Happy birthday to an amazing bass player, Les Claypool!

 

 

Les is a musician, singer, songwriter, composer, author and actor best known as the bassist and lead vocalist of the band Primus. Claypool's playing style on the electric bass mixes tapping, flamenco-like strumming, whammy bar bends, and slapping.

In 1986, after the death of Metallica bassist Cliff Burton, Claypool auditioned for role of lead bassist. Metallica frontman James Hetfield remarked that Claypool was not offered the job because "he was too good" and "should do his own thing."

He mentioned later that he wasn't a good fit and probably wouldn't have joined anyway.
