Truth!!

he absolutely is

Truth!

C.O do ya' know I'm being very kind. I could have you blocked and your comments dropped in a heartbeat. But this is America and freedom of speech is a beautiful thing (even if the speech is quite slurred) wine on you cwazy wymand with love and respect MHB

You are the bassist who was with the band from 1979 to 1980 right? Were you the original bassist? As the band formed in 1978.

Yes I was the original bass player, less just filled in before I joined, less was putting his work into his own sound.he didn't want anything to do with blind illusion. Me Bret hern and mark were the original the music was arranged by all of us. Truth

Mind Confusion.....First of all The first Bassist for Blind Illusion was indeed Les who learned how to play by learning and playing our songs.He was also in the DeAnza High Jazz band respectively. Les wrote the bass line during the drum soloish breaks in Rocker's Unite. When Les left the first time it was because his uncle told him in order to become a great musician on bass he should pursue a more Jazz/Rock Fusion group.This was around a year after he joined. No disrespect to C.O who reluctantly stepped in for about a year and a half.The way Les came back to Blind L for his second term was he called me one day to come and Jam with I believe it was Mark Edgar on drums and a really good Keyboardist.Les had improved quite alot. This short lived unit was Sons of Illusion.This to me was Les's way of paying homage to Blind Illusion. C.O announced he was quitting and Les stepped right in .

@@markbiedermann7467 Thank you! I got an original copy of The Sane Asylum this year. Thanks for all the good tunes!

@@jamescooney-callahan6631 Thank you brother! I still love all the guys I've played with. It's nearly heartbreaking when someone such as C.O tries to rewrite a history for a band that he is actually receiving major credit for with the release of the material he played on. Blind Illusion Ultimate Anthology vol 1 The Likewise Sessions. Being able to read this thank you from you however makes it all worthwhile!

yeah right I think the opening resembles Cheerleading but ballet......hmmmmm

Monkey Steals peach suite.....🥵

That such a valuable memory man, glad you got to experience that 🤝

This is the wall in Xian the old capitol of China. Do hup is somewhere back in the past in my youth. I am reading inside your comment with great joy as I am to return to my school soon for a visit!!!!! EMITUOFU

Yep^_^

Playing a Rickenback with a pick by the looks of it

@@FerencHonkoop That is actually Adam Gates in the video Les's understudy.Les is on the recording and never plays with a pick.

@@markbiedermann7467 Ah yes I overlooked that in the beginning of the film, thanks for pointing it out.

@@markbiedermann7467 what is exactly the chronological order of the bassists of Blind Illusion, if I may ask?

​@@glfriendliness9793 Oh shit!!!!!! Les Claypool 1978 to early 1979 Christopher Reed Olsen 1979 to summer of 1980 Les Claypool returns summer 1980 to 82 I think. Oh fuk who's next? Craig Maracich 82ish to 83 ish whenever we had keyboards Craig was on Bass Not real sure about the dates....Next uo for the Blind SUN SESSIONS IS MARK SEARLE ON BASS who then moves to Guitar for the Trilogy of terror .Bass on Trilogy of Terror and The Slow Death Demo is Gene Gilson.Les Claypool returns in 1987 to record The Sane Asylum. Also The Medicine Show. Next up on Bass is Vern McElroy in 1989. In 1990 ish comes Joerg Eichner on Bass and songwriting.The next couple of years it was Joel Paulle for a minute Evan Barnes for a minute then Blind Illusion went on hiatus until Danny Harcourt on Bass I think. The Demon Master years of killer Stoner Metal! Danny ut in alot of years on and off with Blind Illusion and is currently my Bassist for The GhostKings. After Danny comes Harald O Oimoen and the return of Progressive Thrash Metal. After Harald O comes Bassist Virtuoso Tom Gears.

@@markbiedermann7467 so that’s a boat ton of bassists! So Les was bassist when I was age 6 years of age! Daaaayyyuuum!!!!

@@markbiedermann7467 I wasn’t expecting such a lengthy answer. I take for granted how long ago y’all started! I do remember that the song credits on The Sane Asylum listed dates back to the 70’s, so I knew that y’all were of the old school Bay Area progheads!

If you are speaking of the Medicine Show we will see. Keep an eye out for Blind Illusion Ultimate Anthology series Vol 2 coming soon on Cult Metal Classics out of Greece! 1981 to 1986
