[wayward4now]

I bet when he gets older he'll look like Doctor John. Hey, worse things could happen. 

[jasonscottable]

weirdest sounding freak ass shit ive probably ever heard

[spiralcosmosart]

Genius political sabotage --- not that sarah Palin isn't her own worse enemy, but definitely put her in her place.

[godofthunder1681]

it sucked after 3:14 =/

[crazyedd123]

les sounds scary in this song.

i want one of those masks though!

[sandman45lam]

@crazyedd123 so do i im going to wear it for Halloween and i sound like that when im sick lol 

[qw27]

It just fucking hit me. Totally reminds of Tom Waits

[FanOfThings96]

Her tits are going green

[robs70986987]

[flymarvin]

Bom Biddy Bom Bom

[ftfnavyseals]

[MrOllieKennedy]

[MrOllieKennedy]

Its pure "the residents"

[Undeadjester410]

@Smillzer Well shit.. I think they already came through here though.. Well damn xD I want to go see their goddamn show haha

[Undeadjester410]

I'm so glad he made another band, although it would be cool if he still played with Primus..And if they could play with his band and others for a longer lifetime.. Oh well.

[wayne1167]

Classic Les Claypool - Good and Weird.

[dani7456]

[forkicksandgiggles4]

The first time i heard this song like last summer i was like what in the world is this. But coming back to it today i found that i'm actually pretty stoked on this song now.

[EatingABombs]

It so great & crazy!!! I cant look away!!!

[MusicMoment01]

[sandman45lam]

[Pighood]

Hooray for Hopeychange! YES WE CAN!!!!

[ZenPunk]

Les Claypool was not in deliverance you fuckwits

[slantyrock]

"and he shot his very first SQURrrrrrlll" lol

[sublime88sublime]

this is what happens when you take the purple acid folks

[campfive]

Is it just me, or was that,..... INSANE

[AntiFederalist1]

War is the health of the state and the death of individual.

Les was an Obama supporter IIRC.

When Obama's first four years are up, we'll still be in Iraq, we'll still be in Afghanistan, we'll still be illegally bombing Pakistan and possibly at war with North Korea and Iran, which if that happens, will complete the foreign policy goals of George Bush by waging war on the "Axis of Evil".

Meanwhile, we go broke.

Les, love your work, have for years, and I've got one name for you - Ron Paul

[deviant2e2]

those masks are terrifying. 

[MarcoEsquandolas83]

les is an insane musician and its cool to make a political statement, but why over-generalize half of our population and disrespect people?

Music is a common ground for people and an excuse to escape from our daily routines and bull shit politics

[hXcemoyuahh]

@MarcoEsquandolas83 because theyre idiots. nuff said. 

[XthatsrightX]

@MarcoEsquandolas83

If the shoe fits friend. I live in a state so red they would vote for the antichrist if he had an R in front of his name. What he says rings true, and he would know as well. He aint exactly from downtown Chicago if you didn't know.

So I leave you with another one... if the truth hurts....

[Attercop47]

wow! the dude that played banjo in Deliverance singing about Red State Girls

the end must be near

[Steve9842007]

@Attercop47 Les was born in freaking El Sobrante and hung out in SF/Berkeley for decades. One of the more liberal people out there.

[brooklynstudio]

@Attercop47 "Billy Redden (born 1956 in Rabun County, Georgia) is an American actor best known for his role as Lonnie, the banjo-playing boy, in the 1972 movie Deliverance."

care to elaborate?

[zatheris]

les is the man

[pablotepa13]

This is fucking weird man

[Blueb1rdd]

She wants to grow up to be like Sarah Pailin hahaha. Bow diddee Bow Bow

[KMcninj]

its pretty hilarious that les is the only one not wearing a mask

[creator907]

Anyone know what instrument Les is playing?

[aceenigmax]

@creator907 That was an electric upright bass... they're very fun to play on. :D

[jimmysail]

Les Claypool is a massive talent who's not afraid of going outside the box to be artistic. Seeing Primus in 2 weeks. It's going to be awesome.

[ForbiddenHaze]

@jimmysail I saw Primus three nights ago in Minneapolis.

Prepare to be amazed.

[KevinDC5]

Dont get me wrong, I love Primus and Les, but he really didnt put very much effort into writing this song. The song sounds great but lyrically its just a cheap shot on rural America. I wish they could keep their political views absent.

[themacleodreynolds]

@KevinDC5 i disagree i think its just alot different from most topics he usually writes about but i mean still les at american life by primus its pretty much the same idea ( not really kinda the closest one) idk i just think its different

[wtfbbqcheez]

The guys in the masks scare the crap out of me.

But I FUCKING LOVE this song.

[rockcarz21]

les claypool killed chuck norris with his bass.

[bigboimlp]

@rockcarz21 i'm pretty sure you meant **thumb

[bigboimlp]

0:01 -- 3:13 = Amazing

[cheezyplzy]

@rockcarz21 HUH!!!

[Tommythecat01]

Les Claypool====God

[BMULVTV]

FUCK YOU LES CLAYPOOL!

[Tommythecat01]

@BMULVTV Fuck You, You Little Bitch Mother Fucker!!! SHUT YOUR COCK SUCKER!!!

[BMULVTV]

@Tommythecat01 what an intelligent thing to say!

[bojanks15]

@BMULVTV blasphemy!

[lutongooner]

I'd go as far to say that Les is the greatest musician of all time. I don''t know anybody who has made the amount of albums he has (Primus, Oysterhead, Frog Brigade, Colonel Claypool's Bucket of Bernie Brains) that all sound so different but still keep his unique sound. His music is so original unlike a lot of the other so called 'genius' musicians.

[Brennanshae]

@lutongooner Mike Patton has made more music that all sounds way different. Not saying ether one is better but check him out.

[gaunten]

@lutongooner

check out the "zappa" part of any good record store and you will probably find around 100 different albums. not saying that Les is anything but Epic, but he's far from the only one

[Hytariz]

LOL at 3:09 - 3:10...

[vxskud]

Les Claypool is my god

[marshallbs]

My favorite part...

screechy bow - long pause - "bow ba de bow bow" - bass kicks back in

Sweet!

[Beatnikzombie]

Sorry all you cousin fuckers, but this song is 1) kickass and 2) funny as hell.

[Beatnikzombie]

@1Eu4ic You're definately a total hick. I bet you live in a red state. Go fuck your cousin and have a three fingered baby and stay away from commenting on intelligent music.

[SkunkNugget420]

Les Claypool is without a doubt one of the most talented and creative musicians of my generation, anyone attempting to deny that is indeed a fool. Furthermore I see it as a responsibility of a musician to be politically active and speak out, for they have the voice and ability to begin to wake the masses of sheep. Lennon lit the torch of a revolution and was murdered for his dissidence; there is yet to be a musician to step up and fill his shoes.

[felpudo00]

@1Eu4ic

how the fuck was making plans for nigel the best song?

[RAJA0392]

smart song!+

hey i cansee russia from singapore!

[BalubianNation]

please take a listen to Papa Baloo..

[mcsavage89]

I was skeptical of this song, now I like it.

[AxisofJustice21]

He's gotten too involved in politics now... number one problem with a musician doing that: you lose 50% of your fanbase. I don't care if he is a brainwashed leftist or a die-hard conservative, just make the music about the music.

[GordyDaPengwin]

Let's all admit....

Primus really does suck....

[420lovemuffins]

AMAZING

[theC4K3is4lie]

Of course, Les isn't wearing a mask, and IF you EVER shield Les Claypool's face from his fans, we will F*CKING KiLL Y0u!!

[jimjam154]

@theC4K3is4lie He wears that pig mask every once in a while doin live shows. He had it on about half the time at Yuri's Night.

[fremenjoe34]

@theC4K3is4lie Les is ALWAYS wearing masks. you sir are an idiot and PRIMUS SUCKS!

[urbaniaX1]

This guy just knows how to do it. We should all take a page out of his book.

[pseudodotcom]

GREETINGS FROM PSEUDO!!!!

[cutslicepunchjag]

Cooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooool

[deege10]

bow ba da bow bow

[TonyBono]

Can ya tell he's worked with Tom Waits a time or twelve....

[zombiestomp360]

im just saying les claypool has always been wierd i love his music and i didnt mean it as a insult dick

[80lightelmo]

Les is totally awesome...But this video/song is REALLY strange.. -_-

[zombiestomp360]

@80lightelmo

dude its les claypool where have you been

[waitingforlifetopass]

@caseystarling Shut tbe fuck up you ignorant bitch, he is stating his opinion which we all have a right to do.....

[Militaryxl]

@caseystarling You Suck.

[kevinlech]

@caseystarling if he wrote a derogatory song about Obama would you still say the same thing?

[stephenfer7]

this is fucking stupid

[fefeloved1]

@stephenfer7

stfu!

[ObakeGodOfShrink]

Aah, the tone is really crazy. In a good way.

[DrDamnoz]

leaves me more than a little disturbed

[cutoffs8]

he is a great bass player and is very creative. I'm happy he left Primus because they sounded a little muddy. but i still love Primus.

[basshead71]

How bout a song about Hillary Clinton Les? Man up!

[thebloodislove304]

can someone please tell me who these other guys are???????????? i just say them and little rock and they kicked ass

[thebloodislove304]

hell yea

[mkudmkud]

Hmmmm...It seems to be a new kind of Voicing here.......

A very interesting thing.low lowdown........great skill

A comment from Slovenija dudes.

[zepoLtserroFneB]

love it

[nakedclams]

One thing Les Claypool taught me, was the fact you don't have to be weird or random when it comes to music, he taught me that honestly music is expressed through the individual as if it were their own practiced religion. Thank you so much Les Claypool for being a huge factor on one of the biggest things i do.

[Moshpitscum]

reminds me of the "the perfect drug"

[RedneckMike10693]

The thing i love about claypools music is everyone can love it im from the country and imma redneck but i love his music, PRIMUS SUCKS

[Megaslunk]

@RedneckMike10693 hahah you gotta love my name is mud then :p

[KongoXIIV]

The song paints a disgusting picture...I love this album though...it's odd but it's compelling and if you try to turn it off you cant!

[adamclark52]

I've been a Claypool fan since 1993, but I think this song would be better as an instrumental. His voice kinda ruined it.

[Megaslunk]

@adamclark52 The songs are actually made for a video game....Mushroom men and if you play it you don't hear his voice works well with the game , you should try it

[michaelkeely]

Does this remind anyone of Tom Waits? I know he pays tribute to the man in Tommy the Cat...When are either playing NYC again? The shows here blow.

[TechieRefugee]

Me: "Oh hey look a Les Claypool video"

*song starts*

0.o

*sees creepy people in masks*

O.O

*browses on another tab while song plays*

[Numlocq]

Well how are you typing this if you're browsing another tab?

[TechieRefugee]

After the video finishes.

[sociopathix]

lol

[Diomenesx]

Ehat were you expecting? lol

[robs70986987]

if it wasn't for the animals should not try to act like people dvd i wouldnt be a musician

[KongoXIIV]

That DVD made me buy my 2nd bass, a 6-string and thus, changed my life forever!!!

[robs70986987]

right on!

[Myfloodlebong]

I also have a 6 string bass inspired by Les, and it also has changed my life, hypothetical high five... That was awesome...

[tr4xexXx]

agree :)

[oattoaster]

the greastest musician of my generation

[jamesioski]

@oattoaster - If you're just talking about musical skills, then Victor Wooten shits all over him. Although I am a big Primus fan, it's quite a bold statement to say that he's the greatest musician of your, or our, generation. And after all, 'Primus Sucks' lol :)

p.s. Check out Victor's Jam on youtube..... Brilliant.

[93Basstard]

Yeah!!! i just can say it again! AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i love the masks xD

greetz from Germany

[inthefiveonenine]

just so awesome

[SkipperDiscoLand]

does anyone know what kind of hat les has on in this?

[creationmark]

its a bowler hat dude!!

[imusentkillevry1]

les claypool is so weird

but who's judging

thats why he's awesome

[RareAirSupply]

Amazing...

[keymaster2]

Genius.

[ChainsX]

[SirSvoon]
