@Lyle Grandersom. Okay, firstly, how the hell does, of all things, a freaking *Facebook poll* make a unanimous decision on a random chant in a concert video? Secondly, in what way is that guy a troll?
From all of the scientific study that I have done, he did come here from another planet in 1963, when all of the alien cover ops were going strong. It just goes to show that aliens are generally more talented than most humans.
I can play everything he just played there. I’m just not as famous as him. There are bass players out there that put this guy to shame. Wooten, Sheehan and Pastorius for starters
@Paulonbass75 depends on the luthier let alone who makes the hardware... Kahler outside of custom built and designed hardware are a pretty solid design and hold tune well, and another factor is who the hands they are in not to mention using precision tuners with a 18:1 or greater tuning ratio and who strings up the guitar... a pee brain or someone who is more than just a player all play factors. Just speaking from experience in instruments and being a guitar/bass tech!🤘😁
Its weird but every time I listen to Claypool, it makes me wish Frank Zappa had lasted about ten or so more years. I just know that he would of heard Les and used him on something. Would of been weirdly cool.
You should see him live great performer...also Les is an entire package of creativity and innovation...he practically created a whole new style of music...Plus his live jams in Primus are astounding.
Quit arguing about who's best and just enjoy it. This guy is a brilliant musician. Who cares who invented what? I respect anyone that can create this kind of music. Even if I practiced for the next 25 years, I could never play like that. Go Les!
The songs name is Thela Hung Ginjeet. Its a cover by one of Claypool's favorite artist: King Crimson. I can't find any other videos of it, although I do have a different live recording of the song. You can easily tell the song by the end of the video when he goes back into the bassline of the actual song.
They recognized his talent. He doesn't wear an I'm a bad ass face. That's the issue. You know cause those guys are such real world bad asses. It's more important to look tough than to be a musical genius. That's why when music continues to evolve more and more people will get into Les and forget Meta.....
The Metallica guys told Les he was "too good" for their band. Plus, his style wouldn't fit Metallica imo, he's better off musically bouncing-off Ler and Herb. If you don't believe me... just see Primus live. 😁
@@divinefallfromgrace in hindsight he was better off. But at the time, no.... saying someone is too good is a nice way of saying you didn't make the band. And the career of les has been good, but that's also disregarding what they could have produced WITH les. It could've taken over music. It could have started another transitional trend in mysic. Or it couldve failed, we just dont know. Hindsight is 20/20. We know who les is and metallica. Theyre both renown. Those "hes too good" excuses are just bs.
All those haters who don't play bass, can you compare? can you show me a better showing of what Les has done here, by anyone or on any one of his great tracks? The mans an artist. And by some slim chance you can, you didn't do it first. Respect it. Respect is earned. Its Les Claypool.
While I agree with you about haters and how annoying they are, you have to admit, this isn't even close to his best solo. It's not bad, but not great either. I can say this as fully fledged bass player. Being impressed by a solo is what makes it great. I was impressed with this. Much more impressive is his solo at Woodstock.
No its not even close to his best solo, like I said, the mans an artist.im a 15year Bass Player my self, Primus was the reason I started. Im so used to people calling Les "Overrated" it makes me sick. Im saying if im saying anything at all, the mans an inspiration. He is a master undoubtably.
Brr Zerker people who say he's overrated aren't mature musicians. He is up there. I will say victor Wooten, Marcus miller, Stanley Clarke etc would blow him out of the water technically, but that's not all music is. The fact is, I enjoy listening to Les' songs and lines more than the fully fledged jazz virtuoso players.
Ianthebassist I think from a listener's persepective Victor is more accessible than Les, Marcus, or Stanley, but I love listening to all of them. I go back and forth between Wooten and Claypool as my favorite bass players to listen to, but I play guitar and only for about a year so I can't really speak with any authority on his ability. I think he's a god tho.
this jam is in the middle of Thela Hun Ginjeet, live in Chicago. Rest of the show was pretty awesome too, his kids come out and play the Whamola with him. claypool, best bassist and performer i've ever watched.
There is no word we as humans can formulate that can deifine the level of mastery he is with a bass guitar.. its like Bruce lee mastery of martial arts Xs a billion billion
@SevenOfNone Victor is AMAZING! Holy crap...lol. i dont play bass very often (mainly because i dont have one), but watching all of these videos of bass solos and amazing bassists is making me want a bass more and more!

I am convinced that this guy is from another planet.

@Paulonbass75 opps strings up, not springs up!😅
in my opinion i think les claypool is probably THE best bassist alive he will always be a legend in my mind
Geddy Lee is still alive
fellas, they can BOTH be the best alive!
Victor Wooten son
Чувак, я с тобой согласен! Он лучший, он индивидуален, не повторим! Привет из России!

Who knew all of those different sounds could come from a bass
Bassists, pretty much no one else though.
@@BlizzardBow oh hey another bassist!
effects pedals, they knew, the sneaky bastards!
Anybody that’s ever picked up a bass.
pedals
This is why Les Claypool is a legend because not many bass players can strum it like it's a 6-stringed guitar.
fun fact.... i am the guy shouting that he is a god in this video... true story

@JD Rev bullshit, that is my voice. i was at this show. this was in ottawa
@@ericmoxon570 sorry but this show happend in alberta and that was my voice

no that was me
i love at 2:26 he just walks out of view and leaves the cameraman dumbstruck
Its weird but every time I listen to Claypool, it makes me wish Frank Zappa had lasted about ten or so more years. I just know that he would of heard Les and used him on something. Would of been weirdly cool.
Matthew Dickerson I know what you mean man; the nearest thing to it would prob be Oysterhead. Trey reminds me of Zappa somewhat.
Thought the same thing. Zappa would have loved Les.
Matthew Dickerson I was thinking the same thing. They could have made a whole album together and it would have been amazing.
I just saw primus in Raleigh on the Slayer tour. I though the same thing. Very Zappa ish.
Holy fuck dude. Finally someone that thinks like me. One can only imagine the music those two would've made.
I like the part where he crab walks out of the camera shot xD
I think my bass is broken. It doesn't do this.

Hey! you don't need to tell Les what he already knows he is! :3

Totally dropped into a Thela Hun Gingeet there at the end
Mikey Betard Nice profile pic
That's the song they're playing tho
Best bass solo ever!
Watched this countless times!
Les Claypool blows Flea out of the water
+Braden Cerny I love them both equally and think they are the best bass players!
James Ford dont forget about bootsy guys
+Braden Cerny LOL. Flea who? :)
Oderus Urungus overrated anyway
Oddball Skull Flea sure is overrated whereas Les is underrated. In Les we trust.
insane bass player. i love Primus i love Les Claypool.
Lord have mercy. Geddy is proud of you Les!

Les is the man when comes to playing bass guitar. Amazing.
Admiro profundamente el virtuosismo de este bato. En mi vida y en mi música me ha influenciado gravemente
incomparable les
Flea
Cliff burton
Flea y Les Estan por ahi en nivel pero prefiero a flea por su estilo
Neither flea nor cliff are as creative as les, and just enjoy les' playing dont try and come up with people who you think are better than him...
Billy Sheehan
I love the way hes playing and dancing :D great bass guitarist
Amazing! Xylophone was great! Les Claypool never fails to impress.
his power level is over 9000!!!
Les does for the bass what Tom Morello does for the guitar, they pull the most unique sounds out of them.
Eve never seen another bassist that can tear it up like this guy
We were 17 and it was at that point in time that I began touting that Les was the best rock bassist on the planet!
How do u beat him? Hes so original, fresh, and hes just what we need in the music world. A breath of funky fresh air!
Victor Wooten, Les Claypool, Flea, and Chris Squire (in no particular order). My top 4 bassists of all time.
Oh yeah, Chris Squire is really something. I wouldn't call him an innovator, but can't help smiling to Roundabout's bass line.
Les is trying to channel Jaco here
nickthestick26. 5.BOOSTY COLLINS
nickthestick26 the fact you didn't include geddy lee is frustrating
Cliff burton
amazing as usually
Truly one of the BEST BASS PLAYERS OF ALL TIME
Imagine not realizing Les Claypool's talent but somehow Lars Ulrich indefinitely slips under your radar.
They recognized his talent.
He doesn't wear an I'm a bad ass face. That's the issue.
You know cause those guys are such real world bad asses.
It's more important to look tough than to be a musical genius.
That's why when music continues to evolve more and more people will get into Les and forget Meta.....
They reject him because he is way too good. And they're right.
@@jefffraley7094 I mean.... most of metallica is musically competent.

that last part of the solo where it gets heavier makes me tear up wish I could see them live , way to young missed out on being born earlier lol
Frog Brigade has 2023 dates 🫠
absolutly amazing...most brilliant man i know...claypool for president!
Truly one of the greatest bassists of all time.
probably "Thela Hun Ginjeet!!!! Thela Hun Ginjeet!!!"
Definitely
01:50 Listen Closely Some Shouts
"YOU ARE A GOD!"
he always looks like he's havin' so much fun.
oh..my..GOD!!!! Standing ovation please!!!
“Don’t come here with that bullshit!”

"bass solo"
Les Claypool is a masterpiece of Funk!
I love les claypool so much
I feel like a human would lose their mind trying to learn this
1:50 There is only one god ma'am and I am sure he doesn't dressed like that
les claypool is phenomenal and beyond
What a god damn legend!
Claypools skill as a musician is only eclipsed by his haberdashery sense.

Thela Hun Ginjeet ;)
Jay Hernández thanks m8
The Yngwie Malmsteen of Bass.
+Kyle Stallings And he actually puts feeling into his music. He's more like the Steve Vai of bass ;-)
We need a G3 with Les playing the bass for Vai and Satch. God I get chills thinking and it.
+McFearless Graso you obviously never seen billy sheehan then lol he is closer to malmsteen, les actually sounds good and is enjoyable to listen to
+cory6002 Except Sheehan doesn't come off as a pretentious douchebag like Malmsteen.

I swear I read this as soon as he said it in the video , perfect timing with the voice in my head. tripped me out haha

fuckin beast...
Very very nice, even if his hat makes him look like a knob.

no such thing as better. each one is unique in their own special way, each one expresses music the way they see fit.
This is WAY COOL!
@nickthestick26 add Geddy lee to make it five
Les auditioned for Metallica after Cliff was killed.
More specifically, he was asked to audition by Kirk.
And when didn't call him back, he weeped for days. They thought that Les style didn't fit and that he should do his own thing
Max Lu And he did do his own thing and it sounds great.
Specifically they said that he was TOO good for metallica
yeh that was insultant. this guy is an absolute visionary, of course he wouldnt fit in metallica for obvious reasons but that answer is just stupid
nice, i didnt even notice that and ive watched this at least a thousand times
AMAZING!
