The lead single from 1997’s Brown Album, Shake Hands with Beef sees Claypool lay down an infectiously erratic bass line, which is mirrored by a grungy guitar performance from Larry LaLonde.
“This bass line’s a quick little ’thump and pluck’ octave thing,” said Claypool. “Kinda ‘da-ga-da gong…’ instead of ending on the same octave, I go down a whole step. It’s hard because it’s on a 6-string and on my bass the strings are very close together; it’s hard to get in there and get some of those notes.”
PURE FILTH ????????????
