The bands did a ton of shows together and were pretty close apparently. Also take most Primus fans, and I guarantee that the vast majority are tool fans haha. Although, this doesnt go both ways.

@@Skelsky There is lead guitar, and Ler doing the definition of that. Ler is playing over the rhythm section. Metallica is a good example James Hetfield plays complex rhythm part, Kirk Hammet plays leads over that. That’s the same way Primus works, Les and Tim hold the rhythm section down and Ler play Robert Fripp style leads overtop. Ler plays wayyy more solos than Les.

Last time I saw Primus was May 2012 in Nashville, me and my then-8-year-old were right by the stage, about 15 feet to the right of Les' mics. My boy had to use the restroom, and we're coming back into the auditorium when Les is pointing out the kids in the audience, and he says "I don't know what happened to my little buddy right there, he must've went to get a Slurpee". We get back to our seats and everyone is telling him "HEY!!! Les was just talking about you!!!" Les sees him and walks over right in front of us, and somehow I get my shy, completely awestruck boy to half-ass wave at him, and Les stands there for the entire next song. Greatest moment of my life, without a doubt. I know my boy will never, ever forget it.

Not a big fan of his sound here, but he just got better and better. He is instantly recognizable not only because of his alien technical abilites😂 but also his signature sound. Very sick, I love it.

When he said 'say baby' I got chills. It was that awesome.

holly shit this guy is a genius he can talk so fast even when playing those amazing lines on bass i can't talk that fast period and to play bass like that at the same time god dayum this guy is genius

As a Tool fan, I arrived at this video via a Danny Carey+Primus video. YYZ confused me at first, then he started singing and wondered what on earth was this?!!!!??! But then I realised my foot was tapping and my head was nodding along to the music! What a rhythm, really entertaining!😆

Love the YYZ intro. ❤️❤️❤️

Les is utterly deranged... Love it! This is what a bass on rocket fuel sounds like!

Everyone always remembers Primis for les, but Larry was an awesome guitarist

Tim HERB Alexander was their awesome drummer...les even started in an interview that they hardly ever had to rehearse because he was so good

Those were good days! Saw them in Chicago about that time. One of the best shows ever.

Love how they start it out as a quick YYZ cover in the intro

Les is an enigma wrapped in a parody...one badass base player...hope I can see them before they disappear into the great beyond

Kinda cool how they played yyz at the start led claypool was actually interviewed for the rush documentary kinda cool them playing homage to rush

They always did this live

If only...yyz and tommy the cat, long thought this was just a dream I had.

Les is a national treasure and should be protected as one.

No one can play bass like Les jeez it's amazing

les going from playing YYZ without a hitch to immediately flubbing his own riff is absolutely hilarious, he's entertaining without even trying

I was lucky enough to live by him in Sebastopol, CA. Great man. Nicest man. So nice he played with my TooL wrench tattoo on my arm when Herb was recovering from a heart attack. TooLs drummer took over for that tour. Greatest bass player next to Geddy

The skill is insane

Lmao I love when Les plays Tippi Toes in the wrong key at first

Warms up the song with a little YYZ. Awesome!

Y’all aren’t talking enough about the drummer. His groove is so fuckin tight

They are just like rush I didn't get it at 1st but now I can't Imagine life without them around

Wasn’t huge primes fan, than I saw them live and they are in my top 10 for sure

Love the RUSH...YYZ opening...i wonder how many in the Audience even knew it???...

The most incredible performance ever recorded 🙏

Les Claypool is one of the greatest musicians that's ever lived! Great band altogether though really, amazing guitar and drums. Badass rhythm section!!!!!!!

Awesome Rush YYZ jam in the beginning 🤘

one of the greatest trios ever

Holy shit Herb NAILED YYZ!

I’m so glad metallica knew that Les was too good for them.

How Les Claypool can play one of the most complex basslines of all time WHILE speaking at about 1000 words per minute is, quite simply, an unexplainable miracle of nature. Best bass player ever to pick up the instrument. No one can match his style, inventiveness, and skill. NO ONE. Not Geddy Lee, not anyone.

I agree with you. I think that there are bass players with greater technical skills than him (one above others is Victor Wooten) but as far as creativity, uniqueness, presence and just sheer musicianship Les Claypool is absolutely one to behold, nobody is or will ever be on his level.
