An invigorating and completely inventive style

The most original rock bassist to come along in the '90s was unquestionably Primus' Les Claypool. With his oddball sense of humor and funky playing, Claypool took his varied musical influences and created.

Claypool is one of the founding members of the band Primus. In addition to his Primus duties, Claypool has always had time for side projects — Sausage (a reunion of the original Primus lineup), Les Claypool & the Holy Mackerel, The Frog Brigade, and Oysterhead, as well as guesting on albums by other artists (Buckethead, Jerry Cantrell, Victor, Limp Bizkit, Tom Waits, Rob Wasserman, etc.) ~ Greg Prato
