Is is just me..

[ProfJIM]

...or is Primus/Les Claypool one of the only bands/people that can pull off covers right?

[K-nowledge]

That is because Les is one of the best musicians and bass players in music today. (y)

[ProfJIM]

oh, and Ben Gibeareghdkas
(death cab/postal service) has done some nice ones as well.

[abcdefz]

White Stripes do good covers.

To wit: "I Just Don't Know What to Do with Myself."

[ToucanSpam]

Primus are alright.

[Trimm Trabb]

Me first and the gimme gimmes are pretty good. (y)

:p

[cookiepuss]

les lives in our town. you know that solo release he did? There is a song about D's dinner which is an actual diner in our town. Sometimes we see Les at one of our local bars. he'll just come in and hang out. (y)

This has nothin to to with his ability to make covers, I just thought I'd share.

(tom waits also has a ranch in our area and i occasionally see him around town..but he's fairly private.)

[ProfJIM]

D's Diner was on the Claypool's Frog Brigade studio album

Thats cool. I've seen him in concert twice, up front for both. One for the Frog Brigade and once for Primus.

The Residents do the best covers I've ever heard.

[Tzar]

les claypool auditioned for metallica when Cliff died.
true story.

[ProfJIM]

Come on, thats lame trivia everybody knows like "OOOH VIDEO KILLED THE RADIO STAR WAS THE FIRST MUSIC VIDEO ON MTV"

[muddfoot]

Yes indeed, Primus's Miscellaneous Debris and Frog Brigrade's Live Frog Set 2 are both great cover albums. Les Claypool can do no wrong.
