Les Claypool covering the Animals album

Les Claypool and his band cover the entire Animals album on an album called "Live Frogs Set 2".

I'd like to know if anyone has this album and if it is worth paying the money for....another band covering that album entirely sounds pretty interesting.

If you're a fan of Les Claypool then I'd say its worth a listen. He and his band do a pretty faithful rendition of the album. On Set 1 he covers Shine On You Crazy Diamond. The whole thing used to be available for download on the Primus website. Not sure if it still is though.

While buying a copy of Animals yesterday, the salesperson was telling me how great that music was.
I know Les Claypool and Primus do great Floyd covers.

Buuuut they will never come close to Pink Floyd.

In that case why bother? You may as well listen to the real thing.

Jerry Gromble was race car driving gnome?

A shelter for pigs on the seven seas of cheese?

Of course, but it's a nice tribute. If you're a fan of Les Claypool and Animals then it's a good listen.

wher bouts can I download that...I looked on the primus site

I had a look but it's not there anymore.

I think Animals is an interesting album to choose, though it is part of the golden era of albums it isn't their most known or successful.

A crying shame, that.

i know someone who is a hardcore primus fan and coincidentally, is favorite floyd album is animals. he mentioned the les claypool version of it to me , but i think ill stick with the original

I like Primus : for their aim is to have fun....of course if it brings the cash,its a bonus...as the band members are sort of animation & cartoonist themselves i like their p.o.v.
The way Les takes on Roger Waters's vocal style on "Southbound Pachyderm" complete with helicopter fx etc.....and he admits for his respect for Pink Floyd and has been quoted that he never meant to spoof PF but really is a great admirer of Rog.

I heard most of Les Claypool's Frog Bragade covering Animals on XM radio a while ago. It was great if your a Les Claypool or Pink Floyd fan. I loved it. It is put togethor very very well and definately worth a listen. If anyone finds a copy of this e-mail me at milton_bradley222@yahoo.com

Yup, Les Claypool has been begging ol' Reg to produce one of his albums. You got admit, Waters has no peer when he wants to create an atmosphere with sound. Always has the cleanest edits too. Makes one very jealous at times.

Claypool is one of my favourite bass players.
