The American bassist, singer, and songwriter of Primus fame has been destroying the confines of what the bass guitar can be since "Frizzle Fry" dropped in 1990. Every young bass player is confronted with Primus at some point. The '90s alt-metal group has a sound that simply can't be replicated or copied, and that sound is back on tour as part of a very exciting lineup of shows.
The set list includes all of Claypool's weird and wonderful work from all three bands, and since the tour just started, I'll give you all a little crash course.
The band gets much weirder on the studio release "Purple Onion." The bulk of their output is live, but we get some strange froggy sounding music off this album, which has been featured heavily in the band's portion of the Claypool Gold setlist.
The Claypool Lennon Delirium
With a brand new album out this year, The Claypool Lennon Delirium is Claypool's collaboration with Sean Lennon, son of John Lennon. This project is much more in the realm of psych rock, with a bit of Sgt. Pepper-era Beatles leaking into the sound. Claypool's bass playing combines with a bit of whimsical energy that gives this team up a bit of a signature sound aside from his other work.
Primus
Of course, Claypool's most well known project and the band taking up the majority of the set-list, Primusshattered the rock scene of the 1990s with some of the most insane music that has ever been made. Claypool is truly doing alien things on the early Primus records and making some amazing metal music.
Whether it's tapping like Eddie Van Halen on "Jerry Was a Race Car Driver," doing an entire solo of just ghost notes on "Lacquer Head," or being the song that made me fall in love with the band, "Tommy the Cat," I can't get enough.
The tour just kicked off in Reno last night, and there are plenty of dates to come. Be sure to check out if a show is near you on the band's website. Any true Primus fan will agree with me when I say that Primus sucks!
