Les Claypool Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Les Claypool:

I liked the name Frog Brigade because it lent itself to a lot of cool imagery with the whole frog thing.

New Year's was insane! It was the best show I've ever played for New Year's.

Les Claypool

I've just always had a soft spot for character actors.

San Francisco is an interesting place. It's always been such a nice culturally diverse environment, which it still is, but there's a lot of money there now and a lot of dot com's so it's a little different than it used to be.

Les Claypool

I love character actors. If I'm switching channels, and something with Slim Pickens is on, or Walter Brennan, I'm stuck. I have to watch it.

Les Claypool

I think the world is very much embracing this whole concept of musicians going out and playing their instruments and playing music for music as opposed to music that has something to do with some form of image or imagery.

Les Claypool

I've always said the bass just happens to be the crayon I picked out of the box. I'd still be drawing the same pictures... should I have picked trumpet or accordion or guitar, whatever it may be. The sounds in my head are still the same.

Les Claypool

I think Phish will come back. I just think it's time for a breather.

Les Claypool

We've all had our thing. I listened to the Monkees when I was little kid.

Les Claypool

You don't go see Primus to see what kind of new clothing I'm wearing or what my new hairdo is. You come to see Primus for the musical experience and the visual experience. I think, anyways. Maybe I'm wrong!

Les Claypool

I'm a big believer in spontaneity.

Les Claypool

I have a very difficult time describing my music. Because I run into people in the hardware store and they go, 'Oh, you're a musician. So what kind of music do you play?' And I go, 'Uh, I've been doin' this for many years - I don't know what to call it.'

Les Claypool

Theaters are great. They're designed to sound good, not for basketball.

Les Claypool

Play as much as you can as often as you can with as many people as you can. That's how you learn and grow.

Les Claypool

You might have a favorite book or film, but you can only watch or read it so many times before you have to let it sit and then go back and realize it's your favorite still. At some point everything gets a little stale and you have to step away from it.

Les Claypool

My favorite venues are the 2,000 seat theaters, like the Warfield. If there was a Warfield in every city, I would play it. That's all I would do. I love venues like that.

Les Claypool

I have a very difficult time describing my music.

Les Claypool

Music in general is looking for something new overall.

Les Claypool

For the past couple of years I've been pretty bored with music in general... just bored with it.

Les Claypool

I didn't realize Metallica was as big as they were. I just thought it was my buddy Kirk's band - we went to high school together. I wasn't really following metal.

Les Claypool

The first film I made was when I was 13 and it was called 'The Dogs That Ate Detroit.' It starred my Saint Bernard Barney, and it was a killer thriller with oodles of special effects that were cutting edge for the time.

Les Claypool

It's always hard to put your finger on what it is that makes Primus Primus.

Les Claypool

The bass is just the crayon that I picked out of the box. I'd probably be writing similar stuff if I played guitar or trumpet. The pictures I want to draw I do with this crayon I chose, which is the bass.

Les Claypool

For me to do a project - I have a pretty successful solo career, so - for me to even want to do Primus, it had to be a creative step forward.

Les Claypool

You know, there are times when you play a song over and over and over and you get a little tired of it and you let it sit for a while. It's like, you may love eating sushi, but if you eat it every single day, you're going to get a little tired of it.

Les Claypool

As I've moved through life, I've found that I like things to be as casual and as spontaneous as possible when writing.

Les Claypool

I've had fish come up on stage, and it's pretty disgusting. I try and discourage that. I discourage anything flying up on stage, actually.

Les Claypool

I never think about rhythm versus melody; I've always just played to what's in my head.

Les Claypool

You know, people would always ask me, 'How long is Primus going to go on?' And I would say, 'Until it isn't fun anymore.' At the end of the '90s, it just wasn't fun anymore on many levels.
