The only douches in this video are the guy who threw a beer bottle on stage, and the guy who posted the video for thinking that throwing objects at bands while they are playing is "just rock n roll"
so true
That’s exactly what I thought!!
Yep
Throwing things on stage is a sign of small and insignificant genitalia.
The Douche here is the guy who upload the video, Les Claypool is a man of 51 years old who deserves respect on his job, most of his complaints that i see is from stupid people throwing bottles at stage or Flipping Off Mr. Claypool, i think people forgot a value named Respect.
as a proud fan of claypools work you are correct my fellow dude the real douche is the person who uploaded this video
so im not the only one that felt like someone spet on my father right?
Agree. The douchebag throwing the water bottle shouldn’t go to concerts. It’s a music event not a kindergarden, and that sort of behaviour has no place at a concert. No wonder musicians react to dickheads. Total respect for Les Claypool, imo he should have kicked the douchebag out of there.
See, I would title this video: "Les Claypool Wisely Protects His Collection of Priceless Bass Guitars From Senseless Attack By Random Drunk Guy." Yes. That'd do. That'd do nicely.
Yeah, i think it's sick. good for ol' Les
Yeah fuck that clown and fuck the guy who titled this video he's probably the one who threw the bottle les is just doing what any normal person would do if it were me and I knew who did it I'd flying elbow drop that guy from the stage
Your not wrong at all, but thats his clone carl thompson 1976
Plus he could be seriously hurt by a flying bottle.
How is that douchey.The only time Les has ever gotten mad is when someone does something uncalled for,and still is pretty calm and doesn't go totally Axl rose on them.Geez,I would've done worse. Plus he's just worried about his and his band mates safety.
You cant change dumb. Toss their dumb asses out every time. Buying the ticket doesnt mean you get to throw shit at the stage. I dont get peoples wiring
I saw Primus in Detroit a bunch of years back and some idiot threw a cassette tape an hit Les in the hand as he was playing. Boom. Show's over. I don't blame Les at all for taking the stance that if you throw something on stage, he's gonna call you out, and if you hit him, he's done for the night. Some people just don't have any respect for the music.
hey he still gets your money and he didnt even have to do the whole show, thats a major fukk you, blame the asshole who decided to throw shit lol
What year was it?
I get it, but it's dumb to punish everyone in the audience for the actions of one dumb person.
@@luminous6969 Hey, at least he didn't go Axl Rose on them.
You don't blame Les for ending the show for hundreds of other people that paid to see him, because one person threw a tape? Sorry. A professional does not do that.
Go to your local bar with live music and throw beer all over the bass players equipment and see how calmly he reacts. Probably not that calmly.
No, I'm a bass player and i probably would drop kick him from the stage. xD
for real, it's one thing to accidentally step and unplug a cord at a local show but there's people that legitimately just vandalize the band's equipment and think they're cool. If I see someone do that shit I'm kicking their asses, clowns like that shouldn't be allowed at shows
No doubt... Ass whoopin time
I was also at this show. First, he ended up playing a full set anyway, so the point is kinda moot, as it wasn't like the show was completely derailed. Second, he even went back to replay American Life in it's entirety. So really, he is a good person for completing a show (lots of artists have less integrity and would have just left) and we ended up with extra music.
Good to know
I was at this show too. I do remember that they did finish the song later on. I was right in front of Les and I caught the drum stick after they played Jerry was a race car driver
I don’t get it...did Les show up to that guy’s job later on and start rocking the slurpee machine or something? Where’s the “douche” part?
fantastic comment
He showed up to his house and fucked his wife
Lol.
no douche about that.. I don't blame him. Throwing shit at the performers is totally disrespectful.
I wouldn't be surprised if the person that uploaded this is friends with the degenerate that threw the bottle.
If MY Carl Thompson bass was in danger of getting damaged, I would stop in a heart beat.
Les can afford hundreds of those basses probably so
@@turq1824 Just because someone can afford anything at anytime isn't an excuse to damage their property, and even less if it has a sentimental value
@@dexoutrage8434 True
@@turq1824 Also another thing to note is that Carl Thompson doesn’t make basses anymore, so he can’t get a new one if it gets ruined. A shame really, I wish he still made basses
@@ckvfamily Doesn't he have family members that took over or something
HE TOOK THE WIND OUT OF HIS SAILS... :(
Even though hes a decent guy. Nice to animals, washes behind his ears.
Funny i literally just watched that video
3:22 it still sounds like a casual primus song.
Les tends to get shit thrown at him while he is playing. Like he said in another video, "I don't come down to McDonalds and throw shit at you while you're flippin' burgers."
LMAO the way he calls out the perp. I bet Les is a blast to hang out with!
Thank you. Some are focused on the perp and uploader and not his response. Who else lol'd?
@@aarontaylor6638 Primus sucks. LOL
@@333crypta then why u here ?
@@LeadFrog it's an inside joke 🤣
@@333crypta "We're primus and we suck"
Personally I dont think it matters what genre, band, singer, etc. Is playing, once they're on that stage, it's their stage, no one has the right to throw stuff at the players, les had every right to stop playing
Les was right. He was 100% correct with his choices.
rename this video to GUY WHO THREW BOTTLE - BEING A DOUCHE
People need to learn respect,throwing anything on stage while people are playing there instruments is very disrespectful,and obviously, u don’t know how to play an instrument if u say”it’s just rock n roll” no,it’s not,it’s timing, hits all the right notes,having to be focused that entire song,and throwing shit on stage is going to distract them,and cause them to mess up,les isn’t being a douche, he’s actually being quite calm considering the situation
Granted Les could have played it off and maybe handled it better, but by no means was he in the wrong or a douche.
3:25 hes talking about the guy who posted the video
3:22
Throwing bear bottles at him is not"just rock and roll"!That could brake someone's head open!
even worse to interupt "american life"
Agreed
call him a wimp or whatever for it, but maybe he doesn't wanna have to get bottles chucked at him when he's doing his job. btw what song was this?
American Life
Kaleb's Bass n Stuff' thanks brother!
Not a problem, amazing song
Right dude? So he is a douche because he got a bottle thrown at him and got mad?
I believe its American Life on the Anti Pop album.
If someone throws something at you on stage, there's no way for you to know who did it and thus no way for you to stop it from happening again. Stop the song, though? The next time someone thinks about throwing something and the people around them will put a stop to it real quick. Les is brilliant. Awesome crowd management.
Respect the artist. Envision yourself doing your job, doing it well, when all of a sudden you get pegged with a bear bottle. You'd be pissed too! I'm with Les.
and the drummer still keeps the beat!
Drunken ignorance. I have no problem with anyone using drugs or alcohol if they want, yet every time i go to a concert there are always belligerent drunk bastards who try to ruin the show for everyone. No matter what you're on,if you cant compose yourself enough to have respect for the performers and the people around you,then you have no right being in public.
I always loved this about Primus. They might suck but that dnt mean u gotta throw stuff at them.
Well some people are bastards, this guy was not
Could've just pulled a Henry Rollins and beat the shit out of the guy.
Yeah, why not? Because, like "Mr. Tough Guy" sais in his video description:
"IT'S JUST ROCK N ROLL!!"
But I guess that's only the case as long as he isn't the one getting his ass kicked.
All I know is I have never bought a ticket to throw shit at who I payed to see. I don't throw shit at you while you are at work.
that is not a plastic bottle it's glass, and i've met musicians who have been hit by bottles on stage, its really common, and if you let one person get away with it it can become really dangerous as more fan's think it's okay to do it
I saw them at Roseland 3 days ago and he did the same thing. Someone threw a bottle at him and he bitched him out, hes not being a douche, he just doesnt take shit from no one.
U mean.......he is like cheap toilet paper! He domt take no shit off no one!
michael chavez
What the fuck are you talking about lmao
@@nelsonvontitfuk1471 Fr lol I thought I was having a stroke
@@nelsonvontitfuk1471 Its a joke. He is saying cheap toilet paper doesnt "take shit" from anyone. Not that hard to understand tbh.
This isn’t him being a douche. He’s being reasonable, isn’t being physical back. He’s just wanting everyone to stay safe and have a good time.
It's just Rock N Roll? This has nothing to do with Rock N Roll. This has to do with the fact that someone is trying to perform, to give you the best, and some guy in the crowd doesn't give a shit. These three guys put their heart and soul in every performance. Why would you even go to that concert if you're gonna throw stuff at the artists?
why do they even let ppl have glass bottles there? I am used to there only being plastic cups allowed. bc those glass bottles can cause quite a bit of damage when the hit a head or smth.
i dont have a problem with this because I'd now pay for both a comedic act and a concert. its a win win
for it is written "thou shalt not throw beer bottles at the god of bass"
Anyone who goes to see Les should know that he has no tolerance for people throwing shit on stage. He's EARNED the right to be arrogant and expects respect from his fans. Those instruments hold great sentimental value to him. We should realize what an honor it is that he plays for us and show the man the respect he deserves!!
les is the man!
What beer bottle is plastic?
what was thrown at him ? i could hear what he said
Anyone remember the drummer Dean Johnson who toured playing for Frog Brigade?
What is that song?? I cant figure it out.
what song is this
what song is this?
throw a bottle at me when im in the middle of a jam, ill pull a mother fucking axl rose stage dive!
What song is that?
I'm sorry, I'm pretty new to Primus' music. But can someone tell me what the name of this song is? By the way, I think Les handled this well. I mean, he didn't ask the band to stop nor did he threaten to cancel the show.
What song is this?
how many things can you hit him with ive seen 4 things thrown at him
Song name?
im ganna throw a beer botle next primus show im at
I was at this show, the LC Pavillion in Columbus, Ohio in 2010, the first tour they did in 6 years. The audience wasn't pissed at Les, they were all pissed at the guy for interrupting Les with a beer bottle after not seeing Primus for 6 years and myself especially since it was the first time I saw them. I hope the bottle guy got chased out of the venue because he sure didn't deserve staying after that.
Not to mention, "rock and roll" isn't an excuse to ruin everyone else's good time or does it make the band a punching bag. No one would tour at that point.
Remember performers dont want trash tossed at them
Bruh what if someone throws a beer bottle at les claypools 10,000 dollar bass
My question is, how does Primus even remotely seem like the kind of band that wants shit thrown at them? I'll admit saying that some acts love it when the crowd gets rowdy and throw shit everywhere, but they're usually asking for it in the first place. Primus just doesn't give off that vibe at all.
You have to think of what the world would be like if everyone acted in the same way. If every concert goer threw beer, then performers wouldn't tour. If every performer stopped performing every time someone threw beer, people would probably stop throwing things. In this case, Les is more.
What kind of beer comes in a plastic bottle? That is a glass bottle.
what song is he playing? really starting to get into it when he stops.
american life
Idk I’ve been to many shows in my time and never once thought it would make my experience better, more fun, or more memorable by doing anything but listening and cheering and trying to catch stick and picks. Never thrown anything never spit nothing. I don’t think it’s Douchey to call out someone for throwing shit.
Silverheest i'm with you, i'm also a musician and i have to agree with you. i mean when your performing your equipment isn't just electronics and gadgets there your life and as much of a part of the band as you are so someone throwing a beer bottle at it is like throwing a bottle at your friend. And thumbs up to Les for sticking up against the douche who threw it.
was this in Columbus?
I like how the one guy says its going to be on the internet.Good stuff
They should throw him a BIG STICKY NUGGET for his work!!!!!!!!
This has become a running gag at there shows now lol I almost wonder if there staged
I’ve never seen it before.
You would be pissed too if it was your handcrafted several thousand dollar bass that has lasted you most of your career
I didn't know beer came in plastic bottles o_o
Was it 2Liter?
Ya don't call Les a douche, douche.
I don't know I think that it's kind of dumb for him to completely stop playing an entire song that everybody else wants to listen to to "punish" the person who threw the bottle like I have seen Primus and I love their music but I also don't think it's fair to every single other person who paid for a ticket to not hear a song just because of one asshat
Getting hit by a thrown glass bottle could be deadly for the person being hit. Douche that threw that bottle should be arrested for assualt if that bottle had hit Les or someone else.
No, I am the ghost of the mighty Admiral Scout who died triumphantly fighting the Goliath Pootis in the ruins of Spycrab'leh.
then there wouldnt have been any ROCK N ROLL for the rest of the night
Les is not a douche under any circumstance.
Try throwing a beer bottle at your accountant, see if he is willing to keep working for you.
On another note what is this song? I'm just starting to get into Les Claypool's work and that bass line is infectious
the song is called american life
Watchman5 American Life
Not a douche, imagine that bottle hits him in the face or the headstock of his priceless bass?
@eleithias They do. Miller lite has a 6 pack of plastic bottles.
I was there!
I'm reminded of Steve Martin's response to a heckler. " I don't come to your work and knock the dick out of your mouth"
Steve the genius.
HOW symbolic is it that it happens during the song "american life"
I'm kinda surprised he didn't get more shit thrown at him after that.
Only thing he hates more than this is flash photography.
Hmm the average person would be pissed if a beer bottle was thrown at them let alone near their multi-thousand dollar bass (empty or not). It amazes me that people don't get it. If he did not address one bottle, then other bottles would be thrown. It's called mob mentality. Good for Les for not tolerating shenanigans! I was there too & very pissed that anything was thrown. It's called respect & when you lack respect for a band, they don't want to play in your town! It's not a GG Allin show!
What are you talking about? He handled this with absolute class. Who the hell dislikes les claypool? Grow up dude,
wait...what?
i just had to say, my name is mud after reading that. i had to
Saw Primus recently and by request of the band all drinks were served in plastic cups this might be why lmao
its not JUST ROCK AND ROLL, its his fucking job! and he is the man. If Claypool wants to tell you how to raise your kids or comb your hair, YOU LISTEN!
Cobraskull must have been the bottle thrower lol
hes not being a couch hes being normal if someone throws something at me while i play id stop
i threw the bottle because im so cool
when he would not stop people start to think it's okay to throw beer on stage.
so from that moment on there will always be the risk that your thousands of dollars worth of guitar-gear, gets drowned in beer.
I don't think his insurance would buy that for long.
claypool is the man
um, this is why I love Les Claypool. He's straight up. Don't be a douche. Who wants to throw shit at Primus anyway? enjoy it.
Wow, I'm having such a good time, I just have to throw shit onstage! Shame he didn't see who did it and wing it back in his face.
it seems like at every concert there is one guy who throws shti at les lol
he could just end the show,hes les claypool,the show cant go on with out him
He certainly is not being a couch. He's a human being.
I'm everywhere
