He's playing a the Newport Music Hall -a delighful little cave-like, yet legendary venue in Columbus next Thursday.

 

Ticket-bastard has tix for an Andy-Jack, (plus their usurious 'service charges, which oughta put it up around $30/seat...) And then there's the inflated beer prices... And the new-fangled smoking ban...

 

 

Ahh, {censored} it! I guess I already talked myself out of it, unless somebody can make a truly compelling argument to the contrary.

GO!!!!!!!!!!!!

i've never seen him with primus/frog brigade, but i did see him with Gabby La La at bonnaroo. his stage presence is incredible, i would give up smoking for a few hours to be able to go to that show. *lights up last camel* claypool never comes within a reasonable distance from my town, so i'm gonna have to save awhile before i can afford the road trip/tickets to go see him.

 

GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Who is he touring with now? Best I've seen him with was Oysterhead, even if Primus is one of my all time favorites (and reason I play bass :p ).

I've seen him with Oysterhead, Primus, and C2B3....all were good shows, but I guess I've tired of his "hick-like rapping" over oompah bass lines. The best parts of all of the shows is when he shuts up and just plays bass...IMO.

I actually don't care for his style. Saw him open for U2 with Primus and he was out-classed...

 

Particularly didn't like his arrogant quote that he thought he would get the call from The Who when Entwistle passed.

I would definately go, I've seen primus 3 times.

 

Always a fun gig, and you'll jump around like pogo stick :D

 

 

I still dont get how he plays with his bass practically parallel to the floor & pulls off his chops flawlessly without even lookin at it and spits those bizzare vocals. He's just a natural freak of nature.
