a really, really good bassist. used to be in Primus, now has his own band, Les Claypool's Flying Frog Brigade. sings with a southern accent, but talks normal.
listen to primuses cover of Metallica's "Master of Puppets" they only play up until the singing starts, but les claypool plays the guitar parts on his bass

A quirky, brilliant bassist who has formulated his own trademark style on the bass guitar involving a popcorn-esque slap and pop technique, combined with his signature technique of strumming out power chords with a fling-like motion (although Stanley Clarke initially invented that.)
Dude, I just saw Les Claypool at the Nokia Theater in Times Square of New York City, and it was literally and without a doubt the most mind-blowing concert I have ever witnessed in my life.

Probably one of the greatest bass players of our generation. His bass skills include 4 string, 6 string, 1 string (Whamola), upright bass (plucked and bowed), fretted and fretless bass. He plays with the acclaimed funk-metal band, Primus.
I love they way Les Claypool plays bass. He's been an inspiration to me.
An over hyped bass player who plays for the sake of being weird. Was amazing in Primus but seems to have reached his creative limitations.
If you worked for Les Claypool, you'd be out of a job in no time.
