Sorta a Review.


I'll start by admitting i'm totally biased. I hate everything les claypool has ever done. I still remember my first impression of Primus... "This is not worth seeing the light of day". I felt every song/release they had was worthless. Primus gets some of the harshest criticism i can give any band. Pure garbage. The thing that bothered me the most was claypool himself.

I found this movie so boring that I was repeatedly tempted to turn it off. I should have, but a friend said its worth watching to the end. He was wrong. I should have turned it off when i had the idea. I may have chuckled a few times, but didn't laugh at all at the "big joke" of the film. Its a short movie, but is a complete waste of time.

Every musical moment stunk like claypool, which is a very offensive smell. The characters were very weak, and quite annoying. Obviously this entire movie consists of inside jokes. There was nothing for me to connect with--even though I listen to jam bands, have been to music festivals, and have been in bands with people similar to these characters.

My last comment is this.. I watched the Anvil documentary the night before... it is 10 times better than this mockumentary.

Skip this... watch "The Story of Anvil"
