Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Charley Rhythm Player	#1 by Charley Hockin at Jun 22, 2006 at 6:52 PM EST
	icon, how many mods do you know that shave their heads?

No Picture Mark Average	#2 by Mark McL at Jul 2, 2006 at 9:19 PM EST
	Les Claypool said live once (can't remember when but something from Primuslive) that there is no real Bob and that he thought it was just a cool name, whilst the lyrics seem to tell otherwise, so maybe it's based on an actual person or similar events but no friend of theirs hung themselves, at least not one called Bob. I certainly don't think the character is a nazi, I think he just shaved his head for a change that didn't help and the pictures could just be a metaphor for beauty that's never appreciated, or someone's magnificant work that was never appreciated when they were alive. The song's dark enough without it being about an actual person, I can barely listen to it anymore it's so depressing.

No Picture Matt Average	#3 by Matt at Jul 27, 2006 at 2:26 AM EST
	Funny about the wedding song in the above post!!! Anyway, it's about a guy who killed himself. I do not believe the guy with the shaved head and Docs is a racist though, just because of Les's style if the guy was a skinhead he would have elaborated a little bit more on that. Im thinking this guy with the docs is more of a Mod then anything, but not a racist.

No Picture Tanner Average	#4 by Tanner Rudnick at Sep 10, 2006 at 2:05 AM EST
	I love the way the bass changes from the delicate solo to that chunky muddy main slap riff.

No Picture Josh Average	#5 by Josh Riemersma at Sep 29, 2006 at 5:28 PM EST
	simply put its about a friend of les's who was an artist, and just interesting dude suddenly commiting suicide

No Picture matt Wanna Be	#6 by matt sims at Oct 18, 2006 at 9:37 PM EST
	Which verse refers to "Bob" and who is he? (He is obviously not Bob Cock.

No Picture Phil Wanna Be	#7 by Phil Cifone at Nov 12, 2006 at 12:36 PM EST
	Bob was Les Claypools mate, hung himself evidently. He was a bit of a nutter. Creative genius. His Brother and girlfriend came home from the shop and you know the rest.

No Picture Meaty Average	#8 by Meaty at Dec 26, 2006 at 7:13 PM EST
	This song is pretty self-explanitory. Although, I'm not quite sure about the second verse about the man who shaved his head. Anyone willing to help?

No Picture Alex Professional	#9 by Alex Moser at May 17, 2007 at 11:41 PM EST
	i love the bass work in this song

No Picture robert Professional	#10 by robert cunningham at Jun 8, 2007 at 3:18 PM EST
	I think he used Bob the same way lots of other artist use John or Johnny. It's a common name, not a specific person.

No Picture Cody Rhythm Player	#11 by Cody Mosca at Jun 18, 2007 at 6:22 PM EST
	Les said in a interview it's about one of his chaps committing suicide.

No Picture Craig Average	#12 by Craig Brotschi at Jul 6, 2007 at 1:29 PM EST
	"Ler, he thought him pitiful" has to be my favorite line in the song. It's just so fucking personal to mention something like that about a person in the band.
