Les Claypool, Bass Guitar Player and Song Writer,
and the Flying Frog Brigade: "Buzzards of Green Hill" ‌‌

When performing, it's hard to determine which Les Claypool enjoys more: wearing one of his many unusual masks or his long red underwear. If you're a fan, you know he loves both. Over the years he's one of the premier performers who wears union suits with his trademark hat on stage and in videos. In fact, I know of no other performer who appears more often in his red union suit than he. Claypool is truly a Union Suit Fan in the Limelight! 

In this September, 2002 Purple Onion album video, The Les Claypool Flying Frog Brigade's “Buzzards of Green Hill,” Claypool has something to say. It was the first release of the Frog Brigade's original compositions.  

Wearing his signature red union suit and black hat, Claypool inexplicably holds up a number of lyric cue cards with music blaring in the background. But it's great fun!

The Rolling Stone magazine gave the album a rating of three out of five and declared, in part, the song "allows the master bass player to give full vent to his weirdness.... sure to please hardcore fans." And this from The College Music Journal: "Claypool's bass-spanking and carnival barker delivery warp the songs like the inside of a funhouse mirror."
