We just happened to be in the same music store at the same time. Slightly different ages. But we jammed. He's older than me. But it was fuckin' killer. He has obviously gotten famous and for good reason. Just pure happenstance that it happened
I was front row for this. Bonnaroo 2002. So many memories. Bernies keys broke my eardrums in a beautiful way, Les stalking and looking at Buckethead like “what the hell you doin” because he was standing there like a mannequin for a hot minute then Buckethead shredding his guitar with alien fingers…priceless.
Hey Jamel, since you have become a Les Claypool fan....have you heard of The Claypool Lennon Delirium? It is a side project of Les Claypool with Sean Lennon, John Lennon's son. They surely are worth a listen or even a reaction...If you ask me.
THE DRUMMER BRAIN IS AMAZING BEEN FILLING IN FOR BANDS AS ( GUNS N ROSES, PRAXIS, PRIMUS & GODFLESH ) TO NAME A FEW THANKS FOR THIS REACTION JAMEL_AKA_JAMAL & GRIFFIN BROTHERS ✌🏼& LO💚E MY BROTHERS
Fun fact : Buckethead's baritone guitars (with a kill switch) are suited to his size (6ft6). Could be also suited for you too! Please also check out C2B3 Opening Jam, more funk in the trunk. And Parliament "Flashlight" for more Bernie Worrell synth galore.
You’re getting into the good stuff, props to whoever recommended Buckethead! Nottingham Lace is a great song! Buckethead holds the record for the most albums put out, EVER. Some of them are a bit avant-garde but the dude just keeps it flowing out.. From songs like this to more chin songs like “for mom”(pretty much all of Colma) bringing it back up with songs like “The redeem team” and getting absolutely into the mind of an insane person with “island of lost minds”(this is one that should be listened to a bit later after you listen to his technical and realize his skill, then you can appreciate the wildness of the composition).. This is a rabbit hole you should definitely go down!
The first person I've seen mention The Redeem Team ever. That opening to that song matched with that hard driving riff. In my opinion it really shows his level of diversity in one song.
I've literally been listening to this very clip since I was in highschool, and I'm 31 now lmao. This will absolutely never ever get old man.!!! I still jam to this shit on the regular. 🤣🤣🤣💙💙💙
That’s the best way to describing when you first listen to Les Claypool.. the bass has never been the same in any other piece of music I’ve listened to since! You absolutely MUST listen to VICTOR WOOTEN! Victor and Les both have the double slap down pat!
Enjoy watching the closeness of the 3 brothers having fun together experiencing music,that's the best!!Again being only 4'foot 11"inches the extreme contrast in height is fascinating.✌
I've seen and interacted with bucket over the years... First time I seen him with Les and brain in primus for anti pop... I was 16... I've seen bucket many many times... Maybe a dozen.... My autistic son loves him like I do... He's the greatest artist maybe if all time... You all know he's in the under cover brother video sitting with Snoop and gang.... Legend.
Yeah... this the one I wanted to see. By the way , Bernie Worrell, the 3rd name, was with Parliament, a group I was reminded of by Les's mask. One of the P-funk used to wear a mask with a long rubber nose.
Ya baby. Sir Nose all day long. My sister got high with him during a George Clinton and PFunk show. Bitch didn't even call me. I was there! We were there together- she goes to the bathroom, runs into him, and off they go to smoke a joint. Geesh!
I was in that crowd and saw the performance. Seems like it was yesterday... hard to believe it was almost 20 years ago. Shocked that more attendees weren't in that tent.
I'd like to note that les is a tall man. And he has to look up to bucket head. I'd be willing to bet he's a couple inches taller than Jamel... Although it'd be close for sure.
I saw Buckethead and Claypool at a outdoor show in Colorado. Before the show Buckethead went to the Elitch Gardens Theme Park I was at and he was giving away kitchen items, random baby care products and tickets to the show. He had a handler she was walking him around. I walked up to say hello and his handler said Want to shake his hand? I stuck my hand out and Buckethead lifted his arm like it was hydromechanical. The mans hand was twice the size of mine. He didn't close his hand it was a open shake. As soon as I, if you wanna call shaking his hand, was done the arm went slowly down like a robot. He went into his rain coat pocket came back up slowly with a ticket. His handler said "Buckethead would like you to come to his show tonight. I said thank you to her and him. He didn't say a word. He turned slowly and they walked away. I didn't get any of his weird gifts but I did go to the show and it was out of this world. A memory I'll never forget.
We rolled into Philly one night and caught these guys. Everyone that came to see these guys were musicians and players. Everybody walked in excited and completely stoked. Then the lights went down and the boys took the stage and proceeded to completely tear the place up. When it was time to go every last one of us walked out with our heads down looking for the spot to burn all of our gear knowing what had just taken place was a whole another level of playing. LMAO!!!! Everyone was like well I better find another hobby cuz those boys are holding court. Lol...Awesome night out.
They literally just made that whole piece up on the spot improvisation. No practice or prep and it came out great. Big B is definitely on another level musically. Check out his Bermuda Triangle album. It’s basically a hip hop album he did and it’s a masterpiece
If the people from the purge came and kicked your door in, all's you and your brothers would have to do is stand up and they'd be like "oh shit my bad" and they'd walk back out and shut your door.
Oh we gonna bring the funk yeah? HAHAHAHAHAHA Brother Jamel...................Check out the Canadian Band, TWRP, Tuperwear Remix Party. The Bass player Commander Meouch is for real. I recommend NO PANTS DANCE.........
