blamelouis Posted January 28, 2010 Posted January 28, 2010 (edited) I have to say it took a bit of effort at the start but a bit like Mingus and Coltrane it paid off in the end. Absolutely LOVE his stuff now anybody else find his stuff good ? And any reccomendations for other jambands ? Edited January 28, 2010 by blamelouis Quote
Doddy Posted January 28, 2010 Posted January 28, 2010 I'm a big fan of the Colonel....obviously the Primus stuff is great but I love his first few solo albums,especially '....Highball with the Devil'. Check out the Oysterhead album (Les Claypool,Stewart Copeland,Trey Anastasio). Other cool Jam Bands to check out are Phish...........The Best of the lot IMO Widespread Panic Spin Doctors (especially live stuff) Dave Matthews Band Umphreys McGee Greatful Dead (obviously) There are loads of great bands in this Genre.

Bart Funk Bass Posted September 29, 2020 Posted September 29, 2020 Happy 57th Birthday LES CLAYPOOL ! 1 Quote
visog Posted September 29, 2020 Posted September 29, 2020 Meh... admire him as an artist and doing things a little bit differently but his music to me is quirky for the sake of it and his ideas sound unfinished. Also the Deliverance Backwoodsman shtick was a good antidote to the po-faced grunge crowd at the time - less so now. Can't blame a guy for tryin' I do like that guy with a bucket on his head though... can't remember his name but he's a bit good. 1 Quote

Bolo Posted September 30, 2020 Posted September 30, 2020 I may have missed it but 'Sausage' deserves a mention here. Oh and 'Duo de Twang' top! Quote
Doctor J Posted September 30, 2020 Posted September 30, 2020 I love the first couple of Primus albums but, after that, the wackyness becomes more and more forced to the point of being unlistenable. Great player, all the same. 1 Quote

Sounds like a re-hash of Sergeant Peppers with a good bassplayer 😁 Here's some Colonel Claypool's Bucket of Bernie Brains, odd, whimsical and killer bass: 1 Quote

That gave me something to do whilst suffering through a presidential debate and a multitude of analyses. Sadly, 14 hours of googling and duckducking gave no results whatsoever. Still left wondering what they call the guy with the bucket head. Sigh. 😉 Edited September 30, 2020 by BassTractor Quote
Bobthedog Posted September 30, 2020 Posted September 30, 2020 I must confess I had not heard of him until a couple of years ago when I came across this on YT. Love this cover: 1 Quote

I was just kidding, picking up and continuing what you'd said: what do they call the guy with the bucket head? IOW what do they call Brian Patrick Carroll when he's performing with a bucket head? Very hard to find out, is my experience. 😁 😂 Quote
KevB Posted September 30, 2020 Posted September 30, 2020 (edited) Re King Crimson cover. Yes, give him a proper song and hopefully he won't ruin it. Let him do his own thing and it sounds like an outbreak of mice in a rubber band factory. each to their own though. Edited September 30, 2020 by KevB Quote
