The guy hands him the bowl and he turns around so people can't take pictures.

He says something like 'I don't normally do this, but can I get a hit of that?'. He goes to the mic and points to a guy standing right in front of him smoking a bowl. They were in the middle of just ripping through a song, as any Claypool project does, and Les just stops. People brought bongs and shit right up by the stage because there was no real separation from the camping area.

It was a camping festival and it had rained a ton so there weren't a ton of people there, but the vibe was super chill and fun. Probably the most iconic Les Claypool moment I ever witnessed was at a small music festival at Marvin's Mountain, WV. People in our section didn't understand why we hated Primus so much that we kept yelling that they suck.

I probably saw Primus and various Claypool acts at least two dozen times back in the day.įirst time was when Primus opened for U2 on the Zoo TV tour. Still an unbelievably surreal moment and doesn’t quite feel real - but it is absolutely gorgeous and the best feel / tone of any bass I’ve picked up. To take it even further… I bought one of Les’s Pachyderm basses from him a few months ago. Thankfully my wife is all about the universe of Les as well. Les was the sole reason I even picked up bass, and I have THPS to thank for that! Even some of my oldest friends & band mates to this day all started from us being the only kids into Primus in middle school, not to mention the huge rabbit hole of related music Les / Primus got us into as well.Īt this point I’ve seen Les live in whichever incarnation over 50ish times since then, and our house has ever dwindling wall space covered with Primus / side project show posters. Though - I’m pretty sure the only thread I’ve ever created on the site was for the Conspiranoid EP when it dropped and… I believe it got zero replies :’(Īnyway - they’re still my favorite band some ~24? years later.
