Les Claypool

Leslie "Les" Edward Claypool is a bassist and lead singer, best known for his work with the alternative rock band Primus. Born on September 29, 1963, in Richmond, California, Claypool is famous for bringing the electric bass into the spotlight with his funky, creative playing. Though he cites Geddy Lee of Rush as his greatest influence, his style is unique, mixing heavy-metal tapping and fingerplaying with a Stanley Clarke-like slap technique, with heavy doses of The Residents thrown in for good measure. Claypool has in turn influenced many other bassists.
