids 5000 machine for my exercise needs!

[unicron24]

again? and a gain..

[unicron24]

for some reason i cant seem to stop listining to this song...so sweet.simple but sweet..thanks for the post

[MrChunkyass69]

Les claypool cant write a bad bass riff. It's truly incredible.

[cortneydream]

The 3 tiers represent the social classes. The lower row consists of the most unfortunate (handicapped, not just physically) and their attire symbolizes antiquation. The next level (movers & shakers) dominates the underclass because they are up to date & dance to their own beat, which is inconsistent w/the music. The artists are the apex of society that have a leg-up on everyone because they ascend through the membrane of existence to reach the akashic records & make the power/light.Illuminati?

[namelessguy93]

@cortneydream On-set, Kohr described the video as a metaphor; the band representing "the gods... above the blue sky... pedalling the works of the universe", their music filtering down through "the black goddess woman... the personification of the sensuality within the music" until it reaches "Mother Earth, communicating the lines of the music to the people... adults, but they're little kids. So basically, we're teaching the kids how to dance."[5]

[namelessguy93]

@cortneydream Claypool, on the other hand, said "I just thought it would look cool... like a giant penis, and we were the blue sperm." (Both quotes from Wikipedia)

[pmtackett14]

Every time i listen to a song off the Riddles Are Abound Tonight album I think of the show Rocko's Modern Life. I dont know why.

[basicphenomenon]

@pmtackett14 Me too...

[niminiminimnim]

Les teeth are hot!

[unicron24]

@niminiminimnim les is long in the tooth

[hdealsy]

@niminiminimnim is it weird that i actually do think that?

[niminiminimnim]

@hdealsy

Define "weird" :)

And you know what they say: When the going gets weird the weirdos turn pro!

(original quote from Hunter S. I believe)

Weirdo wonderful 4-ever!

[Pissugar]

@niminiminimnim yeah all toasters toast toast too and you don't see me braggin' 'bout it

[blackangel2419]

good



[beefystik]

In mythical times, Les Claypool = God Of The Bass Guitar

[FallInIntrigue]

its the woody wood pecker laugh, lol that woman doing hand-sign is beautiful,yet haunting!

[unicron24]

@FallInIntrigue what is she saying in sign language?

[bojanks15]

this is tight as fuck

[FallInIntrigue]

woody wood pecker!!



[unicron24]

what is she sayin in sign language???

[kravens001]

nice to meet you again les.. we met for like 20 secs in the nineties..:) i rap.

[SaweetTooth]

RITE

[unicron24]

sweet post,,,,,

[ToolahTheGreat]

This has to be potentially one of the weirdest music videos ever.

[blaineyboots]

I dig Les Claypool's teeth. It makes me feel better about being British.

[namizmo]

I'm pretty sure this is the video that inspired Mike Judge to come up with Beavis' Cornholio character! :-P

[erasermcfleafly]

0:20

[CrystalTrees5mcs]

is this video as good as wynonas big brown beaver! i think yes!

[rumhead666]

Thats Todd Huth. He was Primus' guitarist before Ler came along.

I saw Sausage open for Rollins in St. Louis back in 1942. ;)

[StimpoTube]

@rumhead666 what kinda geetar is todd playing??

[jontheplatypus]

@StimpoTube I think it's a Kramer 250G aluminum neck guitar. It could be one of the other brands that made aluminum necks in the 90s, though. Could possibly be Vaccaro or Travis Bean...but the body/pickguard looks like the Kramer 250G.

[djkilmore1]

2,3,4..."what the hell was that", and then straight into epicness.

[HamburgerTrain]

1:16 LOL Claypool :D

[kountjackula]

hellz yes the sminifrious tubloidial buttnoids

[bigald1]

Butt-head: What the hell is this? Beavis: Um, I think this is Primus. Butt-head: No, this is the Seminefrious Tubloidial Buttnoids. Beavis: Really? Butt-head: These guys, like, crawl up into people's butts, and, like, go exploring. Beavis: We should see these guys in concert. Butt-head: Yeah. Ladies and gentlemen, the Seminefrious Tubloidial Buttnoids. Beavis: The Seminefrious Tubloidial Buttnoids have left your pants.

[Teriblthundrlzrd]

@bigald1 Man I forgot all about that. Thanks helping me recall a great memory. The Seminefrious Tubloidal Buttnoids RULE, the F-ing RULE!

[Teriblthundrlzrd]

@bigald1 Man I forgot all about that. Thanks for helping me recall a great memory. The Seminefrious Tubloidal Buttnoids RULE, the F-ing RULE!

[chickenbiscito]

I love primus style of guitar playing, of course les rocks, but the guitar has always been a nostalgic memory thing for me, it sounds like surfing rock music guitar or ren & stimpy outro theme or just an old style of guitar playing, i like it, i found out about sausage after i bought les claypools dvd that came out, pretty cool primus came out with a few new songs on "animals should not act like people" or whatever it was lol

[chezjdleclubvideo]

AAAAHHHH! My teacher once showed me this video telling me it was primus... and guess what it took me months discovering the truth and I finally see this video again !

[Jaketacular420]

Actually, it's explained in the making of by the director I think. The spherical room they are in is the universe, the musicians at the top of the tower are as gods, the dancing black chick is some kind of goddess and the people at the bottom are humans. The musicians are controlling the gears of time and space etc. and giving the humans music.

[Jaketacular420]

Gotta watch the making of the video on "5 Gallons of Diesel" its awesome

[iheartjimothy]

Jimothy hearts this.

PRAISE THIS MAN.

[thewhitezombie666]

oh i get it, angler fish have the light hanging in front of their faces, and les claypool is an avid angler, it all makes sense...but is still weird...but weird is good.

[EvoVaiflO]

they look like pikmin.lol

[ThePlaidpoodle]

YAY there BACK <3 <3 <3 <3

[ThePlaidpoodle]

Holey Cannoli you brought'm back <3 <3 <3

[elchristo7205]

goddamn wish i could drive that thing to work every day

[chickenbiscito]

i love the ren and stpy'ish guitar, les claypool is the man :D

[butheadVSbevus]

Awesome I never knew Sausage had a video.

[Bulldog22031]

HA HAWWYEA!

[bladdbank]

what kind of guitar is that?

[sluterry]

@bladdbank

its a kramer, i like the kramer 8 string vintage, its a beast, but yeah aluminium neck and the such on it, quite nifty little instruments

[VladFerdinand1]

what the hell did i just watch?? hahaha that was so weird in a good way :P

[sociopathix]

@VladFerdinand1 what did you just watch? You just watch the visions of the Gods.

[sociopathix]

Les claypool is the master of blowing peoples minds.

[Wierdoinc]

Love the guitar in this song

[akrulla]

I saw him last night at the Koko, it was brilliant!! They played this and my favourite....Cosmic Highway!

[MrDenham]

Was there too, couldn't believe some the songs on that setlist........Awesome

[akrulla]

Who wants to go to Dee's diner? "I do!"

That was awsome!

[MrDenham]

Found it weird to hear those songs, a rare treat to see Mr. Claypool do is thing

[knoxlobster]

@MrDenham + all you folks at the koko show, southbound pachyderm man!!! i could not beleive it.

[BountyHunter233]

@akrulla that was a great show i was soo pumped when i got back home i played bass all through the night

[Wingeritis]

what a gig! whamola, makalaster it was excellent.......i do remember les saying "this is not tommy the cat"

[akrulla]

@Wingeritis

Yeah, man quality! "Anyone with a small penis make your way over to this guy and you can make a small penins amoeba" lmao.

[BooHeSha]

Les I love your world!

[polishpirate123]

What was that last bit

Rite

[mrunluckytrese]

i think the beggining to "here's to the man". at least thats what the music is.

[independent30m]

This is the music group Sausage not Primus still sounds fresh today and i believe this song was written before Primus got big.Then they went back and made the video much later after the sucess of Primus.Dont quote me on that lol but i believe thats correct

[yellofury]

saw Sausage when they toured with Helmet and Rollins Band .... Sausage pretty much blew them all away.. amazing show

[sociopathix]

I dont think this particular song was written with primate (original primus which is sausage) But some of them were written prior to primus your right.

[ChristusDefaeco]

odd to see les without that carl thompson haha

[polishpirate123]

which one?

Haha!

[nrwhite6325]

The woman signing is his now wife.

[viper914]

deaf twin sister of his wife actually

[IndoorKilla]

I guess the real question is, Can you play bass and ride a stationary bike?

[NitroDragster426]

hey is that tim and larry?

[HandiAce]

@NitroDragster426

I believe Les is playing with his former members, Jay Lane (drummer) and Todd Huth (guitarist)

[Ichorid55]

no, it's the original Primus lineup: Les, Jay and Todd

[nrwhite6325]

@NitroDragster426 Nah, Jane Lane and Todd Huth.

[havelava]

Your name is nitro and you comment on a les claypool video

[thepordage]

he once told me he loved a shark.

i had been warned not to hassle him lest i be thrown out and can't get back in to set up for the gig.

[Sephychu]

I wonder what les claypool smells like?

[Brog9]

I have smelled Mr Claypool. I''m not even kidding

[sociopathix]

well what did he smell like?

[Brog9]

Burning rabbits and ammonia.

[bojanks15]

@Brog9 i bet he smelt like god

[Pluh88]

Burnt Taco's and Cabbage

[VaporCycle]

What kind of jazz bass is that? Deluxe?

[bowelrock]

No way dude its an old 70s jazz :0

[bowelrock]

With EMG transplants

[SchmoopMan]

why is embending disabled! why o great one!

[Rptyle]

You're better off buying/renting 5 Gallons of Diesel. It has this vid, plus his side projects live in one dvd.

[Crackmonkey213]

they are the T

[primussucks]

don't ever slate claypool or a whale will touch you in your sleep.

[The3rdFloorKidsBand]

I might add,sounds awesome!

[The3rdFloorKidsBand]

Very creative. Thats always great.

[jameshippiekid]

Haha, love the begging.

2,3,4.........What the hell was that?

[skinnydoggyz]

how can you say les claypool is the best bassist ever and not like what he plays you're contradicting yourself. no stairway to heaven here man you don't belong on this page because you don't understand the innovative genius of claypool

[CoolKodiak]

Awesome

[junoxtc]

seminiferous tubloidial buttnoids!

[DaedricLavaWhiskey]

lolwut...

[1LedZepplin1]

this is the gayest fucking thing i have ever seen! why did these homos make sutch a gay band, les claypool is porbably the best bassist ever to live and yet he makes this shet.

[DaedricLavaWhiskey]

first thing explain to me the definition of gay and tell me why this is gay in the first place... is it because they are dressed like blue sperms? well its pretty awesome if you ask me

[mrunluckytrese]

i think they are supposed to be angler fish...at least thats what they looked like to me.

[1LedZepplin1]

No, nowadays gay is used to describe stuff that is stupid beyond reason... They are freaks except for claypool and hes a crappy singer.

[TheBassJackson]

Dude, you need to stop trying to be big macho man, its good to be a little bit weird, Claypool is just really weird. I'm sure John Bohnham would be proud to be a part of anything with Les!

[GstaHomie]

Without this song, there would be no Cornholio. So think twice next time before posting without any knowledge of anything.

[DaedricLavaWhiskey]

Explain...

[sociopathix]

Youtube wont allow the amount of characters in one message box that i need to explain how stupid you are so im just going to point and laugh at my computer screen.

[primussucks]

damn fine

[DaedricLavaWhiskey]

haha same here i got a bass cuzza him

[Webbula]

The version on Live Frogs is ten times better!

[thebeargod23]

FUCK.........how is that a question?

[jordanlannert1]

0:21

Les still hasn't fixed them teeth haha

[fistacorpse]

haha can't spell Zeppelin.

[1LedZepplin1]

oh and btw 1Led Zeppelin1 was alreadt taken so stfu

[1LedZepplin1]

this is like the fekking worst band ive ever heard yet they have one of the best bass players to grace the planet! heres a tip to make them beasty. get a singer instead of these shitlings and also get a new song writer!

[HSThompson]

Ha, ur a tool

[coby1007]

I'll excuse that comment assuming you have no pubes

[aftermathfool]

Seriously.. I need this album.

[coby1007]

It's called Sausage - Riddles are Abound Tonight i believe

[Pbirv]

@coby1007 "They're the Semineferous Tubloidial Buttnoids, you know, those explorers who like, go up people's butts, and stuff?"- Beavis and Butthead

[MrAnybody]

Is the victorian woman signing the lyrics??

[Kibbles113]

Les Claypool = monster rapist ofs thes bass guitars

[njezrider]

Sausage Riddles !

[TheColbles2009]

Les Claypool is an amazing bass guitar player.

[butterygrape]

that bass riff he occasionally plays is the sound woody woodpecker makes.

[Jeezers13]

This is not primus this is Sausage......

[theonlybyrone]

Actually, this is the original Primus lineup. Jay Lane and Todd Huth were the original Primus. If you look in the liner notes of Frizzle Fry, you will see that most of the guitar melodies are credited to Todd Huth.

[BIGCJMCNASTY]

Sausage are the original members of Primus.

[juniorsenior9]

shroom trip!

[kingdonk]

Haha I remember seeing this video on Beavis and Butthead a long time ago.

[wesjoe311]

Seminifrious Tubloidial Buttnoids.

[Ubergood2go]

Hung out with Jay Lane in Louisville, KY...fuckin' great dude!!! And a drummer I look to still today...listen to what he does on that HH!!!! DAYUM!!!

[rnav]

so in essence.......this is Primus?

[bassmaster211]

sort of... its the original primus members before ler and tim alexander

[wesjoe311]

You're right. But, this is one of the "side projects" during the Ler and Tim years.

[fryBASS]

Wait... there's a video for "Here's to the Man?" Let's see it man!

[viper914]

Les defines cool

[aJazzcat]

i never knew they made a video for this song

[matheuslcintra]

i prefer this then primus. This is much more funky, you really enjoy the song

[ghostchild1979]

This is not Primus. This is Sausage. This was released during the Primus days as a side project.

[wealljammin]

but they are the original members of primus

[xBillyTheKidx]

why do they call this band something else other than primus if it's just the original members of primus reunited..

[wealljammin]

i think it was just a demo tape with the songs from the riddles album that they passed out at shows, called "sausage" and they got turned into the riddles album by sausage. could be wrong, but i heard it from somewhere that i trusted

[BIGCJMCNASTY]

cuz he was using the name Primus with the other members so they decided to go with the name of their first demo tape. pretty much legal reasons

[BIGCJMCNASTY]

good old original Primus. they look like those fish with those glowing dots on their heads. they use to catch prey

[HornDave]

Angler fish

[BIGCJMCNASTY]

yes thank you

[NewAspectDirector]

wish I could make stuff like that!!

and is that les's wife??

[FenderJazz]

Actually her twin sister. And she is deaf.

And that's not a joke.

[NewAspectDirector]

oh dear thats not kool,well supose it would explain the sign language,thought it was just a directorial addition.

thanks for the info man!!

How did you get the info?

[FenderJazz]

Primus Bull Board forum a couple of years ago.

[NewAspectDirector]

Ah ok kool thanks man!

[cluclumaster]

les' wife does not look anything like that lady
