Cabal Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 (edited) I've always loved Primus/Claypool, but this album just takes the biscuit. Anyone into it? Cheers, Jake M Edited February 23, 2009 by Cabal Quote

agoulding Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 (edited) love this album. cant wait for the new one. Another bunch of songs to learn and piss of band mates. Rumble of the diesel, love it. Covering it in a band this year. Edited February 23, 2009 by agoulding Quote
Dmanlamius Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 Yea, it's great...! Wish he would come back over these parts again. Was lucky enough to see Primus twice, but i'd like to see him with his newer bands as well... Quote
YouMa Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 Les is the montypythoncomicstrip of bass we need more guys like les claypool,hope a british one comes alongs soon.Just brilliant. Quote
NancyJohnson Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 I bought Pork Soda when it came out, but at the time it wasn't for me, so I let it go. I've been listening to a lot of Primus on Spotify recently and I'm really growing to love his playing, although his voice is a little hard going, but I can work past it. It's worth it. P Quote
Russ Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 I'm a huge Primus fan, but I just haven't been able to get into Les' post-Primus output... it just doesn't do it for me. It's weird - I [i]should[/i] like it, but I just don't. I can't connect with it. Quote
ped Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 Me too Russ. It feels a bit like he is going through the motions now. I don't know, I can't put my finger on it. I gave OWAW a single listen and haven't listened since... Quote

Anyone into it? Cheers, Jake M[/quote] Yes, very much so. I've loved Les & Primus since we managed to clear the front room at a party by having Seas of Cheese & Frizzle Fry on at the pain threshold with about 4 of us musos utterly caned and crying wth laughter. Whales is the natural progression, in my opinion. Quote
ped Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 I am going to have to give it another listen! Quote
Rich Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 I've tried to like Les, really I have. I had Seas of Cheese for ages, and tried hard to enjoy it. But no. Drives me up the wall. Still, vive le difference eh? Quote
cheddatom Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 Rich, have you heard Anti-Pop? I think it's generally more commercial/easy to listen to. I love my Primus live DVD, I wish I had seen them live. Quote

I'm a big fan of Primus and Les Clayppol. I've been waiting for him to come and play in the uk for ages, i might missed him but it seems like the UK is not such a big number on his list (Apart from promoting his film of course) Quote
51m0n Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 Love Suck on This, Frizzle Fry, Sailing The Seas the it starts to go down hill for me........... But he is at or very near the top of the list of my fav bassists of all time, and definitely my fav singing bassist. Quote

Gamble Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 Chainsaw-wah cello and saw solo's are the future Jerry, I've tasted it! Quote
ucantplaybass Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 Possibly the most original bass player ??? and Vocals at the same time !!! I love this man ! COME BACK OVER AND PLAY LES !!! Quote
jmesa Posted March 27, 2009 Posted March 27, 2009 Just listened to the new album.. it's almost to quirky for me. Not sure what to make of it yet... Love Claypool and everything he's done, but most of this sounds like quirky cartoon soundtrack music.. (like Robot Chicken, Mushroom Men etc) Probably a grower! Quote
BigBeefChief Posted March 27, 2009 Posted March 27, 2009 I hate joke music. "Quirky" for the sake of it. Like those fat rough birds I see on the tube each morning with green-hair, weird tights and peirced faces. Quote
steve Posted March 28, 2009 Posted March 28, 2009 listening to OFOF now, first track is very remeniscent of Dr Seuss. My wife will hate this when I inflict upon her in the car later (and all subsequent shopping trips hereafter) Quote
