Hi! Just checkin in since most of these comments are from 11 yrs ago...hope you all are well..me?..oh I'm well ty for asking...well have a nice day!...it's puddin time😉
Then I am not the only one who has listened to this masterpiece way more times than I can honestly add up...... Les Claypool is in my opinion the best bass player alive and I don't see anyone taking over the throne anytime soon. I listen to this jam session at least 4x a week and it used to be way more than that back in the day. It is awesome there is no further explanation required
Oh sorry, most who like jazz electric fusion (not typical) bass know. Jaco played with Weather Report in the late 70's. You can easily find either Jaco or Weather Report on RUclips. and I love Les on bass too!
seeing c2b3 live was amazing. they had a sweet intro jam.. even though brain's snare broke about a minute into it. pretty neat to watch him jam without it. if there's one thing you get with claypool - be it with primus or any of his side projects - its gonna be a great show. thanks for posting!
wow didnt even think about the muting of is resonating 3 last strings while he played on the first one... I guess there is certain things live you can forget lol liked it tought!
I think a lot of people bash Les Claypool and praises people like Victor Wooten mainly because Claypool acts so freaking weard while Victor Wooten appears to be a very normal, nice and humble person. if you ask me, I can't say that one is better than the other since they are so different, CLaypool is a trashhead, drawing attention mostly from people in the rock end of the music scale, while Wooten is a groovy guy who plays for a different audience altogether.
@whitewelder Upon doing my research, I discovered that, not only was Jesus a carpenter, but he built a hot rod for Al Jourgensen!!! What an awesome guy. Thanks for the lesson on history whitewelder, you're swell.
i think what made his skill is that he had no 'formal training', he did train by himself so he got the technique by himself and everything, no one taugh him how to do thing, he decided how to do it
That can be very true; I have neither Claypool nor Wooten live. But I think you misunderstood my last sentence (English isn't my native language so...). I didn't mean to say that les took away the attention from the other people he performs with, what I meant was that he attracted attention from a whole different audience than Wooten. That's why so many bash one of them and loves the other
@jedynyiprawdziwyGomo anyone can always do better than someone else in their opinion. i have to admit sometimes les' playing isnt the best. but to me its his ideas that are what make him such a good bassist. also he's very good at turning what goes on in his brain ideawise in music on the spot. might not like it yourself but this is what he felt like playing that day and thats what ended up happening
@nyronHarrison thats sorta how he performs. if you havent seen any other vids of him, he sorta just stays in plays and never really move around too much. he's still really good in my opinion.
dude...standard basses and guitars were tuned the same way last time i checked...the bassist and the guitarist always make sure theyre in tune before they start playing
At first, I thought I had seen Jesus, playing a bass. i realized Jesus doesn't exist, and only Les Claypool could have made such beautiful sounds with a 32" fretless. Thank you Les (messiah) Claypool, you're super. And stuff...
@iParatroop Yes Claypool is a god worth worshipping! I sacrifice my eardrums to Primus and his other music all the time by blasting it up sky high in my car drivin! All over the place!
They weren't complimenting one another well. Les layed down a nice bassline and Bucket couldn't improvise a fit. BH is a good player but sucks at writing/composing/improvising in my opinion.
It happens to me from time to time as well, the key is to not try to "think" so much and just let the feeling of the music get to your fingers. Experience obviously helps the most too :-) Music is a a way of expression, so I try to think like that when I am playing. Pretty rad video, love the effects.
@whitewelder I'm not even gonna ask why history of an empire or 2 has to deal, with this amazing creation of mankind. This comment belongs on a different page, maybe the history channel vid, but not this masterpiece of musical art.
im not being arrogant. im just stating that bucket is not all that everyone makes him out to be. and your right, there were many great artists that never new what a diatonic triad is or what mode to use with a min6 chord. BUT these days it takes an educated individual to be able to make new music that is, well... good. and i know buckethead is good. i was merely commenting hes not the "god" that everyone thinks he is. the real gods are allan holdsworth, vai, and, wes montgomery.
mrbhew...Jaco was the man...but somehwhere Les is playing, breathing and living life. A life that has made him a millionaire...so I don't think anyone really can laugh at this guy.
Buckethead is after Jimi the one with a new technical approach. There are some great guitar players yet like John McLaughlin, Pete Cosey or Prince. But Buckethead is beyond.
@@francohuber6386 I caught him live doing nunchuks once and saw Les join Praxis on stage at Bonnaroo one year and was mystified. So I bought some Praxis albums and dug deeper and my previous comment is what I concluded. From having my mind completely blown to being totally underwhelmed, I'm not sure I have experienced such a let down regarding music as that was. Bummed me out honestly, soooo much potential and such a cool idea. Maybe my KFC bucket expectations were unfair after those initial experiences. I'll backpeddle to 60% gimmick after further reflection. I just wanted more from him in the way of better and more enjoyable songs.
buckethead + claypool = pure gold
"When it comes to art, elitism is bullshit."
Agreed!
Les is truly one of the greatests
people can be happy they see Mr. Claypool and Mr. Buckethead in master improvisation explosion
Buckethead isa great player but terrible composer/writer/improviser.
Love that looowww. Rumble!
Hi! Just checkin in since most of these comments are from 11 yrs ago...hope you all are well..me?..oh I'm well ty for asking...well have a nice day!...it's puddin time😉
Hi, how are you?
@@benp.320 Doing good Ben...thnx for asking..hope you are too!😉
@@AT-rz3hc The pudding was most excellent A T!!! Hope you enjoyed yours😉
@@AT-rz3hc Absolutely my friend!!!✌
Hey. Primus sucks. How you guys doing 😂❤
its almost emberhassing how many times i have watched this
its truly my favorite jam
Then I am not the only one who has listened to this masterpiece way more times than I can honestly add up......

Les Claypool is not Jesus, Grunt, but Les Claypool is Jesus' favorite bass player.
Facetiousness aside, unfortunately Yeshua would not concur lol.
I think that slot is reserved from Mike dirnt from green day they are gods favorite band after all
Les inspires me to learn how to play bass
Fantastic presicion with a fretless
Mike Patton and Les Claypool should make an album.
From 3:13 to 4:14 : definitly the kind of jam I would love to learn how to play if I ever try bass guitar
J S Bach apprécierait ! C'est grand.
this is the greatest solo to listen to high
I saw this performance for the first time on an acid trip 😅 so insane
i wanna go fishin with les
HOLY SHIT i wasn't even expecting Buckethead to be in this im about to have a goddamn jamgasm
SWEET!
I bet any Bass Clay touches its pick ups turn to gold and the notes suddenly obtain their own souls!
This is a fucking rediculous jam. OMFG im addicted to this.
I totally agree. That'd probably be one of the most memorable moments of life.
this jam its so beautiful omg
Thanks Les, that was gorgeous.
I can't think of any exact words to describe this amazing and unique performs
Primus SUCKS! You true fans will understand, and you know who you ARE!
I was at this Show!! New Orleans 2003 Jazz Fest!
The band is Coronal Claypools Bucket of Bernie Brains, if anyone wants to hear more
2 Truly untouchable (and wacky) musicians in their prime!
This jam was better than some full fledge songs I've seen/heard at concerts!
awesome
what are u thinking, how could u not like brains awesome drumming and energy
wow, what a sound!

great video man that was a sick jam
that bass is sweeet! les and brain man, killer.
Carl Thompson. Les owns a load of them
amazing bass player... #1!!!
According to Rolling Stone, John Entwhistle is #1. Huge mistake
wow didnt even think about the muting of is resonating 3 last strings while he played on the first one... I guess there is certain things live you can forget lol liked it tought!
Nice groove.
This is on Les Claypool's 5 Gallons Of Diesel DVD. Its Under C2B3.
I'd love it, i've been a long time fisherman. When i found out he has too couple with his mad skeelz, one could only hope to somehow befriend him :P
Les is my hero.
this jam is unbeilevable
c2b3..please come back and tour the east
This is beyond epic.
I think a lot of people bash Les Claypool and praises people like Victor Wooten mainly because Claypool acts so freaking weard while Victor Wooten appears to be a very normal, nice and humble person. if you ask me, I can't say that one is better than the other since they are so different, CLaypool is a trashhead, drawing attention mostly from people in the rock end of the music scale, while Wooten is a groovy guy who plays for a different audience altogether.
Claypool and Buckethead ...NICE...

I can hear Jimmy!!! I can hear Jimmy!!! :-)

@iParatroop Jesus does exist, and his name is Les Claypool.
very funky
Bernie Worrel. He worked with Parliament-funkadelic and George Clinton back in the day.

Buckethead on guitar, Brain on drums, Bernie on keys,
Jesus Christ on the bass.
I wish bucket and les had a band of weird stuff, they're bot gods in their instrument
Les Claypool's fancy band, yeah
This shit sounds so tight. Bravo.
@nyronHarrison thats sorta how he performs. if you havent seen any other vids of him, he sorta just stays in plays and never really move around too much. he's still really good in my opinion.
The bass stock for one of his basses ( I forget which) is signed by geddy lee.
I'd be more impressed if I was Geddy and had a bass signed by Les.
dude...standard basses and guitars were tuned the same way last time i checked...the bassist and the guitarist always make sure theyre in tune before they start playing
gets really good from 3:00 on
At first, I thought I had seen Jesus, playing a bass. i realized Jesus doesn't exist, and only Les Claypool could have made such beautiful sounds with a 32" fretless. Thank you Les (messiah) Claypool, you're super. And stuff...
some sort of custom, not sure what kind, all i know is that it's a 4 string fretless with some sort of Tremelo system.
Les does not fuck around
Jake Matthews he does, its just that he sounds awsome every time he does
Like his band, Primus, he sucks.
;^}
@iParatroop
Yes Claypool is a god worth worshipping! I sacrifice my eardrums to Primus and his other music all the time by blasting it up sky high in my car drivin! All over the place!
there are days when i shit, and it flows right out of me, and other days, i feel rather clogged.
yea dude same thing im just jamming alone and i'm like whoa that was beast then lotta people are hanging out and im like hmm idk what to play
I think buckethead wasn't inspired at that moment thats why Les approaches him to kinda fire him up ... to get him more amped.
They weren't complimenting one another well. Les layed down a nice bassline and Bucket couldn't improvise a fit. BH is a good player but sucks at writing/composing/improvising in my opinion.
i'll be the judge of that!!
it starts creepin at 3min it's sick how he does that
"We are Primus, and yes we do suck" Something like that right? :)
"THANKK YOUUUU.... WE'RE PRIMUUSSS...... AND WE SUCK" *some dude in the crowd* " THATTTTSS RIGHHHTTTTTT! YOUUUU SUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCKKKK"
less actually takes this to a new level .... they all usually play the same type this is different at least and i dont even play base
Les is walking around stage like he's drunk and excited and bucket head is just standing like he's an awkward robot or something
Tease.
It happens to me from time to time as well, the key is to not try to "think" so much and just let the feeling of the music get to your fingers. Experience obviously helps the most too :-)
Music is a a way of expression, so I try to think like that when I am playing.
Pretty rad video, love the effects.
Theres Frusciante too :)
AND THEN BUCKETHEAD WALKS IN!! WTF I was not expecting that
its c2b3 not primus

the real gods are allan holdsworth, vai, and, wes montgomery.
That was Brain Mantia on drums.
@evillivegoddog You're right, but I don't think I've ever seen Les fake it. Have you?
@evillivegoddog yea. or like the jams are the same as yesterday. kinda had that today.
Buckethead has his own presence on stage, and that presence involves acting like a statue... strange as it may be, he does it on purpose.
Not a piccolo bass. This is his four string fretless.
that sound is very larry graham, great solo
Kudos to you ^_^
Les.
Zone hit @ 4:12
whoa dude trippy comment.
@evillivegoddog Yeahh i do. After a while of playing you start to jam better
mrbhew...Jaco was the man...but somehwhere Les is playing, breathing and living life. A life that has made him a millionaire...so I don't think anyone really can laugh at this guy.
claypool rools
2:10 - 2:20 That's what it sounds like when a metal bass weeps
Buckethead is after Jimi the one with a new technical approach. There are some great guitar players yet like John McLaughlin, Pete Cosey or Prince. But Buckethead is beyond.
Buckethead is 70% gimmick. He is an excellent player but terrible writer/composer/improvisor.
@@captain_orange well he doesn't care about commercial success 😉
@@francohuber6386 I caught him live doing nunchuks once and saw Les join Praxis on stage at Bonnaroo one year and was mystified.

yeah I hear you. you cant be on the spot 24/7 unno
He did screams of the butterfly for a sec there
Jesus looks like Les. And envies him.
less is God on bass guitar
this isn't primus, it's colonel claypool's bucket of bernie brains. different band entirely.
LOL! Hey mom! Look at me! I won a comment argument on youtube, LOL!
@Honeytrip420 always thought that too man
yup, fretless 4 stringer.
