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. |
