I 1993 så jeg en absurd musikkvideo på MTV.  En siklende hillbilly med baseballkølle og en tynn, nasal stemme liret av seg en merkelig sang til ekstreme bassganger.  Sangen var "My Name Is Mud" og gruppen het Primus.  Jeg hadde funnet et 90-talls band som virkelig var noe for seg selv.  Denne videoen er bare en av en rekke sære videoer som nå kan nytes på den nylig utgitte DVD'en "Animals Should Not Try To Act Like People".  Videoen til "Wynona's Big Brown Beaver" ble senere kåret til en av historiens beste musikkvideoer. Les Claypools basspill er unikt, han hamrer og slår på basstrengene i et ekstremt tempo, helt ulikt alle andre bassister.  I Primus er bassgitaren det ledende instrumentet. Gitar og trommer danner stort sett bare kulisser rundt Claypools bass og vokal.  Tekstene består av absurde, tegneserieaktige historier med masse skrudd humor.  Derfor er det kanskje ikke så rart at Les Claypool er ansvarlig for musikken til animasjonsserien "South Park".  Ved siden av Primus har Claypool vært aktiv i en rekke andre prosjekter, først med "The Holy Mackerel" og "Sausage", i senere tid med "Frog Brigade", "Oysterhead" og Gov't Mule. De to første av disse prosjektene er sterkt preget av Claypools bass mens han bidrar med sitt eminente basspill på tre kutt på Gov't Mule-utgivelsen.  I Oysterhead er ikke Claypool like klar frontfigur, her spiller han sammen med Stewart Copeland fra Police og Trey Anastasio fra Phish.  Claypools siste prosjekt, i samarbeid med den eksetriske gitaristen Buckethead, har fått det absurde navnet "Colonel Claypool's Bucket of Bernie Brains" og ga ut "The Big Eyeball In The Sky" i 2004.  Her videreføres Claypools bassdominerte musikk innenfor kjente rammer.  Samme år turnerte Primus i USA fem år etter deres siste plateutgivelse.  Fra denne turneen ble en konsert, fra Chicago, utgitt på DVD; Hallucino-Genetics.  En svært god konsert som dessverre skjemmes noe av en svært dunkel scenesetting. I de senere år har Claypool gitt ut et fåtall titler som rene soloprosjekt.
