Five Bands That Should Become Robots

in
By Adam Kovac (CHARTattack) May 31, 2010 1:39 pm
Lots of hair metal bands in the '80s sang about getting oiled up and doing some repetitive motions (mostly involving thrusting), but it was never vital to them performing.

By Kate Harper (CHARTattack) March 9, 2010 12:09 pm
Here's something we could only have thought up in our wildest musical fantasies (actually, that's not true, since we could never have thought this up in those, either): Alexisonfire and Primus singer/bassist Les Claypool will perform on the same stage at the Songwriters Hall Of Fame gala, and they'll both be playing Rush songs.

The Ten Funniest Dudes In Rock

By Barry Taylor (CHARTattack) January 15, 2010 12:47 pm
Stand up comedy and rock 'n' roll are a lot alike. George Carlin was raging against the machine long before Zack De La Rocha and Tom Morello weren't doing what you told them.

You know who you should never leave alone in your house? Les Claypool fans. First they'll be all wiping their hippie juices all over your couch and your kitchen table. Then they'll be eating all your food. And finally they'll steal your vacuum cleaner with some ragged notion of turning it into a mega-bong. Fucking drug addicts.

By Tim Melton (CHARTattack) August 4, 2006 6:00 pm
OK, if you're any kind of Les Claypool fan, you already know of the juggernaut-thumbed bassist's teenaged fascination with our own Canadian monster of the bass, Geddy Lee. But as ChartAttack found out from a sit-down with Claypool before his sold-out gig at Toronto's Phoenix Concert Theatre, he also has admiration for another Canadian icon we...

in
By CHARTattack Staff May 3, 2006 5:30 pm
Les Claypool's numerous identities were well-represented on his 5 Gallons Of Diesel DVD that came out late last year, but he's just going to be himself on his next solo album. The slap-happy bassist and singer will release Of Whales And Woe on his own Prawn Song label on May 30. Claypool recorded the album at his home studio in California with...
