Les Claypool, lead singer and bassist of Primus turns 52 today, he is arguably the greatest bassist ever, and he shares his birthday with Jerry Lee Lewis.
We all know that Les Claypool has some freak-like talent on the bass, but so does this kid! Primus are a downright eclectic and unpredictable band, incorporating avant-garde and jazz-fusion elements into their own personal brand of rock music. Watch as this kid tears up the song 'Golden Boy!'
Primus frontman Les Claypool is sad to report that his nephew Matthew has passed away after struggling with Infant's leukemia for the past two years. The bassist-singer brought Matthew's struggle to light last year when auctioning off one of his basses to raise funds to help offset his brother's family's mounting medical costs.
