I was just currious why Les Claypool is not found in the archives. Primus is here, and as a long time fan I would have to say that his solo material is far more prog than Primus. ------------- Good, Better, Best. Never let it rest, Till your Good be Better and your Better, Best |

I think he woul fit perfectly, at least in Prog Related. Colonel Claypool's Bucket of Bernie Brains - The Big Eyeball in the Sky sounds very proggy to me. He sounds like a great addition. ------------- [QUOTE=darkshade] [QUOTE=Sckxyss] I'm disappointed - neither of these players are avant-garde! Al di Meola.

Colonel Claypool's Bucket of Bernie Brains has been cleared for PA addition as far as I know. Not really sure about his solo stuff except for "Highball with the Devil" which I have, but haven't listened to it for a while so Im not really sure about it's "proggyness". ------------- RIO/AVANT/ZEUHL - The best thing you can get with yer pants on! |

Ah, Good. That album, at least, is much closer to Prog than Primus. Though I do enjoy both. ------------- [QUOTE=darkshade] [QUOTE=Sckxyss] I'm disappointed - neither of these players are avant-garde! Al di Meola. [/QUOTE] haha i know. but the poll itself is avant-garde [/QUOTE] |

I would recomend the Les Claypool and the flying Frog Brigade Set 1. In my humble opinion it is Les at his best. ------------- Good, Better, Best. Never let it rest, Till your Good be Better and your Better, Best |

my two cents ...take it up with the admins.... Oysterhead and Primus were terminated with extreme prejudice right out of AR  into where they belong (?) PR. If Claypool is to be included.. that is where he'd go... and that is an admin call... ------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |

His solo album Of Whales And Woe is definitely proggier than his works with Primus and C2B3, but still I think Micky hit it right on the nose and he merits inclusion in at least PR.

PR is fine for me, his work can be very progressive at times, just not all of the time.

Oh, I could go off about how amazingly progressive and amazing they are, how the Staff is crazy for not adding him, and how I know more about Progressive rock than several intelligent collaborators.
But, I'd rather be honest about it.  ------------- [QUOTE=darkshade] [QUOTE=Sckxyss] I'm disappointed - neither of these players are avant-garde! Al di Meola. [/QUOTE] haha i know. but the poll itself is avant-garde [/QUOTE] |

| Not only Primus and Oysterhead, also Attention Deficit is included here, so there´s no reason for me to exclude him. His playing is quite innovative to deserve great attention |

Is it true that Claypool was in a mental hospital?

I hear that a new Priimus album is supposed to be coming out soon.
I hope it's good. ------------- [QUOTE=darkshade] [QUOTE=Sckxyss] I'm disappointed - neither of these players are avant-garde! Al di Meola. [/QUOTE] haha i know. but the poll itself is avant-garde [/QUOTE] |

Some people discussing Les Claypool ... do any of you know on what album / DVD / whaterever I can find the nearly 18 minute version of Tomorrow Never Knows in the downloaded file I have credited thus: Les Claypool - Tomorrow Never Knows (Beatles) featuring Oysterhead & the Fearless Flying Frog Brigade ------------- "Without prog, life would be a mistake." ...with apologies to Friedrich Nietzsche |
