i could be a pretentious twat and post a video of NHOP but i won't. i'll just say that, while les claypool is an incredibly talented man, claiming he's the best player alive (marcus miller yo), or of all time is a strong sign of ignorance.

he's definitely one of the best, if not
the best in popular music tho. the bass solo on the live tommy the cat from rhinoplasty is good shit
i've always thought fieldly's bass had a really cool sound tho. well, in their earlier years anyway. i haven't heard them lately, but the percussive jangly sound he used to have was cool.
